13:04 Alright, let’s break down everything wrong with this *Leon* whiffs a full hop Side B, while *Riddles* rolls in and then dashes back *Leon* Up Smashes a ghost, then *Riddles* does a D-tilt into dash forward Buster Wolf onto shield, then *Leon* F-smashes the other way, while *Riddles* is spotdodging and then runs up to pressure shield *Leon* does Up B out of parry and trades with Crack Shoot for the ugliest angle, then A normal B-air, then *Riddles* tries to grab but trades with Whirling Fortress, then *Leon* Side B’s the wrong way *Riddles* D-tilts but gets his F-tilt airdodged but still does Power Dunk on whiff, then *Leon* does a landing Side-B, but *Riddles* spot dodge attacks it, then does Up Air>Rising Tackle, but moves don’t work the end gg

Leon’s fire breath misinput game 1 and Riddles’ up B SD game 2 were already telling signs that both players were experiencing janky inputs with the connection. That in mind, the sh*t fest sequence at 13:03 is understandable and just hilarious to watch 😂

[@shikarixox1195]

The combos Terry and the other shotos don't extend past a certain point for any character. He wouldn't be doing any less against someone smaller than he does Bowser, so Bowsers big body in this case is a disadvantage to Terry, he lives an extra 40-100% longer than everyone else

[@felix-antoinechalifoux6907]

Most bowser players seem to think the matchup is even or better for him and Leon has the shotos at +2 on his. Don’t take matchups at face value, especially from something so theoretical as “he has good combos”. These combos are quite special and don’t apply the same

[@JosephStJules]

13:03 is the most confusing sequence of events ever

[@faded9581]

How? Leon tries to fake Riddles out by scaring him with the threat of an up air to force him onto the platform where he would command grab him, but guesses incorrectly as Riddles drifts in the opposite direction. Upon landing they both preemptively pick options that are meant to evade their respective burst counterattacks. Leon up smashes because he presumably assumes Riddles will attempt to nair on top of him and start a combo whereas Riddles thinks Leon will rush at him and attempts to roll so he can punish whatever dash option he thinks Leon would have chosen. Because Riddles’s roll has less endlag than Leon’s up smash, he was able to react and reassess the situation first, and attempted to apply shield pressure and get a confirm while Leon was still in endlag. He d tilts once, and I’m not sure why he didn’t go for the typical shield pressure jab dtilt mixups that would have either hit, shield poked, or shield broken leon, but he must have panicked after his fluke and goes for a nuclear option, Buster Wolf, out of anxiety. Leon, likely being unfamiliar with the mechanics of and frame dat buster wolf on shield(it’s incredibly laggy against shield, Bowser definitely can fsmash) , likely thought that either it had little endlag and he’d have to punish the option after the move, which he assumed to be roll, or he thought it would cross him up.

This is just online in a nutshell. You can see where the input delay screwed both them over (Leon flubbing a kill game 1 and Riddles straight up just not recovering game 2)

[@junoa117]

Riddles played neutral too impatiently with unsafe moves on shield and got up B'd almost every time. He had some good safe shield pressure moments early in the match, but seemed to forget that and tried to increase the tempo of the game while Bowser is always content to just sit in shield and let you mess up.

It hurts to see even high level players make mistakes against Bowser... Leon's got the sauce to back it up, but he does not hesitate to consistently punish his opponents wih Up B/Side B

[@shikarixox1195]

Leon is the smartest side special user I've ever seen, he's so good at mixing it up between aerials and that to catch them off guard. Most other bowser either spam side b a lot or barely use it unless you badly whiff an attack on them.

[@colbyclay5911]

Cant knock Leon because he’s a great player but I usually don’t enjoy watching sets he wins. Nothing against him but winning bowser is often what you said: up special oos and side b constantly to punish over shielding or mix up pressure. Not fun to watch. But the sets he loses tend to be more interesting just because bowser is so easy to combo, top players can do wild stuff against him

[@lorenzlettner3771]

Why was riddles playing so desperately agressive? He gave up stage controll so often and even dies for it a bunch...
