The Lv3 super is basically her ripping out your soul, and sending it to her god for judgement. She's one of the rawest priest characters I've seen in a game.
This feels like Illaoi is much more in her element in terms of how she is in the lore versus how she is in League. I'm hoping this is a good indicator that characters that don't get to shine as much gameplay wise in League will get that opportunity in 2X. I'd actually love to see Nilah in this game, I think her whipsword could translate quite well into a 2D fighting game.
@@Blarchar It's very much a mental thing, for sure. It also makes things feel better. It's why Monster Hunter feels so good and God Eater and other things aren't quite there. It just feels right when it's perfect.
People complained about the hitstop thing when the trailers for SamSho came out, and the hitstop there was enormous compared to this. After a while the complaints went away. Everything stopping when you hit a heavy slash is still one of the best feelings in any fighting game
That is a bit of a false equivalency. While true the hit stop in Sam Sho was enormous, it didn't screw with the pacing of the game at all. In fact, it enhanced it because it made the hits feel that much more impactful. This game on the other hand, being a hyper tag team game, and the hit stop being as large as it is, does seem like it could cause issues with the much faster pace.
@@barkon34 Yea maybe you're right. I don't see the problem from this footage but I don't play these kind of games so maybe I'm missing something. Guess we'll see when the game comes out
12:51 Im a little wonky on the lore. You are not going 'inside' though. The gist of it is that it is a kind of trial by that 'god' nagakeborous. Thats what her lore is pretty much all about. The soul of the character is seperated from the body, and then its potential is being tested. And the outcome of that 'bite' is just pretty much always you not 'passing'. In actuality this would be outside the hands of Illaoi. She can only put you in front of this trial. edit: to the hitstopt thing: Years ago I pretty much only played Soul Caliburs, Tekken 3, old MK's and smash as my fighters. Which meant i wasnt used to hitstop whatsoever. To the point where i was annoyed even looking at it. And i refused wanting to play those games for that reason. Then SF4 came out and i played it. It took.. maybe a week until i did not notice this at all anymore, be it while playing or watching. So i assume people saying this are coming from a similar background as i did back then, or even just LoL. If you arent used to it, its really weird.
The simplest way I can think of to explain it is that the tentacles are a "win more" mechanic. She's not a puppet character, you want to be in their face hitting them and if you do it right you get tentacles that help you win more.
The hitstop doesn't seem egregious to me, but I'm a Strive player, so that probably doesn't mean too much. I'm used to getting a counterhit and waiting about a minute until the next frame comes out. Also, I love to see elements and characters in the background reacting to the fight! It's always so weird to me when people in a fighting game stage are just carrying on with their lives with literally earth-shattering moves landing just to their left
So I know a bit of league lore myself but not to much and basically the test of spirit isnt putting you inside the idle if im correct instead but its taking your soul directly to Nagakabouros for a trial to see if your soul is worthy or not. Basically strips the subject’s spirit from their body then forces them to stand against Nagakabouros to prove their worth to prove their annihilating them if they fail.
Definitely the most interesting character revealed so far. I'm hoping for a monster character or two, and a traditional grappler archtype for Illaoi to team up with.
Not sure if anyone has talked about it anywhere, but those are yordles in the background. So if anyone was curious what their size will be in this game, there you go.
For an explanation of Illaoi's ult, she is a priestess of Nagakabouros, a god that promotes motion above all else. Her job is to run around and put anybody interesting's soul into her idol, forcing them to endure a test of spirit. Either you succeed and return stronger than ever and with a greater sense of purpose after a resting period, or your will is too weak and your soul becomes food for the God. One of the coolest things in league lore considering it's balanced enough in the story that she can pretty much confront anyone and give them this test of spirit. Here it seems like every character passes the test, but is severely weakened, exactly the way it works in the lore. Except for the fact that, yknow. Illaoi would never attack someone after they passed her test, because her god has deemed them worthy.
