I’ve NEVER seen Leo play this aggressive before. Has to be the heaviest character he’s ever played too. Some of the survivals were nuts. Absolutely insane set.
Congrats to Proto man. Dude played amazing. He is so methodical all the time; especially when he switches characters win or lose. He is a very smart player. Struggled a bit there in Japan but glad he rose back up to top 5 maybe even better. Congrats again

Most top Japanese players outside Shuton can be inconsistent in Japan. Between a lot of truly talented top players, hidden bosses, char specialist who can matchup check, and lots of BO3s due to venue restrictions, upsets are pretty common in Japan

Protobanham is so damn good, he just does not go down without a fight. Almost got JV4'd at the start of their first set in Winners, then goes on to take home the tournament, after winning 2 sets against MKLeo the 🐐. Proto is definitely my favourite player from Japan. That man is WILD. 👍
Honestly might be the threat of the arms vs the tether recovery by doing what proto does when he drops off ledge and ram rams. Rob doesnt really have to worry about it so long as he has gas he will make it back whereas joker gets caught out the tether by ram ram and it's a wrap
He doesn't want to have to play perfect to win essential. He said he has to play at 100 to play Joker. Thats why he uses Mythra over Joker, she's less work.

Great tournament, so happy for Proto. Leo being able to play Grand Finals with 5+ different characters is incredible. I think the meta is heading that way, in which you'll have to be proficient with 2-3 characters and counter picking matchups becomes fundamental.
Ikr, min min can be a nightmare to play against at the ledge. Proto did make min min look pretty hype though, I'm not gonna lie, and not many people do that
@@austinroccaro2219 Japan has significantly more player depth than Mexico. Mexico is carried by 3-4 great players while Japan has nearly a dozen top level players that can make top 8 at pretty much any event.
Nairo's biggest fan. Now, Leo is crazy, but he was missing a lot of grabs and neutral get ups, also the airdodges, well, some techs too, but u can't tech on stage vs MinMin, she just beats you up, Leo will comeback stronger, good shit Proto.
What if Leo didn’t miss the grabs? What if Proto avoided the grabs? Also Proto called out and waited for the airdodges. Leo was outplayed. It’s all good. It’s a competitive game with competitive people
Leo is by far the best player in the world. He can pick up almost any character and win. The only thing is min min dosnt allow Leo to play the spacing/neutral he is known for. He needs a fast rushdown character that dosnt need to jump to get inside on min min.
I’m already seeing a bunch of Min Min hate in the comments, so let me put this out there: Protobanham has been practicing and perfecting Min Min since she came out, and only just recently started getting super strong international results with her. Meanwhile, MKLeo picked up R.O.B. about *two months ago* and nearly won this entire tournament with him. I get that Leo is Leo, but that doesn’t excuse R.O.B. He has zero-to-deaths. He has inarguably the best projectile in the game. He has a top 3 recovery in the game. He has ridiculously strong and ridiculously safe aerials. He has a frame two down tilt that sets up into tech chases at higher percents. He has a bury throw and a kill throw. I could go on and on. Long story short, there is a character in this Grand Finals that is unbelievably broken and unfair and deserves a lot of hate. *But that characters name absolutely isn’t Lucina or Min Min.*
This is some of the best smash i have ever seen! It was ridiculously fast pace! Congrats to The Iceman! MkLeos Rob is Dope! This was so hype!!! I love smash ultimate!!! Thank you Proto and Thank you Leo!!! Amazing sets! Leo slowly becoming the mythical player that says he Mains everyone!!!! 😄

Protobanham thinks he won, but it's only an illusion. Next tournament Mkleo will be forced to bring out his final, secret pocket character: Steve. And then, Smash Ultimate as we know it will come to an end... and with it, the entire world as well.
fr everyone on Coney's chat was disappointed with the reset, surprisingly a lot of people were cheering for Leo's Rob cause of the sick plays he was giving but we all wanted it to be over so we could go to sleep.
@@GrimYaeger I'm talking about VGBC. All they had to do was tell Tech that he is banned. But the censored him, stopped him from leaving the event to converse with him after saying they *didn't want to talk with him* and then made an incredibly immature response when he ratiod them because they care more about that then the safety of children at their events.
I'll never know for sure, ofc, but whenever they show proto it looks like there's a middle-aged asian couple calmly seated in the stands. If that's proto's parents, I find that really endearing and touching to see that his parents supported him so much to come with him to LA to watch the match. But I don't know for sure.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Leo is at his scariest once he has downloaded his enemy. He's not quite there with Min Min just yet and you can tell.
@@spartanchief2 nature of the beast really. Not many min mins mixed with the fact that it's the best min min. Similar effect you could say people have vs Leo's byleth. Proto takes a mile for you getting hit by stray arm hits and its telling that Leo's trying to work out mid match what is and isn't punishable
@@Ramon_olivares0105 Byleth is unviable in this matchup. Byleth would need to outplay the ever living fuck out of the Min Min to win, and against a player of Proto’s caliber, it just isn’t worth the risk.
Honestly surprised how many options Proto was able to cover with Min Min, especially with that high recovery and low recoveries as well, well played Proto
That game 5 was incredible Leo was dead, he was done, down and out. And SOMEHOW he came back. Unbelievable. Just absolutely stunning and unbelievable what this guy can do.
@@xzgears929 Yikes, I wouldn't go quite that far. Hungry box definitely shouldn't have been allowed to play mask off while sick. But yeah, idk why that dude had that sign up at grand finals. Was kinda annoying and idk how nobody saw it until Proto won.
@Pokoteng Twitch and certain venues have him banned BUT if he's as genuine as I thought he was (I came into the Smash scene after all that stuff with everyone everywhere) he'd imo be pissed/upset about it and possibly even set his viewers he does get straight on stream. That's terrible to have that shit in the middle of a match like this. I guess the camera time it got was accidental when trying to get all angles of the pop off?
Personally I'd say hes not passive, but he is defensive, his gameplay is very safe and calculated, figuring out how to cover the most options as safely as possible, and lining that up with what they're actually doing in situations then averaging that all out. Dudes a genius. I mean his swordie characters all kind of just box you out, they're not passive they're constantly actively doing things, but those things are defensive.

