T'y riddles love u

[@roxasform]

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL BRO!!!!!

[@Leap623]

The advice with holding the diagonal input for EWGF is great, I noticed that a bit ago during an input viewer stream and my EWGF's went from like a 10% success rate to about 80%. Also for crouch dash cancelling, he kinda touched on this but from what I understand the biggest thing is to make sure that you both flick and release the C stick while the left stick is being held, i.e. (Hold Left Stick) > (Hold C Stick) > (Release C Stick) > (Release Left Stick) all in quick succession. Helps to practice the motion at a slower pace and gradually build up how fast you do it.

[@HawkTeevs]

I think it really helps to think of it like this: just flick the C stick as you’re dashing Start dashing, then flick the C stick as you’re dashing

[@Leap623]

@@ashervanmaanen3353 You're pushing left or right on the left stick (towards your opponent), and down on the c-stick. Expect to get some down tilts by mistake as you work out the timing. If you're asking about smash vs. tilt stick, I believe you need it set to tilt stick, I wasn't able to get it to work with smash stick.

[@Oz1455]

I played him since he came out and I had no idea you needed to hold the stick input.

[@nathanshepard3751]

People on this comment thread deserve the sloppiest of top for these tips

[@Dontannoyme34894]

It actually helps doing it with my eyes closed so I can focus only on the motion instead of my animation!!!

[@omgvanta514]

I migrated from tekken kazuya and adapted to the smash kazuya. After getting used to the GC controller was able to execute moderately in smash after like 1 week of playing. They did a very good job at bringing their iteration of kaz in the game.

[@djcleaner69]

Wow every tutorial made that input seem hard but that 32 seconds was more helpful than anything else 💀 thank you so much

[@EWGFmas]

You did a phenomenal job, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Great hand visuals, great communication, thoroughly explained each input to a T. By far the most helpful EWGF and Crouch Dash guide. Really love how you emphasized holding the input on electric as you press A, that’s a game changer. Great job Riddles! 🙏👊🏼⚡️🏆

[@xenokiia]

Its EWGFmaa

[@LoyaltyRB_Art]

I love the videos man, godbless you. Thank you for the amazing tutorial man. Continue to grind 🐐

[@eyekahnzuya]

As a Kaz main myself, he gave the greatest simple explanation I have probably ever seen aside from Parz! Def take notes if you take interest in Kazuya y’all!

[@zurich316]

I really like the editor's work. Good job with your examples

[@terrantony2635]

I'm pretty sure the c-stick dash doesn't give you full s like the normal input dash cause its canceling into itself too quickly.

[@realchezboi]

Basically, since the regular crouch dash method is slower to perform, he's more likely to play the full dash out, which basically is crouched the entire time AND has upper body intangibility almost the entire time.

[@Supertacodonut]

Very apparent when he posted playing Tekken with TMM

[@macd-man3787]

I appreciate that he turns all the way around just to show us how to input

[@masoner789]

For anyone that’s struggling, press the attack button and just hold down ↘️ so basically ➡️⬇️↘️ A (hold ↘️)

[@Claykiez]

i found a better and consistent way to do electrics note that im a new player on the game but i have platform fighter notions because im from brawlhalla so the way i do electrics is kinda easy ( ➡️A⬇️↘️ ) depending of the side this is easier then pushing A when doing the down or down forward motion and will get you an electric everytime

[@blahhhhhhh1111]

Does anyone else have the problem where they always dragon uppercut and not wgf/ewgf

[@TheWanderingFreedom]

That was great tutorial video, I've been practicing the CDC for Kazuya and have that down for the most part. I still need to work on my electric. I have had success with the C-Stick input for Electric: Side input the hold Diagonal forward flick the stick at the same time thrn return it to neutral at the same time you press A brings the electric out. But it is a bit awkward to bring out while moving I just need to work on my og input XD

[@blayze_fgc]

1:54 I just figured out why kazuya does that. So basically everyone else that does the crouch dash input without having crouch dash does a dash walk. It’s more of a precise input so flicking the c stick is the preferred way. Since kazuya has the crouch dash input, him doing the dash walk with the c stick will result in a crouch dash because the game recognizes the c stick flick as doing the input with the analog stick. Just thought I should share that because I just found it out while in training mode. (Also I’m not the best at explaining things, so sorry if it’s hard to understand at first lol)

[@realchezboi]

The exact input for tilt stick crouch dash is: Forward, Forward+Down on Tilt-Stick, then Forward, then go to neutral if you want to immediately repeat that. Essentially, hold forward, but tap down (By hold, that just means any length of time 3 frames or longer)

[@realchezboi]

This works because the game recognises, Forward, Down, Forward as crouch dash too, rather than strictly being Forward, Down, Down-Forward. Since down on the Tilt-Stick is a macro, the game reads a down input from it.

