Give characters a high, mid and low detection boxes that check to see where the bulk of a move is hitting on the opponent shield or block.

If you want an insane fighting game you should play RAKUGAKI SHOWTIME dawg

Here to say I FW that VLC Media Player-ass jacket you have in your closet. Nice video, big dog, keep up the good work!

Great video! That rock-paper-scissors mechanic reminds me of the Rumbleverse Priority System (normal hits had priority over grabs, grabs broke shields and shields protected you from normal hits, although there were other mechanics that could affect this system like doing a sort of Parry to grabs with the shield, special attacks, powered attacks, items/weapons, etc, but that system was the basis of the game).

If only they more dev time and haven't announce the release date early, that shouldn't be a problem but no! And Seriously the LV 9 AI in Brawl 2. :(

Is this rps mechanic in nasb2

Worth noting that for a good while the RPS mechanics just didn't work - the direction you were traveling overwrote the direction of the strong attack (this bug came and went a few times iirc). While this was funny in friendlies it sucked trying to do anything that wasn't a specific optimal combo as a punish in bracket most of the time. EDIT: Looking through the comments and so many old Pat mains are here <3

I would have personally taken another slap city over nasb

combo devils is doing something kinda similar to the high/low mechanic with its directional shields. Since the shield actually visually moves around you get more direct feedback as to what your inputs are doing before you get hit. The game isn't out yet so I'm not sure on the specifics but I think it's a matter of your opponent pokes your block if their hitbox doesn't align with your shield slice. I actually didn't realize nasb had this mechanic, when they explained it in the mechanics breakdown I misinterpreted it as you hold in the direction your opponent is positioned as they hit you, which may have made more intuitive sense I think. Great video tafaar, have a good rest of your night.

Since we want Lincoln back, We need more Loud House characters like Lori, Luan, Luna, Leni, Lynn (Jr), Clyde and Ronnie Anne the reason because for all Loud House fans and the older sisters including Lynn (Jr) are great choices. :)

strange seeing rps of all things get this praise because its the one thing i remember getting the most backlash in grinders anyway the one thing this game got right was patrick snair

k thats great can we fix pat grabs now

it was also unfortunate that for the longest time during the game rps was also a little buggy/broken that winning a rps would sometimes still get you punished I think its current state is definitely a decent spot for it but its definitely a mechanic you have to balance the game around so its not something every game should implement

been a beleaver since DAY ONE BABY. LONG LIVE THE BEAVE

I love this new era of content tafaar. Please don’t stop. As one of the team leads on community edition, I love this game, and a big reason is because of the defensive mindgames. The offensive meta has evolved to be all about mind games against parrying through not only mixing up their options but also what timings they throw your options out (think of mixing up sdair and ldair on block to create different parry timings as ptm). It’s something that I don’t think has ever been replicated before in platfighters that I wish more games experimented with. (Shoutout combo devils) Now if I were to remake nasb1 again, I would probably make different animations for each blocking direction and remove the “if you block a move within 10 frames, you get a yellow block” to help newer players understand the concept more visually. One common thing I hear about nasb1 is that the game can be pretty hard to read as a uninformed spectator, which I 100% agree with. As for RPS, while it’s not a perfect system. I think it’s get too much hate. I think the higher risk higher reward aspect of RPS is super fun and creates for some the hypest moments (calling out someone landing with snair with your own sdair will always be the dopamine rush I desire) but it is super unintuitive and doesn’t really follow the block system with what directions you hold. Idk what I would do to fix that but there’s other games like MVC3 with TACs that (excluding the infinites) could work. (Also remove moves like Rocko light up air that kinda just kill you anyways). Overall, a big reason why I wanted to work on CE build is to show that nasb1 has a super strong foundation and all it really needed was time in the oven. I don’t think anyone was happy with how the last patch came out and I know this game can offer so much more than at first glance. So thank you for making this video and thank you for listening to this ted talk. Also clean your room bro 😭

I liked your powdered toast man

"i'm gonna put this book away, but i'm not gonna stop preaching this good word" ✍✍🔥🔥🔥 idk how to feel about rps, it felt pretty unintuitive to me at times. but it was neat as a way to beat out some of the really good & spammable strongs. the one that sticks out in my mind is using snair to beat out updog in theory, it's a neat self-balancing mechanism; you could design some moves to be overtuned on purpose, with the context that if the move gets used more, it's easier to predict it in RPS situations

Another great video! Very interesting indeed. I’ll admit I didn’t like the RPS mechanic when it was first shown in the gameplay showcase, and still do so I’m glad it’s not in the sequel. But hey, it was worth an interesting shot!

