[@worldsboss]

It’s at times like this that I think back to when people said that Byleth wouldn’t ever be competitively relevant 😂 Leo is an absolute god

[@zayvk114]

I am in no sense of the word a pro player, but I think Leo really just plays a game of psychology. He always plays super basic and has normal flaws and timings with first game, the second game he tends to pick it up and by the third he shows his true colors. The first game he's letting Kola establish his play style, getting the data, and keeping his own completely secret. Kola came out quickly with his perfectly timed, aggressive combos. The second game Leo gets a little more aggressive trying to test Kola's strengths and possibly trying to get Kola to expose all of his mix ups. The third game, Leo decides Kolas standard play style is no longer going to work. Kola plays perfectly, which in this game is a flaw because Leo knows what he's going to do and the exact counter measures to stop those combos. There are dozens of moments like these such as when Kola killed with the jab - forward smash and later Leo perfectly air dodged. Naturally, towards end of the 3rd game and beginning of the 4th, Kola realized he couldn't do the same aggression and diverted to a respectfully defensive play style (which most players would do), but Leo preferred to chase and Roy can't really play defensively in the first place. Then Kola refuses to give data at the end of 4th. The 5th round he tries his own with timing with varying success until the last stock he plays to Leo's counterplay, to which Leo just reverts back to his normal timings. Diabolical stuff by Leo. I think Kola completely understands this and will be better prepared. The common thinking is that you HAVE to 3-0 Leo to win like Marss did (and Kola tried) but after Tweek's run Leo selects violence at the 2-0 mark. I'm not sure of what combination of games you need to have to beat this guy. Game 4 will never be yours because even if you refuse most data, you need to give up some of the best of your play style to get there for at least 2 gamez, otherwise Leo will 3-0 you. Not sure what the solution is here, but this is definitely what's going on in my mind.

[@SinceroOdio]

Agree, seen this so often now where you think "Damn is that really Leo in game 1/2? It looks so basic, is he kinda out of it?"

@@SinceroOdio yeah there's no way it's not on purpose lol.

[@adrianstimulus2445]

[@WiselyCommaBaby]

Kola has to be top 20 after this. He almost had the 3-0, unfortunately he was playing against Leo. Top 10 might be pushing it slightly (not that it’s impossible) but like top 20 or top 15? Gotta be.

I've been watching Ultimate for some time now. I've always seen Leo as a different league. Like the way he would just beat every player with ease was insane. Its like he plays normally without trying. Then when he's down thats when he actually starts trying. I feel like it may be playing dumb on purpose to catch on to habits? Maybe its a strat. Regardless, his auto pilot mode surpasses others try hard mode. He's so good. Like he's lost but still the amount of consistency he's had. He is just human but he is insane at this game.

[@scotthayes8450]

Been rewatching a bunch of mkleo sets from glitch and riptide. I've been getting the impression he plays predominantly reaction based in the first 2 games with a healthy dose of set plays to suss the oppositions skill & timing. Then in the 3rd game onwards - particularly when down - he reduces the reaction based gameplay as he seems to have the timing and intent of the opposition down. That's why his opponents seem to struggle with punishes and the narrative can drift to them choking, when in reality mkleo massively fine tunes his timing and no longer shows indecision when picking options. No doubt this leads to the extended advantage states and pressure on opponents. Ofc, some top players such as tweak can force leo to take another game or two to suss them out. It is pretty rare though.

That roy was amazing tho, and anyone who could beat him even more so. Every game against leo is like when goku is fighting a new bad guy. Gets his ass kicked the first half until he unlocks his ultra instinct.

[@kirbo603]

I need whatever drug leo took after game 2

[@isaiahwhitney8168]

lmao its too powerful

[@davardl704]

I love kola so much bro, he's doing so good recently

[@CassidyListon]

I was initially skeptical that a Roy--even the world's best Roy--could put up much of a fight against Leo's Byleth but I was pleasantly surprised. Very fun matchup.

Kola gets 2 - 0 on MKLeo. Me. Oh so he loses. Gotcha. Edit* Mann. Kola actually got him if he hadn't gone from 2 to 6 without slipping into any gears in between. He played that last few seconds too fast.

[@connortodd4538]

I feel like Leo leaves openings to learn his opponent in the first couple games. Once he has direct hands on experience with exactly what options the foe goes for, then he goes all out on countering them. Then, on top of that, he is able to adapt to his opponent even after they learn that Leo understands them. Mastercraft. Best player to ever play ultimate.

15:45 actually tragic

[@darthdistortion1934]

Leo plot armour

[@robertliu342]

There seems to be some confusion on whether or not Kola would've won if that f-smash landed. It's actually pretty complicated, but I did make a video simulating the possibilities: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amqrfYRnj6qMl8U

[@michaelstringfellow6754]

8:15 "HE IS LITERALLY FREESTYLING ON HIM RIGHT NOW" "OMG OMG OMG THE SWITCH IS GONNA OVERHEAT" "THIS IS A ONE MAN CYPHER" Kola watching this video: 😐

[@marcodougherty2078]

I hope to see KOLA take one soon, he seems like a G

[@ThemCoversMB]

The switch is gonna over heat! Aha I liked that.

[@pelagiusseptim3454]

man seluigi was still asleep in the first two matches and then his alarm rang at the third lol that's when he actually physically opened his eyes to play

[@RelentlessPork]

Game 5 Cynthia theme is the most boss theme you can get when against Leo

[@Severnex]

That tech Chase f smash whif was a heart breaker

[@caseybrowning9770]

Kola is one of my favorite players. Would love to see him take a win

[@almaderoble]

The sword could not penetrate that THICK PLOT ARMOR. Great game!

[@mogus96]

What's the music that's playing over electroplankton in game 4 called?

[@DrCorndog1]

"You're gonna get another opportunity--" "NO HE'S NOT!"

[@jeilastnamejei5831]

damn that ledge getup intangibility has hands

[@calthesquidking5839]

Kola held his ground though. Big ups! Even to the end. That was a hype set, everyone loves an underdog.

[@jablosounds]

Leo is a showman. He knows how far away he is from the rest of the world and unlike Zero who didn’t give a F if he can destroy you he will end you, Leo wants to give the people a show because without it, it’s just gonna be 3-0’s every time lol

[@miq2240]

Kola up 2-0 "Why do I hear boss music?"

[@chapystick_]

They legit played music over Electroplankton 😂😂
