You have to get a little lucky somewhere along the way to win tournaments, but a lot of these weren't even that heavily luck-based, it's just crazy nerves in a last-hit situation and the fact that Leo comes up on top more often means he's just better at dealing with really clutch situations.
@@shepardice3775 perfectly explained, his coolheadedness in high stress situations means the opponent usually cracks before MKLeo does, which is why it always feels like hes always lucky
@@shepardice3775 oh I realize that, but w the exception of bullshit trades and weird mechanics (players screwing themselves even) the luck is normally forced by the other top player. I prefer to call it chance, personally (don't believe in luck) which is honestly the same concept.

No matter where you go in the future leo, you have been an amazing force of competetiveness, sportsmanship, entertainment, hype, and an overall blessing the community should always be grateful for. You will never meet most of us, but know you have hundreds of thousands of fans who are cheering for you every tournament (or at least up until you eliminate their actual favorite in a classic losers run ;) ).
When you're at the top of the game playing in so many tournaments, you're bound to find yourself in situations where you may be "lucky" just from the sheer number of times you're in these high-profile situations. This is something for most top players and especially so from the #1 player who is the comeback KING and plays 2x more games doing runs through the losers bracket. I do find it kind of funny now that Leo has won a major with Byleth, the meta has changed.... instead of saying he's carried by Joker, haters will say he's carried by luck now :P
This is actually absolute totally normal, when performing at such top level of anything, the least amount of luck can shift tides totally, just like the Usmash from Zero whiffing weirdly or a ball moving funny at a football game because of wind blowing in that moment
@@kylecouture1917 If you've ever been in that position and truly worked hard enough for something to be contention for Top 1 in the world at, the last thing anyone would say is it was cringe. Sweat and Tears isn't just a metaphor
@@kylecouture1917 imagine being so childish that you call someone who's worked for something more than you have worked in your entire life cringe.

That tweek moment with charizard is always a heart breaker to watch. That roll read was insane. Probably the best roll read in smash history given the context.
Twitter do be like that. He tweeted right after the match about how he gets lucky at least once per tournament and that people shouldn't be surprised at this point. It was gold lmao
@@shiranuiprestonsaga8867 oh nah, I realize lmao. I actually watched that moments before watching this, but I was making a SpongeBob reference. This is still a nice explain tho, it's appreciated 🙂
@Tyler Davis Please explain to me how that makes me seem like I don't have brains. Because as it stands, you're the one looking like an idiot for trying to correct a meme slang while also insulting the person using it for no reason other than being an asshole.
@Tyler Davis Idk why I even wasted my time with a troll. Also, you really need to work on your grammar if you think that first sentence needed a question mark. You use a question mark there when you want to imply a nicer tone and I definitely didn't want to do so in this case. Goodbye.
people say kola got robbed but on 6:10, if u go frame by frame with pause and , . u can see leo is still on invincibility frames from the tech roll. besides being just a pinch behind the f smash too leo is buffering shield, so leo is able to being hit a few frames before the shield animation starts to appears, but by the time leo is shielding roy's f smash already happened
Looking back on the clip after watching it like 10 times, kola hit the dtilt and had the tech chase but instead of pressing a button at the end of the first dash, he dashed twice and overshot the spacing. Unfortunate for sure that was a super hype set
I like how most of these games Leo gives some sort of "no fucking way" reaction as if saying that he really didn't deserve to win those games, but he did anyways.
D1 had such an amazing voice for commentary and an overall talent for it. He had such an imprint on so many major smash moments, sad to see him go out the way he did
OMG I just remembered that one, it was such a hype moment. There was also game 4 leo vs samsora during smashcon grands that he didn't include as well. Leo has so many of those clutch moments its crazy
And many moments were missing, some against Samsora in SmashCon and Ultimate summit 2, against Nairo, Maister, etc. 3 or 5 moments could be considered luck, but already more than 20 is something different ...THE CLUTCH KING.
I love his face of genuine disbelief, even shaking his head a bit. If he was some jerk he might pop off and scream after winning the any game like this
There were 8 different players in this compilation. More proof that Leo's plot armor knows no bounds. Also, LMAO at bringing back the outro with Switch online.
7:38 No, this clip does not show nearly enough of why he is the main character. You literally need to watch the entirety of the Evo 2019 grand finals. Watching it live was like watching Goku fight Jiren and seeing ultra instinct sign for the first time.
@@freddiesimmons1394 Mmm...just that? If she had 20 o 18 or something like that i dont know what is the problem. Maybe because here the "Mayority of age" is 18 years.
Mkleo's biggest plot armor moment was still having a following after being part of a wave of people trying to unban a predator from the smash community.
You guys Leo's success is easily explainable. You see, the game detects when Leo is playing and removes 4 frames of startup and endlag of all his character's moves. This is obvious if you go frame-by-frame, do your research!
In the match against Tea, MKLeo pulled up his shield with exactly four frames to spare - if he had been just that mush slower, Tea would have taken the set.
They say one who can beat the hero of plot is one who has plot development. The two legendary heros of plot armor and plot development will enter battle and decide the fate of humanity.
The ones that I liked the most is when we was verusing prodigies like spargo or zackaray, and when they get upset he’s nice to them, even if it was game 5
Love that Ending of Joker at the end of the video lol only Real Reason I ever got into smash was cause of Joker and seeing MKLeo use him like a God (I’m a PlayStation player ) and for the most part I think mkleo is just out of this world man oh man
Leo is the main character in the smash bros anime, and this is proof enough.
it’s like jojo, there’s a new main character every game
@@itsjayoh628 I'd say dbz. Leo comes back stronger or adapts in a set, which is the same. So he's basically a super saiyan.
Esam arc exist to make Leo begin is joker training arc
Then Tweek is the rival
On ultimate
I love how Leo has just accepted that at this point, he's pretty much become a shounen anime protagonist with these clutch AF moments of his.
I think pro smash players already think this too, look at marss videos he even says he likes byleth´s arc
Leo just finished the travel arc
MKLeo exudes protagonist energy, we're talking Jon Snow in GoT with this plot armor!
In all seriousness, it's dope to see you poke fun at yourself!
Hi, Marco, I didn't know you watch Leo
Same here LOL
Thanks bro
Awesome 😎
MKLeo for noobs
3:01 Love Tweek's reaction to his waft being countered lol Jaw dropped and busted out laughing
Shit this list is good, and thing is it's Leo so he knows which of these moments felt like he was done for the most
I love that he can make fun of himself/admit (for more... "Convinced" viewers) with the idea of plot armor and luck carrying him at times lol

