As a Ryu main this was crazy. His movement this tournament was on point it made my Ryu look like Ganondorf. Asimo my Goat. That up throw on the block to get the second hit was sick as hell.
Asimo always been beating really good players with his ryu. Not even his first time taking a set off acola it’s just the first time he has went to a big tournament and beat everyone lol. But yeah he definitely seemed just really understood all the matchups and he definitely has improved doing the slingshot tech.
man i said a while ago that ryu was a good character and possibly the best FGC in smash 😂 . people were crying about kazuya . bruh has nobody played against a good ryu ? he can give you shaku PTSD
Asimo Ryu is super cracked. The fact that he managed to bring back that final game with that true shoryuken is amazing. Honestly it kind of tells you that Ryu should not be underestimated. EVER! I watch a lot of Ryu gameplay so I can learn how to be better at this guy, and the fact that he won was insane to me.
No, Riddles brought him to a good level in the last tournament, he just has to play a better game against Sonix and he can win a big Major...@@drinkkvas
@@drinkkvasone thing in my opinion about smash is no one should ever assume character performances are set in stone, smash meta is ever evolving and you never know which character might swing next (e.g. Byleth before mkLeo, incin before Skyjay, corrin)
Seeing Yoshi get edgeguarded by Ryu is something I never imagined in my wildest dreams, like bro was going OUT THERE. I try anything like that online I get instantly gimped 😢
I think theres a lot of characters that have very little skill expression, and ironically its usually the mid or low tier characters. Main problem is just that everyone has seen what the character can do and its almost impossible to create anything new with the character. Best example is captain falcon
4:53 I feel like in ult a lot of the really good characters stick to their obvious broken stuff, which creates a lot of “seen that before” gameplay. It definitely does have moments where character expression is there though
Think this is more of a stereotype honestly. Ult is a game that's full of labber discords and such. Tweek's Diddy plays way different than Aaron's. Etc.
@@arglebargle5531 I think the expression is pretty character dependent. Diddy, like you said, has a ton of freedom with banana. But how much is there to express with game and watch? I guess maister/Miya have their differences, but it’s still a very same-ish gameplan
Does anyone know what the name of the song that plays at 9:28 is? cause I swear to god I've heard it, and it probably comes from either sf4 or mvc3 (if not, I'm sorry), but I can't quite put my finger on it
I might catch some heat but I'm up for it, ai don't think riddles is as good as people say he is and old tournament footage I've been getting recommended is a small bit of proof. Dude us a good player for sure but only really against online opponents not really in tournaments
Look I can admit this may be RUclips giving me his recorded losses and it's no surprise he's a talented player i will give him that. Just that A LOT of hid major victories come from the online scene not in any real official tournament settings
@@lionwhyte___2634What in the world are you talking about? You're talking about Riddles who has two major wins, and one of them is a supermajor, has multiple wins on Sonix despite playing an awful matchup, was a consistent problem for Sparg0 and MkLeo, and was ranked in the top 10 for several seasons. And you're saying his accomplishments are mainly online?

I don’t understand. He wasn’t playing like this earlier. Everything was optimized to the point where I’m reimagining how Ryu ought to be played.

Sometimes you just play hot, it's very hard to consistently play neutral/space in these matchups
We may be entering the era of perfection. Players playing so well, that cheese falls out of the meta

@@PotentialThall bro people forget ryu gotta be the fgc character with the best neutral in the game fr.
Damn Ryu winning in SF6 and Smash. This is his time.
Year of Ryu. Also the year of Shadow, Terry and Heihachi
What a treat. I wish I had a beer to watch this, my favorite Ryu cast by my favorite smash player.
Alcohol is poison.
@@alexneuman600 depends who drinks
i always love a good cold one while watching sets
Asimo the back air bandit

Truly the battle of ages. Asibair or Zombair
@@alephkasai9384pls make this his actual nickname
Against the best character in the game and was camping his ass off and still won and took the #1 spot. Asimo is on a different level.