[@Sickmmaner]

Just got the crouch dash because of this comment! Thank you!

[@sandycrash8868]

Man it’s videos like this that make him my favorite pro player and my most hated pro player he give tricks with actually video set ups and explains them at dabuz level but even better because he shows how to do the video and breaks them down step by step and not in a little yt short that feel like it’s incomplete and is saying go buy my coaching session ok so why Do I hate him online is now goign to be hell it’s like when he talked about kayuza up air that won him the big house I never seen kayuza do up air after that nothing but up air spammers. Get ready for a lot of kayuza now online lol

[@darkakiza8673]

im a shitty kazuya i see so many things saying its easy and yet i can only do the electric punch that sends them flying

[@StrawHatAura]

PLEASE READ: If you're having a hard time with electric, use your fingernail instead of your entire thumb on the A button. By that, I mean press down on A with your fingernail and then immediately slide it down off the button. I promise it works. Good luck lol

[@landronsc]

I knew about the dashwalking technique for wavedash, but i never could get it consistent but now that i know you have to hold and release the c stick during the left stick input, ill probably use that instead, because my movement was always garbage so thanks for uploading this. Very helpful

[@4BigGuysm]

No one tells you hold the down foward input

[@TrevorAugustine]

Try (down forward>down>down forward + A) INSTEAD of doing (forward>down>down forward +A). It's a little faster for me. Found it labbing.

[@zinkpopovitch9519]

Literally increased my ewgf success rate tenfold We don't deserve riddles

[@spackmoose6002]

Welp, I guess its finally time to practice my Kazuya. Thanks Riddler

[@Oz1455]

I find the input confusing to get down. You keep say saying to "hold" the analog stick, but I see you keep flicking it.

[@mickirules110]

What a considerate Kazuya God he is to give us this!!! I won't be half the player Riddles is but he makes playing Kazuya so much fun

[@The_unknown-gr6mc]

I guess he’s mad everyone is missing their inputs.

[@rupantarnirvor8132]

Everytime I try to wavedash i always end up doing wind god fist on the second crouch dash. Can someone tell me why I really need help with this movement its apparently easy after practice but i still cant seem to do it. Though I do have the Ferps tech and ewgf down pretty well (except when im facing the left that shit kills me)

[@realchezboi]

This happens because you have to cancel your first wavedash with a Forward input. I believe you are hitting tilt-stick down maybe a hair too early, and are thus hitting it DURING the first wavedash state, in which the game recognises it as an A button. Wavedash state plus A equals WInd God Fist.

[@realchezboi]

Make sure you hit forward before tilt-stick down.

[@Simplemente_porque_si]

The fact that his hands seem pretty shaky from those continuous combos he does with kazuya 😭

[@Joker-ev2vf]

Am I the only one who thinks smash Kazuya is the dumbed down version of Tekken kazuya Edit: I mean ewgf shouldn't be that easy right

[@That1Guy112]

It isn’t it’s a 1 frame window for Tekken I believe. They made the window bigger for kaz

What exactly is "a"? Because when im doing it im grabbing the enemy. I Changed my settings so what move should be on "a"

I still don’t understand the timing/difference of WGF and EWGF

[@Xbambushaudix]

Nothing of this shit is working i always do the downsmash when i want to do the crouch dash and i do the dragon uppercut when i want to do the wind god fist. Maybe i should stick to steve😅

I dont get it i always do it right buit it doesn't work. There also are some blue particles that dont show up in the video

Yea I See What you Mean I Have Trouble on The Left

[@EazzyRays]

Is this also possible with pro Controller? I dont Hit it even once yet...

[@duke4088]

See, this is what Sakurai intended to balance Kazuya. You basically have to spend months giving yourself bruises on your fingers and getting carpal tunnel to be able to do the things Riddles and Tea do seemingly effortlessly in a fucking tournament setting. It's why Kazuya isn't a pick up and play character like a Luigi, a wolf, a Steve or a ROB.

I have a problem to the nair, ¿Could someone explain me?

[@Ironsol-fu1pv]

[@bigdonutstudio]

Toilet thought 💭💭. Is this an effort to make Kaz tech more transparent to curb the possible Ban ( like in Texas ) from gaining steam? If Acola dropped a "how to beat Steve" I'll do a silly dance.
