What a set. Incredible resilience from Riddles. Facing two of his bracket demons back to back and winning against them for the first time is no easy feat. What a showing.
Riddles beating Light with a bait up B on a last stock situation at Winner Semis , pops off big time Riddles beats Onin on a reverse 3-0 , stoic reaction and getting ready for Grand Finals
@@ryubayani1729 he probably hates steve mains, and to be fair it is kinda justified but ngl onin put in work to be an amazing player but im sure if onin spent the same time on another character other than steve he wouldnt have these huge results
@@BryGuyJohn Huh I would agree and disagree. Onin has fundamentals and have a strong mind. Winning Smash Con and GOML is not easy feat. We could have an analogy with Myran , he started very strong on Ultimate with Olimar but then after the nerfs and people gettin overall better , Myran pretty much drop off and have recently appear on the last genesis. The same is happening to Onin where after Smash Con , he got 7th and now 3rd at the Big House.
I love watching Riddles play. Always loved Fatal Fury and Tekken. Seeing Riddles take these characters to the next level in Smash never ceases to amaze me.
riddles 100% just moved around the blocks better in the reverse 3-0. Really awesome adaption. I think him and light are two players who have adapted to steve more than anyone else.
This was so pleasing to watch, riddles being my favorite player other than light, it was so good watching him win against onin, he literally deserved it especially from the other set they played.
Shows exactly how critical timing mix-ups are in beating Steve. You have to be on the offense because of the mining, but you can't just jump in and hit his Shield like Riddles did in the first games. In the later games, Riddles punched the blocks, then waited just a bit to force Onin to pick his option
So satisfying seeing how much harder Riddle's has to work than onin and still seeing riddles win. Steve will just spam tilts into 50% and people will still say kazuya is easy, lmao
Doesn’t matter how Much of a lead Onin gets. A few touches from Kazuya completely deletes it. What is funny is onin obviously knew what to do for the Mu. Camp kazuya and don’t let him hit you. Easier said then done.
I am still searching for this "terrible disadvantage" that Kazuya allegedly has. Wolf has worse disadvantage than Kazuya from what I have seen at the highest level. Did you see how easily Riddles recovered against both Light and Onin, who are very skill edge guarders? I knew this dude was broken on release but he will only ascend, they will find more Kaz tech and he will be unbeatable, this is just a taste.
@@alanarriaga6204 Kazuya actually requires some execution. Steve doesn't, and even when he messes up its rare he gets punished since so much of his shit is safe. Let's not forget the borderline free disadvantage escapes with side b either.
@@vick7868 man please, both characters are extraordinarily hard to play at this level, in fact any character is. Onin is an amazing player and ur just being a hater for no reason
I know characters lose matchups but Luigi, Steve and Kazuya are maybe the only characters where matchups really dont matter because once they get an opening they can really mess you up and quickly even it up, no matter the matchup. Its scary
I would personally exclude luigi. His recovery is worse than the other two and his base stats are atrocious (2nd slowest air speed, only dedede is slower). Yes he has zero to deaths, but he has more bad matchups and lacks dlc mechanisms (kazuya superarmor and intangible moves, steve making the stage to be big pp)
@@Yokai_Yuri steve and kazuya are both broken, steve is still top 1 and riddles just played better especially at the end, im an onin fan too but riddles is not carried at all lol
Anyone that supports Riddles but calls Onin carried is just an idiot. Anyone without salt blinding their vision can see these are both insanely good players who just happen to be abusing broken characters to the fullest.
Spoilers for the tournament: I’m so happy Riddles won the tournament! He’s gotten so close countless times and now he finally got the dub! While I wanted the win to be with his solo terry, I’m still stoked regardless. LETS GOOOO 😆🎉🎉🎉🎉
Bruh I’m really hoping this is your reaction to him making grands because if not I’ll be real pissed that I got spoiled the last match in the comment section of winners finals
I know many people hate Kazuya and Steve but you have to admit these two players are CARRYING the character ! It look WAY easier than it is to play like that at TOP level
@Santiago Andres Moreno Sanchez Nice sidestep. Hating on someone just because they play a character you dislike is a pathetic reason to hate someone. You don't know any of these players irl. Hate the game, not the players.
I'm super happy for riddles because I like him but damn I'm just not happy with what this meta is right now. At this point I'm hoping for a new smash game with a much smaller character roster.
At this point you hardly see 30-40% of the roster, if not more. For a game with such diversity, it hurts to see that there's a large chunk of characters that can barely survive the ever-changing meta (which isn't necessarily a gripe because this happens in most fighting games but then again most fighting games dont have 90 characters). I really wonder how Ultimate will pan out in the next few years and if it can sustain its popularity like melee has (which has almost 4x less characters by comparison and has been out for 21 years).
Riddles showing Onin how carried he is. Only a matter of time before Steve gets figured out entirely and Onin goes back to being a no-name Luigi main, again.
Rich... especially considering his opponent is playing as a character who legitimately equates to "win 1-2 neutrals to take a stock" when played optimally. Some real big talk right there 🤡
@@343Films Kazuya is busted but he at least had tangible weaknesses, Steve can lose neutral 8 times in a row and then throw out yolo Minecarts, anvils, or f smashes and win the stock.
I wish there were a heavy character, with unreactable 0 to death combo strings, an amazing recovery, a comeback mechanic, a range tool, good drift, good out of Shield options, command grab that can kill at 0. Oh wait….Kazuya
I love that winners’ finals is 2 fp2 characters, love it nothing against the players, but honestly, for me personally these types of sets are just sleepfests
I love how Riddles literally took off the suit, the weighted clothing, then went on a killstreak.
Costume counter pick is alive and well.
@@KyleRicciardi Always has been
Kazuya in a suit is a businessman, Kazuya shirtless is an animal
I prefer suitless kazuya mishima
Brooooooo
What a set. Incredible resilience from Riddles. Facing two of his bracket demons back to back and winning against them for the first time is no easy feat. What a showing.
Riddles‘ tactics of studying Steve by playing him definitely worked out
Riddles beating Light with a bait up B on a last stock situation at Winner Semis , pops off big time
Riddles beats Onin on a reverse 3-0 , stoic reaction and getting ready for Grand Finals
That’s because the top players know Onin isn’t actually that good. He’s carried. Figure out the character and it’s pretty much over after that.
@@BryGuyJohn i mean you're not wrong but it sounds disrespectful for Onin thought.

