I think platform fighters are legit fighting games and I like how rivals plays into archetypal character design, it’s something I wish Brawlhalla did a little more
8:09 If you're referring to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 not sure why you consider it close to Brawlhalla when it's much more Smash-like and has shields, DI, teching, grabs, ledges, etc. And then on top of that you have slime cancels + EX attacks similar to traditonal fighters. Also, dope vid :)
I wanted to play this game during the Demo but Like you said in the video there is like no keyboard support which made me not able to play any games on keyboard during the demo. The menu was difficult to navigate and when I changed my key binds to be closer to my Brawlhalla key binds it would reset everytime I went into a match and both my movement and attack buttons would be mapped to the same keys.
If you’re wanting to continue playing with something similar to keyboard you should look into box style controller (leverless controllers, hitboxes) that are made for platform fighters. It plays like a keyboard since it’s just buttons but just without the clutter of all the unnecessary keys. They have modifier buttons so you can get the necessary angles and tilts needed to play. They’re gaining popularity in melee. Analogue controllers are definitely not the only way to play
The original Rivals of Aether actually had really good keyboard support to the point where at least one top player used one in tournament, and I _believe_ it's in the works for Rivals 2 as well!
There's a cheese strat you can do with pillar where you knock your opponent onto the pillar then they go into pratfall. You can then fspec cancel to break it and they tumble into pratfall helplessly and die
You can play with keyboard ! when you are in the main menu , u gotta use the mouse. When ur in the character selection, use Arrow keys to navigate menus, space = yes , x = back enter = start game if you try use the mouse the game freezes so u gotta press X to cancel it somehow. once u select character u can access computer binds . Hope this works for anyone trying. im diamond brawlhalla keyboard player so i wanted to play rivals with a keyboard, even if it took me half an hour to figure out the knowledge above. adios
Will Brawlhalla make a 3D character version updated and release would be amazing. Brawlhalla is still a top tier platform fighter but rivals 2 has the community in a frenzy and its great.
Have egg played smash ultimate? Just asking out of curiosity. If he had I would really love to see the videos and see how his first impressions are as well
Literally my first set of this game this morning was a sweaty forsburn and I got washed. Then again I haven’t played a platform fighter in a hot minute and I didn’t play the betas or anything but BRO ITS MINUTE 1!!
If you don't really like the gamecube controller, keyboard is fine. There have been multiple top keyboard players in the past and all the tech works on keyboard.
Egg, I have thousands of hours on rivals 1 and hundreds on 2 with keyboard. You should join the keyboard tribe once again, and we will rejoice as we embrace you warm, welcoming return. -me
@@jayspace2905 crouch cancel, when crouching right before you get hit, you take less knockback. You can see when it happens due to the arrows pointing down that appear when someone does it. It is a mechanic in many other games too.
There was no crouch canceling because you don't see the green arrows pointing down that just what happened because ranno has weak hits on his rapid jab
I was very hyped about Rivals 2. Safe to say I was very disappointed by how they implement keyboard into the game. The game is clearly not designed to be played on keyboard and I don't think they are gonna change how the game works just for that. Also it might be just bad luck but i went to their discord and didn't have a very pleasant experience. People not taking me seriously because I like using my mouse (which isn't supported currently) for attacks and borderline making fun of me. Idk who thought having such poor keyboard experience would be a good idea for a Steam exclusive demo. Also there were people looking down on other platform fighters, lots of gatekeeping and overall very little positivity. I really wanted to try out a new platform fighter and was planning on buying Rivals 2 on release. Thank God the demo was free bc there is no way I'm buying it now. I'm glad you enjoy it but that demo was a huge miss for me.
I am sure they plan to refine keyboard support in the future, since Rivals of Aether had very good keyboard support, with the only issue being the innate disadvantage of only being able to input 8 directions. Since the vast majority of players use a controller, keyboard support was probably not a priority for launch, as the game in its current state is sort of a "minimum viable product" where it is functional but not necessarily finished. As the game becomes more refined, you can be sure keyboard support will follow at some point. Also, sorry about your experience in the discord, I myself have not interacted with the community much, but it seems odd that it would be that way. I would put it up to the newer rivals players who only ever played rivals, or the newer players coming in from rivals 2. A lot of the older rivals players were Melee/PM/Ultimate players, and I see no reason that people like that would gatekeep. Also, yeah, I just checked, rivals 1 had no mouse support, only keyboard, which means rivals 2 probably won't either, Sorry bud
@@iivan8730 dude you cant use mouse in this game because theres way more buttons you actually have to use. Keyboard if anything is superior to controller in a lot of ways in this game because it provides higher actions per minute and accuracy for the movement tech. Just bind it to wasd and iopjkl because even if they did add mouse that would literally just handicap you anyway
@@hi-mx8xk I don't have one and I ain't buying one for a game that doesn't care to be good enough. Not to mention you just did what the others did. Really doesn't make me want to be part of that community
@@iivan8730 all the rivals players I know are very nice and chill. Can't relate to that part That said, I think wanting keyboard support is reasonable. I hope they add it soon given that it was present in the first rivals. Using the mouse is definitely extremely suboptimal and unorthodox/unpopular, but I think having it as an option would still be good Your comment about it not "caring to be good enough" is very silly and glib. But i think the other things you said are reasonable enough requests. Presumably you just made this comment out of frustration from people not taking your problem seriously which is understandable If you actually think not having mouse support is the game being bad and the devs not caring, then I am more critical of your point. But wanting to have the option of mouse because you have a preference is perfectly reasonable

i love it when eggsoup plays with his big pillar
what are the issues with keyboard? ive been playing with it and havent run into any issues. am i missing something?
Oh my god, I cant wait to start playing this. Going to go buy a gamecube controller to relive my days absolutely destroying people in melee.
first time hearing about this game it looks sick tho

Now we gotta wait for him to hop on smash bros melee

platform fighter
okay this one might be the smash killer

Are you sure you haven’t played rivals 2 a lot before the video? Your pretty dang cracked
