Honestly I thought skyjay had riddles number since he struggles with incin, but man that adaptation was nuts. Close set between both of them, they both did amazing 👏
@@fishwoz17 I think that is honestly the difference between great players and the very best players. Players like Mkleo, light and riddles don't panic as much when things get down to the wire like this. Skyjay had him off stage at 100%, something he has been doing constantly and he flubbed it at the very end.
Skyjay kept calling out all of Riddles' attempts to approach and to return to stage; Riddles was going for a lot of Crackshoots back on and was being conditioned to shield, allowing for Skyjay to get a lot of landing side b's. However, Riddles caught on to the amount of vulnerability Incineroar has after whiffing a side B or a counter, so when he punished them, he made those punishes *count*. It's an interesting dynamic between Terry and Incineroar because both get huge amounts of damage and ridiculous punishes that often kill; Terry gets his through massive combos, while Incineroar gets them off of strong tilts/command grabs after a bit of conditioning.
@@ItsNothingPersonal32 yeah and you almost never see these combos when riddles plays other top players because he either chooses lower percent safe options or has GO to work with. It almost felt like the match was decided in the end by who had the bigger and most flashy punish
@@JohnDoe-id5ih it's towards any characters whose avg matches 4+ minutes. At that point, it's almost always 6 minutes minimum. Sonic, Olimar, Rosalina, characters who don't want to approach you, even if they can.
The fact that Riddles wasn’t able to use GO ONCE in that whole set and still made that insane final comeback is mind blowing, he is seriously goated. Both played amazing 👏
Riddles played really bad game one, crack shoot across the stage, rolling on ledge most of the time, he was just asking to get command grabbed and revenged. Good thing he adapted.
Insane commentary. You can really see Riddles on the last stock getting pissed at the constant side b/counters. Dude focused up, started playing patient and waiting for whiff punishes, and after getting double up air rising tackle, Riddles was just ready to win it
Skyjay was reading him so well throughout the entire set. Riddles just took it out from under him with good kill confirm options. Definitely a deserved win but Riddles gotta clean up those ledge options and neutral initations.
Incineroar has all the tools of a top tier. Insane kill power, solid frame data, big hitboxes, massive damage output, a counter that also acts as a huge buff(revenge is some dlc privilege type shit), great aerials, grounded moves, and kill confirms. If he was fast enough to run character down he'd be a top 20 character easily, even with the subpar recovery(aegis recovery is only slightly better).
As an Incin main I am beyond happy to see Skyjay go up to this level of competitive play. I just wish he would slow down when he’s in advantage and not spam special moves. Otherwise incredible set.
I see nothing wrong with his comment why are guys attacking him. What he's said is absolutely true, all pros have their habits nobody is perfect we all need to improve our neutral. Skyjay is know to be aggressive and always taking risk which is a double edge sword.
Skyjay is incredible. Love watching him play. However, I was disappointed how he stopped being aggressive in the last game. He had a few empty hop revenge attempts at a clearly terrified, shielding Terry. Gotta play more aggressively. It was working the entire set, so I don't know why he changed.
I love fights like this. When two titans are equally matched and just go at it in battle. I didn’t give up on Riddles even when he was losing game 5. I was like “He’s got this”. Sure enough! That was the best matchup I’ve ever seen. I hope to see these two go fight again soon.
@@Nyangorou1 That's weird then, idk what skyjay was doing. holding straight up or something? Odd. Or are you talking about him DI'ing out of the downthrow-upair?
Yeah, he can, and it wasn't bad DI. It was just a matter of him being so high up when it connected and small battlefield having a relatively low blastzone.
this was the most explosive fight in recent months, Skyjay's way of stretching his advantage was brutal, but Ridles is an expert in flipping sets, I would even pay to see a rematch xd
What an ending, Terry's down air has so little ending lag, so he can get a nair almost immediately and getting a soft nair at that percentage, he can get whatever follow up he wants, so riddles went for a down air spike The down throw> up air>up air xx charged rising tackle was amazing as well
No cap this is the best Smash Bros match I've ever seen... I'm an incin main and Terry is probably my tertiary. And these commentators made this match sooo perfect wtf
Super Smash Con is still live! Check it out here: "www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp"
Man I swear incineroar is so damn scary, skyjay optimises the character so well.
I don't remember him doing so much damage 💀
Those buffs helped a lot
@@hwanniggles187 Now imagine if they actually made his ground speed (what I wanted) faster 😈.
Side B, side B..? Really?
@@halisonconnor4463 it works ig
That game 5 comeback was SOOO hype, felt like a movie
Riddles’ up b got revenged so many times, saving the air dodge only for the last stock, this is a crazy set
IT REALLY DID!!! HOLY COW WOW!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😆😆😆😆😆 Hahahahah!! That was beautiful!!!
It was like seeing kola and riddles smash. So damn explosive and entertaining xD
Skyjay had so much spaghetti that game! He really fell apart. You can't give great players like Riddles any openings. Still a great set.

