Let's GO RIDDLES! You deserve this win!
Kazuya Mishima
@@ravssb hahahaha
Kazuya Mishima
1:52 Kazuya: "I realized he's broken"
2:06 "I never lost so much with Terry and won so much with Kazuya in my life. So, I was like, ok just play Kazuya."
2:23 Kazuya up air is broken: "it beats every single move in the game because its invincible, and its quick. Yeah, its broken."
RIP Terry. Will miss him. Sadge.
Also everyone knows how to SDI Terry at that level lol
I’m glad there’s finally recognition on that up air, it’s just crazy
The third timestamp should be 2:34
terry 😔😭😭😭
His Terry is still so super clean so it will definitely be missed if he never uses him again for competitive like his Richter and Ken
I've been rooting for Riddles for a while now, and it was both inspiring and heartbreaking to see him get so close at tourneys like CEO and GOML. Seeing him pop off at such a stacked tourney against some of his bracket demons, and seeing his reaction after finally winning, that shit was unreal. Unbelievably proud of the dude, his growth and improvement over the past year especially have been absolutely insane.
Damn, it’s so hard when you have literal adrenaline pumping through your system, and people still expect you to smile for the camera and talk coherently to people 😂 Fantastic job Riddles, you’ve really earned this victory!!
Good to get him interviewed when he's still amped though, you can see him still absorbing the win at the start and it also lets him cool off a bit.
What an incredible grand finals - major congrats Riddles - you deserve it - watching you was mind blowing
I love that he doesn’t downplay his character like SO many others with their top tiers. He knows his character is broken but nobody has done it better with Kazuya. Riddles labs and grinds this character and pushed his combo trees in all different directions and his meta in general. He makes the most out of every interaction and his neutral with this slow character is immaculate. Riddles is definitely Top 5 and he’s more than earned this win!
Riddles used to downplay kazuya and said he’s overrated
Kazuya is not broken.
@@voodooedits785 used to, he even said in this interview he realized how broken kazuya is. plus kazuya's neutral isn't great, but the punish obviously makes up for it
@@chickensarethebest772 Not broken you say? Riddles just admitted that Kazuya is broken in this interview. I'm sure he knows better if he's broken or not.
@@Meroknight oh mb didn’t know he said that
Congratulations! This tournament was very fun to watch! Really enjoyed the whole experience!
It was incredibly interesting to see that shift in Riddles from emotional pop offs to nothing at all. It's like suppressing it helped him stay completely focused and immune from tilting. Like the interviewer said, it's even a thing Leo does. Maybe that's the biggest secret to getting better.
Either way, good stuff Riddles. WELL DESERVED!
CONGRATS RIDDLE'S SO WELL DESERVED
KAZUYA UP AIR IS FRAME 4? THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
HE NEEDS IT COPIUM
But for real it's like his main anti air along with up tilt and up smash
Characters with disjoints can still hit his head
Or even link can with fast fall nair
@@ngcf4238 I mean, if you remove it he's basically just a walking electric with no airgame and no neutral and super sucky disadvantage.
I was there live for CEO22’ didn’t know all the ultimate players well but Riddles vs Sonix was so damn good, I’m happy you can get your first like Sonix did now. I do think Kazuya is a bit on the busted side of things but the effort you put in deserves the win by itself anyways.
Great interview! That "good shit" at the end was a nice touch!
He still have the tears that how you know he felt the win big congrats to him
It’s kinda funny considering how riddles has always downplayed kazuya but then he wins a major and finally realized how busted kazuya is.
LETS GOOOOOOOO RIDDLES!!!!
bros being interviewed by jackie peanuts
I hope he still uses Terry. I love that character!
Much well deserved, complain about kazuya all you guys want, riddles outplayed them and was absolutely on fire. Can't really think of anyone I would've rather seen win at this event
No more Kazuya johns lets GOOOOOO
we love to see it
he's so happy :D
LETS GOOOO RIDDLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol “good shit” at the end
Congratulations to Riddles! So happy to see you win your first major! You deserve it. Loved watching you play to win the whole thing.
Riddles really optimised the Kazuya v Fox matchup. People will be studying these sets for a while
Kinda dope you can see Riddles’s name in the bottom right corner of this banner. Even more dope that Riddles will get his own banner next to zackray
Let's go, my Richter!
this video is making my subwoofer freak out
The protagonist of Smash Ultimate finally wins
Much deserved! 👏 what a phenomenal performance by Riddles
i love riddles. him and light are my favorite
A New God Is Born
I always knew Kaz up air was busted and never understood why people didn't use it. He has alot of busted moves that people aren't using. Down jab at the ledge like Ryu and Ken to condition a aggressive option then shield and punish accordingly. Or use tombstone smasher to catch neutral get up.
"i dont even know whats going on to be honest"
Oh my god, finally! This dude is a shark in a sea of sharks. Finally get that Great White recognition.
YESSS RIDDLES
Kazuya Mishima and Riddles are extremely likeable!
riddles enjoyer
my GOAT did it :)
Light is the scariest player for sure.
