Leo pulling out Joker against you in bracket is literally the equivalent of a secret final boss that you can fight after you beat the game
Leo's Joker is like a super boss imo, akin to Lingering Will in KH2FM.
You're foreal input some obscure command and you're taken aback
*One Winged Angel plays
And you don't even get a chance to save.
So you'll have to fight the main boss again if you lose.
@@MistaMasta420 And if you lose again in grand finals you lose your entire save file and have to replay the game from scratch in another tournament
Mkleo plays joker again
Other top players:
"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"
Dabuz: picks minmin
Leo: and i took that personally
I read it with the original voice... that was so crazy XD
Dabuz’s tweet was hilarious after grands in Smash Factor 9
Proto: *Picks minmin*
Leo: I sleep
Dabuzzy: *Picks Minmin*
Leo: *wakes* real shit
@@kimoota-kun what did he tweet?
Leo’s Joker is his most stylish character he plays. I’m glad he pulled out Joker again
It's actually crazy, no one is questioning Mkleo skill anymore when Joker first came out and he started winning tourneys with it, everyone putting him in Top Tier.
Omega and Naitosharp has been practicing Joker longer since Mkleo dropped him, but they still aren't moving as fast as Mkleo does.
Now Mkleo picks up his joker again and he is schmoving faster than they could playing him all day everyday.
Even after the Arsene and gun range nerfs, it doesn't matter.
Mkleo is just THAT good.
I think his byleth, for the movement byleth is giving him, looks very smooth
@@Scythra Zackray also optimized him and then went on to main 6 other characters just because
@@nathanlevesque7812 yeah and Zackray went on and play Pokémon Unite over the favor of Smash, just because? Is he coming back? No one knows.
@@Scythra I think Joker is top tier, but not enough to undo how much skill he takes. Leo's Joker is just pure skill, though. Terrifying how he took two stocks off another top player in the world *without using Arsene.*
That fact that he can just fall back on Joker and then 3-0 practically any Top 10 player he wants to is almost scary good, lol
Not sure if this is true. The only time Leo consistently goes Joker any more is specifically for Dabuz; furthermore, just his Min-Min. This level of Joker is the result of a lot of recent offline practice and I'm sure Leo can beat other players with him, but to imply that it would be a 3-0 against practically *any* top 10 player is a little absurd. If this were the case Leo would likely start Joker against more players or at the very least switch to him after losing with Aegis/Byleth, but he does not. Not discrediting Leo, but literally at the start of the video it's stated that Dabuz has beaten Leo one single time and historically Leo dunks on him with Joker.
@@defaultskinhennesy not sure if your comment is necessarily true. Times mkleo has kept his joker polished he would reverse three o the then second place tweek almost effortlessly. sometimes 3-0 the challenger on the winners side on his way to a undefeated tourney win
The way Leo plays joker gives me melee vibes with how insanely optimized his movement and gun usage is. Not even in a melee movement way, but more so in that he plays like a fucking tas.
If Leo's motivation was purely to win, he would've probably stuck with Joker forever. He only changed characters because he wanted to have fun as well, which is legit. It's not like it stopped him from winning.
TRUE
Yup, he wanted to try out his other characters in tournament and has still garnered around the same succes. As we saw with his ROB, any character he puts in the practice with, he might eventually use them in tournament and can actually win with them.
Here's to hoping we can one day see the Marth again.
I'm not positive about that, Leo just didn't like to play Joker anymore as he is a mentally exhausting character to main like Sheik is and his competition just became better as well (ignoring Marss and kinda Tweek too). Dabuz and especially Proto literally forced Leo to re-main Joker back as he had no clear answer against Min Min
I disagree. Joker isn't that kind of character. Don't get me wrong, played to his best, Joker is virtually unbeatable. Problem is, playing Joker at his best is mentally exhausting and mechanically demanding. It is not easy to play Joker to his top potential game after game. It is SO much easier to do for Byleth. Even Pythra as they're much simpler characters.
Joker is amazing and has tools to deal with almost everything. Problem is, he doesn't have a game style to deal with almost everything. There's a great video on why top tier Joker solo mains are basically unheard of so this isn't my god-level analytics or anything. And to paraphrase, there are gonna be games or playstyles where the Joker just doesn't have a good flowchart of x-y-z. The guy shows games where Leo is trying stuff and it just isn't working and he can't seem to figure out why or what to do. And you often have to work pretty hard to get your kills as Joker, and when he's in those positions you can see him struggle
It was because of COVID and the online tourney era. Joker is very different online. He loses the ability to apply insane pressure with his speed due to the delay
Leo's joker is peak ultimate, there is nothing that has ever compared. I feel like he plays other characters just so he can have more of a challenge.
