Leo's spacing this set was truly absurd

[@juniperrodley9843]

love how Leo's solution to problem matchups is usually to straight up just get better (somehow)

[@itscoolthough419]

The shmovement was crazy

[@mateosalguero]

He got so much damage with guns last stock by whiff punishing the hell out of Tea.

[@sweatybabypowderhands843]

People are so good Leo really has to fight for his life. I love these close sets. Leo’s Joker just getting better and better.

[@oscar5012]

will agree that Tea is great but he’s also just abusing Kazuya jank, no shame in doing what will nab you the win

[@lyrics2challenged]

@@oscar5012 he always does. Clearly played better this time tho. Tens of thousands abuse it and it's like 6 pro Kazuya and 3 top at max. With 4/5 that can win.

For me, it’s not about that leo being the best smasher, it is actually about the creativity and the outstanding gameplay he delivers in all his sets. Whether he wins or loses, I don’t really care. I just enjoy watching him, that’s it.

15:38 Is why I missed Leo's Joker

[@A_Shut-in_NEET]

Joker beast mode

[@Quinnsula5]

You can also see his byleth still in the way he plays joker, as the byleth help him master spacing even more. Because of that, his joker is much more scary as he just has the pefect spacing and all.

[@nicholas930]

@@Quinnsula5 Imo it's probably that he's playing more marth now cause tbh his byleth didn't feel that heavy based or it could be that he got better at movement so he can space better.

@@NaughtyPigMario ngl kazuya is pretty stupid but i like him

[@diegojaraestivill5620]

Is strange. But when Leo uses Joker, it's like the players start, at a certain point, to get frustrated and force their defeat. For example, Tea, started throwing random moves at the end of the last set, and in the first set, when he was losing, he didn't hit a bair which he survived. I have seen these same attitudes in Mars... or at least it is my impression

[@backupaccount5332]

Leo joker truly strikes fear in his opponents’ hearts 😅 Also joker can be hard to hit at times with his mobility and hurtbox shifting. Not to mention leo’s slingshots and gun tech

[@joewoloson1224]

Leo's Joker is nothing but sauce and I love it. The gun movement alone is so far above any other Joker.

[@dragunarah8695]

I’m so glad he stuck with joker. Keep up the awesome work Leo. Overall great fight from both parties.

why do people act like kazuya recovery like its that bad. People talk about it like its the weakness that really balances him out but it is not that bad.

[@corgitoergosum8400]

It's a serviceable recovery. Which is more than enough for a character like him.

[@oscar5012]

yeah, people think you just gotta get him offstage but he’s got decent horizontal drift and great vertical height EDIT: also the up b hitbox is super annoying and will kill you early

Tea played very poorly in game 5, missed an important electric at 15:28 that could have lead to a 0 to death and looks like he got tilted and started throwing them out after. Still, the rest of the set he played great and Leo is an absolute god for winning this matchup against the best Kazuya, it's such a pleasure to watch his Joker and I'm so happy it's back

[@A_Shut-in_NEET]

Looking cool joker!

[@Wymizer]

[@Greatermaxim]

We can now say defeating Kazuya is Mkleo's cup of Tea.

[@dansu1503]

When you land ewgf on game 4 Leo, you're still in disadvantage... Check out 10:09 and 16:31, Tea getting baited with the same DI mixup twice in the exact same situation. Great games for both players!

[@nyukjustacommenter857]

Yeah people like to rag on Kazuya and though I will say his kit separates him way too much from the other characters (Like Little Mac in the sense that you may be forced to use a character or playstyle you don't like) the fact that he can get punished for overrelying on EWGF shows that Kazuya has far more weaknesses than people give him credit for. He's like Melee Fox in the sense that people said his moveset theoretically outperforms every character when played to perfection, but said perfection is impossible to achieve because of player variables and thus people came to the conclusion that Fox was not as invincible as they forsaw. A lesson only learned from the best in MKLeo!

[@marlon1945]

Joker doesnt beat kazuya easily? The match may be even or slight kazuya. Leo has to play perfect spacing to avoid getting hit. Almost everyone agrees it’s not a good match for joker

[@_XVIII_]

Crazy how Tea isn't getting any hate for playing the same character as another person who gets bashed for it. Either hate everyone who plays him or no one. It's not fair.

Tea was godlike before Kazuya and he doesn't have a mental breakdown all the time.

Oh don’t worry, I don’t “hate”anyone who plays Kazuya though I can’t really give any props to anyone who does. Though Tea was making waves before Kazuya so he at least has that going for him.

@@Michaelrice4199 Despite whatever learning curve and the character has, Kazuya still possesses some VERY unfair tools and is very polarizing, forcing the opponent to play very defensively against him.

Looking back on this set, if Tea had won that, he might have won the entire tournament. His next two opponents would have been Sonix and Muteace, both of which are more than doable for his Pacman. The question is: would Light have made it to grand finals in this alternate timeline? Because if yes, he would have had a very good shot at double eliminating Tea. And on the losers side, Acola probably would have beaten Mkleo and then lost to Sparg0.