Dude that roll read from EVO 2019 makes me pop off a bit every time.
He knew EXACTLY what Tweek was gonna do. It’s nuts. He stood, waited, and perfectly punished the roll. So cold.
The sad thing is that Tweek read Leo's roll at the ledge and had the chance to finish it off, but hesitated and failed to punish. Then, Leo was like "lemme show you how it's done". Savage.
@@nosborwilliansen8750 perfect example of the major factor keeping tweek from having Leo’s consistency, tweek gets nervous in grands and Leo just doesn’t
For Leo's opponents, it was the time they ALMOST beat the toughest player; for Leo, it was Sunday.
Zackary loosing it's definitely sad he wanted it so bad and you can tell he has so much passion for the game too 😭
Tweek too! I heard he suffers from depression or anxiety (forgot which), so it must be heartbreaking to always come second to Leo.
@@DarkWolfJr1000 yeah definitely they really want it but mkleo is so consistent
Yeah
@@DarkWolfJr1000I know with my father, the two goes hand in hand so it may be both for tweek as well
That clip always heartbreaking to watch
I hate how Leo got the most savage roll read of the century on tweek and the commentators completely failed to notice it.
Yeah, EVO 2019 have the best Grand Finals, but the comentary is shit and bias towards Tweek. I saw many people complain for that.
@@syanidesiree1139 it is more interesting to focus on underdog, makes sense

True
I’m a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it
Thomas Jefferson
He is carried by skill
This is actually absolute totally normal, when performing at such top level of anything, the least amount of luck can shift tides totally, just like the Usmash from Zero whiffing weirdly or a ball moving funny at a football game because of wind blowing in that moment
To beat Esam, he will have to go back to Joker. Byleth is too easy for Pikachu.
It’s official. His nicknames are now:
“Game 4 Leo”
“Lucky Leo”
winning so consistently I wouldn´t call it luck it is called plot armor ;) haha

