If ROA2 pops off at Evo, this channel is gonna pop off shortly after. Lol if ROA2 gets huge entrant numbers, I could also see Nintendo either reconsidering playing ball with Evo next year or more likely release the Smash 6 trailer during Evo weekend like when they released the trailer for Sora the same day NASB1 launched (Switch 2 revealed and Sakurai said in his last TH-cam vid that he’s been working on a new game since 2022)
OMG I think that was me in the EVO crowd screaming about Finding Nemo LOL 😅 I'll try to come again this year and bring that same energy - super excited for this big opportunity for the scene!
I think so? It sounds like it came from the rear right side of the crowd with lines up with where I can was seated. It sounds like my voice and it matches the scream of fear you hear when he first appeared on screen which was DEFINITELY from me... 😂
i can't wait to see how many rivals players sign up for evo, it'll be a good amount regardless but still this could possibly be a turning point for the franchise's success i think if we get enough players and put on the best rivals show
I've known this since I've bought the first game in 2020. Rivals is different. This one is not just a "smash clone". If there is a platform fighter that can finally break the smash clone stigma, it is Rivals. I think Rivals 2 is a very flawed game as of now, but man I'm hopeful and excited for its future.
Killer Instinct getting described as "your favorite fighting game player's favorite fighting game" is way too funny and accurate lmao See you in Vegas!
6:55 I know you’re probably talking about Maximillian Dood when you say this but killer instinct is my first and favorite fighting game that will always have a spot in my heart so this was special to hear
I can't afford the trip (and big noisy environments are my anathema anyway), but I'll save the date and keep you all in my thoughts. Best of luck at the event, and fingers crossed for arena next year!
I'm so excited for this, since not only is rivals 2 and AWESOME GAME, but it also allows for some top smash players to come over to EVO through rivals 2!
Came from the Reddit thread just to sub. I'm in love with this game and one day would love to compete. Sadly, it may take some time for the full suite to roll out and hopefully grab the attention of a much larger audience. Especially with console releases planned for the future, I have pretty high hopes for the health of the game (albeit right now, it is suffering in population, yet higher than NASB and MVS numbers). In time, I hope that creators like yourself can bring more and more people into the hype that is RoA 2. I've watched every single tourny I can find so far. I NEED MORE CONTENT. "WHAT IS A RIVAL???"
As a Virtua Fighter player who's kept supporting VF as her main game (despite dwindling playerbase), I wish Rivals best of luck that the scene will boom after EVO. This is huge for both of us.
Also, regarding MVS, it was primarily because of Warner Bros. Games' initiative to have MVS have a major tournament at EVO in early access as it's supposed to big their big multifranchise game. WBG gets this pull also because they also own Mortal Kombat via being parent company to Netherrealm.
I echo other comments. This game is amazing. We need more youtubers covering game. Especially top players. You do a great job with a special kind of optimism. I hope we get more coverage.
I had no idea that all eight arena games got time IN the arena these days. The extended lineup otherwise getting all the same support makes this a HUGE win for Rivals :D
In France and Europe we also hope that EVO Nice will offer a Rival tournament in some way. I hope that the European Community will show up in force as you hope for Evo US.
When Rivals 2 brings huge numbers at EVO this year, they're gonna HAVE to make make it a main game next year!
I'm so fucking excited
Rivals 3
Absolutely nobody covers this game the way you do, the community is REAL lucky to have you man. Great vid

LOL
I hadn't seen that clip before, Derk found that one, haha. Was that actually you?

I'm finally getting a decent computer so I'll be able to play Rivals 2 now! :D
Congrats! Hope you like it

was worried that extended line up was just like "haha we dont wanna call it a side event rofl". so im happy that u konfirmed this
I mean, I could be wrong, but at least based on the announcement stream it seems much more substantial than the community tournaments from other years

can't believe you didn't mention Dan Fornace actually worked on Killer Instinct! game's awesome
I can't afford the trip (and big noisy environments are my anathema anyway), but I'll save the date and keep you all in my thoughts. Best of luck at the event, and fingers crossed for arena next year!
As a huge KI 2013 fan, describing it as "your favorite fighting game player's favorite fighting game" is SO ACCURATE LMAO I LOVE IT
I want to fly out to EVO but that is also a lot of money that I do not have.
I hope it pops off, I want this game to succeed.
Don't worry, you'll make it back at the casinos
dan was involved in killer instinct. rivals 2 is the only game where the guy is on the list twice
I will be watching the Rivals 2 Evo stream
this is so awesome

Happy to see EVO will be making an appearance in rivals two

cakeassault needs to win evo
Hoping I get to work on it and hope to see you there.
Won't be able to go to EVO to support Rivals 2 but the stream of the event will be running the entire weekend!
Maybe if MK1 was a little more dead Rivals could have be in the main line.
can’t wait for evo to have smash players again hahaha
LET'S GOOOOO
I went into the video with no leaks so I’m happy Rivals 2 made the cut
In France and Europe we also hope that EVO Nice will offer a Rival tournament in some way. I hope that the European Community will show up in force as you hope for Evo US.
I'd love to visit Nice for EVO someday
My boy wisely getting thick
Fullstream cameo lol
