I didn't use her so I'll just write down my observations.

qcb+P obviously much improved now, Leona can move around after throwing the blade.
d,u+K goes much faster than before now.

I read Leonas back forward slash combos off a stand c/d like kof96 now.

Q.Max combo for Leona.

Close D (2 hits) -> f+B -> ABC -> uf (jump forward) -> qcf,hcb+P.

- Only BcF+ D combos after heavy attacks. BcF+ B still doesn't combo.

- The trade off, is that I don't think its possible to juggle anything after the BcF+D. The only possible followup after that is the f+D followup which has really tight timing.

- BcF+B also doesn't seem to launch opponents as high anymore. I can't seem to connect a V-Slasher after it in midscreen. The only DM i've been able to juggle after it is the qcfX2+P in the corner.

- According to the Wiki, you can do this combo with Extra gauge:

d.B> d.A> qcb, hcf+ ABC or qcfX2 + ABC and you'll combo either the Rush DM or the Upperkick DM. This seems to be a very inconsistent shortcut though. Out of maybe 20 times that I tried, the DM (and SDM) for qcb,hcf+K would combo once. The rest of the time, hitting ABC would just Q.Max me and not result in the DM being performed. The qcfX2+P DM doesn't even seem to connect with the shortcut due to lack of range.

- Can do d.A> Q.Max> close s.D> whatever

- Can do close s.D (1 hit)> Dodge Cancel> Dodge attack> qcb, hcf+K
OMG BORKEN!!

-Wouldn't d.B > Q.MAX > s.D [2hits]> whatever (f.B > C V-Slasher)
make more sense since you can block a d.A high and the d.B you cannot?

-Incidently, d.B > Q.MAX > s.D [2hits] > qcb~hcf+K SDM (Orochi Leona!)

does the same damage as:

-d.B > Q.MAX > s.D[2hits] > f.B > C V-Slasher SDM

Ah I was just repeating what the wiki said.

Though, I think one advantage of doing d.A instead of d.B is that its faster.

I see. I guess they both have their uses. I like the fact that d.B has more range (not much) and you have to block low for it.
