Honestly it likely came down more to MKLeo's conditioning rather than Prodigy being anywhere near his skill level. MKLeo has a ton of matchup experience with Marios who play the exact same. Prodigy does have an unorthodox style compared to players like Dark W., Masta, Zenyou, etc. Leo was too conditioned to the typical mario style and didnt adapt quick enough.
Yeah, people don't understand how upsets work. Just because you 3-0 the best player in the world doesn't mean you're in favor of beating someone who is probably top 20-30. I actually get mad when upsets happen because that means we're going to get a shittier next set because chances are, they're going to get destroyed.
@@SagradaMascarita Getting heated and competitive doesn't make you a poor sport, taunting, refusal to handshake, excessive shit talk is poor sport, kid was respectful. Of course hes gonna get mad hes 14 dude
Prodigy gets insta KO'ed by a recovery glitch after such an amazing 0 death and then ends up getting 0-deathed right after in return. Holy heck man I have no words.
Matty's ledge game actually is the shit though. Throughout the whole game a lot of his stocks were just good edge guards or using the ledge to his advantage
What I noticed is that Prodigy is really good at chasing people, and what Matty seemed to do is just not run away and Prodigy didn't manage to adapt to that playstyle in time.
Interesting how Prodigy fans are upset at people downplaying his 3-0 over Leo, but those same fans are downplaying Matty's win over Prodigy. Ya boi lost. Give credit where it's due. Matty's Chrom is NICE!
I mean yeah I guess, but That one Up B that spiked him changed Prodigies mindset. And It was stupid. It was luck. If they were to replay each other Prodigy would win
@@IAm-zo1bo Nah. He almost lost the first game even though he got two really easy stocks that mattyg wasn't prepared for at all. It's a bad matchup for mario and he was getting outplayed.
Officially a fan of MattyG now (partly because I'm a Chrom main and also because of his amazing performance). Oh, and he got 13th at Frostbite 2020, not too shabby.
Well he beat Leo in a manner no one else has before him so he’s still got something to be very proud of. On a side note if Leo turns it around and places first he will be an official god.
matty with the great control and mixups, and the anti-mario-fair stage counterpick like.. moonwalking(?) and was that crouch spamming on the platform? 7:43 and 7:49 some unfortunate grabs tho, and the air dodge missing the ledge.. seemsgood tho
i think leo's ego made him play like he plays, but everyone else learned prodigy's way to play and went against that, that's why leo swallowed every combo and lost 3-0 but no one else did
Slowed the video down to 0.25 speed to look at 11:34 Absolute bullshit game jank. He was 100% way past the range chroms recovery hitboxes are suppose to have. Literally none of those hits even touched Mario except the very last one when he's sucked in despite all the hits not making contact.
the last hit of the spin is the one that sucks you in and down, so it's just you not having good knowledge about Chrom's hitboxes. Also, hitboxes usually exist outside of the attack animations as well to ensure they hit smaller hurtboxes. Just look at the hitbox visualisations by UFD
@@finrodfel06 Lmao Shut the fuck up. First of all, the last hit being the one that sucks you in is irrelevant, he was out of range from the beginning and none of the hits leading up to it should have happened. Here is a link of this exact fight on the frame of impact, with an overlay of Chrom's hitboxes scaled to size and rotated, to show just how far in the hitbox would reach. The Mario was well outside of the range it was suppose to be able to reach. www.deviantart.com/somejank/art/PicsArt-03-02-03-32-29-832377099?ga_submit_new=10%3A1583138125
The pichu was nietono man's 27th on the pgr no surprise that he lost there pichu is effectively better Mario and I haven't heard of this chrom before, but he got 14th so he's really good as well also swords vs Mario is tough and the dudes 15 probs burned out after getting this far
Dont care if he lost. Prodigy proved that he will be one of the greatest players in the near future with this tournament. Since he is still only 15, I am sure the nerves finally got to him during the tourney.
@J Minor He beat MKLeo with his "one trick" so obviously he's doing something right. The saying "I don't fear the man who practices ten thousand kicks one time, I fear the man who practices one kick ten thousand times" holds very true with how well this kid does with Mario.
@J Minor well considering he's still one of the best Marios out there I'd say that's still pretty good, and not really a "one hit wonder" by any stretch. He's consistently done well. I'd say that's a pretty great claim to fame in the Smash world. What's yours?
@J Minor in that case, no disrespect intended, idk if you're aware of how hard it is to make it this big in the competitive scene. I respect playing casually but don't discredit how much pro players do to stay pro, my guy :)
I've been trying that mario combo @ 0:52 , I put the damage @ 26% on Chrom and I can't up air him in time before he lands on the ground. Can anyone else do this combo? I don't get why he can do it but I can't. I'm doing instant short hop up air and it doesn't hit and doesn't seem possible until 31%
Combo only works between 30-40%. He was at 26% and he knew downthrow would put then into that range so he could get the combo. Any percent after that up-air sends them to high to true combo it. It’ll take some time to get the timing right :)
I’m surprised prodigy didn’t use any reverse neutral b schmixes. I main mario and I do that all the time on elite smash, it’s very good for catching ur opponent off guard
People underestimate their speed and you can surprise em with their dash attack. Currently playing Chrom and loving how much speed and range he has. Hits like a truck too.
@@AbeDorf18 maybe we're having a miscommunication here, I am referring to their speed as well, which causes their dash attack to feel different than Marth/Lucina. Roy and Chrom are slightly faster runners.
...yup Prodigy's defensive Mario gets dunked on. Thought so. Cant play scared in smash, people. Especially against pros using those cheap and broken fire emblem sword bois. You're gonna get got. 11:34 yet another reason to hate those stupid f!@king fire emblem characters. So damn disgusting. Get your shite together devs, for the love of christ.
Is not a glitch, the upb of chrome touch Mario because prodigy is so close to the ledge and the water immediately push chrome off stage, simple but unexpected
This dude 3-0’d MKLeo and dipped

Prodigy does have an unorthodox style compared to players like Dark W., Masta, Zenyou, etc. Leo was too conditioned to the typical mario style and didnt adapt quick enough.
If they ever face eachother again, no doubt Leo won't make the mistake of expecting the exact same Mario stuff he gets against Wizzy
Buster Douglas all over again
ok then but did they only play one game? 🤔
