>>506654212Listen here you little shit.
What are the odds that Absa is announced as the early Christmas present? How does "BONES" or whatever the hint was play into what will be revealed?
looks like mang0 nation has given up on rivals of aether
>>506654668Etalus is probably coming first, his name is already on the game files
>>506656193Nigger hes playing tonight
>>506656750I'm going to play this game tonight too, your point?
forsburn can win 90% interactions by just standing in place slightly folding forward and pressing A a lot and there's genuinely nothing you can do but play around it
>lost the armada bump>lost the m2k bump>lost the leffen bump>about to lose the mango bumpit's so freaking over
>>506659840none of them will ever admit it but the game simply isnt interesting enough. they genuinely tried to like the game.
>>506659840In the end, Rivals 2 refused to become as sick as Melee. By choice.
>>506662893and that's all melee players wanted, a fun game. don't know why that was always argued against so hard
>>506663256>melee>funMutually exclusive anon, Rivals 2 chose fun
>>506663332no, rivals 2 chose competitive over fun
>>506663673Other way around, the melee community chose competitive only just like the fgc did with S0, they ruined the online scene by forgoing anything that isn't a 1v1 or tournament 2v2. They sucked the fun out of the online scene leaving only the sweatiest left and those people only play ranked and solos.
If you ask someone if they want to play Rivals with you, they're going to assume you mean Marvel Rivals. That's a huge blow no matter which way you slice it.
>>506663673lol nice b8 m8
>>506663332Melee was the party game of its generation my fine underaged friend. Yes, it's a very fun game and was long before competitive mattered to it.
>>506664735lolLMAOAnd how many friends hated you for beating them at melee?
>>506664221are you implying there's a big crossover between hero shooter slop and indie fighting games? you doomposters are outright retarded
>>506664735Melee was a party game, the competitive scene for it was not. They removed all party aspects to curate the sweatiest meta heavy experience where a lot of the roster is only getting played by people who will die on the hill that they are their main. Don't be disingenuous as to what melee is and what Smash actually is.
>>506665242>are you implying there's a big crossover between hero shooter slop and indie fighting games?No, I'm implying that Marvel Rivals is so big that is has stolen the shorthand "Rivals" name.
>>506664118No, melee chose fun and rivals chose competition. That is why when melee players complained about edgeguarding either being nonexistent or being far too strict you told us all to just get gud. You never thought once to consider maybe every edgeguard taking 24 perfect interactions maybe, just MAYBE won't be fun for the average player. Melee edgeguarding is fun and rivals 2 edgeguarding is fucking boring. You refuse to admit melee did something correct that your game didn't, and that level of pride is why this game will fail. Your devs have already proven they can't succeed without blatantly copying melee, so refusing to do just that at this point is letting your game fail. Melee already got so many things wrong, let go of your pride and copy more aspects of melee so this game can actually be fun and therefore succeed. Remember, this is about prioritizing fun over competitiveness while still having a good level of both. That is why melee succeeded for 20 years. Because it was fun and just difficult enough to keep people interested for decades.
>>506666608schizo post
>>506665285The devs need to take a step back and watch Sakurai's videos. You can't just release a game that isn't fun for casuals and expect it to stick. Games don't work like that.
>>506667153>ITT anons who are experts in designing a platfighter that is both competitive an is fun for casuals
>>506666883I am right. Another thing is playstyles. The current best playstyle to utilize if you want to win is playing in the most uninteractive way possible. In a good fighting game the better player always wins. In this game whoever plays the lamest will win and that is driving a lot of people away. No one wants to play this game if their preferred playstyle isn't good enough to win. The only reason you don't see it much at a high level in tournaments because there must be some gentlemens agreement to not play that way to keep tournaments interesting. If all playstyles aren't equal then the game is poorly designed. This playstyle is most prevalent in 800-1150 elo which is where most players are anyways which is why so many people are quitting the game everyday. If the devs aren't going to tweak this game to make every playstyle equal the game is will die
>>506670565yeah sure
>>506667395Most open minded rivals 1 player>Everyone that isn't me is wrong. Everyone that doesn't think like me is wrong. Anyone that has an idea that isn't my idea is wrong. Anyone complaining is wrong. I will never listen to anyone. If the game dies it was all of the players fault. This game is fine because I think it's fine. No one else matters You're just like the devs lol
>>506670858Look at yourself.
>>506667153Anon you fail to grasp that the casuals can't fight sweats and that's all the online scene is over half the time even out of ranked. FFA is dead because the moment one person gets salty and leaves there is no more match, same with 2v2, and these modes died because the competitive scene barely ever played them to begin with. The casuals have no where to go when half the player base refuses to engage with any of the casual modes leaving them unplayable.The game didn't do anything wrong here outside of not having much more casual content to offer past arcade and what amounts to an amibo fight mode. The competitive scene killed this just like it killed S0 bay refusing to just play for actual fun
>>506671103What?
So CB is in an hour. Are we going to see cake play fleet again? Is orcane finally going to enter top 8?
>>506665074I didn't know anything about competitive melee until 2018 so prior to that whenever I played melee with friends or family we were always just mashing buttons at each other. So there was no getting mad at me because I was too good
>i'll just play one quick casual match...>8 sets laterevery time
>>506671206I'd play all FFA for the XP boost if it weren't for the fact that one person leaving means you need to search another two minutes. Why we can't just do 3 player FFA and have others join the next game I dunno.
>>506670858Most people in this community are terrible. They refuse to listen to feedback and pretend the game is fine despite the bleeding player numbers. This community is going to get this game killed.
>>506673074Yeah the devs are just like the rivals 1 player itt. They are their own worst enemy
>>506673074>>506673517Uh huh. Don't forget to mention you just want the game to succeed and have the best intentions in heart.
>>506674626What reason do you have to believe otherwise
https://www.reddit.com/r/RivalsOfAether/comments/1hgu9pj/trying_really_hard_to_give_this_game_the_chance/Uhh rivalsisters, our response...?
>>506678606this has over 100 comments already. move on.
Surely this game is bouncing back, right?
>>506678606Genuinely good thread, here's hoping the devs on the sub take notes
>>506679569I strongly agree with whiff lag and its something the devs are working on. But bringing marth as a "good design" lost me.
>>506678606Hey look it's all of the same things I type in these threads all the time but typed up by someone 10x better than any of us at the game. Maybe I DO know what I'm talking about who would've thought

>>506678606Good postHowever, I think people need to stop being overdramatic doomers
>>506682050The game is dying so being so over dramatic makes sense

>>506685259two kraggs?
>>506685574>>506685612>t.blind
i hate how the game never matches me with the same person twice in a row in ranked
You should be allowed to rematch people in ranked like you can in every fighting game ever
>>506687325actually a good suggestion for the fedback trackr.
>>506678606This game is doomed
>>506687803I think that was already suggested on the old one but I'll repost it later
so does zetter have unsafe moves or did they just forget to give them to him
wrastor players on the leftthe other top tiers on the right
>>506693976Perfect image for describing why no one plays wrastor
>>506693976>the RQ Lol
>>506696027Didn't mean to reply, pardon my autism.
Mang0 hates us
just wait a year for the game to potentially be good
>>506696232Mang0 is now a capeshit fan. Instead of teaming up and ruling the world together, our bickering has caused us both to lose to chinkslop... it's never been so over.
Nogh losing like this is just sad. Was it Marlon who said that Loxodont is good, actually?
What is it about Zetter and Ranno that make them so unfun and boring to fight?
>zeebee and switch are also both NA north eastCould the region be any more stacked?
>>506698631theyre most melee character like
>>506698527Everything they do is too safe
>finally have enough bucks for another skin>buy it>5 game losing streak as soon as i start using itah shit
starting to think zetter ustrong is dishonest as fuck

