m (bit of an intro cleanup, I don't think the ranking is really warranted to list in the intro if he's already listed as the greatest Ultimate player of all-time, nor is any other rankings that relevant when it's already listed in other sections) |

'''MkLeo''', also known simply as '''Leo''', is a smasher from Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico, who previously lived in Florida, United States, and is currently living in Mexico City. 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 every offline tournament he attended between {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} in May 2019 and {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} in December 2021 | '''MkLeo''', also known simply as '''Leo''', is a smasher from Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico, who previously lived in Florida, United States, and is currently living in Mexico City.

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, and has since used a combination of Joker, Byleth, and the Aegis in offline play, while maintaining several 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.
