Hey everyone, some timeline corrections to the video: MKLeo signed with T1 after Frostbite 2020 on Feb 26 2020 (not 2019) prior to the pandemic going into full swing in North America (fun fact we were the ones who made his team announcement video fro T1) and also defeated Tweek in the grand finals at Riptide in Sept 2021
Lmao, absolute copium from him. He is a great player but he failed to adapt to meta changes and now he struggles, it’s noticeable. Also he has a massive ego nowadays, look at his tweets post onin match ..
I think what makes Leo so special is that there’s no way for you, the spectator, to lose. I’ve talked to so many people and they often find some players or characters boring, but Leo? Not a single one. Anytime he pops up on the stream, you WILL be in for a treat. Damn Leo is down? You either see a legendary upset or more often than not, a comeback of the god. Oh now he’s winning? Well he’s doing it with so much elegance that you can’t help but be in awe. He. Is. Just. That. Good. Leo is THE representation of what the top level play should look like.
Hearing him at the end saying that he knows if anyone takes his spot he can just go back to joker is legit INSANE. WE NEED THIS ARC TO COME. I insanely miss Joker 😢
he tweeted after summit V that he was gonna prepare for the tournaments he was planning to attend later this year but not playing with pythra. I can see the joker coming out at the best Super Major because of his recent results
@@mlac9953 also the main reason he lost he said was is fault as he said it was stupid for him to think the aegis are his best character and that we even saw if he played byleth from the start he would have one or made top 8. Well he did lose game 5 with byleth he one 2 before after losing 2 with aegis. If he went back to peak Leo’s roots he would have one. Don’t know what will happen next but I know for a fact the lose and character issue will motivate him to become peak Leo again
He finally admits what many of us had suspected for a while: He's using other characters to have fun and/ or challenge himself. Even he knows that if he goes back to Joker full time he'll start to dominate.
As a smash player the documentary is very well made and gives very good context to people outside the community without being annoying to people in the know. Want to give special props to how you actually talked about ZeRo's legacy despite the controversies. Great journalism lads
On Smash 4 and Ultimate yeah but Leo on Smash 4 was the best on 2018. Melee though is more than that , its lots of storylines coming together but Mang0 is the one holding Melee itself
@@Mr.Faust3 my man went ROB against Proto at Double Down and took a set. Leo has won majors with more characters than Tweek has lost with in his character crisis. It’s insane.
@@Mr.Faust3 if you watched the set, you wouldn’t say that. Leo made ROB look like Joker, he didn’t camp at all and took it straight to Proto. And he won. I’m sure you’re trolling so it’s not an issue.
A quick correction: the first big tourney after summit for quarantine was riptide, with over 1000 players, that Leo won over Tweek in grands. Dunno how that slipped under the cracks of the vid, just wanted to mention it
3:19 Holy shit, that brings me back! I remember a bunch of our group grilling on Lazh for losing to a 'random' kid kid back then... as he started making waves later on I was amazed to see Leo was that same kid from back then... "Dale Leo~!" With the recent news on his health issues I hope he makes a full recovery.
Thank you for not being afraid to mention "canceled" players. I think it's totally fine to leave out some of the less important players that were canceled but you literally can't give a good history of Smash 4 without mentioned Zero (and maybe Nairo). I've seen some Smash videos avoid talking about Zero and others and it gives such a skewed history of the scene Awesome video! Love when you guys upload!
While we were deprived of having an epic MKLeo vs Zero rivalry, overall I feel like Zero’s life has significantly improved after all the drama and scandals, and wish him the best.
@@beastoonline1991 some issues with his ears, he said he's always had them but they've gotten worse lately, said his doctor asked him to not take any flights for now and he wouldn't be attending Battle of Z (?) And didn't know if he could make it to Ludwig's event. He made a Twitlong about it three or four days ago. Let's hope he recovers really soon.
The video could have benefited with a deeper dive into his two main characters (byleth and joker) but it was already decently long. Awesome video either way 🙏
Its nice to see that this video is giving MKLeo his flowers while he’s still active in the Smash Community. But yeah, MKLeo is truly a once in a generation gaming talent. This guy just wins even if he’s losing in the set, the Comeback King!
Great work. He is amazing as a player, very skilled , aggressive and fun to watch. I think he was the best smash4 player too in my opinion. With some of the best matches I have seen in esport.
What this video taught me is that Leo himself knows for a fact that no character is close to his Joker, and he's basically handicapping himself by not playing it. for someone who comes across as a humble player, that "no matter what i can still go back to joker and do what i used to do" speak volumes.
Well Deserved. Thanks for this. I don't even play smash and I watch his games. He's so creative, I don't even like watching tournaments without him. Another player I think is cool is Sisqui the samus player.
yea the video has a few errors in terms of timelines, but honestly i feel like they were made with the interest of keeping the video a bit more compact, and not going into "ok so leo won summit, then he won momocon, then he won smash n splash, then he won ceo, then he won evo, then he won SSC, then he won summit again, etc." before he finally got signed with T1 lol. so honestly, i kind of get that.
Isn’t wild to see how people are now just seeing MK Leo is not just “one of the greatest smash ultimate players” but is in fact the greatest ultimate player.
MKLeo is pretty much objectively the GOAT of Ultimate. Not Spargo, not Tweek, not Acola, it has to be Leo. No one has ever been as dominant as he has in the ultimate meta, he was consistently making grands in every tournament he went to for a few years. Even if the goat has fallen off, no one will ever be able to match how good he was in the early days.
honestly, id even settle for him going back to the top with solo byleth: although his joker is incomparable to anything else ive ever seen in ult, his byleth is also on a level of its own, and id be more than happy to see it return to glory as well.
Who used to think that MK stand for Meta Knight? I used to think that it stands for Mexico King. I could relate on using a Broken Brawl character when in a poverty class. I imagine a similar of story.
We mostly agree that Mexico is the best just cause of maister, sparg0, and mkleo. It kinda sucks because I see so much potential because of majors like smash factor 9, so I can’t wait for more majors in the future in Mexico to unlock the players there their fullest potential!
"I can always just go back to Joker" Me here after he wins Genesis 9... Is this a new era of Mkleo Joker dominance? Or will this age as poorly as all of Leo's doubters comments...?

