Summary of the first half of the set: Leo: "You see, when Joker gets Arsene he can easily kill a character as light as Pikachu." Shinymark: "WHAT ARSENE!?" 24:28
Damn shinymark making pikachu look like the best character in the game, still makes me a little sad to see leo get outplayed, the movement from both players was insane though
I still think Pikachu is hella broken. I have always thought this for years, regardless of meta. Quick Attack and his pancake effect are not balanced at all, coupled with his framedata and all ariels killing
I wouldn’t say outplayed. Leo played amazing but Pikachu is potentially the best character in the game. Only issue is Shinymark doesn’t travel much. Shinymark might win the main S Factor this weekend as well. Pikachu is busted as Esam says. It’s just Esam isn’t THAT level of good to show it. Mark is though.
@kevin3132 and not only did he win, he also beat #5, #7, #2, and #3 twice on his road to victory. Pretty impressive run, reminds me of Muteace's run the year prior (rip grand finals)
Ngl Leo was playing GODLIKE taking in count that Pika is on of Jokers worse match ups, and also being patience and agressive at the same time, truly marvelous, I think he can win the real even if he plays this good
That is because Pika is small as shit lol, smaller than Pichu. All of Joker's aerials are jaggedly shaped and angular, nothing hits the ground cleanly, so he misses Pika extremely often. Edit: dair works okay, and as you can see Leo uses it a lot in this mu, but it's f13 and ~-11 block (back hit) or -7 (front hit) when landing, but that's not great vs Pika, even on cross up. It's terrible from a rising sh, easy up smash. His "neutral" aerials, nair and bair, are very rough, however @@jeffersonian4
@@Im0nJupiter I know pika's small. That doesn't normally affect Leo. He's done just fine against esam's pika and dabuz's olimar, to name a couple. Also, have you played against Joker? That character does not struggle to land hits, especially with arsene active. I think Leo was just having an off day. Shiny is good, but Leo can definitely beat him
@@jeffersonian4 it did matter vs Esam, he missed like constantly and then learned to just disengage completely, that's why Esam kept getting away with mashing bair and eventually won due to slanted risk/reward. I've played against a lot of Joker AND Pika and played as both a lot too. The match up is messed up, it's very awkward for Joker and he does struggle for hits without arsene. I feel extremely carried as Pika in the mu, it's free as fuck, and great Joker players flail in the match up trying to land anything. Mark played great, of course, and I don't think this was an off day for Leo. This is how the mu goes: You swing at nothing for a chance to hit, or you repeatedly disengage. He decided not to lose the same way as he lost to Esam, and to challenge the air. It was a choice, and Leo played great and lost. Pika's just small and you need to choose how to deal with that. Edit: I think my original comment got incinerated by the filters
First set was good, but the second set was great. From Leo opening it with the through-stage punish, to Mark showing off Pika bair busted, to Leo getting a kill with Foresight (not off Foresight, with it), to Mark just locking Leo down offstage. Excellent stuff from both players
Dear lord so much toxicity and hate in the comments People hate MKLeo because he's notorious, Pikachu because they lost to pikachu or something, and each other for having different views Once again, as always, I implore - can we just watch the damn video game please
People give Steves crap for spamming minecart out of hit stun "because it is strong" (and rightfully so), but we dont talk enough about pikachu's spamming quick attack. It will get punished twice in a row, and they will STILL press it every 3 seconds because its so strong.
@@roberthamelin5637its really not a bad take, its just that considering that this comment has the added context of being on a video where shinymark beats leo, it sounds like someone bitching about their fav player losing
@@firewall5189 bro quick attack has loads of end lag and even when effective is attached to a very light character who explodes when getting punished. Movement options on small hit box and hurtbox characters is more then fair. Also pikachu has the worst ledge hang in the game and is the easiest to 2 frame so again there's reasons...
@@roberthamelin5637 look man i dont give nearly enough of a shit to get into a frame data argument with you but ill just mention that i really dont see this as that unreasonable of a complaint lol
It's the only aerial Joker has that really works vs Pika. Bair is like 45 degree fan behind Joker, you can envision it like a straight line from his leg to his dagger and towards his body, that misses the small hurtbox of Pika and whiffs unless your timing is perfect (but perfect timing is also VERY predictable and easy to parry). Nair is similar, it has to be the part of the circle that can actually clip pika, at a 45 degree angle below Joker. So dair it is, unfortunately, and when you go for your only timing mix up (which is very minus and comes out very slow relative to other aerials), you miss a lot and get punished.
The cognitive dissonance of watching pikachu get away with everything for free while being told pikachu isn't top teir is crazy. I feel like I'm getting gas lit by the community sometimes
Im convinced every pikachu hater is also a person that couldn't even win one set with that character. Impressive stuff shinymark and shoutout to the pioneer ESAM.
The only critique I have of ShinyMark is that he doesn't commit and his neutral isn't the best. There were a lot of instances where Mark could have ended a stock but you can see the clock. He likes to wear down the time because it wears down the player. But that is good for Leo because it gives him time to adjust to his movements. Like when Mark quick attacked to stage then ledge. He was trying to camp Leo, because camping is Marks best game plan against Leo.
There are a lot of good mid level pikachus and one real top pika rep. It feels extremely validating for the midlevel people who keep getting told pikachu isn't top 10 by people who don't see pika too often
Literal los leolovers son re desagradables dicen que pikachu tiene auto combos y todas esas mierdas como si la aegis de bolsillo no hiciera eso y con mucho mas abuso y joker con arsen tampoco es muy legal que digamos
is it just me or has the meta of ultimate really shifted to slower game play. I think back to mkleo vs tweek and it was just a considerably more engaging fight
when your the 4th lightest in the game suprisingly you need to play like it sometimes🤷♂️ plus thats not even the case if you were watching fr, he used his quick attack to utilize its hitbox and get combos off of it every match and constantly went off stage to contest leo, this was exhilarating to watch.
Leo would rather use back air instead of moves like up air wen he’s broad daylight above u…kinda annoying to c him miss kills if he would stop d riding back air😆 love Leo tho
Shinymark could edgegaurd Leo the whole set, but Leo could not edgeguard Shinymark. You could see each time Shinymark escaped a combo he drifted offstage because there was no challenge to it. Leo’s got to learn how to edgegaurd pika somehow, so it’s not so one-sided next time
you don’t edge guard pikachu, 9/10 of the time you lose the interaction because pikachu’s recovery is so significantly better than the rest of the cast that he can just go further out

