How To Play Loxodont in Rivals 2 

lox: u thot i was a grappler… i am a zoner

*comments solely for algorithm*

Looking forward to seeing you talk about the other characters to.

That thumbnail goes hard.

Something to note about Loxodont's ftilt 1: On grounded opponents it's slightly negative on hit unless you cancel into ftilt 2. That said, that doesn't mean it's bad. Once you hit with ftilt it's mixup time. Your fastest options (other than ftilt 2) are jab, grab, and block and those are all great for building a gameplan around because they all serve a different purpose, and while none of them are true they're all fast enough to be unreactable. Imo the default option is ftilt > jab. You can get this without canceling into ftilt 2 by hitting jab just after Loxo's ears swing back forward in his ftilt 1 animation. Jab can lead into a grab or any tilt, including linking back to ftilt and looping the situation until they do something about it. Figure out their response to the situation and adjust your post-ftilt punish accordingly. Do they mash a fast button? Block and shield grab. Do they block? Grab. Do they spot dodge? Meaty the i frames. The hardest response to deal with is roll, as you'll need to read the direction or have some great reflexes. Roll in is the easiest, as you can just pivot > pick a move. I think roll away can lead to side b, but I didn't get a chance to lab that. Ideally, you want to do this close enough to the ledge that their roll away will stay in ftilt range or on a platform (though the latter is a lot harder to set up).

Loxodont joins Wario, Incineroar, Ike, and Ridley in the kingdom of “heavy with a carried nair”

i played the beta for 15 hrs and i must say. lox is the only character i'm decent at. i love his mixup options. my favorite strategy is forcing people into tech situations or just knowledge checks. i.e. dthrow without the magma confused so many people which let me react to their options such as a ftilt 1 or a dsmash. sometimes it led to an upstrong or side special. my personal favorite set up is ftilt 1 to utilt, which can lead to juggles.

so good!

He looks so damn cool man

Mammoth go brrrrrrr

I just realized there aren't any water characters yet. Wild.

Muxh love

RAHHHHHHH LOXODONT GUIDE

love the kaladesh renegade flag in the background

Really hoping we get Orcane soon :3

Instead of magma armor, since itsnot defensive wha if we call it magma jacket

He feels like the character that I wouldn’t main but I’d still somehow consistently beat all my friends with him instead of whoever I do main. I dunno any better way to describe it. I can’t wait for people to give dumb names to all his kill confirm, he’s gotta have one called the Wowie Zowie because elephants.

Oo la la

IT'S NOT MY TIIIIIME

So loxodont doesn't wear underwear so his is techinally naked

EVERYONE ADD COMMENT FOR RETENTION (also dont make it the same as mine and dont spite me either)
