UFA 2023 Top 8 - MkLeo (Joker) Vs. Tea (Kazuya) Smash Ultimate - SSBU

[@Intothemind]

Leo's joker still is a work of art and the best thing to watch in Ultimate. The Byleth wasn't looking to bad either, super solid run.

I wonder if Leo's joker works against Tea's kazuya and not riddles is cause Tea's timing/reads aren't as spot on as riddles, but then that's why marth works against riddles, cause the float throws off riddles timing 🤔

His joker definitely is still up there love watching joker gameplay but I still think Leo got way more to improve with joker his joker not even his peak self from 2019 using different characters Wi-Fi era and the love for the character hindered his growth with the character I think joker as a character has way more potential it’s just not showed and Leo could definitely do it or a different joker player but might be a way longer time from now

Tea has great fundies but they kinda go down the toilet when he plays Kazuya, although it's not his main so that's understandable. Going from Pac man to Kazuya must be kinda jarring.
