Riddles looked a little off, he showed moments against Acola, but I think he just tilted pretty hard after his first loss. IMO cloud+ spargo is an easier matchup than Steve+Acola, it’s just a matter of which match he plays better

yuuuh cloud is actually a beast off stage you just gotta be aggressive and dont do dumb sh!t. that one balance buff that allows cloud to grab from further off the ledge is *INSANE* cloud still has dogsh!t recovery but if youre good at threading the ABSOLUTE edge of his recovery range he is far far better. its worth practicing if youre a cloud main. nothings more terrifying than a cloud chasing your ass offstage.
