long time viewer here. i think one of the main reasons yba feels so different today than it does back then is simply because of how much larger it's become. it used have very simple graphics, easy to grasp mechanics, and a very nice feeling combat system. these days, that's all gone now. not to mention that with how convoluted and overpowered things are these days, it's even more of a hell for new players than it was prior. in all honesty, the game is still enjoyed by tens of thousands of people daily. but it's just that for myself, and many others, we aren't those people. and we aren't going to be. regardless, i hope uzu and the team still does well, as i can't deny the game is stunning visually and all. i just hope sometime that same spark it had before can be reignited. keep up the good work, big man.
Yeah the simplicity aswell as the feeling of playing such a good Jojo game back then is the main reason why it feels so different I'm also an old fan of his since his first twoh video and been playing since January 2020
i think another reason is how complicated the game is now, like a spec has the same amount of moves as a stand meaning u have to spend ages memorising every key on your keyboard just to be able to play 1v1's against sweaty players. at this rate specs are more so secondary stands having a barrage and all
i miss old yba, you may not see this, but i am incredibly greatful for everything you've done for YBA, i used to love the game, and you sometimes talking about how the game isn't as toxic as it seems really helped me as that was something i struggled with most, i'm glad that someone who's a good person like you got to the position you did instead of one of the toxic players, i can't possibly describe or thank you enough The good days
I literally started to smile and cry with emotion watching the flashbacks at 18:18 I used to play since 4 months after release like Eclipse and fell off after Crazy Diamond's rework update, I felt the game wasn't the same, it was good and all but... me and my friends wasn't enjoying playing as much as we did before, and we didn't know why at the time. Thanks for being my favorite youtuber since 2021, Eclipse. I met you through YBA, stayed for you. I like to see this video as a letter to YBA and it's community as a whole, seeing the good, the bad and the ugly from 3 years of YBA. I enjoyed watching your videos in the morning before playing with my friends at night, and now I enjoy watching your videos besides don't playing the game for months, and see what the fuck are the devs doing with those new stands and reworks. Thank you Eclipse, I see you next time.
Nothing nostalgically hits harder than remembering hopping on yba after school and fighting the entire server with my friends. We used to literally discuss plans on how to counter the meta stands and where in the map we could run to for cover. I used to run sf Hamon for fun and actually got decent with it. Despite there actually being better/worse stands, you could play every stand and do okay if you know what you’re doing with that stand’s playstyle. They took that uniqueness and replay ability out by just making every spec have a combo. There’s no more character to it, it’s just another good looking jojo game with combos. It’s really sad something so special and well built upon was just replaced by what made it stick out.
i started playing yba around 6 months after you did. my join date says it was in November, but i got the prestige 1 badge on October 5th, 2020. this video really resonated with me, especially the latter half of it. i do miss the days of the best combat out of any roblox anime game, the days of eclipse playing telephone with the devs or tuning into tournament livestreams. some of the moments from the last little bit of the video, i watched those videos as soon as they came out, and i remember laughing at whatever silly incident happened in the clip. even though new yba has so many pros to old yba, old yba still will be yba's prime. not just for gameplay, balance, effects, but also the memories and the state of the game and whatnot. i also remember the week of the heaven update which added made in heaven and twoh, the game had 100k players. it's so hard to believe that the game had over 100k players for a solid while. but, oh well. good video, i think you really conveyed your thoughts well. cheers, eclipse.
does anyone else remember that short length of time where m1s had enough stun to combo into each other which basically turned the game into another generic fighting game?
everything you said, but im too lazy to explain it. was a good memory. honestly the reworks, are for the worst.. the moves are spammy and take zero skill, even when they nerfed vamp its just really sucks, and i miss old combat and honestly for the longest time, i kept grinding skins (A LOT) and just lost my sanity, with bad ping, bad players, to the point where im just done. also a long time viewer.
I don’t remember the exact date but i started playing right before the steel ball run update, and i still remember how crazy the requiem stands were when they first came out. I walked up to a GER and asked him if he could kill me just to see the cutscene
I remember the days that I skipped school just to play yba with my best friend, JorgeAche, we played hours and hours, and he sadly passed away 5 months ago. I never heard his voice, and I did not even see his face. He was a discord friend... but he was the best. Sometimes, I play yba to keep his memory alive, I miss him so much... I love you, Jorge.
Sucks how hard the game has changed so fast, old players like me (started 2020) literally can NOT deal with the new stuff. This hits so hard since I saw the uprise of eclipse's youtube channel (saw him go from 400 to where he is now), and being on the same level as him in terms of combat skill and game knowledge, I had a lot of common understandings, laughs, and grievances with his videos. And this? This hits like a truck, because I couldn't agree any more than I can right now. YBA may be good for the newer generation players, but oldgens like us just lost the game we once loved
I started late 2020 I think. At least that’s what it says I joined in (even though it can be wrong). But at least I joined in a good time before all these new rib stands and over heaven stands. I even remember seeing MIH slowly evolve
100% agreed. I joined during the heaven update but i was a huge beginner to enjoy the heavenly stands tho the grind with friends was good. New yba is just so confusing and complex.
Started playing a bit before the heaven update, and I feel like a fish out a water trying to m1 trade. It makes me kinda sad to remember the day of KiLl TrAde is gone.
Damn the ending of this hit way harder than I was expecting, now that I'm in my 20s I'm starting to feel that way about lots of things including YBA. I was not expecting a "haha Eclipse is gonna rant about YBA again" video to turn into that 😭
the only way i see yba not having 90/100% combos is to just increase everyone's health cuz they aint fixing those 90% combos :( as someone who also has been here (yba) since the almost very beginning i miss how it was just something special you needed to have skill for before it became the shiny grinder/ autocombo simulator it is toady and i think that that is very sad
YBA... has changed. It's no longer about balanced movesets, free flow combat, or having fun. It's an endless series of gang wars fought by sweats and one-shot combo users. YBA - and it's production of skins - has become a well-oiled machine. YBA has changed. ID-tagged players carry ID-tagged stands, use ID-tagged specs. Hamon infusion inside their bodies enhances and regulates their damage output. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. YBA has changed. The age of Balance has become the age of Skins... All in the name of averting catastrophe from revenue drops. And he who controls the skins... Controls the players. YBA has changed. When the players are under total control... Unbalanced reworks become routine.
I also started playing almost three years ago, and I agree with most of what you said. However, I feel like skins themselves aren't really that detrimental to the game on paper, but in reality, people have gotten WAYYY too addicted to them. It's to the point that a majority of people don't even want to improve on their combat skills. It was way easier to find a competent opponent to play a fun 1v1 back then but nowadays hardly anyone is remotely decent at the game. I've already quit YBA for a few months, but some of my friends still play it and they can back me up on my claims. Another thing I don't agree about is the map change. Sure, I think that the map was a lot better than the old one. The main issue is though, it is a LOT laggier than the old one. For comparison, with the fps unlocker, I could manage to get 120+ fps on the old map in a vip server. Nowadays, I can barely manage 40. This may not be as big of a problem on other platforms, but we're talking about Roblox here. Most of the people playing aren't very old and are usually playing on low end laptops and phones or tablets. I know that the developers have put efforts into making it not such a laggy mess, but it just isn't enough. I agree with everything else though, and it's sad to see that the only aspects that made YBA stand above other games (mainly the combat) have just been ruined with 50% hp combos. It was rare to see a skin back then, and now it's become the norm. How good the balancing is right now is still quite similar to what it was back then (horrible of course), but I would argue it still feels worse right now. The combat used to be void of massive combos, which is what made it stand out in the first place, but now the new reworks are just riddled with huge true combos. I feel like it's just sad to see the original main attraction of the game being completely destroyed.
This video made me ALMOST tear up. The clips you showcased from back then brought the nostalgia as I recognized some of the clips from your previous videos. Not even just about YBA; if I could rewind time to when I was that happy, I would 😢
I remember playing YBA when the heaven update was released. Seeing YBA grow into the unbalanced but visually stunning gameplay (even though it makes it so laggy) is such a blast from the past and I can’t thank YBA enough because it was the only reason why I made such great friends. I love this game, as broken as it may get down the line, I love it with all my heart and I do wish that it will continue growing.
I was there a bit before the heaven update (basically when ribs came out) and I still feel nostalgia Gonna be 2 years after I joined (although join date can be innacurate)
Yba combat has changed a lot. Back then it was more simple because stands and specs where not that complicated but now most reworked stands has over 7 moves and specs are also really complex now
As another Content Creator who has been playing YBA since February 2020 I 100% agree I just feel like YBA lost is uniqueness simplicity and its actually great PVP, back then when you que up for ranked you wouldn't know what stand you would come across however now it's always the Stand Skin with the highest values (usually SP, KC, TW/TWOH, etc). I know nostalgia is a huge factor but the older specs (besides old Spin) complimented stands more rather than it being a second stand you know? I just feel like Uzu's trying to turn this game into some JoJo Blox Fruits which would be hella lame
I've been playing Mr President Hamon for a week now, and I noticed how FREE I could mash moves without getting punished. I can throw Zoom Punch, Scarlet Overdrive and Sendo Overdrive in neutral and not get punished with how giant the hitboxes are and how little endlag they have. Back then, throwing out Zoom Punch/Eye Gouge wildly was just gonna get your ass folded and lose half your hp with how small and commital they were. But landing them felt like you actually EARNED to land them. Eye Gouge was THE exemple of that : the longest spec stun in the game, but also the longest spec endlag and an extremely shitty hitbox. Landing it allowed you to confirm anything your stand have, with the only exception being lifeforms creation of GE/R and Road Roller, but missing it/having it cancelled meant your opponent could do that to you too and more. It was also extremely simple to keep track of cooldowns since every spec but Pluck had 3 moves at most.
