Leo option select on reversals
Plinking bt.K, bt.S, bt.D in a specific rhythm while in backturn stance lets Leo option select certain reversals.
Explanation on hit: bt.K can gatling into bt.S on hit, but since bt.D is pressed before bt.S comes out, the kahn shield will not properly gatling from bt.S. letting you continue pressure as normal.
Explanation on wiff: since K does not hit the opponent, bt.S does not gatling. However, since bt.K has such a small amount of endlag (6F), your kahn shield is pressed after endlag.
The only scenarios where bt.K will wiff are reversals and dashback. Dashback will cause you to shield in their face and give them plenty of time to punish you.
