Honestly is not that terrible for Bowser, at least offline. As a Sonic perspective, Bowser never dies and that’s scary. I would say it’s obviously in Sonic favor’s but really frustrating to play.
@@bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeI used to main sonic, this mu was definitely scary. People think sonic can just easily kill but that is not the case, sometimes it's really hard for a sonic to get a kill even with spindash because people can sdi down and that will get them out of the move. With spindash not being an option his kill options are mostly back air, fair, and fsmash. As the meta evolves, even you can probably notice that sonic players are reverting to edge guarding rather than doing the basic spindash fair because people know how to get out of it now lmao. Sonic needs to work a lot harder than you think, when your down 2 stocks with him it almost feels impossible to win sometimes. Of course I don't main him anymore, but I have the muscle memory so my sonic is still extremely good.
@@Dc-pm2hi yeah, Sonic can struggle to kill after some percents, and a patient player like Leon abuses this in the mu, reverting the rage in his favor. Also in my opinion Sonic has some issues catching Bowser’s landing. You are going to trade a lot more than you wanted to, and camping Bowser is meh. I am not whining about my main, just saying there are some objective issues in the mu in which Bowser can apply his gameplay effectively.
@@bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee lol my catchphrase while fighting bowsers with sonic is "please die" while bowser is at 175 percent. Not that leon gave wrath much of a chance but the first few frames of sonics down air will still spike bowser out of his up b. Also dropping down from ledge into back air will also beat his up b
How on earth does someone keep their composure as bowser vs a really good sonic. I feel like somehow leon just convinced himself he was gonna win no matter what.
As a Sonic main I can tell you that sometimes you just wanna forget homing attack exists. Sure it's high risk (hopefully high ) reward, but if it misses, it's literally a 'Press B to die' button
@@black_deus ehhh...the thing is that the lag after a homing attack is so bad that if the opponent is good you basically get punished for free out of shield. Its even worse when you get that animation where sonic hits the floor and has that weird get up animation. I've even had people spot dodge me RIGHT as I was about to it so I'd get that animation and they punished me. I used to play in tournaments all the time and even played against some of the best and know firsthand good players don't let you just get away
I've talked to wrath about his play style. And his philosophy has always been just play normal and evasive. And even if you don't kill them, don't change it up because that will put you at risk. But this set shows that that doesn't always work. You can't let Bowser survive past 200 that many times and still win. It's just too easy for him to randomly kill you at 100
Leon is so good at remaining calm in disadvantage and coming back. Patience and letting Wrath make mistakes, big respect. Wrath played so well though, up until the last few games. He relied too much on side B and most importantly imo he didn't anti air Leon at all. Leon was just jumping constantly at the end and Wrath didn't challenge it once, he also never went out to edge guard. Great match though 👏
Dabuz lost to LeoN, LeoN lost to ESAM, ESAM lost to Dabuz, and all 3 beat Wrath. In term of games won, all 3 won 7 games, but in term of games lost, ESAM lost 4 games, Dabuz 5, and LeoN 6. So because of that ESAM is #1, Dabuz #2, LeoN #3 and Wrath #4
You don’t play sonic so you don’t understand just how amazingly wrath controls spin dash. A lot of things he does is frame perfect or knowing exactly when an activates etc. if you ply sonic it’s amazing to watch if you don’t it’s just boring spin dash 😂
@@GawdTy Sonic is just another cheesy character. Anyone can play sonic and avoid engagement and play like a pssy but, that's not my style. Im actually good at the game, and don't need a cheesy character to win lols
Sonic has got to be the most annoying character to play against. All his moves look the same, so it looks like hes just spamming. Its just repeat sonic ball coming at you from every which way. Couldnt even watch any more than one game because the sound animation was driving me crazy lmao
I don't know if people realize the amount of stamina you need to reverse 3-0 a Sonic of Wrath caliber. That was incredible from LeoN.
That‘s what i‘m saying! And don’t forget that he sd’ed in game 2. Leon just never freaks out and has one of the best mentalities in the game
@@joshuabannister8904 facts
@@joshuabannister8904 j
Wrath’s spindash is on point , dodging fires and pressuring shields
But Leon’s adaptability is on another level
let's GOO Leon! this match up is a nightmare

