Everyone accuses Leo Whitefang of being a "gorilla" and this stance is one of the reasons why, so in this video lets go over just exactly what this crazy stance is all about, including fun things like stance canceling to be plus on block whenever you want!
You can't enter BT stance with a HS hold anymore ? I feel like they changed a lot of characters to make them more "fair", but some are being a little more "faired" than others, Chipp, for example, lost the teleports, and that's pretty sad :'(
This will be the last of the Strive mini guides for now as the beta finally shuts down early tomorrow morning. Will be a few more videos including some of my gameplay and time from the beta, some overall thoughts on the whole experience, and maybe a silly vid or two unrelated to tech or anything like that and then things resume back to normal. Early next month we are very likely getting our first real look at SSJ4 gogeta, we got SFV season V, and who knows what else!?
@Sammy after beta ends I can rest a bit. But when sun is shining thats when you gotta get the hay right? Channel views last few days highest they've been in months.
With the Brynhildr stance, Lion man shows his true form, Gorilla man! 🦍 If I may, I wanna note that if his qcf+HS move does not cross-up, then it will not enter the back turn stance!
Thanks for all the videos you do roof is so easy to understand glad I found you from early dbfz I already knew this for leo but it's still great to see can't wait for a faust breakdown lol
That stance cancel heavy slash on block trick is going to be my new favorite frame trap! 😲 2k into 6k is an easy confirm and can be special canceled into pretty much imagination!
Oh the cross-up move is plus? Holy hell. I was mashing after doing it and I just thought people were scared and presses buttons late. That stance cancelling shit gave ne several ideas, though. I hope they don't nerf Leo by the time the retail version comes out.
played leo during the beta and had some mirror matches too, can confirm we never use the quarter circle triangle dash, if monkey is running just jab or slash and you can finally get a turn, if you are feeling bold you can also block and assert dominance that way
Definitely sticking with Leo upon launch. Gotta represent my Lion boy (even if he's more gorrila lol) I did not know most of his stance stuff was plush on block.
Great guide, but I recommend putting the song names in the description, even if they might be obvious. It would be very helpful for those who don't recognize them!
Beta is over in a few hours so no more time for guides/capture for guides really. But come the launch of the game don't worry as I will have tons of combos/guides/tech and all that for everything
Just be aware that an experienced opponent can grab you out of the cross up dash. But having a command grab with his high/low mixups makes Leo worth it for me
More guides when launch happens. Beta ends after tonight so basically I just don't got enough time. WIll be covered in full in every possible aspect come launch though no worries
For this game specifically I use an arcade stick, that said however playing on pad is 100% equally as viable and valid. I default to arcade stick all things being equal cause im old and grew up in the arcades but thats about it.
This character is obnoxious cuz I always react to the crossup lunge like it's a lariat before my brain can remind me it's crossing up and then the one time I remember to look for crossup it gets done at a range that makes it same side and I get bopped again smh

A Chipp Zanuff tutorial please? :)
@@AlcheonArt gotta wait til launch now, beta over after tonight
@@Rooflemonger Oh the beta is still on? i thought i missed it...i guess it's for consoles only since i see nothing on my Steam?
I noticed no one talks about this, but Leo can block while moving when you hold down slash or heavy slash

Donkey Kong music for the gorilla himself
this whole character is just the BUT WAIT, THERES MORE meme

Exciting times! Thanks for sharing so much content, but please take care of yourself 🙏
"Skidaddle, skidoodle, your turn is now a noodle."
In the mind of Leo player: OOH OHH AAH AAH AAH
HOO HOOO hoohoo HOO HAAA AAAH AAH HOOhoohoohoo HOO
Crossup with + frames, what actually. That's amazing.

good to note actually shoulda mentioned it. It cant crossup if enemy already cornered
This character was slapping me all over the beta 😂.
As someone who has learned a lot from all your DBFZ videos, I just wanted to say thank you keeping up the work with Strive!
Been waitin on this guide, this is my first guilty gear game and leo and nago are my favs so far
I'm just 20 seconds in, but the donkey Kong music already killed me. What a nice touch for a video about the King of primates himself
Thanks for all the videos you do roof is so easy to understand glad I found you from early dbfz I already knew this for leo but it's still great to see can't wait for a faust breakdown lol
I had no idea he could stance cancel out of moves what the heckers this characters is nuts

Ah. The song of my people.
Ooga booga me like stance, sword look like banana
Started playing Leo Saturday and love this character. I-No seems interesting, but I think I'll stick with Leo. Thanks for making this video!
Trying out leo in training. He fun so far. The disrespect with his back turn against the opponent
this is my entry gg games. just seeing him walking when in stance, i understand why he's unga bunga
I can't stop laughing to the dk song
Oh the cross-up move is plus? Holy hell. I was mashing after doing it and I just thought people were scared and presses buttons late.