Expectations? Hopes? Dreams?
>>506707713I literally have no idea what this is going to be. Didnt they say they were working on another game
>>506708146They definitely don't have the capital for another spinoff
>>506707713Absa or Etalus announcement (coming in 3 months). Aka not enough to salvage the game.
>not a single ranno in top 8he's dead
>>506697893loxodont is good (if you completely outplay the opponent on at least 2 levels of yomi)
This is what happens when you adertise your game as a melee fighter and not a tournament fighter. R2 won't die but it is gonna be just like melee: Tournament and discord 90%, 9% ranked, 1% other online
>>506707713sunny in a santa hat, Sunny skin for Clairen or Fleet
>>506714401Your just saying shit and praying it makes sense to anyone reading
>>506715507Maybe next time stop listening to the people who only play a literal discord fighter with virtually no casual scene since everyone moved on to the later titles or PM like normal people. Choosing to follow the game that is already in shit creek when it comes to actual progressive numbers should have told you something.
>>506715729>pm>normal peoplelets be real now
>>506715810They are more normal than melee players, always have been.
Guys what the fuck is a tournament fighter
>>506714401>Won't dieOffbrand had to close their events division already. If the playercount continues to decline, EoS is definitely a possibility.
>>506716586The guy your replying to has a much different definition of dead than you and I
I thought Rivals was classified as a platform fighter
>>506716586youre smoking crack if you think the game is gonna close before the road map is even half done
>>506716586See you don't see to get that the numbers are at the stable portion this always ends up at, that and the road map and everything else have been long since funded from the start. Off brand has little to do with the actual future of the content for the game as all of that was already paid for
I think Wrastor SUCKS. No I don't care how big you think your brain is for playing him, he's bad and you're bad.
>>506718895playing wrastor is an exercise in frustration

why didnt rivals 1 get shut down if it had less players than rivals 2 does
Watching Ranno get raped by Zetterburn makes me feel better about losing this MU all day...

>>506719816It was funny watching Spargo go up against Zetterburns as Clairen, she has to work so much harder for scraps. Zetterburn just confirms half of his stray hits into whatever he wants.

>>506720493die
>more zetter mirrorsyawn
>devs prioritize gameplay "balance">can't even do that rightlol
vile
What the fuck is the entire top 8 of Coinbox actually Zetter? I thought you guys were joking. Get this flaming lion outta here.
>>506721243empowered ustrong is like in slow motion
as much as i don't like the idea of one character being dominant, i'd rather it be zetterburn than any other character. i at least enjoy playing against him.
>they turn on cody's mic just in time to hear him seethe
i hate fighting almost every matchup in this gamethink i might just hate the game

Welp, all chips on Fors. If I watch one more Zetter mirror I will actually fall asleep
Why's this guy streaming shirtless and why's this tranny voice commentating?
>>506724826it's actually a biological womanshocking i know
>>506724826She's just fat, it makes her voice husky. Look at her Discord pfp as it pops up on screen.
>>506725018>>506725172[x] doubt
>>506725405you'd think with how obsessed with trannies this site is, people would be better at actually identifying them
>>506725462>obsessedSorry, bro, everyone who plays this game is a she/her pretender. I swear to got I'm not one of the newfags who uses "tranny" every other word, it's just literally true here. With the prevalence of trannies in this game especially, I refuse to believe this is actually a girl.
this game went from fleet mirror matches in top 8 to zetter mirror matches in top 8.
>>506725978the fleet mirrors were just cake and sol, whereas the zetter mirrors are everyone vs. everyone

mom...dad...im a loxodont player...
>>506731278jab ftilt dtilt
do you think I should invest in loxodont stocks or will he foreverially be a low tier party character
>play for about an hour using the free loxo skin>barely a level in the battle passthey werent lying about slowing down the progress huh
>>506732867Sell. Pretty sure he's low tier by design. That hit to his charged air tusk was so insanely bizarre it's the only logical thing to think.
ive never experience true rage until i played this game. this game is genuinely garbage. it makes sense rivals 1 players are fine with it, because they dont know what a good game is, theyve never played one. they wouldnt know a good game if it smacked them across the face. that is why all of these issues made it past 8 months worth of playtesters, they simply didnt know any better
>>506679948Melee marth is better designed than any Rival 2 character.
https://x.com/danfornace/status/1869611277510963632
why does lox lose all three charges when the opponent parries the slowest most predictable up special in the game?
>>506742561It's like that for any character.
>>506743127really? fleet loses her arrows? i didn't know that!
>>506743196That's a completely different mechanic. Imagine if Eliana lost her mech every time she got her neutral rocket parried.
>>506743427
>>506743565
>>506679948>But bringing marth as a "good design" lost me.Marth is indeed better designed than any Rivals 2 character. His strengths are huge and his weaknesses are huge. That's good design. Even better because it was all a fucking accident. Dan tried on purpose to replicate this and he failed. 10 times.
>>506738694>>506743872does marth's uthrow chaingrab count as a strike against him, or is it the spacies' fault for being submissive and chaingrabbable?
>>506744218>is it the spacies' fault for being submissive and chaingrabbable?This one.
So realistically, they have server bills to play, new players are not likely to come since they already burnt the release hype factor and they said they were going to work on DLC for free.So the only income stream is the skin shop purchases from the dedicated playerbase, is this really sustainable? Did Dan fell for the "we want to give you more money" meme?
>>506749719>new players are not likely to comeI disagree. Some people are waiting for game to get good and decide on what mechanics it wants to have to be fun. Some people are interested in SP and casual stuff only. Some people quit after getting rekt early and are waiting for tutorials. Workshop(?) update could also bring new people if there's interesting bing bing wahoo characters to battle against Ronald MCDonald.If you look at the stats, the game is constantly around #400 top sellers. That's quite good statistic imo.
Zetterburn bros keep winning

They just announced Fleet 2!!!
Doomposter here. Dan being Santa is actually kinda kino.
there's something very soulful about a fighting game's creator dressing up as santa and shitposting from his... plushie room....WOW FOUR WHOLE PRESENTS
just got here, the streams been going for 43 minutes. no new character?

I thought twitch was hentai?

>>506786554It literally just began. The rest was just pre-stream nothing waiting room. Just skin announcements it seems, unless he throws a curveball and tells us what the next character is (because hopefully Absa is getting a skin)
why is the last box so big
>inb4 maskless slop #69
>Forsburn
>last skin>there's still a big boxdon't rip my foreskin like this danta you fucking faggot
Dan shitposting as Santa is pretty good. I'd give him a fist bump if I ever saw him in real life.
this is so fucking scuffed, i love it
>>506787170what do you mean, it's santa. Why are you acting like santa isn't real
this characters 3d animations look so wonky
>Game of Thrones PV/revealkino>Dan Santakino>New character is the fucking bearcringeThanks I hate it. Where's Absa, Dan?
The combos in the trailers are always sick
It's over.
>another heavyweight I will struggle to fight againstt-thanks Dan
>>506787468that's cause it's being played like R1, and not like melee. Shields are the mistake
Is anyone excited? I'm not.

