As a Bowser main who always struggled with Falcon, even before the buffs, I knew this was going to be rough. Leon is amazing, but I feel like this is an impossible match up. Add in that Fatality is a demon and... yup... Just saw one of my favourite smash players brutalise another one of my favourite players. Would be great to see Fatality against BestNess
@@Jgorinac Ness was my original main and Falcon was always combo food, so I think you're right. Bowser is the easiest for Ness, though. BestNess vs Leon was horrific.
@@ousometimes334 yeah, I was definitely being a bit dramatic with 'impossible', but it is not an even march up, surely. I probably feel more dread at a Falcon match up as Bowser than anyone else (except Ness).
@@jakestolworthy2869 wifi bowser is OP he can get away with stupid shit online normally he would get punished for offline and also his reactable moves become unreactable, people get hit more by firebreath , up b oos and side b and his run off fair edge guard is already so fast its hard to react and online its even better. leon is no slouch obviously and would get a few games maybe offline but it would definitely be more one sided then this offline . one could say falcon gets better with wifi and that might be true but not the way its true for heavies in this game online. heavies get buffed automatically online as most of there slow reactable attacks become unreactable which helps them out . love leon though super exciting player to watch this mu is truly horrible
Yea for sure gonna be a top 5 contender in my favs. I’d be getting all hype about Falcon combos, then all the sudden Bowser exists, fatality takes 80%, fsmash.
Seems like fatality's confidence has just skyrocketed since the character changes. These best of tens have been so enjoyable and straight up cracked to watch.
this always seemed like a super hard match up for Bowser before the Falcon Buffs. Glad to see Leon still put up a great fight with his Bowser despite that.
16:42 "he slips out of range sometimes". Yeah, Bowser's hurtbox is problematic, his front foot doesn't allow you to come close and since his chest is far in, it often causes Z axis problem, and ungrabable actions depending on character heights. Not even talking about hurtbox shifting shenanigans.
Because of his hitblx shifting Bowser is one of the hardest characters to consistently confirm tipper Dancing Blade as Marth. You'd think he would be easy being so big but it's like he's so big that he phases in and out of this dimension at will.
Yeah the game count would probably have been 10-3 or 10-2 if Fatality knew what like, every intermediate beginner knows lol. I think he thought it was like Ganon's sideB where you can mash out because I heard him mashing. Which probably threw off his control even more, because he died to some sideB's that had no business dragging him off.
Two of my favorite players goin at it in a FT10, I love it! Leon is sooo good at playing patient, especially in awful MU's like this one. An awesome showing from both sides!
Fatality gets a like just for that homey stock in round 2. Downright gentlemanly. Leon is a beast but had a few mis-inputs prob due to playing cold &/or lag. You showed me your moves, sir. Showed me your moves. 🗽
3:58 Does Fatality Know That The Control on that move Depends on percent? Like if you're at 40% and they are 120% you have about as much control over the Course Bowser flies.
Lol fatality started sweating on the last game 🤣 Bowser was giving him a run for his money
4 роки тому+1
I would also love some matches against Tweek, Samsora or even DDee. Another thing that would be super fun is a FT10 with Little Z over voice chat, though he is from Australia so the games would be laggier. It would be super meme to watch tho.
That 7th game was just tragic for Leon. He cheesed a Bowsercide, and followed up with over 160%. Then he slipped ever so slightly and he lost his flow. I felt that loss.
I wanna see more content like this!!! I love watching Fatality's First to 10 series. Here are some other players I had in mind: Elegant Kola Tweek Cosmos Esam Samsora Riddles Hungrybox Leffen Mk Leo (with his greninja) I feel like you can get so much viewership with first to 10 matches with these players.
I like how Side B being better as a recovery tool has somewhat made tech checking less of an issue since it's now a 50/50 of being spiked or landing the tech check, depending on the Falcon's choice Edit: For your listening pleasure, change to 0.25% speed 27:52
I might be wrong, but I don't think you should spam airdodge to try to stay out of the blastzone because when you initiate an air dodge you get a small backwards push that can kill you. I saw this somewhere and I just think it's a bit strange that Griffin does it every time.
This was absolutely painful to watch. This matchup is just fucking awful, due to not seeming to be able to do anything. Major props to Leon for sticking it out. This kind of makes me want to give up on sharpening my bowser and switch....
Watching online matches is so much weirder cause both leon and fatality whiff on so many more moves. Guaranteed offline woulda been so exciting with fatality combos and leon 2 frames
I really hope we get back to major tournaments again soon. The Fatality we're seeing in these sets is Civil War tier Fatality, if not better. Really looking forward to offline sets.
Leon put up a better fight than I expected - well done on both sides. I wanna see you go up against Venom's Ryu or Ken next. I can't quite decide which character has the upper hand in that matchup.
Scared I'm gonna wake up tomorrow morning in the middle of a first-to-10 with Fatality.
And as k rool.
*Hey you, you're finally awake!*
Just beat him up :3

