Nothing is more satisfying then seeing a wolf not sure how to approach a match up

[@thatdude3977]

Spamming jump in forward air lmfao

[@Dellennickolis95]

Honestly characters like Wolf, Ike, Cloud, and Joker are the exact reason airiel hurt boxes /lagless landing need to be nerfed in the game. Movement freedom is important but There should to be a threat of constantly jumping as an approach/fleeing option.

[@ellachino4799]

​@@Dellennickolis95 dawg I'm having a stroke trying to understand this

[@knox7945]

Did we just witness a Ridley winning grand finals!?

[@sev-n]

He deserves it.

[@dragonduke5872]

Ridley is often slept on but I as a Ridley main assure you he is a quality character that requires a decent amount of skill to use effectively.

[@davidchildress4378]

"Jackal hasn't dropped a game tonight" this my friends is the commentators curse

[@TurnedOwl-]

Amazing play with Ridley, Jackal is a high level player so goes to show how much skill Smub has to be able to win that

[@calebw8189]

High level player is an understatement. He's definitely a top level player*. He has beaten Light, Chag, Zomba, Marss and Tweek. Something like Top 50.

[@Portal2Fan1234]

As I've said ridley is op

[@guilehua9675]

M Mm

[@Spyder-Marth]

The rise of underrated characters in Ultimate is amazing. I can't wait to see what else is in store. Maybe we'll see an Isabelle win a major lol.

[@freddiesimmons1394]

Never dat

[@Jaybaar]

Who's gunna tell him?

[@nickolaibrosky]

Honestly insanely impressive by smub to be able to take this over jakal. Def the best Ridley I’ve ever seen

[@calebw8189]

NaiR^ is definitely the best Ridley player result-wise, but this guy was sick too.

[@5inistermm_109]

ya no Nair^ is still better… this guy has beaten teaser tho.. hes nice

[@WrathofArchon]

@@calebw8189 NaiR^, Mezcaul, Smub, and Creepooba are all fantastic ridleys, though NaiR^ and Mezcaul still the best 2

[@HyperFreak89]

@@WrathofArchon even thou he's an online warrior, I think Vreyvus is the best Ridley in the world. But yeah, NaiR def the best right now.

[@WrathofArchon]

@@HyperFreak89 Vreyvus just hasn’t competed in a while so I kinda forgot about him xD, but he’s also really good

[@aceofblades1677]

Ridley vs Sephiroth. God, I love this game.

[@freddiesimmons1394]

The fact that a Ridley pulled this off is serious evidence that this game is fucking beautiful

[@Mr.Andy38]

As much as I like Jackal's Wolf, seeing a Ridley win Grands is amazing! Never thought I'd see the day, congrats Smub!

[@williambudrow9508]

Doesn't creepooba hit grands against dexter like almost weekly tho?

[@dakotad70]

Yay Ridley!!! Go Ridley!! The most underrated character in the game!! Ridley is good in SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE!!!!

[@wilburforce8046]

Ridely ain’t that good but ridely players are cracked. The underdog experience.

[@echospace7347]

@@wilburforce8046 he is that good he has very good tools

[@wilburforce8046]

@@echospace7347 no he doesn’t lol his weaknesses are so easily exploited and he needs heavy reads to get any kills. Only fatty with low weight and kill power. Ridely players Gotta fight an uphill battle against most decent players. Anyone with a projectile dogs on him cause he’s got zero super armor options unlike say K rool. Seph is a hard counter, Ridely had to play significantly better to take the dub.

[@buffmywifi3839]

ridley is a mid tier but he is really cool

[@jorgeabaezp9365]

smub is a hidden boss... he won over dexter, Zd and jakal.. jakal is in the talks for the best wolf in the world and even makes light and tweek sweat... that's how good smub has gotten being able to beat a top level wolf is not a small feat. props to smub and the rest of the players. great games. a lot of nail biters

[@Im0nJupiter]

If smub decides to play a swordie, it's over for all of us

[@wilburforce8046]

As a Ridely main this is so inspiring.

[@TheSnakeYouCanTrust]

Sick run by smub

[@frozenfresh6406]

I love how many matchups their are in this. I was just watching Lucas vs Plant, now i'm watching ridley vs wolf.

[@andrewtaylor5883]

Ridley's Ftilt is a hidden gem.

[@anigodzapex9384]

It's sadly not as Disjointet. Because he holds his Tail like a Pike. Wich makes it not to good. But it's decently Quick, has good Reach, deals good Damage on sweetspot and can be angled to swat at foes and 2 Frame. It's really damn good beside that one Weakness Wich you have to consider a lot on a poking tool to deal Safe Damage.

[@cameronmele2989]

STAB

[@anigodzapex9384]

@crystalblade13 it is, but not as much. And the sours pot also deals really lacking damage. The move is really good, but had downsides

[@knucklessg1]

@@anigodzapex9384 You mixed it up with dtilt.

[@anigodzapex9384]

@@knucklessg1 dtilt, is a highly disjointed downwards sweep, with massive range, and decent combo potential. It can 2 Frame on hurtbox shifted characters. Dont assume i mix it up, while you are mixing it up yourself. Ftilt is not the Godlike Move, many Ridley players give it credit for. The Massive Coverage, high Damage, Frame 12 Out of Shield Up Smash for Platform Catches is a better Move in my Opinion. Nairs Coverage and back hit Combo potential is also a better Move then F Tilt. The Belmonts and Sephiroths Ftilt are the amazing spacing move, wich Ridley isnt, because of his immense Hurtbox.

