As a long time melee and project m player since 2007, i havent felt this excited about a new platform fighter since then. I really hope this game makes it as its own thing and hopefully doesnt have to rely on piggybacking off smash bros for too long. This game deserves all the love
R1 had a consisitent player base with the only thing holding it back being the engine and people disdan for lack of defense hidy tools smash has now we have those tool in this game it's gonna take off with the community it needs to take off with. As well as anyone that doesn't have Switch but want smash.
Bro that finals was so fire, last game last stock I was getting anxious from all the tension I was feeling and I wasn't even the one playing, I can't imagine how they would feel being the ones on the situation
Having just recently discovered this game, I can easily say it's at least as hype as Ultimate and even Melee, maybe even more hype sometimes. Can't wait to try it out.
Is there lag in the video multiple times during game 1 or is it just my bum azz phone? I try rewinding, but it stutters and freezes in the same spots every time
You made me realize this game will end up being bigger than smash. I am usually hesitant to trust smash clones but this game looks really clean. Nintendo has blundered in failing to advocate for the smash community for the last time. I will get this game and I look forward to facing you in the future hungrybox.
Why does Lucius not use side-b to recover on Ranno? I feel like it's such a good option... am I wrong? They're certainly a better player than me so I really don't know.
ignoring a whole ass well made game, the best one of out all of the new plat fighters just because of a art choice is insane, and no, the first one is as "furry" as this one, you just see it clearer now, btw not you talking like Smash isn't already 70% furries
@@curse5697 TIL animal = furry - I must have missed all the people in gorilla suits at furry conventions cosplaying dk, a good number of these are a reach.
@@wyatttrombley just like how not every character in RoA is a furry, Loxodont, Kragg, Orcane, Elliana, Ranno, Mollo and Pomme. It's all about perspective you just seem to be looking for a reason to discard a great platform fighter
Nah, she's balanced. The only reason she seems so good in this tournament is because Boiko is cracked; Clairen's regarded as high B--tier maybe low A-tier by most high-level Rivals 2 players right now.
I thinks its silly to say that rivals 2 won't be coming to console. Also most players of rivals played on pc anyway so I doubt its going to "die" anytime soon lmao
It’ll come out way later like the first but I agree not having it release on all platforms close to the same time makes these indie games kinda dead on arrival as much as I enjoy them
Finally the boy is covering the most hyped platform fighter! Hope to see more Rivals of Aether 2 in the future!!!
Is “the boy” hungrybox or one of the commentators? I haven’t heard that nickname for these people.
@@quantum6637I just assumed they meant “the box” but idk either lol
Honestly my favorite platform fighter right now. I'm gonna support it til the end.
That's me with nasb. I guess I'm already done tho lol
i was surprised hungrybox didnt upload RoA2 content yet, but finally its here!!
THIS SMASH KILLER MADE A SEQUEL
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH@@sharkronical
Such a crazy Grand Finals

Yea the first one was the only other platform fighter game with a healthy and long lasting scene, excluding brawlhalla but that kinda it’s own genre.
Played it for the first time today, only platform fighter i genuinely love since Melee. Game is crazy good
This game looks like a dream, so smooth, the gameplay looks like platform fighter perfected, its a must buy for me if it comes to switgg
it will eventually
Gonna have to wait 1-2 years for consoles unfortunately
This game is honestly so cool
Thank you for editing out everything in between the games. Very much appreciated.

