SPOILERS .. This reverse 3-0 was awesome, after Tweek beat leo's byleth then 5-0'd his Aegis at Summit, Leo here makes a reverse 3-0 followed by a 3 stock, using a mid/high tier character at a supermajor. Leo, tweek and spargo carry all their characters by a lot, (esp leo), and i personally think they're the best 3 by skill/fundamentals in the world. I was happy for tweek overcoming leo at summit so solidly and then leo getting the runback with his favorite character in the most hype way possible here was perfectly hype for their next WF/GFs encounter! Shows that tiers in this game are very small and skill by far matters the most. Unrelated, but all these guys have a Metafy if anyone would like to learn/improve from them.

It truly was a masterpiece. That last match, he wasn’t letting Tweek breathe. He was two steps ahead of him the whole time. Leo is such a beast at this game. His ability to adapt and figure out the opponent is just staggering.

[@ninjablade2]

[@n0simpathy304]

You adapt. Whoever adapts faster usually wins most fighting games. It's a constant rock, paper, scissors. If they keep blocking, you grab. They spot dodge a lot, maybe you jab. If they spam projectiles, reflect or parry them. There is a counter to everything. Just whoever gets to abuse those options without having the opponent adapt in time.

[@darbyfabre2]

Really, for those of us who like Smash, Leo vs Tweek feels like watching Real Madrid vs Barcelona in the days of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the game that the crowd looks forward to the most and it rarely disappoints. What an epic set and what a way to come back for Leo, with a character widely considered Mid Tier and closing it with a 3 stock. Sometimes seems to be true that legend that says: "To beat Leo, you must prevent set from reaching game 4".

[@juliogallegos3194]

I couldn’t have thought of a better comparison to tweek and leo than Barcelona and Madrid. I was fortunate enough to be able to watch both those clubs with Messi and Ronaldo at their best and now I get to see Mkleo and tweek. Very fortunate indeed

He says that almost at the end

[@markusbanda]

and HBox is Argentinian. He probably brings that point forward cause despite a bit of rivalry, there's an unspoken fraternal feel between Mexico and Argentina. Football (soccer), Spanish and Quino are probably why.

[@ellie8272]

This is by far the greatest Ultimate set I have ever seen.

[@voodooedits785]

I think gluto vs tea was an incredible set but this one is amazng

[@bryangaldamez790]

Tbh the best match between these 2 was grand finals evo 2019

[@blackoriginthreshold7126]

Im so glad in person tournaments are back, i missed this feeling. No words to describe it

[@AroundWayOther]

fantastic set. even with their new characters, it's a joy to watch. GGs! riptide is a fantastic event

[@DowntownLAKid]

It’s an all new season! Imagine if it was just joker vs pt again??? No way man these guys really made it that much more entertaining

[@Sean-xc9im]

This is what Smash needed coming off COVID. Two absolute Smash legends at this point.

[@Gran_Ove]

Nah, only one is a Smash Legend, the other is a good Pro Player.

*After watching a interview with Leo, you can tell he did not want lose to another Diddy Kong ever again.*

[@bryangaldamez790]

What interview

[@guts1830]

That last game tho leo had control over everything knew what tweek wanted to do before he even wanted to do it and the last stock was a 0 to death leo truly is the king

[@rohanshah7559]

Games 1 and 2 were pretty close, but games 3-5 were the most one sided dominations I’ve seen in a Leo vs tweek set ever

[@leer3943]

This is the best I have ever seen Leo play. He was a literal God in those last 3 games. No one in any universe ever was going to beat him.

[@lucasargandona4658]

Except hungry box

[@atiq.r]

Tweet covering his flow chart. Leo: fine I’ll listen in class Tweek: -wait

[@manificent5733]

I like how before quarantine their mains would be Joker vs Pokemon trainer/Wario and now they were playing online tournaments during quarantine with this 2 characters and here we are using them offline and them just ripping the competition with them

[@Dougie02]

It's 11/15/21 at least 4 majors after riptide & tweek still has not recovered from this reverse 30. Dude is now talking about practice ( footage ) 😭

[@stinkybut3578]

As a byleth main from day one and being an Mkleo fan from day one. This gives me so much life

[@guitarshredder456]

I’m trying to watch this storyline play out with byleth and esam’s pikachu now after Glitch

[@aldoperez23]

Honestly What makes Leo so good is his sheer ability to adapt and download his opponents I bet if he did like a first to 100 with anyone he’d win it(exaggeration being a first to 100 is super long and would drag on but you get the point

[@MrBooks-xt6jx]

It's like watching Goku vs Vegeta. Vegeta trains so hard to catch up and surpass Goku, and then Goku just digs deep and levels up in 1 episode.