[@deadzipper1777]

Ridley winning. Love to see it

[@king_fresh27]

can we all just take a second to appreciate that ridley is actually in smash?

[@duke0salt717]

Ridley F tilt is sooooo strong smub is spacing perfectly

[@dexie135]

Ridley, Seph, Wolf...such a darkness squat right there

[@ansemthetrueseekerofdarkne2730]

"Those chosen by the planet."

[@Oh2x]

13:01 "don't say anything racist, don't say anything racist"

[@wilburforce8046]

I thought he was talking about ridely lol

[@Heartache2491]

Ridley winning makes me happy :3

[@ohianaw]

Kinda sad that Ridley was forgotten as the game progressed. Always nice seeing a badass space dragon beat the shit out of everybody

[@Tacticalsniper32]

13:23 that pivot grab was inspirational

[@knucklessg1]

As a Ridley main. I am truly impressed by his level of optimized Ridley. I learned so much from watching his gameplay.

[@globabee.]

ggs to smub, wanted to see more seph from jackal.

[@pb0o6]

I played smub for like an hour in friendlies and couldn't get off the ledge the whole time. Glad to know he can do that to top players too.

[@lunanasushistax6692]

Wolf damage percent might be consistently 120 but jakal's tilt meter is 2 million

[@tangentyes3323]

I don’t think Jakal got very tilted. Or I should probably say I don’t think they really showed it

[@MarcelE80]

This was so hype! LET'S GO RIDLEY/SMUB

[@buffmywifi3839]

using ridley downair in grand finals is such an alpha move lmfao

[@davidn90]

It's crazy to see even at a competitive level, they still land right on top of ridley's up smash.

[@robsquare2622]

why didnt jackal go for the ftilt 2 frame ? does it not hit ridley across the upb disjoint ?

[@junipermoss4537]

you could hear a palpable pause after that commentator called smub "a scary lookin dude." like, what a thing to say. yea man, it's his eyes, okay.

[@lordmew5]

Lol i heard that too but i honestly don't think it meant anything

[@chalybee8689]

Commentator: Ridley's triple fair is not real, it can't hurt you! Ridley's triple fair:

[@scaratlas3347]

omg snub is awesome. I'm so happy as a ridley main

[@Geozone117]

Always said everyone is Sleeping on Ridley.

[@virtuallybeige5597]

The gasping commentator sounded like the in-game sound-effect when someone is offstage

[@eggnogsaber]

Smub single-handedly evolves Riddley in one tournament

[@tonytony3685]

Lets Go!!!

[@zachkurdi3178]

guys I have no idea what happens between round, why does smub stands up and then sits back down

[@daserfomalhaut9809]

Why does the wiki say Smub got 13th?

[@zachkurdi3178]

"smub is a scary looking guy... hmmmm I mean look at his eyes" nice save

[@Evixyn]

The reverse sweep with ridley is amazing. I do not understand why wolf kept jumping in on ridley where ridley has many anti air moves why both grounded and in the air.

[@achunkeymonkey]

ridley’s ledge trapping

[@xxvolcomxx56]

we get it smug. you can wave dash onto the platform

[@RicozGaming4]

Damn. Make me want to play Ridley now lmao

[@DesensitizedMuffin]

Smub goin crazy in his seat.

[@ansemthetrueseekerofdarkne2730]

Its good to see some more villain representation here.

[@trinalzz]

Smub is a savage but he needs to work on his handshake game tho

[@mithermage]

lolol

[@DoctorOctaviousHarm]

Smubs showing ridleys true potential, and I love it!

[@Pwnagotchi-0]

This gives me hope to main with Ridley

[@bigtoblerone8446]

8:02 proof of what not respecting the blue flare can do to you. Make no mistake that Ridley is an amazing player, and Jakal through out that blue flare extra late (you can throw it out as early as frame 50) More Seph's should use it. Tweek got Muteace with it. And MuteAce beat Spargo's Cloud.

[@echospace7347]

Ridley is a player?!😂😂😂

[@henrylove4916]

How much money smub win?

[@urielleyva3736]

[@AB-ed2be]

Huge in the beginning of the game. People forgot how good he can be.

[@scaratlas3347]

Smub is also a very good player. Seph is such a hard mu to overcome. What a fucking beast

[@LC-wv7tz]

I don't know. I love Ridley, but the character has so many massive weaknesses. He's my main, but it seemed like Jackal was way off. He just was not playing his best and clearly does not know the matchup very well. Ridley Wolf is probably even, maybe slightly in Wolf's Favor. Wolf is gimpable, something Ridley excels at, but Wolf has SUCH better air speed, attack options are so much faster and generally harder to punish and Ridley gets juggled by everyone, not least of all a comboer like Wolf.

[@scaratlas3347]

@@LC-wv7tz I don't know because to me it just seemed like he outplayed jackel to me his movement was really good. All of his options were honestly optimal and his neutral was on point.

[@dripfoe_3307]

I remember this clown named "Arrayz" perhaps y'all heard of him, a twit with the Dunning Kruger effect trying to convince me that wolf flash is a 50/50 and because of this you can't gimp good wolf players. The first 2 matches was Wolf getting gimped left to right lmfaoooo.

[@sonicloud7774]

Smub is godlike. Nothing else to say.

[@jordantome5598]

Since a miracle is done by a persons faith, I'm not sure a "sham hug" or a fake prayer being used for a control group would disqualify a miracle. I don't think a miracle relies so much on the specific prayer but rather from the faith in God of the person believing it.

[@godmode3611]

Your match up charts mean nothing. Ridley is underrated 🤪
