Be honest, he's gonna travel and farm like 5 majors in between if he can 😂 Same guy who lost to majors early in the year to literally go win 2 more right after.
Gosh I think Nairo would be such a good commentator, his knowledge of the game is second to none. I stopped watching competitive smash a long time ago but I’m so invested when Nairo is commentating
I think Byleth was fine, he didn't run into anyone that gave Byleth much difficulty or that Joker would have been strongly better against. Except Dabuz's Min Min of course, which he used Joker for.
To be fair I want to give proto one more crack at Leo same with esam I’ll explain esam and tweek later But proto is one of 3 to be plus in there recent matches and that includes a finals win after a reset that takes a lot of clutch . Esam showing and consistency. Not there but he can break down the game and his counter play one he knows you is promising along with the obvi plus record Tweek is according to Leo even today his toughest opp he would rather not play the most the record overall in Leo favor but the last 3 matches go to tweek once to eliminate Leo for 6th I believe This is to say I’m glad he took his spot by force now finish these battles he rather not bother with
@@timadethis honestly, Esam doesn't even believe he can keep that up... So idk, bro wins against top 5 to lose to Marss or instead just a random pro player who isn't a top player lol. Tweek? I think they'll just always go tic for tac, and it's a wonderful thing. Proto and maybe Gluto are the only 2 I wanna see more against Leo of. Especially Proto. Him and Light are my 2 and 3 in any order and I don't know where to place Acola right now. (I also hear Proto is way lower in Japan right now than he is internationally? Cracked region lol). Then there's Tea, Gluto, Shuton, etc I think Nairo said it about characters (25 top 10) but I feel like it's 15 top 5 players depending on what day it is. Only constant imo is Leo being the top 1. Guy basically go wins a different major for every major he loses, it's crazy.
@@timadethis Tweek is weird to get a an idea of what he will do because sometimes he feels like the best player in the world and others he just deflates and loses games randomly. And I was one of the ones that was convinced he was going to be the one in Leo's situation when he basically took 6 games in a row from Leo in one of the first majors of ultimate.
Easily one of the top Smash Tournaments not just in 2022 but in all of Smash Ultimates lifespan. Thanks for recording your live reaction off stream Nairo!
I’m certain there are some very big teams scouting Kurama right now after that performance. I’m really looking forward to seeing his future tournaments
Bro nairo was right about the block under the stage saving Acola from a spike, it was a stone block that he placed before losing his prev stock, and stone takes a WHILE to disintegrate on its own. Looking closely you can see both the smoke from the knockback trajectory coming from offstage, and the block break just after. He may have been saved by a second of time
I wish that becoming an official commentator at these events was in the cards for Nairo. He brings so much to the table. Compared to the official commentators, he knows the game better, he knows what it’s like to play at a top level, his game knowledge is obscene, and he’s so much funnier. When Kurama backthrew at centerstage and Nairo said with complete confidence “that won’t kill,” before the launch even started, and then seconds later you hear both commentators gasping in surprise… that kind of thing is a good example of what I mean. The official commentators just don’t even hold a candle to the insight and understanding Nairo can bring when discussing a match.
I just realized how I only watch smash tournaments when Nairo is commentating on it. I learn so much from Nairo and am attending local smash tournaments, because of Nairo. He's just so cool, and actually really good at smash still.
This really helpful because I hangout with my friends all on the Third day and missed everything so thanks Nairo! (Tried to avoid much spoilers as possibles before this)
@@GawainSSB But you didn’t say fast or rushdown. You said combo heavy. Probably best to leave those in if that’s what you mean. Regardless, I still think you’re wrong. Execution heavy versions of the archetype aren’t quite as good for competitive due to inconsistency but they’re still good. Easy ones have been meta dominant since forever.
@@j.prt.979 maybe but I'm lazy and the guy I replied to already said it. Figured it's obvious enough. I never said they're bad, I'm just refuting that they're winning events disproportionately (OP topic).
the same block closest to the stage, from 33:40, IS what saved Acola's a** from that fair spike! Nairo has some great eyes to have seen that live but he failed to rewind far enough for his own proof. if he'd rewound to 33:49 he would have had his evidence :) excellent commentary and game knowledge from Nairo!! enjoyed this whole vid
Your commentary is so insightful all of the time. I love hearing your thoughts on matchups and strategies for dealing with certain characters in different scenarios. I definitely think I have improved as a player even on a more casual, friendlies level just by watching your content and listening to you talk. You should 100% do this more in the future if you can’t on stream.
T1 probably be like to MkLeo (Leo legit channeled his inner Doomguy for Ludwig Invitational): "Against all the evil that Smash can conjure...all the wickedness that the competitive scene can produce...we will send unto them, only you...RIP AND TEAR. UNTIL IT IS DONE."
Damn, I didnt know Kurama is Prodigy, I would have been more hypped when I saw the live stream. Always wanted to see a rematch, and didnt know I was seeing it 😅
Your character knowledge makes you extra entertaining to watch. You know what percent will kill while someone is putting their string together and say when a different attack would have killed instead.
I know all the hype from Leo just mashing the tournament but who's talking about Kurama on third, he was fairly amazing and made me remember that Mario was a character in smash
Appreciate you explaining your thinking on this, sometimes people work themselves up and then like to blame it on other factors instead of reflecting inward
Leo is the undisputed goat. I follow a bunch of games competitive scene and nobody is as dominant as mkleo. I personally think smash is one of the hardest games too which makes it more impressive. Amazing instincts spacing and reads
I don't get how Leo played like this in late 2022 and then forgot how to play for an entire year four months after. Leo's Byleth here feels like a speed-up version of Leo's Byleth from now.
Leo saying "They really thought I wasn't the best" was cold asf
He needed to say it for all the doubters in the back.
Savage really

