@@DaSoto21500 She's definitely on the same level as some of the more hated smash characters on the top like Wolf, Peach, Olimar and Pichu (her nair combos are some of the easiest things you can do on her besides zoning and she probably requires even less effort than the previously mentioned four), and unlike the previously mentioned four, she hasn't been nerfed yet. So she's going to be hated by some naturally. I'm just happy they were rooting for the Ridley. Poor boy was left to die by most of the players asking for him to be in the game, simply because he wasn't higher than mid tier, and he deserves so much more love.
Orophlacious To see a Ridley player in general was dope, but then to see him beat Palutena, who’s disgusting characteristics you just listed, man was that satisfying
Light's trying to distract us from a Ridley in Winner's by showing off his body, I see you, man. It almost worked too. But a pirate's life is the life for me
@@anachronisticlaserbeams4820 Snake is really solid in this game. He's not insane like in Brawl, but his camping tools and kill confirms are still something to fear.
Light made a good showing with Palutena, and I learned quite a bit watching Vreyvus play Ridley. In the final game, Light's nerves definitely got to him, you can see him shaking his head quite a bit in the player cam. Lots of missed punishes.
I think the only things he needs to improve on is his punish, mix ups, and explosive flame since it seems like he doesn't have a handle on controling the range... but other than that he's golden :)
I really enjoyed this set, it’s definitely one of my favorites. My boy Ridley getting shown off by a great player. These commentators are also very fun
This crowd is great. Noticed Vreyvus is rocking the pro controller. I've seen some newer dudes really show their stuff with them, there was a Captain Falcon player called Neo in Chicago who was brand new and got really far with one.
DeFactoLeader I honestly feel that the pro controller feels more comfortable than the GC controller. Buttons feel less clicky and more smooth if that makes sense. I own both controllers and I’m considering switching over to the Pro entirely as my results seem far better with it.
Yooo, totally agree. Love seeing all the newcomers using their own controllers! As much as I'll always swear by my favorite console's controller, i like seeing Nintendo make great ones again 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I mean, since shields are just 100% on now instead if variable to the pressure put on the button, the gamecube controller is now at more of a disadvantage cuz it takes more effort to push down the L and R, but I mean, it's still heavily preference based
It is also easier to do auto shorthop air moves on the pro controller. Mid angles are harder to remember (without the right way gate) but easier for me to hit.
That was some great Ridley play, especially seeing such a spammy Palutena get what's coming to her. The only thing I think Vreyvus needed to work on was not using his down smash at all. So many instances of Palutena's recovery could have been punished by how much the down smash covers.
Personally I think Light could have done better if he used a few counters. This is because when Ridley is using Up B to get onto the stage Palutena gets hit. But the spamming with Palutena is something I do myself because it gets people away. I myself prefer to stay back usually (kinda campy) but will usually rush with a dash attack or up smash if a explosive flame or the auto aim hits
@@unisexlettuce As a Ridley main myself, if someone starts throwing out a lot of counters against me it's super easy to be ready for it with space pirate rush which is a nice big punish.
@@unisexlettuce Im late but to make the counter work she’ll have to go off stage which is putting her in the perfect position to be edge guarded if she misses. Moreover, on most stages, Ridley could just Up B into the wall and use the bounce to snap to the ledge if the enemy keeps using Counter.
@ReflectedBoy7 what's wrong with people liking ridely more than pauletina? And why would you need to play kid icarus uprising? Kinda unnecessary to say that.
No disrespect towards the palutena player, he did very good. Palutena just isn’t very entertaining to watch. Matches usually consist of explosive flame, reticle, dash attack and bair until the gap is closed. Then it’s aerials and grabs until they can make more space then it’s right back to the projectiles. It’s just not very fun to watch
Honestly man, having to play Ridley against Palutena? I can't be mad at him for not giving knuckles as a Ridley player myself. Ridley against any projectile character is ass, Palutena especially
What country are you from? Never heard anyone saying knuckles but as a Palutena player I say that Ridley was really good but could have easily gotten a couple punishes.
For someone new to the online world of Smash. I am happy to see wireless controllers used competitively. That controller makes playing most of my titles more enjoyable.
Vreyvus was so sucsessful at valhalla because he knows when to just wait and do nothing for a few Frames length then punishes accordingly I see so many players constantly doing actions like certain melee players (leffen) that play ultimate try too fast and get punished more often.
But he did respect him, in one of the comments he said how he didnt notice because of all the commotion and fist bumped him later, dont make assumptions, that or you're another braindead gay that wants lights instagran or whatever. Sorry to be rude
Ladies, (and by ladies, I mean all of the gays that want his social media info) his IG username is viktorstroh. He doesn’t post very often and doesn’t seem to have very much of a social media presence, but hopefully that’ll change. Enjoy the shirtless pics. 😎
Can someone tell me where can I see more of light? does he have an instagram? youtube own account? Twitter? I was just blown by him showing arms so suddenly, I was not ready
Man people have gotten so much better at this game overall. I could clap both of these players based on how their playing, and yet I'm not at all a pro by today's standards.
@@selalovesmazoe there's no such thing as harsh when it comes to playing a low tier against a hight tier while also having nationality backing you up, you just accept it. Light was on Veryus home turf, what'd you expect?
Down air is too laggy and down smash is as well for this type of play. If he landed a skewer, he probably would of used it because it would be close to or completely safe.
Man, I don't know anything about the player so I'll reserve judgement, but Palutena as a character is so brainless and painful to fight, for me anyway. It's also not much to root for in competitive matches as you just see them throwing out projectiles constantly and then shit like 6:13 makes my blood boil (the amount of time it lasts just.. EUGH). Feels good to see Palutena get dunked though, so that's something.
Characters like palutina , ness/Lucas, Robin, and inkling make my head hurt with frustration, these characters won't stop spamming their projectiles, that's why I like playing against characters like fox, meta knight, wolf (to a degree), not only do they not rely on projectiles ( agree to disagree on wolf) it makes them look less like cowards and more like people who actually know how to play the game, sword users, bruisers and characters that are not afraid to get their hands dirty (like the reptile squad bowser, k.rool( agree to disagree ) and of course Ridley) get more respect for me than the aforementioned spammers.
ReflectedBoy7 I just like how she feels right now. I don't have Nintendo online right now and I live in the middle of nowhere so no tournaments, so I haven't played against many people. For right now, just go watch more sets against varied characters and see if you can pick up on anything
Vreyvus totally missed / ignored Light’s handshake proposal (24:08) heck i’m so sad rn he fought so well and nobody came to cheer him up. nobody deserved the 14:03 snacc
This question is very old but I’m looking through vods so I figured I’d answer. If Ridley’s Side B connects to an opponent close enough to the ledge, he’ll ignore the ledge and drag them straight down in front of it, falling instead of actually dragging. It is EXTREMELY dangerous to stand at ledge in front of Ridley when he’s off stage because he can get a lot of cheap kills this way.
If Ridley becomes a popular competitive character would that make him Meta Ridley?
I will hate you forever for this joke.
And love you.
Well, there was a certain dude in Brawl called ”Meta Knight”
Veralos best joke today
Meta Knight has the best Meta game
Get it? Cause it's funny? Cause it definitely deserves 162 likes?
