Seeing this match as an Incin main was a delight! So many insane plays from Skyjay in this match! Kinda heartbroken that he lost, but a great match nonetheless. Mad respect to Riddles too for winning under the pressure.

This was so entertaining. I haven't seen ultimate this good in forever

you know it’s gonna be a sick af set if its only 12 minutes long but goes to game 5

Insane grand finals. Brief but intense. Stocks “were” flying. Super explosive.

I went into this knowing it's a 20-something minute video and I still braced myself for a bracket reset halfway through game 5 somehow. Absolute insanity from SkyJay, even against Riddles' efficient brutality

Skyjay is SO explosive right out the gate. Huge props to him; incredible run.

How is someone this good, almost getting the bracket reset with INCINEROAR against KAZUYA. Skyjay is insane

Absolutely one of the best grands I’ve ever seen. Skyjay should feel incredibly proud of himself

Skyjay did so well this tournament. He was so close!

This is one of the most entertaining sets of Smash I have ever seen. They went back and forth with each other. The only thing is that I wish Skyjay won the first set just so we could get a reset to keep the excitement going. The stuff he pulls off with Incineroar is insane. I cannot wait to see more from him. GG to both players!

This is probably the first Grand Finals I’ve watched fully. I only watch bits and pieces of competitive Smash Bros vods, but this one stood out a LOT. Both played great and huge respect towards both of them! Making it that far with a character like Incineroar isn’t easy, but Skyjay showed it’s possible!

I love when the announcers get so hyped they can barely call the match. That was basically the entire set.

I’ve never been more nervous during a set, I’m a big Riddles fan but Skyjay played insanely well

Man, this is one of the most stressful looking grands ive ever seen, stocks were made of glass. Well done by both, fenomenal stuff.

It's hysterical how as the set progressed their interactions turned into touch to stock combos

Not sure if I should be critical given the current state of Smash. I am very happy tournaments like this are still being put on; I didn't think the coverage was good at all though. No coverage of Kurama, Quidd, etc on final day. So many great matches not covered; and no live watchback/video available for day 3 on the Collosal-twitch stream. It felt like top 64 just began, a few matches were streamed, then it was all over before it had even begun. Maybe start the singles bracket on friday, in order to be able to cover more matches?

One of the hardest fought and well deserved victories I've ever seen. Instant classic set.

Skyjays run in this tourney might be the greatest run in Smash Ultimate ever

My heart was pounding when skyjay dominated that second set. That was ridiculously close and it just seemed like skyjay had it completely in the bag. I could see how Riddles took a moment to clear his mind and focus on defense on that last stock. Such a close match

I’ve been binging so many smash vids and this is my favorite

6:00 F' OFF MY STAGE!

Honestly I never expected Skyjay vs Riddles would be one of the best set I've watch ! Sorry for doubting you Skyjay, you're an absolute mad cat.

This was amazing!!! What a grand finals they both played out of there mind. And dude made it far

Absolutely wild. Props to both players.

Absolute madness of a set! Skyway what an inspiration 👏👏👏

I never realized how hype Incineroar was. It's like watching Cpt. Falcon in Melee.

As an Incineroar main, this was exciting to watch. Love watching all the heavys fight: Dedede, DK, Bowser, Ganon, Incineroar, King K, also Plant & Kazuya are the same weight so they’re considered heavy’s too.

Hopefully this gets Incineroar some respect, he's clearly Sora Ltd's favorite heavy, he's got amazing tools disgusting kill power a hard to gimp recovery that can get you kill for daring to try and gimp him and one of the most actives and rewarding counters of the game, he's easily an A- character and very viable too. Also funfact upclose downtilt into upsmash is a true combo on most characters even on di out :)

Kazuya with that big DLC energy.... Watching his electric bulldoze through Incineroar's side B was painful. Insane risky plays paid off though I can't believe some of those stocks Skyjay was taking!
