I give Riddles respect as a player as I can tell he knows the game. As for being a Yakuza, to me he's not as broken as MK was in brawl or Bayo was in Sm4sh but he's still the most broken character to me in this game. Not Joker, Aegis,Pikachu,Steve, etc but Yakuza definitely is. I saw this happening within a week of him being out. The only thing he lacks is speed. He can 0 to death anyone and outside of knowing the right inputs and memorizing them, you don't need any more skill besides waiting to punish your opponent when they make a mistake. All it takes for a 3 stock game is punish as low as 3 mistakes to as high as 6.
@@woooffbetweenFlairandJlethal fr, like his disadvantage isn’t great but riddles said he has the worst disadvantage in the game… capping so hard when little mac, dedede, ganon exist, not to mention other contenders
I remember watching his lack of a reaction and just thinking this was it. He was laser-focused on his main goal of taking the tournament. Mentality is 100% key in these big tournaments, and then muscle memory for combos and all the grinding beforehand for matchups handle the formalities. If he can tap into that on command he's gonna be #1 for sure
@@darkpyro786 he said that to you because at the end you said that riddles is going to be #1 soon and this guy believes that leo or sparg0 will stay #1 forever
@@eedan1026 bro riddles won 1 tourney and you think he’s gonna be number 1 based on this alone? Not saying his potential is done for, but cmon mkleo and (arguably) sparg0 are legit are at a different level for the time being (and this is not even including Japan’s best like Acola and USA’s best like light). Still hope riddles can rise and not let big house be his only major.
I never noticed HBox tearing up, too, what a homie, I have seen him want Riddles to win for so long, and it’s not even as a teammate, he was truly proud of Riddles, and you love to see it
Godspeed Riddles. You've come such a long way. So happy to see you take the crown. I'm glad I saw you in person when you visited BC, should come more often from one Canadian to another :)
Hell yeah man. I dunno what it was but when Kazuya was first released there was something.... electric about the way you play him that nobody else had. Something about the movement or the ferocity in your playstyle that Tea's Kazuya or, actually, anyone else's Kazuya doesn't seem to embody even now. It's probably got something to do with you already excelling with FGC and their movements but watching your Terry doesn't feel quite the same. It's almost as if your Kazuya is able to command everyone's attention. There's definitely something special going on here and I can't quite put my finger on it. Congratz on the Big House bro! I look forward to seeing whatever you crank out next :)
Such a beautiful emotional moment at the end especially knowing how hard this kid has put in work and seeing the potential that he has ,been picked up by one of the best orgs as well, so well deserved
Watching this entire tournament was crazy. Watching him fall behind then analyze and come back on many situations was crazy. Every fight riddles would start kinda slow then just run his computer brain and completely re-adjust his approach. Was a well oiled machine zoned in. Was nutty
Getting over the hump is one thing, but being hungry for more in ten times more. Congrats on your first major win and now it's time for more major wins
Great job man, totally deserved. I knew it was going to happen at some point. We felt and saw your hard work over the last months. One of the rising stars of the scene. Team Liquid certainly thought the same.
Been waiting for you to win a major Riddles, was only a matter of time. You did not crazy hail mary smash attacks like u usually do and keep your composure the entire time. That’s how you won it!
You deserved that victory. I wish you played Terry for it, but that's okay. Kazuya is cool too and if a character is resonating better you should definitely keep playing. I just love your Terry gameplay. I hope you win more and more tournaments!!!!
ima be honest, i cry every time i watch your reaction to winning, i mean you deserve all of what has happened, i knew it was gonna happen, LOVE YOU RIDDLES❤❤❤
You are awesome man and that was awesome to watch. You can't band this character because you did lose games that was so awesome to comeback and beat steve and you beat lite who is from like Massachusetts like me I don't know lol
Man I recall seeing a salty Riddles hater in twitch chat during his first set with Light saying that said Riddles doesn't have what it takes, and was never spotted again after Riddles won that set.
HOLY GEEZ. So happy for your success. You are now truly one of the best. The genuine tears were heartwarming, and your place in Smash history has officially been solidified! God bless. Jesus is Lord!
"This matchup is hard because you can't zero to death diddy" is such a kazuya thing to say
I mean he definitely doesn't beat diddy in neutral either lol

