You said “if you’re used to zoners in 2D games” and my zoner neurons started firing. Been looking for a character like this in tekken thank you for the guide

It's 2024 now. Anything you'd change from this list?

I just picked the Legendary edition of the game up over the weekend on Steam's turn-based RPG sale, and am a couple of hours in. Seems like a sold buy so far. For a first playthrough on Normal, would you recommend this mod or not? Like is there anything about how the story plays out, or the way the game tries to teach you how to play it, that will be contradicted by the mod?

You can get resist mod on rapid healing it’s an amazing card lol

Good video but volune way too low

I’ve played the game a few times and I can’t say I’ve ever found strange useful maybe I’m just playing him wrong gonna have to try and use him another time

wait the jack one, does f1+2,1+2 works? i forgot which one, but it's kazuya's 3 hit move that ended with him hitting the ground and he become demon and it's a heat engager, it has a big push on block you could punish it with f+1+2, 1+2 not optimal, but technically you can

First tip is worse than ducking and wr2 no? Gets you full launched from the other df1 options and gives less too.

Great video! Nice concise way to see some of her tech. I've played her most of the alpha lab and wanted to add some follow ups for people. Obviously we know her 6S1 is incredibly powerful, with a giant hit box. It's a great way to control space in neutral for a couple of reasons. One - it destroys projectiles. You can absolutely blow up an Ekko who is relying on using his projectile to control space with 6S1. It will also destroy Ahri fireballs (timing is tougher.) Finally, it will destroy Yasuo's tornado, again denying his space control. Two - 6S1 gives a full combo on counter hit. You want to look for the red X on hit to recognize the counter hit (hopefully they make this more visual like in SF6.) From a counter hit 6S1 gives a really nice easy combo - what I do from the counter hit is - Dash > M > H > 5S2 > 5S1 and then you have a couple different choices with varying degrees of difficulty to end from here. Most difficult and most damage is after the 5S1, immediately do 4S1 > Dash > M > H > 3H > Jump > Air.H > Air.S1 > Land > Air.H > Air.S2 > 22S1. End it however you like but the start is always the same after counter hit. Anyways - yeh abuse the 5S1 guys, it's an insane button that covers a lot of space, just don't mash it because you will get punished.

So best case scenario we return to neutral? This character is so oppressive ...

Thank you for your 2xko videos, one of the best content right now :)

Make one for ahri she seems to have infinite strings

There are illaoi mid screen combos that summon and use a tentacle without assist. Using S2 to launch them then 4S1 to throw them up. You have enough time to run up and do M, H, Launcher or after the 4S1 you micro dash into a slightly charged 6S2 that launches them. And you have a tentacle to continue the combo from there.

As someone who's been playing some Illaoi recently, I thought it was going to look something like this: 1: → S1 2: Be in a position to whiff punish if they smack your tentacles 3: → S1 4: If you use 2x Assist, you can set your self/partner up for a combo with → T, ← T 5: → S1

Neat video, cheers! I'm having so much fun with Illaoi, I was a dhalsim main in SF6 and can def see some similarities. Also can see some of my Ramlethal in there too, specially the corner pressure

Hey good vid, just wanted to let you know illaoi has midscreen tentacle combos that arent too hard. I recommend searching for "Illaoi Combo Guide | 2XKO Alpha Lab" by aeroezz, specifically the one at the "cross-up level 2" timestamp. Its more reliable then the first few midscreen combos and offers a good amount of damage.

This was very helpful, you're great at explaining. Thank you.

Good video, but I have one major comment: you cant block during prejump in this game so if you always try to fuzzy jump for the low/hook mixup, darius can target the prejump frames with a slight delay on the first hit of s2, sort of like IB targetting in BB. I have tried it on a cpu set to all block and jump back out of block. That would then open up parry as an option to beat delayed s2/ hook. That would then lose to doing nothing. I think this game has a lot of these little 50/50s that are only 50/50s if both players know they're happening, which is probably not happening in an alpha

I can't beat Darius if I can't play the game. 😢

Game isn't out yet, and we have an anti Darius guide. How is dude broken in two games at once 😂

Would love a darius guide now. Best buttons how to approach neutral etc.!

Anyone else feel like there should have been more characters in this game?

Apparently, Superjump after his Heavy attack completely avoids the hook LOL!

