Leonardo Silva breakdown further explanation in the comments

So leonardo is actually a pretty impressive fighter with grappling that is far above koga’s and he actually gave koga a solid fight despite his injury, durability wise he’s pretty damn impressive taking some pretty brutal punishment before losing. He has impressive submissions and striking defence, great takedowns and can actually do some damage on his feet. Koga feels it’s necessary to overused iron breaker to beat him

Edit: just to clear something up. this is my bad and I should of made it more clear but I’m focusing on each characters positives I could argue leonardo down to like C tier or up to top of B, but that’s not really the point it’s just to show ya these guys are all really strong even if they don’t look strong to us

Leo was very impressive. He was destined to lose but in other situations he would have gone far. I feel he is a KAT worthy contestant. Superb grappling, shockingly good durability, great at parrying especially to make up for his lack of striking , and solid takedown approach. Hopefully he isn’t a forgotten character and we get to see him fight once more.

"Hong is an impressive character" idk about this one chief, Hongs only feats before this were getting his ass handed to him by Agito, getting his ass handed to him by Rei and defeating some random wrestler.

You know I just realized what a rather BS moment it is Koga using "Ironbreaker" to escape and then also in his finisher.

When the entire setup to him getting caught in the hold was due to overusing Ironbreaker (with constant output rather than intermittent activation) causing his muscles to seize.

Just seems lazy to have him suddenly able to use that ability again seconds latter (in an even more extreme form) after very clearly showing/stating him having pushed that same ability too far.

Oh ya if anyone wants me to make one of these for any character just ask because I won’t do them unless they lose a fight from this point on

Obviously I can’t do featless guys like nezu but ya

I mean I like his fighting style, but he spent most of this fight on the defensive. The chokehold really seemed like his one last desperate attempt at victory, best place I can put him is mid-B tier.

So Sandro really protected Koga with a plot armor instead of letting Koga slept into comatose, he pulled some nasty stuff from his ass and let Koga smelt it, HURRAAH Koga magically escaped a very very tight RNC that he almost slept, when smelling Sandro's ass you magically gain more oxygen to your brain that's why Koga didn't slept.