Skyjay choked hard that last game. He started spamming revenge

Absolutely insane match. That final match (and KO) was so hype.
Can we talk about these commentators. Making me pumped to watch. Don’t know these two but I love the energy
right? that scream at that end made me thought he got killed 😂
I know one of the commentators is vicky (I think that’s her name), don’t know the other one
@@The_Snailman It's SuperGirlKels, not Vicky. other person is L4st.
@@xJ1NZ0xx last is the cringe guy who runs on stage every time mk Leo wins or loses huh
I dunno who the guy is but the girl is SuperGirlKels, she's a pro herself (mains Sonic and Kirby)
seeing characters who need to fight up close is always fun
I was thinking that too. This is an exciting matchup to watch
This feels like a very indirect (and extremely warranted) diss lol.
@@lyrics2challenged I don't get it. Are they talking about Sonic or anyone else?

That just tells you Terry is busted without his busted comeback mechanic
@@ZumaZoom07 terry isn’t busted but still good, his disadvantage holds him back not as bad as kazuya but still considerable.
The commentary is on point! Great crew to an amazing event
Feel bad for Skyjay as love the incin rep but riddles deserved to win after that amazing comeback in game 3
Riddles played really bad game one, crack shoot across the stage, rolling on ledge most of the time, he was just asking to get command grabbed and revenged. Good thing he adapted.
My brain exploded with your comment because riddles lose game 3
9:59 Me when I find out dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are for dinner

This is what every set should be looking for. Hyped from start to finish. GG's to both of them
What a comeback! Nerves of steel
Loved the commentary on this one, good set!
The airdodge to get through the revenge on last stock was so good
That option literally won him the game. And the entire set.
“Are you okay? Buster Wolf 🤜🏼🔥!!”
- Terry B.
To think of it, these matches are so fast paced, Riddles didn't do a single buster wolf
Honestly... this set was really enjoyable... It's really satisfying watching people go head to head with Riddles in Melee
Skyjay is so cool man he doesn’t give a sht about Tier list he stays with the Big bad cat and always proves people wrong. His time will come.

