[@HooperCross]

@@rohandatta7111 True. I think at this point, Roy is not the best matchup against a fighter with such a diverse kit like Byleth. Leo's approach is to space and bait as much as he can against Kola, which worked effectively most of the time. Kola needs to use Snake or Cloud and study Leo for the next time. Though you gotta admit, Kola is the best Roy we have seen so far.

[@Eljacob0]

If Kola is playing against someone who can exploit Roy's recovery so consistently... It's a 3-0. Roy (and frankly, him) don't have that magic Fatality ability to always recover with a sub-par upB. Any opponent close to MkLeo's level is going to sniff out how to destroy Kola off stage and just end the whole set.

[@danger2236]

I have hope for Kola as he was able to actually recover without being byleth up-b-ed, a key part of conditioning is being able to go for multiple options and the opponent not being able to cover them, the way he mixed up his recovery gives me hope

[@flaksturmAILD]

I’ve never seen a player make up for a character’s shortcomings like Leo does with Byleth. Granted, it’s really just the speed that prevents them from being top tier, but Leo is just too patient and calculated with his play. It’s starting to be frustrating seeing him stay at the top like this, but damned if he doesn’t deserve to be there.

[@AL-lh2ht]

I think the main issue is byleth walking speed and tilts are slow but other moves are not if canceled. So as long as he play in spear distance the main slow issues are solved.

[@plushling6996]

Leo was insane this set, especially compared to their last outing at Glitch. The unfortunate matter is that Kola simply didn't play the match-up. He kept falling for the same traps and situations Mkleo kept dishing out. The advantage of playing an off-meta character like Byleth. Especially if you're proficient enough to carry the character's meta forward. Outstanding set by Leo.

[@gianz2066]

And how exactly do you play this matchup? To be honest I feel like kola didn't do anything wrong, except for lose neutral a few times. After kola lost neutral he simply got dlc'd on. How exactly is kola supposed to avoid that dlc up b when he gets sent of stage? Fair and especially bair send Roy at the worst angle possible when he gets hit off stage, after he gets hit its just a free up b kill for Leo. So if you have any tips for kola on how he could avoid that bs I would love to hear, cause frankly I don't see it.

[@plushling6996]

@@gianz2066 The most immediate thing I can suggest is recovery mix-ups, which granted is hard for Roy. Again and again, you see Kola going for the same angle at the same time. Leo capitalized on this and once he got Kola's pattern on lock, he seldom missed those Up-Bs. So I'd like to see him try going a little lower to catch Leo fishing for the Up-B or delay it to throw off his timing, which he did do at 7:51 and 9:27. But by that point, he had already lost a stock to that 4 or 5 times and was down 2 games before he started catching on. Another thing is that Kola got grabbed a lot this set. He would drift in with falling aerials and shield to anticipate Leo's OOS options, but Leo read that and just kept grabbing him and racking up damage, but that point is more to the players and less so the characters. But in general, if Kola respected Byleth's Up-B more by either waiting for it both on and offstage and play accordingly, that could've saved him several stocks and neutral interactions.

[@noice8911]

People keep saying that his opponents need to “play the matchup”, but he’s fought the best of the best below him and still destroyed them. I don’t think it’s that simple

[@tidianesimpson]

@@gianz2066 I agree. Only thing I could say is kola should get a hold of his nerves cause off stage instead of directional air dodging he’d immediately jump. It’s a common roy habit. I have to stop doing it myself. Most Roy’s off stage burn their double jump early.

[@tidianesimpson]

@@gianz2066 also if kola doesnt feel like using his directional air dodge immediately after being sent off stage he can buffer a wave bounced neutral B or side B. That way he keeps all his resources.

[@Spyder-Marth]

The fact that MKLeo gave Byleth, the most hated SSBU DLC character (edit: in terms of their INITIAL REVEAL, GOSH-DARN IT) a chance and brought in these types of tournament results with him, astonishes me in a good way. I love Byleth so watching MKLeo bring out the best in him and prove haters wrong is insanely hype. Byleth's victory quotes seem to fit, too. 3-0 victory and Byleth yells "No hesitation!"

