UFA 2023 - MkLeo (Lucina) Vs. NaetorU (Pichu) Smash Ultimate - SSBU

[@TheSuperboyOG]

That was hype, need more smash like this. No camping, close quarter combat.

[@Simon-hs7ik]

when another top player gets upset the comments were about the other player playing extremely well when leo gets upset the comments are about how washed he is

[@zate5355]

Because for other players its rare

[@extonjonas6820]

Well mkleo has been getting upset repeatedly. I dont mean any disrepaect to nateru or the palu player whose name escapes me at the moment but mkleo losing to them both in one tournament is insane. No other top player has this happen to them so consistently

[@Simon-hs7ik]

@@sebaschan-uwu it’s just an interesting observation, when leo gets upset the focus is always on him being washed doesn’t happen with any other player lol, and this has been the case since early 2022 where he got 3rd and 4th

when Tweek loses then all the comments are people acting like his therapist

[@fabianosoriani]

Pichu is so absolutely weird, lightest char in the game, damages himself every other move 😂

[@ToonGoten559]

But still powerful

[@GabuGoo]

An excellent showing from NateroU. His play was simply immaculate

[@naenaehitter3119]

Bro does not play lucina

[@omegalilbchass8270]

@@naenaehitter3119 but he does play marth, and lucina is just better marth

[@GabuGoo]

@@naenaehitter3119 My comment was not about MkLeo. It was about NateroU. Everyone is so focused on MkLeo that they forget to give credit to NateroU who worked really hard for his win. Also, MkLeo has a lot of experience with Lucina and was the best representative for the character during the early Smash Ultimate metagame.

[@lifeisoverrated7167]

[@wailmoregd140]

Pichu can definitely still put in work, especially with some optimization. Nice to see NaetorU give us a taste of that potential

[@emboar7247]

3:14 “and loohk aht that li’ol pinky towe gon’a do the finishin’ touch!” 😭😭😭

[@BladeVoltz]

I feel like a lot of people forgot that Lucina was always leo's go to against pichu players back in 2019-20. While he could've used meta knight, I honestly doubt that he's touched that character in months and he's obviously played both marth/lucina a bit more recently. So I think Lucina was the right play here but obviously Leo isn't his former self and NaetorU has been on the rise, so Leo losing here isn't really cause of character choice like a lot of people think it is

[@ErtM-vh5vs]

This ain't 2019. Lucina still has 30% combos. Pichu goes to 40% max

[@BladeVoltz]

@@ErtM-vh5vs yeah it’s not 2019, pichu isn’t a top 5 character like he was back then lmao

[@ErtM-vh5vs]

@@BladeVoltz Yeah. And pichu has 4 years to maximize their combo game and punish game. Delusional if you think hes not better over time

[@BladeVoltz]

@@ErtM-vh5vs pichu has been considered mid tier for 3 years now. The character ain’t that good lmao. Those nerfs hurt pichu, just cause a character has a good combo game doesn’t mean they’re good

[@ErtM-vh5vs]

@@BladeVoltz Character is high tier. One of the best neutral and adv states in the game and most def beats marcina. You most def have zero clue how to play this game if you think that shit doesn't matter. You're so far behind it hurts. Mkleos adjusting to the current meta. His entire gameplans was basically what modern day meta is. Now he has to do something else.

[@Esperanza-u7t]

This reminds me of MKLeo vs prime ESAM at GOML long time ago. Leo lost there too.

[@greedo194]

Wasn't that glitch

[@gianz2066]

Pichu is such a hard character to hit, and combine that with the fact there are barely any top level pichus to get proper matchup experience against. And you get an insane difficult match for Leo. Don't give up Leo, you'll get there with enough practice

[@beegbean1269]

Leo’s rolls were hard to watch. Glad that pichu caught on, he deserved the win

[@TerenceTanyi]

I’m not the only one that picked up on MKLeo’s new rolling habit.

[@izmizzle]

Sad to see Leo using Lucina when he said "if you play Lucina , you are more babier than baby" Sick Marth is gone, folks :(

[@rubper]

1:10 can anyone tell me how did he do that left air from the edge grab, and then neutral b in a single jump? That was nasty as hell, Leo is so good that I can't even understand how does that work

[@Fission889]

Lucina has a decent high jump & she comes down slowly, so I think that single jump was long enough to execute two moves.

