Liquid Riddles vs sisqui - Ultimate Singles Top 8 - Battle of BC 4

[@adamquenano8563]

I like how Riddles went all of his different forms against Sisqui

[@dougbowser1993]

no roy tho

[@typhlosion7872]

He didn't go Ken

[@nathanlevesque7812]

Well, all the ones he still uses at least.

[@thedank6849]

"That's a hitbox on that pop off" was the best thing i've heard in a while

[@StephenSiu]

Watched this in person and it was my first major I ever attended. When Riddles 11:55 reflected the charge shot with Kazuya it was legit the hypest moment. Aside from his insane pop off - he was literally crying. So proud of him 🥺 edit: time stamp!

[@cristiangranados6292]

Bro that reflect moment was such a hard read. He did it point blank

[@xenologue7403]

I need that girl who was screaming everytime Kazuya landed a hit at every majors venue, all expenses paid

[@가나다-h6g7q]

So happy to see Riddles overcoming hard matchups and pop offing I hope he will win a major in someday

[@oblxquy]

LETS GOOOO HE GOT IT

[@noahvick1472]

The liquid sponsorship must include pop offs in the contract 😂 guy channeled his inner Hbox

[@ItsNothingPersonal32]

MY BOY DID IT! 🤩 CONGRATS, RIDDLES! Honestly couldn't have picked a better opponent for him, though. Sisqui is probably the best Samus in the world; it's honestly a shame the tournament ruleset disallowed him from banning any stages.

[@Noobtuber251]

Fd is a great stage for Samus, dude just got punished for only playing one character. Sisqui could barely adapt while Riddles had 5 games to adapt.

[@ItsNothingPersonal32]

@@Noobtuber251 True, but taking Kazuya to FD is still scary because you have nowhere to escape to. Sisqui only had to make one mistake to have his stock ended.

[@Chav1v]

@@ItsNothingPersonal32 sakaurai wanted it in the game, so it is. If sakaurai didn't want you to be able to take kazuya to fd then he wouldn't have allowed it

[@zannax351]

@@Chav1v what does that even have to do with this? It's a tournament, we make our own ruleset out of the many possible ones Sakurai allowed for us. Do you think tournaments should have 9 stock matches in great cave offensive just because Sakurai allows it? Bans are an external part of competitive, but it is a possibility all the same, and one that benefits competitive play

[@ItsNothingPersonal32]

@@Chav1v I'm not complaining. 😁 I find all Kazuya fights entertaining.

[@theimpersonator7086]

If Riddles ever faces Shuton in bracket, he should go Richter for one game imo for the meme. Also this rule set should never be tried again rofl. Kazuya is the biggest offender but there are like 20 other chars who become super stupid on FD.

[@Alex-rz9sd]

The commentary and crowd reactions during game 3 were absolutely insane. people were legit screaming because of the hype of such a great set! See 10:45, 11:00, 11:10, 11:50 , 12:12... well, just watch game 3 lol

[@SuperAaron360]

The commentator turned into Joseph Joestar on each of those time time stamps

[@epsilon9669]

This is the best set of ultimate I've ever seen. This whole top 8 was just unbelievable.

[@cristiangranados6292]

Bro the pop off!

[@jonathanb.5153]

3:17 anyone notice that instant dj landing?

[@diegocorral8787]

Holy shit, I remember learning that from Fatality like 3 years ago as Falcon can do that too. I hope to see more instant dj landing as iirc its lagless right?

[@MannyForReal]

Yeah they're called no impact lands (nil) and Richter is one of the characters who can do it on every platform but it varies in timing. Some believe it's purposeful for him bc he can do a similar move in Castlevania. To my knowledge on plats falcon and I believe Roy can do this but it's limiting for them. Other characters have ways they could get on platform faster but it's not a nil although similar.

[@ner9469]

It's called NIL (no impact land) It's a tech Belmonts can do by DJing in the right direction wirh perfect timing. Sounds hard, isn't really hard. Depending on platform height/stage they have a setup for almost all platforms in the game (legal stages).