Let me be the first to tell you, my dreams are _not_ that good.
28:06 "I should have saved the replay!"
*is streaming on twitch*
ugh plus why would anyone want to subject themselves to the horrible replay system in the game. #sakurwhy
Cokey Coke bro tell me about it lmfao like who the fucks thinks it’s a good idea to not have a reverse or fast forward option for replays!
You can't pause and pan the camera in circles or turn the music off if it's just a video
Its so he could go frame by frame and have different angles to see how that worked
@GetCake DieYoung yeah there just replaying all the inputs I've heard.
27:53 Fatality completes his transformation into a *Falcon 🦅

@@Loxias321 I'm a Ness main and I second Bowser. Funny how everyone agrees. Bowser is dropping lower on meta and ness may possibly arise a little.
Fatality has such a good grasp on this matchup but Leon was keeping up regardless, this was probably one of my favorite ones yet!
true, this matchup is AWFUL for bowser, yet leon made it work somehow.

He can make top 30 ppgr :)
Falcon is so nutty now that it’s scary.
Seriously, this man is on a warpath and Falcon actually looks ready for it
i laughed my ass off when he got that double spike on leon in game 7 stock 2
@@dnatortnator throughout this whole series, I've been just amazed at some of the plays. Sometimes Fatality's falcon is just too nice.
19:42
Captain Falcon: Show me ya moves!
Bowser: *(hesitates then vigorously teabags)*
You should play against Riddles’s Terry next
Or any of RoninX’s shotos as well.
He played Riddles on Riddle's channel already:

I'm pretty sure he has a few first to tens saved up already. He fought Leon last week.

this always seemed like a super hard match up for Bowser before the Falcon Buffs. Glad to see Leon still put up a great fight with his Bowser despite that.
Yeah, especially that he lost to Leon not a while back offline.
@Mark Vögeler fair point. True it was weird we didnt see Leon connect a single 2 frame forward angled down tilt
Mom: what are you watching? You need to get off your phone
Me watching Fatality: but I'm learning Spanish
Mom: oh ok
¡Se acabó!
Capitan Falcon! Capitan Falcon!
Is fatality from Spain?
@@hillbillyboyDakota Not that I know of, I think he is just trying to learn Spanish
Whenever Fatality is ahead by nearly 100% and Leon is near ledge, I can hear "Oh I... I'm just dying in your arms tonight!"
Whenever I see a heavy vs Fatality I always get nervous for the heavy....
"that's what I get for homie stocking, but I have no regrets"
I love that mentality.
It was actually fatalities fault for that stock loss at 4:08 since he controls the direction due to him having lower percent
and 12:32
You can hear him rotating the stick to mash out of the side b I think he just forgot you can control it and can't mash out
I think he does not know about that mechanic. Would have actually helped him out a lot, I hope he reads the comments
@@danielrivera9626 You _can_ mash out, but it would've indeed been way more effective to control the direction
NAME NAME NAME you can’t mash out once you’ve been grabbed

@@Casual_Shots hurtbox shifting is a problem in smash games, but in Ultimate, the inconsistency seems fairly consistent.
I like how fatality calls leon a cheeser when he has the lower percent and thus control of where side b goes
has perfects DI's except for that
If you don’t do anything at all, the bowser still controls it
Didn't know that 👍
@@spaghettiknight6100 it happened multiple times and on the one that inspired this comment he had more control
Yeah the game count would probably have been 10-3 or 10-2 if Fatality knew what like, every intermediate beginner knows lol.

