Buffered inputs>Never know when moves end>Never know when the buffer begins>Moves come out delayed by several frames>Mash every input to guarantee it comes out on the first possible frame>Sometimes buffer eats your input anyway>unintuitive blending of inputs togetherUnbuffered inputs>Always know when moves end>Always know when actionable state begins>Moves come out as soon as the frame is rendered>Never mash inputs, only skill and precision is required>If you input before actionable, you always know exactly how and why your input was incorrect>Each input is independent and flows freely into the next

so they way di works in this game is no drift di during combos/hitstun, just initial asdi/ssdi, correct?
>>507103625I'm not playing this game until they release him#FreeEtalus
>ibdw was paid a 50k salary from a meme esport orgwhy are they paying smashies this much? no wonder esports always crumble. https://clips.twitch.tv/TangentialEndearingGoshawkOSsloth-1M9XFf4yOLtX6ODI
>>507103625thats called roa1 netplay
Clock a better time than this. Go ahead, I dare you.
>>507104138yes
L-cancelling is needed to save the game.
>>507105106>unforced error less than a second into the runYep, that's our resident brazilian clairen schizo.I'm shocked he's even in Bronze, honestly.
>>507105368Clairen is easily the hardest charcter in the game. She has to work for everything thing she gets.
I've been working on my Fleet, what do you guys think?
Wrastor is the biggest nigger in the game.
my wife maypul tying me up and tickling my feet
Etalus is sick
kragg is so fun
It's so fucking laughable that frogniggers actually are so bad at the game they struggle vs clairen. Sheik mains would get laughed out of rooms if they complained about marth, but the retarded hivemind in this community says it's ok to complain about it. Little sister, you're faster than clairen, your throw game is comical, your needles are insane, your combo game on clairen is broken. Also you have 15 different massive stages you can run to when you run into Clairen.
>>507110402Everyone else gets to throw their projectile or spam their gimmick for free, Clairen has nothing to deal with them and she gets nothing off her gimmick. Plus Clairen is really hard to use. She's basically a pubstomper or a noobslayer.
>>507105368Let's see you do better then
My Kragg matchup tier list
>>507111304why zetterburn as +1?
>>507111426Because Kragg can just pillar his recovery, no edgeguard required.
>>507111304Even after the nerfs, Orcane has a great MU vs Kragg.
>>507111304Kragg should be lower, he has a horrible matchup against Kragg
>>507111769My thing is orcane is how seriously easy it is for me to edgegard them. My rock, fair, and fsmash are so strong I feel like 50% of the time I get an orcane past ledge it's a kill
Every. Single. Goddamn. One.
>>507112854bro's getting mad at a flag
>>507113048Fleet main detected. Don't forget to dilate.
>>507113048Kek, Ikr. Pic unrelated.
>>507113254>fights one (1) war>loses>>507113239weird response
>>507113254Typical nazi meleechud
>>507105106sure, as soon as those absolute retards let us play target test from the main menu
>>507113449>t.
>>507113545Why, can't beat Arcade mode? Awwwwww poor baby
>another kragg skinat least there's not another Ranno skin too
getting smothered by fleet feet
>>507114480What about the Fleet skins?
I LOVE FLEET!
>just finished playing 37 fucking games against some guy in casualthis is why i play casual, that was a ton of fun. you have sift through a few sweaty animals who treat it like ranked, but when you get someone who's roughly your skill level who's willing to stick around and play for fun, it's fucking great.
>>507114480>No feathersThey're not dinosaurs.
>>507114881>that happenedlol sure
I just had a ranno couch council BOTH hits of Forsburn's fsmash, at 110. The cape feels bad, but the second knife stab was also crotch consoled, and I saved the replay because I refused to believe it. I just think conch pencil is too strong for too long; you shouldn't be able to brunch pretzel anything after 100, if not earlier, but that's just me.
>>507115272He was pretty good
>>507114480Looks like everyone's (or at least more characters) are getting a "primal" skin. I like these skins that remind me of Neopets, rather than shit like>astronaut Forsburn>lawyer Kragg>programmer socks Fleet
>>507116095>RannoNah, you're just dogshit.
>>507111304Most of this makes sense, yeah.I'm mostly a Ranno player and I have a Kragg secondary purely to deal with Clairen. Holy shit, what a miserable MU. Just two retards who can't go in waiting for the other retard to go in so they auto-lose. I've run into people who counterpick Clairen and a big, flat stage after game 1 and I seriously consider just throwing the game to save the caloric energy of playing it out.
>>507116620It's so fucking laughable that frogniggers actually are so bad at the game they struggle vs clairen. Sheik mains would get laughed out of rooms if they complained about marth, but the retarded hivemind in this community says it's ok to complain about it. Little sister, you're faster than clairen, your throw game is comical, your needles are insane, your combo game on clairen is broken. Also you have 15 different massive stages you can run to when you run into Clairen.

>>507116793Dupetroon, You obese fuck! Back to control c'ing my posts I see!
>>507117051hate when artists make the feet so glossy they look like plastic.
Since when is Dan Fornace a plushophile?
>>507117136>Amaterasu plushieno...unless?

