Thanks for watching our look into Under Night and its community! Excited to see the game return to Evo this year with a new update?
I'm excited to finally be able to play the game on switch!
I hope Osshu-Hitto (the Seth who lost in grands last year) wins this year as a Seth main since UNIEL.
I may support further and buy the Switch edition.
I think the critical takeaway here is that no game ever really dies. When we take advantage of the resources at our disposal and work together, we the community can make anything happen. Thanks, Esteban.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

XMVSF will rise again!
I love how under night is slowly moving up in the world and i would love it more if it had an anime.
Has a fighting game ever had an anime that turned out to be actually good? As much as I love Under Night, maybe it's best that they just don't...
No, it doesn't work, look at BlazBlue
I like anime to much to disagree
persona has an anime and its generally considered meh. probably would be best to just not do it.
Persona was an rpg originally but I guess the point still stands
I remember discovering this game through BBTAG and being enamored by the game's mechanics. Hope the UNI scene grows even more this year
Iravan Gesmundo I hope Under Night in Birth get more Guest Characters
I also found out about UNIST through BBTag. I wasn't a fighting game person before, but I got BBTag because I like Persona and RWBY. Ended up not even playing BBTag much because I quickly bought UNIST and absolutely fell in love. When I first saw BBTag's announcement trailer, I never expected that weird UNIST game I had never heard of to be my favorite part of it.
Im on the same boat
@@keybladesrus same! Fell in love with linne. Now I got uniclr as well but there aren't that many players online rn.
@@unlimitedquickworks7387 sad, the only thing this game has keeping it down it's the netcode
Just preordered UNICLR. I think it's time for me to see what the hype is about.
Welcome to the community!
Joey if you have UNIST lying around, you can get UNICLR content by updating the game,....
@@KaizAmari I dont, I've never played any UNI game before.
@@KaizAmari wait. If we own Unist we get Uniclr for free?
@@franciscozagal5126 It's a free update on PS4
Stories like this are why I keep praising and hyping Darkstalkers and keep bugging Capcom for a proper revival.
You know it's not gonna happen.

“My NaMe iS SEth!!1! MaD cRaDLe!11!”
@@keystone5750 seth who?
A Darkstalkers revival may never happen, but the story of the players keeping it alive is something I aim to cover this year!
ArcSys Artstyle with Capcoms mechanics would be a true Dark Stalkers revival.
Man, shoutout to the uni discord and the adult swim aesthetic for Climax. 💞
Adult swim? Tf are u on about?
Welcome back UNI. Can’t wait to get back to the night.
Man... RIP Evo 2020
There's something so magical watching a relatively obsure fighting game and it's community keep growing until it hits it's big moment like reaching the EVO mainstage. I remember when I first discovered UNI with UNIEL and was just blown away by the depth of the mechanics. And then I saw how insane the game got at high level and now I am scared of being stuck in the corner against Byakuya and his absurd web traps.
UNIST being at EVO pushed me over the edge and made me do the trip to Vegas for the first time. Great doc btw
History repeats itself in the most wonderful ways sometimes.
Just starting to learn this game now, it rules
This game is strangely addicting. The whole grid system and unique character roster really intrigues me.
I really enjoy UNIST its just a lot of fun to play never knew the history was that big with this game and how dedicated the community is its awesome. cant wait for UNICLR next week
Dude. Under Night In-Birth will always be a French Bread's masterpiece. I'll always love it. I even got for Christmas before 2020!
Actually, melty blood is still its magnum opus... UNIST is a close 2nd.
@@xyzen9673 Ahh... I see.
@@NeonDarius to me atleast, since melty blood was my first anime fighter... Its a real shame that its not talked about anymore, it was an amazing game.
@@xyzen9673 Yeah. I wish I could make my own anime fighting game with cooler graphics, original characters and so on.
Hearing about how this community worked together and grew their scene is insanely inspiring
I really like UnderNight, i wish i could play it more but i live in Angola and no one plays it here :(
Wish the game had crossplay and rollback netcode...