[@Htiy]

Rising arial

[@lidisfernandez4595]

How did we get here... It sucks leo just lost his way, but I'll still support him and I hope he finds his way to the top again

[@kingkadegames]

He got 4th at this major, he is the goat.

Pichu: im not a joke character im a cute good character

[@0hiMark12]

never seen a matchup chart that favors lucina in this match up, mister commentator, pls

[@nathanlevesque7812]

Is the consensus really that Pichu struggles in the MU? I would not have guessed that going into this but a commentator at the end suggested it.

[@DGSnowolf]

As a marthcina main. Yeah no. Pichu wins +1. The size of pichu severely limits the neutral options you have.

[@lordtt3984]

Its basically even

[@lordtt3984]

@corgitoergosum8400 This. People forget that Leon is in France too so there's no way a clearly rusty pocket Lucina would win even if it's MKLeo

[@musettepichu]

its even

[@verde7595]

@@corgitoergosum8400 Pichu isn't even THAT small considering the ears have hurtboxes.

This was a great matchup. Props to both players, and I am glad to see Leo stick to his Lucian in this matchup. I think it was the right call.

Nah, Pichu sucks, Naetoru is just good.

[@emeraldgiss]

He is good, but pichu does not suck it is at min a mid tier

[@mateosalguero]

Naetoru gets the win over Leo and proceeds to disappear from the rest of the tournament what

[@andy764]

Leo didn't have a good time there, he was quite impatient and made many basic mistakes: overuse of high recovery, panic rolling in, aggressive without spacing. He's a top player, top players have bad time. And every match needs to be treated seriously.

[@SEBAS-97]

Ese tercer juego de MKLeo fue estupendo.😎👍

[@JadeZombie_ssbu]

Dude why am I looking at mkleo using lucina in November 2023 I understand that it may be a good matchup but he has so many other characters to play vs Pichu

[@JadeZombie_ssbu]

Neatoru played great but I am a little confused why a player the caliber of mkleo was so set on staying the same character and the same stage

[@SN-gv9zw]

only one other of his characters does well in this matchup imo and that's meta knight. pichu is rough for byleth, joker, and aegis afaik

[@JadeZombie_ssbu]

@@SN-gv9zw I know mkleos characters have a hard time but regardless even if he went Marth instead of lucina that would have been better only for the reason that the marth has much more practice and tournament hours put into it at this point in time and you are naturally inclined to space better with marth so the fact that he stayed lucina is confusing to me but then again I'm not a top player so it's hard to say wether this is a valid opinion

[@SN-gv9zw]

@@JadeZombie_ssbu marth would probably have a harder time. pichu is already hard to hit so adding precise spacing makes it more difficult. at least with lucina, sourspots are more forgiving but marth gets even less reward for likely more risk

[@JadeZombie_ssbu]

@@SN-gv9zw absolutely true but you forget its not marth it's mkleos Marth the odds are always in his favor when he plays marth

RIP smash, rivals 2 here we come

[@gizmobirdman]

Bro, is it just me or did it look like leo threw the game on purpose?? I've never seen so many back rolls in my whole life. Like *I* was predicting his options which is not good

[@HotRod3115]

I find it funny that everyone in comment section is saying leo should have played marth when playing warth would've given leo alot harder of a time considering pichu's combination of high agility, low endlag on moves, and small hurt box Even with tippers it's more trouble than what it's worth

[@eco1828]

I remember watching mk Leo’s lucina vs voids pichu….😢

[@null1806]

Que humilladon le metieron al MK Y con Pichu 😬

[@salvaserranojimenez6922]

Pichu sigue siendo el terror en el competitivo y naetoru sabe como

[@Adw-xm3jj]

MKleoからしたら持ちキャラ全部ピチューキツいし、カズヤ対策で使ってたマルスもカズヤと違ってピチューは速いから先端はほぼ当てられない。だからやむを得ず昔持ちキャラで尚且つマルスと操作感が遜色ないルキナを選んだんだと思う。カムイ、アイクを使わなかったのはそれが理由なんじゃないかな。３試合目は普通に流れ持っていけてたし、MKleoは最善を尽くしたと思う。

[@user-lr7sd1he3p]

ジョーカーなら全然いけると思ってしまったんですが、MKleoのこだわりですかね