Yeah, Brawl 1 did well but who the heck thought that was a Good Idea for taking out 11 Characters like Lincoln in Brawl 2? :) We want Lincoln back in Brawl 3!

Favorite palt fighter

I LOVE RPS!!!

I hope the series gets one more installment and they put stewy the Dog Boy in the game

This why i want don-chan in smash frfr

hell ya i love beaver

Hello tafaar, what do you think about a FT5 against LocusSK?

Honestly the next Smash should have meters I've played a couple Smash clones and the all feel pretty basic it's weird Nick of all things has the most unique take on it

Interesting Smash has the most iconic characters Nasb has the craziest and interesting mechanic designer (krabs and angry beavers) Mvs (althought i dont like) has the best design character of them all (tom and jerry)

The Oregon mention in the video is such a true statement. One of the reasons I gravitate to El Tigre is the character being from Mexico. :D

If this is WITHOUT weapons/tools then Link is going in S tier. He's practically helpless to the point where even the most basic of enemies threaten his life. Any good boxer would beat his ass

NASB2 GOATED

NASB2 VIDEO More people need to talk about this game

I can tell you've never played xenoblade. Pyra and mythra are literally the sword. Being able to fire energy blasts is also only scratching the surface of what they can do. Also, you aren't beating the fire emblem characters. They are literal medieval soldiers with fantasy power scaling.

I'd say Ness depends on level because he usually fights grown adults at level 5 and past that point its mostly robots and stuff

Vegeta + Pikachu = Vegetachu

They shud have kept the rhythm mechanic but make it so all it did was increase meter. The fact that theres no way to increase the meter besides just hitting people feels so wrong

Yo it’s fucking crazy getting your video in my recommended, we were Twitter moots, glad your doing well!

To think Pichu puts up a better fight than Marth, Pit, and Minecraft Steve.

0:03 ……………………………………………………………… Really cool vid! However, AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHGGHDG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO DARES SUMMON THE SACRED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE VEXILLOLOGICAL BOOGALOO!!!!!????

That video actually convinced me now to try this game out. These characters actually look so sick.

This dude jacks off to his own drawings

I know it’s modded content so it’s kinda cheating, but I still stand by Chesspiece in Rivals of Aether’s Workshop being one of the most insanely designed characters in any platform fighter. All of their normals change their headpiece/stance, with each stance having unique stats (rook has high ground speed and a low jump, knight has a triple jump, bishop has an insane wavedash, and king is slow but heavy), a unique side special, and different up special angles. Your strongs put down a secondary piece that you can swap control of with neutral special or use their unique special move with down special. That’s all on top of a Queen install that builds up when you land hits in Pawn stance, which turns the pawn into a Queen with insane stats and Ivysaur Solarbeam as their special move. God I love Workshop

Reminder that Vegeta was a platform fighter character in Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars for the Nintendo DS.

Plankton solos

Please do more i wanna know it all

Oh spoot…

cool channel, I don't even play this game myself but it was interesting :)

The Beavers are by far my favorite "swap" character in any platform fighter and I think the assists help a lot with that. My issue with Pyra and Mythra is that they feel VERY linear to play most of the time, it often becomes "OK I did 90% of the work with Mythra time to fish for Dair or another aerial as Pyra". Meanwhile the assists and general swap mechanics of the Beavers make switching between them feel so much better, tagging in out of light attacks and teleporting with assists make them so much more dynamic to not only play as or against, but also watch. (Side note, I had no clue you could switch between them during light attacks so I learned something new LOL)

Chrom and Roy are on the opposite places here, Roy is the youngest and also smallest of the lords while Chrom is possibly the second most muscular besides Ike. Also even though Daisy is a princess, she has shown quite a lot of strength by slapping Bowser to the heavens in Mario Party 3, granted that could've been mostly a gag.
