The Super Smash Bros. player that's taking over Street Fighter | Trash Talk

We launched a Patreon! - ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Brian_F for early access to main Trash Talk episodes, Q&A with the community for Extra Trashy, and more.

Having reached the peak of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competitive scene,  @riddlesmk  set his sights on a new scene: Street Fighter 6. Quickly becoming known as one of -if not THE - best Terry players, Riddles has made his mark by qualifying to the Esports World Cup, placing in the top 8 of Ultimate Fighting Arena, and is ranked in the top 25 of the Capcom Pro Tour qualification standings.