Pikachu is busted as Esam says. It’s just Esam isn’t THAT level of good to show it. Mark is though.

Mark was on FIRE this tournament. I have never seen a Pikachu play better
It's always a pleasure to see Pikachu perform well. Great work to ShinyMark!
Por fin un comentario positivo que reconoce la habilidad de shiny
ShinyMark is hype. If he hasn't already, he's going to prove Esam right about Pikachu in this game. Busted. 👴
"Nuestro querido Leo" y "La rata". Se nota un poco el bias, pero Shinygod ftw.
Why does Pikachu have zero end lag on every single one of his moves?
Because the damage from each hit doesn't do that much. It's when it's combo together, that is what makes the damage happen
Duolingo has helped me immensely. I can understand a couple of things
Ngl Leo was playing GODLIKE taking in count that Pika is on of Jokers worse match ups, and also being patience and agressive at the same time, truly marvelous, I think he can win the real even if he plays this good
Really? I thought he was off his normal self--kept missing a lot of aerials he usually hits

Muchas felicidades shinymark
MkL couldn't find a proper counter character for Pikachu...
The casters btw did amazing... really good commenting!
Pikachu is basically a DLC character
Pika broken as hell. Love to see pikachus making strong showings because it feels so validating.
Leo so hungry for those down airs. It's got a success rate of like 1 out of 8 tries too.
It's the only aerial Joker has that really works vs Pika.

Great sets. Great commentary. This was a pleasure to watch ❤
Pikachu can really do whatever huh just skip getting ledgetrapped and hit
Broken af...did you see the way he just spammed up b even on stage lol
Spam nair out of disadvantage, up b from ledge 3 times until it lands, profit. Everything about this pika is auto pilot.🥱
cry more
