==Overview==
Sporting an array of fast, safe normals at close range and a wide variety of effective hitconfirms, Lee is an aggressive rushdown character who thrives in the opponent's face. In addition to his incredible frame data, Lee has access to an invincible stance and some deceptively long pokes that can allow him to force the opponent to whiff buttons and punish them with ease. Though he lacks a traditional set of zoning tools, Lee can more than make up for it by cheating his way around most common zoning methods with evasive hurtboxes and incredible mobility to ensure he finds an opportunity to begin his terrifying offense. If you're looking for a character with access to explosive robbery potential without giving up the option to patiently watch the opponent dig their own grave, Lee has you covered.

* Invincible stance forces opponents to play at your pace
* Hitconfirms off almost everything, ensuring that any stray hit leads to oki
* Safe and varied offense that can easily be reset for minimal risk
* Incredibly fast startup on mid-range pokes/counter-pokes
* Has access to the only truly invincible reversal in the game, letting him escape pressure at any time with a read
* High stun potential, turning his above average damage into potential 2-hit kill sequences
|
* Lacks notable disjoints
* No ways to safely build chip, often forcing Lee to take big risks after losing lifelead
* Over-reliance on whiff punishing in neutral, leading to dedicated zoners being able to keep him at bay with low recovery disjoints
* Unlike other power characters, Lee lacks any rebounding normals. This leads to him being abnormally easy to guard cancel against.

|description=A kick with a lot of range for its startup. Not advisable to throw out haphazardly as it will lose to many crouching normals and can be easily whiff punished, but if the opponent is in range this move will enable a wide array of frame traps. Generally your best button to escape pressure with, as it can confirm a hard knockdown consistently at range despite being tied as your fastest hitting normal.

*Apparently Lee needed the ability to Kara cancel normals. This move can be wiff canceled into B+C and 3C in speed/ex. In all modes it can wiff cancel into any special/dm/sdm (minus A+B dodge). Also if you use this in a chain combo in speed/ex as 5A>5B>5C and wiff cancel the 5B into 5C, the 5C that comes out can also be wiff cancelled.

*By pressing A+C simultaneously, Lee can cancel jumping normals into j.a, even from j.a itself! This works in speed/ex. Due to the numerous infinites and ludicrous pressure extensions this enables, using this technique is universally banned in tournaments and considered incredibly bad manners in casual matches.

|description=Serving as a rekka function that can be easily combo'd into, this move does a very solid chunk of damage while leading to a hard knockdown if all 3 phases are allowed to play out. The second portion of the rekka will cause a soft knockdown but keep the opponent very close, allowing for additional oki options. Incredibly unsafe on block and doesn't have very useful applications in neutral, so this move is relegated as a combo ender. Note that the first portion of the rekka hitting an air born opponent will not allow for the follow ups to be performed, making the move useless for juggles.

|description= Lee rises and swings his fans creating a fiery attack. Lee's go-to anti-air; this move has a massive hitbox, enables your setplay on hit, and comes with invincibility during its startup to boot. Has a follow up with 2B that will cause a knockdown so you can go for oki. Serves as one of the game's incredibly rare true reversals, as it will at worst trade with any meaty attempted at close range. Thanks to charge partitioning, it can even be buffered out of an AB stance.

Behaves strangely with the game's input priority due to command overlap with jump. When performed raw rather than being buffered, this move effectively becomes 6f startup with the first three frames being completely vulnerable as the move is unable to interrupt pre-jump frames. To work around this, one can attempt the input [2]B8. If 8 is input the frame after B is pressed the game will register a successful flash kick before entering pre-jump, making the move function as intended with 3f startup and instant invulnerability.

If Lee is crossed up at any point during the dodge, it will be canceled and Lee will instantly turn to face his opponent, granting him some nasty crossup potential in a large number of oki situations. The initial dodge can also be cancelled into any of Lee’s specials (except another dodge), dm, fandangos, or Sdm. Any follow up or special used out of dodge will start their animation after 10 frames of the dodge at fastest. Active frames listed are the amount of frames Lee is invincible without any additional input.  
* A follow up is a long ranged mid that doesn't lead to much on hit but can interrupt opponents trying to set up from just beyond the range of your other options, and is difficult to punish on block when spaced. Confirms SDM at max range in power/EX, giving it some niche uses as a damaging counter-poke.

