Nemo / Majin Obama VS Tachikawa / Sako - 2XKO 2v2 Early Access Gameplay 

It's cool how they incorporated one of League's most integral mechanics, blaming your team for the loss, into their fighting game.

Just an observation. Since this is a team based game, it would be cool if characters did their winning animations together and some had special winning animations. I don't know much about the lore of LoL but this could bring the feeling that CVS2 gave us with the special intros (and Tekken 8 is doing now).

They Mike Wazowski'd Majin with the face cam that's messed up

I love that there is now an arrow above the head of the active character whenever the other one comes up even if it's just an assist makes it very clear.

This game continues to look sick but I can't wait for the new excuse of "my teammate is trash" to enter the scene

so that's why Nemo said.. he's feeling back home.. yep his Illaoi was clean

the 2v2 mode is the main reason me and my fgc friends are interested in this game its fairly unique and i like that its one of the main focuses in design, apparently

The Voice Actress for AHRI Kinda sounds like Juri from SF ❤️

Smash players would call this 2v2 gameplay doubles.

11:11 - the stance cancels look so fun

match 1 00:00 Nemo(Yasuo)/Majin Obama(Illaoi) vs Sako (Yasuo)Tachikawa (Ekko) match 2 4:00 match 3 7:22 Nemo (Illaoi) Majin Obama(Ahri) match 4 12:28 match 5 15:56 match 4 21:44 match 6 28:00 highlight 16:38 Illaoi happy birthday then Obama feeds and she gets another HB at 17:26 almost killing both characters in 2 combos

Lovin the 2XKO uploads. Hoping the playtest comes soon because I'm getting hyped

Thanks for the vid. One thing that I think will be awesome is having the player audio. I know you probably couldnt do that this time but when the game is out in the world and tournaments are running, it will be great to hear players communicate like you described in the beginning of the vid.

Xian and Mike Ross in Project L should be a comedy goldmine. How's this game gonna work offline though if you can hear the other team talking? Also having the players be hooked up with mics so the stream can hear them talking at tournaments, at least 2 of them at a time, is going to be pretty important for viewers as well.

God, watching gameplay of this game is so hard, because I often find myself just fantasizing about playing it myself with my friend while watching.

It might be one of those things where you have to use mic if you're playing teams online but this is very interesting to see Like you said there's like a handful of games with team fighting I'm really liking the way this game is turning out

How do dhcs work on doubles? Does the assist player input the 2nd super like during 17:27?

Im all in for this kind of gameplay (2v2). Breaths fresh air in the FGC and promotes growth

I can't wait to get acquainted with the game proper. Currently I feel like I'm going crosseyed when a lot is going on and I don't know where to be focusing on the screen

3:41 ... Her character select image isn't finished? When was this recorded?

The DOA / MK9 tag team memories coming back😢 Siblings got advantage out the gate, we coming in READY

I love the character select screen bgm. Do you think they’ll be adding a zoner archetype? I’d like to see xerath in that role

That Ekko pressure from 6:12 was nuts, almost 100 to 0 the Yas, that position swap move seems like people can get nutty with it to really extend combos, pity he dropped the meaty at the end. I love using the 2nd players assist into swap as a cross up too, Prediction: 2v2 meta will settle on using the Freestyle handshake tag for maximum flexibility and mind games.

The biggest thing is I hope they have quality and in depth stats from matches. Commentators would be so benefited around good in depth stats so they could do pre shows, post shows, and shows during the week going over that stuff like we see in LoL and other games. FGC needs that

I can see communicating with your friend next to you would be fun or someone that you know on comms. But a random tho ? That communication will go LTG style very fast. Pretty much the kind of experience on mobas.

The sound design in this game seems kinda lacking. I know it's not even in beta yet but the music is really generic and the hits don't sound powerful. Also sometimes there's no sound other than the generic music when a character dies. It's really weird. There should be an announcer or something for Down's and KO's and character select stuff on release, I'd hope.

How much time did you guys get in the lab? Especially with a lab fiend like Nemo in the mix, I highly doubt it's you guys' fault but this looks like it needs a lot more sauce, both in neuch and in combos.