>>506788747I dont fucking care. I havent played since fleet got nerfed.
why is he russian instead of norwegian or icelandic or something like the harbor is actually based on i hate americans
>>506788516>Trusting art over actual common senseI don't see you questioning why Olympia or everyone else who already had art from day one weren't the character released. Art doesn't mean shit, you don't see clairen getting any new skin and she also go new christmas art for a pfp>Not hinted anywhereretard it's winter, literally the only hint you needed is that dan said santa and it's the season that snow exists
>>506788747I'm going to try to get a refund on Steam.
>>506787678I'm not. I wanted Absa not this bear... >>506788810fleet get buffed a day ago?
>>506788516he was hinted in the game files and tons of images of his 3D model were leaked like a month before this revealstill, his trailer shows Absa alongside characters that are in the game already, hinting that Absa probably was planned for release first
>>506788918Yeah but shes still mid
Putting absa in as a tabletop piece during the trailer was such a fuck you lol.
>>506788851>I don't see you questioning why Olympia or everyone else who already had art from day one weren't the character released.Oh, that one's easy. I'll clue you in. None of the other characters that have had avatars in the game since launch had any hints in any of the official art released on the Twitter. Hope this clears things up for you!
>>506787678>dawd is backFUCKK OOOFFFFFFF
>>506788845Since when was the harbor fucking Norwegian or Icelandic? That shit was literally nothing but a stage surrounded by ice, shit isn't even on the map so where the fuck are you getting the information that it was more than artic max
So who could these other three be?
>>506787889>>506788516you got trolled so hard stay mad rofl
>>506789086Anon art is not a hint, you are retarded>>506789205Think the elements anon, the entire theme of the game, which of the cast fits summer most, allow me to clue you: Fall is Sylvanos
>>506789205>absa is coming on in the summerl0l
>>506789205I want ori and olympia
>>506787678>almost a third of the characters are heaviesim not
>>506789205ngl I kinda want them to reveal an entirely new character never seen before, that'd be cool
>>506789130nowhere in Russia looks like that, nowhere populated at least
Amaterasu
>>506788951>still, his trailer shows Absa alongside characters that are in the game already, hinting that Absa probably was planned for release firstWas the Rivals release date delayed? I wonder if Absa was supposed to be the "Fall" character released in 2024 (halloween, goat, baphomet), but then they decided not to release Absa because releasing a brand new character right after release is kinda stupid, and then the timing "forced" them to release a more thematic character for the season. I also wonder if this means that Absa wont release until Fall of 2025.
>>506789431>oriMight wanna not think crossover ones anytime soon
>>506789693I can guarantee you the order of character releases are planned for at least the first four, probably for the next two years if we're being real
>>506789371>looking at what the official Twitter shows is not a hint, even though Absa is the only character not currently in the game that has ever been featured on the Twitter>you're a retard if you view possible clues as cluesWhy would looking at things logically make someone retarded? Care to explain?
>>506789569This looks like fucking nowhere, literally the only indication for ANYWHERE is that there is a town/living space on the side and these are wooden homes. Again, Where did you get that the idea it was more than artic? Russia is also associated with the cold. Iceland is 90% grass and warm areas most of the year
>>506789817>I can guarantee you the order of character releases are planned for at least the first four, probably for the next two years if we're being realThen this confirms that Rivals of Aether's delayed release forced them to skip the originally planned Absa. >they already had the Christmas art drawn and lined up, had to use it, didn't care that Absa cookie was in it despite there being no Absa>Etalus release trailer features Absa, despite Absa not being in the game yetRivals of Aether 2 was not released on schedule. Absa was supposed to be the character for Fall 2024, but this release window was not met, so they skipped it and are having Etalus be the first character released.
Santa putting Redditors on blast
>>506789693makes tons of sense if they made most of the art months beforehand. the absa cookie wasn't a mistake, they planned to release her first and scrapped it last minute
>>506790156greenland looks like that
>>506789943>clues>Le artSo I guess if I see any character designer still working for Rivals currently and they do any cast member I should expect something for that character soon? She is part of the brand anon, literally one of the original cast. Hell by that logic I should be expecting cookie skins currently because that is what the art was.When you have a precedent, then something is a clue, there no such thing for art on it's own suddenly predicting the next thing about rivals 2
>devswhat if we soft-confirmed a character everyone is waiting for>this threadCONSPIRACY THEORY
>>506790483Yeah, it makes more sense that the game was released late and that all the assets were made well ahead of time, because of course they were. The shitposting anon in this thread calling people retarded for expecting Absa is the actual retard. He cannot into pattern recognition, context clues, or logic.
great another uninteractive combo setup rushdown character
>>506790628https://files.catbox.moe/8pkc38.pngGreenland is cold but not artic looking cold, also, relative to Russia, they have less polar bears
>>506790719Anon, when you feel the need to start making facetious extremist arguments that do not at all represent the party you are arguing against, you are admitting defeat. Absa has been featured in official art, and she was featured in the official trailer for Etalus. She is the only character not currently in the game that is depicted anywhere, and she was depicted twice, which is more than even Etalus. She was clearly intended to have been released before Etalus.
ibdw was dropped by his sponsor (again)
>>506790735>soft-confirmedcept they didn't, you got Elatus. You can't confirm someone already known to appear because the game itself already advertises her and we know she's gonna return. You just don't know when. You assumed that in the season of the cold, a time associated with snow that they wouldn't release the only SNOW related character?>>506791108Anon, when you fail to use common sense in a game about elements, the fault is all your own.You're stupid
>>506791270Why?
>>506791270I'm starting to feel bad for him
>>506791108>Absa has been featured in official art, and she was featured in the official trailer for Etalus. She is the only character not currently in the game that is depicted anywhere, and she was depicted twice, which is more than even Etalus. She was clearly intended to have been released before Etalus.Wow, it's as if she was part of the original game and was originally the final Rivals original character before they left early access and there for a staple of the cast that was always gonna be back. Truly a big shock that she's entirely in the game already, what a mystery that they would advertise a character that was already part of the cast and was confirmed even before release to eventually return
>>506791391he a charisma vacuum
>>506791287>shitposting anon (((You))) are the only person who cannot into logic or cause and effect>keep calling people retarded for using logic>literally cannot form *any* argument whatsoever, so he begins making completely ridiculous facetious extremist arguments, none of which are actually being made, and he begins arguing against those points insteadAnon, you lost. You have no argument. You concession has been accepted.Absa was clearly intended to have been released before Etalus. I have offered supporting evidence. You have offered nothing. All you've done is make facetious extremist arguments on the behalf of the party you're arguing against (because you can't argue against the actual point being made) and call people retarded for using evidence and context clues to arrive at a logical conclusion.
>go take a shit>come back>He's still going I imagine and he has said literally nothing of value for all that time too? Literally how?
>>506791616>Wow, it's as if she was part of the original gameOkay little shitposter, then why is Absa the *only* character that has been depicted in official post-release artwork? Etalus doesn't count in this argument because he's been confirmed to be released next. There is *no other* character that has been depicted in official Rivals of Aether media that is not currently in the game, and Absa was even depicted in the Etalus reveal.If you cannot reply to this post without making a completely retarded misrepresentation, you have lost.
>>506791797>You lostcept no, you retards are the only ones who assumed the one character about snow wasn't gonna be first.You are an idiot.>. I have offered supporting evidence. You have offered nothing. What evidence, art? Again, when has that EVER determined what's coming next for this game? Hell you logic failed from a fact I already brought up: She has been in since day one right with him. Her stage is here, her pfps are here, more than one in fact, yet she's still not in. She's coming, this was not a question, but she was never going to be the first.You logical fails because from the start she has always been part of this game, you keep saying she was meant to be first, I'm sure the devs would tell you otherwise as Dan says they've been working on them over this whole time to begin with, if she were gonna be first she would have been first. She wasn't because she wasn't gonna be to begin with, Elatus was.
>>506792327>anon spent 2+ paragraphs saying nothing>he can't even defend the point he is making>nor can he logically attack the point that is being made against himI accept your concession, tiny little shitposter. You are objectively wrong.
Every character should get to do tilts out of dashes like Wrastor can.
wtf are you schizos even arguing about, absa is obviously going to be in the game
so is anything actually releasing today?
wifi chuds... its over....
>>506792496Absa was clearly intended to have been in the game before Etalus. Anon is calling people retarded for noticing this. He cannot explain why people are retarded, nor can he explain why this logical conclusion is wrong, he just keeps screaming "retard".
>>506792670there's not enough information to determine this either way, you're both retarded
Hes finally in. I couldn't be happier.
>>506792948grats anon
>>506792560meim releasing myself from this shitty game
>>506679948Marth is much less obnoxious to fight than Clairen even if you're a spacey that gets chain grabbed to death. Even with all of his bullshit, it still feels like there's windows to punish him, and he really can't combo all characters equally. I genuinely have more fun fighting him than Fox or Falco who are the epitome of having too much safe bullshit, but are somewhat redeemed by being exploitable in disadvantage.
>>506792026>Okay little shitposter, then why is Absa the *only* character that has been depicted in official post-release artwork? Etalus doesn't count in this argument because he's been confirmed to be released next. There is *no other* character that has been depicted in official Rivals of Aether media that is not currently in the game, and Absa was even depicted in the Etalus reveal.she hasn't, all of the cast, new and old got new work in pfps to begin with. The art as you could guess is for pfps, ya know those things that contain EVERYONE to date, playable or not. And even now it's in the shop as an option: doesn't means she was any closer to release: hell they have nearly the same art count in that pfp library, and some of those are new and not recycled from creatures emotes.Art doesn't indicate anything in this game, hasn't to date and won't for the future. For 2: let's go over what art in this game is for pfps, nothing more, and pfps don't mean anything. But by the logic you give those skins announced should have had a maypul skin since she was also in the cookie set. Not her, Zetter or Ranno got a new skin: the fact that your basis was art and not one of the cast in that art that are in game are getting anything should have probably told you something and clued you in on the fact art doesn't suddenly hit or foretell shit here. The seasons do as this game follows monthly and seasonal themes for the cast and what is coming during the month
jesus christ get a room you two
>cant tilt out of a dash unless you wavedash>wavedashing takes 6 billion frames so theres a lot of scenarios where you just cant tilt someone out of a dash because it would take too long to do the thing that allows your tilt to come outgarbage game design. at least l cancelling actually made you faster.
>>506793840Learn to babydash, meleefag. Or is it too hard for you?
>>506792480>Can't defenedI did defend it, you choose not to listen because you ended up wrong already>>506792560No, we are getting new skins for Fors, orcane, and Kragg for the rest of this month. 1-2 weeks if something isn't dropped on saturday/sunday. It may be the prehistoric(?) skin shown in the elatus trailer but it is likely santa or an elf
>Clairen and Olympia most played characters in rivals 1>add the least played character first.I actually do not understand what Dan's thinking.
>>506792815>Absa is the only character not currently in the game that has ever been depicted anywhere officially>she was depicted twice>...actually, here's Etalus instead >(he has not been depicted anywhere until his release trailer)>Anon: retard retard retard retard retard>Anon 2: retard retard retard retard retardRivalstrannies are not very smart, are they?
>>506794106Legacy characters first, new ones second>Fleet and loxodontRivals made, fan made ones will come in year 2 since they came last to begin with and weren't originally made by dan Any possibly because they may get design updates and dan is likely still talking to those creators about new moves and animations
>>506793773>tiny little shitposter continues arguing against points no one made>he cannot and will not address any point that has actually been made>he keeps inventing made up points no one made and is arguing against those insteadYou're really not helping your case.
>>506794202>only character who we have seen concept art of>only character devs have confirmed has been delayed to balance him correctly>only character who has been hinted directly with "Winter is comming" after asked when's a new character commingMeleeturds are only good at stinking up the threads
>>506794431Your retardation was addressed, you trusted art over common sense and basic theming and now seethe like a retard
>>506793436I think the biggest difference between Marth and Clairen is just how obnoxious Clairen is to edge guard. Marth is always gambling with his life when he's recovering low while clairen is just laughing to the bank.
>>506794645>>506794020Is the melee boogey man in the room with us now?
>>506794735Yeah, I also despise this aspect of Clairen. Impossible to edgeguard her.
>>506794817Take a shower
>>506794690My points make so much sense that you wont even argue against them, you keep making up shit no one is saying and arguing against that instead. That's how much you lost. That's how much of a tiny little shitposter you are.
>>506794020babydashing consistently is not possible on any existing controller. the controller cant possibly be good enough to justify something as basic as tilting out of a dash to be purely dependent on how good your control stick is.
When Dan eventually reveals that Absa was planned to be released before Etalus, I'm going to reply to every retard in this thread with a video clip, and I'm going to do it every single day for years.
>>506795079When are you guys going to learn the people who cant keep melee out of their mouth never have any idea about what theyre talking about
>>506794915Your point clearly don't given >>506794645 and what actually happened, Why do you fail to grasp that if you were right absa would be here? You think that they suddenly finished her and then pushed her back to a whole season when dan has explained more than once of what they plan has been and how they have planned it out since release?The plan didn't change, Elatus was gonna be first by the time dan actually announce the road map. He already showed what the plan is by the end of stream too showing you the order so you stop asking stupid questions
>>506793840Your options (if you're not wrastor) are learning the exact moment you transition from dash to a run and canceling it with a crouch, Pivoting, and baby dashing. Learning the first on your character is totally doable and a real game changer while the latter two are more about having a good controller IMO which sucks. I have a controller that lets me pivot every time on the left, but doesn't register on the right half the time. Gonna have to buy a new one after Christmas.
I predict this as either February's pass or January since Dan already said Elatus gets a skin but that he'd still be releasing after it came out.
>>506795485>there is still no argumentVery sad that you can't muster up anything at all other than "disproving" arguments that no one made.
>>506795079>babydashing consistently is not possible on any existing controllerGit gud
>>506789693Why wouldn't Absa release in the Spring?April Showers, etc.
>>506795849uUUUuu meleeturd is seething>>506795963Summer skin
>>506796070I accept your final whimpering concession.
>>506795860Get gud doesn't apply here. In platfighters you can literally be an execution god but fail to do certain inputs because your controller isn't perfect. Do you think IBDW would be half as good as he is in melee if he didn't have a cheating remote that let him jump with z? No. Good players need good controllers to enhance their potential.
>>506795849Disprove my actual point then, what evidence did you have beyond one art piece when a plan was already stated to exist? You are speculating shit with the evidence of 'well s-she appeared in a picture' when that was contested with her already being in art like elatus and being a core member and one of the prime 2 to have art in game currently, sylvannos and elliana have less and are technically the first 2 actual DLC rivals; go ahead. Explain where the evidence is. If all you have is a single picture that isn't evidence, it's barely a clue or reason.You were retarded for missing the entire theme of the season and still haven't actually answer my question about the fact that if the art mattered, how come those featured got nothing during stream?
Will Absa be more or less SEXO than Maypul?
>heh... GET GUD>t. someone who cannot babydash consistentlywhy does this happen?
>>506796442Maypul is top sexo
>>506796442She's more humanoid so you'll probably not like her as much. Absa is more for Clairen and Fleet enjoyers.
>>506795860im sorry, whats your rating again? i need to know who im talking to.
>They still haven't started restocking the clairen plashesOlympia it is
>>506796265What chinese turd are you playing with?>>506796265Yet 1f BD in ROA was bnb for me to start anything with Clairen. Sure, am not perfect at it, but executing it correctly brings good joy.
>>506796405>Disprove my actual point thenPoor tiny little shitposter....I provided the evidence for my logical conclusion, and all you've done is scream "retard retard retard" while making completely ridiculous facetious extremist arguments that no one made other than yourself, and you are arguing against those, not anything that I said. You're not making any point, you're shitposting. You're not trying to be logical, you're not even trying to interface with what is actually happening. You're inventing your own shit to argue against. You're even still just saying "retard retard retard", and now you're asking me to "disprove your point"... like what even is your point? You're not making a point. You're inventing your own arguments and arguing against them. How does that have anything to do with me? If I am being extremely generous (and I mean extremely generous), your """point""" is that Etalus got into the game before Absa, which is just true, but that being true does not say anything about the point that I have been making (which you have been ignoring in favor of your own invented arguments)
>>506797109I'm playing with a Nintendo gamecube controller that's older than (You).

