Leonardo López Pérez (born January 20, 2001),[1] better known as MkLeo and sometimes Leo, is a Mexican professional Super Smash Bros. player. He was widely considered the best Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player in the world during the pre-COVID era,[2] and was ranked #1 in the Panda Global Rankings for the first and second half of 2019.[3] Prior to the release of Ultimate, he was ranked as the best player in the world at Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for the first half of 2018.

Between Wii U and Ultimate, MkLeo has won approximately 40 major tournaments, including 16 supermajors. These include the Ultimate bracket at Evo 2019, the largest offline tournament by number of entrants in the Smash franchise's history, and the inaugural Smash World Tour in 2021, the culmination of a year-long worldwide tournament series. From May 2019 until March 2022, MkLeo did not place lower than 2nd at any offline Ultimate event, a streak which lasted 35 straight tournaments.

MkLeo has won more Ultimate supermajor tournaments than any other player (17), seven more than the player who has won the next most, あcola, the current world #1.