Win over Wrath and Dabuz. Leon said he's tryna be top 20 this season 🤌🤌
I think he's landed it. Bro has wins over people like Tea as well
He only really loses to top 15 people so he has a good case
@@willycheez7218 that was season 2 IMO he’s top 25 atm

He’s *the* bowser, he’s very good at keeping his head in the game
@@adomali87yearsago.71 it's wild what you can do with a fast character that can routinely survive past 200% with plenty of random kill options.

True, just never use off stage
@@paulgentili1425 you can use offstage as long as you're above the stage horizontal line. That's how you know if you Up B you'll make it back
Deadass your stuck in endlag and cant recover
Real sonic mains can recover safely from a bad homing attack

@@kyleflournoy7730 lmao you and I had some seeious disagreements before on there but you seem like a good dude so perhaps 🤔
This man got as much mental stamina as a boxers physical stamina
as a bowser main I really want to see Leon win a tourney
You mean like a super major? Leon wins plenty of tourney if my memory serves me right
@@Erik_Montesinos Yeah exactly
@@DFJW45 he could win a major not a super major lets be honest
@@2FadeMusic Yeah, which he has won majors, but yep no super majors that I know of.
Let’s go! LeoN is goated!

Great match though 👏
No dislikes? Guess LeoN won xD
I only disliked because I hate Coneys fake forced laughs.
Coney "What's your favorite part of this song?"
Other dude "The bass kinda goes"
*Literally no reason to laugh but still does it*
@@mrcasual9557 bruh, why are you mad about that… also, Coney didn‘t even commentate this set
That's not coney

This is my favorite commentator meta in SWT so far
Why these fighters are not using special?
as a sonic main and a bowser secondary this is really interesting
Why wrath doesn't gimp Leon with his up b offstage ? Is it not a good idea ?
the fact that Leon is in Losers is a crime
Nope Dabuz and ESAM had better game count so that’s why LeoN is in losers so deal with it
@@voodooedits785 no need to be so caustic about it, geez
Quite glad that Leon saved us from a pika v sonic grand finals
Leon is popping of rn! Keep it up my man
He’s in losers
@@voodooedits785 yeah but after a 2-1 record with one game difference. He did really well
@@voodooedits785 i hve seen u hating leon in some comments, stop doing this type of shits
@@lgamingnp3612 I’m not hating on Leon it’s just unfortunate how he’s in losers and I’m saying being in losers bracket rn isn’t “popping off”
@@voodooedits785 ic sry for my misunderstanding
why isnt wrath signed by an esports team?
wrath spaming homing sttack made him lose, also didnt edgeguard bowser properly
Nice game, but does he know what he means
*DO NOT GET CHEESED*
Wait if leon beat wrath and dabuz why he in losers?
Dabuz lost to LeoN, LeoN lost to ESAM, ESAM lost to Dabuz, and all 3 beat Wrath.
In term of games won, all 3 won 7 games, but in term of games lost, ESAM lost 4 games, Dabuz 5, and LeoN 6.
So because of that ESAM is #1, Dabuz #2, LeoN #3 and Wrath #4
As fun as Gamera is, it's sometimes to annoying taking a beating before getting a stock haha.
Well game 4 Leon is just game 4 Leo with an N.
As sonic. I HATE this matchup lmao
Are you not allowed to suicide in tourneys? Bowser had like 3 chances to win on that last match
At this level of play, the risk vs reward for a boswerside can be super risky
So glad LeoN came back from this, all sonic players fake spindash 24/7 and stall time. no skill
Boring, I can agree
No skill, hard disagree
