ETALUS HAS ARRIVED (Frosty Fausting 2025 Recap)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- This is our first big rivals tournament with etalus out, and even if there was not as much super top level talent at this event relative to other majors you still had a ton of amazing people showing up, and it feels like the average level of play has risen a ton since the last major, excited for genesis

I really liked your editing for these tourney wrap up videos. I like how you allow the game to finish before moving onto the next section. Really appreciate it, and your other touches, so I wanted to leave a comment
thanks that means a lot, I aint much of an editor but its nice to know that things are flowing nice at least
@ProofBlock
If I could make one suggestion? When you list the top 16 results (13th, 9th, etc.), could you show the names on screen? You can put them in groups and have the names pop in as you say them, or you could list all 16 simultaneously.
as much as I still enjoy playing Etalus, yeah, he just feels incomplete right now, his hitboxes feel wonky and his strongs barely work
@@Flindo911 up strong and forward strong initial hitboxes just knock people out of the move, forward air shield is supposed to be a viable recovery option and it blocks almost nothing, uspecial and dash attack were able to be wavedashed out of in 1 and that got removed because obviously he wasn’t slow and clunky enough on the ground. Lots of the stuff that worked for him in rivals 1 didn’t get adapted to 2. With no whifflag in this game he just has atrocious frame data compared to everybody else, and gets out ranged by characters that are close to as slow. I know the devs will fix it but it’s crazy he was released this bad.
I think the inconsistency of his F-Air block is really annoying. I feel like it works 1/10 times I use it. And it feels slower than in Rivals 1, though I could be wrong/bad.
@@Aeirion its 6 frames slower than it is in 1
Ya he doesn’t feel great
> click on etalus video
> none of the gameplay is etalus
Actually all the Etalus play is right at the start (of like the whole tournament there as legit two games)
I feel like right now etalus is the worst, but he will definitely rise as people figure out his advantage state more and its more a matter of when rather than if.
Nah he's gonna be the worst for sure until they buff him.
I dunno I think it’ll take a buff or two but we shall see
Almost felt like a psyop that Marlon got cancelled at the start. At least cake had a chance to be the best for a while
Yeah, truly unfortunate timing. I understand why the devs felt the need to show that they take community culture seriously. Idk what I would have done in their situation
I’m glad we’ve got Marlon back
Didn’t cake have better results up to the end of rivals 1 or am I trippin?
when you say cancelled, what do you mean? did something happen like interpoersonally or do you mena like skill wise they got blown out of the water?
@ Afaik, basically some stuff from when he was like 15 got brought up. He had apparently made death threats and been toxic. He apologized for it when it all resurfaced.
The devs banned him from competing in in-person tournaments till January, but his account and stuff were untouched. He accepted the punishment with grace.
Many people in the community felt that the content of the threats he made combined with how long ago they occurred didn't really warrant him being punished now. But the devs wanted to establish a precedent for not tolerating toxicity in the community, so yeah.
@ I think so, but I do remember Rivals 2 Marlon absolutely cooking Cake's Fleet with Orcane early on in this game. Not sure where that match was though, honestly. But since Marlon hasn't been able to compete in tournaments, it's hard to say who's better now.
Waaayyy too many biases on display here for my liking. Would prefer if you actually recapped the tournament over talking about character balance all the time as well.
For the early recaps they are going to be focusing more on the game since there’s no established head to heads or rivalry’s, future recaps will be more about players
