How to Use
Notes on how Elena uses Leopard Snap — combo routes, pressure, whiff punishes — to be added.
How to Counter
Leopard Snap (236P→6LK) is Elena's rushing follow-up. The plain version is -5 on block, the boosted version (236PP→6LK) is +1. Treat the two states completely differently.
Recommended counters
After blocking the plain 236P→6LK
- Elena is -5 on block
- Characters with a 5F long-reach standing LK get a guaranteed punish combo here
- Don't burn cancel-rush — take the maximum raw punish for the best follow-up situation
- Elena also has slide, so play at a closer range where her tools become risky
After blocking the boosted 236PP→6LK
- Elena is +1, in walk-shimmy range
- Her low option is 2LK, but even on hit her 2LP doesn't reach (2MK is hard to hit-confirm and can be ignored)
- Walk-up throw whiffs if you walk back
- Walking back is the strongest defensive option here
The advanced answer for sharper Elenas
Walking back works against most Elenas, but a sharp Elena will start hit-confirming 2MK target combos against your back-walk.
- Mix in 4F back-walk → crouch-block → fuzzy attack
- The fuzzy attack covers the case where Elena whiffs a throw — you get a counter-punish
- Press the button on the timing you'd block her strike: strikes get blocked, whiffed throws eat the punish
The clip below records the following options after blocking 236PP→6LK:
- Tiny walk → throw
- 2LK → 2LP
- 2MK