@@vorachi yeah you described the old specs all too well. I like them, especially pluck... it's like a side dish in your fast food order and the stand being the main meal.
I thought this was going to be like one of those videos like reviewing a game, but no, this was much better than I thought. 20 minutes just about reminiscing over a game that's over 3 years old that i didn't even play very much with gameplay in the background and commentary over it was still entertaining to watch. This is why Eclipse has to be one of my favourite youtubers to watch any day of the week.
I feel like a way of balancing out the new reworks is increasing to maximum vitality rather than changing the damage of stands. If this is the route Uzukee is going to take with YBA from here on out, at least let us be able to survive the long combos
yeah increasing max vitality to 500 would 1. make vitality upgrades worth more health per 2. increase the "touch to kill" from just barely not one to a much more forgiving 4 *without* cutting back on the ridiculously long, dramatic combos that Uzu seems to be pushing for
@@tedtubegaming not only that but at least then fights will last longer. I feel they went in the right direction nerfing spec damage by 20% making them less of a second stand and an actual sub ability
i suggested that to paragon on the dc and he denied it saying it wouldnt solve problems long term he just said that certain abilites would still be better than other and ofc they will idk what he was saying there i think that change would be great
@@potato4049 Well it seems like a lazy move. Its basically the same as just decreasing all damage by 50%, except with the hp increase executes become much, much better, making the stands that have them op and the stands that lack them not good. Also, having a hp amount that goes above about 250 would completely go against how the game has been for ever since release (EXCEPT FOR VAMPIRE SUBSPECS EFFECTIVE HP, WHICH WAS BROKEN). But hey, thats just my view and you may think its good.
Having started at around the same date, the feeling of the game is definitely a lot different. That sort of jank was a real charming part of the game and despite the overall balance still being terrible even then, it almost felt more excusable in some ways. The game isn't unplayable for me or anything now -- I can still enjoy playing with some of the new stuff, but there's just a much different feeling in my gut when I hear a stand or rework is released today as compared to all that time ago. It felt a lot more, I donno, special for sure.
Finally. Someone put what everyone's been feeling into words. and dammit Matt, making me damn near cry at the end. I remember all those old videos coming out, watching them in discord calls with friends. I remember how that game used to make me memories. It just "isn't the same anymore" and I think that hurts more than the game straight up being gone.
Bro I would be getting ready for school in the morning and *bzzz* I had to watch all the videos as soon as they came out. From the build or bust to the 1 minute exploiter clips
The time I started playing YBA (keep in mind I've stopped playing now) was I believe nearly right next to initial release. I wasn't the FIRST to play it in any regard, but I do remember being there before SBR, Requiems, or Prestiges were even added. Rokakakas actually used to reset your level and you'd need to find a pure rokakaka which only reset your stand if you wanted to keep it. I watched YBA turn from a cool passion project that was original and enjoyable despite it's lackluster (at least, compared to the modern day) stands because, well, it was a passion project based on one of my favorite things to a corporate hellhole where all Uzu and the dev team seem to care about is money. The more popular YBA got, the more greedy the devs became until everything just... sucked. We have a game today that is devoid of all substance; what made it fun is long gone. No more new mechanics, no more new gamemodes, hell, we haven't even gotten a requiem past SPTW and Uzu promised that EVERY stand would have a requiem. I'm not saying old and simple is always good, but I think I'd prefer if all stands dropped their *visual* quality in favor of a backtrack to the fun and nostalgic feeling as well as FINALLY a decent update schedule. Also, why the hell does the storyline give you a requiem arrow?! What??? I remember working my butt off every single day in SBR and FINALLY after LITERAL DAYS beating SBR ONCE. In the past, SBR used to give you access to the requiem arrow; it was this whole quest thing with a lengthy but really rewarding process. You'd talk to the prestige master at prestige 3 in SBR, he'd give you a quest to simply beat SBR, you do so, and you get the ability to craft a requiem arrow at a different NPC for a hefty sum of money. I PREFERRED THAT SO MUCH. That last SBR game that gave me access to requiem was INSANE. Like seriously! The only requiem that was out was Gold Experience's (which at the time looked AWESOME compared to all the other stands) so I had Gold Experience and I would try for I think a whole MONTH to beat SBR. And that feeling when I got requiem was so amazing, it felt like I was a cut above the rest for all the hellish work I put in, that I actually accomplished something of worth. Aaaaaand of course they decide to make the end of the storyline give you requiem. What once was a super rewarding experience after beating SBR is now replaced with +1 pelvis and no other rewards except maybe money (I got Tusk Act 4 by literally inputting a code...) So yeah, sorry for ranting but basically what I mean is, YBA has lost all of it's original charm for me. It used to be a fun passion project, and now I can't really find any reason to play it anymore. It's a broken mess of terrible balancing and none of my friends want anything to do with it (hey, I see why). YBA just doesn't even feel like the same game anymore. And yes, drawing in children for hours on end just for them to get a slight remodel of a stand that they apparently really want IS scummy and it always has been. I've really always hated the idea of skins for that reason but obviously I won't rag on others for having them, in the end you're not FORCED to get skins since it's your choice if you want to grind for them. In summary, a lot of aspects may have improved a LOT, but it's never worth losing all of the original charm. I miss and will always miss the old YBA.
I agree Eclipse, the game has changed a ton since release. Gameplay has changed and the game has had many ups and downs in general. However, I’m glad we all had good times while they lasted.
Long time viewer ( I was in the king crimsion video bingo) and 2021 February player here Back then in 2021 ybas combat was MUCH more simpler, didnt have any cool effects, no flashy moves, just regular stand moves with pretty bad effects. Back then M1 Trades where actually important but now a days combat all matters about landing 1 move then doing 95 percent of your hp Specs where also pretty boring but also very simple to use, stands where also pretty fun but also the moves where simple I feel like yba now a days is just based off landing moves and other stuff I think uzus main goal here was to turn this game into a evolved jojo game I have mix feelings for this game now and Im proud that uzu decided to change the whole game Eclipse I do miss your tournament streams Build or bust videos stand reviews stand bingos wiping sbr with friends I really do miss the old times
Thank you so much for making this video everything you said in the later half of the video is exactly how i feel about yba. I used to be in a gang with a couple of people for a long time and ended up quiting yba for like 4 months due to personal reasons and i never really reconnected with them. I made some of my best memories with those guys.project, ginge, epixgamer, cheesecake, this is fixer.if you see this i wont ever forget you guys i cant reach u in in discord cuz i lost my old account but i really loved playing with all of you. Those midnight gang wars were sick 😂
This made me happy to read. Sure its sad that they're gone, but seeing somone make memories other people would never normally have is such a powerful thing. To old yba 🍻
The game kinda lost its uniqueness especially in combat, the old days of doing m1s trades are no more instead you mash alot of moves and win and stands just dont feel valuable anymore which may or may not be a good thing to some people
@@weedGatopretty much every new/reworked stand/spec has atleast 1 combo starter with low cooldown and no endlag, that can be thrown out with no fear of getting punished.
I know I'm 4 months late to commenting on this video, but I remember a time when rokakaka would reset all your characters progress, meaning the only way to get new stands was pures or you restarted the story line and went back to level 1. my friend found this game one night at like 12am or something, and we both agreed the combat looked really fun, it's actually what drew us into playing yba. when we joined you could double barrage with hamon and stands making it the most busted thing in the game, and as time went on we loved playing the game. I was never good at the game but I still enjoyed losing because the combat was fun and the only thing I could blame was myself for being bad, and also my macbook air from 2015. While I'm not the biggest fan of current YBA, I never really was a big fan of the game. I'd have fun playing. but my list of games I play outside roblox is Devil may cry and DBFZ, so having combos that look cool and flashy now never really makes me think about how unbalanced it is. if I go to play a roblox game I'm playing it to have the most turn your brain off fun I can have. anything that happened to the game wouldn't affect me so much because I never went too deep into the rabbit hole of YBA's balance and stuff because I'd turn my brain off, I kinda skirted on the outside occasionally dipping in to see what's new or what's happening and then I'd leave again. Even as I write this I'm in the middle of trying to skin farm for golden frieza red hot chilli pepper, because I am a dragon ball fan. and once i've got that, I probably won't log back on and do something else instead. While it's sad to see how far the games fallen, it just doesn't hit me as hard compared to others.
I remember when YBA was released, ABD was the popular game at the time and I would tell my brother how YBA is gonna be the next big JoJo Roblox game. (I’m talking when it was in BETA)
Each time hearing the re:zero (straight bet) song that used to play in YBA main game long time ago, lots of memories of the games run through my mind..
Everything explained in this video represents my feelings towards the current state of this game so well. And that last bit at the end with the old YBA music and the old clips really hit hard for someone like me who’s been playing for almost 3 years and has been a fan of yours ever since the first YBA video.
Thanks for everything you do Eclipse. I've been watching ever since I joined YBA in mid 2020 and I have branched out into more of your content as well. All of the games that I play would feel massively different without having your input and reactions to them. You helped me get into so many games (Mostly Subnautica) and left a huge impact on how I approach situations in-game and out. Truly, Thank you for all of your hard work.
I havent played YBA in years (last time was prolly a quick login to check out the new map). It isn't even the same game, everything is just so different all the stands have like 6 moves plus the 6 from fighting styles. I remember playing hour long gangwars with friends I met online and SBR without ever getting bored. Its all really sad tbh.
