One of my biggest gripes with recent platform fighters is that their sound design is just underwhelming, and if you couple that with bad visual design (say hit/attack particles and effects), you get games that are just not that satisfying to play. This game is very well designed in both of those aspects, so I'm really digging it.
I have to say I’ve been watching you for a few years now and I really like how much better you’ve gotten at editing, I used to watch you cus you had clean af gameplay and cringe when you put one of about 12 different meme edits in every 10 seconds now I can enjoy the few memes and the nice zoom ins and other subtle edits. You definitely come a long way and haven’t lost your clean af game play ether
So for hitting Zetter's Up-B with Down-Air, you do have to wait for his hitbox to go away, but if you're close enough you can actually hit thru it Also Fleet has an advantage with her grab pummels because she actually does get quite a bit off her regular pummel as well as her special pummel. I tend to use regular pummel most of the time since Back throw can apply the time bomb if u have it activated. Fun fact, if u have Neutral-B active and then get the special pummel, you can get two stacks of the time bomb if u just wait a bit to back throw
Here's how to get more arrow charges: it's either grabbing your opponent and doing a normal pummel while picking it up or the special get up while hitting them then picking em up
@@legendarylitening Rivals 1 was all about the parries so having a very similar mechanic but also removes your opponent's projectiles is crazy. no more stage control!
@@RushWheeler Like It doesn't last that long and most characters aren't really hurt by not using their projeciles for a few seconds. Feels kind of useless to be but idk
Ult is too good for me to drop, so now I have 2 platform fighters. I bet the rivals comp scene will take over though, this game is made for the competitive community
Ult is a fun game, i don’t understand R2 players constantly feeling the need to shit on it instead of just enjoying both; one casually and one competitively
I'm new to this game and platform fighters in general, holy the combos you pull off are extremely sick, game is still new so I'm waiting for a guide that explains mechanics and combos/how to follow up on attacks like you did :')
Giving Megaman infinite range on his dair would already be wild, but it's also a consistent spike all the way through and it's on the character with a peach float 😅 like literally what can you do?
I play Loxo, but also only play FFA. He's super fun. Almost pulled a comeback against a 3 stock against another Loxo, but he clipped my big toe with one of his attacks. :( I did, however, absolutely destroy a Fleet with a fully, magma charged smash, and only because an enemy Clairen grabbed her.
This game looks genuinely intriguing and like it could be one of the only true competitors to Smash! I really hope it comes to consoles at some point; especially the Switch, because I don't really play PC games often at this point in time. If this game comes to Switch, I'll definitely have to give it a go.
If I ever get this game, (which depends on if it comes to console or not) I'm playing Lox just cuz' I love elephants and he also has an axe, so I can make that "Can I axe u a question?" pun...unless a giraffe comes to Rivals. I love giraffes even more.
I’m scared for how the Fleet develops and if it compares to your Ultimate Link I messed with Maypel a bit during the beta and was having a lot of fun with them
I really feel like people counterpick with Clairen because they read on Twitter that she’s a broken baby character and not because they actually have an easier time with her
And the irony is that most people claiming she is a baby character are just Zetterburn/Maypul/Ranno spammers. Especially Zetter, his fire mechanic is literally Clairen’s mechanic but for crayon eaters that don’t know what spacing is.
Mate of mine said on release "Why tf is such a game competetive that you want to waste your life on it? You just press one button lol" Just sent him your video. I might suck for now, but I'm determined xD
I'm not sure if he mentioned something to make you all about it, but it's probably a GameCube Controller through a Nintendo GC to USB adapter, or a similar Mayflash adapter. If you think you need a parry button for Rivals, you just hit Shield + Special, and the macro activates parry.
Had the same experience, not sure if the choice actually does anything or if it's just for show... Fortunately things levelled out a bit after getting ground into the dirt during the placement matches and the game finally accepted that I'm bad and plan to stay that way.
@Botplay01 Well my opponents weren't unranked and were all in gold, each higher ELO than the last but all around 1000, although I don't doubt most of them moved up further than that based on what I was up against. So unless that's the threshold for what the game counts as Beginner then I'm not sure it could be blamed on smurfing.
My issue with Rivals so far is that I have played about a dozen matches casually so far, and the amount of people who Tea Bag has been wild! Like gameplay wise, I love it and I am already excited to practice up, but for the love of god people stop bagging!
@Sillintor maybe it's because I am playing in casual arenas, or just unlucky in my match-ups. It's a super fun game and I am having a blast! I just figured it would be awhile longer before people did.
yep. It's already in the roadmap, the devs talked about it few days ago. The bad news is that they said it's gonna be about 2 years from now. So yeah ... maybe get a Steam Deck(?) 😅😅 sry man
Find a nice used gaming laptop on OfferUp or Craigslist! Something like an Acer Nitro 5 or anything Lenovo Legion or Asus G15 would handle this game just fine. It's worth saving up 300 to 700 for it. I got one (Asus ROG Strix G15 AMD, 300fps) for 1300 and would never go back.
I'm enjoying it. But it doesn't feel as responsive as ultimate. I don't know if there's no buffering but I try to jump after maybe an up throw and it just eats my input. Tech tracing with a regular jab attack or down till I will almost always dash attack. Hitting down till while running will always dash attack. Unless you stop running first then down till and you have to time it perfectly
Oh all those dash attack "issues" are definitely a learning curve that's there by design. The game limits you in your running state, so you need to either cancel it or use other ways to move altogether depending on what you're trying to do in your situation. Then, about the up throw, it could just be that the one you're using has a ton of frame lag when compared to the average up throw in ultimate.
There is buffer, but not as much as Ult which often doesn't require any timing at all. It isn't eating your input; you are trying to act before you are actionable so nothing is happening. It's way easier and has way more buffer than Melee and p+, but it doesn't give it to you for free. That said, it is definitely much more responsive than Ult imo because Ult has significantly more built in lag. Your character moves much more quickly after an input is made in rivals 2
Ngl it sucks if you don't have the money and can't buy the game since i much prefer the combo game of Rivals 2, as opposed to Rivals 1 because grabs are in the game now, therefore, more moves which means more combos. If you could keep the demo but not the online, it'd be way better for once you do buy the game. Not like i can't buy the game.
@LunarDarkness983 Compared to other platform fighting games (like Smash) i think it has a lot of potential to be pretty unique with its characters movesets. And, comparing the pricing, RoA2 is much cheaper than Smash, and every new character or item doesn't require actual money, so it is really cheap when you compare the two together. (Although, there is no Workshop mode yet.)
I honestly don't know where I really trash talked somebody. And if I said something it was VERY MILD not even worthy of calling it trash talk tbh. It's not like I insulted a player
game looked nice til i saw it was a copy and paste of smash bros. Worst figthing game ever is smash bros. 90% of the fight is just trying to throw ppl off. even kept the stupid bubble shield that goes with no particular character. just a trash way to make a fighting game. Hope you have fun tho.
I really hope this game can take the Platform Fighting Scene
Smash needs a competition. Also this game actually has smooth netcode so it's playable online where I smash almost never was
@@BluuSkyz yes and yes
@dogyX3 I also hope that people stop saying that it's "Too similar to Brawlhalla."
@@Botplay01 I don't know who is saying that, but they must be taking heavy psychotropic drugs to even think that.
@@BluuSkyz I think the more successful this game is, the better Smash 6 will be, so it's in Smash fans best interest to support this game

