WHY IS THIS GAME NOT OUT YET

[@DragonMaster1818]

5:15 Welp its in beta for a reason.

[@hakis8129]

Hi :D

[@mauripops4184]

Is this an older patch or can kragg still fuggle kragg. Not complaining looks pretty funny ngl

[@Renzo0]

Yeah majority of the clips are from the May + June betas, if you mean the down throw rock thing that was taken out, but the cargo rock throw thing I think was patched out as well, I forget specifics in what way though

[@RandomDude647]

​@@Renzo0they gave cargo throw regrab lockout just like how regular throws have regrab lockout

[@DragonMaster1818]

Why does kragg look so weird compared to the other fighters? He looks oversaturated

[@freddart5163]

Will rivals 2 be coming on anything except steam?

[@Renzo0]

@@freddart5163 At the moment no, Steam is the only platform confirmed for Rivals 2 launch

I think it's better if we call it something cooler. Like "The Hard R."

[@Phantoms_savoir2.0]

is this beta or did the game come out already?

[@dinnerlord65]

Probably a hot take but I prefer rivals 1 tbh

[@Renzo0]

@@dinnerlord65 Not a hot take at all! A lot of people still prefer rivals 1 given how much smoother the movement and combos are, I'm kinda stuck in the middle but Rivals 2 has more potential with the direction they're taking

[@PurposeDriven7_]

It’s crazy how dated rivals 1 looks compared to 2.

[@Renzo0]

@@PurposeDriven7_ Graphically yeah but in terms of smoother movement and combo game Rivals 1 still kinda has that edge

[@aaronGambrell]

Is rivals 1 really dead 😢

[@HastyMang0]

N o.

[@2JANK]

Nope.

[@minty6623]

not unless we keep it alive for as long as it breathes

[@aaronGambrell]

@@minty6623 we're gonna frankenstein's monster this game

[@Renzo0]

At the moment, no, actually still has pretty consistent statistics with daily peaks of around 600 steamcharts.com/app/383980
So not dead yet, rivals 2 just has more potential as a game overall due to it being the beginning of development and different mechanics that people might be more used to
