Tough loss for Leon since Maister has routinely been his bracket demon. I was so happy to see him implement a new strategy and basically camp with firebreath. It worked so well, but I think Leon got a little too antsy at the end
leon is such a smart player hoooooly shit: - played around bucket by overwhelming it with fire breath spam at the exact right moments, ensuring that maister couldnt just invalidate one of his best tools with bucket. - realized that maister was starting to really adapt to him around game 3, so he played super safe in game 4 and didnt utilize fire breath all that often, trying to throw maister off his usual game plan. - went all in on game 5, playing way more risky, trying out whatever reads he could get based off of previous games (e.g. the up smash attempts), and went right back to the fire breath spam. - probably more tbh, im not a top player
yeah I mean obviously you gotta play great to almost beat maister but it seemed like he played very unsafe. Like there is not a good reason to get hit right there when he has so much space on the other side of the stage to at least attempt to go to.
As a bowser player, i just think that he also got hasty and got predictable in trying to fish for those side b's. Maybe juat trying to close out the game with a different move. Even with conditioning opponents to shield, at calliber level where they are playing, it will be a kill option the oppenent will be expecting
@@willycheez7218bro why are you in every comment section saying gnw is bad. this matchup is objectively horrendous for bowser every top player disagrees with you
This was really weird because it was almost like Maister was acting like he didn’t wanna be there for the first two games and then he just turned it on for the final three
Why does gnw down smash have 3 different hitboxes all which kill when characters like wario and fox and probably more have bad sour spots which do have terrible knock back.
It’s good seeing LeoN at this high of a level with Bowser, hopefully he can keep it up!

Well this set wasn't how anyone expected to go
Sorry late response but honestly this is exactly how I expected it to do
I did expect Maister to take the W but not in the way he did

Brah naaahh, Bowser is just rip, hope for the ebst strat lol he got downloaded and became more predictable as that rip mentality isnt discipline.
@@Turnpost2552 OK 👍👍👍👍
I may be wrong but it feels like Leon gets impatient towards the end of the game, both players played very well though.
you're right
He got a bit desperate and held towards Maister. G&W can't really kill from stray safe hits. Kinda wished he would side B Maister more often.

I feel like spectators read into mentality 99% of the time because anything else requires actual analysis
first time i muted a smash vid cuz these commentators are atrocious
Not the result we wanted but the result we expected.
This is the result we wanted actually
@@willycheez7218 Yes
Yes@@willycheez7218
Hey, bro... will you fill my bucket up with fire?
Thanks!
absolutely hate game and watch but i don’t hate the player. Glad maister was able to get the dub
Amazing set, well done both players!
Yo that last game last stock read by Maister🔥 crazy
LeoN played really well this tournament
16:00 good fucking god what a call out here from Leon.
Love seeing Leon’s bowser. Hopefully he keeps coming out. Great set.
This feels like Maister was learning the matchup during these games
11:26 Maister went demon mode holy 115 damage
Maister clutched up
An absolute battle! Last game, last stock. What a fight and what and end. Congrats to the winner
Um, does Bowser's toughguy not work against G&W rapid jab?! 18:18
At that percent tough guy doesn’t work as well, this is in addition to GnW rapid jab being able to hold bowser longer than most other rapid jabs.
maister is genuine proof that ANYONE can do it in smash !! super inspiring stuff :D
My fingers are crossed
Against bowser…
@@ZumaZoom07Yes a character that kills G&W in 2 hits what is your point
@@willycheez7218bro why are you in every comment section saying gnw is bad. this matchup is objectively horrendous for bowser every top player disagrees with you
@@mysteriousmuffin6017 The character is dog and dies in two hits
Always impressed by the commentators at smash factor
LETS GO MAISTEEEER

Losing with GnW is a choice
Just pick a sword character against G&W lol
Vale verga, soy Mexa pero la neta si quería que ganara Leon xd
X2.. Ver un top bowser es cabrón
Y el tal pollo?
Losing with gnw is a choice
Maister plays like a Melee samus.
i almost had a heart atack
That's BS. Maister played great games 3 and 4, but Leon straight up outplayed him game 5
Leon got so impatient man he could’ve easily got him
Can't believe maister stole this
Maister read Leon’s soul on that final stock
No reason down smash should sent up. That's crazy.
because its also an anti air force fast falling opponents