>>507117194>OMG Absa cookie! She's in guys it's happening!You're retarded and pathetic.
>>507104912i'm curious whether they covered flights and registration fees for tournaments. if not, 50k is shit. if so, it's not too bad considering he also streams as a job. even though i don't really like cody as a competitor, i hope he finds a stable sponsor.
Guys... you don't think...?No, it couldn't possibly be... unless...Wait... it's really happening guys! I can feel it, YES!DARK LUIGI !!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD YESHE'S IN HE'S FINALLY IN OH MY GOD
>>507117924
someone host
>>507123639i'm tired
this game pisses me off more than league of legends ever did
>>507126879this but then i just go again
true bread and butter combos in this game be like>nair nair nair nair nair>fair fair fair fair fair fair
>>507132726Who has a nairplane other than Orcane? The character most guilty of the shit you're talking about is probably fors and his a fair/ up air chains.
>>507116095>>50711488190% of my opps are either salt factories who leave after 2 matches, bronze-tier shitters, or people who clearly eclipse me in skill by a fuck ton. But once you actually find someone your level who just wants to sit down and play its kino.
Would you sacrafice your leg to play Rivals 2?
>>50710491250k isn't even that for a salary much but whew even that much is psychotic. I dont get esports orgs at all, at least for fighting games.
>switch won the last coinbox>streams casual games vs Boiko and he literally can't take a gameWhy are there so many good players who are lurking in the shadows and not entering things? Marlon has an excuse, but people like Boiko and Fullstream not entering is just weird. Perhaps they want to give noobs a chance to catch up? I got nothing.
>>507141656who does boiko play
>>507141778Clairen and he's probably the best Clairen in the community too. He was entering and winning a bunch of tournaments during the playtest era, pretty sure he even beat Marlon a few times.
>>507142090is boiko "gligar" in this vod? i'm morbidly curious about what a good clairen looks like. i think she's simultaneously the coolest and absolute fucking lamest character in the game, and i want to see someone play her well.
>>507140301i expected someone like ibdw to get a 28k salary at best. hes playing for a game that doesnt get much views anymore
>>507142354>is boiko "gligar" in this vod?Yeah.>i think she's simultaneously the coolest and absolute fucking lamest character in the gameClairen to me is actually one of the coolest characters in the game. Her skill ceiling is basically infinity. Don't let scrubby back throw into forward strong mashing Clairens fool you.
>>507141656>>streams casual games vs Boiko and he literally can't take a gamelink
>>507142491i'm very much curious about the state of melee financially. i was watching footage from old tournaments yesterday and it honestly got me down. we've lost a lot of players, commentators, and TOs and tournaments. summit being dead still feels wrong to me, no matter how many scuffed invitationals try to replace it.i don't know who looks at 2024 smash and decides to invest in it. melee or ultimate.>>507143000https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2331874669
But yeah, exactly like this Bokio vs Switch stream Void occsionlly will stream with Fullstream on random select and basically never take a game. These hidden bosses are up to something.
>>507143368maybe theyre waiting for marlon to get unbanned so theres actual competition therefore an incentive to play
>>507103160Those faggots on /v/ lied to me, 8bitdos are trash. I’m just gonna get an Xbox controller or something, Jesus Christ im so tired of input lag and drift on my controllers
>pick a random match in this switch / boiko vod>some guy gets mindbroken because boiko's lox catches zetter fucking around at the ledge with the falling hitbox of down-b and converts it into a 7-hit string / killit's weird how many people don't seem to understand how much universal wall jump and every stage being yoshi's affects edgeguarding. obviously some characters have an easier time of it than others (especially ranno), but i feel like everyone should try and force scrambles at the wall.
>>507145157I'm using a DS4 and am able to do insane shit I was never able to do on a gamecube controller. The left stick lets me babydash and perfect pivot on command and there are so many buttons for remaping. Only downside is I've found the usb port to the remote tends to degrade over time. I wish they still made wired controllers man.
>>507145157works on my machine. Have't used a better controller.
>be leaving for a week>only have shitty laptop that cant run rivals>main pc back at apartment>steam stream lets me play remotelyI fucking love technology. Rivals gaming continues.
going to make a /v/ thread complaining about the arbitrary execution this game has thanks for reading my post
>>507149007You'd be lucky to get a dozen even if you lean in hard to human male on female anthro which is one of /v/'s biggest fetishes. But a sincere discussion about this niche ass game with no baiting? 5 replies max.
>>507149224i wasnt expecting much anyways
Thoughts?
>>507151204DoA
>>507151204looks fun but i predict smashies in these threads will be even more obnoxious about it than they are now about rivals
>>507152873It's going to suck ass. The hate will be justified
>>507153187exactly how i mean, you've all already decided to dedicate your beings toward blindly hating it rather than simply waiting to play it before judging.cue that retard who posts his platform fighter tierlist then admits he hasn't played half the games on it
>>507153432I'm going to give it an honest go but we all know it's going to suck ass anyways so why bother being optimistic >because it might be goodWrong >it might be funWrong
>>507154043years of /v/ have poisoned your brain into being an insufferable dork at all times who feels compelled to ruin all discussion with "it sucks fucking ass fuck shit" at the first mention of something new
>>50715120499% of discussion about it on this site will be>THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!because that's the only way people know how to engage with platform fighters that are competitive and fast but aren't trying to copy melee.
>>507155336Hi combo devils dev
>>507151204More dead than this game
>>507149007>rivals 2>arbitrary execution>has???
>>507151204mite b coolhowever, i can't look at this game and not think of kung-fu chaos for the original xbox, and it produces a vague sense of disgust
i think i will try learning how to play this disgusting rat thing tomorrow, now that my friends have dropped the game and i no longer need to worry about making anyone want to kill themselves with my character choice.is she technical, or is she LARPing as technical but is actually brainless?
>>507167761She has quite high skill ceiling. Once you learn her recovrey, tether finishers, reversing side specials to get opponent wrapped you will hit plat in no time.
>>507149007/v/ doesn't even talk about smash gameplay. good luck.
I love Maypul so much.

