Storyline

In the Second World Fighting Tournament, Lion was knocked out in the first round, but in that bout he discovered within himself a hidden fighting spirit. With a brand new focus, Lion became totally absorbed in his training as he sought to improve himself. A year and several months passed, when an invitation finally arrived for the Third World Fighting Tournament. In order to redeem himself, and evaluate his new skills, Lion entered the Tournament. This time, he will do better!

Pros Cons
  • Good Strings for Pressure: Lion's strings are quite good for pressuring the opponent due to them having enders that knock down.
  • Mobility: Lion has some of the best mobility in the whole game. Good jump, special movement, left-foot forward tricks, great evade moves.
  • Okizeme: Thanks to his mobility, he has easy access to urawamari tech and an overall great okizeme game.
  • Fast Normal Hit Launch: 44K, while a high move, is 11 frames of execution, which is lightning fast in this game for a normal hit launcher.
  • Strong Lows: In a game where lows are almost all bad, Lion's stable of lows are really good with many of them resulting in knockdowns of some kind.
  • Foot-Stance Heavy Character: Lion relies a lot on being in left foot forward for his mobility to be used to its' full potential. Without it he has poor option selects.
  • Low Combo Damage: Outside of specific scenarios, Lion has lower damage than the rest of the cast, but not by much. He excels against Taka, however.
  • Weak Backdash: His regular 4E backdash is bad, but in left-foot forward you can use a bug/technique to enhance it.
  • Slow Jab: His jab is 10 frames for execution, on the slower end. This means that Lion cannot really spam jabs like some other characters can as his can get beaten out. He will need to get creative to win neutral situations.