* B follow up is an overhead axe kick which comes out too quickly to react to and launches the opponent slighly, enabling a tech chase. Lee is fully invincible from the legs down and treated as airborn until he recovers. If delayed slightly, becomes a true 50/50 alongside the C follow up. Requires a switch guard to punish, and even then it's character specific, so this move is relatively safe to throw out.

Requires a switch guard to punish, and even then it's character specific, so this move is relatively safe to throw out.
* C follow up is a low kick which can be chained into itself up to 3 times by inputting 2C, and until the 3rd hit may be special canceled (most notably into 214C). The first hit possesses a very deceptive hurtbox giving it great effective priority. Also chains into a unique multihit overhead with 6C which can be combo'd off of from close range, however this can be both option selected and reacted to so this is mostly a gimmick. If you stop at the first hit you can link a 2C for a bnb combo

If you stop at the first hit you can link a 2C or 5B
* D follow up has Lee swat the space immediately in front of him, reflecting projectiles. Not especially useful since the stance itself is both less committal and mathematically better at dealing with most fireballs, however this does have some niche use cases if you need to react to a fireball after already entering the stance. Also has enough frame advantage on hit you can link 2C after to start a bnb

Overall this move has a myriad of uses, but primarily can be used to apply additional pressure against an opponent without opening yourself up to deflects by abusing the invincibility and pre-canned high/low mix, or used to dominate neutral by phasing through the opponent's pokes and whiff punishing them with the A or B follow ups as you see fit. Note, however, that the stance itself is not throw invincible and can leave you wide open against characters with damaging command grabs.

If you can combo this in a way that makes the initial 63214B pop the opponent in the air you can juggle with dm for a chunk of damage. This happens more often against crouching opponents, more research is needed.  
*Has a fair amount of stun value attached to it, and one of the only moves in game that can stun an opponent in an actual match if playing Lee in Ex mode.

Lee-recca121.gif

Overview

Sporting an array of fast, safe normals at close range and a wide variety of effective hitconfirms, Lee is an aggressive rushdown character who thrives in the opponent's face. In addition to his incredible frame data, Lee has access to an invincible stance and some deceptively long pokes that can allow him to force the opponent to whiff buttons and punish them with ease. Though he lacks a traditional set of zoning tools, Lee can more than make up for it by cheating his way around most common zoning methods with evasive hurtboxes and incredible mobility to ensure he finds an opportunity to begin his terrifying offense. If you're looking for a character with access to explosive robbery potential without giving up the option to patiently watch the opponent dig their own grave, Lee has you covered.

Style Strengths Weaknesses
Power
  • Invincible stance forces opponents to play at your pace
  • Hitconfirms off almost everything, ensuring that any stray hit leads to oki
  • Safe and varied offense that can easily be reset for minimal risk
  • Incredibly fast startup on mid-range pokes/counter-pokes
  • Has access to the only truly invincible reversal in the game, letting him escape pressure at any time with a read
  • High stun potential, turning his above average damage into potential 2-hit kill sequences
  • Lacks notable disjoints
  • No ways to safely build chip, often forcing Lee to take big risks after losing lifelead
  • Over-reliance on whiff punishing in neutral, leading to dedicated zoners being able to keep him at bay with low recovery disjoints
  • Unlike other power characters, Lee lacks any rebounding normals. This leads to him being abnormally easy to guard cancel against.
Speed
  • Invincible stance forces opponents to play at your pace
  • Even better hitconfirms than power mode, letting most hits lead to full combo
  • Safe and varied offense that can easily be reset for minimal risk, uniquely accentuated by air chains
  • Incredibly fast startup on mid-range pokes/counter-pokes, often boasting whiff cancels for good measure
  • Has access to the only truly invincible reversal in the game, letting him escape pressure at any time with a read
  • Lacks notable disjoints, and loses trades easily
  • No ways to safely build chip, often forcing Lee to take big risks after losing lifelead
  • Over-reliance on whiff punishing in neutral, leading to dedicated zoners being able to keep him at bay with low recovery disjoints
EX
  • Same strengths as speed, with slightly higher damage output and access to his phenomenal SDM
  • Same weaknesses as speed
  • Defense penalty makes trades even worse

