leo just wrote the whole book for this mu

[@TheBestAMVsOfYEAR]

Pause at 2:52. Mute the video. Turn the video speed down to 0.25x. Watch Mk Leo's spacing for those 3 seconds.

[@solomonmiddleton8436]

That was amazing. Thank you for pointing that out

[@pke571]

GODLIKE

[@sympathy_for_strays]

is this just how Leo sees the game? lol

[@megamatt1915]

Wow

[@fusi0n_203]

he managed to evade shulk who has one of the biggest sword in the game

[@recolored1441]

Opponents: *avoid arsene* Mkleo: time for a little pay back

[@d2rpnoy909]

Shows the levels of a state champion vs a world champion. mkleo is legendary

[@ML-yo8kt]

[@ekh.123]

Leo really has the Shulk matchup down, huh? Baiting out preemptive Shield Arts to force Nicko to burn it early, knowing just what Nicko wants in a Shulk combo (to get a free Rebel’s Guard), overwhelming Shulk with fast hitboxes, and stalling out the Smash Art ledgetrap with the Grappling Hook. I could be wrong, though

[@Prochain]

Yeah defo this should be a guide on how to deal wit shulk lmao

[@ZolPsyko]

Nope you're pretty much right. Shulk's aerials come out pretty late compared to moves by Joker and other top tiers, so he can be overwhelmed easily.

[@lordkira9791]

@@ZolPsyko Agreed. Though I think I'd like to see Kome vs MkLeo. I feel like Kome plays "basic" Shulk better than Nicko and uses his aerials via amazing range and coverage. That being said, I'd bet my pubes Leo beats him lol

[@TimpaniTim1]

Damn, it's really true. Gun is effective against enemies weak to guns.

[@DylanPauel]

7:47 Nicko contemplating his existence lmao

[@NormFuture]

This has to be the best we’ve seen Leo play his aerial shots are impeccable

No challenge for leo. Yet. *looking at you top 16/8*

Still no challenge except Tweek or ESAM on occasion KEKW

[@restfulsounds3992]

Watch Leo's spacing in .25 speed. It honestly gives me chills how amazing he is. And the commentators sound funny asfu

[@FBD_WalterClements71]

Damn I could tell the shulk was getting frustrated

[@marsupial2024]

Why is leo so good? He puts in the practice for hours and hours. No secret just hard work

[@julioarcaiko]

Not really. That’s part of it but there’s people that put just as much time, sometimes even more. Tweek is known by many to be tirelessly playing and practicing for hours but he’s not nearly as efficient as Leo. Leo’s special edge comes from mentality.

[@marsupial2024]

@@julioarcaiko no, mkleo puts in more hours. Tweek, almost as many that's why hes second

[@julioarcaiko]

Frank Mena you literally think the only correlation to their placements is solely mathematical amount of time dedicated to practice? What the hell is wrong with your brain? At the level that anyone in top 50 practices it’s extremely dumb to assume that their placements are solely based on play time. Mentality is huge for people at this level, and MkLeos mind and poise under pressure is some of the best in the business.

[@marsupial2024]

@@julioarcaiko hey man it's not your fault you cant understand that mkleo puts in more practice. Most people cant comprehend but its foolish to think he doesn't put in the most hours. Foolish

[@Yammmz372]

Jewlz Cartagena why are you getting triggered? Its both. After mastering whatever it is your doing (10k hours) it comes down to doing homework on your opponents. either way they need to pound some hours on watching other peoples play style as well as extra hours for the .0001 techniques and microbspacing

[@RanchCookies]

Was second match on 2x speed

[@somafiora]

This joker and the one at the end of this tourney are like two different players playing the character

[@JC_RW11]

What is up with pro players rarely using backslash? We get that it's punishable but it can still help you escape many situations and do great damage and knockback. Nicko didn't use it once

[@JamarWilliams94]

It's too slow, and the risk reward for backslash isn't worth using it, because if it whiffs you're going to eat a ton of damage. Also it's a terrible escape option.

[@ZolPsyko]

Using that move is TERRIBLE against a good joker, let alone Leo. Even backslashing to the ledge would be bad because Joker can just rebel's guard or counter it.

[@Carlisho]

If it was Salem he would use it.

[@Carlisho]

wicky true, characters that spam back air or like to do spot dodge or roll after a move always get backslashed for it.

[@andrewbanks4735]

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Leo fan, but I'm kinda sad that my boy Nicko lost this set. It's nothing to be ashamed of though, MKleo is an Incredible player, #1 PGR for a reason.

[@fujinyumi5632]

Those ledge stalls from joker are rediculous. If joker should be nerfed for anything it should be relating to those ledge stalls.

[@ericdragoification]

Leo played so perfectly

[@stijnvandenmunckhof1275]

Shulk cheats and leo cheeses him out just wating for the smash art to run out

[@pistarrafernandez9830]

nicko played his cards really bad in this set.. why he kept turning on smash art too early? mkleo simply abused a character mechanic too survive smash art and nicko didnt even realize it

I just luv joker
