Dumb take. Both played very well, Kola just outplayed him. I generally hate Kazuya as it feels he never earns his kills but Kola simply played the matchup well.

[@pedrosuarez8646]

I'm a kazuya main and I gotta say, that was so good from Kola, instead of changing his playstyle for the match up playing lame and slow, he just became so much more aggressive to a point riddles just couldn't handle anymore. It's so nice to see a player succeed by improving his own style/skills instead of playing "cheap" strategies like camping... I mean Holy shit this dude just outplayed him aggressively and constantly the entire match... Insane stuff from kola

Keep grinding.

[@PDRUV]

Indeed. Dude spent an entire year playing the character before getting any meaningful results with him, and he even thought about dropping him a few times, but the second he won a major, everyone suddenly hated the character, and he was "carried". This community can suck so much ass sometimes man.

[@mastergamingdude6191]

​@@PDRUV That's the shit I'm saying! As sad as I am that he dropped Terry, I am glad he's putting in work with kazuya! It pisses me off how people act like the character is easy to use or is stupidly broken when many of Kazuyas combos take time and dedication! Stay on the grind , Riddles!

[@ulyx9804]

@@mastergamingdude6191 The skill ceiling is not what people are complaining about. Joker, Shiek, and Pikachu have INSANE skill ceilings too.

Kazuya doesn't even play this well in his home series.

[@EbonySeraphim]

27:54 -- as a Roy player, that was such a satisfying hit. It was so basic of a thing that I imagine solid (online) Roy players learn -- train your opponent to think you're more likely to jump up to catch them mid air, or that you're waiting for them on a given spot on the ground. The opponent observes for one, and aims to move to dodge the ground attack but you predicted all of that and move at the last second to smash attach in that landing spot/timing they thought was safe. I suspect the usual counter and normal play at the level these guys are at is that as soon as Kola moved on the ground, Riddles needed to press a button and not react defensively. But Kola is a much more fearsome trainer in terms of needing to cover full on aggressive options. That finisher was a straight prediction from Kola.

Hi I am not well versed in the rules Smash Tournaments use. Why did the Roy player win after losing a "set" to the Kazuya main?

Because Kola didn't lose a single set before Grand Finals. You need to lose two sets before getting eliminated and since Kola was still in winner side of bracket Riddles had to win two times to win the whole tournament. Hope it helped 😅