Rollback netcode would be great but fuck no to crossplay. I don’t wanna play against retard console Wi-Fi warriors who have never seen an ethernet cord in their lifetime.
Void who the fuck plays fighting games on pc kek
Pr Persona People who are competitive and want to play with lower input lag and better netplay
@@Nothyn who plays fg on pc?
A crossplay between ps4 and switch would be great,let the few pc players alone in their corner
This video was great I really enjoyed it. I'm glad to have been a part of making our community what it is today, here's to now years of under night success!
aren’t you that shitty admin on the UNICORD?
UNIST a game is always a unique case for me, i was hesitantly picked the game because the community is dead small in my local yet it is a damn straight fun yet full of depth game, when i saw unist finally getting into evo it was like THANK GOD this game was finally getting the attention it always deserves
Coming back here after all the EVO Juushichi rep
Thank you for this! Great work about a great game and community!
A great documentary!
I always found the game interesting(see it alot on streams) but did't really know its story, till now.
Still, its strange the devs did't do more to market the game..
Then again, fighting games seem to be into a league of their on in that regard.
I came for a lore video but I got even more reasons to love this game and its community. Incredible video!
It's been a few years since I've found this game and I don't even remember how, but it really makes my heart thump seeing how much it's grown.
Last year we hosted a small tournament at my LGS and decided to put UNIST on the lineup we pulled almost 20 players. The EVO announcement sparked a huge boom in the community and I hope the UNICLR release makes it even bigger.
Dope ass documentary. As someone who was late to the French Bread party. The simple fact that Melty Blood came out and DIDN'T charge for any of the DLC made me forever a supporter of this company, so I bought Uni:Clr after that on principle and fell in love (prolly my favorite modern FG). Now that Uni 2 is here and has rollback, I hope this becomes an eternal game...like 3rd Strike.
Was anyone else unable to think of anything but Melee when he started talking about how important it is to not get to a point where you only have old hardcore players and no one new picking up the game? XD
@No Name "5 years is short for Melee" that's the point he's trying to make
Great story but you should of included the numbers with the last evo! 1,156 entrants!
Great Documentary! I'm genuinely happy to see the UNI scene come this far from what it was in 2012.
is so charming to see this kind of video.
Although i know the game is fun ,
and i want grow the number,
but in Taiwan any kind of fighting game is too small to grow,
i tried make a article make tutorail everythong i can do i do it about 1 year,
but it seem people dont get interesting in any kind of fighting game (gg..uni..ect)，
maybe Taiwanese only like Kof (SAD)，
hope 1 day i can see the light ,
beside kof ,other fighting game player base will grow
I think it's a testament to the amount of trust and respect Brett has built up across the years when it takes me half the video to remember this is the dude who casually ignited certain elements with the Eltnum JAV tweet.
Great video. Just an amazing work overall
I’m definitely going to get into the community!
Easily one of my favorite Fighting games of the decade like I love the Characters and the whole story of the game and the gameplay is Oh so good great thing I'm getting Collectors edition of [C-lr] Tommorow
7:44 and 11:10
“Dante Vs. Vergil”
The story of UNI and its community is really inspiring and the time it came to Evo it was when i first got into it, and other Anime FGs in general.
Im not gonna lie, i do wish this could happen to Skullgirls, one day...
Quick thing to add, UNI and SG are the games the keep me engaged and i love them.
Thank you for this truly. Such amazing vibes, fighting games for life. 😁
Our pleasure
Great documentary!
Love this game and its community
UNIST is too powerful, damn.
Glad to have experienced it quite early on.
Great documentary!
WDYM? I've never heard of that.
amazing video very informative and the interviewers where so well spoken. this video makes me wanna get into the game
Welp, we now have an UnderNight 2. We as a fan base are eating good.
We feasting!
