Ludwig Invitational - Acola (Steve) Vs. MkLeo (Byleth) SSBU Ultimate Tournament 

Spoiler alert: yes, he did it again

@megamanxfan02 that's what happens when you think buying the best makes you the best but that might be my bias against steve

Acola probably didn’t have Byleth experience.

@@blackpanther6613 that is a factor as well

He wasn't dismantled...he just got hard MU checked against Byleth, which he clearly knew nothing about on the top level. Leo gets an awesome advantage by playing a rare high tier at a god-tier consistent and safe level.

@@rmlgaming2091 yes that was true acola definitely didn’t know what to do against byleth but still that doesn’t take away how well Leo played this mu

@@voodooedits785 Yeah agreed for sure, but I think dismantled is the wrong word. Maybe a little true on game 3 though.

As it should. Overrated move offline.

@Ceno Malyed idk, i thought his plays were always pretty crisp. acola is genuinely just about the only steve player i genuinely respect a lot, hes sick at this game.

@@imaok10 or, byleth is just a great counter to steve, minecart is still op bs against most characters

@Ceno Malyed the anvils you don't understand are to cover rolls and the minecart is bait

@@firewall5189 true but he, like most Steve players, is not immune to mashing aide b out of disadvantage a lot.

actually he must hate that blocky turd like few people in this world but if you wanna look strong you don't speak up your hatred or fears, that's how it works in competitions

@@noirlavender6409 and/or playing a party game. There's that too.

@@ABC-ik9vj Just because he can be beat doesn’t mean he’s not a poorly designed character… Leo’s the goat, but steve should still be banned

@@DeepfriedBeans4492 Get gud scrub.

@@DeepfriedBeans4492 No he shouldn't. Stop being a crybaby

Closer to Bobby Fisher than Jordan.

@@PNL1992 YES

Are you old enough to watch michael jordan’s games?

Byleth = no skill

@@marioramirez6741 how is this so when he is literally the only Byleth doing this at a top level. Your comment would have more value if you would have said Steve.

Wish he did it more in games 2 and 3 rather than just running at him.

I was just going to say, I've never seen Byleth's bow be used so effectively as it was in this set.

Mind games baby

He used Byleth’s range to punish Steve’s mining, and used the neutral air to prevent Steve from starting a free 70% combo.

i think what helps more in the steve matchup is a disc join rather than speed. steve just cant handle those massive disc joints like on seph, cloud and byleth

And the result everybody waited for

@@PadavidYT agreed

So wait what this guy is saying is that he would go in a Twitter rant if the Steve player won? That's pretty toxic behavior don't you think? You should be proud regardless of who won since they are all great players.

@@etzel9204 he never said that

Cool. One of these two are gonna finally lose.

Its just hard to perform at this level consistently. Part of why Leo was so on point today is he knows he's getting a break for a month+. It really helps you convince yourself you can go all out no matter what

この試合であcolaもっと強くなりそうやなー

Stands in everyone's way except Protobanham

@@fupalover lol

@@fupalover Proto gets 5th and 7th in Japan versus worse players. Proto is not in contention for best player in the world. Next time, Leo will demolish Proto when he actually tries: using joker.

@@Meroknight Japan > NA by far. So its not against worst players. Proto still is in the conversation. He has farmed NA. He's the only player to have a winning record vs the #1 players from US Mexico & Canada. Not his fault NA players don't know how to edgeguard while in Japan they actually edgeguard him. Go watch his matches from Summit and tell me how many times he got edgeguarded. Where at Maesuma and Kagaribi his opponents edgeguarded the hell out of him. Thats not a MU issue. Thats a skill issue. Japan is more skilled than NA. Thats just 1 of the many differences between the 2. We both know if NA players weren't scared they would be getting upsetted at Japan majors as well. As of rn from what I've seen i don't see Leo beating him with Joker. Dabuz isn't an accurate measuring stick. Proto still beats all of Leos characters. But its Leo so he could obviously still win. I just don't think its likely rn.

After this, Leo said he still doesn't really understand the matchup too. I think he just doesn't need to be completely unfamiliar to a matchup to be his usual dominant self.

He said that he just played Maister to practice the matchup.

BTW Acola 3-0 Onin O_o. How many other 3-0s in this tournament?

@@TheHiddenNarrative Yeah I saw the interview. It's amazing how MKLeo didn't need to practice with the best Steve players to dominate to such a degree. He just needed to know what attacks Steve players tend to go for and when. Like, there were times that Acola would try to use minecart and MKLeo would almost immediately counter Steve's side-b with fair. His spacing and confidence around Steve has significantly improved since his battle with Onin.

@@Super_Smash_Dude I'm sure he studied a bit more than he admitted

今のLeoは誰も止めれない

こんなに圧倒的だとは思わなかった。

Don’t you two dunderheads forget it

@Georgina Fox ?????????????????????? bros mad over an avatar reference L

Whereas Acola had no homework to do with Byleth

@@acekingdom5050 I'd say that's pretty accurate

@@acekingdom5050 MKLeo is the literal best player of the world. There are thousands of VODs of his Byleth and he is the most studied top player. Acola most definitely found out all he could to take on the best player in the world.

@@acekingdom5050 Not true, he played a Byleth in Japan, Rizeasu, and lost. Not as good as Leo, but still a good Byleth player.

@@walter9243 Oh really? I didn’t know that. Heard the commentators say Byleth was non-existent in Japan

＠サク丸　ちなみにMaisterと戦ったけど、対スティーブの準備は出来てないってleoはインタビューで言ってるらしい

I liked the part where he shouted “It’s Stevin’ time” and Steved all over Mkleo

Nah man he erased time so we wouldn't see the butt whooping he gave Leo. He has kicks as fast as lightning.

@@harrdeeharr then mwamba came

I probably gave y’all a stroke reading this

@@acekingdom5050 nah you good

@@acekingdom5050 definitely gave me a stroke but at least you recognized it lmao

@@alannulli Lol my bad

ブロック受け身によるカウンターにも、対応した間合いにいんの凄すぎる。だいたいの人の対策ってブロック受け身をそもそもさせない立ち回りをしてんのに。

Yeah leo washed now coincidence as soon as he got braces his result took a massive drop literally as soon as he got braces I wonder if that’s the issue😅 now he’s Mickey Leo

Leo was never in question for top 1 even after his losing streak he just needed to get of those damn Aegis idk why he was trying to force that character so hard

@@youri7229 she is strong and people adapted to his byleth. It was worth the try atleast

I'm sure if Proto was here Leo would've brought out his Joker. Instead only Dabuz got to face that buzzsaw.

@@TheHiddenNarrative he got Joker'd again? Rip Buzby.

@@lyrics2challenged In some stocks leo pretty much freestyled on him, truly a thing of beauty. Poor Dabuz tho.

Acola beat shuton with donkey kong lmao I don’t think he’s carried

@@turntech4776 Carried doesn't always mean not good. Look at Tea, man plays insanely carried characters but his skill is what wins it.

@@vick7868 bro? Name another Pac-Man even close to that level?

@@turntech4776 Thats my point. He plays carried characters but he has skill unlike any other to get to where he is.

@@vick7868 so how is he carried, if the character isn’t carrying people to that level

I feel that. The players themselves are fine but watching Steve get dismantled in game makes me happy

If I would play leo I'd have one objective Just try not to get jv4ed
