Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors/Leon/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

Leon is a swordsman with the power to imbue electricity into the twin blades he wields.

An arrogant and narcissistic knight who comes from the same noble yet reclusive kingdom as Lightning, Leon is ordered by his king to investigate the mystery of the lost continent.

Leon plays similarly to Lightning in Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty and is a defensive charge character with long reaching normals. He alternates between his shortsword for quick up-close attacks and his longsword at range, combining their use for his most iconic moves.
