Leonardo "MKLeo" Lopez-Perez has won the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament at Genesis 4 with a 3-2 win over Elliot "Ally" Bastien Carroza-Oyarce in the first set of the Grand Finals.

Some of the players that MKLeo defeated on his way to the grand finals were: Ally 3-1, Ramin "Mr. R" Delshad 3-0, Furukawa "Komorikiri" Rei 3-2, and Matt "Elegant" Fitzpatrick 3-2. MKLeo was recently ranked eighth in the world on the second iteration of the Panda Global Smash 4 rankings, and is the youngest professional Smash 4 player to win a tournament of this size at just 15 years old.

MKLeo was recently signed to Echo Fox as their second Super Smash Bros. player when the org signed several top fighting game free agents, including Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat players.

Ally, for his part, put in the work this tournament as well, dispatching Kawamura "Abadango" Yuta, James "VoiD" Makekau-Tyson, Rich Brown, and Mason "Locus" Charlton on his road to the winner's finals, where he fell to MKLeo. In the loser's finals, Ally had a close set with least year's Genesis champion Gonzalo "ZeRo" barrios, defeating him 3-2 before facing off against MKLeo once again.

However, the Top 8 was still full of drama, even outside of the Grand Finals. The loser's bracket set between Komorikiri and Zack "Captain Zack" Lauth was interrupted when the players realized that the game's settings had been altered to cause knockback to be reduced to 90 percent. The tournament organizers ruled that Zack and Komorikiri would play the fourth game of their set again with settings restored to normal, leading Zack to win 3-1. However, the altered settings did affect the rest of the match, which led to outcry from the community.

It is still unclear if the altered settings were in place during the previous loser's bracket set between ZeRo and Samuel "Dabuz" Buzby, though Dabuz alleges that it did in fact affect their match. Dabuz lost the match 3-1, and was eliminated from the tournament.
