Leo is mad good right now because Leo is simple. At least that's what I think. Keep in mind that the current meta, despite the game technically having been around for well over a year now, is very young. The people that developed the meta have been tourney players exclusively. What they really love is a simple and effective character. The specialist that comes along with a complicated character they mastered doesn't exist yet.
The crux of being simple is being transparent. Leo gets much worse when there are no walls around. Still strong but suffers most from a lack of them.
The closest thing to a tier list is this. Bear in mind that it's judged by Nips, who are second-rate pros when it comes to Tekken, and that it's a judgement from the arcade version without considering the patches for PC and potatoes.
Either way, tiers are very close to each other. The things most people agree on is that King and Steve are fucking amazing and that Lucky Cloe is pretty shit.
The list above isn't even complete. I can't see Lee on it, for example. Checked him out in practise earlier and he's pretty complicated with many moves requiring strict timing. But he seems really damn powerful.
I guess that's really the joke with T7; almost every character feels pretty powerful and capable. You're hard pressed to go through a chars move list and think they suck.
