@homeyworkey By no fomo, they mean that everything in the pass will be in the shop after the event is over. That goes for tournament exclusive skins as well, such as the upcoming basketball Ranno skin. The pass is just a way to get it without paying any coins or bucks.
Well yeah, they've made it abundantly clear with the storefront that they care about MTX first and foremost, absolute shame such a good game has such a cancerous tumor attached to it
I think being able to unlock a free skin every month, and being able to support devs for the bundle - or individually with coins later with no FOMO or “limited time” manipulation is solid
You supported the devs when you bought the game, there is zero excuse for having multiple bundles that all cost 2/3 of what the FULL GAME did besides greed, just because it's an indie team doing it instead of a AAA team doesn't suddenly make it any less scummy.
@@johndelanie3649it'd be scummy if the paid content gave players advantages. These are just cosmetics. You don't need to spend a dollar over the base price to be able to access the same things that professionals use. There are also plenty of cosmetics you can get without paying.
@@johndelanie3649 It's all just skins and there's plenty of opportunity for players to unlock free cosmetics. The devs plan to support this game for years, I feel like I've already gotten more than $30 dollars of enjoyment out of the game so I don't mind supporting them extra.
@@johndelanie3649you paid for the game to play it, buying the skin adds no functionality other than making you feel nice while helping to keep the studio running
Hoping they do another 3d event in the future with more characters! Maybe in a year to celebrate 1 year since rivals 2 released. I definitely agree that crunchy voice lines would be awesome!
I feel like Clairen's relatively more detailed design and Kragg's size help their low poly skins stand out more compared to the other 2. Low poly Clairen is by far the coolest skin in the game right now.
@@KKJazz Yeah Ranno really doesn't look different enough if that makes sense. If they do more low poly skins going forward I'd say I'd be looking forward to Fleet as she's detailed like Clairen and could look nice in the style and Zetter because his base model is the ugliest in the game imo. Loxo could be cool too for the same reason as Kragg, but I've played him a grand total of 1 time when I picked random in a casual match.
Great content! You have good takes imo, and quick no-nonsense style, while still obviously being very knowledgeable and giving good info. I dig it. I hope you do these videos for every event!
0:40 No, there is no level limit on battle pass. Getting level 20/21 for getting all distinct rewards its good. Once you reach Lv20, all next rewards will be 500 coins each level. Its way better to have less farming needed. If you want more rewards, just play the game, you will earn 500 coins each level above the battle pass default level (20/21, I say Lv20 because Lv21 its 500 coins as the next rewards). And 500 coins per level its a good amount of coins for an event as an extra. It sucks when battle passes create the need to log-in /play the game everyday.
$20 bundles every single month, plus not being able to spend less than $10 at a time on Aether Bucks, plus how expensive the skins are by themselves, makes me feel like the pricing is a little crazy. I know they're just giving away Aether Bucks for playing during these events too but there comes a problem when you want to spend a little bit extra to get a cooler skin and your only two options are wait for next month's event or pay $10 instead of just a few dollars. They definitely know what they're doing when it comes to trying to get people's money in a "consumer friendly" way.
The voice filter is my biggest issue with these skins. They'd be so much more charming if they had low res voicelines! It's also what stopped me from buying Slasher Clairen. If she had a modulated voice, I'd definitely have gotten it
That's the plan! I'm thinking of waiting a few months for some more skins to be released but I'd love to do a longer video showcasing / ranking all of them.
I feel like a lot of the disappointment people feel with this event could be solved if they just gave us a free token or something to pick what event skin you want insted of being locked to just wrastor
please keep up the rivals videos. i bought it but my stone age laptop can’t run it; had to refund it. been living vicariously through any type of content. and yours is especially good!
The skins cost way too much fucking money. The game had a Kickstarter, it's 30 dollars, and ONE bundle of 3 skins is 20 dollars? Absurd. I'm all for the game having events and skins but the prices are absurd. Ya the battle pass is kinda quick to get through but that's a good thing.
The event is actually much longer then that, I’m currently on level 35 and still don’t know when it ends, so ya the coins are actually pretty generous.
