@@allaur2 I mean I don't mind either. I just meant the approach they took on his character. Doing special things with abilities, besides just classic mollies and blinds.
thanks for creating gekko i literally fell in love with him 😭 i love how chill he is and he's always just vibin', it's great to have a different kind of vibe's agent to join
Love these videos about the staff, and creating the maps and agents. I love this game so much, seeing the love being put into the game is magical and incredibly moving.
I couldn't play initiators at all but gekko really changed that. Can't get enough of him. And now I am also trying other initiators too. Thanks Ryan, it really did help.
I absolutely love Gekko. the amount of representation that I've gotten from him is insane. His real name is Mateo which is the Hispanic version of mine (Matthew), both Hispanic, have green hair, loves skateboarding, my little found family is also animals (too many to count), we're both really chill, and while both my parents arent immigrants, my mom is so I'm not sure if that still counts me as first generation or not. But I absolutely love how we're almost the same person. I went days just rambling on to my friends about this new character and how amazing it was that I felt some real representation. And what makes it even better is that my original main was Reyna, and this is the only character she seems to have a real bond with. We both seem to look up to/obsess over Reyna.
While I’m not super big on the relatability concept (not that’s it’s bad it’s cool), it’s cool to see a Mexican-American character in a video game! I’m from the Southwest with a Mexican background so it’s pretty awesome seeing someone like me with both cultures! Also great work you’re all amazing!! 🎉
Thats a great story to tell behind the making of an agent, and how his abilities truly represents the idea of companionship as well as team play. Already having so much fun playing around with it!
I’m so happy and grateful for everyone at Riot Games who made the time and commitment to develop Gekko, he really is a reflection of who I am as both a person and character in the game. He is the main and honestly the only reason I started playing the game, he has that amazing personality, creative and adorable utility, and unique and colorful fashion sense. Thank you, Riot Games.
The companies similar to Riot deserve the popularity, money, etc. from the world since they are the ones that work hard and use time on very small details too like marvel, the realisticity or accuracy to reality in Valorant is amazing sometimes.
idrc about characters looking like me in games, but I have a lot of tattoos, patchwork throughout my arms - and seeing Gekko jus made me smile a bit. I've mostly just been playing him now 4:47 Riot got it spot on
Crazy to think about how the team creates such interesting and unique things like agents and their abilities, maps, etc. Love this game. Wish they did some more creative stuff with competitive
I love him so much. His background, style, vibe and voicelinesss. I’m not great at the game but hearing his wholesome voicelines and overall chill vibes, just makes it all the more fun✨💚
While I’m not from SoCal, I am from NorCal. And being the first-gen in my family really connected me with Gekko. Being a first gen is hard especially when you have TONS of burdens on you. But family is important to me :)

yea. hopefully not the timing on his pets. even tho it is short for cool down. like 4 sec to pick it back up and 10sec for it regenerate back to usage form. like for dizzy ppl are kinda complaining about how it can blind ppl whenever they arent looking at it that they want it to be fix and be like all of the other agents that can blind whne u look away and it dont flash u.
@@vuvinh3147, i doubt they'd nerf him, it's 1 shot to kill, just a learning curve since there wasn't anything like that in the game before, excluding reyna flashes- it has more than enough counter-play, val has a REALLY good balancing team, so i trust
I would love to play with a character who has sharingan rinnegan like abilities and add shinra tensei like voice when he uses his ult that would be so dope.
How about we get to see after a match in stats if teammates and enemies were solo, duo and trio. And we need officials stats menu in public or private view options. And a special loading screen/banner for 5v5. Draft pick would be nice too where we can see players two or three favourites roles with their mains listed.
"LET HIM DEFUSE, LET THE LITTLE GUY DEFUSE" is all i hear when there is a gekko in my team now
everytime i get the spike as a sage main "TAKE THE SPIKE GEKO"
I appreciate those who work so hard to make this game what it is today. Thank you Riot for this really fun game!
Seriously!! The amount of side cinematics along with already such a fun game and great art style, riot by far doesn't deserve the hate it gets

@@ryanlee9150 Now we just need a cinematic starring Breach, maybe his origin story?