creature
>>507165626I don't know what its called but I'm talking about the game making you babydash or wavedash in order to tilt out of a dash which is this games own L canceling
>no link to previous thread>no thread #>proper thread diesyou guys are really supporting this shit?
>>507188016that guy really wanted to make the thread over you for some severely autistic reason. the thing is, the people dont really care and will click on any thread
>>507188016>>507188634you lost you fucking annoying faggot. No one likes you, no one wants you around, your thread died, you dont play the game. Fuck off already you fucking shitposting piece of garbage
I'm new to fighting games and I've put about 100 hours into Rivals 2. I'm not really having fun, and everyone keeps saying Melee is better. I have a friend who said he would mentor me as well. Should I just try Melee instead?
>>507192292no melee is dogshit, your friend is the devil and you shouldn't trust him
>>507197291So I should trust a gay furry on 4chan instead?
>>507198169yes, because i want to throat forsburn's fat dick, that means i'm honest and my advice is genuine. I think you should try another character!
>>507198649nah, later faggot.
>>507198965I understand, you were probably getting aroused by how erotic forsburn is, it happens
>>507198965>>507192292Melee isn’t worth playing on the fact alone that all the people that play it are sweaty nerds that smell like back alley dying rats. I’ve been to major and minor tournaments and I can tell you that none of them are cool people irl. If you pick up the game, be better than them (which is hard because platform fighters aren’t even real fighting games) At least with this game it’s new so maybe the culture can be saved.
>>507199937>people that play it are sweaty nerds that smell like back alley dying ratsSounds like rivalstrannies desu
>>507192292Melee is great, it's simply one of the best games to exist, and frankly as someone new to the genre it prepares you for the absolute bullshit and jank you come across in the entire genre so it's not a terrible entry point. It is extremely difficult even to do basic actions, but in turn it might be the most satisfying game to get good at period. It takes a while but once you get it down you'll feel like the coolest fucker aliveDefinitely worth trying, it's different than RoA2 in a lot of ways
He loves me! He really loves me!
>>507200714>It is extremely difficult even to do basic actionsskill issue
I played a bunch of workshop characters last night and realized most of them are better than the base roster. Why can't the RoA team design characters without over-centralizing gimmicks? None of them are fun.
>>507151204looked alright but also a bit feature bloatedlike the features all kind of looked like they were at odds with each other and had to have constant visual reminders for eachif they ever do a free trial or if its f2p i'll give it a shot
>>507192292Melee is sick
>>507202156i hate normalfags so muchstick to fortnite
>>507199937>I’ve been to major and minor tournaments>t. 0-2 shitter
>>507203557I'll stick to your mom's porkhole like I usually do.
fleet's juicy porkhole
Roa brand loyalty is worse than smash ultimate and street fighter brand loyalty combined
>>507210159I'm pretty sure it's just one autistic loser here. Most other regular folk have moved on to better games (mostly Melee).
if you play melee you probably smell like shit
>>507192292Duped
God I love her so much.
>>507212069If you play roa you're probably a tranny who smells like shit
>>>/trash/71737105Rivalstrannies, everyone.
>>507214808Ermmm why are you in that thread
>>507214808God I wish I could stuff my dick in soft hot orcane butt
>>507191801you can pinpoint the exact moment where the local schizo wakes up and begins bumping the thread for free
They instantly recognized Etalus in the plushophile thread, this is so amusing.
host
They should change the name back to "Rivals 2" just to re-establish the fact that this game has zero identity.An aimless mishmash of nonsensical mechanics. Sad!
>>507226941thanks for the bump

>>507193023I am not gay or furry, but man, does this image make me want to get on my knees, kiss his abs, feeling his strong and warm muscles flex under my lips and be scratched by the coarse hair that gets thicker and longer the further down you go.

>>507230340just hold down retard
>>507230998holding down is too fucking slow
>>507231245just wavedash
>>507231379wavedashing is even slower. why should i get punished for trying to get the game to function properly?
>>507230625>t. phoneposting brown esl
why is this game so scared to let you kill
>>507230686Are you a paid shill or just bored + lonely?
>>507231510nice b8 meleeturd.
>>507232112wavedashing is slower you fucking retard
Why bother misinputting when even if your inputs are perfect the game isn't fun?
>>507232357the game would be more fun if the inputs worked properly and didnt have any buffer
you HAVE to be a shitter to be playing rivals over melee, there's just no other explanation
>>507232568i like melee but i am both bored of it and melee runs poorly on my pc anyways
>>507232568you posted this yesterday but with more words
>>507232518See that's where you're wrong. The only fun to be had is when you shut it off and play a different game.
>>507232734actually i posted that, he just reposted it but with less words
stupid ass dan furnace, dumb asshole who INSISTS the game have hour long input buffers so i have to do some bum ass finger puzzles just to dash forward and do a tilt and not get a dash attack, fuckin garbage ass moron
>>507233158sex
>>507233028i remember when dupenigger tried
>>507233610When lox says "you're pathetic" he's specifically talking to you for being a rizzless unfuckable incel.
>>507117317>the rivalstranny *still* cannot interpret an argument correctly or argue against anything that was actually said>the rivalstranny is *still* arguing solely and entirely against fake things that no one said other than xerselfTruly retarded and pathetic.
>>507230340Play Wrastor if you want to do tilts mid dash.
>>507233158Anon, it's pretty easy to wavedash -> tilt. Just input it cleanly, maybe try spending a couple minutes in training mode for the first time.
>>507234696yeah and its also so slow youll just lose neutral anyways (if your opponent is fast enough)
>>507234696average rivalstranny post
>>507234696Her new design was such a downgrade. Looks like a fucking goblin.
>>507235008to be fair that artist fucking sucks
Who's on Slippi tonight? I love Melee.
>>507235361Yeah its too goblin
This game is bad, and Melee is good.
mew2kings entire gameplan as loxodont is to just spam ledge refresh until someone finally gets bored and runs at him
>>507236117some things will never change....
>>507236032>This game is bad, and Melee is good.This desu. I hate Rivals of Aether 2. It's a really bad game.
>>507236415Same. That's why I come here every day.
>>507236651Ah yes, the Melee general. 'Tis a splendid place.
>>507234696mo fucka the long buffer is what sucked ass about smash 4, then they knew it sucked and fixed it in ultimate, dan needs to handle that ish. fuck having to do an extra wavedash input just to work around the dumb ass dash buffer
It really is odd how Leffen, Mang0 and Void, the three biggest Rivals streamers, all just happened to drop off at the same exact time. It's almost like they were all playing for the same reason and that reason expired.
>>507236978Mang0 is right about everyone playing lame
>>507236651I come here to preach the good word about Melee. Make this game more like Melee Dan. Adding L-Cancelling would be a good start.
>>507237937You are 100% trolling
>>507234895A wavedash is quite literally 14 frames of commitment to moving forwards. If you get punished it's because you chose the wrong option/spacing. Maybe just stick to dash attacks if you can't handle that much thinking.>>507237320What inputs are you having trouble with that buffer and mess with the wavedash? I haven't had a problem with it before.
>>507238529it's not anything messing with the wavedash, it's more i wanna just do a dash and then a tilt, but the dash buffer is too long so it forces a dash attack. i do try to insert a wave dash and then a tilt, but it feels dumb to have to resort to that because the buffer is obnoxious
>>507103771This desu
>>507237329Mango was paid to play "for a year", so he's just trolling it
>>507239331Dude that's not the buffer. You can't tilt attack out of dash/run in smash games and it's the same in rivals of aether.
>>507238239... outside of /b/?
Even twitch is telling you to watch a better game
>>507239989You can in Melee. I wouldn't expect rivalstrannies to know that.
>>507239989>You can't tilt attack out of dash/run in smash gameslol
You know it's not going well when these are your only two options
>>507239989>You can't tilt attack out of dash/run in smash games and it's the same in rivals of aether.LMAO
>>507239989nah in ultimate you can definitely dash > down tilt, and the down tilt will cancel the dash attack. rivals will be like nah fuck you dash attack has priority. you can even do dash into neutal a, that shit doesn't work in rivals either
>>507192292>I've put about 100 hours into Rivals 2. I'm not really having funThis is a common experience with Rivals 2. >everyone keeps saying Melee is better.Melee is better. Rivals 2 should have been like Melee. Instead, it's actually more like Ultimate. It's not even really like Rivals 1, which still would have been better than what it currently is. >I have a friend who said he would mentor me as well. Should I just try Melee instead?Yes. You will never feel as "cool" or as "sick" in any other game as you can in Melee. The game's entire soul is just sick cool shit. Imagine if Rivals 2 wasn't just random fucking gimmicks 90% of the time while fishing for stray bairs, where edgeguarding is real and recoveries aren't free, and where low percent combos actually kill and feel super cool to pull off. That's what Melee is.
>>507197291 >>507199937 >>507200714 >>507203134 >>507242083you all replied to bait/a repostwhy are meleefags still here? why do they wake up and choose to seethe in a thread that doesn't want them? why do they use their time to get butthurt about rivals when they could be doing anything else? what level of autism is that?
>>507242060And that is why ultimate is a trash game.
>nerf orcane, who is already the worst in the game by a mile>barely touch fleet, ranno, and zetterburn who are all vastly better characters and easily the most obnoxious to fight in the game stillYeah, can't imagine why the game is dying.
>>507242581duped!
>>507242581>why are meleefags still here? why do they wake up and choose to seetheI just want this game to be good. I don't understand why rivalstrannies don't also want this game to be good.
>>507242581Melee is sickget duped LMAO
>>507242903You seem to be confused! The devs read feedback here: https://rivals-of-aether-ii-launch.nolt.io/https://rivals-of-aether-ii-patch-103-feedback.nolt.io/They don't browse /vg/.
>>507242903>I just want this game to be good.I will never understand why that's such a hard concept for them to grasp
>>507241148>>507241638I always doubt myself so I tested it on melee and ultimate literally right now. You can't tilt out of run.The difference is that in ultimate if you use tilt stick and input a tilt with it during dash, it comes out as soon as the dash ends. Not really surprised, but I didn't know because ult is a shit game. They need it because they have no wavedash like melee or rivals has.>>507242060Why are you hitting the attack button during a dash if you don't want a dash attack? Wavedash if you want a moving tilt. This is good practice so you can get start wavelanding and ledgedashing too. If you still want it simple you can dtilt easily out of run because the crouch cancels the run.
>>507241864iBDW has to be the worst thing to happen to Melee. Glad he's focusing on this game instead.
>>507243556We know about his mom and his gf. He's an honorary Rivals player.
>>507242742i actually still hate fighting orcane more than any of those. yes, even fleet. orcane is just such a fucking brainless character that he makes ranno look like he qualified for MENSA.
>>507243543>I always doubt myself so I tested it on melee and ultimate literally right now. You can't tilt out of run.skill issue
>>507243149Wow, you mean to say the devs ignore feedback on MULTIPLE platforms? No way!!!

