He is the greatest ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' player [[Greatest of all time#In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|of all time]] due to his dominance in the first few years of offline ''Ultimate'', which included his top 2 streak at ever offline tournament he attended between {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} in May 2019 and {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} in December 2021. He is currently ranked 11th on [[LumiRank 2023]] and was formerly ranked 1st on the [[Mexican Power Rankings|Mexican Ultimate Power Rankings]]. Originally playing {{SSBU|Ike}}, he later found tournament success with {{SSBU|Lucina}} and {{SSBU|Wolf}} before picking up {{SSBU|Joker}} shortly after the character's release. Although he briefly struggled during the online metagame, he eventually found consistent success after picking up {{SSBU|Byleth}}, as well as {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} following their release, leading him to be ranked 5th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7]]. He has since used a comination of Joker, Byleth, and the Aegis in offline play, while maintaining other characters as counterpicks. | ||
In {{forwiiu}}, MkLeo played {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}}, with {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Lucina}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}} as secondaries. He is his country's best player, ranking 1st on the final [[Mexican Power Rankings|Mexican Smash 4 Power Rankings]], and was considered to be the best player in the world in 2018 after {{Sm|ZeRo}}'s retirement as well as one of the best ''Smash 4'' players of all time, ranking 3rd on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]]. He is also widely considered the best Marth and Cloud player in the world, one of the best Lucina and Bayonetta players in the world, and formerly considered one of the best Corrin players and the best Meta Knight player prior to dropping both characters. Leo arguably popularized both Meta Knight and Marth, characters that had been seen as mediocre after their nerfs from ''[[Brawl]]'', as top players such as {{Sm|Abadango}} have since used Meta Knight against other top players until later updates nerfed the character, as well as lower-leveled players picking up Marth due to his dominance with him. He is the youngest player to win a major ''Smash 4'' tournament, doing so at only 15 years old, achieving this feat at {{Trn|2GGT: ZeRo Saga}}. Due to his aggressive style and heavy punish game with Meta Knight and proving his skills surpass those of top players at a very young age, some compare him to {{Sm|Nairo}}'s early ''Brawl'' career. | In {{forwiiu}}, MkLeo played {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}}, with {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Lucina}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}} as secondaries.

In ''Smash 4'', he usually teamed with {{Sm|komorikiri}} or his cousin {{Sm|Javi}}. Leo/komorikiri consisted of Cloud/Cloud and were considered the best team in the world in 2017, winning several events such as {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}, {{Trn|2GGC: SCR Saga}}, {{Trn|Shine 2017}}, and {{Trn|GameTyrant Expo 2017}}. Leo/Javi generally consisted of Cloud/{{SSB4|Sheik}} or Cloud/Cloud.

MkLeo's tournament record before ''Smash 4'' is relatively unknown, though it was implied that he has been playing competitively since 2008. His first tournament victory came at Anime Expo Mexico TNT 2009, with him being only 8 years of age at the time.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/EsportsArath/status/888138837943365633|title=MkLeo's first victory}}</ref> 5 years later, he attended [[Smash Factor 3]] in ''Project M'' singles, losing to his cousin {{Sm|Serge}} in winners finals, but defeating {{Sm|Ally}} in losers finals. He lost to Serge again in grand finals to place 2nd. | |||
In ''Smash 4'', MkLeo began as a {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} main. Despite the character's unpopularity due to the nerfs from ''Brawl'', MkLeo quickly became known as the best player in Mexico. He gained international fame in the ''Smash'' scene when he won {{Trn|Smash Factor 4}}, Mexico's largest {{forwiiu}} tournament at the time, and defeated {{Trn|EVO 2015}} runner-up {{Sm|Mr.R}} in Grand Finals 3-1, 2-stocking him in each game he won to everyone's surprise. Although Smash Factor 4 was the only PGR tournament he attended that season, he was ranked 19th for the [[Panda Global Rankings v1|first Panda Global Rankings]] due to his performance. Later in the year, he would defeat {{Sm|Vinnie}} 3-1 in Grand Finals at {{Trn|True Combo}}, further proving his capabilities as a player. His victories not only created more interest in the Mexican ''Smash'' scene, but also helped popularize Meta Knight. | In ''Smash 4'', MkLeo began as a {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} main.

