Have to admire the mental toughness of maining Bowzer. Youre gonna spend 2/3rds of the match being comboed or in disadvantage.

LeoN fans dread this matchup haha. When Bowser gets dragged accross the stage, comboed for 20 seconds, get edgeguarded with no reprise by the rat, we feel that.

[@corrinfevincenohr]

8:37 Wait a minute was that Hopcat’s ‘Thunder Wall’? He made it up some of his vids ago but kinda failed to work for him. Very interesting 🤔

[@masterwings50]

1:33 Esam does 2 up airs after getting when hes above the ledge but bowser is no where near him can some explain this technique?

[@damarihanson3876]

In smash bros there is a mechanic called tumble. Some moves send you in tumble and it means that you cannot fast fall I believe. Doing any action takes you out of tumble and Esam like the smart man he is uses the move on his kit that has the least lag (up air) to get out of tumble state. This means that he can be ambiguous with his landings, not letting LeoN know if he is going to fast fall or not

[@masterwings50]

@@damarihanson3876 thank you that helps a lot

[@Crakinator]

I want more ESAM. His advantage state is very entertaining. Hasn’t been showing up at the top level though.

Leon matches are always fun to watch and esam is always hype so this was fire.

6:33 Excuse me, but what is that sound?

[@mystic5175]

Every time I go against Bowser and land a rapid jab I remember that doesn't work

[@sabokgaming3438]

Side special would have worked instead of Up tilt at the end?

[@_Dumb_Answers]

yeah but Leon doesn't know whether ESAM will shield or jump. If ESAM jumped it was gg.

In tournament do the mii’s have to use a certain move set or can you customize them to your liking?

I think you can customize your own

[@EDDYSUNSHINEv2]

It depends on the tourney, but 99.9% of the time you're allowed to customize them to your liking. Hope this helps!

[@soothingseas]

I don't even play bowser and I thought you always command grab there

He went against a possible spot dodge (the delayed up-tilt would've got ESAM if he spot-dodged)

[@RichardBlaziken]

Have to echo the sentiment in the comments here, these commentators are great together. Very fun set.

[@ROMSradio]

That last thunder of round 1 was soo dirtyy!

[@rubberwoody]

it makes the chop sound effect because mi brawler karate chops you

[@gianfranconevigato764]

Hey Bowser mains 👋 Just a Ridley main sympathizing with your pain

[@Zach_Bliss]

I honestly can’t believe Leon didn’t grab at end!?!?!? He had that if he side-b

[@noirlavender6409]

Weird, really. Pressure gets the best of us, I think he tried to reverse that uptilt but it truly is weird as sideB is frame 6 outofshield and uptilt is frame 15, not the best option at all.

[@Manganization]

Yeah, the grab was guaranteed. Still, this was an amazing match to see.

[@worldturt]

@@ManganizationI def don’t think the grab was guaranteed pikas fair is incredibly safe he was probably trying to call out a roll in or spot dodge

[@mysteriousmuffin6017]

I think he tried to read a jump oos

[@DekuDude]

8:08 good commentary

[@demonstrick666]

I didn't even know piston punch was this efficient I used it in 4 for recoveries, but mostly helicopter kick for combos...but smash ultimate....and still seeing mii brawler..... -_-

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

That Pikachu gameplay is insane

[@FishSticker]

Is it just me or is the quality/frame rate shit

[@timothypulliam2177]

Hazmat had me in stitches 😂. Both commentators are great

[@emomc9557]

The problem with mainly only one character, is that you WILL have a bad matchup. Leon plays a mean bowser, but as you can see here, pika mains can exploit bowsers hitbox, his recovery, and the simple fact that bowsers toolset CANNOT answer every issue. Sometimes you gotta stop, assess, figure out what you keep getting hit by, why, then figure out if you just happen to have a terrible matchup

[@theexperience7522]

That was a side b out of shield on that last F-air on shield.

[@BuddhaJesusSoul]

Omg Esam is playing like a BEAST!! I think hes unlocked Super Saiyan Burst or smthg.

[@BOCABEATS]

Great battle

[@abeycampos5301]

these commentators are very great

[@PHIplaytesting]

Honestly I think what makes LeoNs matches against top players so fun to watch is seeing Bowser get the snot beat out of him. 😄 LeoN still makes it close so it's exciting, Bowser puts you at kill percent in like three moves, but I just want to sit back and watch those 80 hit combos man.

[@WMDistraction]

By far my two favorite players!

[@KillerDragoon87]

I think it Leon hit a side b instead of an up tilt at the end there he would’ve won

[@dhruvhosali2416]

Leon rolled from ledge like every time that set and esam didn't punish it once

[@enderstrikegaming8578]

Esam also seemed to be jumping out of combos instead of air dodging. Just me?

Bowser Bomb at the end there would have taken it. Good game though from both.

[@ceribralboy4468]

Game 1 Leon: Okay so I'm going to do the thing where my Bowser is really scary *Esam did not like that*

[@rakuzan1591]

Only one side B at the end , It was a good fight LeoN!

[@-ism8153]

ESAM thought he was going to get the coolest 3-stock ever game three, and then leon pops right back up on the other side of the stage. XD

[@noirlavender6409]

I think Leon should abuse more fire vs pikachu as he does to other characters, pikachu isn't inmune to that and the fire can scoop that rat's upB from a lot of angles just by pointing it to the ledge

[@dirky1185]

i think its because esam can use thunder from under the stage to cancel it and add damage

[@dirky1185]

and the option to just up B behind him or above

[@SkyBrickStudios]

Man on game 4 if Leon hit top platform with command grab we would have seen a game 5

[@Blastros01]

Gees that rat looks so annoying to deal with.

[@enderstrikegaming8578]

I mean, it is, pikachu combos are like cutsceens but bowser is also huge so pika gets a lot more freedom to do what it wants in this matchup. But pika can also die to a random f-air so that means this matchup certainly isnt unwinnable. Unfair but not unwinnable.

[@ThaRealElementX]

Leon should've punished all of those air dodges Esam was throwing out. He did it so many times and he didn't even try to bait it a few times atleast. Ik it's different playing in game against a player but I thought that's something he could've been starting to take advantage of