I love watching Riddles play. Always loved Fatal Fury and Tekken. Seeing Riddles take these characters to the next level in Smash never ceases to amaze me.
Riddles ice cold killer chair turn after the win. Great work

Goes down 0-2 and just says “Yeah, I’m not losing to this character anymore.” *steamrolls*
Riddles' Kazuya is godlike.
Riddles went beast mode 💪
My boy expended all his pop off energy after winners semis hahaha
This was so pleasing to watch, riddles being my favorite player other than light, it was so good watching him win against onin, he literally deserved it especially from the other set they played.
beyond happy for this guy Riddles, this set was nuts

0:00 the start of the vibe
0:16 another one joins in

That was satisfying to watch riddles is so good bro
Riddles 15:57 no pop off looking like "this game sucks, i hate it here"
Playing against a camp zoning character with meele heavy does that to you lol
They both played so good

Need help finding this video where a CEO/President of a company plays smash bros in his office. I remember he has a crazy fish tank
Love the 4Wilf tag. Wilf is a god level west MI Villager
Riddles' non-pop off was fucking cold lmfao
Riddles is the only Kazuya that doesn't miss inputs or drop combos and it's so satisfying to watch
love the fact that riddles took off kazuya's suit in round 3 like saying "well... it's my turn to play"
Doesn’t matter how Much of a lead Onin gets. A few touches from Kazuya completely deletes it. What is funny is onin obviously knew what to do for the Mu. Camp kazuya and don’t let him hit you. Easier said then done.

riddles is playing insane
If you play FP2 character, you're not allowed to complain about other FP2 characters. DLC was a mistake.