hes probs mashing for the pummel,,, ur able to mash out of robs dthrow during the animation
Aren't all buries harder to mash out of at higher percents? Proto was doing it consistently at like 130-140%
Proto do be mashing. It’s his thesis statement at this point.
But that’s why we love him.

Well, I'm impressed how he play Minmin so agressively. Respect to rise so high this character. Wp for these two players!
Protobanham thinks he won, but it's only an illusion. Next tournament Mkleo will be forced to bring out his final, secret pocket character: Steve. And then, Smash Ultimate as we know it will come to an end... and with it, the entire world as well.
(Insert "You were the chosen one!" reply here)
Nah, as long as he brings out the Steve only against min min we'll be fine
Oh God please no.
@@chrisjackson6149 cope
I’m a Leo fan but you’re coping hard. Proto outplayed Leo in the 2nd set
This ended really late for the east coast but the only reason I stayed up late was to see Proto beat Leo!
Proto offstage play is mental.
fr everyone on Coney's chat was disappointed with the reset, surprisingly a lot of people were cheering for Leo's Rob cause of the sick plays he was giving but we all wanted it to be over so we could go to sleep.
Imagine for us European fans! I was already at work when Leo and Proto had to play. XD
Grand finals was at 9 am in my time zone
Had to watch it secretly at work
Ban Nairo, goodbye VGBC
Nairo is banned lol.
@@GrimYaeger And yet they found it real hard to say that outright.
@@The_Big_Jay Ikr? Honestly im surprised he even still has a active UA-cam channel.
@@GrimYaeger I'm talking about VGBC. All they had to do was tell Tech that he is banned. But the censored him, stopped him from leaving the event to converse with him after saying they *didn't want to talk with him* and then made an incredibly immature response when he ratiod them because they care more about that then the safety of children at their events.
@@ABC-ik9vj Completely serious.
VGBC? More like VGBCCP
#BanNairo
The VGBCCP stands strong and proud
#BanNairo we didn’t forget nun
LOL they edited out the person holding the BAN NAIRO sign
The best grands I’ve ever seen, so much intensity and hype around it
Funny how it's rob and min min
I'll never know for sure, ofc, but whenever they show proto it looks like there's a middle-aged asian couple calmly seated in the stands. If that's proto's parents, I find that really endearing and touching to see that his parents supported him so much to come with him to LA to watch the match.
But I don't know for sure.
Thanks for uploading this. I enjoyed the interview at the end of the set.
44:11 Not marred in controversy? Even your commentators knew you be censoring
40:15 - 40:34
Such an interesting phase, full of the richest interactions !
7/11は日本ではラーメンの日とされています
この日に優勝するのあまりに主人公
なにちょっと外国人に見られるの意識したコメントしてんねん
いや別に実はこっちはアメリカ人だけど、、コメントが面白っておもてて．ところで今回バナムさんが主人公みたいなオーラが画面から感じてしまった🪨