Not only is it a new game, but I can see a totally new energy in you and your gameplay. I'm so glad this game is popping off with the Smash community
So for hitting Zetter's Up-B with Down-Air, you do have to wait for his hitbox to go away, but if you're close enough you can actually hit thru it
Also Fleet has an advantage with her grab pummels because she actually does get quite a bit off her regular pummel as well as her special pummel. I tend to use regular pummel most of the time since Back throw can apply the time bomb if u have it activated.

All those Clairen counterpicks and not a single down B in sight
Is that down b even good? I don’t get it,
@@legendarylitening Rivals 1 was all about the parries so having a very similar mechanic but also removes your opponent's projectiles is crazy. no more stage control!

@@legendarylitening it just makes it way easier for Clairen to outrange enemies other than Maypul in that zone
If I had a knickle for every time Clairen got picked to counter fleet, I'd be a millionaire.
Im gonna buy this game now since its on sale. I originally wasnt planning on it yet
All my friends from ult have this game, and we all agreed that we are never touching ultimate ever again 😂 rivals 2 is the future
me and my friend group all came over from ult, however i will still be playing ult even if they don’t 😂
Ult is too good for me to drop, so now I have 2 platform fighters. I bet the rivals comp scene will take over though, this game is made for the competitive community

@@morgboat744 I find ult much more fun to watch most of the time anyway. The competitive scene isn't that bad
@@morgboat744 im still playing ult as pseudo-competitively as i was before, albeit less sessions lately because rivals is very fun.
How’s the game going for you?
Yes, it is out.
Yeah Fleet was by far my fav during the demo. Played her more than any other but I jived with orcane as well.
I'm new to this game and platform fighters in general, holy the combos you pull off are extremely sick, game is still new so I'm waiting for a guide that explains mechanics and combos/how to follow up on attacks like you did :')
OMG A "TECH DE JESUS" REFERENCE
EL SEGUNDO TECH DE JESUS
Wooo this game is super awesome also in America I only see the bird and frog pretty much every game
The moment i watched the Sillintor bomb recovery video
my link went from a lvl 1 peasant to a level 50 mafia boss
@1:50 I love the music here
Love your rivals 2 content!
clearly we need a new casual space called: Can take a stock of Sillin.
Not me doing ranked thinking I'm pretty good and then getting 4 cracked ranno's and losing every time 😢
Now become a kragg main, his set ups are wild with the walls !
Giving Megaman infinite range on his dair would already be wild, but it's also a consistent spike all the way through and it's on the character with a peach float 😅 like literally what can you do?