Leo flexing that plot armor.
I'm hoping to see it put to good use at Low Tide, Leo.
I am so excited for that tornament!
Is that this weekend ?
@@carlosbrambila4667 yes, starts today and ends on sunday.
This aged well

@@kylecouture1917 Shut the fuck up. It wasn’t that he didn’t accept the loss, or that he was mad at Leó. He was just disappointed in himself.
His luck/plot armor is what makes his matches so crazy entertaining.
Revisiting the samsora sets feels weird now but I still think it was one of, if not the closest rivalry Leo's had
Yeah, they didn't put that here, but the Grand Finals of SmashCon against Samsora also was an amazing reverse 3-0. Similar level to the EVO one.
What's wrong with samsora?
@@abyssalnothingness he got cancelled and left the scene due to the drama with nairo/captainzack. It sucks since I really used to look up to samsora, as a peach main myself :/
Not just Samsora, half this video is full of people who (rightfully) are out the Smash community now.
@@mvjbass9561 Yeah ZeRo, Samsora, Keitaro, and formally D1.
That roll read against tweek at evo is still the best read i've ever seen
He walked slowly forward and just put the fear in Tweek's eyes.
@Allycat Blues charizard up smash is a frame six kill move out of shield, and mans just walked into the shield with no fear. I can't get over it.
@@Tonjit41 me neither my man just went in the upsmash range only to do the sickest read ever
That tweek moment with charizard is always a heart breaker to watch. That roll read was insane. Probably the best roll read in smash history given the context.
Lmao he’s being a part of the meme I love it
That set with Tea is probably my favorite set in Smash Ultimate, watching that live does crazy things to your heart rate
It’s kinda interesting how when you’re at the top, you gain some kind of aura which causes most opponents to get nervous and choke more easily
Alright, who told him? *WHO TOLD HIM?!*
Tweek was talking about how lucky he was on His podcast when they were talking about Leo's game with Pinkfresh (The Min Min in the first clip)

His entire frostbite run after going into losers could be on here
The iconic game 4 Leo walk up slowly and fade back fair1 is the most gangster thing I’ve seen at a high level
Even if he died in all of these scenarios, MKLeo is a living legend.
I'm never going to forget when Leo popped VoiD's shield at Genesis 6 GF when Leo was at last stock 143%.
mkleos insane plays are what got me into smash. this man is unreal.
people say kola got robbed but on 6:10, if u go frame by frame with pause and , . u can see leo is still on invincibility frames from the tech roll. besides being just a pinch behind the f smash too
leo is buffering shield, so leo is able to being hit a few frames before the shield animation starts to appears, but by the time leo is shielding roy's f smash already happened
Plus it's weird to think that Kola got "robbed" when he was trying to get the KO at 50% and had twice that much on himself.
Ya that one's on Kola, misspaced it by moving too fast during the getup so he went thru him.
Looking back on the clip after watching it like 10 times, kola hit the dtilt and had the tech chase but instead of pressing a button at the end of the first dash, he dashed twice and overshot the spacing. Unfortunate for sure that was a super hype set

The elegant bair sending leo in was just ARGH
Still hurts after all these years
D1 had such an amazing voice for commentary and an overall talent for it. He had such an imprint on so many major smash moments, sad to see him go out the way he did
Culture is frustrating like that
@Drago Slayer if I remember, he got "caught" drunk with a drunk woman who happened to be under 21.
Shrug from me
@Drago Slayer don't know if she brought it up or if the lynchmob did
he released a statement, he's innocent, and he's back streaming on twitch

Respect the youtube grind
I love how Zero was genuinely happy Leo beat him
Prince of smash 4. The protagonist/super saiyan of smash. The King of Ultimate!
Edit: 7:30 Man, I miss ZeRo.
Same here man bad decisions happen but it won't erase the people who don't have shallow love for him as a player
Is he ok? I remember seeing a tweet that he tried to commit suicide but that was months ago u.u
@@jasonlobo2350 I heard he's streaming on Instagram and got back with vanessa.
Should have added Summit vs Nairo when he reversaled with a drop down down air at 0