The combat has changed so much that AUT might actually be better after some time, the thing that separated them was the fact blocking, parrying and M1ing were wayyyy more important than in AUT, with the combat rework and recent spec and stands reworks in YBA Aut might have a chance of surpassing it, because if they balance the stat points the heat mechanic makes fighting better, since you need to land hits before peforming your 100-0 combo
yeah but at least in yba you can barrage out of the combo, in aut once you get hit with a singular stun when your enemy has half a bar you are done and you die
Am I wrong to enjoy this game, even with all the mess that happened ? I mean I don't know how people feel nostalgic about the old yba, or how they liked the old mecanics, there was sometimes that I complained about some bugs or some unbalanced mecanics on the pvp. But above all of that I think I still enjoy it and I don't get it why people like eclipse or some old players doesn't like this game anymore. Am I missing something, is there something wrong that I haven't noticed ? After watching this video I kinda understand how it feels for an old player to experience all thoses changes. Sadly I don't have that feeling since I joined the game recently around in june 2021, and the stone free update happened around july or august. And I have been playing this game for like 2 years already (of course I don't play it every day I have a life after all). The scary monsters reworked made me hype but as soon as I realize how unbalanced it is. I mean sure u can still defeat it if you know it's mechanics, as well for vampire. But yet, you don't need to use your brain to understand how you should fight. This is why Instead of spamming the special attacks on my keyboard, I try to play fairly by using my mouse as a main source of damage (only if the enemy doesn't run). I'm glad to see how the game evolves in terms of visuals and mecanics, but It doesn't mean it's all perfect. All what I do is that I enjoy the game as much as I can, even with all the future updates that will change the game.
I think the main reason playing yba feels different than it used to is not just because of the game changes anymore. I believe we all have changed a fair bit since the time we started playing yba and maybe grown out of it. It is not that easy for a game built in a kid's platform to sustain the charm it had for players that have since grown older anyway. Having said all that, I miss the good old times as much as the next person.
ive literally been here ever since yba released, I remember getting star platinum on my first arrow lol. fr tho coming from a guy who played YBA since release and a fan of yours since you had around 200 subscribers, its a shame how much the game has changed, its like a whole new game now and it no longer had its charm that it once had before. i remember dominating main game with twoh and killing people in sbr with my friends having a blast but now it just wont feel the same knowing about the newer PVP of one shotting everyone. and if you're not playing the game for that its just a grindfest for skins that wont do you any good in the long run. yba has changed, and in my opinion, for the worse. I quit YBA around 2 months before the Stone Free update, then came back to it on April of this year, and I feel like I'm a literal noob when I was clearly not. every stand that releases nowadays is always so broken and then pairing that with a spec increases the craziness by ten fold. effects cover up your whole screen, still no new gamemodes, and more. back then, yba had a terrible balancing, but it had a charm to it that many of you guys can probably agree with me on. the PVP was stupid but in a good way. i miss being one comboed by a twoh or sptw. i miss ger yoinking all my health because of scorpion and barrage. i miss the infinite speed on mih... (actually idk about that one) anyways, on a real note I truly miss yba. clearly its now out of its golden age and onto its modern era. but ill forever miss the good old days... arigato, yba.
I used to play a lot of yba around 2-3 years ago, I remember how hard it was for me back then to win fights. I made a lot of friends and even a whole gang just so we could help each other, especially in sbr. It was a lot of fun since we actually needed to use our brains and think of ways to win the game, but now that's all gone.
I was first introduced to YBA in the middle of March 2020 by one of my cousin's friends. And then when my cousin joined we immediately loved YBA. Almost every single day my cousin would ask me if I wanted to play YBA and we would have a great time fighting against each other and other players and playing in SBR. When the Stone Free update was released most of my friends left the game. Me and my cousin were the only ones still playing. After a while, my cousin dropped the game. Then it was me. Now I don't even play the game anymore. It's so sad to see a game I used to play all the time become this. Even though I still have frustrating issues with YBA I'm glad that I got to hold on to the memories of when I played with my cousin.
I have been watching since the start, I remember I would always check out your new videos right when you uploaded, I would hop on YBA nearly everyday to play, and I would generally have so much fun and many laughs. I miss the old days and the old YBA. I also nearly cried at the end part, I started playing right around when you did too, and to see all of those memories and flashbacks from your previous videos was just so nice, I used to recommend this game to alot of my friends and we would enjoy it together. And Eclipse, you have done a huge impact on this community, a great one, you practically saved the game with your content, events, messages to staff and it was just great. This is a very great video and I would like to say I just miss the old YBA and the old fun. Thank you Eclipse, Thank you for everything.
I just got off of playing YBA after not playing the game for a year, I’ve been playing this game from almost the games first release and it is crazy how much has changed for more over the worse in my opinion. There’s a lot of great quality of life and other things but just the game itself has changed so much, YBA used to be the Jojo game people played because it was different, it wasn’t a skin farm sim ability spam game you had chains and bread and butters, now it’s just like any other jojo game idk if you should even engage in m1 combat unless you have one of the new specs that can do everything. The sheer amount of moves as well is so much you have the now 5 spec moves (maybe more I’m not sure) and your stand moves which is so much to even juggle on the keyboard like using vampire with a stand like killer queen is near impossible with how many keybinds you need for all the abilities. The sheer amount of those keybinds is just a symbolism for how much the game has changed it’s just so bloated with all the stands and bugs that have not been prioritized because of the new skins and the new design philosophy as there’s no way they can not be knowing what they’re doing when they make some of these stands and specs. The game has just now been bloated with all the effects and the lack of drive to make the game good and it’s sad to see it become this.
Well yes, It's changed but I don't see how the Negatives you've told can apply? Maybe if you argumented over the actual problems Instead of saying "YBA ISNT BALANCED BECAUSE IM TRASH" How about you speak about the fact that Paragon hasnt stopped admin abusing ever since 2022? Damn. You do no good for the community, just pressure Uzukee....
damn the memories……… 18:26 I rokaed my twoh and got it back video, it was because of the donations on stream lol 18:30 if I lose a game, I’ll run a mile, using hierophant green and ger lol 18:35 if I run into a broken server, I do 10 push ups, lollll old yba broken servers 18:46 if I run into a kill trader, the video end.

I started playing yba around a month later after the heaven update, and therefore started watching yba contents. Bam eclipse showed up in my recommendations, and hence my journey with yba and eclipse started there. Somehow I enjoyed the game the most when I just joined and sucked, and during the period of time where bunch of bugs werent fixed. Kc impale combo, twohs jaw breaker into smite and ts true combo, sptw ora kicks into ts, bullshit scr, sub specs and so on. I really do relate to “it was such a mess back then but now I really miss that mess”. since half a year ago or even longer ago, I haven’t enjoy playing yba for a long long time. I guess the yba I used to know is really gone
I've been watching Eclipse for as long as I can remember. The Old yba days were so messy but the good kind, the new yba players could never understand. I'm a former yba god, though just a random person you've probably met in the old yba I was equal to or better than many youtubers such as Eclipse who was equal to me. Some youtubers I have beaten include GamerTiny, Gohanhino (former yba player) and much more youtubers and as lucky I was to meet them it was even more fun to play with them and find out what kind of person they are. But as the game changed and I was still behind on the meta I learned it was time to let go and let the other players shine. (Totally not because I got hacked and they erased 50k robux worth of gamepasses so I quit yba for a year then I come back to find out it's way too different for me to catch up on)
Eclipse finally spoke up about how this isn't the game many of us used to play anymore. I used to come home from school and play with my friends, sometimes we would get ganged up on by rkers and sometimes we ganged up on the rkers but it was the inperfection that made it perfect in my heart. R.I.P OG YBA!!!!!!❤
I sucked at old yba combat,but i liked being bad,learning how to use stands and tusk spamming those we're one of the best times i've had in roblox, even if it was 1 year of a lack of content i enjoyed it,no balance changes,no New stands it's just me vs every overpowered stand (Includin scr) and i loved it,Until yba became old aut..all the stands May look good but they're mostly overpowered with a 1 shot combo and stuff it's unbalanced,and it's not fun to play against. I can squeeze out a few laughs every now and then but to be honest I miss that 1 year update drought
I actually feel bad for Eclipse, he has to make videos on this game because RUclips is his job and YBA is the only thing that gets many views. This was maybe not a big problem back then because he loved the game. But now the same game he and many of us played and made great memories in, is gone. And he is being punished for loving a good game that is now ruined by it's developer, something completely out of his control...
To be honest I don’t play Yba anymore cuz of the crashing it does. Also Roblox don’t take much phone storage but when I play Yba it’s take 60% of and make me go nuts
Hey Eclipse, I'm a mediocre'ish Roblox developer and I also loved playing old yba and I miss it. Would you be interested if I ever started project similar to old yba?
This game is fun, but not as fun as it use to be. I'm happy that Uzu is doing his best on updates but some the reworks so far are op, Sm is just one example to much stuns and very easy auto combo output. I sorta miss the old m1 trade days. Also Yba player are now toxic as hell, they just spam ez after the most shitest win possible. game ain't the same no more.
