MKLeo is the only player I've seen that is completely 100% immune to tilting or being discouraged. He has a mentality of steel. He could be 3-stocked twice in a row, down 2-0 in a set, and then be like "Hold up, I'm up MKLeo", and get a reverse sweep without batting an eye.

"MkLeo is the only *Smash* player that is 100% immune to tilting* This is why i both love MKLeo so much and vehemently dislike the Smash community. MKLeo is the only smash player who reminds me of top Level FGC players. Dudes like Combofiend, Chris G, Sonic Fox, FilipinoChamp, Justim Wong, Diago, Qudans, GO1, Dogura, Kazunoko, Moke, Nakkiel, etc are dudes with nerves of absolute adamantium! The smash community in general just have a different mindset when it comes to competition. Most of them (even the best) are really casuals who mastered 1 fighting game while other top fighting game players mastered the art of *competition*. Sm4sh is the perfect example of this. Literally every top tier character in the game got nerfed into the ground due to the cry of casuals so now its a broken watered down mess of a game. ZeR0, Hbox, and the old school Melee dudes like Ken and Isai were/are also cut from the same cloth that true competitors are woven from. Too bad Zero retired and HBox mostly focuses on Melee and streaming. Those are the only two dudes in the smash community who have a chance to dethrone MKLeo but as Zero says: "since Smash players make 10% of what other fighters pay, its more lucrative for smashers to just become personalities instead of grinding for tourney wins"

Leo’s adaptability as well as his calm in the face of odds stacked against him are two traits *well* beyond his years. Also these two traits will carry over and be invaluable in whatever vocational path he takes after his Smash career. Really just can’t understate how impressive this kid is.

I think Palutena is one of the characters out there that can actually avoid the edge guarding of Joker. The only problem is Arsene but I feel like the match up is doable. After seeing Peach I kinda feel like Palutenas tools actually have more variety than Peach.

Probably, because Leo is a guest. If the tournament was hosted outside the US, believe me, the whole crowd would always be with Leo. Nothing wrong with the crowd wanting an American to win. Outsiders, nonetheless, are still watching and appreciating the great player that Leo is. His resilience is quite insane, more than his playstyle. I mean don't get me wrong, he plays very good.

2 of my favorite players putting up a good fight.

The mislick at the end was that Nairo was trying to fair which he uses the second stick for, and on default controls the second stick is a smash attack stick, so Nairo landed on the ground too early and it came out as an fsmash when he flicked the thicc sticc

I love EE’s commentary in this

The crowd cheering for Nairo made it more satisfying to watch MKLeo win lol. Good job MKleo! 😁

HOW DOES HE ALWAYS DO IT mkleo is such a MADlad

One of my favorite matches. Also one of my least favorite because how who was I supposed to cheer for? I like them both. D:

My favorite thing when Leo wins, is when you hear everyone cheering for the other guy. Suck on it haters !

MK Leo's Joker is probably the only Joker in existence that isn't mainly just *Gets beaten up* *Wins for it* He still wins for getting beaten up sometimes and wins for it, but his non-arsene Joker is still extremely deadly. One of the only few Joker mains that regularly gets kills without needing Arsene.

That spike in game 3 gave me chills my god

mis dos jugadores favoritos en un duelo a muerte... fue la mejor pelea de mi vida!

17:34 is really what mkleo does best fake chasing his opponent to get them to hard di one way

If I were to describe a match as two players scrapping back and forth, this is the match

Leo is a monster win three major tournaments and all was in losers i didn’t watch a lot of this since I was busy but he samsora was a win away of wining th e tournament and Leo did what he did in evo then that’s a monster player right her in ultimate

I love watching MK Leo man he's fucking fantastic

Mk Leo's face against samsora after he kept getting hit by the stitch turnips was priceless

I’m devastated but it just proves that Nairo is very capable of being the best player in the world.

In game 5 the down throw up air was calculated but it was because nairo held in, if he di’d out he might not have escaped but he wouldn’t die
