    The fact that Mute beat the best player in Japan, the best player in Europe, the best player in Mexico, and a top 2 player in the US, in one tournament is absolutely incredible

    Leo is just way more consistent than everyone else, and that’s what separates him from the rest of the 4.

      It's not just that. When all the odds are against him, when people doubt him, when all the pressure is on him and his title is at stake, Leo pushes through and comes out on top. Something that clearly the others weren't ready for this time.
      Leo is the best, not simply because he's the most consistent, but because he IS the best player and he wins where it counts the most.

      I think is just his strategy so the opponent gains confidence and grows anxious as he then plays seriously. He just fakes it enough so his opponent thinks he is close to win (and becomes hard to mentalshift once his oponents have the upper hand). Not sure why players havent figured him out yet. Pretty basic strat

    One thing that sets Leo apart is how calm and composed he is. If you look at the player cam, pretty much everybody shows signs of anxiety, but Leo doesn't seem to do so.
    More importantly, he is gracious in both winning and losing. I don't think he's ever thrown a tantrum when he lost early, and the most he does when he wins is do a fist pump. No jumping, shouting, or preening.

    I think my favorite part about Smash tournaments is seeing the interactions between the players before, during, and after the games/sets. The pop-offs are great to watch, but it's nice to see how respectful they are before and after as well. The relationships between top players, even outside of tournaments, is definitely the best thing about this game.

    I think the reason a lot of muteace edge guards weren't working is joker has Invulnerability on frames 1-25 (3-25 in air) for his recovery, so instead of staying out to try to use float-nair to interrupt the recovery, like they did at the beginning of the set , they opted to go back to stage towards the end

    Those were probably benzodiazepines that Light took for anxiety, Jordan.
    Assuming it was stress related. Amphetamines would make him much more stressed depending on what it was and how much.
    I also wouldn't consider either of them as "hard core" drugs. The latter fucked up my life for 12 years, sure. But I was abusing it heavily. Therapeutic doses are good however.

    Hi Jordan, I have a question I would like your insight on as a Smash Competitor:
    How do you deal with anxiety when competing in Smash Bros?
    For example, often when I take a stock or complete a good sequence my performance anxiety breaks a threshold where my focus breaks. I've found that "poping off" when this happens helps a bit. Maybe thats why Hbox pops off so hard.

    If Light didn't choke in the match vs Leo, he'd had made it to the grand finals and there'd be a chance for Light to secure the genesis. In that set, he had a stock lead in the third game and all he need to book his ticket was to just take Leo's stock at higher. Light would go on and fail. It didn't end there, he was also greeted with 2 losses knocking him away. 😭😭

    I was REALLY rooting for Light in this tournament. The fact that he was one stock away from grands TWICE was heartbreaking, and probably even could've beaten Ace due to the pressure and them being even in the previous match.

    Glad Leo won! It isn’t ultimate if the GOAT isn’t at the top. Great vid!

    French and Spanish commentators for smash are epic! Some of the best commentating you'll ever hear!

    I believe the one screaming on the French comms during the Mars Dabuz set is NaetorU, French pichu player, who also had a great run, beating Kola 3-0