Watching how Asimo beat aCola
Riddles to Chat: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!!"
hasn't kola not dnoe anything in a while?
Riddles is just gonna rely on his DLC privileges
@@benjimiguel17acola not kola
noob @@fupalover
@@fupaloverif he was dlc privileged he’d win all the time no? Didn’t think so. So stop that that nonsense
As time goes on with this game, I believe there are only going to be more unexpected victories and new character potential discovered.
I love you Riddles but Asimo is the best Ryu in the world, not just Japan.
Edit: He changed the title now
that's what it says in the title.
He always was the best in the world
@@IceeSwirl He changed it now, it used to say "in Japan"
TO BE FAIR, if you're the best in the world, then you're the best in Japan.
We need solo Terry to win a major.
Character sucks too hard for that
@@drinkkvasIf Ryu can do it, so can Terry
@@wyvrix5421 terry losing to any kind of SDI when it comes to kill confirms and beyond awful recovery pretty much means he won’t Win sadly.

Proof it's all about the player
Seeing Yoshi get edgeguarded by Ryu is something I never imagined in my wildest dreams, like bro was going OUT THERE. I try anything like that online I get instantly gimped 😢
We always say how Western players get buffed after going to Japan, but perhaps its the same for Japanese players who come to America
Yeah we learn from each others meta
Great reaction as always Asimo is so sick
69 views in three minutes bro did not fall off
I'm more impressed about this being his first supermajor tbh, Asimo's Ryu is godlike
AY RIDDLES NICE MUSIC TASTE I friggin love vega's theme

Clicking for the 50/50 on if it's Asimo or Kusanagi
Its the year of Ryu From Streets, baby
Huge FGC win for the shotos!
8:55 amazing music timing on this combo!
あしーも最強❤
Asimo is our fucking goat for the SF mains
Cool how this can apply to two games this month
Didn't a Ryu win UFA for SF6 recently as well?
Amazing vid

I need to finally catch ur streams 😅
I wonder if Riddles will try HDR someday 🤔
That was crazy ending he had to end with shoryuken
5:34 what’s the name of this banger ? 🕺🏻🕺🏻
Hi riddles!
Yo what’s this music in the first 3rd of the vid? I swear it sounds familiar.
5:10 can someone tell me what version of Cody’s theme this is?
Pretty sure it's his SF4 theme
I love you riddles❤
Lets go Asimo!!!!!
ohhh nice. Here's that comment for you
there's a reason he's the Asi-GOAT
U should 1v1 him
These Ryus are starting to win all of a sudden not just in SF but in SMASH. Worst shoto still??
that outro speech was hella slow
Good
Does anyone know what the name of the song that plays at 9:28 is? cause I swear to god I've heard it, and it probably comes from either sf4 or mvc3 (if not, I'm sorry), but I can't quite put my finger on it
Volcanic Rim from sf4

Asimo is the goat
ASIMO LETS GOOO
Hey Asimo who what's your favorite animal
Asimo: Bair
Oh a Bear 🐻
Asimo: no B-AIRRRR
Reeyuu
Insert good early comment*
Steve 11 out of 10 cheap. Acola 12 out of 10 annoying.
So glad Asimo won this. Hope Acola never wins another major again.
comment for the algorithm

3:30 yo is it just me or does it sound like the commentator is rapping to the music
1:45 too bro
:()
9:28 SF4 MENTIONED RAHHH WTF IS A BUFFER SYSTEM!!
Asimo is sick. Acola is just carried by dlc. People just don’t want to accept it
lol cry
I might catch some heat but I'm up for it, ai don't think riddles is as good as people say he is and old tournament footage I've been getting recommended is a small bit of proof. Dude us a good player for sure but only really against online opponents not really in tournaments
Hey almost took a game from MkLeo back when Leo solo main Joker. This is when Riddles still played Ken.
riddles got top 8 at a recent premiere tier major and the only person he lost to was sonix, riddles is cracked
Look I can admit this may be RUclips giving me his recorded losses and it's no surprise he's a talented player i will give him that. Just that A LOT of hid major victories come from the online scene not in any real official tournament settings
