How MKLeo Became The King Of Smash Ultimate

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Evo is the world's largest fighting tournament and last year at Evo 2019 smash ultimate shattered their records and had 3000 492 entrants more than any other fighting game Evo has ever had making it a huge deal and the largest smash ultimate tournament of all time on the winners side of Grand Finals was tweek who was at the time ranked second in the world and he was up against MK Leo who was coming in from the losers side and ranked first in the world so this was the grand final everyone was hoping for and whoever won had a good case for saying that they were the best in the world as always I like to look at what these plays consider the matchup to be and MK Leo thinks that Joker slightly beats pokemon trainer and although tweet doesn't have a matchup chart out that I know of pop a and pand Aryan both top level pokemon trainers both think that the matchup is even so that's quite interesting maybe there's a slight advantage for Joker maybe not but let's check out what happened in this epic set both these characters get a lot of grabs and tweet gets a first grab here however he just misses is up here on the follow-up and then unfortunately this happens where you land a move where if you hit it you can actually get punished for it this is known as a move that is unsafe on here so even though you hit them with the move there at such low percent that they can hit you first which is quite annoying and MK Leo gets the grab off that MK Leo to the side of the stage here and tweak thinks that M Kelley was going to jump out of the corner so he goes through this big 4 day however M Kelly actually does this down to out of the corner which is a very good option because it actually moves him along the ground and is tweaked was due on the ground in shooting this down - it would actually go through to reach dude and cross MK way up to the other side so he's able to get stage control as tweak comes down from the air and Kaleo also just rose again to get even further towards center stage so when tweek lands on the ground em kellyo is now at the center a great switch right there because you know MPLA hope you get so much mileage out of that continuation and here there's almost nothing m'kay Leo can do the massive Ivysaur down air catches Joker's arse and recovery of course when he doesn't have us in he can just use the tether recovery to come back which is a lot safer so you would almost rather not have a sin against Ivysaur if you think you're gonna get knocked off stage because Ivysaur can do this down out all day beautiful here to try and land tree goes through the neutral air dodge however em Kelly was ready for it and hits it at the 4 there you see tweek come down with this neutral air dodge a lot because it's a very strong option however em Kelly uh knows it's a strong option and gets this huge punish off it and goes for the infinite with these uh pairs however luckily for tweek pokemon trainer has a frame one option which is to switch Pokemon faster than trying to get out an air dodge and so he's able to escape this combo before he dies and here's a pokemon switch coming in again as tweek switches to Charizard to help him get off the ledge and now he's going to be able to live longer that he's a heavier character however m'kay live fishing for this first hit of landing forward air because it does this gets him to kill and it does not matter if your Charizard or squirtle you were dying to this combo now m'kay Leo has arson again and tweaks on squirt who have a when he's off stage he switches to Ivysaur not only does this help his recovery but now it also means if he knocks em killer off stage he's able to try and get that out I've you saw down here again doesn't get it to land this time and you can see immediately em killer double jumps off the ledge and go straight to center stage he does not want to be messing around near the ledge while he has this terrible recovery because he knows that it is very likely for him to get down in and even just at old times double jumping to center like this is a good option because you do not want to be stuck in the corner and near the ledge this time when Tim Kelly jumps and then double jumps from the ledge tweek doesn't want em killer to take the center stage so he runs all the way back so em killer has take this position in the center on reaction but at least four tweet emptily it doesn't have center stage now week simply catches em Kaleo being a bit overly aggressive here which leads to this up B and he still got him off stage now and just look how long em Keller has been stuck on this side of the stage simply because tweet didn't let him just double jump to Center however tweak eventually gives up this great stage control he has going for the hard read on the edge guard thinking M Kelly who's gonna go low however M Kelly is simply added just to the ledge and now that tweak has lost this great stage control he ends up getting back head however tweet just comes down and gets the immediate grab and it evens the game right back up and M Kelly has started to be a bit overly ambitious with his grabs in neutral I think he thinks he constantly has the read and Tariq is able to just hit him in the