If you can interview moist light that would be amazing
❤❤❤❤
i could beat him not from dad
"even if sparg0, glutonny, tweek, like anybody takes my spot I know I can just go back to joker and do what I used to do"
fucking legend
Agreed, he won't be de-throned that easily. Doubters will see
@@charliesalazar3119 crazy that he even has doubters🤦🏾♂️
I believe it, his Joker is absolutely amazing
I like to imagine his rivals thinking they got him beat
Then they hear “Joker!” And start sweating
Lmao, absolute copium from him. He is a great player but he failed to adapt to meta changes and now he struggles, it’s noticeable. Also he has a massive ego nowadays, look at his tweets post onin match ..
@@charlyy1337 what ego? you’re just talking to talk. mans doesn’t make it to grands 2 times and he’s struggling now😂

he the kinda guy to just pick up rob and make it look like thats his main he played since childhood
Yeah lol the time he won with Corrin. Not just good placement but literally won a tournament
Except his pythra is boring (which I say as a Leo fanboy)
He makes Mythra tolerable but otherwise yeah
I have a friend who went to genesis and he hated seeing Leo’s byleth because “he just does the same thing”.... I didn’t even bother arguing with him
I'm glad we have such a humble person as our #1 player
I kind of prefer Hbox energetic wrestling heel vibes.
@@YOSSARIAN313 That only activates after a crab is tossed at him
@@rayminishi689 Maryland is a weird place
He's so marketable
“I can just go back to joker and do what I used to do” my boy just recently proved that. Shit was wild when he did
Do you have any idea of where i Can find the original footage used at 15:00, it says it comes from T1 channel but i can't find it ☠️
Hearing him at the end saying that he knows if anyone takes his spot he can just go back to joker is legit INSANE. WE NEED THIS ARC TO COME. I insanely miss Joker 😢
he tweeted after summit V that he was gonna prepare for the tournaments he was planning to attend later this year but not playing with pythra.
I can see the joker coming out at the best Super Major because of his recent results
It's starting...
the rumors of mk leos demise are greatly exaggerated
pov you dont top 8 at the most stacked supermajor of the year and people call you washed
Doesn’t mean he is getting worse just others are getting better but he is still the best player by far like he is just so good
@@mlac9953 also the main reason he lost he said was is fault as he said it was stupid for him to think the aegis are his best character and that we even saw if he played byleth from the start he would have one or made top 8.

