Rivals 1 has had a friggin sick even if small community, I'm glad to have been a part of it before the sequel ^~^ It kinda feels like, just big enough... And then rivals 2 is bringing in so many new people I bet this game is going to do amazing.
Sparking zero is cool but it's definitely a for fun game instead of competitive, the training mode is very barebones and it has no cross play or rollback yet.
The game has rollback netcode, though. The game is releasing only on one platform (Steam) initially, so you're technically right in saying there is no cross play. The eventual plan is to have console releases with cross play, but there's no guarantee they get around to that.
I can at least assure you the tech is much easier to perform than any other platform fighter. It isn't a bad one to start with, but you would have struggled no matter what.
Hey, welcome to Rivals! I went the opposite way, I started with Rivals and went into Ultimate, so I know the feeling. One of the biggest tips I can give you is to focus on your movement. Smooth movement is the biggest key in this game, because it can be used in so many different ways. Head into training mode and practice until you feel super comfortable, and you should be alright, but also, don't stress over your winrate. Rivals is a tough game, but with a calm mind, it becomes a lot easier to manage If you want some help improving, or have any questions about the game, feel free to ask myself or really anyone in the community! The people in the Discord are especially helpful, and can offer plenty of tips and tricks to get you properly started. And stick with it! This game offers a lot more skill expression than Ultimate 😄
coming from melee this game feels great, having a really good time. My one concern is that at the moment crouch canceling in rivals 2 is a bit insane, even compared to melee's insane crouch cancel mechanics
i played some rivals 1 a long ass time ago and have basically no other platfighter experience besides dicking around in smash 4 when i was younger. the skill gap between me and literally everyone i fight is so crazy, i tried ranked mode to get some people that were closer to my skill but it was more like they were 10x better than me instead of 20x
The smash player decided to be toxic the first match, haha Also, remember you have a parry, it is very useful with people that are trying to be always on your face.
The fact that Clairen's hits stun EVERY TIME; and that you can wobble like fucking ice climbers from melee (which ludwig should fucking know about since he played melee) disheartens me
you can't wobble unless the opponent lets you. aka if you are landing chain grabs, it means the opponent isn't teching your pummels, and if you are comboing the same move into itself over and over, it means the opponent isn't DIing and SDIing well
When you throw someone they experience a period of invulnerability to grabs. The only way to get past that invulnerability is to use a pummel first. That means the grabbed player has a chance to break out by guessing the right pummel
It's significantly less clunky than Ultimate, what are you smokin. dropping through those sticky smash ultimate platforms alone is enough to put RoA2 in the lead
Compared to melee or P+ there is a bit less depth or complexity. Put it up against almost any other platform fighter and it's quite a bit more complex. That "clunkiness" you mention is going to be dependent on the player and what games they have a background in. RoA 2 has a 6 frame input buffer. Melee and P+ have no buffer. Ultimate has a unique buffering system. Brawl and 4 have 10 frame buffers. Guilty Gear Xrd and Strive have 3 frame buffers. Going from one game to another with a large difference in input buffering often gives a feeling of "clunkiness" due to the buffering causing misinput where you don't want them or dropped inputs where another game's buffer would register them. In general, you just gotta play the game a bit and get used to it.
your krag mirror match > locking in > the spirituality with krag > heracross lore was so funny dude, lmao. glad you're having fun.

Project M lived on
finally my boy is back in the algorithm, glad to see you back

That’s kinda disappointing tbh, still a looks like a fun game tho
Unless they built it with rollback in mind, it’s probably never coming. It’s a lot of work and optimization
The game has rollback netcode, though. The game is releasing only on one platform (Steam) initially, so you're technically right in saying there is no cross play. The eventual plan is to have console releases with cross play, but there's no guarantee they get around to that.
have you guys ever played a Budokai Tenkaichi game? they've never been competitively viable and I'm confused why anyone would want them to be
they're talking about a different game @@mrnart_roa
In regards to the ledge play at 7:01 ; I think it’s called “ledge hogging”
bro ive been playing melee for 2 decades and i still get smoked. it is what it is
This game looks sick I might try it.
the demo is free :0
I’d defo give it a try while it’s free, just expect to be rolled 😭😭
@@3eeexton ive played roa1 since 2020 and im also getting cooked but for opposite reasons, i keep forgetting they can shield my things lmao
You're funny af, it's good to see this energy in fgc
Trying to make this my first platform fighter has been bruuutal
This game is very tech heavy I don’t blame you man
I can at least assure you the tech is much easier to perform than any other platform fighter. It isn't a bad one to start with, but you would have struggled no matter what.
"1nd placement set"
Mmmmmm more content for my mindless husk to consumeee

"ouchie"
"Heracross I choose you!"
"if you're an ultimate player struggling with this game, you are not alone" liked and subbed.
Bro’s gonna freak out when he sees Olympia’s moveset
Fun fact, there was a stage skin in RoA1 (Frost Gates) that had the music become more intense on a last stock situation. It was called Nihil Redux

2:36 auchieeee😂😂😂
Sparking Zero is gas tbh, there's more mechanical complexity than you would think.
such a smash player move to be toxic frame 1
It’s just a really good outta shield option
ayoooo ksi's ghostwriter!!!! I played you!!!!!!!!!
Did you kick my ass? 😭
@@3eeexton I’m so sorry
The smash player decided to be toxic the first match, haha

threeth? fourd?
The fact that Clairen's hits stun EVERY TIME; and that you can wobble like fucking ice climbers from melee (which ludwig should fucking know about since he played melee) disheartens me
Clairen has to space her moves properly to get that stun
you can't wobble unless the opponent lets you. aka if you are landing chain grabs, it means the opponent isn't teching your pummels, and if you are comboing the same move into itself over and over, it means the opponent isn't DIing and SDIing well

how does it feel to be capable of actually controlling your character?
The cut at 5:49 is top tier LMAO
this game looks really cool, but i play brawlhalla
Lowkey I play a lot of brawlhalla too and I feel like it transfers pretty well.
You can play two games! Or better yet, try the Rivals of Aether 2 demo for free this week and then decide if you want to give it any more of your time
@@christianchandler216 nah definitely not, Brawlhalla only really transfers into Muiltiversus and they both suck anyway
@@ennoluto why you gotta be like that bro. let them like their game
@@iknowwhereyoulive618 I suffered from the same affliction 😞😞😞 got 1.5k hours in brawlhalla
It looks fun but I can't help but feel like it's a clunkier smash with less complexity in interactions. The kos look easier too
I feel like it feels less clunky actually. Feels like I can actually control my character

This is way better than ultimate. Ult is a terrible competitive game
feels buttery smooth, way better than ultimate with the input lag it has, it's like a less complicated Melee.
