    So hey, Granblue! Been a hot minute. Admittedly with so much going on in the FGC in the last few months I sorta fell off the Granblue train, but quite a few people told me I should take a look at Vikala, our latest Granblue DLC character and well here we are! This character is straight up Looney Tunes (in the best way) and really silly. Also out of nowhere poor Justin Wong gets jabbed at, such is Vikala's cruelty!

      Thanks so much for making a Granblue video! I know you've been busy so I felt bad asking but I thought you'd at least like the game's new characters each time they come out. Personally while I love her I'm waiting for 2.0 to give my girl Yuel some buffs, but Vicky is fun and it brought some people back to the game.
      Again, thanks so much for making this!

    It's nice to see you cover Granblue again, and great video by the way 👍 Anyway, I was a bit worried when they first showed Vikala's gameplay, since trappers/zoners are rarely for me, but I gave her a try and she's actually really fun. One of my first opponents also happened to be someone with over 14,000 played matches, and I was pretty happy when I actually managed to win a round against them. So yeah, I'll keep playing Vikala for a while, but I'll probably also play my usual characters: Zeta, Grimnir, and Lucilius.

    Thanks Roofle for drawing some attention to Granblue Rising. it is a really good game and deserves more attention.
    There have been a lot of developments with the patch 1.5 changing a lot of stuff, adding Versusia and flattening the tier lists a lot: most characters were buffed and most OP ones were reined down, so it is more balanced than ever.
    Vikala is a super fun homage to Disney theme park and animation stuff with idol mouse trappings, and even has the participation of the well known Vtuber Ironmouse, who gives the english voice to the Dormouse that helps Vikala in her fights.
    But she's not the only great character: there are many, from my main the immortal Alchemist sage turned cute girl, Cagliostro, to the LGBT wrestling icon Ladiva, or the most good natured Dark Knight, Vaseraga, among many others. Special mention to the 4th wall breaking Lowain, who delivers some of my favorite jokes in all the FGC. His humor is, at the same time, very well done, truly smart, and really funny, and also super extensive, because he has a different dialog for every opponent, both at the start of the match and in the end.
    There is really a lot to explore, in the lore, story, minigames, and of course in the razor sharp combat mechanics. It is my favorite FG at the moment, even surpassing my well loved Tekken, which I've been playing for more than 25 years, and the colossal SF6, the current gold standard for the genre.
    Seriously people, don't miss the discount offer for Granblue Rising, is is a really, really good game.

Honestly, you know, Street Fighter, Tekken, and even KOF a little bit are just, you know-they’re stealing our player base, effectively. And it’s really stupid. It’s toxic for the FGC overall, right?

    I can't believe Cygames put Justin easter egg in. 11/10 they have researched the FGC well.
    Her series of characters is a direct reference to Chinese Zodiac. Hence why she has a lot of rat related stuff and Anila is sheep/goat.
    Also despite being a comedy character, in Granblue lore she can actually ram through/destroy a building with her bare hands. She's really strong in the lore.

  • @YuuTheShikigami
    @YuuTheShikigami 7 дней назад

    Vikala, in lore, is the Zodiac Guardian of the North, as her title when you get her states. She is so far the only human, and being the Rat Zodiac, uses the hairband accessory to simulate them. As you can see on her intro, she is actually very shy and awkward socially, and developed the other persona for the stage based on her idealized self, which she can bring out with the headband for reasons unknown besides her own psyche doing so. The mousetrap is a sentient thing that serves the Rat Zodiac each generation, and it's called Dormouse. Any more questions about her, and I can try to help out sharing information.

      Granblue Rising is also one of the easiest to get in fighting games ever. Few, super clear mechanics, razor sharp resource management, a few deep knowledge checks being reined down already, no need for complex inputs but you still can use them if you prefer. The only difficult stuff is the large roster, but even then is very simple and fast to learn the relevant differences, and is never easy to master, so the challenge never fades.
