@@flowgix6427 the games been out for 5 years now bro everyone knows about input buffer delay vs offline discourse. Those meager 6 frames of difference between the two modes was/is vastly overblown by the online community. Noticible perhaps, but not enough to invalidate anyone's general game plan. We see online tournaments with cash prizes like Coinbox taking centre stage in 2023 with many PGR ranked players competing online tournaments as a stand in for their weekly local. Nobody complains because the 6 frames of online lag is universally applied. And if the pros are okay with the input buffer delay when cash money is on the line, then you should be as well. You may or may not be in Elite Smash, that's okay. You may dislike the GSP system, that's also valid. I don't however think there's reason enough to resort to blanket copium statements, likely parroted only to sooth your bruised ego because you probably suck at the game you have over 2000+ hours in

I think its cause riddles is younger as a competitor. Also Riddles can be hard on himself at times, and i believe that can affect his play as well. Overall with time and good practice, he'll be able to roll with the punches even better!

you do also have to realize that not only is riddles young & hard on himself but also because he mains kazuya, the world wants to see him loose which can absolutely get into his head. his thrown controller ragequit & his reverse 3'd by mkleo was the WHOLE talk of the town but when he wins, "eh. he was carried by fp2 so it doesn't matter or count." being pro is hard but being pro when the community wants to see you lose so badly is some next level pressure.

Can we have a tournament that consists entirely of Skyjay vs Riddles?

Favorite skyjay habits, he goes for Alolan whip right after dying, loves dtilt and Nair at ledge, and is just a God

That's why Riddle's tag is "real devil;" Sky sent this man straight to where he belongs.

Do you remember the end of the third fight of shuumatsu no Valkyre? I imagine Skyjay saying the same sentence of the winner "Dude, it feels good to win once in a while"

Skyjay looking like a neurosurgeon with how deep he got into Riddles' head by the end of that set LOL.

I love him thriving off of his opponents fear. It reminds me of light after smashcon fall fest where he talked about beating spargo once he realized he was scared of him. Glad to see him carrying on the legacy at the last summit

This two were my favorites to make it into finals. But this was amazing.

Skyjay’s usage of side b when riddles was at the ledge was really devastating for riddles. A good counterplay to incin’s side b is kazuya’s up-back tilt since it actually beats incin’s side b and it doesn’t require some time to input it like electric does so riddles should definitely practice using up-back tilt against it that way he won’t be at risk of dying at very low percents at ledge vs incin.

This has to be Sky’s tournament. I’d love to see him win Summit