He really does, as someone said before, if his motivation was purely to win, he would always use Joker, but he wanted to try out other characters he has fun with and still manages to garner around the same success. Like realistically, he could probably win a tournament with half the cast if he puts practice in to them.
@@MarioStickMan12 He also said Joke requires more work/precision, im glad he brought him back out. The way he plays him is insane, no one else has a joker even close to his.
Despite disliking Minmin, Proto's adaptation and level of focus and maintaning composture, damn I love that man too, looks like Japanese Leo hahaha ngl
I may be talking out of my ass here, but I distinctly remember hearing him say he felt robotic with Joker. He knew what he had to do and as long as he did it, he'd win, and it wasn't fun for him anymore.
@@MarioStickMan12 This seems to be a running consensus with a lot of people but it's just not true. Mkleo is pretty much always playing to win, and just because every dumbass puts Joker at top 3 because everyone else does despite horrible winrates and virtually no representation doesn't mean that if Mkleo "purely" wanted to win he would solo Joker. He definitely plays other characters for fun for certain, but it's not like he ever thought Byleth was unviable--he always thought Byleth had the potential and he capitalized on it. He himself has said that aside from fun factor from other characters the primary reason he doesn't play Joker more is because he's extremely exhausting to play and one of the most mechanically difficult characters in the game. Playing long drawn out tournaments with lengthy loser's brackets as solo Joker would probably take the steam out of Leo, and all of this isn't even mentioning Joker's struggles with a lot of other meta matchups. He plays other characters for fun, but it's almost necessary to have a secondary or more if you play Joker for both matchup coverage and maintaining mental.
Seeing Leo play Joker just is a different vibe dude
It feels like you're going up against a Force of Nature.
Smash is dead lol
@@johnnycage6676 man shut yo bisass up
Sick thumbnail Larry. Made me even more hype for Mk's Joker.
I completely forgot about this tournament, and I went on a break from gaming and YT. Now I gotta catch up to all of this craziness XD! Leo's Joker returning is INSANE! I can learn a lot from these videos
Dabuzz taunted and i legit think that kinda set leo off lol he was like ok bro i got you then
He poked the beast too much.
After a run of missing top 8s, Dabuz’s results have been quietly, consistently brilliant recently. 4th at Low Tide City, 4th at CEO, 4th at Double Down and now 2nd at smash factor 9! 😳
Dabuz has really been building a good case for being Top 5 at the moment with Leo, Light, Acola, and Gluto. Only person who I think beats him out is Tea imo, for outplacing and beating Dabuz at Crown 2 and DD
@@theimpersonator7086 it's kinda interesting how spargo takes a short break and he's out of everyone's radar so soon
@@Senayoshy Sparg0 himself has said on Twitter that he wouldnt rank himself in Top 5 due to his hiatus, and that he unfortunately won't be a back for a long time. Personally I would give Sparg0 an honoray 1.5 with all that in mind.
@@Senayoshy nah, you just don't count who isn't active. Not like we forgot about him lol. Tweek stopped going to the majority of majors as of now so people don't rank him even tho many people still have him top 5 or 10.
Now just imagine being that good and consist, most likely a top 10 player in the world, and getting spanked hard by the best player in the world. I mean there is about as big a gap between Leo and debuz as there is me and debuz. That was not close. Leo is too good.
Leo's Joker is a work of art, so happy to see Leo pull him out again!
Dude the fact he's been using byleth all this time rip. Also poor Dabuz he talked about how much he grinded and practiced just for there to still be a huge fuckin canyon between him and Leo feels bad
Sadly; in the Smash story of being the best, Leo is the main character while everyone else is just there for support.
Other than Sparg0, Protobanham, Light, Marss and a few others; he doesn't really have a clear rival that he can't seem to beat or demon that he can't slay.
@@geckosethpe Leo shits on like basically everyone you listed
@@spreadwuvokay he wins, but he does not shit on them tho, like marss, spargo and proto have won grand finals against him
@@nesp8207 the last time marss won vs leo was genesis 7
@@nesp8207 Marss is 8 to 11 on leo
8:31 Live footage of Larry eating his own words.
