You rarely see it come up by Kazuya had innate tough guy which nullifies really weak hits like that. It's so rare Spargo probably wasn't prepared for it and in the moment couldn't understand what happened
@@damiancarr168 yeah i first learned about that with bowser. Its certainly something a pro should know about, but cloud has no weak moves so i can see how he forgot lol
Nah that wasn’t budget tough guy, you can see kazuya flinch from jab 1, but jab 2 just completely misses because riddles somehow ended up behind spargo, and he dies for it.
kazuya’s reflector requires a dash in first which essentially renders the reflector useless bc not only does it have to be a criminally absurd fallout but you also have to run TOWARDS the projectile to reflect it. his reflector is essentially useless for the most part lol.
Does that increase the damage it inflicts? I mean, it already does a lot of damage by itself, so with Kazuya's reflector I can't Imagine how strong it could get
@@itsevanonyt it is counterintuitive, but since sparg0 used it mainly when offstage it would've benefited riddles to do it. The damage after reflecting is crazy
I prefer this type of matches, especially in a game that is basically not being character-balanced by the developers anymore. I'm not saying Cloud is unbalanced, but some other characters are, and this limits them.
I can only wonder if Kazuya's reflector kick would've come in handy to send all those Ptooeys and poison clouds back at Plant. I'm sure Riddles wrote that function out of his game plan because it's normally so impractical, but Plant's projectiles are so telegraphed, and would be serious threats going back to sender with multipliers.
against poison, definitely. against ptooie, that only really works when plant is using it while recovering high. otherwise the arc it's reflected at sends it above plant and then kaz gets dash attacked.
@@iknowwhereyoulive618 of course, but most of the time Spargo was flinging it was during his recovery anyway, so the venn diagram of "times Riddles can and should reflect Ptooey" was a near circle here
9:17 will someone explain this combo to me? I havent played competitively for a long time, is all of that combo true? Can you not tech when he nairs you to the ground? I swear I’ve seen some people escape it.
Im not too sure myself but my best guess is that there is some chance at escape. That and the combo execution has to be quite good for it to be a true 0-death.
@@Cro0kiD Not really a way to "mix it up perfectly" if the Kazuya reads your DI right, you're just dead. And Riddles is THE Kazuya so there's a good chance you just die
@@Contrary22 And beyond mid, too. Pmuch nobody plays it in any kind of tourney. Yet here Sparg0 is, doing it in Squad Strike Grands, and it worked unreasonably well.

@@juniperrodley9843 he is man. Kazuya is trash. U can play perfectly vs a Kazuya, dodging all the eletric and so on. But if he catches u one time, u're dead if he knows the combo. this gameplay is just horrible, as u see spargo destroyed him when he didnt have Kazuya
@@guillaume6820 yeah Kazuya's broken, saying Riddles is carried by him is laughably false though. He uses Kazuya, and I wish he didn't as much as the next girl, but I take that as a reason to disagree with his choices, not disrespect his one-in-a-million skill.
Kazuya and Steve users don't get my respect one bit....idc if you're the best ,as long as you rely only on the most toxic characters in the end, you're still a noob to me
@@ABC-ik9vj you must have watched a different video because he didn't use a random character, Spargo practices byleth consistently and he didn't lose. So, i don't know what your talking about
Fun fact: pirhana plant took more stocks than Spargo's Aegis this set.
Of course it did--he led with plant. If your last char is picking up the most stocks, you're losing.
@@Jingoa I mean his last character took more stocks than his second.
@@Sacred_Fox cause his second barely did anything 😂
Spent a good chunk of the video just going "AM I ACTUALLY WATCHING A PIRANHA PLANT BEAT RIDDLES' KAZUYA?"
Sparg0 using plant makes me so incredibly happy because it is one of my favorite characters, it's just so goofy but I absolutely love it! 🤣

Spargo should use a pocket plant in single brackets.

Spargo plant being more real than his byleth is absolutely crazy to me
if Spargo went Cloud instead of Byleth he probably wins 3-0. Just a little cleanup after Plant lol

Cannot tech the nairs. From my limited kazuya knowledge I think you can DI out of that second EWGF -> nair if you mix it up perfectly but im not sure

And Riddles is THE Kazuya so there's a good chance you just die
When you are playing a character that doesn't have a reflector, disjoint or counter (like the fgcs) spitooie is actually pretty good
Or Kirby stealing and using it
Kazuya does have a reflector, funnily enough, and an absurdly strong one if it works... but it's not too great against projectiles like Ptooie.
What?
Es entretenido el Roy de Riddles aunque le falte algo de entrenamiento, me alegro de haberlo visto en acción un poco.
I love it when Riddles plays Belmont, I’m with you commentators
🤮🤮🤮
Absolutely. Belmont set ups link together like LoZ: Four Swords
As a plant main, this puts a smile on my face... but that byleth gameplay immediately took it away 😂
How come Spargo didn’t go cloud at all?
Maybe he wants to save it for singles, like doesn't want people to get a read on him.
That’s exactly why

They were making a read.

They should add crash bandicoot

Riddles' roy is not good why does he keep picking him when he's better at wolf. Plus he can just go ryu/terry/kazuya or belmont/terry/kazuya
He needed someone who could keep up with Pyra/Mythra's nonsensically busted frame data/disjoints. In that regard, Roy is essentially a worse Aegis.
Maybe cause ridles doesnt have fundies and gets carried:/
