🔎 About socials:
If I tag socials, then this should be done for ALL players (without a single exception), and not just for one person. Socials of some players can not be found (players with default nicknames, some Asian players, etc). I am convinced that it's extremely dishonest to tag contacts of few people and not to tag all the rest, so there will be no social links in description.
But I respect the players whose matches I post. Therefore, if you are sure that videos presented "as is" are not acceptable, I will stop posting content with your participation and remove the ones posted earlier.
If you want to tag socials by yourself, feel free to post usernames in comment section (KZbin may remove links).

7:05 no way anyone saw that overhead

[@etechzero6476]

Covering himself with his "projectile" so the opponent doesn't see what he's about to do is such a 4000 IQ play

[@M-Trigger]

And still people complain about Delilah "polluting the screen"

[@infinphoenix13]

😂😂😂😂. I barely saw it.

[@krnprsd498]

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s something you’d have to recognize and predict when playing against Asuka, but it’s an extremely rare scenario against an already pretty niche character

[@BraveBirdFGC]

Goboi really holdin down for the Asuka mains

[@Maxxisblitz]

Leo is a character who paradoxically has trouble approaching, but also has to approach to enter his win condition. This combination makes this matchup extremely challenging. Good play by Gobou.

[@M-Trigger]

So you are telling me that Leo, the Rushdown, has the problems of a Grappler? because "has to get in to win, but haves trouble to do so" sounds like a Grappler to me lol

[@atomicwheeze8756]

@@M-Trigger Well Leo has pretty limited full-screen ‘get in’ tools. Asuka, as a primary zoner, shuts down any of his attempts if Leo’s timing is off. If Leo is mid screen this isn’t so much of a problem but burst instantly invalidates this by sending Leo or Asuka full screen

[@hlarjay7503]

How did this set come about?

[@veracaelestis]

Fighters spirit is this weekend so tempest as well as several other players are in korea atm for it. Its an arc world tour event as well

[@hakunam.r.8880]

Wait a minute, ain't this set a cross region set? did someone set this up or something, cuz if it does i hope they also set up Mocchi and Umisho to have a mirror

[@GILFtamer]

Arc World Tour event

[@isopodspouse]

Why do so few people play Leo? I know his popularity goes up a bit with elo but he's still very rare.

[@MultiDJIC]

many players don't like charge characters

[@skinnyboi8937]

I've have a Leo main as a friend and he's only Leo I've fought this patch it's crazy, top tier but low play rate

[@hakumenx1]

Because hes less brain dead. You cant dp into his win con as easily anymore so a ton of ppl dropped him.

[@M-Trigger]

Tried Leo myself once, but I ended up dropping him, not because he being difficult to learn, I go with Asuka just fine, mostly because his buttons, neutral and combo structure (When not in back stance) are kinda weird and different from the rest of the characters, or at least the ones I play, so i didn´t felt very comfortable playing with him, but that's just me tho.

[@memedealer7001]

tl;dr Different overall neutral (Most moves are committal and there is a big emphasis on a dash that is way better at closing small gaps as opposed to big ones), absolutely despises dps because you need very specific inputs to OS the right moves, and loops the same scenario that deals barely 100 dmg outside the corner. Not that he's bad or anything, but that you need to try and work around these issues that most characters don't really have.

[@tatsumatsu4071]

Gobou has been really nice this time. Otherwise using Asuka to beat shit out of Leo is as simple as backdash.

[@GuiltyMoMo]

Does Gobou what is he actually doing? Love to see him in training room and taking notes on what he can mix and what to use and when

[@SKD_TRASH_at_Blazblue]

7:05 that's some CHEAP SHIT ^_^

[@bonkai09]

Tempest let's go

[@eebbaa5560]

i found out the other day that leo literally can’t block in his backturn stance and now people who joke about leo players never blocking just look stupid to me

[@noboty4168]

In exchange, he can parry most any attack, including supers. Projectiles get returned to sender.

[@victusvanzant7454]

Seriously wtf were the devs thinking when they made Asuka…

[@skinnyboi8937]

I know it's a overdone joke but, this Leo can't block to save their life

[@atomicwheeze8756]

He blocked plenty. If you don’t take risks against Asuka you’re gonna get chipped down to nothing.

[@skinnyboi8937]

@@atomicwheeze8756 dawg he got hit by so many stray cubes that were plain as day to see, it's not even a not noticeable in a match thing they were right fuckin' there. Risks amount to jack shit if you're not being smart about it

[@pancakes7483]

It was never a joke, Leo Mains can't block lol

[@waitingforzato-1i-noinguil301]

I agree with Skinnyboi8937. Tempest was not blocking hardly any cubes, period. I know Gobou shoots them out faster than any other Asuka player, but Tempest had played long sets with other top NA Asuka players, so they should know when to either break or block the cubes - I will give them a pass on the green cubes, because sometimes it will look like you are "clear", but you end up getting hit anyway, because the hitbox on the cubes is too big, IMO. To me, it looked like every time they got hit by a lot of cubes, they either got frustrated, or gave up. I know if the connection is laggy it can be hard to block things you normally would, and if that's the case, then Tempest put that on themselves for playing on laggy hotel wi-fi. But yeah, no offense to these players, but I haven't seen someone get hit by this many cubes since when I watched the Asuka Matsuri, and the Asuka players were new and below level 200.

[@drexoslek2277]

It’s so cursed that bursting Asuka puts him in a winning position.
