Fighting games are my favorite genre. This game is a fighting game lovers fighting game. Especially for the tag fans.

A great art style, some really unique character kits so far, free to play, I can play it with my friends, high skill ceiling, the Fuses allow you to play in different ways, so far the balance has been fantastic and the devs have shown they understand the real problems champs have (don't @ me,) reasons to keep playing (BP,) all characters free in training/offline, strong system mechanics that don't take away from the actual character uniqueness and actually enhance them instead. The balance between how strong offense is and how strong defense is is genuinely perfect. The people that complain that the game is too offensive focused just straight up don't use the system mechanics. Push Block, parry, retreating guard, multiple rolls, multiple air techs, an invincible wake-up attack, etc. There is a ton of room to mater different aspects of the game, from system mechanics to characters to different fuses to movement. It's really like a fighting game sandbox where you get to play the game the way you personally want, even ignoring the tagging aspect if you really want to.

This is a game that someone who loves pushing themselves in fighting games can explore forever. The biggest issues are monetization, bugs, and lack of characters. Skins/Bundles need to be about 20-30% cheaper, bugs need ironed out ASAP, and I can't wait to see what characters are getting added and how interesting their playstyles will be.

The games bones are great. It just isn't a 1v1 game and people are actually fucking babies who would rather complain incessantly about the idea of having to learn two characters or god forbid actually defend against a block string for longer than 3 seconds, rather than actual just play a video game for fucking fun and learn how it works. Also many former UMV3 FGC players and EVO winners are grinding at it so that's definetely a plus.

Riot must be the most retarded devs. Also how long before people start calling them out for including their skin rotation shop bullshit in the "upcoming" sections of their post.
Also if you don't play tournaments or give two shits about skins. This game has as much "live service" content as fucking DNF duel.
>>
>>561582612
DLC Character rate is normal. Skins and Battlehub slop are getting pumped out like crazy, which content are you looking for instead?
Xbox is the way this gen. Less lag for all games and nothing bothers me so far.
>>
>>561583468
Your game isn't crashing left and right?
>>
>>561583826
No, not once. PS5 is just straight up ass as always and you're doing Xbox injustice for grouping them together as consoles. Even that screen tearing is a Sony exclusive feature. I saw XboxS running 2xko clean by default too and there's an easy fix if you don't like the looks in pic related.
1f-2f less input delay for 2xko, Sf6 & Tekken 8 too.
>>
>>561582612
>Examples like the Illaoi tentacle issue from 1.1.3 took a lot of internal discussion on whether we should drop everything to fix it, or whether the affected players could find routes around the issue temporarily. We ultimately never want to put players in this position, but in this case, we opted for the latter and worked on fixes for 1.1.5 to avoid a domino effect of delays.
Get fucked illaoi fags, she's nerfed for both evos at this rate I think

Oh nvm, got my patch numbers wrong, it'll be fixed by Evo rip
Going by the other patches, I'll bet they'll nerf her tentacle options when they fix the bug as "compensation"
>>
>>561582612
It's becoming more and more obvious that they aren't giving the 2xko any actual resources to fix things and is just letting it coast on the bare minimum until they announce eos next year.
Or I hope to god that's the case because otherwise the 2xko devs are even more incompetent than I thought.
>>
>>561574673
we already knew that. laid off devs were tweeting shit like "i got her nerfed as much as possible"
she's going to have easily accessed unblockables and full screen 50/50s for the first 9 patches of her being out, labeled "working as intended," kill in two touches (or 1 touch if you do freestyle double down bs) and their first bunch of attempts at tuning her are gonna be just as ineffectual as everything theyve done to ekko
cant wait for this shit to become completely unplayable when she drops

Almost all applies to cait and she should have been the Hitler broken menace like she deserved to be, so I hope akali at least gets to win out
>>
>>561591860
im telling you senpai cait is one big patch away from becoming hitler, and she is absolutely going to get buffed obnoxiously because she's a favorite and the pros bitched and cried a LOT about her being "bad"
akali being another fan fav on par with yasuo and ekko leaves me quite excited for the next batch of darius nerfs and "no changes to blitz he's perfect as-is"

kind of surprised she's not immediately getting one. the arcane skin from the bp is mid as fuck and barely changes her (other than showing off her ass) and chromacrash is... decent i guess but not really what i imagine people would be after

it's so hard to make a matchup chart for this game since tags are available even after a character dies. i was fiddling with making one for darius and i was about to put braum in "easy" but like, without blitz he's probably actually just below yasuo and ekko. hmm

Riot fixed Ranks this season. This late into season 0 everyone was Grandmaster and all were hot garbage.
Now there's a huge skill gap between the Master's to Grandmaster with GM being a decent match for Challengers for once.

