Light wanted to speedrun a Winners Semis

[@ItsNothingPersonal32]

Damn, Light just had about enough of dying to Riddles at 0-30% during their previous matches. Great adjustments by him!

[@DavionLane]

6:20 light is literally crazy for that

[@toon4416]

Why are there furries just casually chilling on the side?

[@flowgix6427]

Light is amazing right now, he's really on the rise since a while Watch out for Riddles tho, he's quickly reaching the top ! Both these players are amazing

[@skylerharris3914]

I didn’t wanna watch this at first. Didn’t wanna see my boi riddles get massacred.

[@Greenlink01]

This whole tournament has been fire.

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

Light clearly did his homework on the matchup after knowing he would be facing Riddles Terry in top 8. Riddles barely got a single meaningful Terry confirm the entire set, Light had some kinda crazy read or download on the matchup. Still, good on riddles for taking longer to rematch after a tough loss, and regain composure.

[@Mortis_XII]

yo i'm always happy to hear these commentators.

[@bonzwah1]

6:55 can you say "production value"? this finish is absolutely so anime with the loser just barely slower with the final blow.

[@MisterStubstep]

Such a quick match

[@Just_Tet]

No one is giving riddles enough credit. Light was clearly playing INSANE and wasn’t dropping a dime of %. Not just this set but the whole tourney. He converted everything and was moving insane etc. and even still riddles kept it close every game while clearly being frustrated and having a hard time playing at his pace. He missed a lot of free damage and even had it game 1 if he did power dunk instead of buster wolf at the ledge. Riddles keeping up with a light playing this hot is insanely impressive

[@raphu2272]

Riddles played well but i wouldnt say it was close lol

[@Just_Tet]

@@raphu2272 wym? Every game was close and competitive

[@funkyjammies5374]

Nah man. Light is in a different league than Riddles. Riddles puts a lot of work into his characters but Light 3-0's him 9/10 times. In this set we saw a lot of failed conversions and panicked recoveries that Light was able to take advantage of. I think a lot of people assume that since the execution on Terry/Kazuya is hard, the player must be better than they actually are for pulling off kill confirms in a match. When in reality it's just a different and more difficult execution path to taking a stock. Down tilt confirm to power dunk is indeed harder than short hop nair into up smash, but the person whose actually playing neutral/disadvantage/advantage to get those victories has got to be the better player.

[@dpcsoup04]

Idk what these other people are saying anyone with eyes can see the games were “close” by conventional standards. But as you said light played insane. Which makes it more impressive that riddles kept the games close, I agree.

[@ShadowBeetle]

2:58 i for sure didnt expect that

[@muteking9241]

Haha everytime I watch a light set stocks are flying left and right 😂

[@daytonbenson1203]

Man poor riddles was scrambling and whiffing all game. Light put the fear in him

Eyo what these furries doing here😂 2:56

[@jusspimpin]

Light the hypest smash player on the planet, period.

[@Sheamus1212]

Ouf. Shoulda brought out the kazuya

[@ikigai_is_the_way]

Yeah idk why did he stay on Terry

[@theimpersonator7086]

I mean Light fights vs Axiom XL a lot and Terry is a better matchup vs Fox

[@ikigai_is_the_way]

In moments when he has the advantage and he claps his oppenent, he changes as if he just wanted to have fun but when he gets kicked he stays on Terry, weird?

[@ikigai_is_the_way]

@@theimpersonator7086 really? That's unfortunate lol

[@ikigai_is_the_way]

But he should've try at least one game with Kazuya imo

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

0:56 You can block the combo ?!

[@fungusenormus2378]

Fox is a fast falling character and i guess Light DI'ed correctly. Sometimes you have to adjust your combo string depending on your opponent's character.

[@rebornfire6]

fox is the only character where it confirms much later because he falls so fast (the faster the faller the higher the percent needs to be when u land dtilt)

[@KawaiiThresh]

Alot of characters can SDI down to get hit with the combo later. SDi down and hold shield. Its not only with fox though.

[@realchezboi]

He literally shielded on the perfect frame, one frame later and he would’ve died

[@KawaiiThresh]

@@realchezboi yeah but he had 120%+ respectively

[@312bigbeanburrito]

no Kazuya? Are Kazuya combos inconsistent on Fox because of his weight?

[@CoHzus]

Love both players but ayo my the homie riddles got smoked 😭 light is playing crazy!!!

[@mrharvy100]

Yeah Fox can run circles around Terry and can punish a lot of Terries tools consistently. Fox dies early to Terry as we saw in one stock, but Terry struggles to get that stock kill in. His Go is rarely a factor as we saw it only mattered for one stock that entire set since Fox can consistently kill Terry before he could use it much

[@daviddeleon4937]

Yeah Light essentially made all the right adjustments; outspace all of Riddles' movement and aggressive defensive options and play the long game of attrition to make sure Terry dies first before he can 0 to death you.

[@mcdonaldshashbrown9326]

Yeah not to mention fox has amazing cross ups on shield and safe pokes like his bair dtilt and mixups with nair

[@carbon6111]

Light clearly studied the matchup after he lost to Riddles at Collison. He played around GO meter especially well.

[@jaqf]

I feel like ken is the best fgc for this matchup

[@RangoTheMercenary]

Damn. And Terry's usually my pick against Fox.

[@davidibe4025]

nahh light is crazy 😭

[@philclip23]

If you've ever fought an FGC character as Fox, you know how much it sucks. Dying hella early. Your optimal range is also their optimal range, but they inherently get more damage from every neutral interaction. One neutral loss, and you're already at kill percent. You saw Light die at 50% to f-tilt buster wolf! Fox needs to outplay Terry at EVERY. TURN. To get a lead and hold onto it. This is the apex of Fox.

[@notalexander18]

Nah fox and the fgcs are even matches. (Maybe terry beats fox by a small margin) fox has amazing aerials and better movement which helps against shotos and terry and especially kazuya.

[@jaqf]

bro fox terry is even

[@udontwannaknowmyname2303]

When in doubt? Cheat your way out comment in game 3 was BS!! Power guieser confirm is not easy on any level. Especially top tier against one of the best players in the world.

[@sentientmeat96]

Up-tilt>power geyser is incredibly high-value, low-risk, and easy to execute. Maybe the dumbest confirm in the entire game.

[@Yokai_Yuri]

7:30 - 7:40 is exactly what all the shotos/fighter do. Just keep on mashing, their attacks will go through the enemies. Then...after being punished for playing the mashing game the game rewards riddles by 7:58 - 8:01 OH MAN RIDDLES SO MUCH SKILL ! I almost died right there, the dude sweats the word skill. Come on now...that's stupid. But I guess this is why he gets far, he is using carry characters after all. They are meant to kill you as soon as you hit 20% just one hit or two and you are done.
