The patience on Riddles... I would just mental crack if I had to play that.

[@bananagram8495]

ayo you watch smash, that’s awesome. love your vids!!

[@antmck99]

I agreed

[@shadowstar2194]

Ayyyy, it's Vars. I remember you mentioning Smash stuff in your videos before to make comparisons. Cool to see you around in the comp scene even just as a viewer.

[@StrongArmElijah]

Dabuz is such a great player and very good at zoning out his opponent. But damn it is so boring to watch rushdown vs zoners as good as dabuz. Would love to watch him go against T3 Dom's Richter.

[@jayjaysheroah2485]

Yeah dabuz was spamming arms

[@bluerexplaysgames722]

Riddles' Terry in 2021 is still hype

[@shiekastate]

Nothing against Dabuz, but I absolutely despise MinMin and was hoping he lost miserably.

[@Daniel-uy1sv]

@Wyvern . Yeah but one actually lets you play the game and doesnt invalidate half the cast

[@johnnybravosrightnut5117]

@Wyvern . look I’m no masahiro Sakurai but if you’re comparing a technical character using unique inputs and skill based conversions who has trouble getting in and to balance that has a mechanic that uses longer inputs to a character that runs away and hits left a left b over and over then we not playing the same game

[@vunhatminh1692]

Terry and the fgc characters in this game are the only group with special inputs, most of the cast in this game only press either A or B with a direction so your argument is lacking there. And the fgc characters may have trouble getting in but when they do get in they hit really hard, its just part of their archetype. Same as Min Min who is a zoner, hit and run is part of her gameplan because she doesn't have much moves to throw out in close range that is fast or safe. I don't understand people complaining about zoners when they have obvious flaws.

[@mikeshockinggentspence8714]

@@johnnybravosrightnut5117 “technical character” “skill based conversions” please anything a Terry does is considered the very basics in any traditional FG. His gameplay is fairly linear and his follow ups pretty consistent. He’s like a mid level difficulty character to play

[@wolfkiller4]

@Wyvern . also crappy recovery and not many options in the air

[@luckygonzalez9377]

I'm AMAZED Riddles managed to win this, he had to work so hard, Dabuz was playing SO safe. Popped off when Riddles won, super nice job

[@Silverwing36]

I love watching riddles play he’s just amazing, sad he’s not playing as much kazuya this tourney

[@harvesterman5210]

honestly i prefer his terry. The shit he can do is so cool while still being able to keep control of the game better than kazuya

[@gabrielemmanuelli3375]

His Terry is amazing as well. I feel terry does way better against min-min than kazuya. He has been using Kazuya but it's smart to use Terry if Kazuya does terrible in a matchup. It's awesome that Riddles has been seeing success with both though.

[@theimpersonator7086]

I hope we can see more of his Kazuya, although it’s understandable why he didn’t go to Kazuya vs Min Min, as Riddles thinks that’s a borderline unwinnable matchup for Kazuya

[@willycheez7218]

He went Terry here because he's faster than he needs to be so he does better against Min Min

[@mysteriousmuffin6017]

Kazuya vs Min Min is unwinnable according to Riddles.

[@ramirolosadamedina7843]

Riddles is absolutely crazy. Hope we see more of his Terry in the future.

[@Knucklebreaking]

Riddles using his secondaries is paying off EXTREMELY well

[@HonkeyHustleDDC]

According to the player card, he has no secondaries 🤦‍♂️

On the inside I was rooting for Riddles. That fight looked painful, MinMin is so damn campy and hard to approach

[@guniohhashi8219]

Nothing on Dabuz, it’s just Min Min feels so… boring… I know it’s just what he chooses and that’s how he chooses to play and that’s respectable. We as viewers can’t say “you have to play X character because Y character is too boring”… but man, I just get sad whenever I watch Min Min and see that the developers actually thought it was ok to add moves that cover the whole stage for little to no effort. (At least Samus needs to charger her shots, etc.)

[@shaun10767]

Thats what zoners are incredibly boring keep away characters and ill never understand why they were made. They are boring and annoying and ur just blocking or evading a majority of the time

[@monferaigne5061]

couldn't agree more. Dabuz is so fcking boring.