New yba just doesent feel the same anymore and so does the community inside of it,now everyone only cares about skins or trading in the game and i dont see the fun in that,i wish the game kept it charm but uzu just made it worse and honestly ill think it probably would make newer players go away too and honestly skins ruined the game as a whole,back then when they werent a thing the main focus was just fun pvp with people and having gang wars but ever since skins got added it felt like everyone just shifted their focus even me to getting them and now i understand why most people arent having fun now
I got banned for "exploiting" and their only proof was a picture of me not loading in properly (I play mobile so my loading sucks sometimes) and when I went to the discord to try and get it appealed they ignored me and banned me from the discord without any warning
We really are due for a new Roblox jojo experience... one that isn't combo-dependent and unpunishable but also is not bland, like half the other games.
Man, YBA is quite the game… I’ve been playing since around June 2021, and I used to be pretty good at the game. I’d run almost every stand/spec combo you could think of, but I remember my favorites being Star Platinum boxing, Hierophant Green Hamon and MIH Boxing. I made a lot of memories in this game, and after the white album rework I was having fun with it but got a nasty feeling that YBA might devolve into a combo f*ck fest where you land a single move and your opponent dies. After the vamp rework I knew my fears were true and the game I had once loved so much had become a combo fest with almost zero game balance. I still occasionally play, but now I’ll see people pull off combos that do all of your hp and it just makes me sad knowing what the game once was. I only started watching around September 2023 because I wanted nostalgia for old YBA and I stuck with the channel. I may not be a long time viewer but I am a long time player, and it feels bad to see what was once my favorite game become this sh*thole Uzu turned it into.
I saw the start and yba "death" i stopped playing at the same time as eclipse... and i feel just the same as him the game i loved is gone FOREVER to me hope is lost 😞 the errors uzu made were the reason i loved the game over powered stands were feared, now people dont even use the plane stand no more
8:21 leave a year without updates, and a comunity screams. so imagine Team Fortress 2 players that had to wait 6 years for an update, just for the update to ad seals (i like seals tho).
Bruh same. I used to play this game so much, I stuck with purple haze vampire till the end, discovered new strategies and even got to the #100 PvP spot. Now that things are changing, I feel like I’m unable to really enjoy this game as much anymore due to the changing meta and rapid speed that I didn’t have to deal with in the past. Furthermore, people don’t even play this game to get the stand they want anymore. They just farm skins all day. It’s getting harder to adapt and really enjoy this game as much as I could before to the point where I stopped playing YBA entirely and only on rare occasions with my friends. I miss you YBA 😢
i remember starting yba around like 2020, i didnt understand the game much so i jus quit after getting like 2 levels. Somewhere around mid 2020 i joined back and began playing, i always quit for around 6 months or more and then start playing for 2-3 months. its a cycle, you cant escape YBA.
Back in old yba. It was nice to play for fun. Now everyone just plays for something. Either skin, item, stand, etc. Nobody has fun playing. They just care about winning, and playing dirty.
@@garysteinfield4623 Nah. Go to a server and try to RK. Look at the people you fight. Look at how they fight, and how they talk. For a normal person who plays very little and goes in to have fun. Its hard to survive against people who have no life and play everyday. And they feel justified in doing so.
@@garysteinfield4623 Not even rkers. Thats just what everyone does in the game. Even though nobody wants to admit it. But basically anytime you want to fight people in a kill game, just watch how it plays out. Back then it used to be click, wait, and time. Now its just, "if the keyboard doesnt break when you press the keys for your combos, then you will never win the battle".
the spirit of the game is just gone now. I think with things like trading skins and the new visual effects that are enough to give people epileptic seizures along with each new stand or rework having like 8 moves is slowly turning yba into aut. the peak of yba was when skins were just cosmetics and there was no trading because it let people focus more on the combat and actually have the spirit to get better at it. now its almost impossible for new players and returning players like me to do that because there are just way too many confusing cutscenes visual effects and moves. please uzu at least bring back old specs as a different option to purchase so people can choose between new and old (e.g: when u buy boxing u can choose between boxing v1 and boxing v2)
Even though the current YBA is 'fine' it does not feel nowhere near as fun or 'balanced' as it used to be. Old YBA was not balanced at all but nor is the new YBA. I feel as if somewhere in the midway of its lifespan was it the most 'fair' but even when broken as hell, it was still so fun. Eclipse, if you are reading this, you are incredibly enjoyable to watch no matter what content you make. Thank you for being such a fun and relatable youtuber... Also, I just want to say that there is a OST in the game that used to play (I still think it does) called 'made in abyss: forever lost', please listen to it! It involves huge YBA nostalgia! Thank you, Eclipse... and thank you Old YBA. I miss you, old YBA.
I thought I was alone with how I felt about this. I was starting to believe that I truly was unreasonable with quitting. I mean, what was I thinking, it’s the same game, right? I said those exact words on your end screen, Eclipse.
Rip to the game that I loved Aswell and the friends I made and abandoned because of it. I'll never get back those few years of practically wasted effort and time but I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
The song when the community section kicks in makes me sad, because i also enjoyed playing on the old yba times, even if it was messy, it was better than the button mash we know as yba nowadays, i always loved spawning near the train station, i always loved the old map, when yba was accesible for everyone and not tryhardy people where just used a certain messy meta where the injustice happen, i started playing yba since 2021 and i miss those days, where i could get excited about getting some cool stand or skin, my first skin, star platinum stone ocean, even if it was just a purple sptw, i loved it. because it conected me with all of the comunity ingame now.. whenever i join yba, i just expect some toxic bs with some broken stand or spec, not those old but yet funny to use due to the lack of powerful moves, it was messy. but a balanced mess i once used to love now broken by the decitions of making the game more professional, polished, and broken just to hype the community
Yeah, I also remember the wacky but good times in YBA. Especially when using GER back then was way more fun than now imo. When scorpion barrage was a thing, counter startup being annoying but kinda funny, being able to stand on the tree, awakening turning you into a literal terminator, etc. Btw you should have included the old clip where you killed a TWOH with hermit purple. I found that clip super funny! Great video though and nostalgic :)
the best feeling from old yba was when you got randomly ganged up on and you call your friends over to absolutely demolish them and that feeling always made me like the game
Them gangs always pissed me off, and the release when I manage to make them rage quit with twoh was great. The game isn't fun like that anymore, the only thing I did after retrying the game was anger a gang and block myself in pizzeria and use d4c:lt to teleport me and my friend out when the wall broke
In the balance section, Eclipse forgot the phawking Double Barrage strats, i remember the time When i used Scr's arrow barrage with Aerosmith's bullet barrage, plus a Hierophant Green's emerald splash,the damages were so high, we were all hamon too, so one shots were numerous. god i miss the old times. ahahahahah!
The end part of this video gave me a huge sense of nostalgia, though timewise it might have not been that far long ago yba has changed SOOO much since this
As someone who started playing the game because of you, i am with you, i miss the old game so much. Also thank you for being an amazing member of the community, with the hours you spent trying to help this game be as good as its potential showed.
Not much except for that movesets have become more spamming and qol changes this is mostly about nostalgia. I miss the memories of when I avidly played yba 2020-2021 but I do not let that cloud my judgement
long time viewer here.
i think one of the main reasons yba feels so different today than it does back then is simply because of how much larger it's become.
it used have very simple graphics, easy to grasp mechanics, and a very nice feeling combat system.
these days, that's all gone now.
not to mention that with how convoluted and overpowered things are these days, it's even more of a hell for new players than it was prior.
in all honesty, the game is still enjoyed by tens of thousands of people daily.
but it's just that for myself, and many others, we aren't those people.
and we aren't going to be.
regardless, i hope uzu and the team still does well, as i can't deny the game is stunning visually and all.
i just hope sometime that same spark it had before can be reignited.
keep up the good work, big man.
Yeah the simplicity aswell as the feeling of playing such a good Jojo game back then is the main reason why it feels so different I'm also an old fan of his since his first twoh video and been playing since January 2020
It’s true, I miss the old map so much, it was so damn simple and the room where u get vamp spec was cool.
im also in the same boat i think they should release a version of the old game with the old map for the players who love it so
i think another reason is how complicated the game is now, like a spec has the same amount of moves as a stand meaning u have to spend ages memorising every key on your keyboard just to be able to play 1v1's against sweaty players. at this rate specs are more so secondary stands having a barrage and all
i think the combat has much more combo extenders and increased stun on everything now making it best to just use broken 80% health combos
i miss old yba, you may not see this, but i am incredibly greatful for everything you've done for YBA, i used to love the game, and you sometimes talking about how the game isn't as toxic as it seems really helped me as that was something i struggled with most, i'm glad that someone who's a good person like you got to the position you did instead of one of the toxic players, i can't possibly describe or thank you enough

I used to play since 4 months after release like Eclipse and fell off after Crazy Diamond's rework update, I felt the game wasn't the same, it was good and all but... me and my friends wasn't enjoying playing as much as we did before, and we didn't know why at the time.
Thanks for being my favorite youtuber since 2021, Eclipse. I met you through YBA, stayed for you. I like to see this video as a letter to YBA and it's community as a whole, seeing the good, the bad and the ugly from 3 years of YBA. I enjoyed watching your videos in the morning before playing with my friends at night, and now I enjoy watching your videos besides don't playing the game for months, and see what the fuck are the devs doing with those new stands and reworks.
Thank you Eclipse, I see you next time.