Stinky sweaty sex with skunk MaypulHeteronormative interspecies relations
>>507243791>>507244108>>507244165Are you retards counting a tilt after stopping a run as "tilt out of run"?Or can you do it in something like multiversus or brawlhalla and your brain has rotted to the point that you think you can do the same in smash?
>>507244165afaik ultimate has the ability to tilt out of a dash by holding back on the stick while inputting the tilt, but not a run. i don't think there's any way to tilt out of a run, which is why people foxtrot. that said, ultimate's ground game is nonexistent so there's no reason to tilt 90% of the time. the entire game is just spamming safe aerials because jumping / auto-cancel is so good.
>>507244490You can't tilt while running you stupid rivalstranny

Is there a good reason you should be able to floorhug moves at 100%+?
>>507256856bcuz melee
>>507256856I just had a ranno couch council BOTH hits of Forsburn's fsmash, at 110. The cape feels bad, but the second knife stab was also crotch consoled, and I saved the replay because I refused to believe it. I just think conch pencil is too strong for too long; you shouldn't be able to brunch pretzel anything after 100, if not earlier, but that's just me.

So what's the point of nerfs if they're going to walk back on them and undo them?
I fucking HATE WRASTORAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCan I play neutral? No. Keep mashing your faggot falco elephant gun. Keep mashing yolo down b's and hitting me out of shit. Go back to fucking melee and mash Falco lasers. You belong there.

>>507276797freudian slip more like. 50 ranked losses a day.
Forsniggers will say "my up smash le doesn't work ;_;" with a straight face when it's basically a guaranteed kill on platforms above 100% even if you ass DI'ing hard out.

>>507278280it was overnerfed last patch, it's fine now
>>507279019wait i misread forsniggers as frogniggers, you're right. it feels like it always kills on platform but is piss useless without them.
So is Clairen supposed to just roll over and die against Fleet? She literally invalidates my entire existence

>even amsa is playing marvel rivalsI wonder if netease bought out all the "rivals" streamers so that there wouldn't be any confusion regarding the name. Like, isn't it kinda weird that every single Rivals of Aether 2 streamer suddenly became the streamer of a different "Rivals" game? None of the people I follow on Twitch are streaming Marvel Rivals *except* for the Rivals of Aether players.
>>507286391yeah i'm sure marvel was feeling threatened by a niche within a niche. they paid amsa $250,000 dollars!!!1!
how come none of the air characters across both games have any wind boxes?
>>507287909You know that there are times where you can just respond to what people actually type instead of what you make up yourself, right? Do you think it's completely normal that the only people I'm following on Twitch who are streaming Marvel Rivals are all (former) Rivals streamers?
>>507286391This seems likely to be the case. Marvel wouldn't want to be associated with a game as bad as Rivals 2.
>>507286391I doubt it. Reality is much more mundane.>mang0Loves FPS and MOBA, loves Marvel, currently hates (the state of) Melee, and doesn't have it in him to compete in Rivals 2.>v0idLoves Deadlock and gets addicted to FotM games.>aMSaI honestly don't even know whether aMSa plays or streams anything outside of platform fighters, so this is surprising.People are just playing the game because it's the shiny new FOTM multiplayer game, I doubt there's any conspiracy here.
i needed to update my switch and ended up playing a little bit of ultimate, singleplayer and online. i honestly feel a little nauseated. the input delay alone makes it feel like complete and utter shit to play, I don't know how i ever did at all.
>>507300784After switching to roa, few years back. Idk what kind of copium I was on to think that ultimate online was okay.