[@JacobBush16]

I was so scared this entire set cause Tweek’s Diddy is next level. But Leo shows why he’s the best. That mental game and adaptation does not go away no matter what player or what character he’s facing. Jesus fucking Christ. The man is insane. And to do it with a mid tier character just shows tier lists are really irrelevant. Play the character you enjoy and watch the results pile in. My lord.

[@Shinsenn]

20:41 "idk what happend in game 3 but something clicked for leo and he understood that man defeats monkey" that commentary had me dieing

[@Xerion1]

MkLeo the God. Wow. I was gonna end the video because I was like, "It's obvious that Leo loses here" after game 2 but watched a bit more and he actually turned it back around. I'm impressed.

[@hotshot15271]

12:52 was one of the coolest moments I've ever seen! What an amazing improvised kill dude, holy crap!

[@PrototypeGamingV2]

This is easily the most entertaining set I've ever watched. Hands down.

[@AtlasSaves]

If you play smash to any competency level you can admire literally how much active thinking is going into every second of game play. Tweeks defense and how he maneuvers throughout the stage is ridiculous, and Leo's awareness and ability in this match to not only catch diddys bananas and peanuts but also use them for intricate setups and kos is actually mind boggling at times. Both of them played absolutely amazing, but ultimately tweek didn't finish it quickly enough and if you let Leo adapt or get comfortable with your character it's basically wraps. Seriously crazy set.

Hbox is really good at commentating. He made an already amazing set, even more amazing. Great stuff from Hbox, hope he commentates more often

[@jonathanlgill]

One of Ultimate's greatest sets.

[@sasori670]

Leo only lost two stocks in the last 3 games. I mean you talk about turning it up a notch, that man ascended mid set

[@zackbucheli9]

This was one of the most incredible sets I've ever watched. These two competitors are absolutely insain to watch

Mkleo sticking to his fucking character got him the win. Although mkleo wasnt in my favor I'm proud of that dude and he deserves the w

[@kciref6016]

THE KING!! THE ABSOLUTE ABSURDNESS OF THIS SET!! OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS JUST SO AMAZING!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

[@Punisher-qe6kp]

The fact that Leo got the download on Tweek's last boss DIddy to reverse sweep him was just the absolute most insane thing ive ever seen. With how lethal Tweek's diddy is, I honestly didn't think it was possible. The matchup seems so hard for byleth, AND Tweeks diddy looks near impossible to beat for just about ANY character regardless! Just completely blown away. These two are so far ahead of everyone else its not even close, but Leo is truly and undisputedly the goat of Smash Ultimate.

[@Lucentis]

Here is my observations as playing Smash at a couple venues. -Tweek was more concerned using the Banana to his advantage and Leo using it back in such a manner was not seen coming. After losing 2 games, Leo already knew the patterns of Diddy. It's the equivalent of going online and rematching the same person and expecting them not to pick up on habits. -After aerials, Leo tends to shield right afterwards if the opponent is shielding or gets close to the ground if it doesn't hit. This could be punished by grabbing,but sometimes people don't notice patterns. -What separates mediocre smash players and good tournament players is that they use all of their kit and instead of the same moves everytime.everyone. -Leo rarely did offstage shenigans unless it was guaranteed like his recovery earlier. Both players were concerned on getting back on stage rather than securing a kill off stage by taking risks. -More I watch, I more I pick up on psychological patterns and actions both players take such as shielding and dodging.

[@blueknight8079]

"This could be punished by grabbing,but sometimes people don't notice patterns." It's not that they don't notice patterns, it's just that Leo is so good at conditioning his opponents that, when they think they got his habits down, Leo starts adapting and using the conditioning he already established to mix them up and make them second guess themselves. I'm not saying you can't exploit Leo's patterns but you gotta be aware that he'll change the gameplan ON THE SPOT if he catches up to what you're doing. You better are as good as he is at adapting and conditioning or you'll get yourself 3-0d and 3 stocked.

[@theexaltedlt8222]

This also was a character matchup up too. If you noticed tweek didn't get a lot of banana down air because of Byleth's tether

まるでEVO 2019を彷彿とさせるようなアツい試合。相性を踏まえた上で自分のキャラにできる対策は何か、そして冷静に試合の流れや相手の動向を見定めることが勝負事においてどれだけ重要かを改めてLeoから教わった。間違いなく彼は今、世界最強の名を冠するに相応しいプレイヤーだ。

[@ezrabrownstein3237]

I don't think there's ever been a top player in smash as dramatic as Leo. It's like it gets to game 4 and you're beating the final boss of a video game and then the REAL music kicks in and the boss rolls you.
