24:13 Let's goooo that's MY special little guy being called weak! 🥳 Jokes aside, it's crazy to see something I made being spotlighted among this gigantic roster of community talent. And despite the contest being over (LA REINA NUMERO UNO), I've been working on a patch for Valu that'll update a bunch of his older animations, buff his kit overall, and remake DSpecial to be bigger and cleaner to use. Super fun video, and here's to the workshop community and Rivals 2!
This video was fun to watch and has piqued my interest in tons of contest characters I initially ignored. So many great characters to look into, and I’m looking forward to seeing La Reina in Rivals 2.
Sick video. Some of these characters look kinda sick now that I've seen more gameplay. Tho, despite being an Incin lover, I wasn't really all to into La Reina when she was first announced (mainly because I assumed that Helios for sure had it in the bag) but the more I'm seeing La Reina and how much people are loving her playstyle, she seems very cool to me now. Can't wait to play her in 2.
This is a really good format for the video. I was expecting just gameplay highlights but i really liked how you highlighted certain characters. It makes me want to play a few of them. Excellent video.
One of my favorite picks that was not mentioned was Arcuin. Excellent sound design, cool weapon user, and since I used to play PM/P+ DDD, an arctic bird with a hammer speaks to me. His chain mechanic is also very interesting, and leads to some really neat conversions. I feel like some of his normals need a little work still, and his downB is not as fleshed out as it could be, especially in terms of interacting with chains. Otherwise, his kit feels amazing.
That freaking penguin arcuin, especially after his patch, is the greatest character I’ve ever played. His aerials are the best feeling and sounding I’ve ever experienced
It’s only a loss if you don’t learn from it, and I can confidently say that I won’t be playing every single character in the 2023-2024 Rivals 2 Workshop Character contest in a character gauntlet format vs my friend Meechole over the course of 2 months starting on January 10th ever again.
@@colbyjackc Ahhhh so you learned the line between bravery and stupidity! I'm so proud of you! Next time you could learn how to have a more consistent upload schedule so that I can keep sleeping to your videos at nig- I mean enjoy more of your videos while working (Awesome video btw)
So I only learned about the contest after it was over, but I could tell Bhadra wouldn't win after seeing his kit. The entire point of the character is to emulate Johnny from Guilty Gear, down to his Mist Finer and coin combos. But the issue is that it feels like it emulates it a bit TOO closely. Doesn't have as much of it's own identity besides that. Helios is inspired by Venom (also from GG), but he feels a bit more original in comparison.
Arcuin is super high quality and has really fun normals, but I don’t really vibe with tethering the opponent to yourself as a mechanic in general. I probably woulda talked about him if I messed around with him outside of the contest but I never got around to it :p
@@colbyjackc you can also tether yourself to your boulder and then if the ball touches the opponent the boulder connects to the opponent and you can use your tether on parts of the stage to move around really well
A character cant be really complicated and good animations on 3d my pc is good and suffers from roblox . It would be cool for the game to actually be capable of that but its reality. Im brazilan by the way or internet connection is garbage

yoo, another arcuin main! he's sick as hell, and his chain combo's are really fun (despite preventing kills)
This was a very fun watch, I'm glad to have been part of something like this
I like the one with the four bombs and the dtilt
Should’ve won, got insanely robbed
Really great video, you deserve some more recognition :)
awesome vid! also, thanks for showing off my character!
This video freakin rocks. Good stuff dude
Zoog in thumbnail, skubskribded

It appears Luitonis or whatever his name was has not been mentioned.
GOOD.
I'm sorry for your loss.

rival 2
So true
Rivals 2 could be the greatest video game ever made but it won’t have Helios in it so who even CARES.
It will, as some kind of cosmetic merch. But wow, I wish he was playable...
20:53 hey that’s me in chat 😮
I am forever sad that Silica didnt make it, she is straight up a main of mine nowadays lmao
Great video
all of them
They call Rivals 2 the Smash Ultimate of platform fighters.
wish you'd always had the name of the char pop up each time, but great video besides
What song is playing at 28:00?
“I’M THE MACHINE” from Grapple Dog
A lot of the songs from this video were from Grapple Dog, that OST slaps.
nothing to say about arcuin? damn
