Aka is just better at quickly cycling menu off stage than most hero players, and he'll always choose that than dealing with the ledge situation against MK freaking Leo haha
Leo said he learned the names of the important spells (snooze, acceleratle, zoom, psyche up, oomph, kaboom, flame slash etc) which I imagine helped a lot lol
Crazy how it makes it to where Hero just doesn't have to play offstage disadvantage, Joker gets no ledgetrapping, and you just have to keep winning in neutral over and over again while Hero can do way more damage with fewer interactions. Still a massively losing matchup lmao
@@mannya.h.967 on paper, but in reality the mental fortitude to acknowledge the luck pull from opening the menu offstage, recognizing the spell and refreshing/using it consistently under stress is a lot more mechanical and adds to the mental weight in return. also zoom doesnt interfere with ledgetrapping as you would never use it at lengths where you are close enough to play the ledge.
@@pyropeshichidan8141 It is a lot easier when you realize that it isn't luck for the most part. Aka pulls the menu at a time where he can recover either way. There was 1 time when he truly just pulled the menu and prayed because he got edgeguarded, but other than that, a lot of it was confirming Zoom and drifting out towards the blast zone to waste Arsene or quickly choosing an option and Up B.
@pyropeshichidan8141 no zoom literally skips ledge. Like say I'm playing Samus and my win condition is ledge trapping my opponent to death. Hero can simply never go to ledge as long as he rolls zoom off stage. That's crazy lol
You get a much higher chance of getting zoom when you're close to the blast zone, thats why hero mains spam menu when they're off stage and aren't close enough to ledge without getting edge guarded
Still can't believe nothing was ever done about the language barrier for Hero. Obviously Leo did fine, but even from a casual perspective not giving any kind of option for symbols or anything is uncharacteristically unintuitive of the team.
Yeah, it would be way too much work for Hero spells to have little icons... I mean it would be such a break from the series fans would be mad, it's better to make Hero even more balanced so people won't know which spell he's gonna use, even if you know all his spells 😂🎉
There's really no reason for them to have to consider a language barrier. Realistically why would an American play a Japanese version of smash. Or a Mexican play a japanese version. Smash at its core is a casual game, they don't take competition into consideration. It's up to the player to learn the different languages at that point.

@@Huckle777 hey let's give his byleth some credit. remember that time he went ultra instinct against kurama at LSI while at 160% and won? that's only one example I can think of off the top of my head but there's others like when he was suffocating Sparg0's cloud last stock of game 3(?) at genesis 8
I'm just a mid level player, but it never ceases to amaze me that people can even get this good at the game I feel like I wouldn't even be able to take a single stock in ten games with how quick they're moving
Honestly Miya will probably surpass it by the end of the year, but the thing about Leo's total major wins is that most of them are supermajors. No disrespect to Miya or anything but most of his major wins has just been from farming A tiers. The closest person to Leo's 17 supermajors is Acola's 10 I believe
@@おかし-y7h I don’t think it’s possible to match a native reader’s recognition speed as a non-speaker. Even if he’s practiced it, I don’t think the advantage is gone entirely.
@@KevSB07maybe not in neutral but it was pretty easy to tell when guy had zoom lmao. Bro pulled it so many times offstage even I started to be able to read it XD
I know this is late but its a higher likelyhood in the blastzone. With proper Menu manipulation you can get Zoom about 2/3 of the time if you know what your doing
You can never count mkleo out until he is completely out of the tournament. I have seen him reset the bracket and win the tournament so many times that it makes me question if he was falling to losers on purpose.
Random Hero thoughts, I think Zoom should be reworked, and here are two thoughts: 1. Zoom should work like Heal, where the more you use it per stock, the less it shows up. 2. Zoom should only be able to dump on the left, right, or center, but the Hero should be able to choose where he lands with that. That way, it can be slightly more down to reads and less complete luck
Random question: What if you are a hero player and you play a tourney in japan? Even more, what if 2 hero players (one japanese and one english speaker) encounter in bracket?
Ngl this is something I forget about hero sense this Hero player is Japanese and the Joker player leo is Mexican the hero had such a big advantage with the Magic sense Leo im sure doesn’t understand Japanese.
There's an added difficulty spike when playing against different region hero.... The language barrier, u just won't know wuts coming before it hits u !
What would happen if there was a tournament match between 2 pro Hero players. One of which speaks only Japanese and the other English. How could this match work if both menu's can only be in 1 language
This is very interesting cause akakikusu needs to read the spells but mkleo obviously can't. Cant really do anything but basically mkleo has to be prepared for anything to happen
@@JonnyJayKhanHe's beaten Japan's 4th best Icies (Tomisa) and one of Japan's best Icies in FNKA with MK so it definitely does look like he's phasing out the Aegis for now. Interested to see what he'd pick against Asimo.
Leo catching Akakikusu with up B while Akakikusu was coming down from zoom might be the most chad Joker play I've ever seen

Leo learned Japanese menu he said. And akak is not spamming menu like BMP. So its not advantages actually. akak just kept up with Leo with his skill

From a game design perspective it's kinda silly that they never did
