Gameplay Notes
Duo Lon is one of the more versatile players in the XIII roster. His gameplay revolves around his pokes, fast mix up with Rekkas (Suteki Juryu, qcf+P x3), and his teleports. With the introduction of Ex specials in XIII, his (air) f+A and (air) f+B command/special attack become very useful for setting up mixups. He's typically a rush down character but at the same time he can zone his opponent well with his f+A ground and air version. His f+B also prevents opponents from turtling him from a far.
Despite having overall a low damage output and losing his other variation of Rekkas from '03 and XI he's still a very capable silent assasin like his official nickname suggests.

Strategies
Far
Duo Lon does not have too many tools to play with in this range, but if the opponent is not going to hyper jump in Duo Lon can use his qcb+P projectile as tool to advance in or simply just to see what the opponent does. Although it has incredibly bad start up, once out, the qcb+P (particularly the C version) lingers for quite some time allowing Duo Lon to chase after it allowing for some good pressure strategies. If they jump at Duo Lon, hop f+A will poke out any jumper due to it's range. If they don't do anything, annoy your opponent with qcb K~f+B and poke him/her out. It's a good habit to cancel the f+B off the back teleport just in case the opponent jumps in as well to keep good distance away from them. If they are advancing too much for comfort, jump back air.f+B and air.f+A does wonders.
Mid range
This is where Duo Lon is most comfortable at. Despite Duo Lon having a good rushdown game, he excels at this distance because of his mix ups and but mainly because his only true special , rekkas, are punishable on block.
Duo Lon can continue to annoy his opponent with qcb~f+B pokes but now you can add f+A in front of it making a cool 2-hit combo and if he makes the f+B the Ex version, it'll set him up for a DM juggle or more mix up. After the Ex f+K from full screen, it'll knock the opponent towards you. Use f+A and cancel into his qcf B to land in front of them, or his qcf D to land behind them to add more pressure or simply do his DM.
If he canceled the Ex f+B off of the f+A (...f+A, qcb+K, f+BD), then you're close enough to do: i)DM ii)j.CD into Ex f.A, which blows a stock but allows you dash underneath the opponent for a mix (and he then can either teleport back or go for a crossup D) iii) a little less effective but j.CD --> land qcb+C, qcf D and as long as the opponent does not tech the j.CD knockdown, the projectile should reach them just as they're getting up and Duo Lon should be on the other side to add more pressure iv) hop C, hyper hop j.D which should just cross them up (http://youtu.be/PndqRE10eFw?t=1m58s) v)dash underneath and do a s.A on the other side then hop B-->air f.B (http://youtu.be/PndqRE10eFw?t=2m5s)
Apparently in v1.1, if the opponent has their back turned (qcf x3, qcf B, s.A --> opponent's back turned or Ex f+K, dash underneath, s.A -->back turned) there's a small 1-2 frame window where the opponent is landing and is changing direction where the hop B --> air f.B is incredibly hard to block according to reports from Japanese players, some reports say on certain opponents it may even be unblockable but this has not be confirmed. Although it takes some practice, hop B (press it as early as possible) --> f.B (cancel it as late as possible) stun them long enough for a ground combo making Duo Lon's mix up even more deadly.
However, do not get too predictable as the opponent is in range for them to punish Duo Lon with a jump in if the f+A is mistimed. If they jump in on Duo Lon, an early d.C (it does have a slower start up than it looks so be careful) is a good anti air canceled into qcb+A (which is still punishable so keep that in mind) or a qcf+B teleport or dash in d.B. Duo Lon's jump C is a great air-to-air and his jump D is a grat air-ground attack so use them accordingly.