Btw they have said the buck and coin counts and everything are all subject to change. This is their first monthly event so I assume there will be more changes next month. Although i dont see prices going lower. It's kinda costly but I just save bucks to buy the skins that I want. Plus when stuff rotates to coin shop its roughly half the cost in coins (i think)
as someone who just bought the game, a little dissapointed there aren't a lot of free ways to earn skins, a longer battlepass and maybe daily quests for bucks would be awesome
I think they started replacing Orcane with Ranno in the promo art to make it less jarring that Orcane wasn't one of the first characters shown off in the initial Rivals 2 trailers and betas. Now that he's actually in the game, there's no excuse.
I kinda wish the stuff that costed irl money were cheaper in this game. Why does a lot of the stuff cost nearly as much as the actual game? it's ridiculous.
@@pearce9063 Ig but I think the prices are a bit egregious. Like, $20 for what's basically 3 skins, some in-game loot and some profile icons? Kinda weak for the price tbh.
Some of these comments make me realize you can never make everyone happy. A small Dev team that wants to create content for years, promises us an amazing online expierence with rollback and all future characters, cant try to make money themselves in those years. Insane.
You're probably unaware but the BP levels go passed 21 and just give you extra coins which is nice (more if you have the starter pack). Also, I don't mind the FREE battlepass is this short because they didn't want it to be too grindy. The only grinding in this game are character levels. Even better, after every BP the cosmetics go to the store forever. And I don't agree with the mindset about the bundles considering some things. 1. All new character releases will be free and 2. They gotta support the small dev team, these tournaments, servers, etc. I like this over the F2P model that MVS has done & drove me away. This is what I think personally so if you disagree, that's fine too.
Darn the Low-Poly Ranno diss! I mean, I agree it should have been Orcane but it's not that bad lol Pretty happy with the pass overall, cause honestly, while I play semi-regularly, I'd much prefer a pass that takes a few days to grind out rather than the alternative, which would be SF6s passes, that are equally as easy to progress, but are around for so little time that it can be hard to really completely them x-x Plus the no paid track and just relegating the skins to a bundle (and eventually just the buck shop) is really nice in comparison
I love this -battle- event pass thing. I will keep buying these packs as they come. I actually really like the ranno one but I can see why its not your favorite. So far I love this entire game. Only complaint is defense is a little too strong all around but i think with a few patches the game will be even better.
One thought i had was buy the starter pack and buy only the clairen and kragg skin. Plus i get that 20% gold increase. I feel like that is the smarter choice if you want just the skins
Like for recognising the Orcane erasure, but as someone who may end up playing the game next year at earliest, I'll write off the battle pass grind for skins till things get a lot cheaper. Shame that they didn't nail the audio completely but a strong start.
I think my frustration with the low poly Ranno is that he's way *way* too detailed in the model for what that would actually be back in the day. That bubble sash thing would be floating 16x16 repeating box textures with two-tris per bubble and the athletic tape would be solid white via vertex color instead of texture mapped.
I do think the might've missed a little bit by not having bitcrushed audio. I still got the bundle and like the skins, it just would've been pretty cool
is anyone else *really* disappointed about how cosmetic and microtransaction based rivals 2 is immediately after launch? I find it so disheartening seeing skin after skin being released for this game, most of which I can *never* unlock without spending money on the game I already spent 30 bucks on. Seriously, I can only ever get 250 bucks per character (which is SO much grinding) plus 250 per monthly battle pass, so unless I spend more money I won't be able to get the halloween skin i want until AT LEAST january. It's so annoying to see when this game is completely lacking in any singleplayer content, and the first game had fully customizable color palettes I could make my own costumes with.
yeah I understand they're indee and need to make money but the content you get for a 30$ is kinda insane right now, not only is the game unfinished, with a terrible training mod, a single, and pretty lame arcade mod, sketchy online, no tutorial, you can't even see your progress of the character xp, ect, and ON TOP OF THAT they added more skin that cost more than the base game if you want them all, AND you get basically no free skin, I played like almost 30Hours with the beta and full release and don't have a single skin. Melty Blood Type Lumina, even if they have a bigger team~had free dlc AND no toxic monetization like that.
Honestly I am seriously hoping they dont go past 21 levels, 25 would be pushing it. Im sick and tired of games with passes that expect me to do nothing but play the game for weeks. I know R2 already doesnt have the fomo of other games with passes but I love how I can comfortably complete the whole thing with just a couple days of playing
I liked it, so it's good. 21 is FINE Yeah rounding it at 30 might have felt more satisfying, but like, that at least means I can complete it in a reasonable amount of time. And look, no "premium pass" with more stuff that I'd need to pay for. I can buy the bundle if I want, yeah, but I can still get free stuff, and that's FINE.
