I think the critical takeaway here is that no game ever really dies. When we take advantage of the resources at our disposal and work together, we the community can make anything happen. Thanks, Esteban.
I also found out about UNIST through BBTag. I wasn't a fighting game person before, but I got BBTag because I like Persona and RWBY. Ended up not even playing BBTag much because I quickly bought UNIST and absolutely fell in love. When I first saw BBTag's announcement trailer, I never expected that weird UNIST game I had never heard of to be my favorite part of it.
There's something so magical watching a relatively obsure fighting game and it's community keep growing until it hits it's big moment like reaching the EVO mainstage. I remember when I first discovered UNI with UNIEL and was just blown away by the depth of the mechanics. And then I saw how insane the game got at high level and now I am scared of being stuck in the corner against Byakuya and his absurd web traps.
I really enjoy UNIST its just a lot of fun to play never knew the history was that big with this game and how dedicated the community is its awesome. cant wait for UNICLR next week
"If this gets into EVO, I'll play this game." What a shitty approach to fighting games. No game ever really dies. Especially with discord around, you REALLY can find a player base for anything. Play a game because it's fun. Not to chase clout.
This video was great I really enjoyed it. I'm glad to have been a part of making our community what it is today, here's to now years of under night success!
UNIST a game is always a unique case for me, i was hesitantly picked the game because the community is dead small in my local yet it is a damn straight fun yet full of depth game, when i saw unist finally getting into evo it was like THANK GOD this game was finally getting the attention it always deserves
I really like UnderNight, i wish i could play it more but i live in Angola and no one plays it here :( Wish the game had crossplay and rollback netcode...
Rollback netcode would be great but fuck no to crossplay. I don’t wanna play against retard console Wi-Fi warriors who have never seen an ethernet cord in their lifetime.
A great documentary! I always found the game interesting(see it alot on streams) but did't really know its story, till now. Still, its strange the devs did't do more to market the game.. Then again, fighting games seem to be into a league of their on in that regard.
Was anyone else unable to think of anything but Melee when he started talking about how important it is to not get to a point where you only have old hardcore players and no one new picking up the game? XD
Last year we hosted a small tournament at my LGS and decided to put UNIST on the lineup we pulled almost 20 players. The EVO announcement sparked a huge boom in the community and I hope the UNICLR release makes it even bigger.
is so charming to see this kind of video. Although i know the game is fun , and i want grow the number, but in Taiwan any kind of fighting game is too small to grow, i tried make a article make tutorail everythong i can do i do it about 1 year, but it seem people dont get interesting in any kind of fighting game (gg..uni..ect)， maybe Taiwanese only like Kof (SAD)， hope 1 day i can see the light , beside kof ,other fighting game player base will grow
I think it's a testament to the amount of trust and respect Brett has built up across the years when it takes me half the video to remember this is the dude who casually ignited certain elements with the Eltnum JAV tweet.
Easily one of my favorite Fighting games of the decade like I love the Characters and the whole story of the game and the gameplay is Oh so good great thing I'm getting Collectors edition of [C-lr] Tommorow
The story of UNI and its community is really inspiring and the time it came to Evo it was when i first got into it, and other Anime FGs in general. Im not gonna lie, i do wish this could happen to Skullgirls, one day...
When I first played UNIclr, I first played arcade mode and watched all of the stories in chronicle mode. Based off the plot of each character in the game I thought: "There is definitely going to be a sequel." If there is going to be a sequel the characters that I would love or look more than capable of being playable would be: Tsurugi (member of EFG) Komatsu (member of EFG) Joker (member of Amnesia) Uzuki (member of Amnesia) Silvaria (second in command of the Licht Kreis) Kaguya Seikaiguu (member of Licht Kreis and Orie's friend) Zohar (former member of Bankikai and comrade of Strix) Radiata (an Autonomic Nerve like Vatista) Reflecta (another Autonomic Nerve) Murayama (one of Wagner's attendants) Sakurai (another one of Wagner's attendants) Adelheid (leader of the Licht Kreis) Kuon (Linne's brother) A member or two from Ritter Schild (I would have like to add Roger and Orge, but they're dead.)
Yeah, Tag really helped out. I knew about Uni before, but Tag made UNI from "the hell is this game doing with Bb, Rwby and persona" to "hey, this characters are pretty neat" to "hey, this game is pretty cool!" Sadly, Tag didn't make it to the EVO this year. Which is even more sad since 2.0 fixed a lot of problems. I hope that Tag will keep on keeping on and will make it back to the EVO next year, this game is fun to watch.
Akatsuki is literally the reason why I love Under Night In-Birth, and he's the reason why I love his main series. Still waiting for En-Eins to appear in Under Night In-Birth 2
Fate/Unlimited Codes, Melty Blood, and UNIST were my first true foray into fighting games after being one of those outsiders who looked at traditional fighting games nervously. Even if I'm not really that good (though have definitely gotten better in the past half year), those three games showed me the fun of fighting games tbh. Definitely plan to get UNICLR sometime in the future.
I love uni..watching this game from Alpha stage when it was unib to what it is now is like watching a baby grow I love this game and the community and I hope it continues to grow
Just got this game a few days ago after eyeing it for a while, and seeing this just makes me even more excited. Lookin forward to joining the community XD
UNIB going this far was an unlikely thing, did see the early days of wacky infinites and Gordeau/Merkava dominance, but yeah holy shit it's so cool to see it make it at Evo as well as see another revision for it! Awesome documentary, man!
7:37 Its pretty amazing how broken Gord was in UNI compared to his appearance in BBTAG. He WAS broken there too for a time, but after Gorby. Got booted to bottom teir once he got nerfed to oblivion. Im nervous but quite excited to see what they do with him in UNI 2. I really want him to get some new moves, but if nothing else. I just want him to be fair and balanced. Hopefully along with the rest of the cast.
It’s sad that not a lot of people played this game, I recently got into the game right after Cross Tag Battle and was interested in the characters that were crossed over. Then I bought the game and have been playing for a while, even if it’s just arcade (cause my internet is real sucky) I still have fun. And yeah Gordeau is crazy powerful but I love him.
I just got into the latest version of UNIB after been gifted by a friend just filling dust, until that same friend asked me to play and i said "yea sure", and the game is fricken great. Like the video said, it's hard to pin-point exactly what the mechanics are familiar from, not like SF, KoF, GG, deep mechanics yet not so hard to pick the pace on like GG 10 hours of actually knowing how to not die instantly, me and my homie play it since then everyday. It's a great game, Gudeau, Yuzuriha, Waldstein and Akatzuki are my top players. And even if the only online people i've found so far are guys playing Wagner at 500K RP points (all veterans), it's still fun to see how i can push them and so far i won at least once againts a Vatista, dumb long range, weak short-range lmao.
@@tmig2182 I'm east coast! If youre in the dmv area we run a tourney for smash but have a good dedicated unist group on the side that plays a lot on Sunday nights
I found this game through NihongoGamer, this game is really interesting from what ive seen, havnt played much so I can really expirience for the first time with my friend
I'm gonna be completely honest I had never heard of UNI until the announcement of Bbtag and that was because I was a fan of persona and RWBY and had heard of Blazblue in general in passing thanks to recently taking a big interest in the competitive side of fighting games thanks to guys like AphexArcade and KI while I'm not great and definitely a casual in UNICLR its a game I enjoy to watch and enjoy to play with friends cause were all bad lmao let's hope it sticks around a lot longer
If only Fighting Climax Ignition begin redeem themselves to get recognitions this year, through advising both Sega & ASCII to follow a same method as what Team Arcana (formerly w/ Examu) & Square-Enix did w/ MAAB aside renew licensing collaborations. There might be alternates: * Localize DFCI under new title update (which feature Crossing Void introduced playable fighters & assists) to PC only. Japanese version remains having Switch & PS4 versions * Adds both Akira Yuki (from Sega’s Virtua Fighter) & Yukina Himeragi (from ASCII/Dengeki Bunko’s Strike the Blood) as post-launch paid DLCs (last guests) for UNICLR * Both
As someone who remembers the fighting game dark ages (2003-2009), so many people put way too much emphasis on the EVO main stage to get approval to play a game. Just play what you like fam. Dem GGPO VSAV/Garou days when the lobbies were EMPTY was sad. At least you kids get content creators and crossplay as an option now. And its not like Side tourneys at EVO were never a thing.
It might be late since no more blazblue at evo (and itll be a long time since we see the return because the blazblue story is over and bbtag is ongoing) but you mentioned something about blazblues weird history. Have you covered that? Will you cover that one day
Who came back to this video after the Lunar incident? That stupid thing made the Climax of Night founder Shinobi look pretty petty lol. At least we got to see an entertaining SonicFox freak out
As much as I have a strong dis-taste for BBTAG I feel like we have to give it at least some credit for uni's big explosion. Especially because of Ruby and Persona
Thanks for watching our look into Under Night and its community! Excited to see the game return to Evo this year with a new update?
I'm excited to finally be able to play the game on switch!
I hope Osshu-Hitto (the Seth who lost in grands last year) wins this year as a Seth main since UNIEL.
I may support further and buy the Switch edition.
I think the critical takeaway here is that no game ever really dies. When we take advantage of the resources at our disposal and work together, we the community can make anything happen. Thanks, Esteban.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