By the way, JM. I think the red flash relates to animation cancelling. Perhaps it's a tell for the enemies so they know when you can't cancel an animation and have to be committed to it, so they know it's a tentacle spawning move OR it's a window to cancel the move kind of like Sol's projectile, where you bait people into doimg something.
@@TheGreektrojanif it happens over and over, following particular trends, then yes, it would be forced in. That's not what decides if it's good though
For real. Project L would've been a meme, but 2XKO is a terrible, _terrible_ name. 2 knockouts. We get it, but it has no identity. If you want your game to be memorable and stand with the greats, it has to be recognizable by name alone. What a misstep.
I can answer what is happening in her ult (it's lore). Her idol can test the will of people by absconding their soul/spirit and putting it on trial. If her god (Nagakabouros) determines them unworthy, Nagakabouros will kill them. So the figure we see underwater in front of Nagakabouros is their soul, not the champion being teleported or something. So her ult is an artistic interpretation of the trial.
for these longer trailers and reveals, it would be cool to have you watch it through, and react, then run it back and do your pauses and breakdown/discussion. feels like it flows better that way imo. but either way, loved the video! ive never even heard of this and it looks like it plays like DBFZ?? im super interested
YES BIG HITSTOP. Modern games like SF6 MK1 and T8 look so rubbery. The hitstop makes the action easier to read, plus it fits the animation style perfectly. Thanks for the recap!
don't apologize for the pauses! It's why we watch your videos instead of just going to watch the trailer on our own. Those complaining can just watch it separately 🤔
The name is so bad it can't be fixed (unless they find a new name altogether). It doesn't matter how many syllables it takes to say it, 2XKO or 2KO means nothing and invokes nothing.
as far as similar characters in different fighters go, alice from the touhou fighters comes to mind as someone who uses similar concepts for a different end. all her c attacks place dolls in different positions that shoot a barrage of aimed bullets after a delay, but then they just linger there if neither the doll nor alice get hit in that time frame. her 22 specials then allow her to utilize the placed dolls in various ways, from turning them into whirling multihit bladestorms to making them shoot screen-wide beams to using them as the path for a big programmable projectile she's a _lot_ more meticulous than illaoi looks to be and firmly falls into the zoner category ( in a game where _every character has a rich selection of projectiles_ ), but nonetheless has the same style of setting up traps and big ol' danger zones just by pressing the buttons she wants to press anyway. p. fun to see the concept pop up here as well, considering league has had its fair share of touhou references since pretty early on
I hate the current name but that's not a good idea either. If a person searches "Lehtal Tempo Yasuo" they might get a damn build guide for LoL instead of the game.
My dommy mommy one trick getting REPRESENTED! Love to see it, lol. Also, mad props for getting the name right. You might be asking yourself; Well how can anyone get it wrong when they say it clearly in the videos about her? Yeah...I wonder that too, lol...
Whats going on during the Ultimate: It's Illaoi's E Ability in LoL. She will use the idol to send a soul tentacle and pull out the SOUL of the target. That's why the enemy is the same color as the tentacle during the animation. It's him, it's his soul. This Soul will then be "tested" by the God, and if they are not worthy, they die. If they are, the come out stronger. In the lore, strong people sometimes will seek Illoai to be put to this test.
Her E is still so unique in League. I wonder if they tried to make the soul-ripping part of her gimmick in 2XKO for a while before "relegating" it to the Lv3 animation.
The top UI is so much better. I hope they find something similiar good looking for the super bar. I also hope there is some way to view models + animations not just ingame to make some videos.