For the hook: Darius can delay the command grab to react to the jump. That sounds like some weird precise thing, but I did it on accident. Someone braindead mashing isn't likely to do that. Someone going out of their way to not mash is very likely to do it (assuming they know about it). The only reason I know is that I did it first try on accident trying to record the combo (L > M > H > S1 > H) for the bot in training. Similar to your argument of "the hook is really easy to see coming", it's really easy to react to if they jumped or not. The slide is cool and works if you're not backed into the corner. But it resets neutral, and you're that much closer to the corner after. Not to mention that it has direct counter-play (he can hit the low like you showed) so you can't just always do it. Parry works always, but has super high damage scaling, so you're going to get like maybe 25-30% damage. And the reaction timing is tight before Darius can just block again since you have to close the gap some to begin your combo. Risk/reward isn't really great for this. You risk taking way more damage *and* losing meter. So basically hook counter-play is: Hope he doesn't delay his command grab even a tiny bit. Slide if you're not in the corner. Take a huge risk to get a tiny damage (relative to the damage you take if you mess up the parry) punish. Can't jump if they're not mashing. Can't slide if you're in corner. Biggest complaint people have for this character is how safely oppressive he is. This "counter-play" doesn't help. He's not spending meter to floor you halfway across the screen. You shouldn't have to spend meter to avoid it. For the Red Slash: You cover in the video why "just jump" isn't good, and the "just jump" when it does work disregards the down-side to taking chip and bleed damage. You can slide back out of (L > M > H > S2 > S2), but only if you slide *both* after H and after the first S2. This combo has a ton of knockback in block, so this is almost never applicable just because of how far this block-string pushes you back, but if you have the space to do it, you can avoid the bleed. You can parry, but he's so far away from the parry knockback that you cannot punish him. This is to his advantage, because a lot of the matchup is working on closing the gap to begin with. Again, the biggest complaint is how safely oppressive he is. The parry is a tight window. Even if you hit the few-frame skill check, your reward is getting to keep the maybe 5% of your health you would have lost to bleed damage. The *only* things above that lead to any type of punish due to outplay is if they're mashing and you jump the hook (which leads to a lot of damage, to be fair), or if you parry the hook (which leads to very little damage due to parry damage scaling). Games like this are very much 2-3 hit games (2-3 combos will kill). Darius is the only character I have no fun playing against because there is no punishment for him throwing attacks out across the screen, and I get punished for blocking his large attacks (due to both bleed and chip damage).

Cannot do Iron Man challenge because of New Plans changes. its not how mods should work imho

Do you still do Midnight Suns? would love to see a Deadpool and Wolverine team with blade if you still do XD.

I noticed a lot of maxi slander. whats with that? ive been playing recently, and ive been able to beat legendary pretty consistently. ive been getting gold on very hsrd arcade, and beating most of my friends with him. soul charge is really good, and the combos are pretty cool when you use thr more advanced tech. by far my strongest character. most maxi players suck, but i dont think maxi is bad

The strange deck has 5 skill cards and I can't build it, is there some upgrade I'm missing?

Dark Blessing is always used with Heal when they both in hand. Only need it once, good for a redraw after first use

Does Unleashed card boost her passive?

Couldn't disagree more about Dark Hunter. Don't get me wrong, I also use some light cards like Holy Spark, but Annihilation is infinitely better than Bladestorm, imo. I've used both extensively and have no problem doing 1,000+ AoE damage with Annihilation. Also, Wild Strike does so much damage that it's worth taking the vulnerable, especially if you have resist. And yes, I'm also playing on Ultimate 3. Got there before the end of Act 1, too, and have not lost a mission ever.

I would say you're incorrect about annihilation just being "ok". It is hands down the strongest AoE that uses all your heroism (yes worldbreaker is stronger and hits everything for just 6, and yes I love a well placed bladestorm as much as you probably do) because the hunter has one of the highest base offense numbers from what I've seen which translates to huge damage on the AoE. If we're talking about heroism sinks, I'd rather have annihilation then Strange's Seven Suns (he has fairly low offense) or the randomness of midnight special or Nico's Crack (tbf though the latter two are quite strong on their own right) But having found your channel through the "worst cards for each character" video, I definitely have reevaluated some of what I thought was good until you mentioned it. At least I was in agreement with more than half of those bad cards prior to watching!

Interesting takes, so you have a video like this for the dlc characters?

I lost it for this video when it has Dr. Strange card Astral Meditation listed as bad. This card is almost broken and one of the most OP in the game.

Thanks for the help, I'm new at the game and I'm completely lost, been playing in heroic II difficult and only getting 2/1 stars I'm always broke except for the ingredients on the garden lol

appreciate this, have an insane amount of hours in this game know almost every character in and out but she's my weakest character

Curious how Hunter has so much offence. When I start a NG or NG+, my Hunter is level 1 and attacks do 5 damage, whereas your Hunter deals 22 with Slash in your starting hand.

Good stuff mate. What you doing here is very important for getting better overall All the little punishments will add up As for his ranking in the meta, i was to classify him as a solid mid tier. But my opinion has change I say he is top 10 now The main factor is his wall pressure in particular, df3,1 being hit confirmable If tge devs nerf that string, they will almost kill the character His wall pressure is out of this world ma Oneof the best in the game

Do you have a discord server?

Amazing work. Small problem, my Stormshield+ still applies 2 Resist to the team instead of 1, is this a known bug? I just noticed it because it screamed OP at me the moment I saw it in game.

There is a sneak cancel out of a single jab, som1 know how to do it?

Overload a complete waste of a card ,got rid of that as soon as possible.

I wished they'd come back, at least make hulk jump around like venom

I like to have 2 Always Angrys for hulk. Damn near unstoppable..... Then again I'm playing on heroic 3

Have you thought about doing top decklists for the DLC characters? I use almost all of the decks from your previous video for the base characters and I’ve had a lot of success. I was hoping you might make a video for DLC characters. The explanations you gave them here went a long way towards understanding how they should work, but seeing a whole deck list from someone who knows what they’re doing would be awesome.

Nico kinda meh, but her multi spells did save me and even turn the tide of the battles for me a few times.

Is there a way to fix Magik's gather animation??

having 1 card or 2 copy of the same card. how does it matter? I mean how does this card draw mechanic work each turn? does 1 copy means after I use it once in a turn I wont get that card again for the whole battle or for the turn?