>>506797429check the silhouettes >>506789205#2 is definitely Absa.
when are we holding thread brackets?
>>506797671Seriously when will this general get its own GoMaD?
>>506797151Anon, your logic was she appears in one new picture, my evidence is that it is winter, he's the snow character, the plan already existed, and he was already being talked about from the start, as the other guy pointed out: He already had a concept design done: https://x.com/StudiosofAether/status/1478129136937799680?s=20You have the most thin version of evidence here and still won't answer my question: The art you claim as your evidence has 3 other characters: the very stream we watched had NONE of them get any of the costumes and the character to come was Elatus. Nothing on that image had anything to do with what went down meaning your evidence had literally even less weight.You have failed to show when art has predicted anything to come in game, failed to actually support your point with more the speculation based one 1 art piece, and still can't answer a single question about your evidence and what surrounds it only defending it by continuing to say 'but she was in the art and it was new' which isn't an argument or piece of evidence as I've already said she and Elatus have always had art in the game, a few new pieces even but that art is for pfps and not actually having any real context to gameplay.Answer even one question, if your answer loops back to the art you have failed
>>506797583It does look like her. I'd also speculate that fall is the workshop grappler ant or artemis.
>>506797671This thread can't even play casual matches together, for whatever reason
>>506798220Anon, he's priority. Like no joke, he's even in the trailer. Rivals original cast first, then new cast members/workshop winners. Ant is year 3 to taking a spot of year 2