An NPC made this comment.
I think we need more agents like Gekko. He's exactly what makes this game special
Yessss
wouldnt hurt to have wholesome agents once in awhile, but id much prefer badass designs

0:45 We can see the ideas for Gekko when he was an inventor kind of character. It's cool to see a behind the scenes look at things
I appreciate the work that it takes to create these characters as well as stories. As of right now, Gekko is my favorite agent.
I’ve never been so inspired by: “Give Gekko the spike”
So much yet to come in valorant makes me wonder how many possibilities!
Nc
You guys all are so great and talented to make such a cool agent with super adorable companion
Gekko is my favorite character by far, I love him so much!
Gekko actually looks a lot like Ryan...the coloured buzzcut, the skating....very cool
Love these videos about the staff, and creating the maps and agents. I love this game so much, seeing the love being put into the game is magical and incredibly moving.
my favourite two agents in the game are yoru and now gekko, the same guy made both of them. shows how talented and creative he really is 🦔❄

Cypher never gets a break...
I couldn't play initiators at all but gekko really changed that. Can't get enough of him. And now I am also trying other initiators too. Thanks Ryan, it really did help.
I love Valorant way too much! I can't wait for what it's coming next!! Appreciate you guys!! ❤
i always get inspired by your work they are getting cooler everytime
I love Gekko and I really appreciate the work of the creative team making a character that really feels like a bro. I feel like I know a Gekko or two.

Being hispanic from SoCal Gekko is exactly the type of character I'd like to play. Y'all did awesome with his phrases !!
I need a TV show. Arcane was sooooo good! I know a Valorant inspired show would rule!
Yeah, Game development has never been Riot's strong suit.

so proud of ryan and the team

Gekko takes it from 5v5, to 9v5.
This is exactly what I wanted to know from the developers and how their thought processes! ❤

I honestly like the work that they put in to the game. Keep it up Riot!
So freaking dope Riot stuff like this just makes players like me love the game that much more

Overall a very cohesive agent, i love him! Thanks for putting so much effort!!
Cohesive aside from Moshpit IMO.
We finally found who Gekko looks like the most
I love him so much. His background, style, vibe and voicelinesss. I’m not great at the game but hearing his wholesome voicelines and overall chill vibes, just makes it all the more fun✨💚
Okay, those initiator entries were clean asf especially the Pearl one
Valorant devs are giving their best to make it cool, Appreciated ❤️👏
Gekko Vibe Check has been passed since day 1
I just love his small team he has with his best Partner Wingman
While I’m not from SoCal, I am from NorCal. And being the first-gen in my family really connected me with Gekko. Being a first gen is hard especially when you have TONS of burdens on you. But family is important to me :)

Gekko got me back into playing this game we need more characters like him 👊🏼
So much more is coming from riot, and I appreciate how they improve the game and make it fun for everyone.

Great to see freddie mercury voicing gekko
Bro cypher just cant stop dying
As a Pokémon trainer I LOVE HIM AND HIS KIT
Ryan prob made every cool agent in this game
Ayyy fam 57 Minutes early gonna enjoy this one :)
Now we just need a spanish speaking agent from Spain.
E um do Portugal!
I am so confused
"We wanted to create something light and approachable"
Are they really talking about the Gekko?
Gekko is my fav I love him so much
always sick videos
New map leak... Can't wait for episode 7
i see how gekko got create now because the creator want to create it
I don't feel a thing when I throw a companion. "good luck mosh." "aww man wingman got shot. Better get the spike." Dizzy's dead? Jett stop trolling."
i like the gekko ultis first they are strong second they are cute and drawable
I just hope they don’t nerf him

I like valorant's approach to solve in game problems. Oh no one wants to plant the spike? Now the Gekko players are always asking for the spike.
My man wants some sleep give him some
We should get a farm themed agent, but no matter what all the agents riot makes are epic
Skye mentions a farm at times.
Gekko is just a metropolitan hipster with lime green hair and supernatural bubble baby squirts. Okay it's imaginative, but very weird.

YOOOO I NEED THAT SONG IN THE END
4:58 no way Ryan has the icon of Neon's Ult tatooed behind his ear! this is so adorable! ♥ iirc he has philipino origins, right?
ayy you got sharp eyes
this is awesome!!! can you make a canadian agent?
Oh god geeko is a self-insert
Voice actor was like drunk and not taking the work seriously
LETS GOOO
Bro the dev literally looks like Gekko 💀💀
What a cool guy :D
those concept arts seems so TB Choi ngl
give this man some sleep he looks he's about to fall off
Good afternoon. I would like to know if the game will ever be added to the Geforce NOW service?
1:03 petition to have that camera toggle in game! I wanna have selfie with my squad
Try sova owl cam
Best game ever ❤
My main agent however i would wanted so the gekko can fake plant with the animal it would leave more different playstyle for tournament
Awesome
Imagine if Moshpit can be picked up if he lands a kill.
Still no Agent 8
Still No Agent ∞
5:16 why did it have to be Cypher 😭😭😭😭
Even in this interview video, cypher dies
will there be a server for our region at all? us southern africans are just left in the dust
Finnish kaljamaha-agent when?
Nice. They spent so much time on this im glad they got gekko out. nerf chamber
Every time a new update comes , game crashes and i get afk penalty . please inform when is the next update so i can save my rank.
I quit the game bc I just found it boring but I main gekko and it genuinely makes me enjoy the game. Wingman’s my little superhero
Where can i find your ivory cardigan?