The following season continued MkLeo's dominance. He would have a weak start by losing to Marss twice at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}}, the first Smash Factor tournament MkLeo attended and failed to win. Then, at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, the largest ''Smash'' tournament to date, MkLeo would fall to {{Sm|kameme}} 0-2 in Winner's Top 24. This, however, didn't hold him back and he would make one of the best Loser's run of his career, defeating {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|ScAtt}}, and {{Sm|Abadango}} to reach Top 8, and then {{Sm|zackray}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, Samsora, and {{Sm|Glutonny}} to reach Tweek in Grand Finals. Although Tweek would defeat MkLeo in the first 2 games, MkLeo held on, taking the third game. In the fourth game, MkLeo would make an impressive 3-stock comeback and would dominate Tweek in the remaining four games, winning EVO for the first time. The next week at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} MkLeo would be in the exact same situation: after falling to Samsora in Winner Semi-Final, he would tear through the Loser's Bracket and defeat Samsora 3-2 and 3-0 in the bracket reset, claiming victory at his second Super Smash Con. | The following season continued MkLeo's dominance.

For the rest of the season, MkLeo would place 1st at every single tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, {{Trn|Mainstage}}, and [https://start.gg/tournament/mega-smash-mondays-213/details Mega Smash Mondays 213]. He would only lose to 6 players at PGRU tournaments - Marss, kameme, Samsora, Nairo, Glutonny, and ESAM; Marss, Samsora, and Glutonny would also be the only players who would take more than one set off of him. MkLeo also became notorious for clutching out game 4 in sets against players while down 1-2, such as against Tweek at EVO 2019 and Samsora at Super Smash Con 2019, earning him the nickname "Game 4 Leo." | For the rest of the season, MkLeo would place 1st at every single tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, {{Trn|Mainstage}}, and [https://start.gg/tournament/mega-smash-mondays-213/details Mega Smash Mondays 213].

Leo's first tournament of 2020 was {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} where he tried to defend his three-year winning streak. He was initially sent into Loser's bracket by {{Sm|Samsora}} in a game 5 set during top 8 and, after fighting through several top players, lost to Marss 0-3 in Grand Finals, ending the streak. He would bounce back next month with his victory at {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}. Although he was upset 0-3 by {{Sm|Prodigy}} in winners Top 96, he tore through the Loser's bracket, defeating the likes of {{Sm|Salem}}, {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, Samsora, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Zackray}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Tea}}, and {{Sm|Tweek}} to reach Grand Finals; | Leo's first tournament of 2020 was {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} where he tried to defend his three-year winning streak.

In Grand Finals, he 6-0'd Maister to win the whole tournament, famously choosing {{SSBU|Byleth}} for the final game. | ||
With the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] shutting down tournaments worldwide, MkLeo began to participate in online tournaments. However, he quickly realized that Joker performed noticeably worse online and attempted to find a new online main, using Byleth, Lucina, Cloud, Wolf, and Greninja throughout the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5]] season. At the start of the season, MkLeo would struggle to place top 8 at major online tournaments, falling to Wi-Fi Warriors such as {{Sm|IcyMist}}, {{Sm|BestNess}}, {{Sm|Epic_Gabriel}}, and {{Sm|Kola}}, as well as other players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and rat. He also developed a bracket demon in {{Sm|Sonix}}, who held an 8-2 record over him by the end of the season. He would match his worst offline placement twice, first at {{Trn|The Box}}, losing to {{Sm|Jw}} and Prodigy, and then at [https://start.gg/tournament/the-box-juice-box-8/details The Box: Juice Box 8], losing to {{Sm|GamingHI9x9}} and {{Sm|AoS}}. | With the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] shutting down tournaments worldwide, MkLeo began to participate in online tournaments.

