I do have to say Samsora's a champ for sticking with Peach even after nerfs (though looking back, those nerfs didn't actually do much towards Peach).

That said, MKLeo got the reset on Samsora; this may turn out to be a repeat, but Samsora does have what it takes to make a comeback; so does MKLeo, however.

Samsora 3-1s MKLeo

I can't even imagine how Samsora is feeling right now, holy guacamole.

It's rare I'd ever applaud a Peach main, but man does Samsora deserve it.

After the bomb, I was concerned it was just a fluke, but that 3-1 solidified that sam definitely deserved that.

Samsora played this MU, just like Kameme at EVO, really passively.
You need to have a lot of patience to play this defensively.

I'm sure if Hbox were as good in Ultimate as in Melee then he'd crush Leo.
It seems like players are really scared once Arsene is out and think they have to intercept Joker somehow but having a good defensive play is key to success. Or so it seems.

I think it's interesting how passive, almost campy play was frowned upon prior to this recent month by most people, myself included, but seeing it used against a machine like Leo's joker brought so much hype. Maybe it's because rather than being another episode of "Snake camps you out and kills you with uptilt/nikita" or "Olimar gets 70% within 15 seconds" there was much more of a story with this fight.

Everything was so deliberate and you got to see how this character that was shutting down everyone since Summer finally met its match. Not to mention Peach combos are fun to watch too.
