Practicing for smash is kinda hell, online is ass, if you dont go to locals constantly you are not going to get better and the chances of players in your region playing all the roster is mostly unlikely. So getting used or learning match ups is a dream of sorts.
7:10 As an ex Hero main. I xan confidently say that we do it mainly because Hero's aerials are decently laggy with the exception of nair and up air. So, in hopes that we don't get punished, we choose the fastest or safest options to hopefully not get punished. And spot dodges and rolls are too tempting to pass up. Now, a good Hero will replace this habit with either a dash back, d-tilt, or jab. Idk why they roll towards center stage, though. I mean, Hero is pretty heavy. I believe he's the 29th most heaviest character in the game? So he doesnt exactly die early unless he's gimped. There's my 2 cents
Yeah but hero does get gimped or at least loses a lot of MP if he doesn't pull zoom. I used to do it a lot too among other habits, because being hero in disadvantage is pretty scary.
Love both Smash and Street Fighter content, your Terry tournament runs got me into Street Fighter. I think I definitely enjoy playing Street Fighter more.
6:20 THANK YOU! I see so many people like "hurrr durrr kazuya so OP!" and put him in the same category as brain dead top tiers that even little timmy on elite smash can play well with like Pythra, Joker, Steve, etc. Kazuya disadvantage is basically guaranteed because he has no real neutral game and most of the combo routes are so linear because of his 7 frame jump squat and overall slow ground / air speed so its either you get the combo that they know you are fishing for or you don't. Matchups are extremely volatile and he just feels inconsistent both for the player and the opponent.
@@josephyoon3965 I think Rob would be a better fit then. What I mean is that most of the other top tiers, are top tier because they can make mistakes in neutral and not get punished, you know exactly what they are fishing for and you will still get hit by it anyway because their character is just that good. You can't button mash with Kazuya and expect to win unlike with Pythra, Rob, steve, etc
It is really fun when you run into one of those lame campy snakes that just spams grenades and you do exactly that, just use laser with kazuya, and then you condition them to laser and then use the reflector on one of their grenades and kill them at like 70% because they were NOT ready.
I understand the frustration with Kazuya. As I Roy main I used to be terrified of the matchup, but once I learned to focus on spacing and playing slow I feel like Kazuya isn't so hard to deal with anymore
No need to downgrade yourself like that brother. Your not a riddles like talented player find your own style or keep practicing to master this character I believe your potential is yet to be realized give it some time brother
7:35 Bro..... this type of player on wifi is the WORST. I would legit rather play a camper then the people that just dash back into imagination / smash attacks. It's so toxic and stupid like their idea of ledge trapping is baiting you to over extend except they don't actually do anything except dash back over and over and over until they have given you full stage control from a neutral getup at ledge and its like..... WTF are we doing here????
Kazuya has broken mechanics but at the same time his disadvantage state is really bad and when you have characters like pyra mthya who can just constantly pressure you it's tuff.
Yeah man kazuya can’t do it solo, you have to play at 100% and make pretty much no mistakes in the meta. Thats a top tier? Nahhh, these real top tiers like aegis nd shit can make mistake after mistake and get away with it simply because of character choice. People need to wake up. Kazuya is a cheeser character that’s maybe high tier at best.
Yeah, over the years people have gotten pretty dang good at not letting Kazuya get his hands on them, or if he does get a strike in it's only a poke or laser and not a zero-to-death strings combo.... whilst he has to navigate being zoned to even get in that striking range.
@@dogyX3 clown deleted his comment before I could even reply 🤡 no way the dude implied aegis requires perfect no mistake play. Mythra is literally win neutral the character
@@drinkkvas All I said was Aegis cannot make no mistakes in neutral. Shitty as fuck recovery and gimpable as shit. I'm getting so sick of people pretending like Aegis requires no skill to play. Sure the neutral with Mythra is guaranteed but she doesn't have kill confirms. Pyra does of course but her frame data is so bad everything she does is unsafe on shield. And she has no kill throws or Shieldbreakers. So all she can do is hope the opponent makes a mistake. Why do you think so many top players dropped Aegis? Why do you think Cosmos stopped talking about Aegis? Because people refuse to believe the truth about them. But why would anyone care to talk about it? Everyone just rather bitches and moans about them than actually partake in a normal discussion about them. That's why I deleted my comment, because I knew there was no point in even trying to bring it up. Look at the toxicity that immidiately happens when someone tries to rationally talk about the balance of this character...
6:18 I think kayuza is still stacked his so called bad match up are when you gets camped out well guess what kayuza has lazer that goes across screen. He’s still top 2 if you ask me. Just play for time outs. Unless it’s Steve who can throw up a wall you’re pretty much fine. That early snake battle is basically who you win in modern day smash time outs . Or oppent makes a approaching mistake
laser camping is not good in a lot of matchups. most characters are fast enough to punish kaz laser unless you're on opposite sides of the stage. if you learn his threat range and don't approach predictably, he crumbles. every character's punish game is getting better and kaz's weak disadvantage is becoming more of an issue in the meta. hes not even top 10, let alone top 2
@ that’s the point opposite side of the stage they have to approach you and if they are in medium range run away until they are in that close range sweet spot.
@@sandycrash8868 kazy is not top 2 dude... i could MAYBE buy top 3 but sonic and steve are just to good. i personally think kazuya is top 15 maybe... but steve and sonic are too good for you to say hes top 2

Kazuya struggles so much in this meta cuz it evolved into a bait and punish/no interaction meta, which is totally against kazuyas playstyle.

Even if kazuya has quote on quote results the top 5 meta characters are probably his worst matchups on paper (Steve, G&W, Snake and Sonic), while he can keep up due to the fact he does have the best punish game if done optimally, in practice he's probably the hardest character to play on a tournament. I know it sounds super dumb but he is truly hard to play, most of the bad rep kazuya gets is because he's dumb at mid level play and online, but at top level any top player can beat you up with low and bottom tiers, i have high hopes though i dont think Kazuya is gonna get worse like Riddles says but at the moment the counter play against kazuya is growing and getting more well known than the rate of development the character currently has.

Pretty much. Our juggling game is nuts, and Kazuya kinda dies in disadvantage.
