-  Well I'll put it simply....I've been working on getting a Virtua Fighter 5
  walkthrough up as a means of my "coming out of retirement" kinda deal.  Well
  I'm still hard at work with it, but I figured as much that I should at least
  put out there some character walkthroughs as well.  I was planning on doing
  this in the first place once I got the full walkthrough up, but I figured
  what the hell....lets do it now.  So with that being said I'm here to give
  you all this guide on Lion.

-  As with every other guide that I've wrote, this guide is my own property!  I
  happily made this for all to enjoy and to use, and all that I ask is that if
  you are planning on using this for your site, then just ask me for permission
  ok.  I'm really easy to get along with and generally don't mind it so long as
  you ask for my permission first.  Don't go thinking "Oh he'll never say ok,
  lets just rip the guide and post it anyways" because that's a flawed way of
  thinking.  Just give it a shot sometime and you may be surprised!  My e-mail
  box is always open!

-  A big reminder to everyone out there....if you're looking for updates to this
  guide, then head on over to www.gamefaqs.com.  I write for that site and that
  site only.....or at least, that's where the guide's origins are.  Any update
  that I do will hit there.  I don't really plan on keeping up with how many
  other hundreds of sites have my guides up for their use and have to go and
  update it on their site as well, so save yourself some trouble and headache
  and check my guide out at GameFAQs ok.  I really don't want to deal with a
  million e-mails asking me about updates and info and such when I'm telling
  you now what to do.

-  Backstory  -

-  At the end of the Fourth World Fighting Tournament, Lion returned home.  He
  had not been able to win the tournament, but was satisfied with his
  performance and fighting.  His father congratulated him as well, and it
  seemed that his life would continue without incident.  But one day, Lion
  stumbled on the documents that seemed to link his father's company to J6.
  Lion threw himself into his training, trying to forget his suspicions.  Just
  when he could no longer stand to keep quiet, an invitation arrived for the
  Fifth World Fighting Tournament.  Somewhat bothered by the timing of the
  invitation arrival, Lion decides to enter the tournament, in part to learn
  about his father's involvement with J6.

-  Personal Opinion -

-  Ok....here's basically my take on Lion:

  Well if you're the type that loves to cheese your way out of matches, then
  look no further for your character.  Lion offers up some of the sneakiest
  moves that I've ever seen from a fighting character in any game.  First off
  you have a blazing speed advantage with him, which works extremely well with
  the kind of moves that you'll be performing with him.  Secondly he has a
  tight game of making you guess where he'll strike.  What sometimes may look
  like he's about to go for a high attack to the head, it turns out that he
  is really aiming for your legs with a low attack.  It's more annoying trying
  to figure out how to put up a solid defense against this guy, than it is
  trying to learn how to use him.  Lion can be summed up as a middle tier
  character that you'd want to use.  Give yourself some time to learn alittle
  bit of the game, and get a feel for it before moving on to Lion.  This is
  because his style, while relatively simple in theory, requires you to set up
  opponents more so for deep combo punishment rather than going on blitz
  offensives.  Now you can easily enough go for blitz's with Lion, but the
  majority of them will be low attacks that have great range.  The down side
  you ask?  Well people will eventually catch on to the low game that you're
  playing and then you're screwed if you don't have anything else that you
  can do in terms of being flexible with him.  Lion does offer up a nice set
  countering that does help him to lead into his better combos and big damage
  pay outs, but once again....it's all a matter of being patient with him.  It
  can be easy to get overly excited with Lion since his character is all about
  speed and quick attacks, making yourself cocky enough to want to lash out
  alot at opponents.  But this is a newb's mistake.  Like I said, Lion is best
  handled by players after they've put some time into the game to learn it
  alittle bit and get a feel for things.  If you can master using Lion to
  luring opponents to doing what you want them to do when you want them to do
  it, then people will soon start to hate you like it isn't even funny.  Use
  his low attacks sparringly to say the least so you don't show a pattern that
  your opponents can use against you.  Lion isn't built to take a huge beating
  ya know!  All in all though, if you want to use a smart alecky, fast-paced,
  stylish, and dangerous character, then you've got that and more in Lion!

  Ahhhh....the final chapter of this glorious guide of mine....to think I
  finally made it this far.  This part though isn't written entirely by me...
  This part is written by all of you!  That's right....no matter what I say or
  do to tell you things about characters or explaining their ins and outs,
  everyone has their own style and their own way doing things with each
  character.  In that respect I give to all of you this section.  E-mail in
  your tips, tricks, and fighting techs that you find to be useful for the
  given character in the given situation you're in.  The only way this
  section can get bigger, is by all of you, so flood my e-mail box ok!  I know
  it's at the top, but for convienence my e-mail is:

  [email protected]

  I will give full credit to you that send in your tips and tricks, so be a pal
  and help out those around you by contributing to this guide!

(Credits)

-  First and foremost I give credit to Sega for coming out with one kick ass
  fighter.  I've never been so jaw dropped before by a fighting game with all
  that it shows off.  I'm still going strong with it, so I think I'm now
  turning into a Virtua Fighter fan!  Way to go Sega, by making an addictive
  game like this!

-  Secondly I'd like to give creds to all of those out there that asked for me
  to come back and make more walkthroughs.  You have no clue how much I missed
  doing these, and just because I'm in the Marines, doesn't mean I have to
  retire from walkthrough writing!  Thank you for all the support and e-mails
  that all of you have sent telling me how good my past walkthroughs were and
  that you all wanted to see more.  Without the support, I think the drive and
  the love for walkthrough writing would of left me a long time ago.

-  If there's anything that you wish to add or correct in my walkthrough, then
  by all means, shoot me an e-mail at [email protected].  I'll take
  your comments and concerns seriously and get back to you as fast as I can.
  You will be given the proper credit as well for contributing to my guide.

  Thanks again, and I'll sees yas all later!