I'm so curious to see how bigger tournaments like Evo will handle this possibility for playing doubles, whether that is even going to be a real option or maybe more of "just for fun" brackets on the side.

I feel like I still don't understand. Does this 2v2 mode add anything to the game over a normal assist fighter, other than it switching who is in control of the point character? I was sort of hoping they had some idea that made the game too complex to have all of the mechanics be controlled by one player if they are focusing on this. It just seems like splitting a tag fighter across two controllers. Still sounds fun to do sometimes, but it doesn't seem like something that would stay relevant unless I am missing something huge. My main problem is that it only seems to add drawbacks other than the novelty and fun factor of playing with two people. It seems like it will just be easier to drop combos without anything extra added to make up for it. Basically, what I'm trying to figure out is this: Is this mode somehow different than the 2v2 mode in Street Fighter x Tekken in some way that I'm not getting?

“Dos Ekis Kao” looks awesome. Does the game allow for 2v1(controlling 2 characters)?

does the tag is like bbtag where you can queue for action then tag to your partner, or does it not allow you to tag at all/cancels the action when tagged?

hey thanks for the footage!

27:01 illaoi sacrifices herself. What a bro.

the game looks like it's choppy or slow? i can't explain it. i know it's 60fps but it doesn't look like it. almost like it's in slow motion like multiversus.

How to do the stomp on the ground? How to cancel the combo?

So is this only multiplayer 2v2 or can you also play solo both characters just like you play all 3 characters in DB fighterz

Only question I got, do you know if there was an alternate command for dash/parry? I only saw the macro buttons for them in pics and would be sad to play 8 buttons like these leverless heathens

I could see this game having similar tournament structures to smash where there's a singles bracket and a separate doubles bracket.

You can also play 1v2 in this game right? If so I think it would be interesting to have brackets with both solos and duos allowed

I'm personally excited for this feature because I have friends that play fighting games, but not as much as I do. Understandably, they don't really have fun getting bopped for hours when I play against them, but with Doubles, we can enjoy what would likely be for us a more casual experience that can be fun for everyone.

That Illaoi normal that looks like a light kick or something is insane. For a fast poke, look at the range and active frames on it. 23:33

31:56 - Majin Obama with them old man reactions. lol

The Team thing is def top tier for multiplayer gameplay, looking forward for what it becomes

The gameplay pace is very good so far. It’ll be interesting to see new player adapt to the idea of calling assist very carefully, cos it seems like you certain characters can combo the assist character high up out of reach😭

Wait I thought both characters on the team would be on the victory screen? Did i miss remember that or did Riot change it?

Little complaint. They should touch up on how the camera works. In 9:53 and 12:48 i got a little disoriented watching the game cause the camera started doing weird stuff.

I hope there's 2 ranked modes one for solo and 2v2..I think it would be SUPER FUN to work with a second..but at the same time a solo player would have an advantage

17:20 bah gawd that's a lotta damage!

Does this game not have counter hits? It seems that a counter hit has been replaced by "interrupt", which likely means there's no such thing as counter hit starters

Reminds me of Mortal komat 9 tag team fights … the best times

It's really a fine tradition of RIOT GAMES that a game where you win or lose based on your strength rounds turns into a rant/blame your teammates game!

Ive been asking and waiting for a team fighting game for years, I always thought that Naruto clash of ninja did a good job with it and was looking forward to cerebrawl. But 2XKO is the perfect game allowing for the most fun BS and also having a way for me to play with my more casual friends and my competitive friends. It’s also a good excuse to stir my LoL friends into the FGC. All in all I’m really glad

I'm hoping we get some more 1v1 footage of this game soon. I know they're pushing the 2v2 as the focal point, and its definitely unique and interesting. But I personally see myself playing way more 1v1 than 2v2 with the idea of playing around with team compositions on my own. Instead of relying on what my friends are playing

A friend of mine and I used to play MK9 Tag mode obsessively online, and sfxt as well. i cant wait for this game

Imagine skipping intros and the game isn't even out yet 💀

30:14 I don't get why this was a loss when p1 side was up a character. I guess it's decided by net health?