https://x.com/RuberCuber/status/1818313796143960487We can't get it as a skin, but Clairen is also a better hammer user than Loxodont.
>>506798495Oh how I wish he would come next, but I think that Absa is to come out as the 2nd returning character this year.
>>506798187>3 more paragraphs of absolutely nothing>he makes demands, without providing>all he's managed to do is scream "retard retard retard"For real this time, I accept your concession, tiny little illogical shitposter who is incapable of arguing against things that people actually say.
>>506798981Knowing all of this, imagine trying to cancel your dash with a crouch, pivoting, and then babydashing ALL just to get your character to turn around and tilt out of a dash. Imagine that, on buffered inputs. This game is poorly designed.
>>506799210meleeturd, I can smell you! Go take a shit and wash yourself!
>>506799118It's mostly in order of release: Absa and Elatus came together and Elliana and Sylavnnos came together after them. Elliana stands a chance at getting replaced due to what her kit is
>>506799210>Still can't disprove a single point>Not even oneA shame you are retarded. I provide literal evidence and even the concept that already existed long before now. You provide,...nothing? Amazing how your entire speculation was founded on an art piece while mine is founded on the theme of the season, the plan, concept art that was ALREADY long since shown and done.Let me clue you in on something: Absa currently has no released concept art. Elatus was coming before her from day one. The fact you still want to believe other wise despite common sense and actual evidence telling you otherwise is beyond me but I'm aware delusion runs deep in someone who though a cookie art that is used for pfps meant anything when no other art used to date did. You gotta learn to accept reality and stop being a retard and even just admit when you were flat out wrong
the general is worse than the gameyou hate to see it
>>506799964You're being baited for (you)s, anon
>>506800064shut up and pick someone to argue with
kek he's already getting dropped
>>506800240we already talked about this nonny
>>506800162No, I'm pretty sure I'm the person being baited for (You)s. This guy can't even reply to a conversation.
>>506800162Keeps the general alive
https://aetherstudios.com/news/rivals-workshop-character-contest-winner-revealed/The possible Year 3 characters for your aid, ant is confirmed as she was the winner but, if dan isn't doing any dungeons or new rivals, the runner ups have a chance to take those 3 slots behind her
>>506798981Buffer only makes sense in input-based fighting games, so that you can buffer a qcf or whatever. Buffer does not make any sense in a game where every input is just direction + button and not actually a fighting game motion.
so this shit is dead now right? just as I predicted, melee wins again
>>506800792As per usual
>>506800240grim innit
>>506800792its the middle of the dayall the jobnorms are jobbing
>>506797982realistically only one person has to step up and TO (which boils down to making the challonge and handling check-ins)
>>506800792You can launch the game at any hour of the day and find different opponents of a similar skill level in seconds, which does not qualify as "dead" no matter your definition.I actually find it annoying that I can't match with the same people consistently. I want to run back a lot of ranked sets, but sadly you can only rematch in casuals.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!
>>506800240Cody KWAB
>>506789612Capcom pls do this
>>506808031Does that mean they're going to go with chest fluff design over boobies?
>>506808264I dunno
>>506808264That thing is as close as you are getting to see whatever her new design is since she had no prerelease concepts done as far as actually shown work goes. I'm more intrested in character 3 simply because I wonder if they will do an Ayala skin for her on release or after a few months and I'm questioning how it's gonna work since the animations for the cock pit can't be shared. Makes me wonder if Dan is going to natively include both on release one with the default skins given being normal Elliana and the second being an Ayala variant with separate animations cause she sure as hell ain't getting a slot.
>>506811075I doubt it. There's no bradshaw skin for wrastor.
>>506811330Bradshaw is a late game Wrastor skin, probabaly one of many that are not released like american wrastor. Bradshaw is also pretty even with Wrastor in overall body so him getting a skin is more than likely since he's no real drastic changes like Ayala was.Only reason he doesn't have one now is Wrastor doesn't have tons of skins as is, modeling Bradshaw over actual current new skins is probably as low as it was with Rival 1 where it ended up being a bonus when the game was 100% done.
If you main Wrastor, you are in fact probably gay
>>506812223i am BI so i main Maypul and Wrastor
>>506808031It should have been her first. We have enough fat gimmicky faggots already.
>>506812429just wait 6 months

Reminder: Loxodont killed him because Loxo is a jealous fat as who knew he couldn't have taken him in a fight. Redburn would have washed that fraud
>>506813570Why are you lying? Only Maypul & Elliana don't because they are borderline actual animals just standing up.Clairen has them and Absa is implied to by her posture, she just holds books infront of them
>>506813592is that zetter's dad? Hes hot.
>>506812638I'm so glad Rivals 2 doesn't look like this homoerotic shit.
>>506812223>bird character>loves cockto be expected
>>506813161If you watch the trailer (specifically the clip with Kragg in it), you can see that Etalus actually moves at a glacial pace.
its funny just last night i was looking over the old rivals roster to see who i might most like to see brought over first and i decided on etalus, as someone that never played rivals i and only occassionly watched it before melee streams
>>506817249he just seems like the most interesting choicemore heavies good
>>506813592>loxodont sneak attacks renburn>succeeds>clairen sneak attacks lox>epic failsskill diff
>>506814927That's not what I meant. Him sliding on ice can make him cover the stage as fast as maypul running. The best clip you see it is the start of maypul one.
>if you bind smash attack to a button it ALWAYS is a smash attack when you input it, essentially giving you free perfect pivots with 0 execution and removing accidental dash attacks entirely>can't do this with tiltsFor what purpose?
>>506818682tilts are powerful
Kragg fair
>>506817491>snuck an old man>had to fight a cyborg that was 99% machineSkill issue on loxo, a fraud who can’t fight
Ok the gamecube remote is the biggest turd on the fucking planet and I say this with 10+ years of sunk cost into it. I literally plugged in a madcatz 360 knock off controller that's half working and I'm able to perfect pivot in either direction 30 times in a row and have Neo tier movement.

>>506811330>>506811770someday™
>>506813840The rivals character designers genuinely feel threatened by the female form and fleet is proof of that. It reminds me of the female rift apart character.
>>506851426Fleet literally has tits, what are you on about? her official sheet even shows them
>>506851536>xhe calls those titslol
>>506851775>small boobs suddenly don't exist
>>506851927Those are not female small boobs. That is a man's chest. You have never seen a woman in real life if you think that form is female.
>>506851978>man's chestMy boy, what man's chest protrudes like that? No man with that little muscle mass has protruding pecs. As someone who both works with, talks to and has MET several women. Fleet is literally the average person you see walking down the street.
>>506852174There is a difference between a female chest and a male chest. Anyone that studies anatomy would think fleet is male. She even has male arms and male shoulders.

Wrastor's slip stream just needs to not be a Falco laser. I KNOW I KNOW. It's hecking your game culture or whatever. Here's the thing. It's terrible game design. Nobody liked melee Falco laser so there was no reason for you to control c it and then power creep it. Just remove the fucking hitstun on it and make it vanilla where you can just activate your speed buff on command for all I fucking care. The stun on it is the most cancerous aspect.
>>506864152>falco laser that you can only use every 3 secondshuh?
>>506865917It's way more plus than Falco's and it's attached to a fast character with 4 jumps who also has a dangerous throw game. Falco hitting you with a laser grab did like 20% max. Meanwhile Wrastor slip stream into grab can just fucking kill you.
>>506800240quick run down?

