Intro

JP Name: ミステリアス・ライオン

Mysterious Lion (or M. Lion for short) is an original character to Kung Fu Master and Fists of Fire. Played by Sam Wong in disguise, Lion fights with magic by summoning bombs, teleporting, flying across the screen, and using a shrinking transformation. He doesn't speak, opting instead to communicate through dance and strange squeaking noises.

M. Lion uses a hit-and-run playstyle with his bombs that can either travel a short distance or fullscreen before exploding. Bombs allow for powerful combos on hit and strong pressure on block, in addition to chip damage. His slide is a very fast low attack that is difficult to punish if spaced well, which forces the opponent to either stay at midrange or spend a lot of time crouch blocking. His goal is to frustrate the opponent into overextending as they attempt to make their way in.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Best punish in the game with 3 frame Lion Crusher Excellent throw range, second only to Kim-Maree Normals like 5LP, 2HK, and far.5HK are very strong in neutral Lion Bombs are great for chip, and usually lead to a stun combo on hit Ultra Heavy weight makes many juggles impossible against him In the corner, his throws and HP Lion Crusher become extremely powerful Super can be used to timer scam some characters that have no way to hit Chibi-Lion Recovers from dizzy more quickly than most characters

Awkward execution (frequently leading to accidental Lion Bombs) The game slows down during Lion Bomb, making it hard to properly input followups Applying pressure with lights cancelled into Lion Bomb is risky, as the opponent can dash through it Overhead is slow, weak, and difficult to combo off of at many ranges Juggles can be difficult to convert, and the timing is character/range specific Super is risky to activate, and has no combo utility

Frame Data Info (click to expand)
Startup	The number of frames it takes for a move to become active. If this value is lower than the opponent's Hit Adv or Block Adv, it can be used to punish that move if it is in range. If a second value is listed in (parentheses), the move hits later during its active frames (i.e. a 2-hit overhead where the first hit whiffs vs. crouching).
Active	The number of frames that an attack's hitbox remains active. The first active frame overlaps with the final startup frame. Attacks with multiple hits are separated by an asterisk (*) if there is no gap between hits, or by a number in (parentheses) denoting the number of frames between active hitboxes. --Example 1: 3*5 = 3 active frames (1st hit), 5 active frames (2nd hit) --Example 2: 2(5)4 = 2 active frames, 5f gap, 4 active frames For attacks with long, complex sets of active frames, the description will explain the details and the Active column will simply display the total number of active frames. Attacks with more active frames are more effective as pokes and anti-airs.
Recovery	The number of frames that a character cannot act after startup and active frames have passed. For airborne attacks, recovery may be listed as 'X + Y land', where X+Y is the total recovery and Y is the number of grounded recovery frames (which allows the character to be thrown or punished with a grounded combo).
Guard	The way a move must be guarded against. High = Can be blocked standing, whiffs against crouching. Mid = Can be blocked both standing and crouching. Low = Must be blocked crouching. Overhead = Must be blocked standing Throw = Cannot be blocked
Hit Adv	The frame advantage of an attack on hit. 0 means the attacker and defender recover at the same time. A positive number means the attacker recovers before the defender. --Example: A move listed as +4 on Hit may link into a move with 4f Startup. A negative number means the defender recovers before the attacker, and the attack may be punishable. --Example: A move listed as -6 on Hit may be punished by a move with 6f Startup, if it is in range. KD means the attack knocks down if it hits. May also be displayed as a range of values for attacks with significantly different frame advantage when used at different spacing. --Example: A move with '-5 to 3' advantage on hit can be anywhere from -5 to +3 depending on which active frame hits the opponent.
Block Adv	The frame advantage of an attack on block. This includes the final Guard Cancel frame (see the 'reversal' section of the Basic System page for more details) 0 means the attacker and defender recover at the same time. A positive number means the attacker recovers before the defender. A negative number means the defender recovers before the attacker, and the attack may be punishable. --Example: A move listed as -6 on Block may be punished by a move with 6f Startup, if it is in range. Throws cannot be blocked, so the column is left empty in this case. May also be displayed as a range of values for attacks with significantly different frame advantage when used at different spacing. --Example: A move with '-5 to 3' advantage on block can be anywhere from -5 to +3 depending on which active frame hits the opponent.
Damage	Base Damage of the attack, not accounting for scaling or opponent's defense value. Damage for each hit is separated by an asterisk (*) If there are several hits in a row with identical damage, it will be listed as A x B to save space --Example: 4*5x3*8 = 4 damage + 5 damage (3 hits) + 8 damage See Basic System page for details on damage scaling and defense.
Stun	Stun damage of the attack, not accounting for any scaling (light normals do not have any stun scaling). Throws never deal stun. Most characters have a maximum stun threshold of 10240, while Thorsten has 11520 and M. Lion has 12800. Stun damage for each hit is separated by an asterisk (*) If there are several hits in a row with identical stun, it will be listed as A x B to save space --Example: 256*128x3*512 = 256 stun + 128 stun (x3 hits) + 512 stun See Basic System page for details on stun.
Knockdown Timer	KD Timer damage of the attack, not accounting for any scaling (follows normal damage scaling rules). The higher a character's KD Timer value, the longer it takes to wake up after a knockdown. See "Damage" for more information on how to read the values. See Advanced System page for details on KD Timer.
Special Cancel	The ability to cancel the animation of a normal attack into a special/super move. Command normals can never be special cancelled. Specials cannot be cancelled into supers like in some other games. The only special cancellable air normal is Admiral Jackie's j.LP (into Air Dragon Shot).
Attribute	Self = Light normal that can be rapidly chained into itself on hit, block, or whiff. By default, self chains can be input very quickly (after the first active frame, whether it connects or not) (slow) means the self-chain must be delayed until the move's recovery (cannot chain during active frames or hitstop) No-Chain = Normal attack that cannot be chained into another normal OTG = Off The Ground; Attack will connect vs. a knocked down opponent for 25% of its usual damage. Airborne = Attack puts the user in the air, making them immune to throws, and hits will put them into a juggle state. Invincible/Invulnerable = Attack has no hurtbox and cannot be interrupted during these invincibility frames Mashable = Rapidly input buttons/directions for extra hits. For throws, defender can also mash to reduce damage. KD0/Spike = Knockdown Timer set to 0 -- opponent will be knocked down and immediately stand up Backturn = Causes juggled opponent to face the opposite direction, preventing backdash upon landing Crossup = Attack must be blocked in the opposite direction if it connects behind the opponent Squish = Move has a visual effect that flattens and stretches the opponent (no known gameplay effect)
Hitstun Type	Against standing opponents, attacks can inflict two types of reeling animations. They are referred to as High and Mid hitstun because it usually (but not always) correlates with High attacks vs. Mid/Low attacks. The hitstun reeling animation can affect combo routes due to different hurtbox widths. Crouching opponents always have the same reeling animation regardless of attack.