@@Quinnsula5 nah its not that deep he just needs to pick joker
@@mlac9953 no not really as again joker is out of practice but he should do joker and byleth as his to main not aegis with joker as back up
To think MKLeo started as "that one really good 15 yr old meta knight player from mexico" and is now the #1 ranked player in the world is crazy
This man Leo said “yeahhhhhh if I WANTED to I’d just go Joker and wash all you fools” 😂😂😂😂😂 goat for a reason
Ye he kinda bored right now
We really will only get someone like Leo once in a lifetime man. This guy made such a massive impact in the comp smash community it’s insane.
Everyone: "We want Joker"
Mkleo: "NO! I'm trying these other characters for fun. Now shush"
And till won while having fun
He finally admits what many of us had suspected for a while:
He's using other characters to have fun and/ or challenge himself.

Melee had 5 gods and the god slayer
Smash 4 had ZeRo and a few close rivals
Ultimate has MKLeo
On Smash 4 and Ultimate yeah but Leo on Smash 4 was the best on 2018.

@@henryreturns1397 Mang0 is more popular than he is influential
What happened to Brawl?
20:10 holy shit that was SAVAGE. But I honestly don't doubt it. Leo's Joker is a whole other demon.
He’s been playing his secondaries for years now
@@Mr.Faust3 He is intentionally handicapping himself and still winning lol
@@Mr.Faust3 my man went ROB against Proto at Double Down and took a set. Leo has won majors with more characters than Tweek has lost with in his character crisis. It’s insane.
@@aquatazer everyone has a pocket rob
@@Mr.Faust3 if you watched the set, you wouldn’t say that. Leo made ROB look like Joker, he didn’t camp at all and took it straight to Proto. And he won. I’m sure you’re trolling so it’s not an issue.
That evo match was heart breaking, you could see Tweek just crumbling. Very similar to that Tokido - Punk evo final
This video gets uploaded: Leo proceeds to win the most stacked ultimate tournament
God I love this channel. Quality content every upload. Can't wait for the overwatch 2 stuff. This channel is going to blow up again
Better than thescore
I watched EVO 2019 grand finals and came back. Wow
A quick correction: the first big tourney after summit for quarantine was riptide, with over 1000 players, that Leo won over Tweek in grands. Dunno how that slipped under the cracks of the vid, just wanted to mention it
Yeah I was so confused lmao, there was also glitch before ltc
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we'll make a pinned comment about this!
With aMSa just winning big house, please make a video about aMSa. The man deserves the respect
3:19 Holy shit, that brings me back! I remember a bunch of our group grilling on Lazh for losing to a 'random' kid kid back then... as he started making waves later on I was amazed to see Leo was that same kid from back then...

Poor Nairo man. At least he’s streaming and uploading on TH-cam again so we can still watch and support him.
ZeRo kinda won the Jizu case, then he hit the gym to lose weight, and now plays Apex and Smash
While we were deprived of having an epic MKLeo vs Zero rivalry, overall I feel like Zero’s life has significantly improved after all the drama and scandals, and wish him the best.
@@maxspecs But in another timeline these two would be dominating ultimate. But I believe leo would still be above zero. It's his game.
@@aquatazerDon’t pity pedophiles
After this performance at Ludwig's Invitational this is even more true.
Such a great smash player. I really hope his health gets better soon❤❤
What happened to him?
@@beastoonline1991 some issues with his ears, he said he's always had them but they've gotten worse lately, said his doctor asked him to not take any flights for now and he wouldn't be attending Battle of Z (?)

