the irony that fataility made mkleo counter pick from aegis to byleth is so funny to me. ult is such a fun scene

His Byleth is better and is also much better off stage.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

in this MU

[@DeepfriedBeans4492]

In this matchup and against this player, imo I think a lot of it is because fatality likes to go offstage for deep edgeguards and byleth’s up b absolutely destroys people who try going off stage, which eliminated a massive part of how fatality gets kills

[@tsunamycr5481]

16:40 Leo slingshots to move out of the way of falcon's dash grab and position himself for punish. What a madlad lmfao

[@l.a.rodriguez9581]

I think slingshot is a good movement tool for some characters, and a necessity at top level for others (I guess Lucas players have known about it for a while).

Is the slingshot not just a turnaround jump? I swear to god I’ve been doing it for months before there was a name for it. Ness turnaround back air?

@Baby Jay i dont believe its that simple, as everyone whos been at least trying to get better should know about turnaround bair, since bair is always stronger. When the term slingshot started to blow up, alot of pros were in videos practicing this "new" tech, including mkleo and fatality.

Byleth was such a smart counter pick from Leo. Fatality was getting so much from edge guards against aegis and Byleth feels impossible to edge guard

Knew Leo was gonna win but wanted to watch Fatality's hype AF falcon play

[@jbama82]

There were 2 moments in game 4 in which Fatality went for footstool->Falcon Kick out of shield, but he flubbed the input... one of which he died for. I know he's trying to push Falcon to the limit, but that tech is so hard to execute and has very little payoff. I wonder if he'll reflect on this set and reevaluate the risk/reward ratio of that OoS option. If it's THAT hard for the BEST Falcon to pulloff, idk if it's worth going for considering how little you get for it even when you do it correctly. That aside, though, I feel he played great in this set. He's gotten so much better and I hope he has a beastly Losers Bracket run. Keep your head up, Griffin!!!!

[@mykingjr]

Amazing tech from Fatality that last game WOW. Cannot believe he reacted to getting hit there.

[@MakimaDog]

[@mo533]

So good seeing Fatality again, forcing Leo into a character counter pick no less; missed this guy. Very fun set! He reminds me of Nairo the way he goes for the big plays, honestly such a crowd pleaser without even tryin.

Man that was a very nice set. I was surprised that was rooting for fatality bc I’m a huge Leo fan but fatality had Leo’s Pyra / Mythras number so much he switched off to byleth (which I’ve been craving to see again) so GGs to the legend and as well to fatal

Did I miss something in the ruleset or in the match? How come Leo switched to Byleth after winning a game?

[@lyrics2challenged]

Unless it's something like crew battles normally, you can always switch the character between games. If you mean JUST after he won, Byleth had a way better chance against Falcon offstage, better range, and hits just as hard as Aegis. Better projectile too, just a lot easier to avoid dying offstage against Falcon.

[@rouge939]

Falcon is amazing at edgeguards and Pyra / Mythra’s recovery sucks

Is there something in the rules about that? In Frostbite, Leo had won 5 straight games against Maister's G&W but used Byleth for game 6.
