Just an update: The streetwave Olympia skin came out a week after this video was completed which is why it's not in the video. It functions identically to streetwave wrastor. Instead of rollerblades though she as a skateboard. They also gave transparency to champion Olympia (her gauntlets and crystals), champion Mollo's fur, and champion Pomme's hair. Golden Olympia also has sparkles now. Champion hodan was released. He has transparency on his towel, and very slight transparency on his face. For his taunt, he pulls out a banana(instead of a trophy like the rest of the champion skins), presents the banana, and eats the banana. You can hold taunt to continuously eat the banana. Go to sleep Maypul Is out. You can only get this by backing the Rivals 2 kickstarter. Her taunt is that you pull out a pillow and sleep on it. Lily is now a plant holding a candle and sleeps as well during taunt. She also throws cookies instead of seeds.
The Ragnir skin on Maypul has a backstory to it. The Rivals and Brawlhalla Twitter accounts had a challenge where whichever account reached a follower milestone first, the loser had to put a character skin from the winner's game in their game. Rivals lost. By a LOT. But the guys at Brawlhalla were still good sports about it, so in Brawlhalla, there's also a skin for Wu Shang that replaces him with Ranno, complete with custom weapons.
I did just realize an actual unique feature about the Abyss skins, that cannot be replicated with custom colors. When you get KO'd, the blast from the edge of the screen is purple instead of being based on your player color.
A few corrections on the elli skins: Golden elli is less of a reference to gundam, and more Gurren Laggan which is still a mech anime The reason why is because said anime has lots of motifs & importance on drills, and one of elli's weapons is a drill (Most likely in reference to that.) The pointing up pose references a few moments in the show where characters do this during monolouges And the other is for the champion skin. As far as I can tell, she's more evil laughing that she's won/is victorious before the steam of her trophy overheats and blows up in her face.
I'll be entirely honest, I thought Gundam was the name of the genre of anime, which is why I didn't mention gurren laggan specifically. Kinda embarrassing I know 😅.
summit kragg also has the same color-shifting effect to orcane, just a lot less pronounced since he doesnt rotate as much, you can see it pretty clearly when you crouch
29:03 "Turning her mech into a ****literal**** Gundam" *Snorts* Okay *Pushes up redditor glasses* Pray-tell... Which literal Gundam does Eliana's mech literally turn into???!!!
@@emceehawaii7542 that sounds nice still:. maybe I should play ranked then to get gold ori.. even though I’m not good at the game even though I had it for like years now qmq
@@Trupera I'm actually really happy about it. I'm glad that they'll be preserved in some way so that you can get them well after rivals 1 events are done.

*early to bed Maypul
I found out something, every character would have a season skin in the select screen, one time I waited till Halloween and the skins were awesome

🤔
Honestly never seen someone make this mistake seriously

I have been looking for a video filling my niche interests for a while now! Great video!
Pretty sure Hero!Clairen's Taunt is also a nod to one of Link's in Smash.
I now know it's not that, but panda etalus always reminded me of 1 of the 2 workshop characters made by a rivals dev, guadua
everytime I match into someone using the genesis sylvanos skin my game runs in slow motion
Every other update it seems like sylvanos ruins the online experience. Sad times indeed.
I don't even really like playing this game, but it's super cool to hear about where all these cosmetics came from! Some of those have a ton of charm!
Yo, great video, I been looking for this for a while!
I'm new to your channel, so I'm assuming that because no one has mentioned that you keep calling Link "Zelda" that it's a running joke.
"if you want a gameboy version of you're favourite furry" omg im dead XD so true
summit kragg also has the same color-shifting effect to orcane, just a lot less pronounced since he doesnt rotate as much, you can see it pretty clearly when you crouch
Thank you for making the video I am far too busy/lazy to make myself, liked and subbed
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Big fan of this video
Did you unironically call link Zelda or was that a joke though
@@CasualScrub the world may never know 😃
34:40
oh no
i liked ur opinions lol they were funny ty i was able to see all of the skins ty ily
Has anyone corrected you on Link's name, yet? I'm too lazy to read the comments.
Wish all these skins was included on the switch oh well
29:03 "Turning her mech into a ****literal**** Gundam" *Snorts* Okay *Pushes up redditor glasses*
Pray-tell... Which literal Gundam does Eliana's mech literally turn into???!!!
Calmly says “America f yeah”
Time to update this bro
@@dankl3ss194 there's like, 3 skins to update it with lol.
Are the DLC skins exclusive to the steam version of the game?
To my knowledge yes, but you can only buy some of the skins on steam. All others you need to buy on tournament websites.
@@emceehawaii7542 ok, thank you
Letting you know… in the comments!
U know what genesis kragg's taunt is a reference to right?
No idea, do tell
@@emceehawaii7542 100% accurate character taunts
Good video
Question, did Ori ever have a golden skin? I never remembered if they did
Or well.. if it ever got one. Sadly I don’t believe so now that I think about it
@@mynameispoopyjeff8228 Ori never got a golden skin, although Ori did get a gold skin for ranked mode. Just not a plushie skin.
@@emceehawaii7542 so.. it’s technically possible to get a ori gold skin? But just not from buying a plushie? I hope i got that right qwq
@@mynameispoopyjeff8228 pretty much. The gold ranked skin doesn't have any special attributes though. It's just shiny.
@@emceehawaii7542 that sounds nice still:. maybe I should play ranked then to get gold ori.. even though I’m not good at the game even though I had it for like years now qmq
Whats ur opinion on these skins coming out as packs now?
@@Trupera I'm actually really happy about it. I'm glad that they'll be preserved in some way so that you can get them well after rivals 1 events are done.
Wait was the burrito kragg skin thin true? Does their twitter still give away skin codes sometimes?
Yeah but not often at all. Maybe once a year
They could've made Skins that are NO LONGER obtainable paid DLC which would've been smart in my opinion to be honest. But oh well. 🤷
Hopefully they sell them all on steam once rivals 2 comes out.
They did!!!
gud vid
I cook-a da meatball
is it Ranno or Rayno?
Ranno
7:35
You called Link by Zelda's name. Fake gamer alert, very classic. Disliked and reported 👌
@emceehawaii7542 are there any ways to get these skins again?
