Project L dev breaks down EVERYTHING you need to know 

It’s too long

Clickbaits for the main channel

Isnt long enough 😂

@@Freeeeeeeee27nah bru in clips channel he puts whole tournament runs and shit

Riot's excellent with their skin design. They run into issues with clarity, but I think with how distinctive silhouettes are for this viewpoint compared to League, you will probably run into a lot less of those issues, so skinning should be pretty exciting in this game.

@@TenjinZekken Clarity is honestly fine. If you can't tell what champions your facing, that is kind of on your for not paying attention to both draft, loading screen, or having champion names over head instead of player names.

@@zackrose6261 It's mostly fine on a general scale, but especially with how useful sweeper is at higher levels, clarity issues that come from ward skin silhouettes being too similar to some of the small champs (especially the coach koma ward skin and other humanoid ward skins), as well as general ambiguity of ability effects (many of which are a bunch of circles that can be told apart in base skin, but much harder when using skins that completely change the color palette), there are definitely issues with clarity. Lux's steel legion skin infamously makes her abilities nearly invisible. Blitz's mac skin is banned competitively due to it almost completely forgoing the big arm in its model, Elementalist Lux being banned for being too variable along with a few others. In a game where quick decision making in teamfights is paramount, a lot of these, while not annoying in normal play, do affect people even in high levels .

only something someone with autism could notice, but once you notice it, you could not enjoy the skins without it

I like the silly nerf toy weapons 😢

Yeah actually requires teamwork and synergy just like League of legends

I played with him at evo and the 2v2 was waaay more fun than I expected

I didn't play at evo and the 2v2 looked waaay more fun than i expected

I 2nd this, hate tekken 7 for this

probably because it was a EVO demo, so they have to limit battle time

they most definitely will. this is just a bare bones demo for evo.

I heard Clockw0rk say that this versus mode demo build was only thrown together in early July, just in time for the preview invitational thing they did at Riot HQ. Everything other than the core gameplay is still super early stages. I have faith that they'll put a lot of effort into UI design and quality of life features. They're already working on changes to improve visual clarity.

This is the Evo demo, every game has an option for this and this will be a frequently updated game so I'm pretty sure it won't have any issues

illaoi has already been shown off, just not in this build

They did already show Illaoi before and they surely will release a reveal trailer just like Yasuo once she's ready!

If they don't put sett or vi in the base roster it'd be a crime. They deserve to be in the game more thany any other champ imo

@x-manfam705 sett is on the leaked list.

Project L is free to play!

@@naruto_kon God King Darius is a skin!

@@sevhoss oh sorry i don't know much about league of legends, this skin looks awesome!

There're no skin (yet or not), but there's chroma for you to change colours

I'm worried if had effects, animations or not that skin

(cue wall of buzz lightyears meme)

Love the enthusiasm. Hope to maybe see you up on the big screen!

You got this! Go far, fellow fighter.

Why not? Seriously, just do it.

Syndra sounds like the perfect choice for a projectile zoner.

Riven's design is meant to mimic the combos and animation cancelling found in fighting games. She may not make the release roster, but she's guaranteed to make her way into the game at some point. And she'll definitely be a rekka character with an install.

@@kevinb5417 @Oscar97o You guys are hyping me up even more.

@@SilverSuisei Man I can already envision in my mind how Riven will play. A rekka based on her Q with canned mix-ups and the ability to cancel into other moves, possibly even normals. A quick short dash ala her E to sideswap during blockstrings and combos. An install level 1 ultimate that reforges her sword and dramatically increases her hitboxes, damage, and even hitstun durations to allow new, wild combo extensions. She's just a perfect candidate for the game. I can't see it being long before she's part of it. Riven is just straight up meant to be a fighting game character - and with how beloved she is she'll definitely have a community of dedicated players.

​@@kevinb5417she was originally designed to be played "like a fighting game character but in League". I'd be surprised if she's not in the initial roster.