Okay, I am NOT a fan of the battle pass. Solely because I did not know the event would be just a battle pass. I personally thought events would add something more to the game other then skins like maybe a special gamemode or anything to break up the monotony of grinding ranked. I really get people love this game for the gameplay and its cool if you do but for me its like I can only play three modes. 1v1, 2v2 or free for all and that’s it. I get that this game is super hardcore competitive but even I sometimes like to turn on items in smash or play unique stages with or without stage hazards . I was personally hoping we would get new stages (instead of seeing the same three because people keep banning stages) maybe remixes of modes (maybe like online co op for multiman smash which would have been perfect for this event imo) or challenged target smash levels that could even have a leaderboard for who’s completing them the fastest (that would be awesome and still competitive) or maybe even dare I say , event boss fights where you can fight super buffed versions of a character/characters that the event is based on, sort of like spirits in ultimate. Maybe Im asking for too much personally and for a first battlepass the rewards like extra coins, skins and aether bucks is extremely generous for a completely free battle pass compared to other games charge a minimum of ten bucks for it and the skins are pretty fun but it doesn’t extend past its novelty for me personally.
Everything is absolutely WAAY too overpriced, but it's also not completely unreasonable to unlock it all for free just by playing, I finished the entire battlepass over the span of 2 nights playing ranked and in the process got a bunch of coins to purchase some icons and effects unrelated. I'd never spend real money on any of it because the prices really are ridiculous (it's like 10$ for a single skin??) but making both currencies earn able in game by just playing is a fine compromise so im not too bothered by the prices.
This game is $30 and the amount of aether bucks you get is criminal. Current plan looks like you'll be able to buy a premium skin once every TWO MONTHS. This is as bad as a free to play model
I get why they didn't do it but I really wish every skin got a low Poly version I think it will just be neat and even though they didn't do it I just wish they made one more skin free
Generous how? 4 characters got skins, 3 of which are locked behind the bundle or the paid currency store, all the 'XP' skins are either the event skins you'd be trying to use XP to get, or Kickstarter exclusive backer skins. Nothing generous about it, only a more tempting carrot than usual dangled in front of your face.
I kinda dig the infinite extra coins ALSO COMPLETE AGREE ON RANNO, and honestly Clairen too since she just got slasher, even though it's great. (I also kinda just hate her, so fuck'em)
my only complaint is the lack of bucks. each skin is 1000 bucks, but you can only earn 250. other than that it was wonderful and i loved the new skins. also how dare you hate on low poly clairens green alt, its 90s as hell and goes just as hard as the red one
I'll never understand this complaint that needing to participate in 4 months of events = 1 free 1000 buck skin, that's incredibly generous compared to most other games where you wouldn't even earn the paid currency in the battle pass let alone the cosmetic being locked behind specifically a paywall only. Besides you're only looking at it with the 1k buck skins when there's plenty of 500 and 250 buck skins in the shop as well
I actually feel 250 bucks is a lot. I dont want this game to suffer from low funding. I know youd need 4 events to get a 1,000 skin but still Ive already gotten 300 bucks just playing the game normally and dont want the game to suffer from low funding.
This sucks the battle pass from the game I play give 3 skins, 2 of them are exclusive and enuf extra to buy half another mid tier skin. There are also 3 exclusive effects. But then they even give out 25-50% battlepass discount every 3 seasons
It's too bad you can't purchase the next battle pass with aether bucks from the actual one like fortnite or street fighter, i don't really buy cosmetics much but they would have another 20 bucks from me if it worked like this lol
If you need a battlepass to play a game, you are playing for the wrong reasons (and it is why I'm still casually playing ultimate after so many years but dropped every other ftp/gatcha/similar game). So no, thank the devs for making short to end the battlepass for people who just play casually after work
no 21 is plenty
I'm tired of battle passes that make me grind for weeks
I'm tired of battle passes period but if you are making one, make it short
Fr. Fuck this fomo shit
They said they wouldn't have any. Unless bundles can be progressed anytime, this is fomo
@@homeyworkey they said all this stuff will go to the permanent shop after it's done but still
@@homeyworkeyYou can buy the skins after the event is over, the only "fomo" I can is getting them for free

I think wrastor is the free one because the other 3 are way more played giving people more incentive to buy them
Well yeah, they've made it abundantly clear with the storefront that they care about MTX first and foremost, absolute shame such a good game has such a cancerous tumor attached to it
@@johndelanie3649 whats mtx?
what is MTX @@johndelanie3649
track is infinite length, as long as the event is up youll get 500 coins per level past 20
Oh I didn't know! That actually does solve one of my bigger issues with the monthly event.