Bruh Nairo was devastated LOL
i love how leo knows he's suppose lose sometimes, but just doesn't
I’m loving the new intro! I also love that you main 3 characters from my favorite games of all time
Mkleo is the protagonist from smbu and Sakurai choosing him as one of the players to test the game back in 2018 just proves that
LOL facts
MkLeo is truly an Anime Protagonist training for years, mad respect frfr
Best plot armor in the business
I love that whenever something looks like pure luck and that he feels like he shouldn't have won, his expression is in pure disbelief.
MK Leo: I have plot armor
ESAM: Let me double check that
If the protagonist always wins, there is no room for character development, it would be boring, he has to lose sometimes
He lose in grand finals, that is the most MC thing lol
@@dargtan8414 right lol, guy's gonna go grind his Marth or Lucina and come for his runback 😂
Tweek: "and then he just walked to me... menacingly!"
Tweek vs Leo at Evo, man. That set never fails to excite me.
And many moments were missing, some against Samsora in SmashCon and Ultimate summit 2, against Nairo, Maister, etc.
3 or 5 moments could be considered luck, but already more than 20 is something different ...THE CLUTCH KING.
They would've had to show entire bracket reset for Smashcon
I did not realize how close Zackray got to beating MKLeo so many times

Man the Tea set in Loser's at Frostbite gets my heart pumping EVERY TIME. It was so nerve racking and so close.

Whoever is giving leo these plot armor bonuses needs a raise.

When that smash 4 clip came in though 🤣
I'm crying you actually made this video
So wild reliving all these iconic sets lmao
Sometimes I'm convinced Leo goes into losers bracket on purpose so he can play more
The moment I knew it was the Kongo Saga set with Tweek. Biggest plot armor moment I’ve ever seen.
7:38 No, this clip does not show nearly enough of why he is the main character. You literally need to watch the entirety of the Evo 2019 grand finals. Watching it live was like watching Goku fight Jiren and seeing ultra instinct sign for the first time.
I love Leo but I was heartbroken when Elegant hit that bair and it sent the opposite direction. That was Elegant’s tournament.
I forgot about the 2GGC grand finals reset. It's like the world didn't want ZeRo to win his last tournament.
Haha plot armor go brrr -Mkleo probably
That's just Leo flexing his immense spiritual pressure. Attack the heart and the hands will follow.
Lmao I love how Sam's face is covered at the end there
This was recommended to me right after that plot armor against Sparg0 lmao
wow man, i forgot how crazy watching 2gg championship was live back in smash 4. no one expected leo to double elim zero in such a dominating way
Listening to Keitaro and D1 again is nostalgic, why did they have to do those awful things, they were the best commentators

We just got another one against Sparg0. He just keeps piling them up.

That EVO spike is tweeks “everything would’ve been different” moment
damn I really enjoyed this video and would love to see this continue!
I like how the video was made from MKLeo himself
Man, Zackray was soo good for his age, i really hope to see him again
He's just a year younger than Leo
He played on Summit last month. And yeah, it's about the same age as Leo, lol.
"This movement of rob is amazing" ROLLS ROLLS ROLLS BRUHHHH
La mejor frase de Leo "un two stock como a Me. R"
man, it really comes down to how calm and collected you can be in that last stock.
9:05 😂😂😂favorite part of the video
In the match against Tea, MKLeo pulled up his shield with exactly four frames to spare - if he had been just that mush slower, Tea would have taken the set.
Yoooo! MkLeo is definitely the protagonist!
You know Leo is the protagonist, when the script is always in his favor!
Glad D1 is slowly coming back

They say one who can beat the hero of plot is one who has plot development. The two legendary heros of plot armor and plot development will enter battle and decide the fate of humanity.
The ones that I liked the most is when we was verusing prodigies like spargo or zackaray, and when they get upset he’s nice to them, even if it was game 5
I got to see a lot of these moments watching live on twitch. Super happy I could enjoy them even though I can't travel to the actual events.

Love that Ending of Joker at the end of the video lol only Real Reason I ever got into smash was cause of Joker and seeing MKLeo use him like a God (I’m a PlayStation player ) and for the most part I think mkleo is just out of this world man oh man
You can feel the pressure, I’m trembling.
Every time Leo gets cornered, he activates the Sharingan or some sort of sh*t like that, it gives him the nastiest plot armors in anime history
the kola clip is crazy cuz after his fsmash whiffed, his fair went straight through him too
Really like that he included those smash 4 clips
Man you’re an excellent champion and person! Keep going like this!
