You love to see a RAVN video popping off- people don't realize you're literally on the grind constantly making banging content and you've been on it for YEARS 🙌

8:35 Completely personal request but I would love for there to be a smaller permanent coin shop for the skin pallets (Cool Blue, Black, ect.) so that more exclusive skins and other items can get slotted onto the daily coin shop. The coin shop is already a pretty good idea but it would be great to just have the option to buy those pallets more often while grinding character levels and event passes for those who aren't in a current position to buy Aether bucks

Does it work with Akenaia?

I hope to see more interviews with Dan, you asked some great questions.

Honestly, I'm excited for everything. I do wonder if some of the purchased pallettes will ever be usable on the skins instead of just the base characters. 31:51 yeah, that guy sounds like someone who uses and had gotten way too used to AI bs and expects things to just be done for them, that's not realistic AT ALL.

Been itching for more info on rivals! 120+ hours in and I’m finally silver 760 😂.

PLAESE! Watch the hole interview before looking at these timestamps. I making this comment so people ho just want to see one thing, or need to check something quick they can. Watching these 2 talk is a treat and shows how much they care about the community. Plus RavN is a G and needs the support. From Shadow Hawk: "Was there any challenges porting characters into the game engine or design wise?" 0:55 From EJ: "Since Ori & SK are not coming back to Rivals 2, will we see parts of there kit be added to new characters?" 4:00 From EJ: "Will we see more Dungeons of Aether characters come to Rivals 2? If so please dont tell us which so we can be surprised." 6:24 From RavN & The Colorado Rivals Discord: "What happened to the Denver servers?" 9:15 From Unspecified People: "Will we see Pier to Pier connection in rivals 2 for private games?: 11:15 From Hero Of Hats: "Whats your favorite character skin or emote?" 12:58 From Slinky: "When can backers expect to see the custom Icons?" 14:18 From Mr.Garasin (hope i spelled that right): "How do the dev feel about the feedback they get?" 15:20 <---- big one From Professor Skynerd: "How much do you think the current roster will expand, and is there the possibility of the runner ups being added?" 19:31 From RavN: "Can we please see Rano basketball skin shoo squeaks?" 20:40 From Cross Sock: "Is there a priority list of fetures that need to be updated? Like story mode or characters." 21:57 <----- big one From Violet: "Is there a plan to add any characters like a stans swap, or swaping between characters?" 24:58 From Mr.Garasin: "Will we see a character with a built in charge shot?" 25:58 <---- big one From RavN: Its about tournaments and state represented pallets, and its better to get the full scoop 27:38 From Gilgamesh: "Could we see a update where replays be put into training mode so we can see hit boxes & DI?" 30:44 From ZanyJ4 (hope i got that right): "As a member of the moding community, i was wonder how you feel about it at this moment in time?" 32:40 <----- big one From Glitch: "When can we expect to perches custom pallets?" 35:21 From A Lot Of Rivals Players: "Could there be a way to show off skins in shop alt colors along with the skin?" 38:35 From Nofin (hope i got that right): "Ho is the UI designer?" 39:57 RavN's chad good by and thankyou, and Matt being a absolute G dev 40:26 RavN being a even bigger chad and the possibility of more interviews or videos like this 42:39 Hope this helps people ho are watching the video. Or need to fact check. Also hope this helps you out RavN and please let me know if you want me to move timestamps or spell correct.

Awesome interview dude. Great to know that the Dev team is willing to do them with people.

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for doing this! I love this game :)

Whats the best way to pitch ideas to the dev team? I deleted my twitter account

How do you get the Ranno basketball skin?

Great interview, I wanna share my opinion on this game because I've learned that I have a legitimate hot take in regards to the game. Specifically, I must express that I truly do hope they don't fall into the path of nerfing characters as well; it's just coming from someone who's witnessed at least three games feel worse because of nerfed characters. I am a firm believer of "buffology". Everyone always has one of two lines in response: "We don't want things to be overtuned," and "Not everyone has to be that good," but I am forced to strongly disagree with this after what I've seen. Sm4sh, regardless of its issues, would very likely have a stronger lifespan toward the ending had the previous top tiers not been nerfed overtime before their DLC releases... Ultimate's kind of trickier when they have over 70 characters, but it still cemented that thought when almost everyone's favorite changes were the buffs, and I was questioning half of the nerfs they made. To be clear, there isn't any frustration or annoyance, but the complaint/criticism more lies with a dissatisfactory feeling. It's very difficult to find anyone with this sentiment, but... you should buff most-or-all characters. It's close to being good, like shield/stage fix + aggro/parry buffs type of close. This comes from someone who is maining Random, I'm fundamentally labbing the game as we speak lol Given the talltale that I'm suggesting, what do I mean about the characters? Wrastor is at the level he should be, then everyone else is too weak; however, it can not at all be the reverse where you just nerf Wrastor. If you just nerf Wrastor, he'll either be awful and the remaining issues don't change, or he'll just remain good and people will shift their complaints back to the other characters. In both outcomes, it at best will only get the majority's eye off of the character. I'd give Ranno his dair-bubble interaction back and fix Maypul's visual illusions; seems like people have a tough time keeping up with her because of how she actually LOOKS in the game... Sounds wild, but yes, I don't think it's the size of the character at all. Yes, I've seen sentiments for nerfing Ranno/Maypul especially, but y'all honestly should be toning up the other characters. Zett could benefit from f1 Fire Pulse, Fleet could use a moment where her Hover doesn't immediately drop her to the ground for instant uair to be more accessible, Clairen needs more incentive to run forward, Loxo could use a speed buff, Kragg could use a stronger kb on up-air overall, Orcane might just benefit from engine differences and be perfectly fine lowkey, and Forsburn just needs more hitstun on his strong cape hits or some other move (it doesn't need to always link, but you do need to always have a shot at reaction combos. I have a 140-160ms reaction time so I also already have taken the wide-scale complaints into consideration, as I know a lot of anger comes from the ignorance or stuff that just can't be reacted to. I'm recommending options for a better fight in the end; if you're overly concerned about "balance" or "bustedness", I firmly believe that platform fighters will only disappoint you towards the end of your life with the genre. I say this with pure disappointment in my heart too, as it seriously hurts to be a chronic approacher even when I do win. Love the game, not sold on this genre when most people aren't fighting anymore; it's very easy to play defense when every single platfighter is at least 55-45 campy-aggro; there was always defense to be had in direct confrontations, and I think this game has the best possible chance. I believe in Aether's devs wholeheartedly to make it all worth the wait, sorry that you're also dealing with the large multitude of platfighter communities clashing their beliefs as well. I understand I just threw my own opinion in the pot as well; I have a lot of love for Rivals 1 and Melee both, and I believe in 2 to capture the best of both worlds. also at 21:05, amazing recommendation for the basketball ranno LOL