Unless Rivals of Aether 2 is also "the shiny new FOTM multiplayer game", I don't understand how this happened.
Mew2king should do what lowtiergod used to do-cam off every stream until someone donates $15usd to get it turned on-plays with viewers but only if they donate $10 per set-mew2king is allowed to leave whenever he feels the person that paid for a game is playing lame -bans anyone that calls him washed -start pretending to get angry at video games for more viewers

the furry queer spamming cropped porn did a better job of killing this thread than the person who spends hours every day trying to instigate a fake culture war between rivals and meleelet it die
So why is there no /ssbg/? It sounds like there was one in the past?Is there just not that many people playing and discussing melee on this board anymore, or was it overtaken by ultimate kiddies and then died?
>>507351749this is /platgen/
Gentlemen, welcome back to the /melee/ general. Please try to keep your conversations on topic, and be respectful to one another, as always.
>>5073517491. no one plays actually plays melee on 4chan, or at least i've seen no evidence of it in years. there were like 5 or so people who regularly played melee netplay when /ssbg/ was alive.2. ultimate is 6 years old and feels like absolute fucking shit to play offline or online, so no one wants to actually play with each other.3. competitive smash is completely stagnant and tournaments are too few and far between.4. competitive ultimate specifically is a fucking joke.that's the long and short of it. before it died, /ssbg/ was just a few spergs sitting around a dying fire shitposting about how mkleo was literally hitler for being too bad at the game, and too good at the game.

Alright. We need a serious discussion here. What should fighting games do to retain players better and stop being so niche? Even Smash seems to not retain players well despite it's massive brand recognition.

>>507384312i know
>>507383890Competitive players have shown to drop games anyways if they aren't popular enough. It's a big reason most of the Smash playerbase refuses to switch off of Ultimate.

>Mang0 opens up Rivals 2>Can't find a ranked match>Tries casual mode>Immediate server problems>Quits the gameYeah, I think we might be cooked
>>507385487chat... we are so cooked....
>>507385487grimOh well, back to Melee.
>>507376046modern gamers are too fucking soft for fighting games. they can barely handle the concept of competitive team games; competitive 1v1 games cause them to have a mental breakdown because there's no one to blame but themselves when they lose.maybe this is a strange answer, but i think the only way to revive fighting games is to make them social again. traditionally, fighting games were inherently social. you went to the arcade to play on cabinet. you went to your friends' houses to play on console. eventually, you went to locals. fighting games are a proxy for the male desire to compete with other males, and like other forms of play-fighting (sports, for example) they're a great way to form and strengthen social bonds with your peers. the issue is simply that modern fighting games do not let your see your opponent as a peer, because you can't (or won't) communicate with them:>you can't talk to people on sf6 outside of the battle hub>like a lot of other fighting games, you can only send premade messages in rivals 2>smash ultimate doesn't even let the player taunt in quick play, which results in teabaggingetc. i don't even know if sf6 has voice chat, to be honest.if you're one of the 99% of players who play fighting games by getting online and letting ranked / unranked matchmaking match you with strangers, you're missing the social element of fighting games and gradually learning to hate everyone you play with (who hates you, too). people need to be allowed to fucking talk to each other again.
>>507386892its so crazy the difference between online and locals now more than ever, with netplay being not dogshit for the most part
>>507385487>1900 ranked player can't find a matchthis does not surprise mefeels good being a platshitter with 10s queues at all hours of the day
>>507387123i don't even go to locals, i just play a variety of fighting games with my homies. we probably spend as much time performing talk no jutsu as we do actually playing the game properly.different genre, but i really like how deadlock handles communication. obviously it's a MOBA so the developers are forced to let you communicate, but i still like it a lot. voice chat on by default, you can type whatever you want (and it comes out of your character portrait, which is funny), and the premade chat / ping options are relatively robust and context-sensitive. for every seething russian who has a mental breakdown, you get games where you win purely by the power of being able to communicate like fucking human beings.
>launch rivals after weeks of not playing>having fun>get matched against a kragg>suddenly not having funwhat the fuck were they thinking giving the heaviest character in the game an unedgeguardable recovery
>>507388076play kragg for 30 minutes online, learn just how shitty and predictable it is firsthand.
>>507384125>pick Kirby on slippi >everyone quits out on you because you aren't playing a top tier
>>507388289doesnt matter how predictable it isi jump out and hit the beam and then he just double jumps back onto stage for freeor i dont go out and he gets to pull a rock and now he can just throw it and double jump back to stage for freeand if i somehow avoid it and meet him in midair and knock him back again with anything but a kill move he can just armored roll and triple jump back to stagekragg has to get hard read/make huge mistakes 3+ times in a row to die from an edgeguard to zettermeanwhile any random throw or hit that sends me slightly offstage if i get a jump clipped by his rock im instantly dead
Can lox please please please get kill moves and confirms? Please? I don't care what nerfs he needs. Gut his fucking fair but make him like Kragg to compensate where every button on my controller turns into a kill move.
>>507392516this but for everyonegame's arent fun when you either have a hyper specific kill confirm or just hope to hit something in neutral
>>507388289i deliberately edgeguard kragg as hard as possible every time he's off-stage and also play him, he's just bullshit through and through. i don't really mind that much, but still.

>>507409454but you'd still play it?
>>507408268Roy is not a "cheesy character", he's a dog shit character. And this was unranked, or rather before Slippi's implementation of ranked. If Cody wanted high quality opponents, all he had to do was arrange matches with them himself, because that was what you did before ranked as a top player. God forbid someone play the video game to have fun, inconveniencing you.
>>507416646This wouldn't be a problem if Melee's balance didn't suck ass.
>>507416732I can't tell whether either side of this retarded feud between Smash and Rivals in this thread is sincere or baiting because both are so pathetically impotent. Is there anyone here who knows how to actually bait?
Roy is so cheesey. Enjoy your win, you won due to gimmicks
bros help I want to enjoy Lox and Kragg but their girth, their fatness, their rundunity, it's a nightmare. I do not want to be comboed twice as long as the skinny characters, only to be edgeguarded hard because they also have bad recoveries. what can be done other than just DIng out at all times?
>>507420527Kragg's recovery is one of the most dynamic in the game, in no way is it bad. You have like 4 different mix-ups, none of which require resources - except rock throw into side-B, which requires your opponent to not break your pillar. If you want to live forever as Kragg, get used to only going high or low with pillar. Never use your pillar anywhere except the upper or lower limits of the blast zone. Recovering high lets you mix up your recovery much more easily, and recovering low lets you abuse wall techs / jumps.Lox's recovery isn't bad, it's just that his mix-ups actually require resources unlike Kragg's. Try stalling with down-B before side-B'ing low. If you're lucky, you'll get a reversal out of side-B. Try to keep a magma charge in the chamber for when you're off-stage, even one is enough. If people try to gimp you at the wall with moves with either weak knockback or knockback growth, try to fair or nair as a reversal. Otherwise you're just going to eat shit while spamming up-B.