@@Bupboy I just heard about that earlier today. I replied to my own comment before reading your reply. V excited!
There is a free play from the 14th to the 21st folks!!
I was so happy to hear that when it was announced.
@@elijahstreckfuss8204 I'm going to get it regardless- but man I want to play early
@@CriticalxMiss my thoughts exactly
where was this announced?
@tkienjoyer its on their reddit, and I think was on their Twitter? It's part of the steam next fest thing
So excited to see the competitive scene develop for this game.
I'm excited to see CakeAssault play Forsburn again on release.
I said the same thing! He's a hard character IMO and I was astonished how well Cake piloted him in RoA1
THIS GAME IS AWESOME! KEEP MAKING CONTENT FOR IT!
this game is going to be fucking fire
Love seeing Skyjay playing RoA2! Can't wait to see what happens when he gets LA Raina! 🔥
welp
My favorite Smash Bros player and creator since day 1 finally giving me dopamine for my new main platform fighter, let's go!
This grands was really hype
Console release soon after hopefully!!
grandfinals was so hype, such talented players, congrats to boi!!
Bro that finals was so fire, last game last stock I was getting anxious from all the tension I was feeling and I wasn't even the one playing, I can't imagine how they would feel being the ones on the situation
I’m so excited for this game, I hope it gains a lot of traction
This game looks amazing. I cant wait
Any support is for Rivals 2 is lovely.
That last set was INSANE
The whole cast really out here playing Melee while Clairen is playing Smash 64
are you talking about how she mainly uses her forward and back throws like how it is in 64 or am I missing something else?
@@elijahstreckfuss8204 He's referring to how Clairen's tippers cause hitstun that quite long like S64.
@@shir0923 oh I see it now thanks
Boiko is my goat, amazing play all around
Mine's Marlon (Kusi); bro didn't drop a game on the entire Champions of the Beta tournament
Having just recently discovered this game, I can easily say it's at least as hype as Ultimate and even Melee, maybe even more hype sometimes. Can't wait to try it out.
That grand finals was fantastic. It's Marth v Fox all over again and I'm here for it
last stock game 10 grands, insane stuff from Cake and Boiko
I am unbelievable hyped for this game
yessss i want more Rivals of Aether 2 content and tournies!!
Skyjay is gonna go crazy in this game when La Reina releases, I can already feel it just based on his incineroar mix and plays
I’m so freaking hype
So hyped to see the games FIRST controller spike.
Grand finals was cinema
Ohhhh we doing a Rivals tournament?? I’m here
Crazy Grands. Wonder if Cake will switch to Forsburn when he is released in the full game? I miss Cake Forsburn.
surely
Wisely if you see this thank you for correctly using the term pityflip and actively trying to spread the correct usage
I'm liking this Boiko guy
I've watched a lot of Smash Ultimate and Rivals, and I have to say this is one of my favorite grand finals of all time.
Rivals 2!!!!!
Is there lag in the video multiple times during game 1 or is it just my bum azz phone? I try rewinding, but it stutters and freezes in the same spots every time
It's the video
The video is shit, not your phone.
I really hope we get the OG music as a bonus or something
But my God this game looks awesome
35:45 They got an achievement mid-set.
Thanks Hbox for promoting it
Best Platform fighter on the Market.
I'm so glad they renamed the game back to Rivals of Aether II
"Rivals" was such a generic name, the original name just had a nice ring to it
crazy grand finals. the games so fast
TacocaT so goated
Damn, Smash got a crazyyy update
Lets go Hbox lets give a good dev the wheel!!!!
3:15:05 how did that fair miss?
Cake's zetter is so sick lol
This game is so good
I think Rivals 2 might be the game to match Smash in terms of popularity
i'd say quality over popularity
@@curse5697 true
If they get popular they're getting a lawsuit
@@chanty2192 nintendo doesnt own the platform fighter genre. They have 0 grounds for a lawsuit.
@@LunaireTD I disagree with almost all of Nintendo's lawsuits, most of them are unfair. That doesn't mean they aren't effective with them.
Hell yeah fuckin right
As long it's under 40 $ I'm buying it
Its 30 i think and maybe a launch discount
30$ to pre-order rn, you also get your name in the credits as a backer and a skin for rivals 1
$30 and all future characters will be free DLC
It's 30 dollars :]
30 bucks, about 25 at launch because of launch sale
You made me realize this game will end up being bigger than smash. I am usually hesitant to trust smash clones but this game looks really clean. Nintendo has blundered in failing to advocate for the smash community for the last time. I will get this game and I look forward to facing you in the future hungrybox.
Nothing will kill Smash. More than one game can exist within the same genre. You people, I swear... 😮💨
Cake the true Rivals GOAT, cant wait till he gets Forsburn in his hands
Why does Lucius not use side-b to recover on Ranno? I feel like it's such a good option... am I wrong? They're certainly a better player than me so I really don't know.
22:33 "Very scary"
Yes, very scary image on the screen lmao
Boiko So hype!!!
TacocaT got the power of friendship buff 😂
Fleet vs Maypul: The Movie
Cant wait for smash to finally be dethroned
If Wraster is so broken from what a lot of pros say, why is no one playing him?
Where hBOX tho?
Newd a console version !!
its goofy that they do tourneys of games not even out yet imo
i think it helps a lot for the game to get traction and build momentum when it releases
if you backed it during the kickstarter you got early access. There's been a pretty substantial playerbase for months at this point so why not
The particle effects are way to much in this game holy shit
Spot dodging is not in rivals one
all things considered, Dr. Fizz did pretty well against Cake 1:27:08
Why the hell is the movement identical to melee?
because Melee's movement is peak?
It’s always been identical to Melee since ROA1.
Maypul is VERY strong. I'd nerf her a bit.
Furryness of this game is a turn off tbh, the second one is much more of a "furry fighting game" than the first imo
ignoring a whole ass well made game, the best one of out all of the new plat fighters just because of a art choice is insane, and no, the first one is as "furry" as this one, you just see it clearer now, btw not you talking like Smash isn't already 70% furries

@@AL-lh2ht das real
Games not even out yet and I already hate watching Clairen.
i actually LOVE watching Clairen, but i hate playing against her
I'm probably going to end up maining clairen
Lack of heavies, 0/10 tournie
16:17 ?
Kragg? Loxodont?
low tier commentary
Watch this on mute. It will be better that way.
Clairen nerfs incoming this character gets way too much off of playing so little game
If it's like the first game, you have to hitfall to get the good links so it should be fine.
Nah, she's balanced. The only reason she seems so good in this tournament is because Boiko is cracked; Clairen's regarded as high B--tier maybe low A-tier by most high-level Rivals 2 players right now.
Clairen apparently gets punished a lot more now compared to the first game.
Skill issue
Most people are putting her at either middle of the cast or bottom half, actually. This game is just really balanced.
First
Not coming to console games going to die
rivals 1 came to xbox and switch years after it already released
It'll probably come to consoles later on like the original game did.
