I'm pretty sure he meant a lower level MK in general, guys.
I agree with Mr. R being the overall best vs s as well. Literally every facet of his style is built to respond to everything MK does in the most optimal ways possible; and he tends to recover the safest while Mike can find himself stranded at times. Both are pretty godlike on stage though.
Then again...I think after what Leon displayed, he should not be slept on at all. With a couple more tweaks, he could very well make it a three-way contention for best Marth. We all saw what he did to Larry (it's...kind of scary what Leon can do once he gets momentum, as displayed in that set), and he went toe-to-toe with Nairo for the most part (though I'm sure some of it has to do with Nairo being very aggressive which is something Leon is comfortable with). Needless to say, it's nice to see some Marth gameplay truly blossom against some of the top players in the world. Very exciting stuff.