Same! I only follow the competitive scene when Nairo livestreams/commentates on it.
It’s just truly too bad that twitch is being a dingus. Nairo is a vital organ to the smash community.
@@Minister_of_Magic_1997 I would love to see nairo unbanned but rather he streamed on yt tbh. Stream rewind on yt is a game changer
@@attn. Agree. I prefer UA-cam over Twitch.
@@attn. I can agree with that. UA-cam seems to do really solid for him. But mainly have him unbanned so he can compete/commentate again.

You should do this more Nairo, people love your commentary and expertise on the game. especially in tournaments!
Completely agree! I want Nairo to react to more tournaments in the future and give us his insight on them.
Agree, every major preferably :^)
nairo is an incredible commentator even when he's not in front of an audience
Ya you could tell at first it was a little awkward when he wasn’t sure if he was even gonna post the vid, but once things got juicy he hit flow
Nairo is the goat content creator
Leo really said, " And now I will try."
he sat forward
Leo really practiced his joker then said “actually I over prepared”
I think Byleth was fine, he didn't run into anyone that gave Byleth much difficulty or that Joker would have been strongly better against. Except Dabuz's Min Min of course, which he used Joker for.
@@Endershock1678 Dabuz can't catch a break lol
Nairo about to be seeing gigabowser in his dreams for WEEKS
This caught me off guard lmao
Imagine being Acola actually dominating absolutely everyone and then just 0-6 to Leo. How the difference between second and first can be so big
To be fair I want to give proto one more crack at Leo same with esam I’ll explain esam and tweek later

SWT championship is gunna be nuts too, last yrs was pretty good
“Aight you bots”
Beautiful intro
so glad you uploaded. nobody gives as much insight during commentary about how it feels as a top competitor like nairo.
5:17 MKLeo literally walking behind Nairo looks so funny 🤣🤣
I’m certain there are some very big teams scouting Kurama right now after that performance. I’m really looking forward to seeing his future tournaments
Prodigy was already really well known as a great player, but I see what you’re saying
Bro nairo was right about the block under the stage saving Acola from a spike, it was a stone block that he placed before losing his prev stock, and stone takes a WHILE to disintegrate on its own. Looking closely you can see both the smoke from the knockback trajectory coming from offstage, and the block break just after. He may have been saved by a second of time
It lasted so long too. That block was a frame away from breaking and saved him in its last breath.
What Leo did to Dabuz is in my top 3 most dominating sets along with Riddles Kazuya vs Kola and Kola vs Dabuz at this invitational
“The mixup on the handshake too 🤜🤚" bruh 💀💀
I wish that becoming an official commentator at these events was in the cards for Nairo. He brings so much to the table. Compared to the official commentators, he knows the game better, he knows what it’s like to play at a top level, his game knowledge is obscene, and he’s so much funnier.

Funny enough nairo prolly could go to this event since it was UA-cam only but I doubt he wants to go to tourneys again
It’s so wholesome seeing Nairo so happy and cheering for Leo :’)
there should be more youtube exclusive content
Please do more of these reactions to major tournaments your the best man 🙌🐐
Leo proving he's the best and will probably remain the best ultimate player!
Bro has like 25 wins or something... It's doubtful he'll ever be caught.
Leo is cold as ice. The doubters of the goat in shambles.
We ain't forget
The reaction meta is in full swing in smash rn
What does that mean?

