The 4 hit combo in Game 5 really just broke me lmao It would’ve been funnier when if Riddles pulled the Tea and got the down b suicide at the last stock lol

Damn!!! I can’t believe how dominant He looked at Game 5. I believed return to Kazuya was a mistake but daaaamn Riddles knows what he’s doing

[@Epikruss]

That down smash spike was nasty, Tweek got robbed out of that stock.

[@aquatazer]

No robberies can be committed against a Diddy Kong player. Their entire kit is robbing people out of playing the game, including their Dair that’s stronger than that Down Smash.

[@lukektelfer]

I like seeing Riddles do the multiple head bobs like at 19:06, in time with his combos. You can see when he's practiced a setup a lot and is timing the rhythm

[@Knuckles0918]

this is called the samsora

[@s3eriousbl9ck26]

I said it before and ill say it again... I love when Tweek plays with vengeance. Calm Tweek aint gone triple roll Rid's Kazuya in a banana peels before he smoke em. Only a madman will do such unnecessary monkeying around and im here for it. Notice from that point on he was on Rid's bumper. Nothing but pressure. Flowy Tweek is the beast that terrorized summit on his comeback. No need to zone when you got the sauce.

[@alephkasai9384]

Yeah tweek really plays that Diddy Kong real nice. It's pretty amazing to watch him

[@isaacsmith6482]

Tweek had 2 spots in game 3 where he tried to do an airdodge-cancel item toss downwards to win the game, but didn't quite pull it off. This set could have gone very differently had that happened. 12:20 and 12:38, for reference. You can see that he airdodges after hitting Riddles with banana but doesn't manage to catch the banana since it is too high. This seems like it would be a setup that Tweek has labbed out, since he went for it twice, but I'm not sure why it didn't work here. Maybe the airdodge was too late.

[@prama5]

first game looks like tweek actually saved riddles after the spike

[@sparkfx5874]

Man I feel for Tweek on this one...he had it, but Kazuya's bullshit just stole that shit from him lol

[@jaydenhohman2590]

LOL. Kazuya tweek is a bad matchup. Riddles deserved this. He's still a top player in BOTH GAMES. Riddles haters gonna have a hard time after this one

[@sentoworf]

There was some Kazuya bs but there were a lot of hard callouts by Riddles as well. Pretty disingenuous to ignore Tweek constantly being punished for all his bad monkey flips or for messing up his edgeguards. You can even see Tweek save Riddles game 1 after he was already dead from the spike and it ended up costing him the game.

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Whiff punishment is Kazuyas forte in Tekken and smash, you can't do lazy flips and stuff against him or he will punish you heavily like he is designed to do, the owness is on Kazuyas opponent to approach him with care, Diddy is Diddy but he has a whole kit designed around his banana peel which you can use against a slow guy like Kazuya very effectively, if the Diddy does not it's not Kazuyas fault.

[@millennialking8409]

Sweet lord in heaven above that d smash spike actually made me pog

[@karanveersehra6336]

Congrats to Riddles for getting 5th in both Ult and SF6. It must be insanely difficult having to transition between games

[@BakingSoda4U]

Him saying he doesn't care about being "the best" anymore has actually helped him a lot with stress issues and what not. It's all about being good, not about comparing yourself to others: learn from them, yes, but don't try to determine your personal value (both as a player and as a person) based on how they are performing.

[@karanveersehra6336]

@@BakingSoda4U I totally agree with that! Light actually mentioned that kind of mentality during his podcast saying that when you compete with the mindset of “I’m just going to do the best I can”, it makes your play better as you aren’t as stressed

[@rocu5036]

Riddles is HYPE i don't care if he uses broken characters it's so much fun to watch

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Nothing broken about them tbh, maybe Kazuya could have his damage toned down a bit but he is an import and pays like he does in Tekken, which is the whole point of importing characters.

[@jamesmkay]

@@jaydenhohman2590 I don’t speak about matchup, I speak about the fact that if u loose ur focus few seconds against Kaguya, he will Electric and kill u.

[@SadFace229]

Some characters need you to completely dominate the majority of the 7:00 minute 3 stock match to win while other characters can take stocks in 10 seconds if you slip up and give them the opportunity to do a reversal. Kazuya and Terry have that explosive X factor. I'm reminded of Muteace's video on "how good a character is at taking stocks" which is a separate discussion from how good a character is (in relation to being put on a tier list). You can have a bad matchup, but that doesn't describe how much effort and precision are needed to maintain a lead in a favorable matchup. Now that I've written the above, Perhaps, maaaaaaybe I see Spargo's point where he talks about the Cloud/Steve matchup being "slightly" in Cloud's favor as opposed to dominantly despite him dominating Acola. One of his arguments is that Steve can reversal you for the win if you're not careful.
