It takes a worthy challenger to make MKLeo pop off Proto is Amazing

[@dallennelsen5521]

I know bro I don't like it because he vs the boi nairo tomorroe

[@hatsunemiku8007]

The smash community ruined the term popoff, the way they use it is so cringe

[@davesnow7133]

maru 24476 what do you mean

[@SaitejaPathivadaDARKNESS]

Shaka Zulu totally agree with u dude popping off does not mean the opponent was good or bad. It meant mkleo just played well

[@bre_yd4556]

Sai Pathivada that’s exactly what they meant by pop off. You’re the one that misunderstood.

[@Thatguytoy0urleft]

*Leo gets a cheese kill* "Leo didnt deserve those two kills at all" *Proto gets the biggest grab on moving platform cheese kill* "Proto is a monster right now"

[@psihuntr]

The first set proto had stage control and from neutral was constantly chaining him to the ledge. The cheese was when proto got a bit greedy and makes one down air to take a stock he was currently losing. Not to mention without Arsen the downair likely would not have connected. Granted the platform grav was a cheese kill so neither party is clean here

[@Thatguytoy0urleft]

@@psihuntr oh i know, its highly situational and takes good read skills to make it happen. I am just putting forward the obvious bias in the commentating. I didn't mean to sound like I was defending Leo

[@jasonlobo2350]

@@psihuntr youre talking like if arsene is some cheap killer xD with that dair

[@ethannnnnnn]

I mean to be fair it looks like mkleo got two accidental stocks for these games and they totally saved his ass. Meanwhile proto was beating him pretty consistently.

[@Thatguytoy0urleft]

@@ethannnnnnn What do you mean? They weren't accidental, they were situational. It's not like he accidentally pressed down air in the right situation, he saw it coming because of the regrab or whatever. He also went for multiple of stage shenanigains and got a footstool but also lost and died for one. So saying it's accidental is just wrong

[@JeffRobLink]

A rare pop off from MkLeo. WOW!!! I love the way ProoBanham played in that match so aggressive

[@benjaminloh3323]

@Wawawa yes but usually when MkLeo wins a match easily he barely has any reaction. The fact that he had a bigger reaction than usual shows that Protobanham pushed him to his limit and made him use everything he had to win.

[@germanshoe191]

marco gonzalez there is NO WAY you can find a Lucina who Up Bs as much as ProtoBanham

[@theimpersonator7086]

In Ultimate Lucina plays it more slow since she is a neutral based character. Proto does a good job of showing her punish game, but it is still not the best amount other top tiers. That’s why Leo did so well with her since his strongest pout is his neutral Ult Lucina is not like Melee Marth. Melee Marth can play both a super heavy punish game or a slow neutral as shown by M2K and PPMD respectively

[@CoffeeCakeBun]

I hope this shuts up the "JoKeR is BroKen" people. This was a very close game because Proto learned the match up, adapts fast, and is a great player. It very easily could've gone to Proto. With time, more people will be able to deal with Joker, so hold off the nerfs balancing team!

[@fnsiii7975]

范T Same here

[@evo683]

Joker is a pretty fair top tier all things considered imo

[@dablues8459]

Joker is still a top tier no doubt about it even without arsene. My argument always goes towards people that try and under sell how good this character is

[@CoffeeCakeBun]

Evo he is. However some would rather complain and beg for nerfs instead of learning to get good. They’d rather a character get downgraded so they can win more easily than get better at the game.

[@CoffeeCakeBun]

Da Blues yeah Joker is definitely good, even without Arsene. Nowhere near broken as some are saying. It’s like saying something is “broken” or “needs a nerf” is the default behaviour to have whenever someone loses instead of looking at their own shortcomings.

Arsene is busted lol. Being able to kill at 70% from the middle of the stage is what? Perfectly balanced?

[@Plotpurotto]

João Chrystello excuse me? You seen joker’s kill moves without arsene? He barely has any kill moves besides from on stage with his fsmash. His bair is weak as fuck as well and doesn’t Even kill between 130%-150%, his fair is also weak as fuck without arsene, his dair is ass without arsene and tons of his smash attacks is weak as shit Arsene is there to power boost joker so he can actually have a chance in a fight.

もう一度このカードみたい

[@shadowstar2194]

Amazing set, the only two things negative that I have to say is that poor Proto had that last match but that SD cost him imo. Also, Proto had that edge guard but due to Joker putting back on the mask and getting rid of Arsene thus becoming invincible, Proto missed out on the kill there because of just bad timing for the meter to run out.

[@jamesgreenwood1703]

Do u think Leo was just going to let himself get hit

[@shadowstar2194]

@@jamesgreenwood1703 Of course not, but considering that Leo was at 83%, that f-air possibly could've killed him and brought the match back to even. What could Leo do to avoid getting hit there though? Lucina outranges him with the sword, he can't jump because the f-air covered above too. His only real option was to air dodge but Proto could then ledge trump once Leo got back to ledge. But because Arsene went away at that exact moment, the invincibility outlasted Lucina's f-air allowing him to jump over and get back safely. I just don't see a way that Leo would've made it back without being in disadvantage or even losing that stock.