I mean it's F2P. No reason not to at least give it a shot.

As someone who doesnt know a lot about fighting game, this one look easy to pick up. Every single characters got the same inputs, 90% of a button + directionnal input. There is no need to learn inputs for every single character ( which is good since you play 2 at the same time)

Well the game is already made for simplicity. The complexity will only come with how you use the 2 characters you have in a match. Fighting games gets this false tendency to be hard when they are are much simpler than MOBAs.

That's totally fine. I mean the game is going to be free to play for a reason; so people can just boot up the game and play around with their favorite league characters with no financial burden.

@@XX-br5bn Inputs are not what makes it hard/easy to pick up, that is easiest thing of all lol

1:02:21

Runeterra Champions is also one of my guesses. It's not gonna be Runeterra Legends, because "Legends of Runeterra" is a card game that already exists.

not everyone goes to evo to compete

I compete at evo every year, why is every comment on this video just completely filled with misinformation lol what is this

​@@Brian_F it's the curse of thoth

@@Brian_F The internet.

Because it looks better

It's still 3D, it's just using a cellshading technique similar to ArcSys games (Guilty Gear, DragonBall FighterZ, Granblue Fantasy Vs, DNF Duel)

The lack of motion inputs do not matter. Casuals will be able to do cool looking moves with 1 button, competitive players will still have tons of depth to optimize and win. The point of the game is not to lower the skill ceiling at all, it's going to be a very difficult game to master

it's accessible and hard in the way that there's sutff to master like wave dashing but at the same time players don't have to worry about complicated motion inputs like zangiefs ult especially on keyboard OR having to worry about getting the wrong input out like DP and fireball which happens more often than not (happened with daigo at evo this year)

@@Brian_FFair point. Also that background music of that first stage is def a vibe.

Riot's always done an excellent job balancing accessibility (skill floor) and mastery (skill ceiling), and they know what makes things easier for newbies to get into, while leaving lots of room for growth. Take League vs DotA for instance. Despite a lack of things like turn animations, buybacks, a simplified jungle, a mostly symmetrical map layout, simplified meta, jungle timers, etc etc compared to DotA, it's still a game that at the highest level, people are still continuously one upping and getting better, and where even the best players aren't safe from someone becoming better than them. Valorant did the same, removing the necessity for things like lineups to get into the game with a lot of the utility being very easy and fast to put down, yet still maintaining a high execution ceiling with things like util travel time, resource management, and generally tight gunplay and a lot of interesting options that create much more intense executes than you can get in CS. LoR simplifies the back and forth nature of MtG combat, while maintaining a lot of the depth of the back and forth of reactionary cards, or interactions during combat. TFT is the only one that is hard to compare, simply because I can't think of another auto battler outside of HS Battlegrounds people still actively play.

They wanted to lower the skill floor, while keeping the skill ceiling high. It's as simple as that.

100% agreed. Last time they showed the game it looked worse but it gets fleshed out every time. Also, always leave comments like these, I can say (not 100%) that they're definitely reading the comments and add it to the things they fix. I'm hoping the next time we get to test the game, the gauges fill up faster.

Lol you oriole consoling about the most irrelevant snap things ever. Really? Camera shake speed ???? LOOK AT THSI BEAUTIFUL GAME. Literally everyone at evo loved it and said how great it was yet you who uabwnt even played it , already critiquing it

idk when people are going hard (using assists to create mixups and bursts/parries are going off) it can be too cluttered and you have no idea what is going on as a viewer.

@@sniffs_ They haven't found a good balance. In the majority situation, there's so little going on, visually, that I'm legitimately put in mind of those endless SNES fighters. All they really need to do is take a good, long look at SF6. And then don't copy but take _inspiration_ from what it does. There's a great deal more going on than simply the characters and some token motion effects for their attacks. That all said, I'm willing to give them props for _actually keeping the characters fully animated at 60fps_ (hitstops notwithstanding). That's more than the otherwise more visually striking DBFZ and Strive manage to do.