I don't get the complaint about hitstop. It looks smooth! Might be a misconception of the prolonged flash effects on hit. They last longer than the hitstop itself.
Same. I think it's much better in clarity now, but it lost a lot of its already minor personality. I also dislike the font choice and size they went with.
For a reason, she reminds me of Lord Beerus from dragon ball fighterZ. Like an interactive setup character, which is super cool, but the opponent can remove everything if he gets hit.
@11:00 mins you said you couldnt think of a character that played like her. I submit exhibit A: Nappa from DBFZ. Put the saibaman down and watch him wreak havoc and steal turns for you lol
What worries me is that we still don't have a Yordle in the game yet, meaning there is a world where Poppy wouldn't be in it. Listen.. I just want to teach them Hammer diplomacy, y'know?
riot has different teams working on different characters the same time (at least that's how it works with league). illaoi got picked to have her development process made public. they definetly have much more characters ready.
I do like how the damage isn't insane. Makes the fights last longer/look more intense. Unlike mortal kombat or tekken 8 matches are over in seconds and I can't see how thats fun, you make one mistake and get combo'd into oblivion, not fun to me.
Kinda doesn’t look like Illaoi has a weakness other than height. Good reach, lots of forward movement on some attacks, crazy normals, good defensive options, and a super that works as a lockdown, mix-up, or combo extender depending on the situation… she looks pretty awesome as well. I think my only problem with her is that she doesn’t have any problems… at a glance, or I’m missing something. Where does she struggle?
Usually these characters have HORRIBLE frame data (take Super Brolly in dbfz for example). It looks like she has slow normals from the video so she wins mid range neutral but probably gets rolled if you get in her face with a rushdown on your own terms.
@@ayoubkeheli6915ahh yeah that makes sense, it’ll potentially be difficult for her to get out of pressure by faster characters if they can get in… will have to see how it plays out in practice!Thanks for taking the time to explain it like that, much respect.
Some women can be more muscular than the average man. Illaoi is currently the most muscular female League of Legends champion. She is clearly an exception.
@@Jay_Tsunami_ Sorry, I misunderstood your first comment. English is not my first language and in French ‘travesti’ has another meaning, that of ‘cross-dresser’ or ‘drag queen’. I thought you thought Illaoi was a man disguised as a woman. That's the problem with false friends.
I never slept so good except for as this game is being developed. I know hella league IP fans are happy but damn im sleepy and waiting for something interesting to swing by. If i see community is really creaming over "X char got announced" then I consider it a fast day.
Are people actually excited for this game? I mean, obviously there's always SOMEONE who anticipates a release, but I can't imagine there's that many people desperate for this to drop. Guess I could be wrong.
fighting games desperately need free to play models and cooperative tag team fighting is an ingenious solution to the massive issue of getting new people into a fighting game as a veteran; you get to play WITH them as opposed to killing them for 100 rounds for them to never play again
Hey JM, if you’re down to do some dbfz rollback collab content Mister Acolyte told me that he’s open to the idea. I’ve been really hoping for rollback collaborations to breathe life into the game. Love the content and super exited for Project L (I still like that name).
Anyone complaining about hit stops is someone who doesn't play fighting games It IS fine, it LOOKS normal... Because it is. People think it's meant to be smooth gameplay, as in zero hit stops, because that's how it is in League
@@ThePoodletekken is a 3D fighter. Pretty much all 3D fighters don’t use hit stubs because it doesn’t work with the physics of those games. 2D fighters have much more simple and strict physics, and the way they’re designed, basically requires some level of hit stun. I don’t know any 2D fighter that doesn’t use it, no matter how small.
The Lv3 super is basically her ripping out your soul, and sending it to her god for judgement. She's one of the rawest priest characters I've seen in a game.
She has the same move in League, except you get to beat the fuck out of the soul after pulling it out lol