>>506868527>no drama they just don't want to pay for an esports guySad but also funny, glad I never tried to be a professional esport player.
>>506864152I really hate how it just confirms into everything because there's no lag. I can respect Falco laser because it has a reasonable amount of startup and you still have to land to do anything if it hits. Wrastor's tornado just comes out instantly, there's no commitment, and you can do whatever the fuck you want if it hits (which it will, because it comes out instantly). It just encourages degenerate behavior.
Everyone is taunting me online tonight. However, everyone who has taunted me has lost the set.

Etalus will actually kill the game.
>>506929823the game is dead without whatever that is. melee wins again
its too bad leffen already gave up on competing in rivals i really wanted to watch him lose to an etalus in tournament
is there a way to make a 0.0005% of a press on the L not count as pressing L? I used to complain here about accidental air dodges and I;ve figured out barely touching the L button would cause this due to how I use the controller. How do I get the game to not count L presses unless I press it down at least 70% to counter this? As of right now I can literally breathe on the L button and the game would count it as a press.
>>506929823I predict Etalus will be what Kragg players pretend their character is, a gimmicky heavy that's easily beaten once you understand him. I think the universal system mechanics will be the polar opposite of what Etalus wants with shit like crouch canceling and the giant stages. Imagine he tries to use that slide for anything other than movement. That shit is gonna be floorfucked until 300% where it will finally knock down only to be amsah teched till 900%. Also none of his aerials strike me as being threatening vs someone holding down.
zetterburns fireball and grab are genuinely overtuned. if you land a fireball ever no matter where your opponent is you can always get a grab off it which leads into his ovetuned throws. i just played against this guy whos entire gameplan was to hit you with a fireball and get a grab off it and do literally nothing else and won. you can parry the fireball pretty easily but if he plays passive enough and use his fireballs carefully you can easily beat people without ever using a different move because fireball into grab is that strong
>>506934652True. Also the good zetters will use his fireball in instances where you can't parry like in the air or hitting your landing and your whiffs. Also they can use it at close range where trying to parry it is much more risky. Also they can use it as area denial and throw fireballs above your character preventing you from jumping or moving to a platform without getting hit. Also why the fuck does it have a close range melee hitbox on top of the fireball? I get "lol, he's PM wolf" but how about just not doing that and making your own character? I think they forgot that this game isn't Rivals 1 where we have a 1 frame god parry.
>>506935641I'm pretty sure the P+ devs got rid of that shit anyways so even PM players/devs knew it was bullshit
>>506934652It depends on your character, but I feel like anyone with a projectile can out-camp him while parrying his fireballs, and it isn't too terrible... but it's still terrible. But yet, I think his fireball should be a slightly higher commitment because it's too easy for him to throw it out in relatively close range and be actionable regardless of what the opponent does.>parried itHe just blocks it>blocked itHe just grabs you>hit by itEnjoy your grab / ustrongLike it already fulfills the biggest criteria for a good projectile: being slow, so you can use to apply pressure in a dynamic way. It doesn't need to be so fucking safe on top of that.
>>506943140>>parried it>He just blocks ityou can instantly act out of a successful parry, it's not meant to be a free punish because it's a projectile but you have a whole bunch of leverage to get something out of it if he's close
>>506931518wtf is he even going to compete in, if anything>meleehe's just going to go back to bitching about being stuck in europe, and playing competitive melee as a career does not seem financially realistic these days. even top players are repeatedly getting dropped by sponsors. only mang0, plup, and amsa have consistent sponsorship. and if it's anything like the AoE2 scene, red bull isn't in it for the money.>strivearcsys balances their game like it's an alpha.>tekkendoes he even play tekken?>sf6only fighting game that seems to be competitively healthy at the moment, but i don't know if leffen can compete it in it.
>>506931518Did Leffeb say he's done competing? I know for a fact he's a playtester giving feedback now.
>>506945229nta, but sometimes playtester and competing are mutually exclusive
>>506944131Leffen doesn't like sf6
>>506943140I feel like his fireballs were much slower in Rivals 1, but I could be wrong
Dunno if it's that i can't find a character i enjoy or if it's just online being 90% Zetterburn that's driving me away from the game.>dair shine dair shine dair shine into any number of kill confirms. boom, dead at 80.This shit isn't fun or engaging man
Doubles is fun. I feel like they should market it and highlight it more. Might be a good way to get casuals in.
>>506952302so is FFA, but the online system makes it impossible to play consistently
>>506946027He did like sf6. He's just a complete shitter there so he doesn't play it. He went 0-6 at a south Africa invitational
>>506956884He played in the game because of the money, not because he liked it. Leffen has even said on stream that he thinks that people only play SF6 due to IP loyalty and not it's gameplay.
>>506958756>He played in the game because of the money, not because he liked it.So why did he stop playing it? Because he sucked ass at the game, right?
>>506951342Current Zetterburn is a clear example of why "arbitrary" execution barriers are good>fox wants to drill shine you>dair, L-cancel, shine, jump, wavedash out of 3f jumpsquat>zetter wants to dair shine you>dair, shine, jump, wavedash with reduction execution barrierGetting real tired of dair being safe to approach with

wah wah wah Why game no be smash
RoA2 is at 1500 players right nowSF6 is at 7000 players right nowIs that a good ratio for indie platfighter?
>>506962356Yeah? The problem is sf6 is way older than roa2 is.
>>506962356Don't be disengenuous. SF6 gets up to 26k during peak jap hours. Rivals 2 doesn't even reach 2k players anymore.
>>506963128SF6 only came out last year, for a major fighting game it's basically in it's prime. Kekken 8 came out much more recently and it's at 8000, not THAT much more. And it just got FF16 guy.
If you were Dan Fornace would you just close the studio and kill yourself at this point?
>>506963635I wouldn't have made a Platform Fighter for starters. Shooters are where it's at.

I'm 100% confident Wrastor is the least played character in the game, and it's because he just doesn't feel good to play with his landing lag even if he's objectively very strong.
>>506961458Sorry for wanting the game to be good :(
>>506963635>stable at 1.6k playersnot bad at all for a fighting game from an indie developer with only one, niche game to their name

>>506965403Okay go and make your own game, kek
Marlon is known for picking characters he thinks needs to be nerfed, but do you think he'd be open to employing certain tactics that need to be nerfed? Next time he goes live I'm gonna try to persuade him to always play on the giant stages and platform camp with Wrastor. Dan and the retarded devs need to fucking know how terribly designed these stages are.

I wish I could travel 2 years into the future and document how dead roa2 becomes just so I can come back to present day to rub it in all of the roa players face itt
>>506962356it's decent considering that Rivals of Aether is the Pepsi of platform fighters - a subgenre that is even less popular than its underperforming parent genre. however, you shouldn't misrepresent SF6's success; it's extremely popular in japan as >>506963321 stated. on the other hand, SF is THE definitive fighting game IP, so it's a bit like comparing RoA to Smash. RoA2 could be a literal perfect game that manifested your 10/10 dream girl when you get to diamond, and it would still be outsold and outlived by Smash because Smash is Smash. who knows how the game will perform in the long-term, but it'll probably be okay because we have Rivals 1 as precedent.i'm going to be real here: i fucking despise chartfags, and it has nothing to do with this game. despite their obsession with player retention metrics, they're completely blind to the fact that these metrics do not represent any sane individual's experience playing a fucking video game. no one gets on elden ring and says:>uh oh, there's only 31,000 players playing today, that's a negative 0.65% decrease from last month's average, it's literally over...they just turn on the video game and decide to play. and if they're playing multiplayer and can't find activity, it's because fromsoft designed a multiplayer system that makes it impossible to find players. you know what game it's possible to find players in, despite having 1/30th the number of players playing it on any given day. Rivals 2. i can't even find the same fucking people to run it back against in ranked at 2AM because there's enough people playing the game.this shit literally does not matter. all that matters is whether or not you can play the video game IF you like it. if you expend any caloric energy thinking about this for longer than the time it took to write this post, you should consider either suicide or a extended stay somewhere where you can't do anything but feel the sun on your skin and the grass under your feet.
>>506966593pulling new players does not equate to making more money. Xdefiant literally shut down recently because despite getting an influx of players, they weren't spending any money.
>>506966987saving this for how wrong you are lol
>>506967228that game is fugly, i have no doubts players will want to buy cute absa skins.
>>506967490Nigga, ROA2's character designs are the games weakest aspect
be honest: do you try harder when you get matched up against someone with the pride icon
>>506967228xdefiant had a slew of problems from updates that would break the entire game, the netcode never being anything worth a shit, and a really really bad monetization scheme with a shitty battle pass
>>506970495I don't stop trying when I match against normal people so there's no harder to try
>>506967364If the game succeeds at all its because it kneeled to melee
>>506974392Anything else you want to add to the screenshot?If nothing of this fulfills you're going to have to take a shower.