A quick and active jab, but is still slower than a number of your other normals. Advances slightly, making chains off it a bit more consistent.

A fast jab that's safe on block even when switch guarded. Leads to full combo and whiffs very quickly, making it a useful button to throw out at closer ranges. Lacks any sort of disjoint, so this button will almost always get beaten at midrange.

Power 26/3 3 1 21 Any +1/-14 - M o/o Air
Speed 16/0 3 1 21 Any +1/-14 - M o/o Air

A kick with a lot of range for its startup. Not advisable to throw out haphazardly as it will lose to many crouching normals and can be easily whiff punished, but if the opponent is in range this move will enable a wide array of frame traps. Generally your best button to escape pressure with, as it can confirm a hard knockdown consistently at range despite being tied as your fastest hitting normal.

  • Apparently Lee needed the ability to Kara cancel normals. This move can be wiff canceled into B+C and 3C in speed/ex. In all modes it can wiff cancel into any special/dm/sdm (minus A+B dodge). Also if you use this in a chain combo in speed/ex as 5A>5B>5C and wiff cancel the 5B into 5C, the 5C that comes out can also be wiff cancelled.

A damaging multihit with a fair amount of range. While unsafe on block and minus on hit, this move can catch opponents pushing risky buttons and still leave you in a good spot thanks to Lee's incredible frame data.

Hits OTG. Provides more frame advantage and better spacing compared to 8c, while also being consistently safe on hit in all matchups. As such it's often your preferred otg from rekka unless you're optimizing damage to end the round. Combos in speed/ex in a chain after standing B if you wanted to do that for some reason

A decently ranged kick that leads to wallbounce on hit. Special cancelable in power, and by far your most consistent super confirm as it launches. To use it in chain combos you need to input it as 9C after a B attack (due to lee’s extra attacks tied to the C button)

Lee homes in on the opponent and hits OTG. Leaves you in a good spot to set up oki from longer ranges on the screen, making it your go-to off throw. Also your highest damage OTG, making it best for closing the round. At closer ranges it becomes unsafe on hit in some matchups, as such it should be used with some caution against a knowledgeable opponent.

One of the most active jumping normals in the game. Sees sparing use due to a stubby hitbox and being generally outclassed by j.C.

  • By pressing A+C simultaneously, Lee can cancel jumping normals into j.a, even from j.a itself! This works in speed/ex. Due to the numerous infinites and ludicrous pressure extensions this enables, using this technique is universally banned in tournaments and considered incredibly bad manners in casual matches.

A multihit jump in. Both hits have fairly low priority, and are prone to uncombo unless you're jumping in. The high damage on the second hit can make this move a viable stun conversion in power. Realistically one of the hits is going to whiff on a crouching opponent, however its status as a double overhead can make it an effective fuzzy guard crush. 2nd hit box can cross up.

One of Lee's best buttons. This move comes out quickly, has a ton of active frames, a deceptively high priority hitbox, and can even be canceled on hit for massive damage off an air-to-air. Typically worth throwing out any time you're in the air and not actively baiting deflects, as it can often both serve as an air-to-air while also forcing the opponent to block if they fail to anti-air in time.

Lee can chain on whiff and this is a good hitbox, might have some unexplored applications in neutral?