tough topic, not many other channels i'd be excited to see cover it
14:55 Major mistake: MKLeo signed with T1 after Frostbite 2020 right before the pandemic. He was on Echo Fox until it fully disbanded in late 2019
Not sure how that happened, we'll make a comment about this correction.
Great work. He is amazing as a player, very skilled , aggressive and fun to watch. I think he was the best smash4 player too in my opinion. With some of the best matches I have seen in esport.
I heard about MKLeo since genesis 4 and one of those smash tournament highlight videos!
This is amazing, thank you
Thanks!
surprised they mentioned lowtide right after summit rather than riptide where Leo won with a crazy reverse 3-0 over tweek before lowtide in 2021
Amazing video! I enjoyed this it was very well made!
A goat that has engraved himself into smash history el Rey de smash
this is actually a really good video thanks
I'm hoping he goes Joker again on his next tournament 🙏🏻
What this video taught me is that Leo himself knows for a fact that no character is close to his Joker, and he's basically handicapping himself by not playing it.
for someone who comes across as a humble player, that "no matter what i can still go back to joker and do what i used to do" speak volumes.
Well that was clearly a lie.
As a mexican, this man makes me proud 😊
As a Chinese, this also makes me proud.
joker mains tryna explain why they aren't mkleo fanboys
This guy is levels above the rest.
I aspire to beat him one day… he’s insane 👌
grand finals vs leo
damn that'd be hype as shit even if I'd get my teeth knocked in
Man, I wish you did cover his early journey at Smash Ultimate and process of him finding his best main (Joker)
First in person major back was Riptide. Which leo won vs tweek
Thanks for the vid
Leo just admitted to sandbagging with byleth corrin and aegis 😂
Well Deserved. Thanks for this. I don't even play smash and I watch his games. He's so creative, I don't even like watching tournaments without him. Another player I think is cool is Sisqui the samus player.
Lmfao he basically just admitted that he's nerfing himself. He can just play joker and dominate whenever he wants lol
20:08 this aged well
So the legends are true and amazing video man :]
7:51 "A long time ago back in Smash 4 in 2015 - 2016..." 😔
Great video
I wish you could've added more of his gameplay analysis
Leo is 1 day and 3 hours older than me
“I was lucky, I only got robbed once.” Badass dude
Glad to see this video dedicated to a cool dude and not that hack zero guy
Leo did not sign with T1 after he won Genesis 6. He signed with them a year later.
Yeah I noticed this too, a little bit of un accuracy in the timelines there. Still, great video
yea the video has a few errors in terms of timelines, but honestly i feel like they were made with the interest of keeping the video a bit more compact, and not going into "ok so leo won summit, then he won momocon, then he won smash n splash, then he won ceo, then he won evo, then he won SSC, then he won summit again, etc." before he finally got signed with T1 lol. so honestly, i kind of get that.
yeah , they skipped a bunch , maybe cuts to make it shorter
if i ever need a good cry, i come here. in a good way
watching this after leo only drops 1 game in the ludwig invitational 😭
Great content as always. Are you guys planning an Overwatch 2 video? (Not begging for it, just asking)
this youtbe acount derserves so much more subscribers
THE GOAT
Damn, K9sbruce was the reason for the Metaknight all along
mk coming from his brothers store is so sick
LETS GO PM
The Goat.
And its not close
Isn’t wild to see how people are now just seeing MK Leo is not just “one of the greatest smash ultimate players” but is in fact the greatest ultimate player.
people have been saying he is the best ultimate player for like 3 years now lmao
That title is so true
the moment leo won vs zero 3-0 at zero saga with his marth was the day everybody knew that leo was the best
"I know i can go back to Joker and do what i used to do" How many subs you want to make that happen? 🥺
The king will keep his thrown in ultimate, at least for some more time, you will see
The only thing I can say is that once he stops using Aegis, he'll win everything yet again
20:10 SO FUCKING RAW
You gotta do a piece on Atlas Reactor and Atlas Rogue
Mkleo “we kept playing till melee came out”
Me: sir, melee came out the same year you was born
MKLeo is pretty much objectively the GOAT of Ultimate. Not Spargo, not Tweek, not Acola, it has to be Leo.

4:19 I see Serge, I see Lucario vs Link, I get flashbacks.
Pretty sure Leo got signed with T1 after Frostbite 2020??
First tournament after Tweek beat Leo at Ultimate Summit 3 was Riptide and not LTC
Hopefully Leo has to make true on those words at some point and go back to playing Joker. Nothing in Ultimate compares to MKleo piloting Joker.
I would love to see this too but he most likely will come back to the very top with Byleth and Corrin so will see
honestly, id even settle for him going back to the top with solo byleth: although his joker is incomparable to anything else ive ever seen in ult, his byleth is also on a level of its own, and id be more than happy to see it return to glory as well.
HE LITERALLY SAID HE KNOWS HE IS SANDBAGGING LIKE
Thanks for stepping up and telling actual esport stories unlike some people lmao

We need an ESPN for Esports. Probably 2, one for fps and one for fgc. Maybe one for moba....
VIVA LA RAZA 🇲🇽
So Leo is, according to himself, not even in his final form
I remember when he was talking shit to Zero in Smash 4
Forma de Leo!

Kind of aged poorly, although who knows maybe he'll make a comeback at Battle of BC 5 and Crown 3.
Edit: He didn't make a comeback.