Good to know! Thank you!
Damn, thats actually pretty fire.
yea that’s why they put 5000+ on the event page, you can just keep going

I noticed vertex wiggle on those skins as well, its subtle but thats just such a neat detail from psx graphics
Ranno is the franchise representative, Orcane is the franchise ambassador.
Really loving the rivals content! Keep it up!
The blue skin for low poly Clairen kinda reminds me of her infamous skin and red low poly Kragg reminds me of his burrito skin
Should've went with the low poly + sprite look instead imo, I like it a lot
Compressed voicelines would’ve been godlike fosho - starfox 64 vibes
I would love it if you did reviews like this for all of the passes! Really enjoying your RoA2 content lately

Have you heard that the 7th Fraymakers character is 75%+ done?😃
I personally think the pink color for Clairen isn't that bad either, the pink and green strangely compliment each other.
They are being super generous with this one imo, lovely and fresh from a game studio these days
Generous how? 4 characters got skins, 3 of which are locked behind the bundle or the paid currency store, all the 'XP' skins are either the event skins you'd be trying to use XP to get, or Kickstarter exclusive backer skins. Nothing generous about it, only a more tempting carrot than usual dangled in front of your face.
@johndelanie3649 I dunno man I got so much tokens from just playing that I can get the stuff I want already
hell yea
As a wrastor main i'm eating good
Thank you for your subjective review on this subjective topic of subjective cosmetics in an objective video game
I kinda dig the infinite extra coins ALSO COMPLETE AGREE ON RANNO, and honestly Clairen too since she just got slasher, even though it's great. (I also kinda just hate her, so fuck'em)
do more of this
I think if you got to chose which retro skin you wanted, it wouldve been better
How many wins u need to complete the event 3d ?
How did you level up so quickly?
NAAAAH, A BATTLEPASS
my only complaint is the lack of bucks. each skin is 1000 bucks, but you can only earn 250. other than that it was wonderful and i loved the new skins.
also how dare you hate on low poly clairens green alt, its 90s as hell and goes just as hard as the red one
I'll never understand this complaint that needing to participate in 4 months of events = 1 free 1000 buck skin, that's incredibly generous compared to most other games where you wouldn't even earn the paid currency in the battle pass let alone the cosmetic being locked behind specifically a paywall only. Besides you're only looking at it with the 1k buck skins when there's plenty of 500 and 250 buck skins in the shop as well
so is the battlepass free or do you have to pay 20 bucks?
I actually feel 250 bucks is a lot. I dont want this game to suffer from low funding. I know youd need 4 events to get a 1,000 skin but still Ive already gotten 300 bucks just playing the game normally and dont want the game to suffer from low funding.
(Besides events) if you get every character to level 50 the max free amount of bucks you can get is 2,500
The green clairen skin was the best one what??
Its not just 21 levels! Im at level 24 rn and you just keep getting coins. It might just be infinite but we'll find out
This sucks the battle pass from the game I play give 3 skins, 2 of them are exclusive and enuf extra to buy half another mid tier skin. There are also 3 exclusive effects. But then they even give out 25-50% battlepass discount every 3 seasons
I see the vision for the emote but i think they shot themselves in the foot for not making the transformation a crappy polyganal clairen.
Bro the money we get from this is epic.
"It only took 4 hours."
That's half the playtime of clearing many games. I wouldn't use "only" there. lol
It's too bad you can't purchase the next battle pass with aether bucks from the actual one like fortnite or street fighter, i don't really buy cosmetics much but they would have another 20 bucks from me if it worked like this lol
If you need a battlepass to play a game, you are playing for the wrong reasons (and it is why I'm still casually playing ultimate after so many years but dropped every other ftp/gatcha/similar game).
So no, thank the devs for making short to end the battlepass for people who just play casually after work
350 is a fair amount of bucks imo
why don’t the other characters have skins? i don’t care if i can’t play as lowpoly loxodont
I like the dittering the skins have