[@王国の涙]

21:29 This interaction just seems so funny to me

[@uffersqba516]

Give this man medal right away for his patience

[@musicdev]

It takes a LOT of patience to get through Dabuz’s defensive play, major props to Riddles for being able to handle that. I definitely get way too impatient in those situations

[@ZSimm2]

Happy 2 year anniversary to Terry’s Release (November 6th 2019)

[@philp3786]

Honestly, watching Dabuz jump up and down in his seat out of stress made me feel so much better, because watching his min-min was infuriating

[@blazer6972]

I would kill to have patience like riddles. God watching that minmin vs terry match up was a night mare. Extra points to riddles man. He deserves it.

13:03 Did Riddles decide to go easy on him?

[@brocksaus9057]

What is the paper they always look at in between matches

[@DeemerAV]

it's the stage list

[@oughtopilot]

Stagelist bans I believe.

[@blueheart9873]

The book of their opponent's minds. So that they can get better reads

[@LucianTheFak]

I believe it's the stage list, since the winner has to ban stages and the loser has to pick one that's not banned. So it's probably a reminder.

[@connormichaluk5514]

Dabuz is so cool! He plays the most interesting and hype characters (this is a joke)

[@givemeoats]

This match up looks like a nightmare for any FGC.

[@TheQueensAce719]

I don't hate Dabuz but holy shit Min Min is so lame. Zoners in general are lame af but Min Min is definitely the cream of the crop.

[@stormRed]

Dabuz' usage of double jumps never ceases to impress me.

[@pancrasio08]

Good to see Terry'S Riddles back to Action

[@TimBartja]

Great show from both players! I know I'm not in the vocal majority, but I actually really enjoy watching Min Min matches. Yeah, her advantage is super good, but her disadvantage is super bad. Going against in-your-face fighters like Terry isn't easy either, and while I give full credit to Riddles's patience and amazing recoveries, gotta give credit to Dabuz for dealing with the pressure once he got in, which happened a fair bit in that set!

[@vlinful]

Interesting point of view can you explain why going against in face characters is such a huge disadvantage for min min? Because I thought she could just keep them back easily

[@Josh2Play]

the comentators are making me cringe everytime i see a missed input on riddles part and the guy is like "oh yeah questionable choice of using power geyser in the middle of the stage, i don't know what riddles is thinking" like c'mon my guy

La forma que jugo Dabuz debió ser así cuando le tocó contra Leo, tan solo ve esos edgeguard, esa forma perra de defenderse al máximo, y sin olvidar el escapar y estar presionando en todo momento el escudo del contrario. Espero que si juegan nuevamente Leo y Dabuz, el suba la expectativa y rompa a Joker hay con que, por parte de Leo sigo esperando lo mismo de siempre, ósea, que haga jugadas super fumadas y no pierda, a esperar no queda de otra.

[@niver-5068]

@RANITA4G en efecto, Riddles le ganó en su propio juego, esos parries al final aún con el escenario en contra funcionó. Yo sigo creyendo en que Dabuz puede sacar más para usar a MinMin, la cuestión es adaptación, aunque igual son pocos jugadores de nivel que pueden jugar pacientes el mismo juego o ganarle.

minmin so hard to play against 😭 she boxes so well. even when i play joker (someone i just picked up this year), its very polarizing from a somewhat close-long range to approach 🤣. i know you cant out-box minmin, and with ramram you cant really approach high... do i just need to master parrying? i can do that

[@daygarcia4390]

I'm curious if Dabuz intentionally picks the most non-commital easy to use characters for reasons other than for competition.

[@kylewood4488-b9r]

He has used characters like Olimar, Rosalina and Luma in the past. Both characters that use separate hitbox type moves with the Pikmin and Luma. As for Min Min its identical to that too because her Arms don't have hurt boxes that affect the main character so it's like a separate hitbox too. I guess that it's just natural for him to use campy spacers.

[@elh6295]

I'm sorry, but I just don't think it's that skillfully played by Dabuz, I mean yeah he's good, but it just doesn't seem on the same level. He just looks carried by Min Min all the time.