Wow, completely insane character... How you are even supposed to counter these mixups is beyond me.
hell if I know, I haven't blocked the crossup once to date so far successfully :-0

Jeez, really making me rethink my main, that stance looks so cool and stance transition combos are gonna look so fire.

inb4 "This is the stance"
Thank u for calling it the "batista bomb" i needed to hear someone say that!
Hey monger if you use leo in back stances hs you can do his face forward overdrive no stance cancel required
Yeah, as mentioned in the vid backstance doesn't stop you from doing any of your normal specials.
time to learn the way of gorilla !
it would be fun if you can stance cancel to be + on block then go back into stance and repeat XD
Leo and anji are looking scary
Fun fact: If you mash Dust during the stance you can phase through some Supers
It’s so hard to pick what game to play since strive and the sfv update. Strive is a lot of fun
Hmm... I can't tell if you're trying to hint at some... I'm going ape trying to figure it out.
hey rooflemonger great video as usual! Would you be able to break down ky kiske and his dragon install?
Beta is over in a few hours so no more time for guides/capture for guides really. But come the launch of the game don't worry as I will have tons of combos/guides/tech and all that for everything
@@Rooflemonger awesome man! Thanks for taking the time to reply, I’ll be looking forward to your awesome videos. As always thank you for all you do!
Brynhildr
The BACK-kyrie stance
XD
King of the Jungle.
Just be aware that an experienced opponent can grab you out of the cross up dash. But having a command grab with his high/low mixups makes Leo worth it for me
The fucking donkey kong music had me doing a double take 😭😭😂
This is the stance! \_\_
1:57 of course its not your turn. When u Play against King of the Jungle there's never your turn.
Reject humanity, return to monke
How does Nagori's projectile and May's dolphin and whale interact with the parry? Will Leo reflect back Nagori to himself or May's whale back to her?
It has limited interaction with supermoves far as I know, and as for nagori no idea lol
About to go gorilla mode
DK music for a true gorilla
Lol I said this ten mins ago
Hey ! Just discovered ur channel, thx for the tips and could u give me the title of ur outro song ?
True lovemaking - capcom vs snk2
@@Rooflemonger Thx ur a bless
Dat soundtrack
could you do a Dust specific video. had trouble understanding its purpose and uses during beta
More guides when launch happens. Beta ends after tonight so basically I just don't got enough time. WIll be covered in full in every possible aspect come launch though no worries
In his back turned stance, can you also dust shield against lows? Or only highs and overheads?
Do you use a fight stick or a pad for this? I wanna get into the game but I don’t know if I should buy a fight stick
For this game specifically I use an arcade stick, that said however playing on pad is 100% equally as viable and valid. I default to arcade stick all things being equal cause im old and grew up in the arcades but thats about it.
This character is obnoxious cuz I always react to the crossup lunge like it's a lariat before my brain can remind me it's crossing up and then the one time I remember to look for crossup it gets done at a range that makes it same side and I get bopped again smh
If a Leo in backturn dashes through a Leo in backturn they should both just leave the stance since theyre facing each other again lol.
Does his " shield " counter zato's shadow atks?
Just defends against them is my understanding. So won't get hit, but its not like he can fling eddie back at zato
Alrighty then, if I see as far as one Leo while playing I'm using Axl out of spite. (Altho his damn projectile seems too good)
Rooflemonger, who's your favorite at this beta?
Potemkin for sure, he's 100% my kinda boy. That said come launch ill be exploring everyone and who knows where I will land
ook ook.
monke muzic
do axl if you haven't already plssss
More guides/showcases coming at launch. Beta ends after tonight so no more time to get footage. Don't worry there will be plenty more
Jiyuna was right
Was getting scrapped by this dude
*kid buu noises*
This guy always seems like dbfz the character to me
Chipp I guess would be the closest. Unless you mean like UI for ultra ignorance, then yeah leo fits the bill.
@@Rooflemonger yeah chipp too but very low health
Leo? More like Simian lmao
Leo doing blackface at the end??
Strive good
I've been making fun of all the vietnamese subtitles in every channel recently, but it's legitimately starting to become annoying
Sol, may, leo, gio, ram, imagine a tournament with only this characters, boring, like watching apes throwing shit at each other!