Kola is a rising star for sure. What he just got a lesson in though, is what it means and what it takes to be the best in the world and stay at that spot. In a competitive sport like Smash, you don't have to win every set, or beat every player. You just have to be able to adapt very very fast. Look how he adapted against Tweek's Diddy and Kola's Roy, both of whom essentially caught him off guard in different ways. Kola essentially had Leo against the ropes last time they fought, and Leo was able to eke by on good luck on his part and some misfortune on Kola's part. Now though, this set wasn't even close. You can see Kola trying to do what he did against him last time and Leo is just ready for it like a fully fortified iron fortress. This is where we'll see if Kola has what it takes to be a God like Nairo and Samsora were

レオ強すぎ定期

[@VroSki0803]

Sorry Kola, congrats on CEO! But when you gotta grab, down tilt or neutral to start up the combos with Roy, it’s really hard against Byleth and his natural alone beats all of those options let alone leads into combos to distance the match, distance and natural won and I agree with the Commentators. Kola had to play more technical and slower which is hard cuz Roy is supposed to be fast and aggressive. Good match broskis love to see it.

Leo is such a chad

[@Eljacob0]

I've watched Kola dumpster some of the best players. He's incredible. But Roy is simply exploitable, and MkLeo showed it. He consistently edgeguarded Spargo's Aegis with dairs and nairs; what can a Roy do about it? Both of them are world class players, but this 3-0 shows that experienced Byleths with take the W 99% of the time against Roy. All the same, I will basically always root for both of them. Unless they're against Maister- and damn, do I hate MkLeo for murdering my flatboy over and over in finals lol

[@danger2236]

At least Roy was able to counter some of byleth’s edgeguarding options by recovering slightly differently, I have hope

[@kejumanis4474]

@@danger2236 you know if kola can improve, leo can too, that shit scary

[@tobyvision]

@@danger2236 Roy is my day one main, and I've always figured this day would come. His recovery isn't bottom tier, but it's pretty limited. Going hard on edgeguards against Roy is just about always the right thing to do, and it's just starting to show.

どちらも最強すぎです

[@Kamedouken]

Only so much Roy can do against a byleth but but top tier performances none the less

[@lightvoid7089]

Man leo's got that shmovment. Great recoveries.

[@magegeneral6988]

Did Leo get even better...damnnnn

[@JARVISK600]

Jesus christ Leo is just that damn good

[@KatsuDjinGX]

MK Leo is just a tier above. 3 stocking Kola who some people consider top 10 in the world. Savage

[@nwz6084]

Kola has NOTHING on MKLeo. The difference in level is huge

[@anthonyking4334]

2:40, used up fair parallel to stage, spike zone, jump up air dodge (diagnal right). air dodge instead of burning jump then fair 6:30

[@Genis-Vell]

This honestly now looking like a losing match up for Roy

[@voodooedits785]

It’s even

[@MylesC1234]

Mkleo is a lvl 10 CPU

[@Gran_Ove]

I think lvl 20.

[@vesicapiscis9717]

I was rooting for my boy Kola and I think he has a chance to win this, but leo is certainly a behemoth. I'm looking forward to future matches

[@TheNegationist]

Kola was scared of him.

[@sams802]

Leo’s Byleth is just on another level. Usually Roy is a counter pick for Byleth considering how much of a rush down char he is. But he is just too good and accurate.

[@yukkoi8285]

How a human can be so good at one game, my god, Leo sold his soul to the devil

[@JDarkAngeI]

Sold*

@@JDarkAngeI Thanks, still learning english

[@mrharvy100]

Shows that Kola still has a long way to go.It’s Nice he won CEO and all even if a lot of the heavy hitters didn’t go, but this shows this tournament was on a completely different level

[@JGRAY_Herps]

Those up B edge guards from Leo look so free the way he does it

[@naru6779]

1:41 what a move

[@DavionLane]

I waited all this time just for kola to get edgegaurded to oblivion

[@broadcliff5842]

Bro he is insane he obliterated kola