YAY
Im enjoying this game glad you're making content on it
Elite Xenoblade 2 music selections
So very glad this is a thing!
Apparently her neutral pummel drops a food that when you grab it gives you an arrow charge
love the thumbnail

It'll take a couple years but it will def come to consoles - esp switch
This game needs to be big.
2:45 Dude I do this too because my brain also gets hitstunned please help 💀

It is confirmed coming to console but it'll take a year or two
is this coming out on console?
This looks like a good one. The only thing I'm not liking is how it looks when a move is strong enough to kill. Launches too slow maybe
I’m scared for how the Fleet develops and if it compares to your Ultimate Link
I messed with Maypel a bit during the beta and was having a lot of fun with them
I really feel like people counterpick with Clairen because they read on Twitter that she’s a broken baby character and not because they actually have an easier time with her
@@marin9412 I do agree that she is really broken, but she's only broken if you have a really good reaction time and have a decent amount of skill.
And the irony is that most people claiming she is a baby character are just Zetterburn/Maypul/Ranno spammers.
Especially Zetter, his fire mechanic is literally Clairen’s mechanic but for crayon eaters that don’t know what spacing is.
Am I the only one thinking that Link should be able to shoot arrows up as this character and be able to cancel the neutral b too?
Mate of mine said on release "Why tf is such a game competetive that you want to waste your life on it? You just press one button lol"
Just sent him your video.
I might suck for now, but I'm determined xD
your first attempt in a rivals 2 tournament when?
Gestern einmal Leffen zugeschaut und du hast direkt gegen ihn gespielt :D
Can you try three player battles or four player battles
What crontroller do you use? Is there a brand I should look out for?
I would also like to know.
I'm not sure if he mentioned something to make you all about it, but it's probably a GameCube Controller through a Nintendo GC to USB adapter, or a similar Mayflash adapter.
If you think you need a parry button for Rivals, you just hit Shield + Special, and the macro activates parry.
8:35 yo what is this vibe of a track? I know I know it, I just don't know where it's from
i am a beginner choosing beginner.. and i always get so fucked xD
Had the same experience, not sure if the choice actually does anything or if it's just for show... Fortunately things levelled out a bit after getting ground into the dirt during the placement matches and the game finally accepted that I'm bad and plan to stay that way.
@refurin7215 It's probably because a lot of the new players came from Smash Bros. and might be "smurfing" by picking low rank.
@Botplay01 Well my opponents weren't unranked and were all in gold, each higher ELO than the last but all around 1000, although I don't doubt most of them moved up further than that based on what I was up against. So unless that's the threshold for what the game counts as Beginner then I'm not sure it could be blamed on smurfing.
ngl smash should have dlc character alts, would be sick
fleet looks like pit from a gameplay perspective honestly
That first clairen thought they were advanced💀
Hi sillintor!
Please ramen man I need your recipe
we’re so back.
My issue with Rivals so far is that I have played about a dozen matches casually so far, and the amount of people who Tea Bag has been wild! Like gameplay wise, I love it and I am already excited to practice up, but for the love of god people stop bagging!
Really? I have not seen a single teabagger so far
@Sillintor maybe it's because I am playing in casual arenas, or just unlucky in my match-ups. It's a super fun game and I am having a blast! I just figured it would be awhile longer before people did.
Day 1 of asking Sillin to try playing Loxodont.
idk why but I can't hear sound effects or music when u are playing rivals in your twitch vods D: i only hear your voice.
im so shit in this game i really hope to get better haha but the game is hype now i only need etalus back then it is freaking fire
is this only on pc?
anyone know the song at 0:28 ?
What does the term DI mean?
is this game gonna release on the switch ?
There's a Rivals 2 road map on their website!
Ong i hate fighting against a good fleet. She is so broken
There is absolutely no way ultimate has better movement than this game.
Please tell me there's plans for a console release, I'm tired of Ultimate's horrible online

Play ranked. This just feels like you're bullying the Casual players. 😂
Ranked didn't carry over from the demo so he has to earn ranked mode again
It felt kinda scummy saying the guy shouldn't play a new character. Like it's casual mode where else are they gonna play them
i hope this game does well. rivals 1 really didnt get a fair chance. and its better than mvs and nasb2
I feel like I want to main that Fox character but the voice acting is so incredibly annoying that I don't think I'll be able to tolerate playing her.
Are all the matches this one sided or are we only seeing the ones where he wins? Dude is pretty much destroying everybody almost every match.
