MKLeo's School of Smash - Neutral 

Im so happy you guys are enjoying this first episode! Let's get this video to 4k likes before the end of the day boys, share it with your friends so more people can learn!

“one of the best byleths, of course not better than mine because I’m the goat” 😂😂😂

What I learnt about MkLeo: He reacts at frame 1

I know they're not crucial, but the little animations (like "Whiff!/Punish!", the character examples sliding in, or Lucina appearing with the glitchy read pixels) really help. It's just an extra flourish that helps with communicating what you're saying, and they look cool enough to keep me engaged. I hope you keep in all these small things throughout this series.

6:41 top level gameplay by player one there

I just want to say: Awesome Intro

I think another key point about neutral is just keeping a calm mind and staying patient. A lot of times you can lose neutral just because you lose your cool and try to rush in. Excellent guide!

00:00 : intro 01:02 : Spacing 01:58 : Whiff Punish 02:40 : Defensive Options 03:11 : Offensive Options 03:57 : Properties 05:40 : Application 08:24 : Breakdown 12:40 outro

«The one who plays neutral the best, is the one who’s gonna win» *Plays a clip of G&W mashing down smash*

I’m glad that this actually show cases the disjoints and swords instead of just seeing you talk about (whatever topic goes here). I remembering seeing the T1 video about joker guide and it seemed so off to me. But this one is actually amazing. Loved the improvement

for anyone wondering how byleth double jumped twice at 11:28, the first was a phantom footstool

dude your english is getting better and better! love the content!

I can already tell that this series is gonna be amazing

Neutral? More like MASH CENTRAL

Most people that make informational videos like this try to keep it super duper professional, almost suit and tie uncomfortably professional, but I really appreciate the fact that you that your personality show through.

I haven't seen a tutorial that goes into such good detail about little interactions like this it really helps you get into the mind of a high caliber player

Honestly I love how well constructed this is and all of the little details to really push the lesson home. This was very well done!

I love the slo-mos. The breakdown of your recent matches truly helps!

I am so glad you're making videos. Great job! I shared this with my entire Smash group. Looking forward to the next!

Awesome video- huge fan of yours and looking forward to more of these. Love hearing top players breakdown strategies to improve.

The editing in this is pretty good. Damn.

Thanks for this leo! I’m excited for the rest of this series and I think it’ll make a lot of players like myself a lot better.

This was really well made! From editing to concise and clear examples. Excellent work. My only bit of advice is timestamps to help navigate to specific parts of the video for reference, but that’s just a small thing.

Leo opened up the series with the most important tech in smash

Ok, this is a great video. Well explained, well exemplified and the edition is sick. I'm hyped for the next one. Thanks for this.

I heard the best player in the world, chippy, would be in a future episode?

This was really cool, the breakdown was definitely the most helpful part imo

Gran video pa, ya quiero ver los demas!

"The person who plays neutral the best will win" *GAW spamming d-smash and winning in the backround*

this was really well made, good job

So excited for more, this is amazing!

Great first episode thank you!! The basics information into applications of them, was super helpful! One area of improvement is to breakdown common smash terms like "disjoints" for those who don't know. Overall A+ thank you!

This is by far your best video I really like how you talk smoothly you don't waste too much time on any point and you have clear very good examples good job.

This video was really useful! At the start it seemed geared much towards beginners, but then things got more in-depth.

This is great, I feel a little overwhelmed but I hope I can get all of this.

It was an amazing first episode I leard the most about the whip punishing but you explained it very nice. Thank you for all of that. ❤️❤️❤️

11:03 was so funny to me lmao

Shoutout to Smash University! Great video.

This is really good. Must say, your reaction is so quick. Wow.

Actually very nice video explaining how to win neutral. People always say neutral is to complicated to explain but you simplified it in a very good way without leaving important stuff out.

Cannot wait 4 the next ep. This vod is sooo useful. Notifications on

4:30 don’t forget, invicibility is when you receive the attack but it has not effect (no damage, nothing) but people can still grab you, and intangibility is when nothing affects you

I really liked this episode I’m really excited for this series!!