I like how I keep farming level and then reset my level just for rolling a new stand when playing yba that time 💀
hop on a bizarre day
Damn
Nothing nostalgically hits harder than remembering hopping on yba after school and fighting the entire server with my friends. We used to literally discuss plans on how to counter the meta stands and where in the map we could run to for cover. I used to run sf Hamon for fun and actually got decent with it. Despite there actually being better/worse stands, you could play every stand and do okay if you know what you’re doing with that stand’s playstyle. They took that uniqueness and replay ability out by just making every spec have a combo. There’s no more character to it, it’s just another good looking jojo game with combos. It’s really sad something so special and well built upon was just replaced by what made it stick out.
i started playing yba around 6 months after you did. my join date says it was in November, but i got the prestige 1 badge on October 5th, 2020. this video really resonated with me, especially the latter half of it. i do miss the days of the best combat out of any roblox anime game, the days of eclipse playing telephone with the devs or tuning into tournament livestreams. some of the moments from the last little bit of the video, i watched those videos as soon as they came out, and i remember laughing at whatever silly incident happened in the clip. even though new yba has so many pros to old yba, old yba still will be yba's prime. not just for gameplay, balance, effects, but also the memories and the state of the game and whatnot. i also remember the week of the heaven update which added made in heaven and twoh, the game had 100k players. it's so hard to believe that the game had over 100k players for a solid while. but, oh well. good video, i think you really conveyed your thoughts well. cheers, eclipse.
does anyone else remember that short length of time where m1s had enough stun to combo into each other which basically turned the game into another generic fighting game?
everything you said, but im too lazy to explain it. was a good memory.
honestly the reworks, are for the worst..
the moves are spammy and take zero skill, even when they nerfed vamp its just really sucks, and i miss old combat
and honestly for the longest time, i kept grinding skins (A LOT) and just lost my sanity, with bad ping, bad players, to the point where im just done.
also a long time viewer.
I don’t remember the exact date but i started playing right before the steel ball run update, and i still remember how crazy the requiem stands were when they first came out. I walked up to a GER and asked him if he could kill me just to see the cutscene
@@johnsai4074 yeah that was horrible since they also still did 10 damage per hit
The join dates are bugged and only go as far back as november sadly
I remember the days that I skipped school just to play yba with my best friend, JorgeAche, we played hours and hours, and he sadly passed away 5 months ago. I never heard his voice, and I did not even see his face. He was a discord friend... but he was the best. Sometimes, I play yba to keep his memory alive, I miss him so much... I love you, Jorge.
Remember mate. Heroes. Never. Die
Sucks how hard the game has changed so fast, old players like me (started 2020) literally can NOT deal with the new stuff. This hits so hard since I saw the uprise of eclipse's youtube channel (saw him go from 400 to where he is now), and being on the same level as him in terms of combat skill and game knowledge, I had a lot of common understandings, laughs, and grievances with his videos.
And this? This hits like a truck, because I couldn't agree any more than I can right now. YBA may be good for the newer generation players, but oldgens like us just lost the game we once loved
i still like it …
been playing since before anubis and magicians red reworks btw
I started late 2020 I think. At least that’s what it says I joined in (even though it can be wrong). But at least I joined in a good time before all these new rib stands and over heaven stands. I even remember seeing MIH slowly evolve
100% agreed. I joined during the heaven update but i was a huge beginner to enjoy the heavenly stands tho the grind with friends was good. New yba is just so confusing and complex.
@@Walkingcheese967 I joined a bit before that

Damn the ending of this hit way harder than I was expecting, now that I'm in my 20s I'm starting to feel that way about lots of things including YBA. I was not expecting a "haha Eclipse is gonna rant about YBA again" video to turn into that 😭
the only way i see yba not having 90/100% combos is to just increase everyone's health cuz they aint fixing those 90% combos :( as someone who also has been here (yba) since the almost very beginning i miss how it was just something special you needed to have skill for before it became the shiny grinder/ autocombo simulator it is toady and i think that that is very sad
YBA... has changed. It's no longer about balanced movesets, free flow combat, or having fun. It's an endless series of gang wars fought by sweats and one-shot combo users. YBA - and it's production of skins - has become a well-oiled machine. YBA has changed. ID-tagged players carry ID-tagged stands, use ID-tagged specs. Hamon infusion inside their bodies enhances and regulates their damage output. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. YBA has changed. The age of Balance has become the age of Skins... All in the name of averting catastrophe from revenue drops. And he who controls the skins... Controls the players. YBA has changed. When the players are under total control... Unbalanced reworks become routine.

I also started playing almost three years ago, and I agree with most of what you said. However, I feel like skins themselves aren't really that detrimental to the game on paper, but in reality, people have gotten WAYYY too addicted to them. It's to the point that a majority of people don't even want to improve on their combat skills. It was way easier to find a competent opponent to play a fun 1v1 back then but nowadays hardly anyone is remotely decent at the game. I've already quit YBA for a few months, but some of my friends still play it and they can back me up on my claims.
Another thing I don't agree about is the map change. Sure, I think that the map was a lot better than the old one. The main issue is though, it is a LOT laggier than the old one. For comparison, with the fps unlocker, I could manage to get 120+ fps on the old map in a vip server. Nowadays, I can barely manage 40. This may not be as big of a problem on other platforms, but we're talking about Roblox here. Most of the people playing aren't very old and are usually playing on low end laptops and phones or tablets. I know that the developers have put efforts into making it not such a laggy mess, but it just isn't enough.
I agree with everything else though, and it's sad to see that the only aspects that made YBA stand above other games (mainly the combat) have just been ruined with 50% hp combos. It was rare to see a skin back then, and now it's become the norm. How good the balancing is right now is still quite similar to what it was back then (horrible of course), but I would argue it still feels worse right now. The combat used to be void of massive combos, which is what made it stand out in the first place, but now the new reworks are just riddled with huge true combos. I feel like it's just sad to see the original main attraction of the game being completely destroyed.
bruh i thought i already commented on this LOL
agreed
bro these people collect skins like they're nfts
This video made me ALMOST tear up. The clips you showcased from back then brought the nostalgia as I recognized some of the clips from your previous videos. Not even just about YBA; if I could rewind time to when I was that happy, I would 😢

@@TheReal_KitCat but it would never be the same though
@@TheReal_KitCatfunny how you kinda predicted that except it was not uzu
Yba combat has changed a lot. Back then it was more simple because stands and specs where not that complicated but now most reworked stands has over 7 moves and specs are also really complex now
As another Content Creator who has been playing YBA since February 2020 I 100% agree
I just feel like YBA lost is uniqueness simplicity and its actually great PVP, back then when you que up for ranked you wouldn't know what stand you would come across however now it's always the Stand Skin with the highest values (usually SP, KC, TW/TWOH, etc).
I know nostalgia is a huge factor but the older specs (besides old Spin) complimented stands more rather than it being a second stand you know? I just feel like Uzu's trying to turn this game into some JoJo Blox Fruits which would be hella lame
Vorachi
I've been playing Mr President Hamon for a week now, and I noticed how FREE I could mash moves without getting punished. I can throw Zoom Punch, Scarlet Overdrive and Sendo Overdrive in neutral and not get punished with how giant the hitboxes are and how little endlag they have.
Back then, throwing out Zoom Punch/Eye Gouge wildly was just gonna get your ass folded and lose half your hp with how small and commital they were. But landing them felt like you actually EARNED to land them. Eye Gouge was THE exemple of that : the longest spec stun in the game, but also the longest spec endlag and an extremely shitty hitbox. Landing it allowed you to confirm anything your stand have, with the only exception being lifeforms creation of GE/R and Road Roller, but missing it/having it cancelled meant your opponent could do that to you too and more. It was also extremely simple to keep track of cooldowns since every spec but Pluck had 3 moves at most.
@@vivelespatat2670 exactly, all the strategic pvp is lost and i heavily miss the simple but effective gameplay it used to have
@@vorachi yeah you described the old specs all too well. I like them, especially pluck... it's like a side dish in your fast food order and the stand being the main meal.
Stop crying and give a better arguments then this
I thought this was going to be like one of those videos like reviewing a game, but no, this was much better than I thought. 20 minutes just about reminiscing over a game that's over 3 years old that i didn't even play very much with gameplay in the background and commentary over it was still entertaining to watch. This is why Eclipse has to be one of my favourite youtubers to watch any day of the week.
I feel like a way of balancing out the new reworks is increasing to maximum vitality rather than changing the damage of stands. If this is the route Uzukee is going to take with YBA from here on out, at least let us be able to survive the long combos
yeah increasing max vitality to 500 would
1. make vitality upgrades worth more health per
2. increase the "touch to kill" from just barely not one to a much more forgiving 4 *without* cutting back on the ridiculously long, dramatic combos that Uzu seems to be pushing for
@@tedtubegaming not only that but at least then fights will last longer. I feel they went in the right direction nerfing spec damage by 20% making them less of a second stand and an actual sub ability
i suggested that to paragon on the dc and he denied it saying it wouldnt solve problems long term he just said that certain abilites would still be better than other and ofc they will idk what he was saying there i think that change would be great
@@potato4049 Well it seems like a lazy move. Its basically the same as just decreasing all damage by 50%, except with the hp increase executes become much, much better, making the stands that have them op and the stands that lack them not good. Also, having a hp amount that goes above about 250 would completely go against how the game has been for ever since release (EXCEPT FOR VAMPIRE SUBSPECS EFFECTIVE HP, WHICH WAS BROKEN). But hey, thats just my view and you may think its good.
@@cencordduetocringe the new move sets go also against how the game was
Having started at around the same date, the feeling of the game is definitely a lot different. That sort of jank was a real charming part of the game and despite the overall balance still being terrible even then, it almost felt more excusable in some ways. The game isn't unplayable for me or anything now -- I can still enjoy playing with some of the new stuff, but there's just a much different feeling in my gut when I hear a stand or rework is released today as compared to all that time ago. It felt a lot more, I donno, special for sure.