I love how under night is slowly moving up in the world and i would love it more if it had an anime.
Has a fighting game ever had an anime that turned out to be actually good? As much as I love Under Night, maybe it's best that they just don't...
No, it doesn't work, look at BlazBlue
I like anime to much to disagree
persona has an anime and its generally considered meh. probably would be best to just not do it.
Persona was an rpg originally but I guess the point still stands
I remember discovering this game through BBTAG and being enamored by the game's mechanics. Hope the UNI scene grows even more this year
Iravan Gesmundo I hope Under Night in Birth get more Guest Characters

Adult swim? Tf are u on about?
UNIST being at EVO pushed me over the edge and made me do the trip to Vegas for the first time. Great doc btw

This game is strangely addicting. The whole grid system and unique character roster really intrigues me.
Just starting to learn this game now, it rules
Man... RIP Evo 2020
History repeats itself in the most wonderful ways sometimes.
Welcome back UNI. Can’t wait to get back to the night.
I really enjoy UNIST its just a lot of fun to play never knew the history was that big with this game and how dedicated the community is its awesome. cant wait for UNICLR next week

A crossplay between ps4 and switch would be great,let the few pc players alone in their corner

I came for a lore video but I got even more reasons to love this game and its community. Incredible video!
It's been a few years since I've found this game and I don't even remember how, but it really makes my heart thump seeing how much it's grown.
Great Documentary! I'm genuinely happy to see the UNI scene come this far from what it was in 2012.
A great documentary!