Light and Mkleo
MY MAN LESGO
congrats . Finally a major win for Riddles . his first 1 ever right ? i would like it more if he won with Terry. o well maybe next time.
all that training with Terry help him sharp skills and inputs with fighting game characters. his Kazuya is very strong. Thanks Terry.
it also help that Kazuya is broken.
YES NOW LAD
I fight for my friends! 💪
Good shit!
Kazuya Mishima
As toxic as kuzuya is… its so great to see riddles bring it home!!!🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢
How is Kazuya toxic?
@@hoovybeast0594 he kills you at 0 and forced super lame gameplay. I don't mind watching kazuya but you gotta admit playing against him is unfun
@@greedo194 He forces a bait and punish kind of gameplay and it's pretty cool tbh. Yeah it's lame and as a Sephiroth main, he makes life hell for approaching too close and whiffing a laggy move. But you gotta admit, the neutral for Kazuya is very cool looking
@@greedo194 Each to their own i guess. Personally I find spamming back air and neutral air with no risk all game to be lame gameplay, but whatever. (not talking aboute Light)
You deserve it. Good shit Riddles. Their rulesets not yours
only a matter of time
RIDDLES FOR THE WIN!
rip riddles’ terry lol
but damn, dropping terry in exchange for exclusively using kazuya is a chad move, respect to riddles for having more belief in his kazuya
Ill miss terry though
Terrys one of my favorite video game characters of all time and seeing riddles drop him kinda makes me sad, its fine though cause kazuya is fire asl too
Why didn't Mkleo participate in this tournament? It's been a while since I see him in a tournament or did I just missed something?
I think he’s just trying to avoid burning out. Traveling in Smash 4 was rough, but now there are majors on sometimes back-to-back-to-back weekends.
He hasn't played in any major since Summit 5 cause he decided that he was going to be taking more breaks after Rise n' Grind. He was talking about how he'll try and limit himself to 1 or 2 majors a month. He's also already qualified for the Panda Cup and SWT so there isn't too much in the way of incentives.
He's going to be playing in Battle of Z : Forma de Leo saga this weekend and at the Ludwig Invitational next week.
He's going to Battle of Z: Forma de Leo saga in Canada, Ludwig's, LMMM, Panda Cup, SWT and 1 or 2 tournaments in Europe. That's at least 6 or 7 tournaments for the remaining of the year without counting locals, etc. Sometimes players get burned out after a while. Also, MkLeo has never gone to Big House. Ever. He joked about wanting to keep that streak on stream.
Thank you all guys for the info!
@@Diddykong8775 Leo said he wasn't going to LMMM when asked in his last stream a few weeks ago so he's probably dropping out of that unless something else convinces him to go there.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
L4st should have done this interview
Canada took both Melee and Ultimate!! Canada best region??
Man, riddles is so cool but not really 😂😂 what I mean is that I feel like cheering for him and wishing him the best 😎👌
if he was a stock i would invest
is it just me or is jackie just m2k with more hair
Team Liquid is too sick
*W man's*
Awesome! Time to lead the Liquid Zaibatsu and throw Hungrybox off a cliff.
やるやん
Riddles ain't wrong there. Compared to Terry, Kazuya is busted if you can master him like Riddles can. I definitely see Kazuya being a top 15 character easily
Kazuya and Steve are the best characters
LMAOOOO you really said top 15 ?? Kaz is top 2 at least
@@faith_9670 Hell no.
Top 15 is good I think. I think he's around Fox's level, but he'll probably last longer in the meta.
@@deadeyed2454 He kills you with one move, has superarmor or s on every move INCLUDING his movement, is heavy, and has a comeback mechanic every stock in rage drive that kills you at 40%. (And it's a command grab..)
ridL
Stay mad lmaooo
@@trymacs4511 They’re saying one of his twitch emotes, ridL, which is an image Kermit smiling holding a heart
Pop filter please panda
carried
He has top player wins with other characters
Cope
How all you mfs act when a character wins ONE major
My man was getting top3 with terry but nah he's carried by kazuya
Do you realise how many players we could say that about?
Anybody else getting tired of kazuya? He was so hype when riddles first started playing him but now it’s just sad to watch players get zero to deathed 😂
Fuck no
Hard to get sad watching a character that basically noone plays tbh.
Respect to Riddles, but not L4st. He is annoying on stage
Chill, the homie L4st is top tier
Yeah like I get not being super into his energetic stage personality, but L4st is a super smart and friendly dude, no reason to to be shitty.
@@Leap623 I disagree with both of you, overrated person. His advice to MKLeo was meaningless, and Riddles deserves better!
@@MotivatedStudent2000 What was his advice to Mkleo?
@@dripfoe_3307 don't go aegis. Which leo ignored
Step 1: use a braindead broken character
Step 2: wait for 80% of pros not to show up
Step 3: profit
Broken? Yeah
Not braindead
That's what I expect from Ultimate/Smash 4. Unrefined competitive games... good overall fun games though.
you talking about Steve and Mythra ?
The riddler
So glad a Steve didn't win. Even better that it's riddles.
letsgoooooooooooooooooo
LETS GO RIDDLES!!!!!!