[@SK-df1iw]

@@MannyForReal Roy can't do it, it's only Falcon and Belmonts. I'm pretty sure that Belmonts have a 2 frame window for NIL whereas Falcon has a 1 frame window which is why you see Belmonts do it much more commonly than Falcons.

[@MannyForReal]

@@SK-df1iw I believe there is a clip of Roy getting it on side plats of t&c but they may have been moving which is probably what affected it

[@mrCetus]

That pop off was historic

[@SuperStrikto]

our man sisqui is sooo good, gg bro ^^! congratulations to the winner

[@chuxnorris919]

What an iconic match. Puts an emphasis on that FGC idea of being a head nodder vs. a head shaker.

[@psycomachia]

Man I remember just a few months ago when Riddles was saying the kazuya reflector isn't viable to go for in competitive bc the execution was inconsistent. Look at him go now.

[@Fibless]

12:24 "That was the right option just on the wrong character" yea that sounds about right

[@Gender_Ascender]

Okay the sheer hype of the ending just set the fucking hype level through the roof

[@austinwallestad1113]

Wow, fighting Kazuya on FD literally looks impossible. And Samus is usually one of the best counterpicks to Kazuya! Also, does anyone else find it wild that the F-smash at 12:21 was actually safe on shield against Samus?

[@typhlosion7872]

Europe and Asia took up 5 combined players in top 8. Glad to see everyone showing up and proving their regions are just as good (or in the case of Japan, better) as America. Dont know the region Ouch!? resides in

[@theexaltedlt8222]

Riddles and Ouch are Canadian. Sisqui is from Spain Gluttony is from France Tea,kome,shuton and ken are from Japan.

[@typhlosion7872]

@@theexaltedlt8222 I said the continents instead of the countries because I was so lazy I didn't want to say both Spain and France. Obviously I know the countries everyone except Ouch!? comes from because they're all well known top players.

Riddles competing for best pop off?..

[@petrusco1763]

no stage ban xd

[@ShuffleAlliance]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, a Samus that continues to strictly rely on the charge shot will lose. GG Sisqui. Get your Zair and bomb combos together. Develop a strategy for FD instead of standing and shooting. Riddles had no business hard reading, but it was allowed bc Sisqui has some embedded behaviors with charge shot that he's gotta change.

[@ashercarriero3012]

Bad take he got top 8 at a major and you developed this opinion at 4 million gsp

[@ShuffleAlliance]

@@ashercarriero3012 lol sure, at least respond with valid points. I'm awaiting a discussion, not a belittling contest. As I have stated abt Quik, and Teaser, the shoot and run game only takes you but so far. Quik has enhanced his aggressive game without charge shot within this past yr, which you can view within his most recent videos on here. Again, no discredit to Sisqui. I am simply stating where he can make improvement and how his play style contributed to his downfall. If you have something to counter, bring the discussion. Prove me wrong if I am wrong. Simple as that.

@@ashercarriero3012 I wish I could play you with my Samus and have this discussion live. It would be wild. Anyway, I await your response.

I love how annoyed Sisqui was at Kazuya. Should've banned FD bruh. I don't get how you can be annoyed when you play one of the most braindead annoying characters, Samus. Just flowchart and ledgetraps all day, but you wanna have an attitude when you lose a winning matchup, whatta sore loser.

[@Posyopues2007]

bro is normal je got mad at the literal scenarios everyone complained about that many hated the tournament just because of it.Besides, don't be foolish if he uses samus it has nothing to do with why he's upset he's the second best player in europe and with his "brainded" samus has gradually managed to put a mark on the map.And this just to show that Europe is not a weak region as everyone believes.

[@Posyopues2007]

Besides, he wasn't angry if you knew Spanish you would understand, in his video he explains how it went and he's really not angry, he clearly says that it was his best tournament in the world.Finally, I would say that neither of them should be insulted, they both played great and gave one of the most hyped matches of the tournament