>>506979178I don't play ranno
>hmm that's enough ranked for today>maybe some casual>1st match is an autistic zetterburn fucking platform camping on rock wall
Honestly, l-cancelling would save this game.
I no longer feel bad for faggot maypul players who can't edgeguard Clairen. Post that webm five fucking thousand times. And while we are at it how about we post dozens of webms where Maypul low profiles entire movesets and her being just as obnoxious as Clairen to edgeguard? That MU from the clairen PoV is so fucking tedious. Literally stop having fun and just run away and mash down tilt. Nothing else fucking connects vs the cunt.
>>506987698based
how popular was etalus in roa1? after the honeymoon phase how common will be be?

If this game had less femoids and more hot guys it would have been a hit
a painful blister forms on my left hand where i colored red if i play this game too long.
Edgeguarding will never be patched in because the Rivals devs are extremely anal about your win conditions. The idea of hitting someone 3 times off stage and then rolling up from ledge makes them seethe with anger. They want you to Reverse fair into sweet spot bair with Orcane at 80+%, they want you to do tipper fair (1) at 80+% into level 2 tipper neutral b with Clairen, they want you to do triple fair at 80+% as Zetter, etc etc. If you don't do those flowcharts to get kills off stage you're venturing off the plantation and that's a giant no no. This is why a game like melee mogs this kuso. You just do whatever the fuck you want and get kills and aren't at the mercy of super self conscious devs that want you to act out the pre-planned scripts they wrote for you.
computer, give me the most up to date character pickrates.
Question for the Orcane specialists: Is there a way to make hydroplane strong attack inputs simple while keeping my tilt stick? I really don't wanna go back to strong attacks on my right stick. There's gotta be a way to make the game register strong bind + tilt stick up or down = up or down strong, right? Come on.
>>507008008I been sayin. We need more plat fighters that arent afraid to just let you fucking die. Melee is the only 4 stock plat fighter for a reason.
>>507015104Rush Rev was 4 stock but it filtered meleebabies due to not being melee
>>507015213I dont play ugly games with soulless tranny designs. Get over it already.
>>507015275>non-sequitur>buzzword buzzwordAlright sorry to bring up an example that clearly refutes your argument.
everything i said is completely correct. its fucking ugly and has dei character designs. you lost
>>507015641>non-sequitur>A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it.so when I bring up RushRev's gameplay and you suddenly jump about ranting about character design, that's a non-sequitur. Unfortunately it seems you've now stuck yourself in a loop and will reply again with buzzwords, ad-hominems, and other random mad things. Dunno why Meleefriends get so bent out of shape when other games are mentioned.
>um actually ad hominen! ad hominen! non sequitor!nigga five seconds ago you were sperging about "filtering" "meleebabies", idgaf about your autism
>>507016132Okay. You're right, I shouldn't have baited you with that, as it was bad faith. I'd like to have it struck from the record. Now then?
>>507015213i didnt play that game because it looked like shit, same reason why i wont play the combo devils
>>507016949You know what kind of person plays a game on the basis of character designs? A Multiversus player... I think a rational person would say something like, "I didn't play RushRev because the characters are not appealing, but maybe the way it handles recovery, edge guarding, and killing in general is worth examining," rather than the whole song and dance you gave.
objective ordered platform fighters tierlist>b-but that game isnt even out yetand i will still be right when it releases, as i always am about literally everything
>>507017613So you ranked at least two games without playing them? Then conceivably you haven't played several games here, which could include the games you ranked highly. From your own admissions you cast doubt on whether you've ever played Melee or Rivals 1. Hell, there's now doubt if you've even played Rivals 2.
>>507018659games i havent played that are listedfraymakers, nasb2, combo devils, brawlhalla
>>507019065oh and icons
>>507019065>>507019517Next time I read some insane opinion from someone upholding Melee as better than Rivals, I will imagine the face of you, the brave attention seeker who didn't even play 30% of the games he put on a tier list that he keeps posting over and over.Meleefags, what is wrong with you? Genuinely? This is deranged behavior.
>>507019921I am right and that's all that matters>b-but you didn't play those games!! And my objective tierlist is still correct and nothing you say will ever change that
There is only one reason someone would think roa is better than melee. Being a shitter at melee. That's it. There isn't a single person on this planet that thinks rivals is better than melee and was actually decent at melee themselves. You can prove me wrong anytime but you never will because both you and I know you were a complete shitstain at melee and it's the ONLY reason you have a negative opinion of the game. Even cakeassult thinks melee is better than rivals.
>melee has things that are bad and outside the meta>*ignores*>rivals has things that are bad and outside the meta>WTF THIS IS UNPLAYABLE WHY CANT I WIN BY USING MY CONTROLLER AS A DILDO
>>507020991aaaaahh my GC arthritis controller I AM DIENG HERE
>>507020991rivals 2 has legitimate flaws, a lot which are articulated in >>506678606; however, melee was an accident that will never be patched beyond PAL while rivals 2 is designed for competitive play - and is actively being balanced by a developer that directly interacts with the community. players think that they can change the game by critiquing it, criticizing it, or just bitching and moaning, and to an extent they're right.even though melee arguably has greater flaws than rivals 2, it has an extremely solid foundation. in other words, it doesn't matter that more than half the roster isn't competitively viable, or that g&w can't L-cancel or shield, or that bowser has a 8f jumpsquat, or that wobbling exists. the core gameplay is good enough that people ignore these flaws. ultimate, and to a lesser extent rivals 2, are examples of the opposite principle. the core gameplay of ultimate is an abomination, because of things like>input delay and buffering>the prevalence of safe, auto-cancel aerials>universal 3f jumpsquat and increased jump velocity>deliberately bad advantage and disadvantage states>literally everything involving zoners / zoningultimate is the sum of its parts: a game where everyone just spams jump and fishes for safe aerials. it doesn't matter that the roster is technically better-balanced than melee, because its core gameplay still produces pervasive imbalances: steve, sonic, g&w, and snake are all tumors that grew from these design decisions.i think the core gameplay of rivals 2 is good, but it's the same shit: the roster is remarkably balanced (i think orcane and clairen are the only characters who are under-represented), but the issues with the game are more universal and indirectly affect every character. that said, i'm not a doomer and i think people need to chill the fuck out. the game will get better, most likely.

