This is a playthrough using King Leo / Shin Shishioh in the Arcade version of Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle. Read on below for more information...
King Leo is the penultimate boss of the game. He is an unlockable playable character.
===== HOW TO SELECT KING LEO =====
1) On the character select screen, highlight Mezu, and press Left, Up, Right, Left, Down, Right x 4, Up, Left x 3. Now press the Tag button. You'll hear Jyazu's laugh, confirming that it has worked.
2) You can now select King Leo by highlighting King Lion and pressing Up.
This also unlocks Jyazu as well. To select Jyazu, highlight Gozu and press Up.
Both King Leo and Jyazu fight as lone single characters, meaning that they cannot be used in Tag Teams. Both have no ending.
===== ABOUT KING LEO =====
King Leo, or The Real King Lion, is a legendary fighter who became bored of the fighting circuit and quietly disappeared from the scene. When he returned to the public, he decided to host and sponsor a tournament called the Battle of the Beast God in order to prove his own strength to worthy opponents.
For the tournament, he has implemented an "imposter" version of himself named King Lion for the purpose of testing out his challengers to see if they are worthy enough to face him.
King Leo was unstoppable until he was defeated by Hayate, and later by Jyazu.
===== GAMEPLAY =====
His story of using an imposter is somewhat cheesy (in the good way of course)... but we all know that it's an excuse to have a more powerful version of an existing regular character to be implemented as a boss character so that they didn't have to create an entirely new character. =)
Anyway... he is basically the more powerful version of King Lion with different colour palettes. He has better versions of Lion's special moves, as well as the following additional moves:
---- The Hunter Killer special move where he thrusts forward with a flying kick, which another kick is added on if it connects. It's overpowered and is probably his best move.
---- The King Upper desperation move, where he produces three powerful charging uppercuts.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
---- His voice is different to King Lion's. He has a distinct English accent when shouting his special/super move names, while Lion has a "Japanese accent" when doing the same.
---- His basic Heavy strikes emit electricity and shocks the opponent if it hits (unblocked), something that Lion does not have.
---- His character select and lifebar icon image is different to King Lion's one.
---- As mentioned earlier, you can only use him as a lone single character, just like the CPU King Leo near the end of the game.
---- He does not appear to have an ending for when you beat the game with him.
---- His BGM theme seems to be the same one as used in Savage Reign.
---- Both Lion and Leo make an appearance in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum.
---- He makes a cameo appearance in KOF: Maximum Impact 2.