>>507456524>smash bros, a game that has been iterated upon from 1999 to 2021>The latest iteration, Ultimate, is still worse than Smash 64 and MeleeThe takeaway is that you need to develop games in less time.If someone makes a platform fighter in a single day it will beat both melee and rivals, easily. They just have to resist the urge to create balance patches which will make the game worse.The characters have to have sex appeal though, that's a necessity. It's why slap city didn't beat every other game despite being made in a week or two.BTW merry christmas fags!
rivals needs this
>>507471161nah, we need a possum character in the roster, then it'd be perfect
>>507471839i can't even find a possum character on the workshop. rivals of aether overall is very lacking in the possum department and that is a shame

>>507480518ok heres my stance
>>507481861Yeah it's becoming so plainly obvious now. I just wish they'd spent the kickstarter budget on making a better game instead of lining the pockets of Ludwig's streamer friends.
Feels like a safe bet to assume Primal/Prehistoric is going to be the monthly event for January if they're willing to show off the Kragg one along with the Etalus skin itself, moreso considering Forsburn and Orcane have skins matching the theme as well
>>507478590>a holidayTry their contracts expired like a month ago. See: >>507237329
>>507483434>that orcanehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6EoRBvdVPQ
Why won't rivals pros stream rivals 2 or go to tournaments ever
>>507487470Because no one likes the game, and no one likes Rivals players.Only Melee players are charismatic enough to get paid to play the game (for a month or so).Only Mang0 is charismatic enough to get a 1 year contract (at least 25% of the kickstarter budget).
>>507481965yeah i wanna gluck some frog dick
kragg players are single handedly the most retarded players in the gamelike they just do kragg things and when that stops working they do defensive kragg thingsno neutral in sightlike its free mmr and im not complaining but surely there exists like, one kragg player still on this game that actually plays neutralmaybe shits better in diamond
>>507480861You can definitely tell all of these streamers hated the game. The only two reasons people played it was because of 1)Ludwig paid them and 2)They are so desperate to try and prove to corporations that a competitive platform fighter can be a success.

>>507499359What tourney is this?
>>507499359Isn't this old
>>507500769>>507501536look at the tophttps://www.start.gg/tournament/luminosity-makes-big-moves-2025/details
>>507398984if only you knew how bad it used to be
>>507496303they have a set routine of really good things kragg can do, but aren't using them with any specificity or restraint Kragg is good enough of a character where that can carry you a lot of the way but once someone doesn't play into those specific things they get fucked
>>507501985can you be less vague and more specific?
>>507501714Oh. That name really sucks, I thought it was a headline or some shit. Also yeah, where the fuck is Marlon? The performative ban was supposed to be over come January, no?
>>5075017142025? So where's Marlon? He's unbanned as soon as 2025 starts.
>>507502058The fullhop constantly Immediately default to down b and rock setups at long range instead of playing that position more traditionally They're so hardwired into that shit they never fucking blockThey don't know how to shield drop or even play around that option
>>507502910>Immediately default to down b and rock setups at long range instead of playing that position more traditionallyand here I thought that using a fullscreen projectile to force people to approach was as traditional as it gets.
>>507503070Just don't do the same shit over and over again
>>507499359>4 forsburns, 4 kraggs, and 3 rannos taking up over half of top 16Nice character diversity
>>507503910Sorry, but I am not allowing my wife to participate. We will spend the new year kissing and cuddling.
>>507499359Boiko hasn't competed in like 3 months and they still give the respect of 2nd seed.
>>507499359>boiko enteringfinally>void entering>leo entering>marss enteringi don't care that the smash players are going to buster out, i'm just glad they're entering at all
>>507494047listen man, sometimes you just need a variety of dicks you know?
>>507481965>pass on ellianacoward
kragg really is a marvel of game design"what if we made a character where everything is intentionally easy. neutral, punish, recovery, edge guarding, kill options. but also hes above average at it all if not the best in the entire game"
>>507519527idk i find this all hard to believe after watching the best kragg players get 3 stocked by fleet players
>>507520441fleet is the only character in the game that can edgeguard kragg
>>507520491so why doesnt everyone just pick fleet to beat kragg? a character cannot be as OP as you described if you can just counterpick him
>>507520801for anyone not trying to be the best in the world: because its a fucking video game and i want to play the character i want to playfor people trying to be the best in the world: because it takes an insane amount of skill, dedication, time and familiarity to become world class at a single character and forcing everybody who doesnt play kragg or fleet to pick up fleet into the matchup is obviously retarded
>>507520801Because Fleet is a stupid faggot furbait OC Donut Steele tier character and I would rather struggle it out with anyone else against Kragg or just counterpick Kragg with Kragg.
zetter/zetter and zetter/fors are the only enjoyable matchups in the entire game
>>507521548i dont enjoy playing against either of those characters
>>507520491Just hit him 6+ times and he never makes it back
>>507520801because kragg isnt like that at all and that anon is just a whining shitterprolly the silver zetterburn that keeps posting shitty webms too
>>507522607lolmeanwhile in reality >>507522516
>>507522856cool so now we have a bronze ranno that cant play for shit and thinks he knows everything

Why do I always have to pick the character that's the hardest to play online? With smash ultimate I played rosalina who is notoriously difficult to pilot online with her desync combos. With melee I picked yoshi whos harder to control online then there's maypul in rivals 2 who BARELY functions online for the same reasons as rosalina but worse. Bad netcode + buffer + directional inputs with tight timing = bad time. No, I do not want to play a different character.