Great footage and editing

I didn't really learn anything, I was just reminded that, once again, my brain is just too slow for me to even be considering playing this game competitively. But in all seriousness, this video is very informative and well-made, and I am certainly looking forward to more advice from the second-best Byleth in the world!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

Por eso hay más razones para que leo es un ejemplo a seguir 🛐 xd Leo eres el mejor

These videos have helped me more than any others on youtube

I'm loving the videos, Leo! One comment though, when you go into the analysis, it'd be awesome to see the whole interaction at full speed once you've explained your logic, so we can see the speed those decisions need to be made at, and the kind of windows you actually have to make them! Either way, awesome explanations all around. On the same level as things like iZaW's videos for quality, but definitely serving a different niche and style, which is awesome. Smash can only benefit from more quality content like this!

I'm always looking to improve thank you for making videos like this

This is a great video, thanks for the lesson, Leo!

Thanks Leo. I'll try to take advantage of the tips in this vid.

That last section was LEGIT. We need more "inside the mind of MKLeo" moments, with the slow motion and everything. What I learned: honestly to never stop thinking about your opponent's habits, especially defensive habits after taking pressure.

Nice video. I look forward for more

Looking forward to seeing more :)

Way to break it down! Thanks a lot man. Really appreciate it.

This was so informative, nice!

Thank you for this info, I really needed it😅😅

Since it was announced I was looking for this thanks leo

I LOVE THIS MORE LEO NEUTRAL BREAKDOWNS PLEASE

Great video, you just earned a subscriber

Mkleo thank you so much for This Video I lernt a lot of how to play neutral.

Love this series thank you so much 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Great new series!

Quede loco con tu vídeo Leo. Es un increíble como piensas cuando juegas…

Thanks for the great video!

This is rlly good content, it's a shame we never got more. But ty Leo

Oh damn, this is really an upgrade in content.

This series will be very cool

Tus videos junto la guía de Serge me ayudaron a mejorar bastante

Yes I’ve been waiting for something like this

I learned to not only pay attention to my opponents options, but also how my opponent views my options, and how they react to what options I choose

I’m so hype for the School of Eh-Smash

Man's eyes are looking like angels with that lighting 😇

11:05 lmao

I learned that "how to physically hit another's shield in neutral" really depends on what your character's personal strengths are. With pikachu I felt I could only do back air or down-tilt, possibly neutral air. My bairs are just barely decent sadly. But I never thought of characters like fox/greninja who can attack/run out of shield, or even Min Min X'D. Every character has a style, but then that style must be matched with the fight itself. I got so tunnel visioned I forgot about whiffing and baiting. Sometimes doing less is so much more.

This was rad, thank you the only thing that was missing was an MK example. MK B META

Love the video! Currently speeding persona 5 (merciless)

Leo is a legend for this video!

Thanks for the tips professor

Whiff punishing is something I knew but I usually don't think about it when being in game, so I'll try to apply it more by making my opponent think he can hit me when I can dodge it in time and then punish them for that.

I’ve been waiting for this

Super good video thanks for teaching me neutral.

6:05 “determinate” lol I love Leo’s English

Wow! Well made video!

First thing he covers spacing lmaooo

Red bull, the fizzy drinks company and f1 team sponsered you. You goin places bro

I’ve always had a problem spacing moves in neutral with DDD. Thanks for the tips!

A weird thing about this game is that someone can be completely unsafe but still attack before you get the chance to punish, that makes me crazy

Excellent content. I had like 3 different oooohhhhhhh moments

Muchas gracias leo, lo que siempre soñe saludos desde Colombia

Thank you Leo, very cool

'pleeeaaz ,make sure to sheaer' yessir

i’ll use this guide to improve my joker more

Hopefully this can help me be less trash. Thanks for making this

Man the red bull sponsor is way too sick

very good video MKleo :D

Can’t wait this is going to be hype

I love the intro

SCHOOL OF SMASH POGGERS!!