Which probably threw off his control even more, because he died to some sideB's that had no business dragging him off.
27:51
Bowser: *uses both legs to hit Falcon*
Falcon: *uses one knee hitting the air*
both explode
fatality’s little smirk after he knows he did something sick gets me every time
My two favorite player in a first to ten. I love it!
Leon is so frickin good!!! Even in this MU he's still a maniac with bowser, so much respect for the king koopa
27:52
When you find out your favorite e-girl is actually a dude.
double the parts, double the fun
I don’t get it cardboard
trans rights
27:53
Is this the mating call of Falcon mains?
As a falcon confirm this is our mating call
Fatality vs Izaw when? That'd be super hype
Probably soon! He mentioned they collabed not too long ago for an "Art of" video.
Ikr?! Especially since Art of Falcon is on the way.
When has izaw ever beaten a top player?
@@amazinness4131 that's not the point. It's just that people want to see them play each other nobody cares who wins
Believe it or not, some people actually want to have fun at higher levels.
When Fatality did a Falcon Kick into Bowsers flames and said “Oh hell no” all my Bowser PTSD came back
During the Kalos match, you guys had the exact same down throw Nair down throw interaction at the beginning of all three stocks. Love it
Two of my favorite players goin at it in a FT10, I love it! Leon is sooo good at playing patient, especially in awful MU's like this one. An awesome showing from both sides!
Bro this mu looks so cursed for bowser, all you had to do was win neutral once and then you take the stock lmao
For how bad the matchup is I’m impressed by leon keeping up the entire time
3:25 I LOVE Bowser's jab. So satisfying.
My favorite part of smash and especially watching fatality is getting that one string or spike and you can’t help but crack a smile
Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm coming in with the knowledge of what Falcon does to Bowser
Fatality: *G r a b*
Leon: *S P E E N*
3:02 Fatality homie stock respectable have a nice day. Much honor
That was sick, loved seeing Fatality play my favorite player.
Hoping for Fatality vs Magister soon
I clicked on this video faster than sonic. Wanted to see this for a while, maybe Fatality vs Dark Wizzy next?
28:10 I dunno what it is but this dude gasping hysterically is making my day
Leon: *gets a grab*
Fatality: "Nice"
4:08, I think that's the angriest I've ever seen him get.
Fatality, you are a ton of fun to watch and have been popping off lately! Loving those patient recoveries and ledge options. Good stuff, man.
Every time you get Bowsercided with a huge % lead I die on the inside
Bowsercide out of disadvantage
That knee from game 8 broke his spirit.... 27:50
Name a more iconic duo than Leon side b'ing Griffin off stage and Griffin saying "you filthy cheeser"
27:52 Jesus christ this is such a memeable moment
27:51 Smash Kingdom Mayhem Knee hitbox on Bowser? 😂
the nonchalant footstool at 13:45 was a good way to end a match 👌🏻
bowser is literally just combo food for falcon.
Fatality vs a Heavy...I wonder who will win? Ha
you say that but leon is such a good player tho.
@@StephaneLevs he is but matchups also exist, making it more difficult for leon
@Jeremiah Soto look at who won
He lost to LeoN in Frostbite. Same matchup.
@@cornlourd not the same matchup, falcon was super buffed.
Win or lose, I respect Fatality for making his opponent look good in the thumbnail
I can already tell this is gonna be ugly
Leon did awesomely, cancerous matchup notwithstanding
DefenestrateYourself definitely a bad matchup for bowser, but calling it 'cancerous' is disingenuous
Keep this first to 10 series going as long as you can dude
27:52 Just more Fatality noises
27:52 That was godlike!
Your laugh at 27:55 was the best good matches sir
I would love love LOVE to see you do a first to 10 with Riddles and/or Locus
We need to see that explosive Falcon-on-Terry action
Fatality gets a like just for that homey stock in round 2. Downright gentlemanly. Leon is a beast but had a few mis-inputs prob due to playing cold &/or lag.
You showed me your moves, sir. Showed me your moves. 🗽
Love Leon’s “doug” Bowser tag
This first to 10 series convinced me to subscribe to the channel and made me a Fatality fan!
The best bowser player in ultimate
3:02
Fatality making Leon looking like a wi fi bowser
3:58 Does Fatality Know That The Control on that move Depends on percent? Like if you're at 40% and they are 120% you have about as much control over the Course Bowser flies.
Everybody says leon is mashing, but i dont think he is. Bowser doesnt have much options exept airdodge jump and aerial.
Not mashing but doing the same things over and over again
His move set is so slow to come out. Most attacks don’t hit until the 4th frame at least. Makes him look slow and predicable
I don't think I've ever seen a matchup where both characters can DESTROY a stock so quickly.
3:29 best part
I think it’s so funny that he’s so chill with nasty plays I’d be going nuts for some of the stuff he pulls off
5:06 two heavies walk into a bar
That stock at 12:40 was absolutely insane
6:45 lmaoooo my reaction to everything bowser players do
I would love to see heavies become more viable options for competitive play
Leon's words echoed in my head the whole time saying: "Do not get cheesed"🤣🤣
The knee hitbox isn't thaat generous.
The knee hitbox: 27:51
The way Leon plays Bowser.....
Lol fatality started sweating on the last game 🤣 Bowser was giving him a run for his money

27:53 I FELT that.
I immediately recognized the thumbnail from the top and was like:

Leon is so interesting to watch for me, you never know when he’s gonna kill his opponent for the smallest mistake

I love León. It makes me sad that if you watch him play online and then offline you wouldn’t think he was the same player
10:54 I rarely ever hear the crowd gasping in smash ultimate. But that was the loudest one I’ve heard yet
Why is Leon choosing the direction of side b at high damage? Shouldn't Fatality have more control?
Fatality’s laugh is so whimsical😂
I really hope we get back to major tournaments again soon. The Fatality we're seeing in these sets is Civil War tier Fatality, if not better. Really looking forward to offline sets.
skip to 27:50 for maximum jank
Huge props to Leon to fight through such a cancerous match up
The music @31:20 is so fitting that last match was intense lol👌🏻
Fatality’s fighting mentality: *”Do it again”*
Leon put up a better fight than I expected - well done on both sides. I wanna see you go up against Venom's Ryu or Ken next. I can't quite decide which character has the upper hand in that matchup.
