The Leroy Smith Tekken 8 Guide

[@FrozenEnoch]

The guide is good, but having a visual of button prompts goes a long way to help people understand how to play the character.

[@patrickmcknight2394]

Down 1,2,4 is elite for keep out and hermit transitions

[@comb711]

The only use i found for hermit f1 is that it gives him a fast low risk option to splat people during wall pressure

[@princecliveXVI]

Let’s go another guide from king Jay

[@raen_sti]

Great work on the guide! Hopefully this helps attract more Leroy players haha. I personally am not a fan of the B+3+4 combo ender because the Oki situation afterwards is pretty horrible. I've been liking 2 > DASH > UF+3+4, 1+2 because it is about the same damage (1 less dmg I believe?) and you get a good approach with shoulder charge which leaves you +13 if they block or you deal a shit ton of dmg. Another decent ender is B+3 > HRM 2,3 which gives u a bit better oki as well. Also just for max damage out of a heat burst, you can fit a full DF+3, 1 after a tornado and still land a microdash into heat burst. And then after you heat dash, UF+3 I believe does the most damage.

[@FrigolitBAWS]

just to add onto this what i fouind max damage post heat dash is running 3, it seems like slash kicks are the best option for alot of characters

[@raen_sti]

​@@FrigolitBAWS I think UF+3 might even do more damage! That's what I've been using at least.

[@AfTyson7]

Which move is the shoulder dash?

[@raen_sti]

​@@AfTyson7 If someone is a full screen away, if you just hold sprint at them your character should automatically do the armored shoulder charge. It's easiest to do after UF+3+4, 1+2 combo ender

SUPER HELPFUL GUIDE!!! Thank you for the guide!

[@Carlisho]

I feel like Cane should be available once a round, not once a match 😔

[@anhyesii6411]

I agree to this

[@1991jj]

The low launch cane is too strong to be once per round

[@Carlisho]

@@1991jj nah the best you can get out of it is like 48 dmg

[@anhyesii6411]

@@1991jj nah azu's stance is too OP, if that's powerful idk what azu is lol. Leroy should be buffed, bring his b 1+2 range back

[@MadOxide11]

Agreed!

[@c0wboys4life]

I feel like my real adjustment I have to make now trying to play Leroy is not having a traditional df 2 launcher or hop kick. I never played with a character without or had a orbital move but it does feel good to land b1+2 on counter hit

[@hdvision7944]

Great guide man

[@KaviWar7]

I'm Kishin with King but I want Leroy to be my second character. I didn't play it on T7 but I love the design of it and the parry tools of it. .

[@anhyesii6411]

Leroy's back 2 sucks ass, on t7 it was great but in t8 it sucks ass

[@WayneWilliams_902]

Should still get dustiel for that teach me video ‼️ only option tbh.

[@MarbleT]

thank you for guide!!!

[@luhhtee2547]

I was in the middle of watching this when it got took down 😂

[@solounhero]

another banger, keep it up brother!

[@RuTo94]

Getting ready for his buffs but I honestly think it’s not enough. His heat is gonna be strong AF when spamming rapid punches so gonna keep spamming it to chip them probably 30-40%. Think of it as Raven spamming his clones on chip damage if you’ve ever got hit by it before it does a sht ton of damage. Only downside is they can duck so can only do this a little bit in high ranks 😂 but the reward for using his heat should be satisfying

[@KaviWar7]

I usually use this combos: 72 DAMAGE IN OPEN STAGE while standing 2, df4,3, 2,1,2,1,2, b3+4. 85 DAMAGE WALL CARRY:while standing 2, df4,3, 2,1,2,1,2, db1,3, 1+2,1+2,1

[@NajarinPrime]

Yea for sure. 2 1 2 1 gives optimal damage

[@Sauze.]

what do you do after the wall bounce thingy

[@KaviWar7]

@@Sauze. It depends, if you have done the previous wall carry combo the damage will already be highly scaled and you will only be able to do b3+4 after the bound. If you have only bound, then you can try df4,3, 2,1,2,1, b3+4

[@Carlisho]

@@NajarinPrime It actually does he is not lying

[@NajarinPrime]

@@Carlisho I was agreeing. I apologize for sounding sarcastic.

[@dawkmanx6058]

My only question is what is thr benefit of sidestep after the cane for a combo? I always walk up qcf 2 for starter

[@KingJaeTV]

So the combo doesn’t go off axis

I wanna try leroy although he isnt good I hope we get Ganryu

I really appreciate the guide, but imma have to leave Leroy behind. Just not good enough to make him work, love the character but they gave him nothing here.

unless you're a high level player, tier list in tekken 8 does not apply to you

[@NajarinPrime]

I see you republished

[@PoloBlack-ne6vm]

....sheesh......your gonna have to make a new guide bro. This has to be 1.0 guide for Leroy beginners, then you gotta have an advanced guide once you do more research.

[@DownBadDad-iz9mp]

I hope he does too. He's actually a terrific with leroy. This guide helped me so much, but I know there's so much more setups being left out.

[@brougham1278]

Yo trying to look tuff in the thumbnail lol

[@jaywalker3553]

I haven’t played Leroy in T8 yet but for good measure let’s go ahead and nerf him some more 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Quake2815]

He's not so good in this game.

[@jaywalker3553]

@@Quake2815 yea I know see what Bamco thinks is hey will make him shiny and new as a new character but then they’ll let him be busted and play in tournaments and then after everyone complains he’s to strong they’ll just nerf him in to the ground and make him low tier . I think Reina and Azucena will get big nerfs to 😂😂😂😂😂
