It's nice to see keke being hired for more big, official projects. I hope that means they're being paid well and their talent is being put to good use somewhere with some money backing it; they more than deserve it.
Yeah, same. Lilly shooting seeds you give her diagonally and being able to tether back to Lilly are two major QoL improvements, and she looks easier to use in general now while actually GAINING tools over her original incarnation. First returning character I've actually felt excited about experimenting with. The rest I'm sure are fun, but they all look like "Rivals 1, but can now throw, shield, and ledge grab."
I cannot explain the extent to which I am excited for this game. Maypul looks freaking insane and I'm HERE for it!! We get THREE "Lilys" that's so cute! Also omg kekeflipnote.
as a Maypul main, this is SO sick. more plants is not something I expected but I am DEFINITELY down for, making characters have more options and deepen their gameplay is what makes Rivals Rivals, and I'm happy to see that expanded upon!
It's also sick that they both clearly come from her abyss runes. She has a rune that lets her tether to lily and a rune that makes the seed hitbox send opponents towards her and they implemented both with new types of plants.
@@hughmungus99 I noticed that yeah!! I think it's really cool that they're taking elements from Abyss runes. Even in Rivals 1, Orcane used to have a rune that let him bounce during nair if he held it - that just ended up being implemented into his regular moveset. Hope we see a lot more of that in Rivals 2!
The return of the Forest Floor stage has me really excited for 3D Sylvanos. Rarely played Maypul but having more plant friends looks pretty interesting.
@@cosmic5665 The forest dwellers live in the treetops because the floor was consumed by the wrath of Sylvanos, what if he's since spread upward and overtaken Treetop Lodge? (Since The Wall keeps him from spreading outward)
What an interesting mechanic, cant wait to see how it fully works as the game gets worked on more and more, and eventually releases. Amazing work team!!
Really hoping that we get Sylvanos back at some point since his signature stage is coming back. He was my true main next to Ori, so I hope he makes a return. Though I imagine he would be quite a nightmare to animate in 3D, like orcane, but I can dream 😅
The animations are amazing. The game looks like it will control like a dream. The abilities are interesting and present a ton of opportunities for inventive and creative play. I am very excited for Rivals 2! (please let there be an equally-good single-player story mode!)
God the more I see the more I want. I am really hoping they nail the sound design like they did in Rivals 1. Ive noticed that most other platform fights have a heard time really selling the impact feel, look, and sound but I have total faith over at Aether Studios. KEEP IT UP!
That special pummel is so sick Answers the concerns of "why would you ever pummel if they can break free?" Though with how good it is, most opponents getting grabbed are probably going to just always mash that anti-option to prevent you from getting it
Wonderful trailer and Maypul looks great. I really hope this new stage shown means that Sylvanos will come back. I'm not holding my breath that everybody will be returning, but I hope that he's one of the returning vets =w=;
Boy, as if I wasn't already excited enough. Can't believe there's more to come, even after this. And after seeing how the game "Them's Fightin' Herds" came along, it's always nice seeing other indie games progressing along wonderfully. I know the Rivals series is bigger in the sense off more games & popularity, & that Them's Fightin' Herds is more infamous with its story of how it came to be. I simply enjoy knowing that indie designers can make a game (and/or series), that can be as big as a game from a big name company. Especially of all the work they put into it, you got to appreciate that.
The Kekeflipnote animation was unexpected. But Maypul looks really cool. I never played her in the first game, she awesome here. Hopefully, she'll have an actual down-air in this game.
Tge D-Air is the same; you can see it at 1:20 in this video. However, Maypul has always had her aerial D-Spec for immediate downward pressure, and she still has both options here.
@@DreamerAirazel I noticed it on the second viewing. Personally, Maypul's down air always felt unnatural to me, and I'm not sure if aerial down special would be a suitable replacement for me.
This trailer really started to sink in how close we are to rivals 2. Im starting to get pumped for this game all over again. After nasb and multiversus 2, i was starting to worry if platform fighters might be cursed, so im really hoping for this game to break that cycle ❤
Got the first game years ago cause of the pixel art, very cool and fun. honestly forgot about it and then this trailer comes out. he studio really went above and beyond since the first game. amazing. will buy.
How beautiful it is looking, I hope the community gives it a lot of support and people from smahs also know what a good game it is and I already want to see the guests oh future dlc ❤❤❤❤❤❤
this looks so cool!!! I never thought I'd see a reason to use getup attack as an edgegaurd. The updates are incredibly creative and look like a ton of fun!
I've always wanted to try the first rivals for the workshop fighters but this looks like a lot of fun to play also quite a surprise to see Keke for the intro quite excited for the release!
I am a bit late to comment here but THANK YOU once again for the great opportunity!! This meant a lot to me ❤
Your animations are always a treat!
Great animations as always :)
as soon as i saw the intro i knew that you made it
will you be helping them more?
I KNEW IT WAS YOU! Holy cow :3 great job!
Liked kekeflipnote’s guest animation for the trailer
YES!
Unexpected but cool
same, that took me by surprise
I was so enthralled by it I almost forgot Maypul was newly announced in this game
It so cute
I jumped out of my seat the very moment I saw that opening animation, seeing you guys getting Keke Flipnote to be part of this is amazing!
It's nice to see keke being hired for more big, official projects. I hope that means they're being paid well and their talent is being put to good use somewhere with some money backing it; they more than deserve it.
Honestly this trailer has made me way more interested in Maypul than I was in Rivals 1, she’s so well animated and looks really fun
same, her new stage looks really cool too
I think she'll also feel much better with ledge grabbing, always felt like i would barely not make it back in rivals 1.
THAT’S A WOMAN?!?!
Yeah, same. Lilly shooting seeds you give her diagonally and being able to tether back to Lilly are two major QoL improvements, and she looks easier to use in general now while actually GAINING tools over her original incarnation.