My only issue is there is not enough time for the sets. The clock hits zero so fast that there is going to be alot of time out matches. They need to add another 50 seconds

What the genre always lacked were actual "cooperative" modes. Ngl, It's always a struggle to get friends into the genre because, what you gonna do? Go into training mode, explain the verry basics and sandbag the following matches when playing against them? Not fun for them because they know I'm holding back but also obviously you can't go all out as well. Even though I never liked team or tag fighters, having way to finally get them to know the genre through a mode you can play together is awesome and a great idea and it fits this game in particular.

Oh, I'm loving this gameplay from Illaoi. She looks suitably weighty and imposing. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

This game is so sick, I love the idea behind a true 2v2 fighting game and I love the devs behind it. I think it still needs the smallest bit of work in terms of making things look smoother animation wise (they’ll probably do this at the end I’m guessing) but once that’s happened, it will be perfect. Even now I’m itching to get my hands on it!

Damn they got the Morrigan color pallete for Ahri that's sick

That’s very smart getting all the sf pros to play the demo

Any advantages playing in teams instead of one person controlling 2 chars?

I cannot wait for this game. I am definitely going to try and play Echo.

How do i play this game ? Is it on steam or Xbox store ???✅✅✅looks nice

Can you keep using the assist while being dead? or am i wrong?

3:24 So we not gonna talk about how they picked their characters in syced with the music?

31:41 Ekko: "I got you!" Ahri: "No you don't" 😏

So hyped for Project L !

That’s ekko from Arcane!

2 Vs 2 it's why I want this game to come out

cant wait! they need to have better sounds

Why the animations and frames look so damn smooth? 👀

The wait for this game is a painful one. Hopefully the at home playtests start soon.

"I wander, but YOU are lost" has to be the hardest line I've heard in this game so far 🔥CANT WAIT TO PLAY!!

gonna be so funny when in a 2v2 discord call, if the point player asks assist to burst you can easily try to bait the burst

Not gonna lie, it's kinda messed up they didn't show your face. I know the guy on the other end of the couch is a bit out of frame, but at least you can still see his face. All we get is Majin-arm?

Ekko,set, and viego my mains

Damn, that's crazy. I was just thinking to myself the other day how cool it would be to try an MvC style game where you and a teammate each control one character.

im worried the release roster will be like 8 characters tops. which is very small

It looks so visually good 👍 even the menu screens…

If they ever do DLC commentators, I think it would also be cool if we had 2 also. Like the 2 from Platinum Games' Madworld. My wishlist: Majin Obama x Sexy Steve Aris x any loud Japanese commentator (those guys are fire) Spag x Sajam. Or any combination of the above. They could really go crazy with the concept of pairs the more I think about it.

It feels like they could use another soundpass for this game. Aside from the obvious change the name to something actually good.

Why didn't you compare this to bbtag? None of the games you mentioned come close to this compared to bbtag

The game looks so much faster than before.

Seems like a great way to play fighting games with my friends who are inexperienced. We can still enjoy the game together without me pummeling them.

I would hate this as the main way to play the game but as a side option and run it as a side event that would be sick

Will there be more than literally 4 character?

This game is gonna be the most fun playing with four people for sure 💯

Still gotta wait a whole year

The characters need to talk more. Like in sf6 certain moves invoke certain quotes. "Bringing the heat" "up and over" "no escape" "hold this l" "widns gather" "spiral arrow!" This game feels awfully quiet, with grunty noises

The 2v2 aspect is definitely interesting. I struggle at any fighting game with assists, it’s like information overload with all the stuff going on the screen for me. Lol why do Smashers not call it Team battle? It’s what*the game calls it!*

oh this looks fun and good actually

hey dude nice video but can you please get a pop filter? would really help your mic quality

The music is epic

Wish they would do it umvc3 style and just make them eat a mixup.

Not my kinda game, I'm out personally but I'm sure the 2-player mechanic will be fun to watch once people master it

No Darius gameplay? Dang.

Good shit fam :D

The brilliance of the 2v2 mode is that we can go to our league friends and be "don't worry, I'll carry you, just play whatever" Personally I don't think I plan on playing it that much myself tho since most of my circle would be coming in from fighting games. That said it's gonna be real funny when you land like a real devious mix and the other team just kinda stops coordinating. Like you'll KNOW you got em fighting in the VC