I love Nairo's commentating and analysis
nairo’s years as a top player really shine when he does commentary stuff like this. his knowledge/intuition is crazy!

Been waiting for this analysis! Great content as always Nairo!
This really helpful because I hangout with my friends all on the Third day and missed everything so thanks Nairo! (Tried to avoid much spoilers as possibles before this)
When there is a tournament I watch the best games, but when there is Nairo reacting I watch every game.
41:35 "people really thought I wasnt the best"
NAHHH WHAT IS THIS MAN HE'S BUILT DIFFERENT
that's why he's the GOAAAAAT
33:44 there actually was a block down there and if it did actually save him that's incredible
Your tourney watching content, whether live or like this is some of my favorite type.
Sandbag virgin aegis vs the chad up kill at 40 byleth
what's insane is that He did not drop a game to anyone except mario... he just really hates fighting mario wild
at 42:02 it looks like charles looks to nairo haha
😂 when Nairo said it's not over I was like LEO MODE ACTIVATE!
Crazy how Mkleo tweeted he only lost one game before fighting Acola again. Super confidence 😂
it’s pretty cool imo that top 16 had 15 different mains and the winner wasn’t a fast, combo-heavy, rushdown character
Combo heavy characters don't really win that much in ultimate. I mean Leo mains zoners primarily.
@@GawainSSB Cap lol. Steve, ROB, Roy, Fox etc. Just cuz Leo usually wins when he attends doesn’t mean everyone else’s chars are irrelevant.
@@j.prt.979 I don't consider ROB or Steve to be "fast, combo heavy, rushdown". Fox and Roy sure but they're hardly dominating majors constantly.

Came down here to say the same thing, just didn't quite got far enough back to prove himself right XD
I wasn't watching pre-covid so this was my first real taste of what Kurama can do and God damn was it sweet.
Leo only lost 1 game.. he really is that dude
If you play against Kurama you start with 2 stocks
Non streamed content LET'S GOOOOO
You should definitely do this more often!
12:28 the editing on this cut is so perfect and hilarious
fr i was confused the set done just like that lmao
Jesus Christ that Spargo v Acola set broke my heart

That TaC combo was insane.

The mixup on the handshake lmao
Finally, a UA-cam video that isn’t a stream highlight
day 72, nairo is still stuck on giga bowser... i still believe tho
Now MKLeo vs MKMFLeo would be the true test of Ultimate Champions.
The sparg0 SD was so tragic
What’s funny is that I had no context of anything and I just knew Leo was playing really mad 😂
I will never sleep on Leo brooo
It feels strange nairo offstream but it's excellent content as always
I like the new cocky leo arc
love this format
Your character knowledge makes you extra entertaining to watch. You know what percent will kill while someone is putting their string together and say when a different attack would have killed instead.
i know he's never been interested in doing commentary _officially_ , but i gotta add to the pile of people saying how good he is at it :)
I love watching these without the time between sets. good stuff as always
I like this confident Leo.
Ol MkLeo had a sweep
He is number one
I hope we get more of these. Could listen to this whenever
NAIRO TOURNAMENT COMMENTARY POGGERS
This was awesome Nairo plz keep doing it for big tourneys you don't stream
“The one coin, THE PENNY” i fucking died😂
I was shocked when Nairo found out I’m a BOT in the opening of this video…
Man Spargo was COOKING!! A shame about that SD
33:46 right here you can see the block that he was talking about
He went on vacation after this
Words cannot describe how happy I was to see Leo’s perfect streak ruined by a Mario (no hate towards either player whatsoever)
When I heard that this was gonna be a UA-cam-streamed tournament, I was hoping to see Nairo play or at least be on commentary.
The handshake mixup lmaooo
I know all the hype from Leo just mashing the tournament but who's talking about Kurama on third, he was fairly amazing and made me remember that Mario was a character in smash
This is Leo's game, man is just unstoppable
For kurama to go so close with the best player in the world is crazy
Kuruma is up there now. Taking out Tea, Sparg0, and Zackray are not small feats. He basically lost to the number one and number two respectively.
Great editing and commentary super easy to watch
Leo: Shall I begin?
I hate how loud his mic was compared to everything else.
Great vid Nairo!
Appreciate you explaining your thinking on this, sometimes people work themselves up and then like to blame it on other factors instead of reflecting inward
And yes that goes BOTH ways
Props to kurama, he got 3rd at the most stacked tournament of the year only losing to the two best players in the world