After MkLeo's most fragile year yet, he began working on ways to keep his hold on the throne. The most notable change was his character lineup, as MkLeo swapped out his {{SSBU|Byleth}} for his former main {{SSBU|Joker}} while maintaining many other characters as secondaries. He put this Joker to use at {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves 2023}}, but the choice initially backfired, as after being defeated by {{Sm|Tweek}}, he stubbornly stuck with the character against {{Sm|Sonix}}, resulting in his first ever loss to his former online bracket demon, ending his run at 4th. Nevertheless, he stuck with his character choices in {{Trn|GENESIS 9}}. Although he used Joker for most of the tournament, he pulled out {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} against {{Sm|Justice|p=Washington}} to barely clutch out a 3-2 victory, and used {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} against Sonix, where despite going down 2-0, MkLeo managed to reverse the bracket and redeem his previous loss. Although he did also pull out his Byleth, it ultimately cost MkLeo his set to {{Sm|MuteAce}}, who defeated the Byleth in the first 2 games and took a win over the Joker in the fourth, knocking MkLeo into Loser Finals. Following yet another reverse 3-0, this time against {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, MkLeo stuck with the Joker for all 2 sets against MuteAce, and despite MuteAce surviving to high percents for almost every game, MkLeo was able to defeat MuteAce twice, claiming his fifth ever GENESIS title. | After MkLeo's most fragile year yet, he began working on ways to keep his hold on the throne.

However, GENESIS proved to be an outlier for his season, as MkLeo followed it up with his worst performances since the early metagame: 9th place finishes at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}, {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}, and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}} -- with more losses than wins at Summit -- as well as a 13th place finish at {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}. His record against | However, GENESIS proved to be an outlier for his season, as MkLeo followed it up with his worst performances since the early metagame: 9th place finishes at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}, {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 6}}, and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}} -- with more losses than wins at Summit -- as well as a 13th place finish at {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}. His record against Tweek, {{Sm|Riddles}}, and {{Sm|Glutonny}} continued to worsen as they became three of his biggest bracket demons, with Riddles notably defeating him 3-0 at both Collision and Summit. Furthermore, MkLeo began dropping more sets to players outside of the top 10, including to {{Sm|ShinyMark}} at Collision, {{Sm|ApolloKage}} at Summit, and {{Sm|Jakal}} at {{Trn|Crown the Third}}. Conversely, his record against the top 10 worsened, as for the first half of 2023 he not only had a losing record against his three bracket demons but also a losing record {{Sm|acola}} and an even record with {{Sm|Sparg0}}, with acola soundly defeating MkLeo at Summit and Sparg0 double-eliminating MkLeo at {{Trn|MAJOR UPSET}}, which marked the first ''Ultimate'' major that MkLeo lost from the Winner's side of Grand Finals. These performances were also hindered by MkLeo's continued character crisis, from adding {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} to his lineup at Summit to sticking to only the Aegis and Byleth for MAJOR UPSET and Crown, to returning to Joker at Get On My Level. Due to his underwhelming major performances and poor record against players in the top 10, most players stopped considering MkLeo for the season's top 3, let alone the best player in the world. This was ultimately reflected in his final placement on the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]], where he fell all the way down to 7th, the first time he was not ranked in the top 5 since the [[PGR v2]]. | ||
Following this season, MkLeo decided to take a step back from competing to focus on his personal life, opting to only attend events in Mexico until October. He attended a few events during this time, including the supermajor {{Trn|Smash Factor X}} and the major {{Trn|Delfino Maza 2023}}. His performance at these events, however, were also rather underwhelming; aside from winning two superregionals, MkLeo underperformed at most of the events he attended. For example, Smash Factor X marked the first Smash Factor event since {{Trn|Smash Factor 2013}} where he didn't make Grand Finals, as he ultimately placed 5th. In addition, this period saw MkLeo gain his first-ever unranked loss, losing to {{Sm|SuperDog}} 2-1 at {{Trn|Hooters Universidad Smash Ultimate}}, a regional event where he ultimately placed 4th. | |||
Little seemed to change once October came, as the next three majors were by far the worst of MkLeo's | Little seemed to change once October came, as the next three majors were by far the worst of MkLeo's slump. The first was at {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind 2023}}, where after losing 3-0 to {{Sm|Skinny the Pooh}} in an infamous upset, MkLeo ran into Riddles in Loser's Round 4. Despite pulling out Marth, who he used to defeat Riddles previously, Riddles won the set 3-2, eliminating MkLeo at 17th. This trend would continue at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2023}}, as MkLeo would lose yet another set to a {{SSBU|Mario}} player, this time to {{Sm|Kurama}}, before losing 3-1 to {{Sm|SHADIC}} for 13th. Finally, at {{Trn|Port Priority 8}} he lost to rising star {{Sm|Kaninabe}} 3-2 before losing to MuteAce in the runback 3-0 to place 17th yet again. A recurring theme in these sets were MkLeo's choice of characters: for example, his loss to Skinny the Pooh was with Joker, a character known to struggle against Mario. His loss to Kurama was surprisingly with {{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}, it’s unknown as to why he did not opt for {{SSBU|Byleth}} or {{SSBU|Aegis}} which it what he used previously to take three sets off of him. Lastly, his loss to MuteAce was with Byleth even though MuteAce had soundly defeated MkLeo's Byleth beforehand. As such, many began to question MkLeo's character roster and whether he was juggling too many characters at the same time. In fact, many players also began questioning whether MkLeo was anywhere near the top 10 that season, let alone in the top 10. | ||
There was still some hope left, as aside from a disappointing {{Trn|Sunrise 2023}} run, where he placed 9th losing to {{Sm|KID}} and {{Sm|Supahsemmie}}, MkLeo managed to clean up his game and saw a small resurgence in the last few weeks of the season. First, his trip to Europe saw him attend the major {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023}}, and his performance marked MkLeo's best performance in months. After falling to {{Sm|NaetorU}} while using {{SSBU|Lucina}}, MkLeo ran through the Loser's bracket, surviving game 5 sets against {{Sm|BassMage}} and {{Sm|Tarik}} and defeating the tournament's #1 seed {{Sm|Tea}} before falling to {{Sm|Raflow}} for 4th. Although on one hand this was the first European event he failed to win, on the other hand MkLeo's win over Tea marked his first top 20 win since Sonix at Wavedash 2023. In addition, MkLeo's performance at the final major of the year, {{Trn|Watch The Throne}}, was equally as solid. Although his first two days were rough, where he defeated {{Sm|KEN}} but lost to Sonix, {{Sm|Lui$}}, and {{Sm|Sparg0}} in the Gauntlet to start on the Loser's side, MkLeo managed to defeat ApolloKage and {{Sm|Dabuz}} before losing to KEN in the runback for 7th. Despite this placement, MkLeo once again claimed a few top 20 wins. These two runs convinced players that MkLeo could see a potential comeback in the future: despite underperforming and ultimately finishing 11th on the [[LumiRank 2023]], many players were confident that MkLeo could regain his former glory, especially after he announced his motivation returning for the game. | |||

