feels literally awesome to play in, takes out all the frustration the game had, even gouie is not that annoying to play against, both kinds of camera are fine to me honestly, would like to try it with the rivals2 camera settings

the real question is, was shields and grabs really a good idea? and a character with half of its attacks being grabs on top of it?
what was the problem with the old format exactly? did parry's stun set the entry barrier too high? shields set it much higher

and isnt it too much things to do with 10 fingers?
shift, wasd, space // numpad0789+, i dont have that wavedash thing as a seperate button, or parry, and grabbing with the pinky finger is too risky considering the reaction time, (this could be a me problem)

would really love to see the game with the old format, and without the characters that are much more advantageous on a controller, yk, the game is on steam, xbox/ps releases years away, nintendo already has smash, "veterans of the genre" is fine to an extent, but is it really a good idea to build the whole client to be controller-first in consideration?

-and few characters, i assume absa's setups are easier to manage on a controller, for example. i didn't try on controller, just assuming, though 16 directional zetterburn sspecials and diagonal ftilts on maypul are obvious-

also, olympia's sspecial gets you falling off the platform if you miss.
wrastor gets locked to walkmod after you dashattack.

There is an argument for it being too far now, but it feels like I can read the game much better with everything zoomed out. Like taking an FPS FOV from 75 to 95.

Edit: To be clear, I believe I like the stock camera's dynamic view better vs rivals 1 almost static, but it needs to be pulled back a decent ways back to increase the FOV.

I tried the Rivals 1 throwback mode once and it wasnt for me (would be better if it was 1 vs 1 and without the feather), if i wanted to play that with friends i would just boot up rivals 1. Casual was my second most played mode, so im kinda bummed...

I could see Olympia moving up to meta staples with the changes from last month though.

Besides abyss. I'll buy it. Thank you!

I had been waiting for so long to play rivals! But it’s on pc only, then I found out the first one dropped on the switch and I immediately copped!!

Titanoboa is a genus of extinct giant boid snake that lived during the middle and late Paleocene epoch. Titanoboa is estimated to grow up to 42 ft or perhaps even up to 47 ft long, and weigh around 1,610 to 2,500 lb.

So on the last battle pass, we got the summer theme skins for Clairen and Absa along with 2 recolors, that's over 2000 in-game bucks they helped me save since I never bought them. For this upcoming track I was not expecting them to GIVE the Gundam-themed mecha skins for the 3 or 4 characters that are in there.

I think I only have Wrastor's mecha skin, but everyone else's I would be getting for free on top of the Gundam color scheme. That's insane imho, especially for a dev team who are struggling financially, and I think us players really should consider helping them out for providing so much bang for the buck. Of course I can't tell anyone else how to spend their money, but this is just my thought process that I hope many others will adopt toward how they're handling their recent battle passes.

"Where my GOOP at?" - A combo video of my first patch Gouie! It's nothing special but I wanted to get all my first month clips together into something before we got too far into the new and improved Gouie

I like the shields.
I like the grabs.
I'm not good enough to know if I like floorhug yet, I don't know how to use it, and I don't really think about beating it.
I think the get up specials are neat.
I think we're spoiled by the devs.
My condolences to all the other mechanics people have lost from transitioning from Rivals 1 to Rivals 2, but that game still exists.
I don't want Rivals 2 to turn into Rivals 1, because that means we'd have 2 Rivals and I like Rivals 2

Are you going to check out the new Rivals 1 Throwback queue? I think it'd be nice if there was a 1v1 queue option, but from the little bit I've played so far, the modifiers feel a lot closer to R1 than they did last patch, the new R1 camera is pretty much the icing on the cake!

HOLA!! Earlier this season I took up the challenge for Wrastor to GM. Lots of IRL stuff happened to keep me from being able to grind consistently, peaking at 1600.
In order to compensate for my transgressions, this season I will bring Wrastor to Aetherian.
If you have any questions about Wrastor play in the meantime, feel free to ask c:

I will properly host a Q&A once I hit this goal.

Thanks!

Playing unranked. I kept matching against a guy that was much better than me.

I never dodged at the character select screen. I would play a match with him, try my best, but still get 3 stocked and leave to requeue and hope to get someone else.

I got temp banned for an hour?

Am I required to play a best of 3?

Original Tweet (please let me know if the original poster would like me to take this post down!)

I just played a game where I got 0 points, and I placed a lot lower than I normally do (normally place 1200, placed 975)

I really like this game and I want to play it often but playing with bots gets really boring. I want to play online but I always get destroyed even during unranked play. If there are other people here like me who are interested in playing with others but not with tryhards please let me know and we can try to play together! I don't lab combos or situations, I just like hitting buttons and hoping stuff works. Thanks!

The latest update with new song isn't my thing. Thankfully I can still get Slade's intro to work with audio at game startup. Added bonus, it mutes that annoying goey