Lily, Terri and Poppy
We need a custom skin that adds the rivals 2 ledge grab and 3 plants to maple
Man I miss Flipnote. :(
I knew it was Keke's!! Good for him, always loved his animations

Honestly I can’t image we will get silvianos, at least at launch. My theory right now is 2 returning fighters per element
@@cupobeans503 most likely cuz they gotta polish the game
Like how the gameplay is looking a lot smoother Ngl. Seriously hyped for this to come out

Maypul looks SO fun to play in this game, the addition of new kinds of plants is pretty much what I felt she was missing from Rivals 1

Yeah same Sylvanos is such a cool character
Plus quadrupedal characters are very rare in platform fighters
God, each trailer of this game really showcases the polish of the visuals. Very impressed, excited to play it when it comes out!
I got chills. That last clip holy moly
Maypul was the reason i wanted to play the first game!❤ She looks So Sick here!!
The animations are amazing. The game looks like it will control like a dream. The abilities are interesting and present a ton of opportunities for inventive and creative play. I am very excited for Rivals 2!
(please let there be an equally-good single-player story mode!)
I’m so damn excited for this game.
Rivals 2 is gonna move mountains for the platform fighting genre- mark my words.
Finally, a third chance at making the "Maypul Story" joke in the achievements.
God the more I see the more I want. I am really hoping they nail the sound design like they did in Rivals 1. Ive noticed that most other platform fights have a heard time really selling the impact feel, look, and sound but I have total faith over at Aether Studios. KEEP IT UP!
I already loved playing Maypul in rivals and I love what was done with her here. Amazing
Man this looks amazing, can't wait to see 3D Orcane
Supporting this game through&through, telling everybody about it friends coworkers *everyone*
Whoever's animating this game needs a raise
As a maypul main in rivals 1, she makes me want to come back
That special pummel is so sick
Answers the concerns of "why would you ever pummel if they can break free?"
Though with how good it is, most opponents getting grabbed are probably going to just always mash that anti-option to prevent you from getting it
She looks so smooth when moving… very good, I’m so happy she translated this well!
The new moves make me think of melee where all the existing characters went from 3 moves to 4 and that just rounded out each character super nicely
I can't deny, Rivals just wouldn't be the same without Maypul. She looks so ferocious, I love it!
Finally Maypul is Here lets gooo
this channel already showcases their game better than most devs will do throughout a game's entire lifespan
I just get more and more excited for this game everytime a new trailer drops! 😎
Wonderful trailer and Maypul looks great. I really hope this new stage shown means that Sylvanos will come back. I'm not holding my breath that everybody will be returning, but I hope that he's one of the returning vets =w=;
No way they got them to make the intro! I love their animations!
Welcome back, Sylvan Watcher.
(And for a less serious note: On the scale of 1 to Furry, Maypul is definitely a Yes.)
Oh hey, I recognize this character! There's lots of fanart of her on that one website I go to for completely wholesome reasons!
Real one alert!

