I think Kazuya's jump squat design is actually brilliant. His Aerials are allowed to be strong and fast, but because his jump squat is 7 frames, his out of shield options out of a jump are automatically nerfed. So he can use those Aerials offensively, but not defensively. If you ask me, this is how variable jump squat should have always been used. Not "we gave them slower jump squat just because" like they did with old versions of Ganon and Bowser.
I think making the jump squat universally 3 frames was one of the best changes in smash history. Made so many ultimate characters feel soooooo much better than previous versions
@@Frilleon Oh, absolutely. But that goes back into what I was saying about Ganon and Bowser. They had poor jump squats in ADDITION to slow air speed, slow Aerials, high landing lag, etc... They basically had stacked weaknesses without the necessary strength to justify it. It was just kinda like "this character is slow so everything has to be slow." The only reason why I like Kazuya's jump squat is because it serves an actual purpose of balancing a character by nerfing their defense. Cause Kazuya's Aerials themselves hit hard, fast, and are safe on block. They just can't be used to punish shield pressure very well.
Lmao funniest shit was when leffen complained on Twitter when he lost to MKLeo’s Ike at the first Ultimate Genesis when playing PT cuz Ike was so much higher in the tier list
Leffen doesn't know shit about Ultimate tier in general. His are based on what other people think and my bet is that leffen was asking around which charscter was viable at the beggining and they told him P.T
I'm not saying leffen shouldn't be clowned on but you gotta know that tier lists evolve. Ike was extremely good when the game came out cuz he was easy. Month one tier lists are only good for month one and all that
Leffen thrives off fake drama anyway like salem and hax arent even bad people leffen just enjoys pressing peoples buttons and he's such a whiner; he even complained one time his twitch streaming job is harder to do than a fast food job and he'd love to see people switch trades with him. What a joke of a a man lol 😂
I found out on my own when in frame by frame mode, you can do the ‘A’ input for electric wind God-fist on the downward input and are not forced to do it on the diagonal input. This makes it a bit easier to do because if you miss it while doing it on the down input, it may have gone through on the diagonal input. This has made it much easier for me to do literally.
Woah he actually tried tekken just to learn kazuya before! That’s a smart idea I hope he will master him in smash so i can finally see one player actually playing kazuya like he should be played (:
Really liked riddles opinions on Kazuya. What he was saying is a lot of what I felt about the character, his difficulties, and just matchups against mashers and etc
I feel like he's right about Master Chief being the last character. It would coincide well with Infinite's release later this year. I think Sora could be the secret last character.
I'm really glad you made this video. I haven't even downloaded the new character yet I've kind of been obsessed with Apex Legends lately but honestly when he came out the first thing I thought of is I want to see what Riddles does with this character. Great video.
I was waiting for riddles feedback on kazuya cuz he is like the best players with Ken and Terry and assuming kazuya would suit him, I been practicing with kazuya in training mode getting better with the inputs
Honestly after seeing what they brought with Terry from Fatal Fury(if they brought Max Meter from KoF, shit wouldve been broken) and Kazuya from Tekken, i would like if they revamp Ryu and Ken with a Super Meter to include EX moves to their specials whether the Street Fighter 3 version or 4
18:20 Ike players definitely don't have to spam nair. You can get some nice mixups with empty landings and stuff like that because everyone thinks you're gonna spam nair all the time.
Because there’s other characters with absurd “fighting” styles but they’re still pretty obviously in the smash framework but Tekken is a distinct fighting game that they obviously wanted to represent in more than a shallow way
3 ปีที่แล้ว +3
I can do electrics in tekken but not as consistent in smash since i use keyboard for tekken and gamecube controller for smash.
Dang Larry's cut lookin fresh! Oh yeah and great interview too 😂. Also that point Riddles brought up about transferring Tekken knowledge to Smash is so true. I don't even play Tekken, but I watch it a lot and it's helped me understand neutral and a strong punish game more than Smash vods have
Everybody saying Master Chief. But everyone is forgetting that a characters popularity in Japan counts for AT LEAST half of the votes. The only exception to this was Banjo and they wouldn't do it again for the last ultimate dlc
I get what he means by certain characters feeling exhausting from playing daisy. I thought when I first started learning such a technical character I would enjoy that aspect but not really.
The big thing that will make kazuya not good at tournaments is circle camping and laming him out cause his second jump doesn’t get him up high fast compared to the rest of the cast My opinion
@@hwanniggles187 indeed, but my bet is on Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden. It's an old school, legendary, and still relevant IP, and Koei Temco is in great relationships with Nintendo. I'm still surprised he has not been included yet
@@EarthUPC to be honest, if he's not the last dlc, I'll be deeply disappointed. I can understand why everyone else cannot be included, but ninja Gaiden? He has to be there
Already Riddles won me as a fan never seen Smash Tournaments but I know who to see now and maybe I’ll see more smash competition ( Yes I’m a Tekken player)
OK hear me out: why I don't think Master Chief will be a playable character but could be a Mii costume. 1. Moveset--Master Chief uses 2 primary weapons, switches out weapons, then has a BUNCH of vehicles. Both vehicles and switching weapons seem chaotic for 8 player smashes. Plus, all of his aerials would either combine with his weapon (like mii gunner) or would be made up (like c. Falcon). 2. Spirits and mii costumes--there aren't many interesting characters to make spirits out of or for a franchise character mii costume (banjo was the only dlc with no mii costume related to his franchise upon release). They could basically use Arbiter, flood, jackals, then several people who wore spartan suits. Pretty limiting. 3. ESRB--A mii gunner spartan suit skin holding a plasma pistol works best. It makes the charge shot look natural and avoids rating issues holding a BR or other realistic gun. Granted, Halo has great music and stages to choose from, but the Kazuya presentation brought home how much time and effort they put into remaining faithful to the source franchise. Halo is an FPS, which Smash is not. They can recognize Halo's place in gaming history as a mii gunner skin, maybe with a song thrown in.
Kinda disagree here smash takes libraries with move set design for many characters. Canonically mew-two should be a heavy and rest should not be a kill move. More than likely they would make his move set use multiple weapons in creative ways for aerials like shooting down with an rpg for a down air. There are plenty of possible spirit possibility’s. Using just enemies you have prometheans, covenant, flood, Spartans, and normal humans. Each with various enemy types. There are also various allies including ai and humans such as Johnson. When it comes to the eating joker uses an actual gun and sakurai could make a move set using just promethean and covenant guns. Smash is not an rpg, real life toy like rob, or survival game like Minecraft. A unique genre such as a shooter actually helps chiefs chance since it’s a genre long unrepresented in smash.
I have played a decent amount of tekken but I never used kazuya a lot but his inputs and dashing make it feel like I'm playing tekken in smash, Kazuya is slow but packs power I main the fighting game characters in smash Ryu and Ken are hard to use and Terry out of everyone is super EZ to use #FightingGames
The way they think about the Ariel game with Kaz makes me want 🤮🤮 If you are a TRUE, TWO TOUCH kill, character with the best Ariel punishes in the game, your game plan should be making sure jump is the first option your opponent will die for if they try to use it. Kaz is probably the only character that could do this as well.
@@mathunit1 there's a difference between last smash game and a very definitive statement during a company broadcast that there will be no other dlc character after the next one.
Grrr he hasn't uploaded any kazuya yet he was the first person I thought of as soon as I saw the trailer I saw him play a little bit in the streams against MK Leo with Mewtwo King and I think a little bit against Nairo. But I want to see him like labbing and doing some crazy combos and just fighting other people to maybe some first to tens
Kazuya's neutral sucks, side b has too much lag, recovery is garbage. He will get zoned and gimped endlessly. Electrics are cool, but you will spend 3 mins dodging projectiles just to get a chance to land an electric, and then you might not even kill them. I love Kazuya, but I don't think his tools work in this game.
Larry is such a good interviewer, honestly the goat of smash content for me right now
he's in need of a better mic. though .
The GOAT for me, right now"
Facts! Glad you said this bro I really enjoy his interviews and character breakdowns
Fun Fact Larry Lurr was there when Riddles Popped Off on Dabuz in SSC 2019.
Bruuuh I’ve never seen Larry without a fro lol. So weird seeing him with a fresh cut but the fade clean tho lol
Larry without the mustache is giving way too strong younger uncle vibes