>>507063613Haha, tranny ant so based, based. If the game dies I hope its because of the tranny shit they push.
>>507062453why are you guys so negative :(
>>507064545as a die-hard rivalfag, who cooks meleefags for breakfast, I can't even defend this result. I did not play the workshop characters themselves, but designwise, ant is such a optical blast for my eyes to look at.
Missed opportunity to have a fun + cool character added to the game. Oh well.Does anyone know how I can pirate workshop characters? I'm not giving a dime to the devs, they already ripped me off once.
>>507064947>cant afford 15 dollar gameWay to be a poorfag
>507065129weak bait rivalstranny
>>507062453i wouldve picked awatsu or bhadra. im sure there were even better options outside of the honorable mentions.
>>507064947pirate workshop characters?? you just download them?
>507065197Cant wait for the tranny to actually win the next notable melee tournament. >mfw you have to root for Cody to stop an axewound from winning a major in your dead game LOL
>>507065216he means roa1 retardkun
>>507065504i was talking about rivals 1 though?
>>507065215I liked Awatsu and Helios quite a bit too. Looking forward to playing them if I can do it without supporting the devs. It's crazy that fans in their free time can cook up something better than a dedicated team dozens strong working full-time for a decade. Nuts.
the rivals devs only like lame characters
Do melee trannies skip showers too? Imagine the pungent axewound smell in future melee tournaments.
>>507065661you know the way you guys are talking about roa i'm questioning if you all even like it
>507065970You're a little slow, aren't you
>>507066081talking about a roa character that... looks fun?!?! wtf is this??? only a roa hater would do that
>meleeturds pretend to like roa1 to make their argument why roa2 is shit.They have no interest in playing anything but melee and discord circlejerk each other about why other games are shit. 20 years of living in a bubble creates a condition like no other.
>>507066542ok
Stage looks nice too
>>507066661hes a cutie
Have you subbed to m2k for chance to play agains THE legend?
Bahdra's music is really good as well. I love that it's not a grating 60 second loop like every singe track in RoA2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGOp1CI_xE
Etalus waiting room.
>>507067438good thing etalus, a lame heavy, is coming soon amirite bros?!
>>507066661That CSS sprite is so good
>>507067625>Etalus>a lame heavyKys
>>507067874yes
>>507067625Kragg and Lox aren't lame and based on this trend, Etalus won't be lame too
If I could I would refund RoA2 and buy RoA instead. I had fun playing RoA, can't say the same for the sequel.
i need to play more friendlies but i dont want to join the shitcord, pain
Lobby (my rating is 1141)ww7g1x
Look at this cute little guyHe reminds me of a certain digimon
>>507063613It's not only the worst design.It's so bad that when this character is released, it will actively detract from what is already an abysmally bad game.
>>507044209>you're an obnoxious faggot that only losers defendSeems accurate. Also you could apply this to many characters in R2. I'd say Zetter aligns the most though.
>>507067151>>507067640What a charming smile he has
>>507062453>Johnny knock off>Venom knock off>Skullgirls character knock offOnly the serpent was original. These workshop troons suck.
>>507071350Who? I like them.
>>507071350are you just using that word to make you sound more aggressive? sound cooler? attack them more? whats the point in calling them that word if it has nothing to do with the workshop
>>507071569shut the fuck up
>>507071661ok :(
I figured out how to download workshop characters and play them on a pirated copy of RoA. Sick!
>>507071661I mean they literally are troons who always have to tie it into their character's lore because they are obsessed. See the moth, the ant and countless others.
>>507071989ok but who cares, thats my question
loxodont has an infinite number of mixups on recovery and therefore can never be edgeguarded if the loxodont has a brain
>15 dollars for a dead, 8 year old game
>>507072606>that only 500 people play
what do you assume about your opponent if they pick harbor?
>>507070876cope lol
>>507072606its 9 years old
Reminder that you can parry a few recoveries, Forsburn and Orcane's are good examples. Forsburn is extremely predictable given he doesn't have smoke or a clone out, worth noting his upb doesn't have a hitbox if he teleports into smoke though. And Orcane's sideb is pretty slow and predictable too and it's common for them to do rising nair or bairs after a walljump
>>507076056Melee players never parry so this information is useless.
this general really is only useful for arguing, debating, and watching tournaments
>>507076540So... basically a /vg/ general without waifuing part.
Can someone who bought RoA download and send some mods? I was able to get Bhadra and some others but not Helios, Awatsu, and Bhadras stage.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3119664631https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118680316https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3152014365
>>507078348why canbt you do it
>>507078348does online even work for pirated versions of the game?
>>507077045but there are plenty of waifus in this game...
>>507078348Or if someone wants to just drop a fat load of mods that be fine too
Tell me anons, Why was Mew2king in South Africa?
>>507081167He has shady handlers that ""'"help"""" him manage his finances cuz he's an exploitable autist.
>>507024364I shit you not adding L-cancelling would make the game less spammy. People have been shitting on that mechanic for years, but don't understand that the mechanic was put in place for a reason.It's a big reason PM is so spamming too.
>>507070876how cucked do you have to be to defend a burger ceo, let alone a burger healthcare ceo? that's terminal contrarianism right there. unitedhealth is not going to approve your claim because you protected their honor online
>>507057361because he was uber carried, and now he's just carried

>>507085153gimr? that faggot who killed PM? good riddance bozo
>>507084783no, that thing is not cool
>>507062453>That's all I gathered from literally 10 seconds of gameplay.>>507064946>I did not play the workshop characters themselvesweird how the most critical takes in these threads come from people with zero hours in a game or character! very odd! makes you think!
>>507086139it's almost like there's a few people who live to concerntroll here instead of actually playing the game
>>507086139Read my fucking post again, mongoloid. The ant is ASS to look at. Never cared for workshop characters in roa.
>>507085153>Dan threatening to nerf Maypul ftiltGoodI don't mind the gimmicks unless there's no counterplay, or the counterplay feels bad to execute. Against Clairen, there's literally nothing you can do to stop her from benefiting from her gimmick. Against Zetterburn, your only option is to play like a pussy and disengage as soon as you're on fire (Which you will be), otherwise you just eat an empowered ustrong out of half of his moves or a tech chase and die. In contrast, I don't mind Ranno's, Fleet's, or Kragg's gimmicks at all. Coincidentally, all of them are dealt with in the same way: just hit them / the thing.
>>507086597Clairen's "gimmick" is unironically the most honest in the game because it doesn't interfere with the game and is just fun for the Clairen main. The shit characters like Kragg do is the polar opposite where it completely ruins neutral and mind games for the defender.
>>507086353That's just, like, your opinion, manThe 2D art looks like shit, the early 3D model looks fine and the character is probably going to be carried by its animations like Incineroar in Ultimate
>>507087493I guess...? So far they've translated stuff to 3d alright, but the colors are still ugly. Still don't like the design or care about a grappler. Pity the better and more interesting looking characters weren't picked.
>>507087863After the bird dude, I think Reina is the most interesting of the finalistst. actually played a lot of the contest characters online
>>507090243huh?
>>507090371wrong tab
>>507090243>he got scammed with another game
Do you like Rivals of Aether 2?
>>507091453It's alright
>>507091453
>>507091453YeaIt feels like it could've used more 6 months of development though
>>507091453could be better but its alright. theres a few aspects of the game that i feel REALLY needs to change but the games new so whatever
>>507091453Yeah, it's legitimately got greatness in it. Just 3-4 more characters on launch would have solidified it as an instant classic but they just didn't have the manpower I guess.
>>507091453Yeah
Ok I just played Bhadra and he's a really cool + fun character.I like his visual and gameplay design more than any other character in RoA. Had a lot of fun with his wavegrind in particular.
Havent really been watching "Drunkcember" has mang0 actually been getting hammered? I only watch when he's playing Rivals of AETHER
>>507091453Nah it's complete ass
>>507090243yeah that sounds about accurate. I tried 'kuza kiwama and I got filtered in the mid/lategame, just too much bullshit halting the story when things started ramping up
>>507091453I do, but I'm a filthy causal who just completes the battle pass then takes a break until the next one drops.
>>507091453It's not a fun game. There's no fun matchups most can camp you indefinitely and the game plan isn't a fun one like rivals was
>>507094406>there's no fun MUsi like ranno : zetter as eitheri feel like the broader issue with a lot of MUs is that people will get punished for being retarded, and their response is to slow down their gameplay and over-rely on their gimmick. kraggs who stop approaching and start spamming rock / rock shards / down B, maypuls who just run away when dash attack gets shielded once, clairen's entire fucking game plan.

>>507096946post a single clip of yours
zetter was fine in the previous patch. all they did was make him fucking broken because melee players wouldnt stop crying about their character not being the best in the game. this patch is literally "what if melee fox but you dont have to l cancel and also all of his tech is easy now". they did NOT need to make the braindead mash character any better than he already was.
>>507096946>top 8 every week>less than 8 entrantsWell done, Anon!