Such a natural transition to 3D!
Here comes the #PlantGang !
Wow, the new animations look fantastic! Y'all are tearing it up over there!

@@benjamingesinski9170It's definitely unique. I found both of them very useful when I was using Maypul in RoA1.
Hot damn, I didn't even realize a sequel was coming out. THIS LOOKS AMAZING THOUGH! Def throwing on the wishlist.
Maypul is my favorite character in the beta!
Maypul looks sick, but OMG LEDGE GRABBING!?!
The game keeps looking better with every trailer, this character is gonna be a menace LOL
Maypul has always been a menace. Now she's a menace with a ledge grab.
Rivals 2 is looking good! I got into playing the first one a few weeks ago and I cant wait for the sequel to come out.
So happy to see KekeFlipnote's work in the trailer. Great stuff ❤️
At least, we had the sound for the trailer during the presentation 🥲
Animations look smooth, can’t wait to play it!!!
She looks so ... squirrel-y and I LOVE IT
Maypul:" it's up to me!"
A badass start
The face Zetterburn makes at 0:49
Looks great, cant seem to not notice a lack of sylvanos though
I SCREAMED MY LUNGS OUT WHEN I SAW THE REVEAL LIVE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SO HAPPY
The mods for this game are going to be insane!
Ayyyyyy this game is already looking so hype!!! Can’t wait!!
I jumped a bit from my seat when I saw the animation! Much love for this trailer!❤
ive watched this 3 times in a row!! im so happy the queen has returned
She looks great! But more importantly, can't wait to see my boy Forsburn in action
Rivals 2 looking like it's gonna be one of my favorite games of all times exhibit z
No way you got Keke to animate the opening! That's so cool!
The intro made me actually lol 😂
Coming along great! Cannot wait to get my hands on this in the coming months!!
The flipnote opening is amazing
This trailer really started to sink in how close we are to rivals 2. Im starting to get pumped for this game all over again.
After nasb and multiversus 2, i was starting to worry if platform fighters might be cursed, so im really hoping for this game to break that cycle ❤
0:07 - Is that Kekeflipnote?!
The animation alone for this game is PHENOMENAL
Got the first game years ago cause of the pixel art, very cool and fun. honestly forgot about it and then this trailer comes out. he studio really went above and beyond since the first game. amazing. will buy.
1:04
The way it was especially focused made me sad when I realized moments later that those things were just stage elements
How beautiful it is looking, I hope the community gives it a lot of support and people from smahs also know what a good game it is and I already want to see the guests oh future dlc ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys absolutely crushed the 3D model. This looks incredible.
Just like that Maypul gonna be top tier
I'm so hyped for this game!!!!
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOLY SHIT
This game looks SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!! :o
It's even worse cuz Dan's mic was muted the whole damn time
LETS GO MAYPUL
FINALLY! My main has been revealed.
Looking forward for this game!
3 different Plants for clarity +respect
Very cool. Can't wait to try this
I cannot wait to have this game and play it for months on end
Man this game is looking so good
I can't wait for when Rivals 2 drops
So awesome and beautiful trailer!!!
Looks great! Reveal Guadua next please!
Bro I neeeeed this game to be huge and have a strong online competitive scene.
OH YEAH BABY!!!
Most definitely gonna be of the top PFF games out ‼️
Dude she sounds exactly how i thought she would in my head
this looks so cool!!! I never thought I'd see a reason to use getup attack as an edgegaurd. The updates are incredibly creative and look like a ton of fun!
I hope they keep making characters for it. This looks like an incredibly thought out and polished game
Soulrifle is about to be doing the nastiest combos
And popoffs don't forget the popoffs
Cannot wait for this game
Can’t wait to invest some time in this game!
The Kekeflipnote cameo caught me off guard, I’m not gonna lie-
I've always wanted to try the first rivals for the workshop fighters but this looks like a lot of fun to play
also quite a surprise to see Keke for the intro
quite excited for the release!
Still hyped for this game! Also I now have (a most likely false) hope that my boy Sylvanos will get in, as forest floor is in the game :D
They said everyone will return at some point, but not all will be in the base game
