This is one of those matchups that like...if I told my child self Kazuya would fight Mr. Game and Watch, _I wouldn't know who those guys even were._

7:08 is the funniest kill in smash history

Check out yeetsmash video with steve getting a KO while he's sleeping on top of the anvil.

[@eligriswald7827]

I knew the winner of game 5 before it started just off the fact that there was only 3 minutes left of the video when game 5 started

[@KidAL0]

Riddles turned on the Tekken OST and got transported to a parallel universe where Kazuya is G&W’s worst MU

I’d just like to point out that this set is 10 minutes shorter than Tweek vs Ken, even though they played 5 games instead of 4

[@Shyningfade]

I don't know why but this feels like a My Hero Academia theme being played

@@armalite6837 As someone who mained him but had to pick up other characters because some matchups are unwinnable, he's not top tier. Too many characters can work around that up B, and it's his only tool that stands out besides up air and down smash

[@AverageDoctor345]

This matchup seems _very_ annoying for Kazuya

[@Yokai_Yuri]

How Maister has fallen hard. Before he used to be kind of a top 8 character. Now that game and watch has nothing else to offer, he cant make it. Riddles on the other hand, is getting carried super hard by Kazuya. Riddles doesn't quite win tournaments where real top players are and he is sitting roughly at 8th or 9th, but the fsct he wasnt even top 25 before kazuya tells you a lot.

[@PeterParker-rk4fe]

Sometimes I get the feeling that top players don’t really respect riddles because he plays kazuya

[@fingolfin879]

He was literally top 6 in NA's PGR maining Terry lol

[@christianokoye9491]

@@fingolfin879 But with a Kazuya secondary, and some of his bracket demons had their fortunes reversed from not the Terry matchup, but from the Kazuya matchup. Kola was beating his Terry's ass, Spargo was beating his Terry's ass. But if you only have to win neutral a 3rd of the time, you can win more games.

[@fingolfin879]

@@christianokoye9491 He definitely did better with a secondary but that doesnt mean he's carried. That's pretty insulting to the amount of work he puts in labbing combos and grinding matchups. He got slapped by Steve and Dark Samus among others with Kazuya but worked on the matchup to overcome them.

the way riddles patiently waited on this spam camping tweaker was truly a joy to watch. thank you, Riddles.

I like seeing Riddles win but you really cannot blame someone for camping a character that murders you off one interaction.

[@vick7868]

@@michaelnelson8618 GnW isn't usually a camping character. He is a character with a lot of impressive combo starters off short ranged aerials and throws without any real zoning tools. Closest one is Chef, which is alright, but you arent gonna usually be seeing a GnW player playing keep-away by spamming it.

[@dylanross9938]

Kazuya broken. Don't deserve his place in smash. I would not say that if Sakurai knew how to balance the game. Maister knew what he was doing but still lost.

Maister playing such an annoying and campy game.

[@jessetucker3997]

Dude, he's playing against Kazuya with the 3rd lightest character in the game. You don't simply rush in on that matchup unless you have a death wish. If anything, I think Maister should have camped even harder when he had leads in this set. G&W has no strategic reason to approach Kazuya when he's winning.

I think he did what he could. It was a good game! I thought that was a mean Game and Watch

[@YesSir-mz6ds]

In most cases, I think a camping playstyle is stupid and annoying, but let's be real bro, what other option did Maister have. You can't just rush Kazuya all the time. You have to be really careful and slow, especially as such a light character.