Considering her kit in League, this is by far the most impressive transition to a fighting game they have done so far.

@@CiviGG Nilah has alot of awesome 2d fighting game ascpets that could transition so well. totally agree.

Why the FGC is freaking out over Illaoi: "Death by Snu Snu."
Meh. She's kinda flat for how big she is.
And Tentacle Grape.
She's also Z Broly. Everyone loves a good Grapple-Zoner.

For me it allows a little extra time for inputs and thinking, even if it's miniscule.

Thanks for the recap!
2XKO is an absolutely horrible name. I honestly think that name will hold the game back and lower its sales figures.
I think Lethal Tempo is a better name!
I would never mention I played a game called 2XKO to anyone, because then I’d have to explain it. EVERY TIME.
Is saying 2x Knockout or 2x Ko really that bad? lol
Start calling it "Double Knockout"
Just revert back to project l honestly
FGC complaining about Illoi sounds about right
don't apologize for the pauses! It's why we watch your videos instead of just going to watch the trailer on our own. Those complaining can just watch it separately 🤔
the ui changes are literally my favourite part of this update, theyre honestly such an improvement
We should just call this double K.O or Double Knockout. It’s the same amount of syllables but it just sounds leaps and bounds better than 2XKO
The name is so bad it can't be fixed (unless they find a new name altogether). It doesn't matter how many syllables it takes to say it, 2XKO or 2KO means nothing and invokes nothing.

the name being hated gives off horseshoe theory, its so bad that it actually turns good bcs people cant stop mentioning 2xko
The red aura thing that flashes when they make a heavy attack might be an armor breaker indicator
Edit: Using S1 or S2 spawns a tentacle

She is so cool definitely gives sf6 Marisa vibes with the charge attacks got to be armor well see looks very nice.
wait, instead of push block there's a backdash??? in a tag game that makes the corner sound hellish
Its a lot more comparable to strive Johnny, where he sets up the cards and gets followups by hitting them. But i honestly feel this is better

Too chuh-koh, great name
I’m calling this game KOKO now since it’s KO 2 times.
6 minute trailer before it even started it's a W
They should have called this game "Runeterra Rumble"
the matches didnt make it look like shes that good but that could just be due to how technical she is and of course its a fresh game to them
Really?Why are people going nuts?
Probably a stretch, but the length of the lvl 3, and the cut when she finishes it makes me think that was like a dramatic finish.
I didn’t even know this game existed.
2XKO, isn't that Elon Musk's kid's name?
She kinda reminds me of jacko but a more aggressive build
I'm waiting fot a tank. Please no supports, I don't want to play grapplers.

That's the problem with false friends.
@@Staklihen ohhhhh lol. I understand. I should have used the word Tragedy instead. Would have made more sense. No worries.
@@Jay_Tsunami_ Don't worry, it gave me another word. I only knew ‘parody’ in that sense.
I never slept so good except for as this game is being developed. I know hella league IP fans are happy but damn im sleepy and waiting for something interesting to swing by. If i see community is really creaming over "X char got announced" then I consider it a fast day.

Are people actually excited for this game? I mean, obviously there's always SOMEONE who anticipates a release, but I can't imagine there's that many people desperate for this to drop. Guess I could be wrong.
fighting games desperately need free to play models and cooperative tag team fighting is an ingenious solution to the massive issue of getting new people into a fighting game as a veteran; you get to play WITH them as opposed to killing them for 100 rounds for them to never play again
@@eirin481 I guess these are good points, but this is entirely irrelevant to my comment...
@@catisreckless4647 i mean, its why im excited for the game personally lol especially the tag team stuff, it seems really fun
@@eirin481 Ah, I wasn't aware this game had the features you were referring to (I've ignored everything about it). My mistake 🤭
Hey JM, if you’re down to do some dbfz rollback collab content Mister Acolyte told me that he’s open to the idea. I’ve been really hoping for rollback collaborations to breathe life into the game. Love the content and super exited for Project L (I still like that name).
I love hitstop, looks like most anime fighters to me.
that super was crazy no cap
the game does have too much hitstop for me but I think they added it to help people react to pressure.
Anyone complaining about hit stops is someone who doesn't play fighting games
It IS fine, it LOOKS normal... Because it is. People think it's meant to be smooth gameplay, as in zero hit stops, because that's how it is in League
And Tekken...
@@ThePoodletekken is a 3D fighter. Pretty much all 3D fighters don’t use hit stubs because it doesn’t work with the physics of those games.
2D fighters have much more simple and strict physics, and the way they’re designed, basically requires some level of hit stun. I don’t know any 2D fighter that doesn’t use it, no matter how small.