Serving as a rekka function that can be easily combo'd into, this move does a very solid chunk of damage while leading to a hard knockdown if all 3 phases are allowed to play out. The second portion of the rekka will cause a soft knockdown but keep the opponent very close, allowing for additional oki options. Incredibly unsafe on block and doesn't have very useful applications in neutral, so this move is relegated as a combo ender. Note that the first portion of the rekka hitting an air born opponent will not allow for the follow ups to be performed, making the move useless for juggles in most cases. An exception to this is canceling a 6C in power mode, if the first hit whiffs but the rest connect it can juggle.

Essentially an air version of Lee's rekka, it does a very high amount of damage for an air-to-air and leads to a soft knockdown. Incredibly strong to buffer out of any air-to-air attempt, but will commonly whiff on grounded opponents and is wildly unsafe on block. Unlike the grounded version, the follow up can be performed on air hit.

Lee rises and swings his fans creating a fiery attack. Lee's go-to anti-air; this move has a massive hitbox, enables your setplay on hit, and comes with invincibility during its startup to boot. Has a follow up with 2B that will cause a knockdown so you can go for oki. Serves as one of the game's incredibly rare true reversals, as it will at worst trade with any meaty attempted at close range. Thanks to charge partitioning and a relatively short charge time it can even be buffered out of an AB stance or a dash

Behaves strangely with the game's input priority due to command overlap with jump. When performed raw rather than being buffered, this move effectively becomes 6f startup with the first three frames being completely vulnerable as the move is unable to interrupt pre-jump frames. To work around this, one can attempt the input [2]B8. If 8 is input the frame after B is pressed the game will register a successful flash kick before entering pre-jump, making the move function as intended with 3f startup and instant invulnerability.

N/A 3 20 - - N/A 0 N/A - -

A strike and projectile invincible stance with 4 unique options out of it, performed simply by tapping a button. If Lee is crossed up at any point during the dodge, it will be canceled and Lee will instantly turn to face his opponent, granting him some nasty crossup potential in a large number of oki situations. The initial dodge can also be cancelled into any of Lee’s specials (except another dodge), dm, fandangos, or Sdm. Any follow up or special used out of dodge will start their animation after 10 frames of the dodge at fastest. Active frames listed are the amount of frames Lee is invincible without any additional input.

  • A follow up is a long ranged mid that is special cancelable, can interrupt opponents trying to set up from just beyond the range of your other options, and is difficult to punish on block when spaced. Confirms SDM at max range in power/EX, giving it some niche uses as a damaging counter-poke.
  • B follow up is an overhead axe kick which comes out too quickly to react to at 7f and launches the opponent slightly, enabling a tech chase. Lee is fully invincible from the legs down and treated as airborn until he recovers. If delayed slightly, becomes a true 50/50 alongside the C follow up. Requires a switch guard to punish, and even then it's character specific, so this move is relatively safe to throw out.
  • C follow up is a low kick which can be chained into itself up to 3 times by inputting 2C, and until the 3rd hit may be special canceled (most notably into 214C). The first hit possesses a very deceptive hurtbox giving it great effective priority. Also chains into a unique multihit overhead with 6C which can be combo'd off of from close range, however this can be both option selected and reacted to so this is mostly a gimmick. If you stop at the first hit you can link a 2C or 5B
  • D follow up has Lee swat the space immediately in front of him, reflecting projectiles. Not especially useful since the stance itself is both less committal and mathematically better at dealing with most fireballs, however this does have some niche use cases if you need to react to a fireball after already entering the stance. Also has enough frame advantage on hit you can link 2C or 5B after to start a bnb

Overall this move has a myriad of uses, but primarily can be used to apply additional pressure against an opponent without opening yourself up to deflects by abusing the invincibility and pre-canned high/low mix, or used to dominate neutral by phasing through the opponent's pokes and whiff punishing them with the A or B follow ups as you see fit. Note, however, that the stance itself is not throw invincible and can leave you wide open against characters with damaging command grabs.

Additionally, the second part of the move is unsafe on hit. Both hits are super cancelable, though nothing will connect on hit after the second. Launches crouching opponents on the first hit, allowing for juggles into 2146AB.