you didnt watch armada enough so now he's back to gaystreaming mario 64

i made the mistake of deciding to play this boring lame frustrating game on christmas
how does parrying jabs work? i had a game where i parried a kragg's jab1, he does jab2, but then he's not put into stun and just runs away from my punish and I was so confused
>>507592687Parrying jabs does not put opponent into stun but gives you invincibility.
>>507595316I mean what are the rules around when the stun is applied? do you have to do the final jab in a string?
>>507595474ye
>>507609402Why didn't you call it a Christmas gift bump
>>507610349Because it's done out of pity
I tried Zetter for the first time today even as someone with little experience with spacies and holy moly he is so EASY to play. I'm getting kills so early and effortlessly. I knew he was privileged but this is actually absurd
draining my balls with maypul's pussy
>>507561670Based. G&W is legit cancer and deserves the IBDW treatment. People who suck off mid tiers in melee legit don't play the game. It's ok to admit you're a spectator only and enjoy watching people do cheesy shit like Aklo on Link. We all get a slight kick out of it. But actually fighting that type of strategy? Fuck right off lmao.
>>507625648what youre too stupid to figure out is your problem is with the game, not mid tier players. you guys shouldve modded gnw to have a shield and fair frame data and youd never have to worry about gnw players all playing lame ever again. maybe then youd actually like the game instead of just fox falco and falcon
did zetter's fthrow use to set people on fire? or am i confused?
>>507620370>do literally anything>it just worksthe zetter special. i usually just shield and disengage whenever he's endlessly spamming dair, bair, and shine on top of me, it isn't worth trying to engage with it at all because he just converts anything and everything into 30+ damage.>>507641884special pummel
>>507625648the only difference between a mid tier and a top tier is that the top tier's cheese is actually good
>>507646304>special pummelNo, you bullshitter, you made me boot up the leak build and I was right, fthrow did in fact used to ignite.
>>507646457interesting, didn't know that
>>507646537dunno why. he really did not need that extra way to set fire.
>devs make zetter op to make sure the melee players dont quit>all of the melee players quit anywaysalmost like zetter not being op wasnt the issue (he was fine anyways)

The game has been struggling to put me in matches for 2 entire days now.
cody just said zoro is his favorite strawhat
How to tell someone is controlled ranno oposition: they go "lol fair" or "lol needle fair". The real reason everyone hates your dumb ass character is basically every other move to attached to him. Nair, bair, dair, up air, up dilt, down tilt, his throws, his smash attacks, are all giga cancer. You can literally wobble fast fallers with up airs and up tilts with 0 practice. The character is fucking Fisher Price.
>>507711634Are you talking about the whole "joining" and then the game dropping your match thing? I've had that issue off and on but eventually seem to break the curse.
>>507723617Most of the time it doesn't even pair me up with another person. It just searches for 40 seconds then stops. Sometimes it finds me an opponent and we connect but it still just stops and never puts me in a match. 2 days ago it would at least eventually put me in a match.
Bros I got a weighted blanked for Christmas and slept for 12 hours straight. My third fucking eye is open. I am Muadib. I now realize how much untapped potential Lox has.
I feel like I'm giving up hope on roa2. Nothing I can ever do matches up to the shit I can effortlessly do in roa1, it's all just guesswork and grab into hit into grab, but I know the community will never recover from 2's release, I should really give up on this piece of shit game but whatever I do I keep coming backfuck rivals of aether genuinely trash game/10
>>507646451This is how rivalstrannies actually think
>>507711634dead game
>>507734439
>>507586192Should have played Melee instead!
>>507732385I would just uninstall the game. I even have steam uninstalled too because you don't need steam to play Melee.
>>507735604im too bad for melee, the fact i played roa1 should tell you this much
>all "Rivals players" are now playing different games, like Marvel Rivals>ibdw is the only Rivals player who is still playing Rivals of Aether 2>he also has a tranny gf and fucked his motherHmm... I'm noticing...

>>507738098no niggershow me a single time he does jab1, 2 into a roll read fstrong that fails and ill accept him as a rivals player
>>507738232>he thinks that being a Rivals player is the particular playstyle one adopts while playing Rivals 2Being a rivalstranny is a state of mind. It's a persona. It's a lived experience. It is not how you play a video game.
>>507738426>the particular playstyle one adopts while playing Rivals 2kill yourself falseflagging dupetrannyyou will NEVER understand rivals 1 and you will forever hate yourself for itkeep coping, marth player
What is this jab 1 2 stuff people keep talking about? Is there a tutorial?
>>507738543>kill yourself falseflagging dupetrannylol what?>keep coping, marth playerI mean, I do play Marth in Melee, among other characters. I don't get what that has to do with anything though.
>>507739219just play rivals 1 and youll get it
>>507739219Moves that are essentially a combo or have multiple hitboxes. Like for example Zetterburn has a 3 hit jab sequence. The second swing of that sequence is called jab 2 the third jab 3. This also applies to aerials that have multi hits like Clairen's fair.