時差とか詳しく分からないから「少なくとも観戦しているここ（日本）では」的な意味で言いたかったのにそうにしか見えなくなったやんけ
43:11 CENSORSHIP
BAN NAIRO, NEVER FORGET THE SIGN
How the fuck does Proto mash out of grab/bury like that multiple times
his fingers dude
Just ban Nairo already...
🤦🏿♂️
NEVER FORGET THE SIGN
バナムさん、プレーはキレッキレやのにポップオフはふにゃんふにゃんなの好き
緊張から解放されて力抜けたんだろうねw
あと可愛い子見るとsyamuさんみたいになるのおもろくて好き
44:10 this didn’t age well
BING CHILLING
ALL GLORY TO THE VGBC PARTY
Always hype to see a good Min Min play. Great set for all to see!
the censoring here is straight up Childish. #BanNairo
@@ABC-ik9vj no bitches
BanNairo
Theres my biggest fan!
Totally caught that
LOL.
Technicles mad cringe
Once Leo takes his well-deserved break and learns the Min-Min match-up, he will be an unstoppable force!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Leo is at his scariest once he has downloaded his enemy. He's not quite there with Min Min just yet and you can tell.
@@spartanchief2 nature of the beast really. Not many min mins mixed with the fact that it's the best min min. Similar effect you could say people have vs Leo's byleth. Proto takes a mile for you getting hit by stray arm hits and its telling that Leo's trying to work out mid match what is and isn't punishable
Mk leo lost twice to protoban ham first corrin now rob and havent seen yet with byleth.
Just congratulate Proto and give him his moment. Dude played amazing and is incredibly smart
@@Ramon_olivares0105 Byleth is unviable in this matchup. Byleth would need to outplay the ever living fuck out of the Min Min to win, and against a player of Proto’s caliber, it just isn’t worth the risk.
レオが狂ったように下投げ擦るの好き
Twitterでロボ使い達に注意されまくってたの笑える
mkleo可愛い
レバガチャって結構疲れるから長期戦なるならと擦ってたとか違うとか、、笑
草
最後もはやリュカの下投げやったな
Proto absolutely deserved that win! He was amazing!
Proto needs to come to America more even Acola. Proto always a player I respected even when min min came out
love seeing someone showing off the min min. Such a unique character. Great tourney overall
unique is one way to put it
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 unique in the range department but yeah...
Honestly surprised how many options Proto was able to cover with Min Min, especially with that high recovery and low recoveries as well, well played Proto
Bruuuhhh MKLEO win or loose, NEVER ceases to amaze me!
スマブラの歴史に残る一戦でした
悪い意味でね。MKLeoもバナムに負けた直後ツイートで「I truly hate minmin（ガチで麺嫌いになった）」って馬鹿にしてたし
@@v_yi まあ嫌いになる程バナムさんが上手かったってことやろ
leo 様が小物っぽくなるからやめとき
@@v_yi あのleoにここまで言わせるバナムすげーな
もちろん良い意味でですよ
唯一Leoを王者という聖人であることしか許されない立場から、スマブラに愚痴る一般人に戻る事を許すバナムさんがイケメンすぎました
@@v_yi あなたが麺嫌いなのは良く分かったｗ
That game 5 was incredible
Leo was dead, he was done, down and out.
And SOMEHOW he came back.
Unbelievable. Just absolutely stunning and unbelievable what this guy can do.
Absolutely infinite respect to Proto, but I have to say this really shows why I hate playing against min min
It took that long just to blur out a sign and zoom in more? They could of been creative and put Let’s Go Proto or a Dabuz copypasta.
They should have added a Dabuz copypasta lmao. That would have been hilarious.
I stayed up till 3 am to watch this set, so worth it. Craziest set I’ve seen in a while
Same here!! I was so sleepy the morning after but thinking "It was worth it" all day long.
Did this grand finals take so long to be uploaded because they edited out the sign at 43:12?
Yeah, TOs, and naifus had a meltdown on twitter over it. Acting like it was worse than a sick, no mask HBox at the venue.
@@xzgears929
Yikes, I wouldn't go quite that far. Hungry box definitely shouldn't have been allowed to play mask off while sick. But yeah, idk why that dude had that sign up at grand finals. Was kinda annoying and idk how nobody saw it until Proto won.
@@xzgears929 (literally no one said that) lol
@@l.n.3372 what did the sign say, just curious
@@300PIVOTMASTER ban nairo
At the end he says "and that man will be escorted out"
Wat?
Because someone was holding a sign up on camera it was edited out though
A guy was holding a ban Nairo sign. Nairo's a pedo apparently.
BAN NAIRO
This whole Tournament was a treat to watch ❤️❤️❤️
Huge shout out to vgb for managing to save proto's popoff. It's messed up to do that shit and takeaway from someone else's moment
Yeah, but also messed up to have relationships with a minor as a grown man
@@bsmccrunner4 Whatever your thoughts are on the issue, this was not the time or place.
What happened?
@Pokoteng Oic. Thanks for filling me in
@Pokoteng Twitch and certain venues have him banned BUT if he's as genuine as I thought he was (I came into the Smash scene after all that stuff with everyone everywhere) he'd imo be pissed/upset about it and possibly even set his viewers he does get straight on stream. That's terrible to have that shit in the middle of a match like this. I guess the camera time it got was accidental when trying to get all angles of the pop off?
#ban nario
🤦🏿♂️
Leo is the kind of player who is never defensive or passive. That's why he is great.
Personally I'd say hes not passive, but he is defensive, his gameplay is very safe and calculated, figuring out how to cover the most options as safely as possible, and lining that up with what they're actually doing in situations then averaging that all out. Dudes a genius. I mean his swordie characters all kind of just box you out, they're not passive they're constantly actively doing things, but those things are defensive.
proto and leo showing just how hype MinMin and ROB are. absolutely incredible set, edge of my seat the entire time. i popped off too at the end