It's so cool how eclipse went back in time to record footage for this video; the dedication is crazy!
The game isn’t worse, it’s in fact better, we just miss the nostalgia
It isn't as popular anymore tho
Finally. Someone put what everyone's been feeling into words. and dammit Matt, making me damn near cry at the end. I remember all those old videos coming out, watching them in discord calls with friends. I remember how that game used to make me memories. It just "isn't the same anymore" and I think that hurts more than the game straight up being gone.
Bro I would be getting ready for school in the morning and *bzzz* I had to watch all the videos as soon as they came out. From the build or bust to the 1 minute exploiter clips

i forgot about yba
The time I started playing YBA (keep in mind I've stopped playing now) was I believe nearly right next to initial release. I wasn't the FIRST to play it in any regard, but I do remember being there before SBR, Requiems, or Prestiges were even added. Rokakakas actually used to reset your level and you'd need to find a pure rokakaka which only reset your stand if you wanted to keep it. I watched YBA turn from a cool passion project that was original and enjoyable despite it's lackluster (at least, compared to the modern day) stands because, well, it was a passion project based on one of my favorite things to a corporate hellhole where all Uzu and the dev team seem to care about is money. The more popular YBA got, the more greedy the devs became until everything just... sucked. We have a game today that is devoid of all substance; what made it fun is long gone. No more new mechanics, no more new gamemodes, hell, we haven't even gotten a requiem past SPTW and Uzu promised that EVERY stand would have a requiem. I'm not saying old and simple is always good, but I think I'd prefer if all stands dropped their *visual* quality in favor of a backtrack to the fun and nostalgic feeling as well as FINALLY a decent update schedule.
Also, why the hell does the storyline give you a requiem arrow?! What??? I remember working my butt off every single day in SBR and FINALLY after LITERAL DAYS beating SBR ONCE. In the past, SBR used to give you access to the requiem arrow; it was this whole quest thing with a lengthy but really rewarding process. You'd talk to the prestige master at prestige 3 in SBR, he'd give you a quest to simply beat SBR, you do so, and you get the ability to craft a requiem arrow at a different NPC for a hefty sum of money. I PREFERRED THAT SO MUCH. That last SBR game that gave me access to requiem was INSANE. Like seriously! The only requiem that was out was Gold Experience's (which at the time looked AWESOME compared to all the other stands) so I had Gold Experience and I would try for I think a whole MONTH to beat SBR. And that feeling when I got requiem was so amazing, it felt like I was a cut above the rest for all the hellish work I put in, that I actually accomplished something of worth. Aaaaaand of course they decide to make the end of the storyline give you requiem. What once was a super rewarding experience after beating SBR is now replaced with +1 pelvis and no other rewards except maybe money (I got Tusk Act 4 by literally inputting a code...)
So yeah, sorry for ranting but basically what I mean is, YBA has lost all of it's original charm for me. It used to be a fun passion project, and now I can't really find any reason to play it anymore. It's a broken mess of terrible balancing and none of my friends want anything to do with it (hey, I see why). YBA just doesn't even feel like the same game anymore. And yes, drawing in children for hours on end just for them to get a slight remodel of a stand that they apparently really want IS scummy and it always has been. I've really always hated the idea of skins for that reason but obviously I won't rag on others for having them, in the end you're not FORCED to get skins since it's your choice if you want to grind for them. In summary, a lot of aspects may have improved a LOT, but it's never worth losing all of the original charm. I miss and will always miss the old YBA.
That requiem obtainment still exists alongside the storyline one. Did you actually find it fun grinding for a whole month?
@@olajoaocopia ger wasn’t the best in the game after twoh, you obviously don’t remember old scr 💀
@@olajoaocopia you said “on my opinion” which doesn’t mean the same thing as “in my opinion”. Maybe it would help if you read the comment too idk
@@olajoaocopia It was undoubtedly the best in every situation but whatever u say
I agree Eclipse, the game has changed a ton since release. Gameplay has changed and the game has had many ups and downs in general. However, I’m glad we all had good times while they lasted.
Long time viewer ( I was in the king crimsion video bingo) and 2021 February player here
Back then in 2021 ybas combat was MUCH more simpler, didnt have any cool effects, no flashy moves, just regular stand moves with pretty bad effects.
Back then M1 Trades where actually important but now a days combat all matters about landing 1 move then doing 95 percent of your hp
Specs where also pretty boring but also very simple to use, stands where also pretty fun but also the moves where simple
I feel like yba now a days is just based off landing moves and other stuff
I think uzus main goal here was to turn this game into a evolved jojo game
I have mix feelings for this game now and Im proud that uzu decided to change the whole game
Eclipse I do miss your tournament streams
Build or bust videos
stand reviews
stand bingos
wiping sbr with friends
I really do miss the old times
Thank you so much for making this video everything you said in the later half of the video is exactly how i feel about yba. I used to be in a gang with a couple of people for a long time and ended up quiting yba for like 4 months due to personal reasons and i never really reconnected with them. I made some of my best memories with those guys.project, ginge, epixgamer, cheesecake, this is fixer.if you see this i wont ever forget you guys i cant reach u in in discord cuz i lost my old account but i really loved playing with all of you. Those midnight gang wars were sick 😂
This made me happy to read. Sure its sad that they're gone, but seeing somone make memories other people would never normally have is such a powerful thing. To old yba 🍻
@@retard_check2063 cheers bro 🍻
This video hurt.
I speak on behalf of the ogs of this game.
The game kinda lost its uniqueness especially in combat, the old days of doing m1s trades are no more instead you mash alot of moves and win and stands just dont feel valuable anymore which may or may not be a good thing to some people
i've not played this game since the scr rework but how would you confirm moves if you don't use m1s? Outside of maybe counters
@@weedGatopretty much every new/reworked stand/spec has atleast 1 combo starter with low cooldown and no endlag, that can be thrown out with no fear of getting punished.
I know I'm 4 months late to commenting on this video, but I remember a time when rokakaka would reset all your characters progress, meaning the only way to get new stands was pures or you restarted the story line and went back to level 1. my friend found this game one night at like 12am or something, and we both agreed the combat looked really fun, it's actually what drew us into playing yba. when we joined you could double barrage with hamon and stands making it the most busted thing in the game, and as time went on we loved playing the game. I was never good at the game but I still enjoyed losing because the combat was fun and the only thing I could blame was myself for being bad, and also my macbook air from 2015.
While I'm not the biggest fan of current YBA, I never really was a big fan of the game. I'd have fun playing. but my list of games I play outside roblox is Devil may cry and DBFZ, so having combos that look cool and flashy now never really makes me think about how unbalanced it is. if I go to play a roblox game I'm playing it to have the most turn your brain off fun I can have. anything that happened to the game wouldn't affect me so much because I never went too deep into the rabbit hole of YBA's balance and stuff because I'd turn my brain off, I kinda skirted on the outside occasionally dipping in to see what's new or what's happening and then I'd leave again. Even as I write this I'm in the middle of trying to skin farm for golden frieza red hot chilli pepper, because I am a dragon ball fan. and once i've got that, I probably won't log back on and do something else instead.
While it's sad to see how far the games fallen, it just doesn't hit me as hard compared to others.
I remember when YBA was released, ABD was the popular game at the time and I would tell my brother how YBA is gonna be the next big JoJo Roblox game. (I’m talking when it was in BETA)
Each time hearing the re:zero (straight bet) song that used to play in YBA main game long time ago, lots of memories of the games run through my mind..
It really has. It's full of one-shot combos that could be easily avoided but still somehow made it through
Everything explained in this video represents my feelings towards the current state of this game so well. And that last bit at the end with the old YBA music and the old clips really hit hard for someone like me who’s been playing for almost 3 years and has been a fan of yours ever since the first YBA video.
Thanks for everything you do Eclipse. I've been watching ever since I joined YBA in mid 2020 and I have branched out into more of your content as well. All of the games that I play would feel massively different without having your input and reactions to them. You helped me get into so many games (Mostly Subnautica) and left a huge impact on how I approach situations in-game and out.
Truly, Thank you for all of your hard work.
I havent played YBA in years (last time was prolly a quick login to check out the new map). It isn't even the same game, everything is just so different all the stands have like 6 moves plus the 6 from fighting styles. I remember playing hour long gangwars with friends I met online and SBR without ever getting bored. Its all really sad tbh.
The combat has changed so much that AUT might actually be better after some time, the thing that separated them was the fact blocking, parrying and M1ing were wayyyy more important than in AUT, with the combat rework and recent spec and stands reworks in YBA Aut might have a chance of surpassing it, because if they balance the stat points the heat mechanic makes fighting better, since you need to land hits before peforming your 100-0 combo
AUT is still shit so I doubt it unless they add actual evasives on every ability to YBA like some people think they're planning on doing.
yeah but at least in yba you can barrage out of the combo, in aut once you get hit with a singular stun when your enemy has half a bar you are done and you die
Current AUT meta is legit fucking spray and pray. It’s dominated by Sakuya mains. Your entire fucking point makes zero sense.
aut is shit cant do animations cant do pvp and visuals at the same time cant be original
@@matemo9752not much different from current yba it seems
Am I wrong to enjoy this game, even with all the mess that happened ?