A divekick that moves very quickly after an airstall, resulting in a series of multi-hitting kicks upon making contact with the opponent. Serves as a double overhead or a decent option to catch pokes after hopping back. Safe on block at specific spacings, and leads to combo on hit if Lee lands right after one of the kicks. Can find a lot of use as a mobility option to punish reckless anti-air attempts or to avoid some projectile tech chases. Be warned that this move has a distinct audio que and a lot of landing recovery, so it is incredibly easy to punish if it whiffs near the opponent.

Rather than a proper taunt, Lee begins charging his ki and slowly regains life. Can be held for longer by holding start. Not particularly practical since it will pretty much instantly make you lose neutral if used outside of a hard knockdown, and using it in place of oki would be ignoring Lee's godlike setplay which is often too high of an opportunity cost unless the extra life will allow you to run the clock. Has virtually unlimited armor, but also has lengthy recovery while every hit taken will be treated as a counterhit during the taunt.

Lee swings his fan into the air, staggering the opponent, before rushing forwards for a massive amount of damage. Your go-to metered combo ender as it does a massive amount of damage that scales very well and leads into HKD. If the first hit hits a grounded opponent, the stagger can be mashed out of, causing the second hit to uncombo or get blocked/deflected. As such, it is heavily advised to juggle into 2146AB from 6C since the series is a true combo as a juggle.

Lee quickly dashes forwards, playing a cinematic upon hitting the opponent. Does a massive amount of damage whether combo'd into or landed raw. Travels surprisingly quickly across the screen (14f from one corner to the other), letting you catch the startup of most fireballs or punish many long ranged pokes on reaction. Serves as a consistent combo ender against grounded opponents as well, since unlike 21416AB it can't be mashed out of. Drags both players back to midscreen on hit, regardless of where the super landed, while also generating a very advantageous hard knockdown. This allows Lee to create some incredibly powerful oki by running through the opponent and canceling into dodge for potential 5 way mixups. Notably knocks the opponent face down and allows OTG 5C, allowing Lee to lock the Kaede's out of their recovery rolls. Cannot be juggled into, and you need to be fairly close to have it combo from normals.

Combos

Any Mode

  • jB/C, 2C, 2C, 2C, 5B xx 214C (x3), 8C/5C
Primary BNB.
  • jB/C, 2C, 2C, 2C, 5B xx 63214A
Variant of the above combo which can stun the opponent if used immediately after said combo (using 5c OTG). If 63214A fails to stun it will become unsafe on hit
  • jB, 4A 6, 4A 6, 2C, 2C, 5B xx 214C(x3), 5c xx 63214A(whiff)
Optimized BNB. Builds a full bar of meter in power mode if both hits of jB connect
  • jC xx 214C (x2)
Lee's go-to air-to-air. Grants a knockdown which is a rare trait for an air-to-air.
Also serves as a reliable anti-air deflect conversion without fandango and air to air deflect conversion. Side note [2]8B > 2B does slightly more damage in that situation, but may not always work depending on distance when you deflect, this one is very easy and reliable.
  • AB > 5A xx 214C (x3), 8C/5C
Simple confirm from ab>a
  • AB > 5A xx 63214B xx 41236B
41236B requires to be executed when the 63214B crosses up the opponent in order to get the follow up. Unsafe on hit.
  • AB > C > 2C xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
A bit of timing is required here to combo the 2C follow up into 214C. Works at all ranges of AB>C
  • AB > C, 5B xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
Optimized version of the combo above. Relatively safe in comparison making the link worthwhile.
  • AB > C, 2C, 5B xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
Higher damage version of the combo above which will only work at point blank. Delay the 2C input to get the regular normal instead of AB>C's chain.
  • AB > D, 2C, 5B 214Cx3, 8C/5C
  • (AB>C)>6C, 2B xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
Corner only. Note that AB>C>6C does not combo.
  • Dash A/B xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
  • j236C(min. 2 hits) xx [2]8B > 2B, 8C/5C
A buffered follow up from divekick that will connect even when used as an instant overhead. Prone to uncombo midscreen
  • jB/C xx j236C(min. 2 hits), 5B xx 214C(x3), 8C/5C
A tight link which is only possible at certain heights of j.236C. Lee must land immediately after one of the divekick's hits connect.
  • 6C, (hop) jB/C xx 214C(x2)
Can occasionally drop based on the matchup and camera position when 6c hit, but will still allow for OTG 5c in those cases. Microdashing before the hop can improve consistency midscreen, and Speed/EX can use j.A>C instead
  • (4a 6)xN
Lee's jab "infinite". Incredibly tight and prone to drop after a few dozen hits, making more than 2 or 3 reps for the sake of hitconfirming impractical. 4a easily links into 2c, allowing you to cash out into your normal routes.
Most tournaments will provide a hard limit on infinites, which includes this one.