did they do something with their servers? im getting 30 more ping to everything than normal
>>507745184This desu
R2 is so bad lol
>>507757061>>507711634Nice game, Dan!
rivlastrannies literally CANNOT approach if their lives depended on it
The rivals devs idea of catering to people who want cool characters is adding retard proof characters for mashtards (zetter and the ranno)
Servers were a mistake.
>>507758918It seems Meleefriends who visit with love and support are fond of the straightforward characters with limited stage control gimmicks.>Clairen>Zetter>Ranno>Wrastor (though no one plays him)>Fleet (to an extent)Plus later on there will be>OlympiaI wonder how many of the brand new characters will be on this end of the design spectrum.
>>507757627Just play Marvel Rivals instead. It's finally nice to play a game that the devs care about again.
>>507759667I'm from melee and I play maypul but I can see why other melee players don't play her much. She's more of a rivals1 character meaning only a rivals 1 player would understand her
>>507759662so is this why my ping is garbage and im getting spikes in delay frames even on the closest server to me that i used to get <10 ms to?
>>507759662I don't understand why platform fighters don't just copy NASB 2's netcode. Regardless of the games quality, that game still has the best fighting game netcode I have ever played.
>>507758918That's literally every character in the game though. Those two are only the worst examples.
>>507761312slippi has the best netcode ive ever played
>>507759667>I wonder how many of the brand new characters will be on this end of the design spectrum.Maybe they'll just make Melee 2 like everyone wants. Of course, this wouldn't save them from abject failure. Melee is a good game that likely can't be surpassed. Meanwhile they didn't even manage to improve upon RoA1.
>>507760009>I'm from meleeGreetings!>>507761813o_O
>>507760009I'm from Melee and I play Maypul too. Rivalstrannies hate her which means I love her even more.
>>507762218Are you good with her?
>>507761813This desu
>>507762409Rivals 2 is piss easy compared to Melee, why wouldn't I be?
>>507763369Sex
>Lox can ki- ACKThis is his primary kill move BTW.
>>507764593>wasting your ledge invincibility regrabbing ledge when he's nowhere near youlol
>>507764760Nope no deflecting, we're talking about Lox's inability to kill and how shit his bair is. It sends at such a comically shit angle that Zetter probably could have survived another one from that exact position. This character is a joke.
>>507765012yeah i know the 45 degree angle is bad, i just made an observation
>>507761813>Melee is a good game that likely can't be surpassed.The more I think about it, the more I seem to arrive at the conclusion that Melee was a gift from the future. Perhaps the coders and designers were agents sent back in time to give us Melee. Perhaps the coders and designers were unknowingly provided Divine Vision to See the gift from the future. I don't know how it happened, but Melee was not of its time period. It is an Out of Place Artifact. There have been several attempts to replicate Melee's greatness, and no game has ever been successful. Melee is simply too good to have been an accident, which is the current story, and instead it must be some sort of Divine Intervention or gift from the future for us to have received it in 2001. Melee is actually the endgame of platform fighters, literally from the year 20XX. It is the Apex platform fighter that is eventually created, but it was sent back in time in a sort of time-loop, because without Melee being made in 2001, we couldn't have the eventual Melee (Apex of all platform fighters) made in the future, in year 20XX.
>>5077655751994-2004 was the golden age of everything tech, but especially video games. It was some sort of perfect storm, couldn't have happened any other way.
pretty funny how you can just spam roll instead of having any fundamentals or sense for neutral
>>507767103It works with every character because they all have identical frame data. Same for grab!
this game had so much potential... sigh
>>507767103wutroll is honestly a shit option in rivals 2
>>507769836Maybe some day fighting game players will realize you can't just hyperfocus on perfecting gameplay and expect people to stay.
>>507774943are you saying its the players fault
>>507775056Yes. They are the ones fearmongering the devs with shit like "This game would be good if they nerfed x" and "If this game played like x game it would be better." It's a never ending cycle.
>>507775274it's the devs fault for listening to people who dont know what theyre talking about. the game is worse because of the devs listening to retards, not because of retards. its their game. they are responsible for its turnout, not the player. also all of those guys complaining are wrong and my complaints about the game are correct
ever since i started playing fox ive enjoyed melee a lot more
clairen would be cool without her stupid gimmick. just let her hit people with the sword and do heccin cool platform edge cancel combos.
>>507776762yea marth is cool
>>507776762What if instead of pausing the opponent she just moved that much faster?
>>5077803592cool4rivals
He gets triple the views streaming this meme fotm game. He's never coming back...
>>507775274Melee is a better game and it makes you seethe
>>507775896yea fox is cool
>>507782405maybe $250k wasn't enough to play the dogshit game...I know that if I were him, I'd be renegotiating. No one knew it was gonna be so shitty.
>>507775510I've made better games in a single afternoon.
>>507766532This desu

>>507765575Also this desu
>>507783997>>507784105So trueI love Melee!
>>507783881>Melee>10/10 game made in 9 months>Rivals 2>6/10 game made in 10 yearsIt's honestly pathetic desu
>>507777962>>507783161TRUE
>>507761813Finally, someone said it.
>>507761813>Meanwhile they didn't even manage to improve upon RoA1.It's very sad how true this is. All they managed to do is slightly improve upon Ultimate.
>>507759662>>507760147>>507759667Slippi has great netcode
>>507784915I'd rather play Ult with friends because at least there's a few cool characters like Wolf and Pikachu. And its fun for casuals.
My complaints about this game are all correct and if the devs were to ever listen to me and not anyone else this game would easily top melee -the uninteractive playstyle is too good compared to any other playstyle. Buff other playstyles-remove buffer and rework the entire game around no longer having it -hard nerf recovery AND buff edgeguarding-cancel that wrestling character that won the workshop contest and pick the snake looking character instead -remove the restriction on using a tilt after a dash -add more default calibration controls specifically one that mimics melee -add an in-game controller calibrator that allows you to set deadzones for every button from 0-100 -give the game the exact same speed and punish game rivals 1 has-add shield stun, the ability to tilt shields, shield poke, and a slowly depleting shield just like smash -fix parry. Apparently the startup frames are too much or something idk There, game saved and improved
>>507785148lollmaoperhaps a rofl or two
>>507785148>deadzones for every buttonWhy do your buttons need deadzones?
>>507775274fighting game players are all massive faggots with goldilocks syndromenever happy
>>507786649I'm happy with Melee. I feel bad for you guys.
>>507784921It doxes you though.
>>507788630mhm sure
>>507784921This desu
wife wife wife
>>507400960>does this salty crybaby tantrum playing against a character thats bottom 6 in the game>gets destroyed by an unranked casual DK a couple of years later in what most people call the biggest upset in Melee historyKek, I guess he should have played more low tier characters instead of camp against them. Could you imagine anybody like Armada throwing a KWAB tantrum over what other people play, especially mid and low tiers?
its almost 2025 and combo devils is still ugly as fuck
>>507798593buddy, I don't play these games for the graphics!
>>507427056maybe i myself should draw this
>>507799129So you agree?
Wife's younger sister.
this thread as been up for a long time.reminiscent of ssbg's last dying days
a common phrase amongst 1400+ players i hear is "i guess i shouldve played more lame"
>>507785452because i dont need the L input to come out after accidentally putting 0.0001 pressure on the button.
>>507821531shes unironically hotter
if you touch wrastors shield for any reason your character just disappears off the screen. i think that;s the most broken thing in the entire game. you dont even need to be at a high percent to die to his upb oos.
>>507400960Remember, IBDW has proven himself to be an honorary Rivals player. He does not have the soul of a Melee player, he has the soul of a Rivalstranny.
>>507841989nah that rivals player is right. until he starts implementing actual rivals tech in his play, he is still a melee player at heart.