face for running in and trying to get this crab and now here's that down to out of the corner and tweek actually shields at this time but look how good it is it's able to get him killer to the other side of tweak and get some stage control it straight away very weapon you can see the arson is out so tweak switches to the RV saw if the arsons out the Ivysaur is out tweaked once those down is however M Kelly catches this neutral air dodge this time by tweak then catches the air dodge to the ledge and he thinks tweak is going to have to up B and go the ledge so M Kelly throws out the counter however tweaks do had another jump and is able to get straight to the ledge and now he has stage control and layer is in a very dangerous position M Kelly ago so the option he did before where he tries to double jump over and get to center stage he does not want to be in this position however tweak is ready for it goes for the huge jump up here to catch em Kelly's double jump off the ledge so there was one time that game where tweet gave up his stage control to go for a big edge guard and died for it and then M Kelly oh did the same thing giving up stage control going for a big edge guard when he didn't have the right read and then he ended up losing game 1 for that and here again M Kalia commits to this back here and he ends up just getting down it for and he dies so far in this say it has proven that you are better off maintaining stage control and going for safe edge guards because every time they've committed to a hard read on the edge guard they have died for it there's that switch coming off the ledge from tweak again nowhere and we know Leo to be the guy to pull the trigger out of nowhere like that sweet and however eventually M Kelly or Lance is landing for there again and that is a guaranteed follow-up and a guaranteed kill here twig hits M Kelly off stage however he keeps his stage control and Kelly who tries to force his way back on and tweek is ready for it tweek also calls out this double jump M Keller does to get center stage you can see em killer is obsessed with getting stage control Heather tweek is spaced and ready for it and here again M Kelly he does not want to go all the way to the ledge he wants to land on stage tweek is ready for a - backs and charges F smash he has the hard read on M kaleo's landings and this switch right here from tweek is just in saying M Kelly goes to the down bay he expects he's gonna get hit in the face tweek just switches to Charizard and immediately gets the up smash kill tweek is playing insane right now M Kelly Oh once these grabs in you true again however tweaked-out spaces it again gets the landing forwarder and it gets the hit tweek then just catches em Kelly Oh dashing into this back here M killer is just simply playing a bit too aggressive in neutral and it is not paying off there's a segrete of landing from M Kelly again however this time he's lucky enough to get the spot Dodger but either way tweek was ready for it he just misses his crab MK Leah tries to double jump back onto stage twee kids it with a Down air and Kelly then tries to short hop toward center stage but once again tweek is just not letting em Kelly gets in a stage and that is the story of these first two games against week gets off the ledge with the Pokemon switch and now he is onto Charizard making it a much easier time for him to get the kill as you can see here as he gets this big forward to - sweet so now tweek is up two games in the withers side of the bracket here is in great position to become the 2019 IVA champion and has a great argument for himself to be the number one player in the world however if you might have seen this before ma ke Leo goes super saiyan mode but what actually did he change in these last three games so he was able to pull off an incredible comeback while trying to figure out what M kellyo changed I counted every single role tweak and MK leo did in this set these are the roles both these players did in these first two games we just saw this does not include roles straight off the ledge and does not include roles while the other person is invincible and you're just trying to escape these are just roles that happen while you're playing neutral so you might think M killers rolled a little bit more than tweaked maybe he stops it because roles they're not very good in this game no in this next game M Kelly er rose 18 times while tweak only roles for so now you're going to be able to notice how MK leo uses so many of these roles and why they work so well compared to if I told you after the game so now that you know this let's go take a look the first adjustment MK leo makes is to not run in aggressively and get hit in the face he is playing far more patient using more shield and with punishing tweak for making the first move here's tweak using that double jump off the ledge MK leo was also using it's an option a lot of top players use which I don't see a lot of mid or low level players using a lot of mid-level players will simply jump an area or jump and air notes from the ledge top level players often use jump and their double jump it changes your momentum it puts you in an awkward spot for your opponent to hit and it is a great way to catch your opponent off guard and get down