It's actually kinda nuts that Riddles not only went Terry with this, but did as well as he did. I remember back during Summit he was thinking of dropping Terry, and gave people like Kola SDI'ing out of all his confirms as one of the reasons he was done with the character. This is a really impressive set, as you can see Kola still putting in the work and getting out of a ton of confirms, but Riddles still managed to adapt really well and find different ways to get his damage and kills in. Big fan of both players but it was hard not to root for Riddles here.
I was on his stream the other day and someone asked if he’d ever go terry again and he literally said “nah there’s no point. Plus terry is kinda boring”, or something along those lines. So it’s crazy to see him use him here.
When I heard that he was dropping Terry I was hurt bc his Terry is mf godlike. I still think his Terry is better than his Kazuya lol he got confirms out the yin yag
I audibly said "uh oh" as soon as Riddles got that landing nair at the end. Terry might not have Kazuya's touch of death combos but he still has some highway robbery confirms lmao
@@DXRKMDE01 Bruh. You read the comments before you had anything to contribute. Spoiled yourself. Don't come down here until you've watch from second 1 to the last. Umk? Umk.
Jesus, Kola got suddenly such a huge momentum at 7:21 that i thought he would make it back. What a beast. Great feature from Riddles for getting the 3-0 against him !
It's funny to think that Terry is conspicuously absent from the upper echelon of play when Riddles isn't the one on the sticks, and that's rare for a character as good as Terry. There are no other Terrys making headlines like he is, and he comes back after a hiatus and still bodies fools like he never left
Really glad to see Terry again, Riddles also changes his Terry's playstyle a lot. More unpredictable moves are used and also harder for opponents to read.
Great job by riddles, if he figures out how he should dual main terry and kazuya and figures out his mental game he’s gonna be able to make more upsets like this
I actually think kola and riddles are very similar in mindset and play style. They can get the nuttiest shit on you and have great advantage but also can get destroyed if the game isn’t going their way or don’t have momentum
Riddles typically relies on his character's gimmick to win. GO is much more spammable than whatever the tekken rage thing is called that Kazuya has. GO was a better option against a player who's super aggro like Kola.
Quite the opposite really. Riddles does not have a high opinion of Kazuya. He finds Kazuya exhausting to play, not to mention he struggles in many matchups with some he can't do anything in.
DI is so stupid dude, kola can literally just not get hit by power dunk anytime he combos into it. If DI weren’t a thing in smash bros this game would be a lot more consistent.
That's the point. It adds counterplay. That's what makes smash different. If you want those kind of combos play KoF, Street Fighter or Tekken. You really think you should get free combos in smash cuz you touched the button? Part of the game is reading and tracking DI. Like it or don't, but its in the game and there's counterplay.
@@direwolf8093 that’s a weak counter argument, you might as well be saying “if you wanna play an actual good competitive game then don’t play smash”. Calling inconsistent bread and butter combos “part of the game” just sounds like copium, it shouldn’t be part of the game, it’s ridiculous. You shouldn’t call it “counter play”, because what you’re actually doing is understanding this game is a mess and preparing for something stupid to happen, you aren’t adapting you’re memorizing a mine field, that’s bad fighting game design.
@@SquidwardProfilePic Dont be salty because you're bad and don't understand mechanics that have existed for 20 years. Get it or don't. Complaining about DI is the most noob shit I've ever heard.
@@direwolf8093 that’s because you’re a fanboy and you aren’t actually paying attention to what I’m saying. Inconsistency in a competitive game is bad, smash is an inconsistent game, therefore smash isn’t a good competitive game. It’s one of the best party games ever made, and the inconsistency is excusable in that context, but the fact that people actually play this game for a living is sad. Imagine being able to fall out of a combo for no good reason in tekken, or in rocket league if you hit the ball one way and it goes the complete opposite way, or you can just stand up after getting a kill flash in marvel, the shit that goes down in smash would not slide in any other game, but y’all are such fanboys you play it anyway.
Prediction before I watch. Kola is way too aggro to play against someone who gets carried by their characters OP gimmicks. Kola will probably probably fucked sideways by GO.
@@lokks2130 yeah unlike roy who basically does no dmg on his hits amirite? >_> you should probably just pick up terry and go pro then i guess since he's so braindead.

Nice
Riddles down 2.5 stocks last game and I see the video length I'm like "THERE'S NO WAY."
It's why I love this game
I didn't know Vars followed the Smash scene.
Lol
@@justinyeung6478 who is Vars?
I audibly said "uh oh" as soon as Riddles got that landing nair at the end. Terry might not have Kazuya's touch of death combos but he still has some highway robbery confirms lmao
ppl forget that Terry's buster wolf/power geyser combos were the og touch of death combos
2 neutral wins and he was dead that was sick
Shutup milk
@@dlayed9903 2? That was just one
Cheese. He has alot of cheese.
I love the tag for riddles
Main: Kazuya
Secondaries: None
*Played terry the whole set*
As a guy who loved all of Riddles mains at some point, this phase is low-key exciting
I've been missing the Terry, man
Be quiet bro
@@tahatv5269 lmao what?
@@fgcbird sssshh the movie is starting 🍿
Lowkey dead ass on god no cap i forgor 💀 shut up bro
Riddles is the reason I love playing Terry. Btw, that last game was nuts!
I'm so beyond thrilled Riddles won this, and is using Terry
Bruh you spoiled it
@@DXRKMDE01 Bruh. You read the comments before you had anything to contribute. Spoiled yourself. Don't come down here until you've watch from second 1 to the last. Umk? Umk.
Idc anymore still a cool set.
Riddles went crazy this set
That last stock of game 3 was nasty.
Jesus, Kola got suddenly such a huge momentum at 7:21 that i thought he would make it back. What a beast. Great feature from Riddles for getting the 3-0 against him !
As a terry main I am beyond happy seeing riddles win this with terry. Good shit