I mean I don't know how people feel nostalgic about the old yba, or how they liked the old mecanics, there was sometimes that I complained about some bugs or some unbalanced mecanics on the pvp. But above all of that I think I still enjoy it and I don't get it why people like eclipse or some old players doesn't like this game anymore. Am I missing something, is there something wrong that I haven't noticed ? After watching this video I kinda understand how it feels for an old player to experience all thoses changes. Sadly I don't have that feeling since I joined the game recently around in june 2021, and the stone free update happened around july or august. And I have been playing this game for like 2 years already (of course I don't play it every day I have a life after all).
The scary monsters reworked made me hype but as soon as I realize how unbalanced it is. I mean sure u can still defeat it if you know it's mechanics, as well for vampire. But yet, you don't need to use your brain to understand how you should fight. This is why Instead of spamming the special attacks on my keyboard, I try to play fairly by using my mouse as a main source of damage (only if the enemy doesn't run).
I'm glad to see how the game evolves in terms of visuals and mecanics, but It doesn't mean it's all perfect. All what I do is that I enjoy the game as much as I can, even with all the future updates that will change the game.
I think the main reason playing yba feels different than it used to is not just because of the game changes anymore. I believe we all have changed a fair bit since the time we started playing yba and maybe grown out of it. It is not that easy for a game built in a kid's platform to sustain the charm it had for players that have since grown older anyway. Having said all that, I miss the good old times as much as the next person.
Dawg yba isn't that old
ive literally been here ever since yba released, I remember getting star platinum on my first arrow lol. fr tho coming from a guy who played YBA since release and a fan of yours since you had around 200 subscribers, its a shame how much the game has changed, its like a whole new game now and it no longer had its charm that it once had before. i remember dominating main game with twoh and killing people in sbr with my friends having a blast but now it just wont feel the same knowing about the newer PVP of one shotting everyone. and if you're not playing the game for that its just a grindfest for skins that wont do you any good in the long run. yba has changed, and in my opinion, for the worse. I quit YBA around 2 months before the Stone Free update, then came back to it on April of this year, and I feel like I'm a literal noob when I was clearly not. every stand that releases nowadays is always so broken and then pairing that with a spec increases the craziness by ten fold. effects cover up your whole screen, still no new gamemodes, and more. back then, yba had a terrible balancing, but it had a charm to it that many of you guys can probably agree with me on. the PVP was stupid but in a good way. i miss being one comboed by a twoh or sptw. i miss ger yoinking all my health because of scorpion and barrage. i miss the infinite speed on mih... (actually idk about that one) anyways, on a real note I truly miss yba. clearly its now out of its golden age and onto its modern era. but ill forever miss the good old days... arigato, yba.
I used to play a lot of yba around 2-3 years ago, I remember how hard it was for me back then to win fights. I made a lot of friends and even a whole gang just so we could help each other, especially in sbr. It was a lot of fun since we actually needed to use our brains and think of ways to win the game, but now that's all gone.
I was first introduced to YBA in the middle of March 2020 by one of my cousin's friends. And then when my cousin joined we immediately loved YBA. Almost every single day my cousin would ask me if I wanted to play YBA and we would have a great time fighting against each other and other players and playing in SBR. When the Stone Free update was released most of my friends left the game. Me and my cousin were the only ones still playing. After a while, my cousin dropped the game. Then it was me. Now I don't even play the game anymore. It's so sad to see a game I used to play all the time become this. Even though I still have frustrating issues with YBA I'm glad that I got to hold on to the memories of when I played with my cousin.
I feel like YBA evolved both forwards and backwards at the same time.
Thats just called change
I have been watching since the start, I remember I would always check out your new videos right when you uploaded, I would hop on YBA nearly everyday to play, and I would generally have so much fun and many laughs. I miss the old days and the old YBA.
I also nearly cried at the end part, I started playing right around when you did too, and to see all of those memories and flashbacks from your previous videos was just so nice, I used to recommend this game to alot of my friends and we would enjoy it together. And Eclipse, you have done a huge impact on this community, a great one, you practically saved the game with your content, events, messages to staff and it was just great.
This is a very great video and I would like to say I just miss the old YBA and the old fun.
Thank you Eclipse, Thank you for everything.
I just got off of playing YBA after not playing the game for a year, I’ve been playing this game from almost the games first release and it is crazy how much has changed for more over the worse in my opinion. There’s a lot of great quality of life and other things but just the game itself has changed so much, YBA used to be the Jojo game people played because it was different, it wasn’t a skin farm sim ability spam game you had chains and bread and butters, now it’s just like any other jojo game idk if you should even engage in m1 combat unless you have one of the new specs that can do everything. The sheer amount of moves as well is so much you have the now 5 spec moves (maybe more I’m not sure) and your stand moves which is so much to even juggle on the keyboard like using vampire with a stand like killer queen is near impossible with how many keybinds you need for all the abilities. The sheer amount of those keybinds is just a symbolism for how much the game has changed it’s just so bloated with all the stands and bugs that have not been prioritized because of the new skins and the new design philosophy as there’s no way they can not be knowing what they’re doing when they make some of these stands and specs. The game has just now been bloated with all the effects and the lack of drive to make the game good and it’s sad to see it become this.
Brev is onto nothing
I miss being an absolute god at this game, now I can't even land a hit without my computer semi-crashing.
They've ruined the feel of this game
16:13 parasyte music 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Well yes, It's changed but I don't see how the Negatives you've told can apply? Maybe if you argumented over the actual problems Instead of saying "YBA ISNT BALANCED BECAUSE IM TRASH" How about you speak about the fact that Paragon hasnt stopped admin abusing ever since 2022? Damn. You do no good for the community, just pressure Uzukee....
damn the memories………
18:26 I rokaed my twoh and got it back video, it was because of the donations on stream lol
18:30 if I lose a game, I’ll run a mile, using hierophant green and ger lol
18:35 if I run into a broken server, I do 10 push ups, lollll old yba broken servers
18:46 if I run into a kill trader, the video end. Killlllll traaaddddeeeeeeee?
18:49 4 tusk act 4 in a sbr, ora!!!
18:57 not sure what video it was in, maybe a bingo? But I remembering eclipse saying how that six pistol in the video was his friend and therefore it was funny, but people that doesn’t know him dm some stuff like that is not funny
19:09 4 d4c in a sbr, I remember that 4 man boost and everyone was holding the glove to form a stair case like shape lmaooo
19:21 I forgot, maybe 4 the hands 4 twoh 4 sptw 4 ta4 4 d4clt, eclipse made a number of videos like that lol
19:31 lel old sptw beatdown moment, punchy punchy punch punch, boring af and dmg could be buffed by hamon
19:35 didn’t follow the stream but yeah eclipse first viewers tournament, many scr twoh and those cheesy stands were present unlike the later ones
19:46 smh I forgot this one, was it the trailer for the tournament? Or was it the video about mih when it just came out and ppl want it to be buffed, lel infinite speed chain uncatchable mouse with a ts resist, can’t imagine that ngl
19:54 SHEER HEART ATTACK WHY ARE YOU IN THE FLOORRRRRR
20:01 eclipse finally started his blast to the yba updates and the devs lmao, I call it the crusade towards shitty skin updates
20:04 can you play yba without a mouse, man why not can you beat yba without a mouse, oh cuz that got a whole series of videos already
20:23 4 the worlds winning in a yba tournament, hella fun video, “why can’t we have our own sub specs?”
At the end, I want to thank eclipse for the video you have been making in the past, I’ve had so much fun watching them. I started playing yba around a month later after the heaven update, and therefore started watching yba contents. Bam eclipse showed up in my recommendations, and hence my journey with yba and eclipse started there. Somehow I enjoyed the game the most when I just joined and sucked, and during the period of time where bunch of bugs werent fixed. Kc impale combo, twohs jaw breaker into smite and ts true combo, sptw ora kicks into ts, bullshit scr, sub specs and so on. I really do relate to “it was such a mess back then but now I really miss that mess”. since half a year ago or even longer ago, I haven’t enjoy playing yba for a long long time. I guess the yba I used to know is really gone
this video actually made me cry, Yba nowadays isnt very fun, but seeing this nostalgia made my day
I've been watching Eclipse for as long as I can remember. The Old yba days were so messy but the good kind, the new yba players could never understand.
I'm a former yba god, though just a random person you've probably met in the old yba I was equal to or better than many youtubers such as Eclipse who was equal to me. Some youtubers I have beaten include GamerTiny, Gohanhino (former yba player) and much more youtubers and as lucky I was to meet them it was even more fun to play with them and find out what kind of person they are. But as the game changed and I was still behind on the meta I learned it was time to let go and let the other players shine. (Totally not because I got hacked and they erased 50k robux worth of gamepasses so I quit yba for a year then I come back to find out it's way too different for me to catch up on)
Lol I started playing a week before you did I’m glad they added that join date feature.
Eclipse finally spoke up about how this isn't the game many of us used to play anymore. I used to come home from school and play with my friends, sometimes we would get ganged up on by rkers and sometimes we ganged up on the rkers but it was the inperfection that made it perfect in my heart. R.I.P OG YBA!!!!!!❤
I sucked at old yba combat,but i liked being bad,learning how to use stands and tusk spamming those we're one of the best times i've had in roblox, even if it was 1 year of a lack of content i enjoyed it,no balance changes,no New stands it's just me vs every overpowered stand (Includin scr) and i loved it,Until yba became old aut..all the stands May look good but they're mostly overpowered with a 1 shot combo and stuff it's unbalanced,and it's not fun to play against. I can squeeze out a few laughs every now and then but to be honest I miss that 1 year update drought
I actually feel bad for Eclipse, he has to make videos on this game because RUclips is his job and YBA is the only thing that gets many views. This was maybe not a big problem back then because he loved the game.
