Given the current Discourse I have decided to put together a list of changes for Leo that I think would be healthy for him and bump him down to ~mid tier. I've tried to include reasoning, but I'll be happy to discuss 'why didn't you do xyz' too.

Leo MU chart! I still have a few I'm not *fully* confident in, but I'm pretty sure this is close to the truth. This character is pretty good!
If there are any disagreements I will happily talk them out in the comments.

Data dump! After listening to people complain about their mash buttons in GGST, I spent the evening comparing their ranges so everyone can downplay properly. These two charts list every character's longest 5F mash. The difference between the two...
...is for Nago, Ram, Leo, and Pot, who have shorter sections on their 5Ps that hit crouchers where the hitbox further out will not.
I did this by simply screenshotting each mash at roundstart and then layering them over each other to compare. If you want a specific image, let me know. Also, the full data for every single 5F or 4F mash is here, if you want to see the data for nerds.

13th at Frosties. It feels surreal - I never expected to get this far in any major, let alone my first. Despite massive controller issues the week before, and Air Canada kind of fucking me over on my way here, I showed up and played by far the best Strive I have ever played.
I finally finished my Leo combo video for season 4 (after having to rerecord over half of it due to damage changes). If you play Leo you should check it out!

I made a list of Leo's combo damages before and after the patch. This was mostly for my own sake, but I figured some other people might be interested. A few of my insights from this are in a reply, below.

Optimal combos didn't really change, but in some cases moonwalks do identical damage to other combos; their primary benefit is now the corner carry. j.S routes are relatively much stronger now, as they do not involve backturn normals at all.