Because nobody wants to play Terry
Heaps of characters like that. Pika only got esam, byleth and mkleo (if you consider byleth high tier), wario and gluttony, e.t.c
There are alot of characters with representation like this. Not just Terry
This is so hype - haven't seen Riddles' Terry in so oooo long 0 so damn goood!! Those goooo moves gooo!
that last stock was just 5 hits god damn
He literally lost a whole stock in two interactions 😭
@@heyhi7415 swordies are seriously overrated.
@@Turnpost2552 how if there one of the best characters in smash.

I love watching Riddles Kazuya but man did I miss this Terry.
that reverse 3 stock though.
offtopic but can i ask why you’re “azure moon” and have a profile pic of claude
@@timjim7163 That's the point.
@@azuremoon4372 but then who do you actually support between BL and GD
both?
@@timjim7163 I love claude more than anything, but azure moon is the best route.
7:20 the fact that he got this off of a downthrow 💀 Kolas insane
That last stock by Riddles in G2 was a 0-to-death lol
Terry has some of the meatiest, juiciest feeling strikes in the game. Even just his jab feels like h e c k s t e a k.
Let's go Riddles, for the Terry gang I'm so happy to see it again.
i am so happy to see riddles playing terry again
Ah.. a good day indeed, to be a day-1 Terry main
Great job by riddles, if he figures out how he should dual main terry and kazuya and figures out his mental game he’s gonna be able to make more upsets like this

Riddles makes me want to play FGC’s every time I watch him.
That last match was so damn ' sick!!
THE TERRY IS IN THE HOUSE!!!
Nasty stuff from riddles! Hope he continues using Terry as well as Kazuya
Imma be honest i went to skip through that last game because i knew kola had it but then i saw the video length
lol he never had it in this mu.
Dam las 20 secs of the video were crasy good love riddles
Epic perfect final
8:44 is definitely gonna be on yeet smash lmao riddles was going off lets goo
Yo Terry coming back??
I enjoy watching Riddles SO MUCH!
ee knew shit went down after the last game lollllll
Lol Riddles had no secondaries listed
So why is Riddles using Terry so much?
I was thinking he was going all Kazuya for the future!
His opinion on Kazuya has honestly been slowly deteriorating
As long as he wins his sets it doesn’t matter uses.
Terry is his true main. His Kazuya is still not fully optimized yet
Riddles typically relies on his character's gimmick to win. GO is much more spammable than whatever the tekken rage thing is called that Kazuya has. GO was a better option against a player who's super aggro like Kola.
@@shikarixox1195 Regardless of a characters attributes, what’s important is how a player composes themself during the set.
Kola with the heat on him
My 2 favorite players
Terry is so hype great job riddles
What was that last stock, damn Riddles is still the world best Terry
8:43 Two-Touched by Terry 😂😨💥
That last game last stock Kola only got hit 5 times..
Love Terry
He should just stick with Kazuya, Terry and Richter. Those should be his characters and he picks completely based off of the MUs.
Lets go RIDDLES!!!!
Kola really pulled in the 4s, the drippp
THAT REVERSE 3 STOCK LMAOOOOO
It's kind of strange for me watching this fight because I main both of these characters. Idk who to root for.
Good to see Riddles playing Terry again, I suppose he got bored of winning too easily with Kazuya
Quite the opposite really. Riddles does not have a high opinion of Kazuya. He finds Kazuya exhausting to play, not to mention he struggles in many matchups with some he can't do anything in.
GG
Dr.Umar strategy 😂
How the fuck did Kola lose that game 3. Riddles clutched the shit out that match.
Either way this mu is fucking hype.
No way it ends like that
Holy shit riddles brought out the terry
Riddles mustve seen the marrs tier list
やっぱriddlesにはテリーで行って欲しい
wow
THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY :O
why didn't this knock kola into loosers?
DLC 😌
Sorry but the framerate makes this unwatchable
Terry is some bullshit. riddles played well , but why did Lola die at 50 to landing nair in the corner
Damn, terry is cool
Go Riddles!!!!
GO GO TERRY GO GO TERRY GO GO TERRY
Riddles will be the best player in the world
Kola was salty 😂
*RIDDLES TERRY!!*
Ah terry is so cool, shame the meta has dropped him
not really, hitstun and free smash ruins the game.
I like seeing his Kazuya more
Bodied