But now the same game he and many of us played and made great memories in, is gone.
And he is being punished for loving a good game that is now ruined by it's developer, something completely out of his control...
To be honest I don’t play Yba anymore cuz of the crashing it does. Also Roblox don’t take much phone storage but when I play Yba it’s take 60% of and make me go nuts
Hey Eclipse, I'm a mediocre'ish Roblox developer and I also loved playing old yba and I miss it. Would you be interested if I ever started project similar to old yba?
This game is fun, but not as fun as it use to be. I'm happy that Uzu is doing his best on updates but some the reworks so far are op, Sm is just one example to much stuns and very easy auto combo output. I sorta miss the old m1 trade days. Also Yba player are now toxic as hell, they just spam ez after the most shitest win possible. game ain't the same no more.
New yba just doesent feel the same anymore and so does the community inside of it,now everyone only cares about skins or trading in the game and i dont see the fun in that,i wish the game kept it charm but uzu just made it worse and honestly ill think it probably would make newer players go away too and honestly skins ruined the game as a whole,back then when they werent a thing the main focus was just fun pvp with people and having gang wars but ever since skins got added it felt like everyone just shifted their focus even me to getting them and now i understand why most people arent having fun now
I got banned for "exploiting" and their only proof was a picture of me not loading in properly (I play mobile so my loading sucks sometimes) and when I went to the discord to try and get it appealed they ignored me and banned me from the discord without any warning
We really are due for a new Roblox jojo experience... one that isn't combo-dependent and unpunishable but also is not bland, like half the other games.
Man, YBA is quite the game… I’ve been playing since around June 2021, and I used to be pretty good at the game. I’d run almost every stand/spec combo you could think of, but I remember my favorites being Star Platinum boxing, Hierophant Green Hamon and MIH Boxing. I made a lot of memories in this game, and after the white album rework I was having fun with it but got a nasty feeling that YBA might devolve into a combo f*ck fest where you land a single move and your opponent dies. After the vamp rework I knew my fears were true and the game I had once loved so much had become a combo fest with almost zero game balance. I still occasionally play, but now I’ll see people pull off combos that do all of your hp and it just makes me sad knowing what the game once was. I only started watching around September 2023 because I wanted nostalgia for old YBA and I stuck with the channel. I may not be a long time viewer but I am a long time player, and it feels bad to see what was once my favorite game become this sh*thole Uzu turned it into.
I saw the start and yba "death" i stopped playing at the same time as eclipse... and i feel just the same as him the game i loved is gone FOREVER to me hope is lost 😞 the errors uzu made were the reason i loved the game over powered stands were feared, now people dont even use the plane stand no more
8:21
leave a year without updates, and a comunity screams.
so imagine Team Fortress 2 players that had to wait 6 years for an update, just for the update to ad seals (i like seals tho).
Bruh same.
I used to play this game so much, I stuck with purple haze vampire till the end, discovered new strategies and even got to the #100 PvP spot. Now that things are changing, I feel like I’m unable to really enjoy this game as much anymore due to the changing meta and rapid speed that I didn’t have to deal with in the past. Furthermore, people don’t even play this game to get the stand they want anymore. They just farm skins all day. It’s getting harder to adapt and really enjoy this game as much as I could before to the point where I stopped playing YBA entirely and only on rare occasions with my friends.
I miss you YBA 😢
I miss the days when you would farm Jotaro at the train station with Sword Art Online music in the background
This video makes me so sad and yet it’s exactly what I was thinking about. Good, nostalgic memories
i remember starting yba around like 2020, i didnt understand the game much so i jus quit after getting like 2 levels. Somewhere around mid 2020 i joined back and began playing, i always quit for around 6 months or more and then start playing for 2-3 months. its a cycle, you cant escape YBA.
Back in old yba. It was nice to play for fun. Now everyone just plays for something. Either skin, item, stand, etc. Nobody has fun playing. They just care about winning, and playing dirty.
Brev yba has always been like this
@@garysteinfield4623 Nah. Go to a server and try to RK. Look at the people you fight. Look at how they fight, and how they talk. For a normal person who plays very little and goes in to have fun. Its hard to survive against people who have no life and play everyday. And they feel justified in doing so.
@@Hueco-Oscuras and its always been like this
@@Hueco-Oscuras kids have always disliked rkers
@@garysteinfield4623 Not even rkers. Thats just what everyone does in the game. Even though nobody wants to admit it. But basically anytime you want to fight people in a kill game, just watch how it plays out. Back then it used to be click, wait, and time. Now its just, "if the keyboard doesnt break when you press the keys for your combos, then you will never win the battle".
I used to play every day but after my acc got perma banned I stopped. I didn’t play for 6 months and it pains me to see what it’s become
Yba is fun for two minutes till a Meta-mancer runs and kills you, thinking they have skill 💀
the spirit of the game is just gone now. I think with things like trading skins and the new visual effects that are enough to give people epileptic seizures along with each new stand or rework having like 8 moves is slowly turning yba into aut. the peak of yba was when skins were just cosmetics and there was no trading because it let people focus more on the combat and actually have the spirit to get better at it. now its almost impossible for new players and returning players like me to do that because there are just way too many confusing cutscenes visual effects and moves. please uzu at least bring back old specs as a different option to purchase so people can choose between new and old (e.g: when u buy boxing u can choose between boxing v1 and boxing v2)
Even though the current YBA is 'fine' it does not feel nowhere near as fun or 'balanced' as it used to be. Old YBA was not balanced at all but nor is the new YBA. I feel as if somewhere in the midway of its lifespan was it the most 'fair' but even when broken as hell, it was still so fun.
Eclipse, if you are reading this, you are incredibly enjoyable to watch no matter what content you make. Thank you for being such a fun and relatable youtuber... Also, I just want to say that there is a OST in the game that used to play (I still think it does) called 'made in abyss: forever lost', please listen to it! It involves huge YBA nostalgia! Thank you, Eclipse... and thank you Old YBA. I miss you, old YBA.
I thought I was alone with how I felt about this. I was starting to believe that I truly was unreasonable with quitting. I mean, what was I thinking, it’s the same game, right? I said those exact words on your end screen, Eclipse.
5:01 the words “I’m just need spin” reverberated in every steel ball run player’s head until this was implemented
dont wanna complain too much but bruh why does everything have to be a beatdown/cutscene
Rip to the game that I loved Aswell and the friends I made and abandoned because of it. I'll never get back those few years of practically wasted effort and time but I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
one thing I still cant under stand is that ill just be standing at spawn stand farming and a random person hits me with a combo.
Not all the things will be forever so spend it with love and make memories you wont forget even if its gone.
I feel that too my join date is 7/31/2020 i came back to this game last month.
The song when the community section kicks in makes me sad, because i also enjoyed playing on the old yba times, even if it was messy, it was better than the button mash we know as yba nowadays, i always loved spawning near the train station, i always loved the old map, when yba was accesible for everyone and not tryhardy people where just used a certain messy meta where the injustice happen, i started playing yba since 2021 and i miss those days, where i could get excited about getting some cool stand or skin, my first skin, star platinum stone ocean, even if it was just a purple sptw, i loved it. because it conected me with all of the comunity ingame
now.. whenever i join yba, i just expect some toxic bs with some broken stand or spec, not those old but yet funny to use due to the lack of powerful moves, it was messy. but a balanced mess i once used to love now broken by the decitions of making the game more professional, polished, and broken just to hype the community
And the music, i really loved music in old yba, it was a great choice
Yeah, I also remember the wacky but good times in YBA. Especially when using GER back then was way more fun than now imo. When scorpion barrage was a thing, counter startup being annoying but kinda funny, being able to stand on the tree, awakening turning you into a literal terminator, etc.
Btw you should have included the old clip where you killed a TWOH with hermit purple. I found that clip super funny!
Great video though and nostalgic :)
the best feeling from old yba was when you got randomly ganged up on and you call your friends over to absolutely demolish them and that feeling always made me like the game
Them gangs always pissed me off, and the release when I manage to make them rage quit with twoh was great. The game isn't fun like that anymore, the only thing I did after retrying the game was anger a gang and block myself in pizzeria and use d4c:lt to teleport me and my friend out when the wall broke
The first fucking YBA video that got me emotional
I remember back when I started playing YBA because of a friend, fun times. Found your channel down the line and enjoyed your content a lot.
Eclipse I think it’s truly time to move on from yba.
this video was so sad 😿😿😿 i could feel twoh hamon coming inside me 😭😭😭🙏 im going to jump
In the balance section, Eclipse forgot the phawking Double Barrage strats, i remember the time When i used Scr's arrow barrage with Aerosmith's bullet barrage, plus a Hierophant Green's emerald splash,the damages were so high, we were all hamon too, so one shots were numerous. god i miss the old times. ahahahahah!
Same man
Truly Sad What The Game has become, And Sadly It Isnt Going to change, It was good while it lasted imo
The end part of this video gave me a huge sense of nostalgia, though timewise it might have not been that far long ago yba has changed SOOO much since this
As someone who started playing the game because of you, i am with you, i miss the old game so much. Also thank you for being an amazing member of the community, with the hours you spent trying to help this game be as good as its potential showed.
I think content RUclipsrs and developers can all relate to that burnout feeling after obsessing over our projects for long periods of time.
the flashback of the broken 1v1 servers hit so different 💀
Has it really?
Not much except for that movesets have become more spamming and qol changes this is mostly about nostalgia. I miss the memories of when I avidly played yba 2020-2021 but I do not let that cloud my judgement