Fate/Unlimited Codes, Melty Blood, and UNIST were my first true foray into fighting games after being one of those outsiders who looked at traditional fighting games nervously. Even if I'm not really that good (though have definitely gotten better in the past half year), those three games showed me the fun of fighting games tbh. Definitely plan to get UNICLR sometime in the future.
Amazing!
Thank you!
"If this gets into EVO, I'll play this game." What a shitty approach to fighting games. No game ever really dies. Especially with discord around, you REALLY can find a player base for anything. Play a game because it's fun. Not to chase clout.
My friend showed me UNI last year
and got me into it
now Im buying my own UNICLR copy
the collectors edition as well
BBTAG really helped spread UNI to a larger audience so now it got on main stage twice!
Yeah, Tag really helped out. I knew about Uni before, but Tag made UNI from "the hell is this game doing with Bb, Rwby and persona" to "hey, this characters are pretty neat" to "hey, this game is pretty cool!"
Sadly, Tag didn't make it to the EVO this year. Which is even more sad since 2.0 fixed a lot of problems. I hope that Tag will keep on keeping on and will make it back to the EVO next year, this game is fun to watch.
Quality work as always!
When I first played UNIclr, I first played arcade mode and watched all of the stories in chronicle mode. Based off the plot of each character in the game I thought: "There is definitely going to be a sequel." If there is going to be a sequel the characters that I would love or look more than capable of being playable would be:
Tsurugi (member of EFG)
Komatsu (member of EFG)
Joker (member of Amnesia)
Uzuki (member of Amnesia)
Silvaria (second in command of the Licht Kreis)
Kaguya Seikaiguu (member of Licht Kreis and Orie's friend)
Zohar (former member of Bankikai and comrade of Strix)
Radiata (an Autonomic Nerve like Vatista)
Reflecta (another Autonomic Nerve)
Murayama (one of Wagner's attendants)
Sakurai (another one of Wagner's attendants)
Adelheid (leader of the Licht Kreis)
Kuon (Linne's brother)
A member or two from Ritter Schild
(I would have like to add Roger and Orge, but they're dead.)

IT'S ME HELL YEAH I'M IN THE VIDEO LOL
Good to hear,yesterday i preordered uniclr for the switch
Just got this game a few days ago after eyeing it for a while, and seeing this just makes me even more excited. Lookin forward to joining the community XD
Akatsuki is literally the reason why I love Under Night In-Birth, and he's the reason why I love his main series. Still waiting for En-Eins to appear in Under Night In-Birth 2
This was sick! Im really happy some clips of me were in this video! Great job
I remember getting this game hoping that it would get more recognition. I really hope they add more characters. Beautiful game.
I love uni..watching this game from Alpha stage when it was unib to what it is now is like watching a baby grow I love this game and the community and I hope it continues to grow
Damn this vid was awesome! Subbed
Hope uni stays strong for more years to come!
Thank you for making this mate. Love your content
Long live Melty Blood and Long live Under Night.
Under night cl-r has opened my eyes to fighting games and it made me love them even more
Just started getting into the game and loving it, always love seeing stories of grassroots communities rising up!
UNIB going this far was an unlikely thing, did see the early days of wacky infinites and Gordeau/Merkava dominance, but yeah holy shit it's so cool to see it make it at Evo as well as see another revision for it! Awesome documentary, man!
I came here for Under Night Story mode.
I got an Under Night Story.......
I'm satisfied
I ordered my special editon of UNICLR
I have all the games.
Switch, and PC.

shoutouts to bluebellbat
I really love this game. I wish more people would play it on PC. Here's hoping the next title gets crossplay and rollback.
I just got into the latest version of UNIB after been gifted by a friend just filling dust, until that same friend asked me to play and i said "yea sure", and the game is fricken great.
Like the video said, it's hard to pin-point exactly what the mechanics are familiar from, not like SF, KoF, GG, deep mechanics yet not so hard to pick the pace on like GG 10 hours of actually knowing how to not die instantly, me and my homie play it since then everyday.
