I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Leo had started with Joker, or switched after Game 1. He was turning up and keeping it super close with Joker, but he had 0 wiggle room because he lost his first two games right out of the gate. Still, that was all ESAM's skill. Definitely showing that he's still a huge force to be reckoned with.

Well, the problem is Byleth is extremely dangerous to fight off stage, her tether will gimp you if she catches you. Along with her side B, which gives her plenty protection. Few characters have a recovery/speed good enough to get in and out to punish Byleth off stage. Hence why no top players challenge MKleo off stage with byleth. Pikachu just happens to have the best recovery for doing like that.

I completely agree with the commentators regarding the characters and tiers. Ike wasn't top tier, yet Leo destroyed people with Ike. Byleth isn't top tier, but Leo makes the character look high tier.

I always found MKLeo to be such an interesting person to watch because he’s not super flashy but his fundamentals are damn near impeccable. His spacing, positioning and timing are so good, it makes sense he plays byleth.

5:21 I checked ultimate frame data as to why this bair on this edgeguard sequence didn't hit, the 2 frames that Joker was actually touching pika during the bair were actually the 2 frames that are in between the multihit of pikas bair. You can go frame by frame and check.

The only thing is Pikachu has matchups that are extremely against his favor, while all of Joker's bad matchups are only slight favor for the other character. None of Joker's "counters" can thwomp him as hard Ness, G&W, or Mario can thwomp Pikachu. I'd consider Joker better off the fact he can handle pretty much the entire roster fairly well, while Pikachu has at least those 3 where he struggles very badly, then there's Peach, Olimar, and maybe Snake that give Pikachu a significant problem.