11:15 bruuuh wtf i cant believe the game is stuck on server based only... is it gonna take a FIZZI level effort to get a online experience that doesn't depend on a middleman?

27:50 - custom palette creator. Problem solved 35:20 - i feel like custom palettes would be fine, and skin models should be prioritized for monetization

Will the Shine skin come back for Zetterburn

So many really good questions and answers. Sooooooo happy to hear that new player resources are being prioritized so heavily ❤ Also can't wait to get target practice available outside story mode

This was a great interview!! The transparency alone makes it feel like the consumer is apart of the development team, and that our support really does go along way. It’s more than a “cool cosmetic”, it’s funding the future of the game getting better.

32:24 that's me :3

playing the game with the dev while interviewing him is so goated lmao

Great interview thank you both for doing it.

This is awesome! I love the aether studio guys. They made the best platform fighter in 20+ years with a small team, are doing DLC right, and still take the time to do interviews with smaller channels. When I backed the game in Kickstarter I thought I'd play maybe 10 hours of the game total over the course of the first year but mostly play melee still. I didn't like rivals 1 but I also tried it in like 2018 when I was just getting into melee and was bad at wall jumping. So I just assumed it wouldn't be a game for me. Nah... Rivals 2 is my favorite right now. I truly can't wait to see what the game is like in a year. I want these guys to prove to the world that a good game can have free dlc. My biggest issue right now is there aren't enough skins. I have bought nearly all of them lol. Now I'm buying emotes and what not even though I'll probably never use them. Matt mentioned too many bundles. No no no keep adding bundles especially things like the starter pack where it's a few things but also a good deal for in game currency. Games have taught me buying the currency raw is the worst deal. When it's a bundle even if the value is technically the same it feels better to buy.

Rivals devs i freaking need that eldritch/hellish forsburn skin asap…

i hope they reconsider doing 1500 skins, the way they are right now is just too expensive for what youre getting imo. maybe move the secret higher tier skins into that pricerange. but once again imo paying 50 percent more for a little victory jingle is not worth it, especially since id want outros to be skippable like in every other fighting game.

Wow lots of info here, thanks for this

Im only 20 mins in but this interview is fantastic i really appreciate the transparency from the devs its very refreshing. Also as a fors main i need that skin ASAP

bruh sylvanos has to be a nightmare to make for animators with all the morphing he is doing.

You did a great job as an interviewer, and seeing this level of transparency from the dev team gives me a lot of hope for this game unlike others in the genre. I hope to see more content like this its great for the community and game as a whole

Good idea of a video, love the game. We neeeeeeed shovel knight at some point in the game!

cool interviewwwwww

21:51 Dat me c:

19:07 as a huge Awatsu fan, the answer to this specific question was a highlight of the interview for me! Even if we have to wait five or more years, just knowing that he could show up eventually means so much to me. Excellent interview, Ravn! Good on you for being such a great host and asking such great questions, and good on you Matt for being willing to be so transparent and giving really satisfactory answers without giving too much away! What a great watch!

7:45 Oh you bet your ass that I'll be splurging on the skins once I'm FINALLY debt free in January!

WOOOO

Great video really informative.

<.< Lets go Ravn! This is an awesome video!

Hell yeah

ppl like you is what made me fall in love with this game and community fr 💯💯

Yes, yes you do look like Bobby Lee. I started that argument. XD

WWWWW

I lost

BANGER

Barton Knolls

Hey this was awesome spent an hour looking through tutorials and your the only one that made sense :) probably bc no one pointed out that the specific skin color had to match up with the new one. Do you know how to change the csp? Yk the skin on the menu

thanks your the best

All the programs are working fine for me, the one issue I’m having is a lot of falco skins are Mac only downloads. How do you convert the skin files from Mac to windows? Could you just use any file converter? Or do you need another program like dattexturewizard to convert it and be animelee compatible?

Dude thank you so much! I'm just getting into using project clippi and this is a HUGE time save. Appreciate you

So.. if I use the same iso for slippi it works too?

how do i do csp's

Ok so I downloaded a spiky ear pichu mod, I import it and then I save..but whenever I go to use the spiky ear pichu mod..It wont show up and just gives me the defualt skin for pichu. is there a way to fix that so I can use the mod? EDIT: nvm I was using pikachu instead of pichu

Your voice reminds me a lot of Steve Blum