@@shikarixox1195 Agreed 💯! To bad we will never get that movement buff from any new patches
The classic feel of an Incin move: it's one of the best in the game... but it's on Incineroar...
Might be the best set of the tourney so far! Good job, Riddles!
Ultimate at its best.
Riddles will always amaze me with the way he uses terry
@@CBCB6 what
@@CBCB6 when have I ever lied to you Christopher
Love watching both riddles and skyjay, I couldn't root for either one. This was good.
As an Incin main I am beyond happy to see Skyjay go up to this level of competitive play. I just wish he would slow down when he’s in advantage and not spam special moves. Otherwise incredible set.
Yeah bro maybe you should set up a metafy so you can coach him
Yeah maybe you should go to the levels he at and play against high level players like riddles so u can teach em
I mean Skyjay was absolutely mashing revenge way too much at the end just because he thought he could play risky with such a big lead
I see nothing wrong with his comment why are guys attacking him. What he's said is absolutely true, all pros have their habits nobody is perfect we all need to improve our neutral. Skyjay is know to be aggressive and always taking risk which is a double edge sword.
Mashing specials is how he got that lead at the end. So... it's not bad
This set was hype. Two fighting characters with their own cheese but more of an alpha fight.
THIS WAS THE MOST HYPE SET IVE EVER SEEN
This tournament has been amaaaazing so far! The best of the best. My favorite tournament yet
Steve could never make this type of hype
couldn't have asked for a better set between 2 of my favorite players
Skyjay is incredible. Love watching him play. However, I was disappointed how he stopped being aggressive in the last game. He had a few empty hop revenge attempts at a clearly terrified, shielding Terry. Gotta play more aggressively. It was working the entire set, so I don't know why he changed.
He was aggressive, but he did what Incin's do when they have a solid lead and tunnel vision a bit and give up stage control.
@@LuxTensyn yeah fr. he started spamming side b and counter and got washed for it
love that come back from Riddles in the end . was epic and insane.. Riddles was playing like a madman at the end Beast Mode. TERRY WON ! OK !
Amazing set so much fantastic options and great finish, GG to both players
These matches were so fast I didn't even felt like I watched a close ass Game 5 set
Ok
Loved the matches. Loved the commentating. Loved the final scream
This is one of the most hype sets i’ve ever seen
Riddles is a beast! He's definitely in my top 3 favorite players! Don't ever sleep on this man!
11:06 the way they say that just sent me
Damn what a great commentary duo!!!
That air dodge back to ledge from riddles on the last stock was perfect.
Riddles is my boi, but Skyjay is actually sick. He always has such intense sets against top players.
What a great set, and hype comeback from riddles man but he missed the opportunity to throw the cap lol
Great match! Great commentary!
Congrats to the players and the commentators. This set was sick!
Bro I love the energy from these commentators!!
What a set! Feels like Skyjay has leveled up recently
I love fights like this. When two titans are equally matched and just go at it in battle. I didn’t give up on Riddles even when he was losing game 5. I was like “He’s got this”. Sure enough! That was the best matchup I’ve ever seen. I hope to see these two go fight again soon.
What a hype set! Love watching both of these players!
I had my bets on riddles from the start. Love that guy, never fails to impress 🔥
Skyjay vs fatality or riddles. I can't tell what set was more hype
1:29 The voice crack 💀
Wow, that was an incredible set. Nail-biting was the perfect way to describe it. Also "down ya go... into losers" was great
Riddles is one of my favorite players to watch (maybe my favorite actually) but I have seen SkyJay a bit before but this set was CRAZY HYPE!!
riddles turned into the protagonist at the end there
What an amazing comeback that’s that top player energy
Best set of the tourney so far. By miles
Probably the most explosive fight in the tournament!
That Fatal Fury hat is sick.
lucky hat. brings good luck and it's cool .
SET OF THE YEAR
Been waiting for this mu, so hype 🙌
Hell of a set, great effort by both competitors. That Game 5 was epic.
One year later this set still hella hype.
Amazing set, tense till the end. Great job both
Talk about nail biting, I bit my whole hand watching these two players!! Great match!!
Blazing fun to watch these two 🔥
Been on a Skyjay binge lately, catching up on his epic Incineroar playstyle. What a beast of a character in the right hands eh
Mad props to Skyjay on game 1 man is on point.
This whole set got me pumped but the last game! The comeback had me on my toes !
Can Terry just kill like that at 50% from a single grab? I've never seen that but it looked true.
Depends on the character
That was just bad DI considering Incin's weight
@@Nyangorou1 That's weird then, idk what skyjay was doing. holding straight up or something? Odd. Or are you talking about him DI'ing out of the downthrow-upair?
Yeah, he can, and it wasn't bad DI. It was just a matter of him being so high up when it connected and small battlefield having a relatively low blastzone.
this was the most explosive fight in recent months, Skyjay's way of stretching his advantage was brutal, but Ridles is an expert in flipping sets, I would even pay to see a rematch xd
What a performance from both players. Absolutely insane
yup this is the most hype set so far
Top tier commentary, definitely wanna hear more of these two!
I love the commentator’s screams
6:57 dude how big is the hitbox on revenge?
It’s a shame more people don’t play these characters because they are so fun to watch!
best set ive seen ina while! VERY EXPLOSIVE
These are my 2 favorite players, couldn’t decide who I was rooting for lol
Great commentary, always giving eachother room to talk
Fascinating players!
After those alolan whips I was so damn happy to see riddles clutch that SO HARD
What an ending, Terry's down air has so little ending lag, so he can get a nair almost immediately and getting a soft nair at that percentage, he can get whatever follow up he wants, so riddles went for a down air spike
The down throw> up air>up air xx charged rising tackle was amazing as well
Goated set, both played amazing right till the end
Numerous insane issues still happening seeing what leo riddles & light facing
Favorite set so far
Great set!
A tip for incinaroar players: I recently found out about down tilt into down air, practice that on ledge in training and see how satisfying it is :)
i swear these are the first commentators i have actually been entertained by lmao
crazy stuff bro
Skyjay is dope making it this far with a low tier
2:50 That little out of shield Nair hit for 32‰ 💀💀💀
No cap this is the best Smash Bros match I've ever seen... I'm an incin main and Terry is probably my tertiary. And these commentators made this match sooo perfect wtf
Riddles didn’t get to use a go move this entire set lol
0:55 when you just finish a big buss an she screams in your ear 👂 “OMG” 😂
you're not funny, especially when mentioning dirty jokes
The commentator having a voice crack😭 1:28
Anyone here after skyjay stuff??
I was already excited enough to see my most favorite players fighting, but the final game made me scream from the sheer action
Great set
Matchup of the century: Jab Jab power dunk vs alolan whip
that was a beast air dodge at the end
Brooo what a crazy match ! Let's go Riddles !!!