*MkLeo has won the largest prize check | *{{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}} and {{Trn|EVO 2017}} stand as MkLeo's worst tournaments, placing 65th at both. | ||
*MkLeo is also a very skillful [[doubles]] player, especially with set partners. | |||
**MkLeo and his cousin {{Sm|Javi}} have only ever lost five doubles tournaments teaming together. As such, they are considered to be one of the best doubles teams in the world, winning the "Best Doubles Team in ''Smash 4''" award at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}. | |||
**In addition, prior to {{SSB4|Cloud}}'s ban from doubles, MkLeo and {{Sm|komorikiri}} had never lost a doubles tournament, notably winning Super Smash Con 2017, {{Trn|2GGC: SCR Saga}}, {{Trn|Shine 2017}}, and {{Trn|GameTyrant Expo 2017}}. As a result, they were widely considered to be one of the greatest ''Smash 4'' doubles teams of all time. | |||
**In ''Ultimate'', MkLeo enters doubles with Glutonny in majors, winning doubles at Mainstage, 2GG: Kongo Saga and {{Trn|Collision 2022}} and finishing 2nd at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. | |||
*MkLeo has won the largest prize check for ''Smash 4'' for winning the {{Trn|2GG Championship}}, earning $20,000. | |||
*MkLeo's ability to make a comeback in ''Ultimate'' sets is so strong that from the release of ''Ultimate'' to throughout 2021, he has won roughly half of the best-of-5 sets where he started the set 0-2 at PGRU events. He is the only player to hold this title out of players that have started out 0-2 in at least eight sets at PGRU events. | |||