from the ledge this is a very close high percentage of stock right now look at how safe em Kalia is playing though and it is this this point right now where the rolls begin you didn't get it okay before Twinkies even able to landing area here and Kelley arose to Center a lot of these ropes em Kelly does to get center stage there's the double row to center stage another row to center stage he does not stop with these robes rolling to get on the other side of tweak and get this down to it to catch these landings these rolls although they may seem silly they have come out of nowhere at a very high pressure tournament in a very high-pressure situation and this crazy change to gameplay out of nowhere is what is making these rolls so effective even against the top top player like tweek and eventually probably on roll number 12 tweek actually catches one and gets this up throw kill and as I covered in my escaping from the corner video a lot of people will roll from exactly where they are and it is easy to out space it and punish it as you can see here M Kelly runs a little bit forward before he does the roll so this for their M Kelly is on the other side of it whereas if he rolled directly from the corner this forward air would hit him straight in the face and here again the patient's M killya goes for a spot dodge tweek commits to an option in neutral and that is how M kellyo gets the grab he's not going for the straight up run up grabs in neutral he is getting them by playing patient and even though this roll already gets him center stage and clear rose again to get more spacing so he can continue playing patient holy suffocating it with this play I mean oh well keeps changing the question and that is a great commentary point from Kearney they're saying that tweet doesn't have the answer because Larry keeps changing the question we know that he has changed the question he has just started doing these roles out of nowhere and so the answer is for tweak to simply be ready to out space and punish them but that is a very hard thing to do against M Kelly o who is a top player and he's doing these roles very strategically and out of nowhere in this high-pressure situation tweek is not ready and there we go M Kelly hits another landing for there and this is going to be enough and M Kelly o wins his first game in Evo Grand Finals and now this is the infamous game for you can see M Kelly are going for the rose again tweek hits the shoe done safely and Kelly ER with the patient's gets the punish now M Kelly is about to get us in so I guess what tweek wants to do switch to IV saw however ankle arrow is ready for it now and gets this back here M Kelly is still using these roles to get to center stage you can see he lands right in front of tweek but immediately goes for the road to get behind him and then when he gets it up to the other side of the stage he gets off the ledge with the roll then immediately rose again to get back to Center but then you know this roll off the ledge was kind of just one too many tweek is now caught on gets this big forward to and now he gets this NER into double up here and this is big damage and it looks like tweek is running away with this now tweek has M Kelly with the ledge here these are some great ledge traps what way I was just jogging I don't know if Leo's gonna be able to come back from them what he needs to do you cannot let up when you have any sort of moment and he gets the forward to to frame on that arson recovery you can see that is why it can be a pain to have that recovery sometimes and now M Kelly is down one stock to three if he loses this match he loses even more stock to win Eve up three kids and Kelly with this four there and he must predict that M Kelly is going to try and double jump after getting hit by this four there and tweak goes up for this up here but and Kelly went straight to the ground and he's able to get this drag down up here to up smash which actually gets the killer even though there was no sparks there might have been a bit of bad di there however tweak is Stu up two stocks to one he is in a good position shake it confidence a little bit of 48 Azzam M Kelly in the corner here however he plays it pretty safe nutria into a media shield and then does that down to again when he's in the corner to escape and it actually hits tweet goes to this mix-up we saw earlier where he drifts one way does the neutral air dodge as he drifts the other way M Kelly is so ready for it he goes for this big down here to get the punish however he misses the up air follow-up but he keeps it going gets the grab tweak once again he's trying to switch to Ivysaur and M Kelly says no way gets the art in back here which Q is slow early and once M Kelly gets this grab he is straight back in this game with his huge combo tweak tries to escape midway by going to squirtle because he doesn't want to get tossed around as Charizard but it does not matter he goes for this mix-up again where he goes one way in neutral air dodge drifts the other way M Kelly a punishes it again and this is when you've got to think the nerves are kicking in a bit for tweak you can see him roll from the corner here however M Kelly has great spacing and so he still has center stage this is what tweaks should be doing