SSC 2023 Winners Quarters - acola (Steve) Vs. Riddles (Kazuya) Smash Ultimate Tournament 

Super Smash Con 2023 is still live! Check it out here: "www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp"

If this match taught me anything, it’s how overpowered Steve really is. They can even 3-0 Kazuya mains.

I think a huge part of this match was the fact that Acola himself knows how to play Kazuya and has that knowledge. The way he'd punish riddles for breaking blocks showed that too

“Can’t wait to go home and grind SF6”Riddles 2023

Wow, we get salt from Steve haters AND Kazuya haters in one comment section? *grabs bag of popcorn*

minecraft steve being in smash still feels like a fever dream every time i watch it

Yes, Steve is unfair, BUT Acola knew how every single one of Terry's moves work. He punished everything, even if they weren't considered mistakes.

8:33 lmao hungrybox

Without sparg0 in the bracket anymore I think Acola wins this tournament

The main problem with kazuya imo is his weight. Sure he has his invisible 0 to death and EWGF and other BS but god damn he lives for a long ass time.

SPOILER: DLC PACK 2 WINS

idk there's just something really funny about Hungrybox getting up and walking away after a steve win @ 8:35

3-0 against riddles, made him switch off his main… either Acola is the best player or Steve is busted

People who play Steve is because they know he’s one of the best characters. So they play him because Steve has little downsides when compared to so many characters.

bro did 85% in 4 seconds

Did they not ban kazuya and steve a lil while ago?

8:02

I am severely unhappy with what transpired in this set

8:24 I know for a fact acola went for uptilt -> nil2 f smash here, hence why he got the block bair, but dia bair would have 100% killed from there, he didn't have to style so hard 😂

wait ppl dont get hyped up from Kazuya touch of deaths anymore?

1:49 🤯

I been outta the smash RU-vid algorithm loop lately. Soo was Steve unbanned?

Great mach but can bro in the back with the stupid poster chill

So disappointing to see riddles drop that game 2 was his he got the 0-death he just choked when he missed that ez electric combo to take the stock he had to have misinputted fair instead of bair but up b was an ez kill too

8:33 Hungrybox in the background tho

Riddles got fondled

How is Sakurai gonna nerf bayo and then release these two monsters

Steve: “Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!”

trying to break Steve blocks is never a good idea

Bro is mashing 1:31 💀💀💀

Ok, now have them play dittos to find out which player can actually play neutral.

Remember steve players have a near infinite skill ceiling because steve. You all know what holds them back and if you want to prove it go ahead.

I LOVE SMASH DLC!!! I LOVE SMASH DLC!!! I LOVE SMASH DLC!!!

Straight up this kids an amazing player

スト6に夢中だから、以前と違ってスマブラで負けてもあまり悔しそうじゃないリドルスさん

I don't think Riddles enjoyed losing to a cheesy character . . . ironic.

Aint no way bro got deleted just like that

Never underestimate the Minecraft default skin the tournament edition:

Amazing, acola plays so smooth with all the f-airs and back airs. Congrats 🎉

literally the funniest game, i love steve and i love kazuya

@1:52 Ik it’s kazuya but riddles is unreal jeez that combo

Acola is an outstanding player. Riddles did miss a lot, and Acola punished him for it. Good job, Acola.

!bracket

Riddles's ken would've won this set (if you know what im talking about you know👀)

淡々とスティーブの最大限を出してる感じ スマブラSPの完成形

DLC PRIVILEGE BABY ! cant wait for the 4 months of fun of smash 6 before DLC ruins yet again a game

なぞなぞではもう相手にならないかそうか… あcola止めれるとしたらdabazしかいないだろうな

As strong as Steve is, we can't just ignore how bad people play this match up. It's 2023 and people still get hit by anvils even though it's like 80% of the options when Steve is above you. People still get pressured by TNT even though, you should have to pick a ledge option other than get up and mindless second jump aerials and/or side Bs. Riddles has a solid punish game and decent neutral, but his disadvantage is one of the worst in the top 10. He almost never mixes up ledge options. You can bet it's some kind of stupid aggressive option and you can bet he's gonna drop out of the tournament because of it. A little bit of patience and the occasional read would make him a terrifying player considering the characters he plays can just 0-death you.

あcolaの安定感素晴らしい。キャラのことで色々言われてるけど、他の人がスティーブ使ってもこうはならないだろう

Steve is so goofy, i love it

This matchup is so fun to watch😂

I love how nobody is cheering for the Steve.

I wish i was in the tornament

I quit this game. I watched Light vs Marss. I got inspired to play again. I saw this set. Nvm.

1:52 why can kazuya do that

Acola is so fun to watch, the way he reacts to plays and combos reminds me of a FGC.

1:53 combo vídeo

dlc was a mistake

どっちもバカキャラ過ぎて見てて面白い

Did the DLC carried player get beat by DLC?? life is poetry

Could commentary not amplify character hate bandwagons? Trying to enjoy the set and the first two and half minutes is just whinging like we don't already have too much of that.

Steve banned confirmed😂

So no Leo this time?

Riddles should learn the Steve match up in my opinion

Sparg0 out of the way, what happened to him?

No se como siguen permitiendo a este personaje en torneos, Ban Steve

1:52 Riddles won solely because of this

No matter who wins smash loses

スマブラの闇対闇()

Riddles Smile

Sooooo no ones gonna say shit about the phantom glitch ?

Y’all gotta stop bitching about Steve long enough to appreciate that aCola is just that good. That tech on the meteor? The punish game? The spacing? Give him props and stop being such salt licks all the time

Riddles needs to learn to use kazuya’s reflect, despite it having a slow start up he’ll need it to counter the 2 main projectiles he gets punished at. Cart and anvil.

Spamming up tilt lol. Nice.

Posterboard psych patient 🤡

1:53

If Steve ends up in grand finals, I’ll start a riot

You gotta admit, the caliber that あcola plays in is just best of the world. He’s the best Steve in the world for a reason. Amazing job! Riddles doing zero to death on the first game was clutch though. Respect to both players. I don’t understand all the Steve hate, I hate Minecraft but I love watching these characters battle in smash.

SATISFACTION 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

Steve is more cancer than sonic by far, 0 engage then just endless options to eliminate punish options. If steve gets knocked up then anvil, if he gets knocked to the side then cart, if he gets attacked from above then lava block. If you’re on ledge then tnt and lava. If you manage to beat all that then camp off stage and mine for a time out if you have a lead.

I hate Steve lol, I can fight kazuya players but playing a good Steve is like playing a whole different game.

HAHAHAH NOBODY CELEBRATED THE ACOLA VICTORY

I hate pay to win i mean dlc supremacy

Acola delivered a good beating to mashing riddles.

riddles悟り開いてない？w

Love seeing Acola win against the carried ass fgc players

Steve is so cringe bro. He can just brainlessly spam out kill options and there's literally 0 risk involved. Along with a 70% guaranteed combo route that is like frame 3 and -2 on shield. The fact that they still allow this character in competitive smash is ridiculous.

I pray on every Steve's downfall

idk why but acola's defensive playstyle makes me cringe a lil

zero hype in the crowd after match 1.....yay....smash...

Wow. I hate both these characters. I’m gonna watch this video and I’ll be genuinely surprised if I don’t yawn once the entire time

Riddles mashing.

Tr rights 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Steve vs kazuya and it's not even a Tekken match

Llamen a spargo

I thought Steve was banned… what happened?

take that sign down

Trans Rights are human rights ❤ Stay strong!

Steve is so broken.