Power Mode Only

  • jB/C, 6C xx 2146AB
6C xx 2146AB can work midscreen, however is prone to drop due to camera position. In the corner the sequence is more consistent and significantly higher damage
  • 4A, 4A, 6C xx 2146AB
hitconfirm into dm
  • 6C 63214A (whiff) [2]8B j2B otg 5C.
Stylish midscreen 6C combo from most distances. Skip the 63214A in the corner.
  • 2Cx3, 5B 63214B 2146AB
Dm confirm vs crouching opponents, most effective in a corner. If you start with a jump in in the corner this can hit the damage cap on anyone.

EX Mode Only

  • Dash A/B>5B>2C>2C xx 63214A xx 2146AB
2146AB can be mashed out of, making it unsafe on hit.
  • 2C(x3), 5A>A>B>2C>2C xx 2146B
SDM confirm.
  • 2Cx3, 5A>A>B>2C>2C xx 63214B xx 2146AB
Super confirm against crouching opponents. 63214B pops crouching opponents in the air making the dm juggle. In a corner this is more damaging, mid screen you need to delay the dm a bit so the fan juggles, but this isn’t really worth it midscreen unless it will absolutely kill or you’re in desperation.

Power and EX Mode

  • jB/C, 2C, 2C, 2C, 5B xx 63214A xx 21416AB
Gimmicky super confirm. The first hit of 2146AB can be mashed out of, making the move unsafe on hit.
  • AB>5A xx 63214A xx 2416AB
Another gimmick from AB>5A
  • AB>5A xx 2146B
SDM confirm from AB>A. By inputting the motion early and pressing B on reaction, one can hitconfirm the SDM to avoid wasting meter.
  • jC, 2C, 5B xx 21416B
 SDM confirm. The cancel from 5b is tight, it is recommended to use the input 214B6B after 2C in order to land the cancel more consistently.
  • 4A/2C, 2C, 2C, 5A xx 2146B
 Max range sdm confirm in power. 
  • AB>2C, 5B xx 21416B

Speed and EX Mode

  • BC 63214B
  • BC J.A>C j.214C(x2)
  • Dash A/B >B>2C>2C xx 214C(x3)
  • Dash A/B >B>2C>2C xx 21416AB
2146AB can be mashed out of, however the lack of super freeze in this route makes it incredibly difficult and opens the opponent up to resets
  • 4A>A>A>B>9C J.A>B>C xx j.214C(x2)
Corner only. Can also link [2]8B after the wall bounce
  • 2Cx3 5A>A>B>2C>2C xx 214Cx3/[2]8B
  • 2Cx3 5B>2C>2C xx 214Cx3/[2]8B
bnb combos. 5A is a tighter link than 5B after 2C, though it does net some more damage. Use whichever is easier for you.
  • 22A/B, A + B + C + 2C + A + 2C + 6BC, 63214A(whiff) [2]8B
Midscreen only. Can also do jA>B>C xx j214C(x2) to end this after the 63214A whiff
  • 22A/B , A + B + C + 2C + A + 2C + 6BC, [2]8B, [2]8B
Corner only, tricky to pull off
  • 22A/B, A + B + C + 2C + A + 2C + 6BC, 2146AB
Time it so the fan hits on the way up for better damage in the corner. Requires desperation status
