[@haoyu53]

You'd think Tea is spamming EWGF, but the fourth EWGF is actually a mix up

[@eanderson9599]

the no-mixup mixup

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it

[@ROYBGP]

As said by ATP

[@NajarinPrime]

😂

[@veebop9638]

so is the seventh one, very inspiring

[@Gnarfledarf]

You can tell that Glutonny has practically mastered the Pac-Man matchup. It's incredible how many times he managed to catch the items. Too bad that Kazuya can lock you into an unskippable cutscene, though.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Has he really mastered it? He started the match with an almost zero-to-death, but it still ended up being really close in the end. One bell into forward smash and gluto would have lost.

[@Linkerputo]

3-0 Pacman now lol

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

My heart was beating so fast throughout the whole thing! I was not expecting Tea to use his kazuya instead of pacman against Glutonny, but it was ultimately the correct decision. Glutonny had clearly learned a lot about the pacman match-up, and switching to such a different character made that irrelevant.

[@shrimppasta4345]

Yeah the smart thing to do , fgc are warios worse mu

[@titaniumcommandrig]

It was still a last stock scenario with Pac-Man I think Tea could’ve have still won with solo Pac-Man. But yea with the kazuya bs makes sense for the switch.

[@eanderson9599]

I think Tea could’ve won with pac-man. Honestly I’m shocked at how badly Gluto did against the Kazuya

[@armakeen3576]

@@eanderson9599 Kazuya is a nightmarish match-up for Wario, what are you talking about ?

[@ohianaw]

@@eanderson9599 Wario struggles against Kazuya because he basically needs to land on Kazuya in order to do usual Wario stuff. You never wanna land on Kazuya because of EWGF. If the Kazuya knows how to execute ewgf it basically beats out all of Warios awrials and he will get hit. It also doesnt help that Wario lacks disjoints so getting a proper hit on Kazuya is difficult. However Kazuya is combo food for Wario. Its just a difficult matchup for Wario overall.

Bro you know who you're talking about right? I'm a huge Gluto fan but he plays Wario, that mf deserves to do some time for how many times he has been in the alleyway stealing games off of a single waft combo.

That is hoe Kazuya is. Just a trash carry character that csn kill in one interaction. Does it require mega skills to do? not really. You can clearly see TEA drops a lot of bread and butters when Riddles do not, yet Tea humilliated Riddles in a ditto and beat gluto by just mashing out.

I've mained pac man for 2 years and I'll tell you first hand he is probably just as cheesy as kazuya.

[@survivorofthecurse717]

At a high enough level, almost anyone is cheesy. I mean, Waftio is obvious enough. Also, for those that didn't know, waft was techable in the first game because he teched the hitbox of Wario rising, not the waft itself

@@eanderson9599 Yeah its hard to judge these types of characters in smash. I kinda wish they just didnt include them.

[@Amaling]

Feels more and more like Kazuya just shits on any character in the game who doesn't have camping options. Stuff like Cloud, Young Link, Lucina, ZSS, Palu who have strong to excellent space control while being way faster than him seem to be the way to go. It's not like Wario is a bad character, not in the slightest, but his strengths just don't work against Mr. Mishima, who feels like besides Wario's air speed just minmaxes whatever Wario is good at

I get Kazuya's supposed to be the FGC glass cannon, but notice how Gluttony even had to respect Kaz offstage, which should be Kaz's little mac moment. An actual glass cannon should have a disadvantage on par with his advantage, like Hikaru's DK or Elegant's Luigi.

He has a hitbox on his recovery so its hard to hit him on his way up without potentially trading, can stall with his devil laser to mix up, side b to mix horizontal, a very high second jump so he can safely drop low and just Up B. It’s honestly very good and add that he’s heavy so he can tank a lot

Man kazuya seems op. Heavy = hard to kill, seemingly absurd recovery = even harder to kill, but only needs to hit you once with seemingly incontestable priority to paralyze you to death with seemingly unavoidable combos. The guy seems unkillable but only needs to hit once to kill and doesn't even seem to struggle that much to get that 1 initial hit... He doesn't even seem that slow, in mouvement, attack animation and hitlag to compensate. Maybe it's just a counter but man that seemed unfair.