back to em Kelly a tweet goes for the roll again however em Kelly against the neutral air and now it's M Kelly is turned to do the road he's in the corner he doesn't want to be heroes and he gets to center stage and even this situation I'm Kelly Oh mrs. the back here they're both really close to each other in the other corner guess where I am Kelly Oh wants center stage she rolls straight to it an M Kelly was just keeping tweak in the corner with his fantastic spacing and that is making the biggest difference right now he tries to roll straight from where he is in the corner he doesn't run forward first and Kaleo the spacing again he's ready for these roles this is what tweek needs to be doing to M Kelly oh look at how perfectly spaced am Kelly I was playing however great adoption from tweet here as he just runs out the corner and goes for the fearless grab he gets em Kelly off stage and goes for this massive down there which if it spike tweak would be the Evo champion right now however it doesn't M Kelly is ready for the tag because M Kelly in the list up here gets the forward three off stage and now M Kelly is at 126 and he has the bad recovery tweet just misses his timing on this forward - and even though it seems like he was ready and perfectly spaced for this role he must have been second-guessing himself the nerves must have been getting team or something and he misses this forward to on the roll which also would have crowned tweet IVA champion and M Kelly is able to roll again to get to center now tweak is freaking out he tries to do his own road to get to Center but as we can see M Kelly oh he has been ready to punish these roads with his spacing he gets the landing for there and gets the up air I whale has are sent out this could go either way oh and there's the big difference maker coming in again this game even though tweek only did three roles that entire match MK leo was ready to punish them and MK lira in turn had 12 rolls for that match and he was barely getting punished and just a bit on the mentality of these two players tweakers known to crumble a bit under the pressure in comparison to M Kelly who has a very strong mentality and in an interview I saw of him after this set he had kind of just accepted defeat after the first two games which is kind of an interesting look on it but Atman he didn't really have any pressure on himself whereas I'm sure tweek was thinking although if I lose this game five now I was so close to winning Evo I might get reset M Kelly oh he's gonna beat me I'm not gonna be first all these things are probably running through a twigs head and a kind of mint this game five did not go his way and now for something we haven't really seen from tweak this entire set doesn't been rolling much and now these roles come out however as we see from M Kelly a lot of his roles are to center stage and to get stage control but these rows from tweak seem to be a bit more panic because look at these heroes away from center and to the ledge which doesn't really make much sense honestly so I think that is a bit of the panic starting to set in and these roles are not great and here's the role again by M Kalia lands and immediately double rows that you can see tweak must know that these roles are happening because although he didn't have the perfect spacing that MK Leo did to punish tweaks roles tweak immediately runs in to get the four there but if he's spacing was better in the first place he would be able to get a much better punish instantly on these rows there's this landing again from tweak he's not really mixing it up with this neutral air dodge and M Cal air punishes it again much more how we get it to lecture and that's what I'm talking about look at that spacing tweak tries to roll MK leo says no away tweaking now goes for that pokemon switch mix-up however with us and Bacharach so quick M Kelly hits it and MK leo is just going to run away with this now and then he fights another energy reserve to bust out have to see if he does it here because Leo he's coming out of the full force right and I mean I don't care how good your mentality has improved losing game therefore like that have to feel horrible man and yeah once again I agree with these commentators that was sin pi there she's just saying no matter how much your mentality has improved if you're losing game for like tweak did in that last match that is going to affect you greatly and that is what was the biggest determiner of this game five more than anything and tweak has M Kelly in the corner here but then look at this roll forward that is definitely the panic setting in that roll made no sense and of course this is how it all ends M Kelly rolls behind tweak tweak isn't based and ready to punish it M Kelly a Chuck's tweaked up in the air tweak does this change and roost and he doesn't do neutral air Dodd she does down there but it doesn't matter M Kelly was just waiting in shield to punish this and tweak goes for that pokemon switch and M Kelly hits it with a four day week to be your 2019 Evo champion so there you go M Kelly was an incredible adaption throughout that set and he becomes the Evo champion and solidifies himself as the best player in the world and we know that he has kept this title almost a year later [Music]
