[@skyssleepy]

the price is way more insane

[@ikene3375]

Insanely bad

[@M3RT_29]

is that the reason why we dont have a replay system....
so that we cant look back ?

These animations just keep getting better and better.

[@ao2415]

it would also be better if we get a replay system

[@jonny7444]

Cost of 2 triple A games for those animations

[@Rhymemany]

Its not an animation what do you mean? 💀

[@MrFunniWifi]

​@@Rhymemanyhes talking about the gun ofc

[@sparkz992]

Yeah and the price keeps getting higher and higher 😂

[@captainhyperion2936]

The Yoru entry with the Kuronami bundle showcase was fire

[@theomnibenevolence]

it would be awesome if we could see the entry in different angles. possibly using a relay system to do so

[@johnsonjunior547]

too bad the only japanese thing about the bundle is the tsuka-ito wrap on the guns (and the kunai obv). Its just added by name "kuronami" to attract the weebs

[@ND-to1wi]

What is the size of the update ?

[@pororokun1597]

nah dude it's water

[@ctton]

yoru didnt entry, he flanked

[@TheGreenmlin]

Really cool how we can just go back and watch this again, just like a replay system.

[@mrgandy28]

The Outlaw gun is so insane, that also will be more insane if we get replay system

[@_PixelPie_]

Fr lol

[@slickimz223]

Not funny, srsly

Just so u can use it once then forget about it

Stop man

[@aidanvicente1369]

This is great! If only we can rewatch this in Valorant with a replay system.

[@Ala_tus]

The outlaw looks so cool, i wish i could see some of my best kills with a replay system

[@Mythpathz]

Yes and we already get new gun for sniper slot but also would be good if they add more guns for smgs, Assault and shotgun to fill the gap.

[@sparkz992]

​@@Mythpathz That would be waaaay to many guns for this game

[@anoguser146]

​​@@Mythpathzit's hard to add guns because of balancing, the gun might be to weak/bad, too good for it's price ( for example it has a lower price but way better than for example the vandal ) maybe it gets outclassed by other guns

[@PuhLiz]

​ @BEERUSOZ it's not easy , it's not battle royal , there would always be one gun which is slightly better in the same price , like literally take outlaw for example, only people who are good in sniping would use it , for 2400 , most vandal mains would buy a guardian instead .

[@matrixxd004]

give the editors some raise 🔥

[@rummyq1507]

Lmao they will charge us for this to happen, next bundle 20000 VP

[@rodrigoreis6615]

and replay system

[@adiwithdatriplei]

DAYUM, this animation is fire and btw kuronami styles might be the best ever since valorsnt dropped so good and detailed

[@JawFPS]

Here before the Replay system comments 🗣👍💯🔥🔥‼‼

[@fakmwah10yearsago86]

This act would look so good in a replay system

[@depressionologist]

I hope I get to see myself use the Kuronami with a replay system.

[@cosmosignite6589]

Chamber after killing the Kay/o be like: "Toaster is broken!"

[@steps9292]

Was wait for an hour for this to pop up on my feed..let's goooo!!

Actually crazy to see these trailers with insane plays.

I can't wait to play in the Icebox and especially the new gun and kuronami bundle is too awesome

[@pablodoral]

I LOVE the kick off trailers !!

[@eto_raion0713]

the yoru scene looks like the valorant sheriff tiktoks we all saw like 3-4 months ago. DOPE AF

[@madixSamp]

This montage is a masterclass....Wow !

[@Vivek-qc8qo]

Transitions were just top notch smooth af

[@_PixelPie_]

The knife on Cypher, Chamber and Breach was disrespectful 💀

[@US_Galleries]

valorant you are the best...........literally I have no words to express my excitement

[@Panda-sx9eb]

those kills are actually insane, it'd be great to see them in a replay system

[@kashi6957]

looks sick, might download and play some.

[@smitbuha4756]

a replay system is all we want

[@myoconnective8609]

they'd have to change the entire way the game works lmao, cause if we replay that one time you shot a guy and the bullets hit him and did 0 damage all the same, the replay will show you didnt even shoot, according to the server

[@TimothyLockwoodinMexico]

​@@myoconnective8609they wouldn't have to change how the game works at all. Everyone knows that it wouldn't be synced perfectly. I want a replay system so I can look at my games after and improve as well as understand how we got flanked or missed a corner ect.....

[@TheEren900]

Wtf are you talking about? Chinese client literally has a replay system...@@myoconnective8609

they are already working on it though, they said it awhile ago