It's a great game, Gudeau, Yuzuriha, Waldstein and Akatzuki are my top players.
And even if the only online people i've found so far are guys playing Wagner at 500K RP points (all veterans), it's still fun to see how i can push them and so far i won at least once againts a Vatista, dumb long range, weak short-range lmao.
Want to play later or got a group for Steam PC matches?
It’s sad that not a lot of people played this game, I recently got into the game right after Cross Tag Battle and was interested in the characters that were crossed over. Then I bought the game and have been playing for a while, even if it’s just arcade (cause my internet is real sucky) I still have fun. And yeah Gordeau is crazy powerful but I love him.
They really be calling my boy Juushichi a UNI historian
As a new player to this game i can see the growth progress
7:37 Its pretty amazing how broken Gord was in UNI compared to his appearance in BBTAG. He WAS broken there too for a time, but after Gorby. Got booted to bottom teir once he got nerfed to oblivion.
Im nervous but quite excited to see what they do with him in UNI 2. I really want him to get some new moves, but if nothing else. I just want him to be fair and balanced. Hopefully along with the rest of the cast.
why dose MR Wizard make my skin crawl
Excellent work. Thanks for working so hard on this.
Under night in birth is a pretty interesting fighter in my opinion with it's story and world building 👷♂️ 😅 😉
I literally bought this game randomly two weeks ago. I think it’s awesome and def hyped to get into it more. Hard to train alone tho.
Find you local tourney or weekly scene!
What region u in?
Na East cost , slowly tryna put my boys on this
@@tmig2182 I'm east coast! If youre in the dmv area we run a tourney for smash but have a good dedicated unist group on the side that plays a lot on Sunday nights
@@jemsm-ldr where at? I live in the (D)mv area
Awesome Doc!
Jiyuna playing a grappler and doing an infinite huh? I think he needs to answer for this.
fantastic quality on this video!
I would be screaming in hype and not be surprised if Kirito made it into BBTAG if Arc decides to expand the roster a lil more.
I’m happy that climax of night is in Georgia cause it’s literally the only tournament close to me, but I gotta travel through two states tho.
Oof. 2020 was ROUGH. RIP EVO and locals.
i was at the combo breaker when the mika cutouts showed up, proud to see that dumbass cutout keep appearing everywhere lmao
We need arcades back.
❤
Unist was actually fucking awesome its first year at Evo- I still miss Melee real bad
Such a fun game.
I found this game through NihongoGamer, this game is really interesting from what ive seen, havnt played much so I can really expirience for the first time with my friend
R.I.P EVO 2020
Killer Instinct is on, it's gonna be good
if UNI and MvC3 can do it, your favorite game can too.
I found about under night because of a death battle. I've been an Oreo main ever since
Hoping 2020 was a clear indicator that Without good netcode all these scenes are in trouble
watch uni2 pop off so hard with rollback
Does anyone have the link to the Under Night In Birth discord that was talked about in the video?
discord.gg/K5xrcAh
Discord, everyone talks about it but no-one ever tells you how to get in
Melty blood is still going on
I'm gonna be completely honest I had never heard of UNI until the announcement of Bbtag and that was because I was a fan of persona and RWBY and had heard of Blazblue in general in passing thanks to recently taking a big interest in the competitive side of fighting games thanks to guys like AphexArcade and KI while I'm not great and definitely a casual in UNICLR its a game I enjoy to watch and enjoy to play with friends cause were all bad lmao let's hope it sticks around a lot longer
I just got this game on Steam on a sale but I haven't touch it because I'm waiting for rollback implementation. I really like the graphics and the gameplay, I just wish rollback gets added soon.
I hope you don't view this game so one dimensionally and just play it cause it's fuckin awesome.
It might be late since no more blazblue at evo (and itll be a long time since we see the return because the blazblue story is over and bbtag is ongoing) but you mentioned something about blazblues weird history. Have you covered that? Will you cover that one day
Installing the game right now:)
Great video, 10/10
