We finally played Rivals 2 

this is mario 3???

Its simpler than it looks, you spawn hitboxes (fruit) with your buttons and when they merge with a hurtbox they deal damage to your opponent. A really interesting take on suika pvp if you ask me

I’d like you to know that while this video was loading I saw this comment and genuinely started to wonder if it was more Suika or not

​@@thetajuicesame

The stages of grief are showing

The midair knockdown is actually really good for forcing special get-up for characters like Fleet who get something just for using the move. This is going to be a post KO ritual for Fleet mains, for sure.

God the UI being in the middle is such a big thing both for playing experience and especially future tourney/stream setups

One of? He IS the best.

@@nickmcnally7808 depends on what skill level. mid - high masters wrastors make it impossible to play the game while plat wrastors will kinda randomly blow up.

With how wrastor works, the gimmick honestly makes him better

@@cosmic5665 exactly

is Smash not good?

​@ziragaizepic4460 what's a smash?

@@ziragatooepicokay now name a good platform fighter in the same style that isn’t smash

@@Normbot13 NASB 2

​@@Normbot13 slap city

Why does she have a nerf arrow 😭

​@@moosesues8887I think that's just her beach skin

In her home game she has 0 thoughts, it's great

Might have taken notes from NASB

i didn’t see any fighting games in this video

@@nicorobin7762 then get new glasses

Platform fighting games are still fighting games.@@nicorobin7762

​@@nicorobin7762booo

​@@nicorobin7762Correct, you saw a platform fighter game!

Damn really, same VA? I had always thought A.K.I sounded much better and unhinged in English than in Japanese, they did damn good work.

i luv Faye Mata

@@Sir_Danks-A-Lot 1r

wait real? i've never realized downb and bandit bringer were kinda similar

hi friends, can you let me in ok the reference? #FOMO!

@@asoapshoeinthesea6780 Guilty Gear character named Sol Badguy has an aerial version of a special called Bandit Bringer where he divebombs down with a flaming fist.

Holy shit, I'm now gonna yell it out anytime I down b in rivals of aether

Ok, thanks you for letting me in on that wonderful inside joke, i now feel part of the group! @@flareblade24

Meanwhile I'm wondering what's going to replace her neutral special. I want to say a fireball like she uses in the comic, but then that'd put her in the awkward spot of having Zetterburn's side-B as her neutral-B.

I'd count Ori's bounce thing as a grab too.

But they can grab can they grab midair

Etalus up air is, technically, a grab.

Elliana, Etalus, Ranno, Hodan, and Ori all have "grabs" (command grab)

with it being 3d models instead of pixel art I doubt it sadly 3d models are quite difficult to make

​@@n.d.r.g4724will depend on how easily people can import existing models

​@@n.d.r.g4724good, people finally have to play the real game without it getting overshadowed by shit posts

I hope so, too. However, Idk how people feel about the lean away from workshop viability/ease of use for this game. With a bigger base roster, maybe the game can keep the attraction to itself

@@n.d.r.g4724There’s a game I know called risk of rain 2 witch is 3d but has high quality character mods bosses and maps

Their Kickstarter is ongoing and they're currently working on stretch goals. They've said that the goal is to add all of the stretch goals to the game eventually, but each goal reached will ensure that they're there at launch (though the potential for more after that is there). So, with that in mind, as of right now, there should be 3 more characters at launch, with a potential 4th if the Kickstarter keeps going well, for a total of 10.

They will, at the moment the game will have 9 characters on release

The one winning is Alpharad

They haven’t posted ultimate, but they have recorded it

Oh god the memories. Ty for reminding me

That’s big for me too. Compared to the spastic camera of PM for example

They already said no workshop support

@@XenonfujiDan is hitler

@@Xenonfujidoesn’t mean people can’t mod it without workshop

​@@Xenonfujiso there's no real point in buying it?

​@artenthusiastae7196 that's I thought too but this game honestly seems so worth it after watching a tournament

Not really the same thing

They do have edge hogging, in the end of the video they have a perfect example

thanks lmao. I must have missed it.

They did a tournament and I remember edge hogging coming into play multiple times

Facts man. We need more platform fighters

I think he was one whose models were leaked

ronald in 3d

Gonna be harder to mod, but, i hope dan adds workshop support

​@@KyunaCookiesi believe its said workshop support is going to be added later in the future, it probably won't be here by the official release but possibly soon after. i'm sure its harder to impliment support on a 3d game compared to ROA1's 2d sprites.

nonexistant you mean, other than skins

Hoping the 3d modeling won't stop 'em

On one hand I can’t imagine the community going as crazy now that they’d have to design models and not sprites, but on the other hand this community has done some crazy shit.

Didn't dan say this game won't have workshop?

@@Xenonfuji ahh sadge but understandable

@@XenonfujiMore specifically, he said "any mod support would come far after launch", so it's not guaranteed but still maybe possible? Fingers crossed

Sodium Donkey Kong Daniel moment

Me neither, it didn’t feel intuitive. Ledges are not only part of platform fighter identity but also platformer identity

Fleet doesn't have Peach Float, it's a slow-fall. Similar but different. So there's still hope