@@HenryZhoupokemon my point is, clown on leffen for complaining, not what he's complaining about. Most of the time anyway lol
Larry: So Riddles your popoffs what's up with that
missed opportunity lmao
Riddles: Let’s fucking gooooo!!!1!!1!!!
Dabuz: 👀
Lmao wish he asked him
6:11 The Mindset of a Tekken Mishima Player Summed Up
Riddles movement is insane with Terry and it's even better with Kazuya. Amazing player
Forget the interview, Larry’s trim is 🔥🔥🔥
Preposterous be on it
Now interview the LVL9 CPU Kazuya, the true expert.
You'll just hear a game cube or a fight stick doing the EWGF and Korean Backdash Inputs.
His combos and kill potential are some of the most lethal in ultimate which is enough to keep him competitive at top level
I still have a hard time using Kazuya in Tekken even though I’ve been playing with him since T2, but playing Kazuya in Smash is such a great time!
3:38 Riddles admitted he's a masher 😂
lmao can't blame him. Smash Ult can be a mashy game
Thats like, every character 😂😭🤣
No shame in admitting you mash sometimes
Bro Ludacris is such a good interview. I'm glad Larry could host these guys!
I found out on my own when in frame by frame mode, you can do the ‘A’ input for electric wind God-fist on the downward input and are not forced to do it on the diagonal input. This makes it a bit easier to do because if you miss it while doing it on the down input, it may have gone through on the diagonal input. This has made it much easier for me to do literally.
I would prefer to have the last icon from the Golden NES era than Master Chief, Ryu Hayabusa.
Woah he actually tried tekken just to learn kazuya before!
That’s a smart idea
I hope he will master him in smash so i can finally see one player actually playing kazuya like he should be played (:
Riddle's famous last words: "No Sora"
I like how I’m just watching the gameplay in the back and not even listening to the interview
17:07 Larry doesn't know how many Castlevania games use command inputs
Really liked riddles opinions on Kazuya. What he was saying is a lot of what I felt about the character, his difficulties, and just matchups against mashers and etc
I feel like he's right about Master Chief being the last character. It would coincide well with Infinite's release later this year.
I think Sora could be the secret last character.
Nah
Master Chief would be cool, but I’m wondering if Steve’s inclusion deconfirms that
Nintendo will never do an American made character as last dlc lol. They fine with Dark Samus being the only American made character
@@colt4531 Diddy Kong is also an American made character