It's so nice to see his joker again I haven't seen some smash like that in awhile
When even Larry thinks Leo’s joker was disgusting, that’s how you know Leo’s joker is way beyond anything any other top player can accomplish
It's very good but considering there are literally only 2 top level Joker players left it's not as impactful and Marss's Joker is also extremely good. I wouldn't say that his is necessarily better but not way below Mkleo's
This video is literally the only context I've ever seen to warp "disgusting" into a compliment
@@alessandrobozzi7085 It can more or less be used interchangeably with nasty. Like for example if someone says “that combo was nasty” it’s a compliment
@@defaultskinhennesy Marss joker is by far not as optimized as his zss
for example at the gimrvitational he often uses fsmash reads instead of nair 1 confirms and his gunusage still needs some work but movement-wise he is definetely close to leos
probably bc garbage girl has a similarly fast style like him
@@SonGohan-fx3vb
Thanks for clearing it up!
NaitoSharp and Omega practice Joker everyday. They moving slow.
Mkleo picks up Joker again and it feels like the opponents have no chance getting in attacks.
Want to see more drag down into up-smash though! So much hype again!
Mkleo has been using joker in practice sessions vs multiple top players
@@okayperson3041 Yeah. Not to say Mkleo isn't absurdly talented, but it's not like he just brought him out after not playing for months. Joker takes a super long time to play effectively and considering Mkleo is the GOAT not really a fair comparison between him and Naito/Omega.
13:12 the way the music syncs with his hits is amazing
forreal that was hype
He unleaded his persona But he barely needed it He went crazy
"No, don't die!"
I was saying the same thing throughout both sets😂. Leo is so filthy, that I was rooting for Dabuz to just survive
Dabuz: alright i beat leos aegis once with minmin if i keep up the pace i can definetely do this
btw why do i hear boss music?
Every Min Min main:
"Haha, I'm in danger."
11:02 BRO
When you win to much with one character, you switch out a character to improve yourself. Plus, MkLeo doesn't want people to figure his Joker out and probably hid Joker to make him even more optimized. Yes, MKLeo has been holding back to move forward. He's basically been handicapping himself so he can explode when everyone forgets who he really is: a Joker Beast.
This isn't some anime LOL! He genuinely did not like playing Joker for a long time.
Leo's been streaming his Joker practice sessions a few weeks after slingshot became a thing. All of it is public for anyone who wants to take the time to watch.
Larry did not pass the vibe check from Leo pulling out Joker. Bro was not hyped
Leo was sandbagging all this time and got tired of the MinMin bullshit
I just wanted to give some props to whoever made the thumbnail for this video. It's pretty damn good. It caught my attention easily, and once I saw it was a video of the GOAT, Larry Lurr, I was 100% convinced to click on the video
Honestly what a treat. So cool to see that happen
15:25 suddenly lumas get all the rage XD
It was so nice to see that again. Felt like we went back in time. Almost wish it went to a game 5 for the hype level
Dude I swear leo has 3 jumps. There’s no way his movement is like that. He’s wild
I know everyone wants to talk about the Joker, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Byleth right?
it literally feels like leos sandbagging by not picking joker.
It reminds me when playing final fantasy VII for the first time, I found emerald weapon underwater... I was around level 50 and thought "oh, I can beat him..."... I was destroyed...
Leo playing like a sadist this tournament
Bro had the boss music playing when joker came out 💀💀💀
Larry finally catches up with tournaments
Watchinng Leo play joker is amazing. There's so much finesse in his movements, fucken smooth
Holy smoke… feels so nostalgic seeing leo with joker again
Last time Leo busted out joker it was NOT this clean! He has been in the shed for sure!
Even if he never played Joker ever again I feel like I would never get tired of watching this set, that's how entertaining Leo's Joker is
Dabuz seems to have trouble adapting mid set to situations he hasn't labbed out before. I empathize 😂
Leo is dominant in Ultimate like Armada was in Melee. The fact that he can just pick up new/different characters, then return to one of his classic mains and WRECK SHOP. Masterful. Love how aggressive Leo’s Joker looks.
I saw this Live and felt bad for Dabuz yet at the same time was jealous he got to bask in the glory on stage at a main event... Must've been a real honor.
You said oh my lord sounded so funny lmao you was like why ? Lmao
Even though I'm a fan of his Byleth, I can't lie and say that last game on winner's finals and the whole grand finals weren't completely disgusting.
