I find it kind of incredible that these 2 manage to have such exciting matches almost every time they fight. It feels like Sonix should just dominate all their matches but Riddles always manages to put up a stubborn fight and even take the win on occasion.
Terry does decent against sonic. Huge meaty hitboxes with good burst, a projectile that restricts grounded approaches, a killing out of shield option and GO mechanic make Sonic real cautious about trying to steamroll Terry.
Could it be that the matchup is actually decent for Terry? I know Sonic typically beats FGCs but it's always close between these two and Terry just seems to deny so much space. Add on the fact that he kills so early and it seems relatively even.
Its still a bad mu for Terry, its just that the other fgc's have it worse that I honestly didn't expect Riddles to win one of his sets against Sonix this year
Terry is guaranteed to get GO in this MU. He is the only FGC who has burst options. You still get the problem where you have to predict where Sonic will go but at least when you get it right you cover a lot of space and sonic dies. Sonic doesn't have any cheese or ways to get early kills unless it is a hard read. Otherwise Sonic game plan is to rack up damage until you catch them with spindash at ledge or high enough to die from raw bair. In the meantime Terry just looks for trades or any small milage until he is able to steal a stock incredibly early thanks to high rage and GO meter. TLDR; Terry will get GO every stock since Sonic has to rack up damage until opponents are very high percents to kill.
Aegis goes even or slightly sonic favored and Mythra can actually catch up to sonic. The numbers may lead you to believe that this mu is close but realistically it’s based on Sonix’s mistakes, Riddles playing neutral super well and a whole lot of lucky or hard reads. And basing any match up that requires that many reads and call outs isnt really “even”
If I'm not mistaken, Sonix was mistakenly told by an official that he was in Top 24 and he was already of out the venue, but in reality he needed to play Riddles and the TOs were trying to get Sonix back ASAP due to the error and excused him of any DQ.
@@vicstonek9 Sonix vs Riddles already was an top 24 match - the point of confusion is that top 24 officially starts at sunday but some top 24 matches for winners / losers side already started saturday. The official wasnt wrong in saying that Sonix made top 24 and sonix assumed that he woulndnt have to play because the schedule officially says top 24 - sunday
Rising Tackle is similar to Cloud's Climhazzard, where neither move is designed to immediately snap the ledge, compared to most recoveries & ledge grab options.
@SussyBaka_irl I meant in general. I understand why he's not going low. I'm asking why he can't just grab ledge. There were plenty of times he airdodges on the stage when he could have airdodged off the stage to grab ledge. Him always going on the stage did make sonix start expecting that so I imagine Riddles could have even double jumped to it normally. I feel like his crack shoot from ledge is a difficult thing when you also have to worry about the 4 normal ledge options
@@theexaltedlt8222 thats not the point lol. If sonic runs in on terry and boxes , hes not better than terry. If he plays lame his character is better lol. Imo characters designed to do side b in neutral are inherently lame. It makes the opposing character have to play lame because they are constantly thinking burst option. Then you get lame optimal gameplay from both sides
sonic & Steve are the WORST characters to watch. literally the ENTIRE set is just sonic spinning from one side to the other while the opponent chases him. so stupid and annoying.
match shouldn't have even happened. Sonix was 30 minutes late. I've seen people DQ''d over 2 minutes. Boy should've been outta there. But no. He got that privilege.
@@Contrary22Not privilege. TOs made a mistake and had to get Sonix back in the venue to fix it when he already left and that's why Sonix was late. So DQing him over a TOs mistake would be completely unfair.

That matchup is not *that* bad for Terry honestly.
@@vzy8354
it’s not, but it feels miserable to play (as is most characters vs sonic)
At least you get the dopamine hit from robbing with go
Sonix should sweep yeah but similar with Sparg0, its definitely a player matchup vs riddles than a character matchup
Sonix should go play chess or something else... sucks
Terry does decent against sonic. Huge meaty hitboxes with good burst, a projectile that restricts grounded approaches, a killing out of shield option and GO mechanic make Sonic real cautious about trying to steamroll Terry.
The way Sonix could’ve lost to Go in one hit and riddles kept living higher with in game 5.. I felt like I was gonna pass out watching it live
I like these commentators, both actually focused in their jobs.
Same! Great commentary
They were clueless lmao
Edit: but I will agree , they are good commentators, just not that knowledgeable in game, especially the girl.
@@cjwerner2747 yeah, true.
Nerf (Nerfcasts) was the guy. Pretty sure the girl was Lyric but I'm not positive.
24:40 the genuine concern of “oh my goodness they’re swinging 🫢” lmao

Terry is the FGC that by far has the best chance
Its not even, riddles is just a goat

Aw damn my richter lost, but good shit Sonix
I was watching the twitch stream riddles waited a long freakin time for this dude to arrive 🤦♂️

And who swept him after? Shuton 📣
@@janswhatsupdocYou are everywhere, seriously go outside & quit glazing the comments of a guy you don't even like, it's soo weird 😭😭
You know what? I'm happy Sonix didn't go to losers. He would have beaten all the fun players to watch on his way to 2nd place.
BRO GOT 3RD NO WAY
I would watch Sonix' plays any day over those other ''fun'' characters that are either DLC or true combo spam bots.
Aaaaaaa que coraje, quería que ganara riddles
Can someone tell me why Terry is unable to just grab ledge? I keep seeing Riddles get punished for airdodging to the stage or landing with some areal

This r2 pools is rediculous lmao.

Ah- that makes so much more sense @@wyvrix5421

Sonix mi padre💪
Kinda wish Riddles won’t this. Just one hit from Go and it was a wrap
Nadie aplaude, a nadie le fascina verlo ganar
Yall hatin on sonix ... Have yall ever played a good terry? The answer is no. You havent. You know nothing john snow
Sonic is better than terry

Did you watch the set? I don't think you watched the set.
just here to see results and complain about sonic and sonix :)
real
Sonix trying not to camp the shit out of a match challenge: impossible.
He already did it to Riddles on the Twitch stream
Sonix should be banned
Man I hate seeing sonix win. Bro makes watching smash so boring just camping and if you don’t push him he’ll just play for a timeout.
Sonix is one of the worst player he is so annoying and escaping I hate to watch it
Change the video if you dont want watch, te falla no??
Better than your favorite player
Question why are you watching then 🤨
Riddles lost
Look at me I like to spoil others because I am deeply unhappy with my life 😢