24:26 HBox is such a real one man, I absolutely love this moment it's so wholesome to see. Congrats again on your major win Riddles.
The hug at the end with your teamates is honestly now one of my favourite smash moments
Imagine hugging hungry box one of the most esteemed smash players ever after you win a major
24:30 not gonna lie that was so wholesome almost like the passing of the torch when Hbox hugged riddles gotta love it!

Riddles thank you for documenting your smash journey for us, it’s been such a pleasure to watch ❤

That reaction was so much better than any pop off could have been. Congrats, well deserved.
Congrats Riddles! Been a huge fan of yours for a while and it was amazing to see all your work accumulate to this pay off. Keep up the momentum bro!!

20:07 people just remember down b exists whenever kazuya's rage is up
Where you said your pretty sure fox could live kazuya command grab I was like naaaaaah bro fox is lightweight AF
Let's keep pushing Riddles... Kazuya is getting scarier every day in the meta :O
Your reaction was so touching man. I'm such a riddles fan!! Keep it up man! Can't wait to see what you win next!!!
godly transition for the outro
This comes to show how much having a good mentality helps you not only keep composure but also win more.
i remember when he had like 6k subs and he was maining terry, i always knew he was gonna win something big ( literally won a Big House)
The most well deserved major win I've seen in a while.
0:05
レイジ状態の横スマのダメージやばw
3:19 lol I like how Dabuz video said that was a miss imput
His first major win HAD to be at Big House. The house needed to be that big to fit all the hype
Crazy to see your progression
11:52 SO TRUE more people need to realize it's not all Light
Carried..
Congrats on your first super major my guy. Your Kazuya was on fire 🔥
Congrats bro, you are insane! Make me wanna play Kazuya everytime.
Tweek is such a talented player. Ggs to him. But Riddles finally did it. Let’s goooo!
I swear once tweek overcomes his demon in light he will win a major
So happy to see you win Big House! Very well deserved.
I was watching a VOD of your victory while playing Smash and I think you beat me up like 6 times in a row on Elite Smash lmao
Congrats on the win riddles. You absolute legend
So damn deserved bro, congrats
Not bad, Kid.
4:05 EVERY DAY IS NIGHT LETS FUCKING GO BABY TIME TO MIX DRINKS AND CHANGE LIVES

Nice job riddles that is an awesome achievement
Yeah I feel the tilting problems in friendlies my minmin will piss my friends off even if they’re shitting on me
Amazing win as always
Well done sir you are truly an exemplar
Cold intro 🤣
Chances are that Zackray won a major with Wolf. Idk when, but he used to main him plus he has the most wins in a major with multiple characters
That's MY goat.
Random question but what’s the song playing during the light set? It sounds so familiar I just can’t put my finger in it lol
Took me awhile but I finally found it. Sounds so Persona. It's School Days from Persona 1
Best emote ever 🗿
love to see VA-11 HALL-A enjoyers in chat
What was that song playing during him reviewing that Light set.
Yo what’s the song he playing in the back when he’s reacting to him vs tweek
HOLY GEEZ. So happy for your success. You are now truly one of the best. The genuine tears were heartwarming, and your place in Smash history has officially been solidified! God bless. Jesus is Lord!
🔥🔥🔥
What music does he play for the moment of truth
i can now die in peace. lfg!
Let's go Riddles!!!!!
"Kazuya"
Let's goo Riddles
Now on to winning the panda cup
Finally a man who knows fox is broken!
W week for the riddlers
Doubters in shambles rn
Next step: win a major with Terry 😍
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Deserved