@@Hinokami777 > Really? Camera shake speed ???? It's because it's emblematic of a flawed design philosophy. As far as camera shake, hitstops and character vibration go, SFV set the standard. SF6 does a decent job too, but it's definitely a step backwards. Tekken 8 has the _exact same problem_ as Project L: Not only is the camera shake at a low frequency but it's *100% vertical,* no matter what the attack was. The z and x axes are completely ignored. The Project L team needs to be told that "adding some camera shake" is a taller order than simply dropping a quick sine wave in. You need to account for frequency, duration, waveform, _direction,_ etc. They have Apologyman advising on fight mechanics and balance; they need somebody advising on the minutiae that most people only acknowledge subconsciously.

At least they added dash-blocking to MK1.

But no superdash, thank God lol

The combo system is completely different. Lot's of differences off the top of my head: no vanish or superdash, no universal super jump, no DHC without fuse, simple special inputs, dash macros, nonexistent assist timers, tag out of assists calls, 2v2 not 3v3 meaning characters have more to them in this game, etc. Aesthetics are different too, just because it's a cell shaded 3D fighting game doesn't make it DBFZ.

@@unlabeledsoup I'm not saying it's very alike to DBFZ, I was just making a joke. lol But it is a Tag/Vs. fighter, like DBFZ, so it does share that aspect at least.

Hmm its almost like both project L and dbfz gameplay was heavily inspired by the same game or something

dbfz combo structure is medium into medium jump medium light light down heavy superdash into the same thing twice. if ANYTHING projects L combo structure is that of mvcs

casuals still play dbfz and marvel. so the crossover is going to be pretty big

People were saying the same thing about DBFZ yet look at how many casual players stuck with the game after it came out.

na, all you need is good matchmaking so those marvel crowd don't get matched against casuals and it's set

@@ZenithPotentia true

That's what people said about Valorant, but 3 years strong, and now they are CSGO's only competition after years and years of CS dominance.

Why tho? All the moves are set to be a direction + a button or a combination of buttons. Motion inputs would be considerably slower.

nothing to turn on if it doesn't exist

@@Kait0s Yeah I don't care, motion inputs are just really fun and cool imo

​@indradracolich you can make up your own and end them in the direction for the button, boom diy motion inputs

@@meethepie Genius

no really, being Riot I don't think they will let the game die, they will do everything possible with skins, cinematics, music and more marketing things so that people say playing it, things in which different F Games companies fail, since they are not live service

nah

People say this about literally every game. Look at Valorant, everyone called it a CSGO clone that would die after a couple months, yet its still one of the most popular fps games out right now.

so like street fighter ?

You mean like most fighting games?

Gameplay analysts ARE devs

@@copilot13 No. There is a difference between a developer and just someone who contributed to a game

If he's there and doing something to contribute to the development process of the game he's definitely a dev.

@@SlCKNESS_ That's not what a developer is. The "dev team" is a specific part of the process, just like the art team, the sound team, or the music team. It's not just a name for anyone who contributes

@@owencmyk That's literally incorrect. All the "teams" you've mentioned are the developers. Look it up, if you don't believe me. It's literally on the internet. Actual developers talking about this exact thing.

I didn’t even think it was coming this year?

the game doesn't even have a release date yet, I think by the time it comes out it'll have a space for itself. Plus its riot games, so even if like 1% of league players migrate to project L, it'll be the biggest fighting game ever.

bro im pretty sure project L isnt even the working title. what unfortunate timing, this games waaaaaaaay out

The launch date its for the 2024 bc if in this month they are lauching a close beta and a little servers proof, they haven't time to launch this year. So the next year they have no competence with big fighter games.

Not to mention it’s free 😅

This might be a joke but in case it's not, apologyman IS a dev on project l

loving how u don't know anything about apologyman and think he's not a dev

He is literally working on project L, I've been on esports teams with Vineeth and have known him for years.

🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

@@Brian_F am retarded sorry