Leo pulling out the Joker is like Rock Lee taking off the weights.
I hope to see Mkleo's joker at super smash con!
Well I guess you could say, You never see it coming.
Leo said "you got one game. Thats one too many."
Leo: *wins game 1*
Dabuz: YOU’D TRIGGERED MY TRAP CARD
It’s nice to see that Leo’s bringing his Joker out again
Ever since mkleo stopped playing joker I told my brother I think he stopped till after they stopped patching the game so he doesn’t get nerfed 🤣
Those sets were beautiful
No one goes 16-1 with Dabuz and gets away with it
The Return of the King 2.0
I feel like Leo just wanted to go home. He was tired of the tournament and wanted it over as soon as possible.
There is also the fact that this was in his home country and he was the last Mexican player in the winning bracket (iirc), I wouldn't be surprised if he felt like putting on a special show solely for that alone.
Leo using the reverse hair color Pythra skin is so savage
Proto woke up the Ancient Weapon!!
Well Said
Love to see it.
Definition of download complete
Larry: I think Dabuz's Rosa has a chance!
Me: Looks at video title
Feels like Dabuz is Vegeta to Leo's Goku
He can grind all he wants to stay close but he can never surpass
You should watch the insinaroar match on wadi that was awesome!
Rosa can jab with luma while in shield!?
Sick thumbnail btw
As a Joker Main...this Puts a smile in my Face...Now i can learn more
Literally how I feel. He redefined the Joker meta.
Good to see leo picking up a new character like joker i always thought he would be good at that character
I feel like Leo had a little grudge against the taunt
Leo doesn't play joker to give the world a chance
Characteristic of a true Alpha.
I dont think there will ever be anyone as dominant as MKLEO. He’s like the patriots dynasty of smash bros
Looking cool joker.
Seriously, Dabuz won a single game and Leo stopped messing around and decided he wanted to go home early
Right when I got all into P5. So fitting.
Dabuz got sauced
Larry Lurr
I love that Leo basically pulled out Joker cause Dabuz taunted at the end and taunted after each kill lmao
Leo Joker to the moon and beyond
mkleo is so cool. what a legend.
Outro's song? Is from Persona 5, am I right?
yeah, "tokyo emergency"
He said he's tired of not being the best in the world 😆
Desu desu desu ten hours music
The fact that Dabuz is one of few players alongside ESAM to lure Joker out says something.
I feel like with Dabuz, it was more that Min Min lured out Joker. Leo staying as Joker for the rest of the set was just to ensure Dabuz didn't switch back to Min Min.
El Joker
why did leo drop joker in the first place again?
I can proudly say I have gotten bodied by Leo's Joker before.
I'm a rosa main and you would not catch me dead playing her against Aegis at a local, let alone vs the best player in the world. Absolute nightmare matchup that she should never be able to win. Lowkey worse than the Belmonts
Bair bair>sd I really thought it was when I first saw it too
My question is, who is gonna contest against Leo's joker now that Nairo and samsora are out of the picture? and Zss got nerfed into oblivion so Marss is no longer a factor. We're all doomed!
We are not even going to see Leo's Joker that much, despite the fact that many of us think that it is his best character, Leo does not seem to have the intention of returning to him as his main, he will be a secondary for some matches like Min Min which is definitely better choice what an Aegis or Byleth.
welp, we have Sparg0's Cloud...
this is slingshot joker yall
Leo's joker is looking good. It would've been a insult if he did that taunt at the end. If Leo keeps going into the lab with his joker and keep knocking off the rust. His joker will be better then it was originally.
So Dominate
Dabuz needs to practice his Min Min more.
Corrin really couldn't pull it, huh? Get ready for another rise in Jokers.
What I think Leo pool for his matchup:
1) Joker for min min
2) Agis for sonic and pika
3) Bylet or Corrin or Agis for the rest
2:06 still wondering how this rosa desync works.
You can input moves with luma while Rosa is in free fall or end lag sometimes, so he mashed a during the up-b to start the jab, and since the jab was fully started before Rosa was out of lag, he inputted shield for Rosa before she could start jabbing
I wanna see marss react to this
SWT leo joker vs proto min min in grands
This only shows how broken Min min is.
Man I just want to see his Joker more. I play Pyra/Mythra, so sure it's nice when he goes them, but his Joker is just way more captivating.