Great video! I'm impressed by the quality of the questions.
I love these interview style videos with smash players a lot. Keep it up Larry
Holy shit...Lurry got that hurr cut!!!??? I almost didn't recognize my man.
I'm really glad you made this video. I haven't even downloaded the new character yet I've kind of been obsessed with Apex Legends lately but honestly when he came out the first thing I thought of is I want to see what Riddles does with this character. Great video.

Just was looking for some riddles.
Nice interview I'm sure.
I was waiting for riddles feedback on kazuya cuz he is like the best players with Ken and Terry and assuming kazuya would suit him, I been practicing with kazuya in training mode getting better with the inputs
riddles: there isn't a capcom rept.
ryu, ken, and megaman are mad.
The biggest capcom characters of all time
"there isnt a capcom rep. in the fighters pass"
he didnt lie XD
@@cerdi_99 closest we got was the Sir Arthur and Dante miis
I think he meant in the DLC lineup
Honestly after seeing what they brought with Terry from Fatal Fury(if they brought Max Meter from KoF, shit wouldve been broken) and Kazuya from Tekken, i would like if they revamp Ryu and Ken with a Super Meter to include EX moves to their specials whether the Street Fighter 3 version or 4

Yea that’s why he dropped him
Halo infinite comes out December 2021, Sakurai said last character comes out by the end of the year. Perfect timing
Larry lurr gotta do press conference interviews for big tourneys keep the grind dude very informative interview
Riddles! I love hearing about your ambition to compete, I'll be watching you! I hope you become #1 one day.
Riddles and Larry play some sets! I can't remember when you guys last played.
Falco agenda would be seen more. We have to have it on stand by
You're a great interviewer man keep it up!
Lol the picture of Riddles in the thumbnail feels like the only one in existence
I love these interviews videos
larry with the fresh cut sheesh okay mah boi!
Saying Kazuya is the most non-smash character in a smash game with STEVE is saying something
Because there’s other characters with absurd “fighting” styles but they’re still pretty obviously in the smash framework but Tekken is a distinct fighting game that they obviously wanted to represent in more than a shallow way
I can do electrics in tekken but not as consistent in smash since i use keyboard for tekken and gamecube controller for smash.
with that Haircut he kinda reminds me of Mbappe
Side note: YALL SEE LARRY WITH THE FRESH CUT
It's preposterous
Lol rip Riddles. Sora got in.
Dang Larry's cut lookin fresh! Oh yeah and great interview too 😂. Also that point Riddles brought up about transferring Tekken knowledge to Smash is so true. I don't even play Tekken, but I watch it a lot and it's helped me understand neutral and a strong punish game more than Smash vods have

Everybody saying Master Chief. But everyone is forgetting that a characters popularity in Japan counts for AT LEAST half of the votes. The only exception to this was Banjo and they wouldn't do it again for the last ultimate dlc
Very cool interview, i enjoyed it alot :)
dude i relate with the "i only get exhausted with kazyua"
Feels just like Tekken lmao
I get what he means by certain characters feeling exhausting from playing daisy. I thought when I first started learning such a technical character I would enjoy that aspect but not really.
larry look like a young jay-z wit the fresh cut
If Kaz isn't already broken (and I do think he is), Riddles will for sure break him.
That special command grave when he gets rage is just serious DLC's bs. Kazuya would still be amazing without it... kinda like Hero's random Criticals
He isn't
The big thing that will make kazuya not good at tournaments is circle camping and laming him out cause his second jump doesn’t get him up high fast compared to the rest of the cast My opinion
I liked Ryu when he didn't automatically face his opponent like in smash 4. There should be a toggle for that to be on and off.
Larry with the fresh cut okayyyyy 👌👌👌👌👌
Larry with the icy fresh cut. Lookin nice bro
I’m saying it’s Vergil next, if not he’s def gonna be a Mii costume
Larry's cut made me sheeeesh
Damn, can't believe Riddles snubbed my boy Crash.
I’m still hoping for Jill or Leon from the RE universe 🤞🏼
That would be great, maybe we could have Jill, Chris, Claire and Leon as different skins, like with Hero
@@peppy619 thatd be sick honestly. Capcom need a new rep and with Dante out of the picture, Resident Evil is the next choice for a Capcom rep
