Leo is a 15-year old Meta Knight main from Mexico. He burst onto the Smash scene when he won Smash Factor 4, Mexico's largest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament ever, defeating Mr. R in grand finals 3-1, 2-stocking him in each game he won. Later in the year, at another Mexican tournament, True Combo, Leo defeated Vinnie in grand finals, further proving his capabilities as a player and creating more interest in the Mexican Smash scene as a whole. Due to his aggressive style and heavy punish game with Meta Knight and proving that his skills could potentially surpass those of top players at a very young age, some have compared him to Nairo's early Super Smash Bros. Brawl career, and he is also considered to be the best Smash 4 Meta Knight main in the world. He arguably popularized Meta Knight, a character having been seen as mediocre after his nerfs from Brawl as many top players such as Abadango, Nairo and Mr. R have since used him against other top players. Leo is currently ranked 1st on the Mexican Smash 4 Power Rankings. He recently attended his first tournament outside of Mexico, Get On My Level 2016, and got 5th. He notably sent Nairo to losers bracket in a 3-1 set, and almost defeated ZeRo in a last hit, last stock situation, proving that he can go toe-to-toe with the top players.

Trivia
- Prior to Smash@Tier3 Volume 6, he had won every single Mexican Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament that he had entered. However, Serge (his cousin) managed to defeat him twice at said tournament, ending his streak.
- He is cousins with Serge and his younger brother Javi. The three often practice together.
- Due to visa issues, Leo has been unable to attend an American tournament. He received his Canadian visa after registration for Get On My Level 2016 had closed, but a decision was made by TOs to allow him to enter despite this, due to a widespread community approval.