Lion, if all hits connect Cannot be activated while in proximity guard

Wakeup/Knockdown

Getup Attack Detailed Info (click to expand)

• Getup LK or HK must be input within a specific 16 frame window during the wakeup animation.
• The exact timing of this window varies by character and by whether it was a neutral wakeup or forward/back roll.
• During these 16 frames, the final LK or HK input will decide which version comes out. If LK and HK are input simultaneously, Getup LK takes priority.
• The Getup Attack will always come out on the first frame after the 16 frame input window, regardless of when it was input.
• For some characters, there is very little time between the end of the 16 frame Getup Attack window and the end of recovery, making it difficult to input a reversal move with LK or HK, so be mindful of this if you get accidental Getup Attacks.
• After inputting a Getup Attack, any special move input that occurs afterward will automatically be buffered until the attack animation has ended. This means that it's important to stop mashing directions on wakeup once the Getup Attack window is active, as you may get an unexpected special move way after it was input.

Getup LK	Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 8 17 12 Overhead KD -6 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 24 1028 384 - Invincible 1-7f, Airborne 1-28f - More useful due to being airborne and invincible throughout startup. A lot of pushback on block, tons of active frames, and very few recovery frames make it hard to punish.

Getup HK

Startup Active Recovery Guard Hit Adv Block Adv 14 3 23 Low KD -3 Damage Stun KD Timer Special Cancel Attribute Hitstun Type 24 1024 384 - Invincible 1-10f, OTG - A rare getup attack with invincibility that doesn't extend throughout the entire startup KD Timer is very short, but if you land a quick OTG afterward it resets the KD timer to allow for more OTGs Recovers in a crouching state, so it must be whiff punished with moves that work against crouchers

Hurtboxes/Hitstun

Standing (L High)	Standing (H High)	Crouching
Standing (L Mid)	Standing (H Mid)	Juggle State
Standing Blockstun	Crouching Blockstun	OTG State

"High" and "Mid" hitstun types do not always correspond to the attack's Guard Level (i.e. how it must be blocked). Low attacks on standing characters generally fall under the "Mid" category for example. The purpose of this table is to understand where the hurtboxes are when a character is reeling from an attack, which helps understand why certain sequences will hit or whiff. Attacks have 2 main types of hitstun they can do to grounded opponents, with further slight differences between light/heavy attacks.
Note: The lua console lists the following memory values for hitstun types:
L High = 26, H High = 27, L Mid = 29, H Mid = 30, Crouching = 32