Everything Riot does in europe needs to be stopped. This is like Cotw level of money burning but not even fgc notices their spectacles.
They're hosting an Austria exclusive 2v2 only tournament series with a free evo vegas trip for 1st. Another 10 people tournament but their delusional win that bracket to get into that bracket to make top 4 cut ruleset is hilarious considering just registering is already guaranteed top 4 and half of those tournaments will be unattended.
There are 4 qualifiers + the final.

Exactly 1 team (tournament winner) qualifies for the final from each qualifier.

From each qualifier date, 1 duo qualifies for the grand final in Salzburg. Duos who participate in a qualifier but do not qualify are also allowed to compete in other qualifiers.

May 2nd in Vienna at Open World
May 5th in Graz at FH Joanneum
May 16th in Linz at last by schachermayer
May 23rd in Salzburg at Level Up
The final will take place on May 24th, 2026 at Level Up Salzburg.

Tournament format

Each qualifier consists of 2 phases. First, a Swiss Stage is played (the number of rounds depends on the number of participants). A top-cut team (the size of which depends on the number of participants) will then compete in a double-elimination tournament to determine the tournament winner.

In the final, the top four teams from the tournament (one duo per qualifier) will compete in a double-elimination tournament. The seeding will be as follows:
Winner Vienna vs. Winner Graz
Winner Linz vs. Winner Salzburg

He's thinking the dlc rate for normal buy in fighting games.
You know the ones that got arcade mode (with actual cut scenes and voiced dialog) , special matches (extreme battle, Tekken ball, etc). There's other shit to do in those games between waiting for dlc drops.
Riot let the 2xko team release a bare bones free to play game with NO arcade or single player content outside of training mode, a 30 dollar battlepass and over a month between any sort of updates let alone content.
If your live service free to play game has no content other than characters and skins every 5 months. What the actual fuck are you doing?

3)the merging of lobbies made it so you can be in a 'lobby' with people you can't even communicate with

Speaking of tournaments. Clearly riot learned by now that money hatting prize pools doesn't translate to player growth right?

I've been playing LoL since it released, I know what I'm talking about, well... I quit in 2017 cause game became too ass, and when I look at its current state I'm proven right. They are adding WASD controls and autoaim alongside it.
There is someone trying to decompile an old version of the game, maybe we can escape riot's retardation one day.
For 2XKO don't expect anything good to happen ever, I warned a friend that went ham into Valorant when the game came out, he reached the highest rank, was a big fan of the game, then riot fired the main designer and turned it to shit which made him quit just like I predicted.
The difference I suppose is that 2XKO never had a good designer and was always badly balanced, but trust me, with riot it can only get worse, never better, even when you think the balance is at the bottom, riot always proves they can go lower.

It's YTP edit 1st and frag move or flex whatever you interpret it as 2nd. c'mon that's hilarious editing >>561698920
>>
>>561700069
this, notice how they didn't back down on akali's shitty design even though even the league casuals were complaining 24/7

throughout their history riot has made insanely retarded decisions but extremely rarely backed down on any of them, when even the pros that were on their paycheck started complaining.

biggest example is them changing the ranked queue at one point so that any amount of people can queue together instead of a max of 2, which led to you queueing alone against 5 people that were on discord communicating like pros and with a lot of experience playing together completely shitting on you, or the great thing of getting matched with 4 premades that would trash talk you all game and report you for fun.

anyone with half a brain could tell this was a bad idea, but not riot. it took them months of every player and streamer melting down to go back on this, can't even remember one time before this where they went back on any of their braindead decisions

one thing to know for anyone new to riot games is that they are good at telling you what you want to hear but never believe them, when they say shit like "it's for the players", "we are players too", it couldn't be further from the truth, these people are californian psychopaths, they will tell you how you should stop being mean in chat while cheating on their wife and farting in people's faces
>>
>>561700069
then you remember things like
>we're gutting pantheon in the same patch as we're releasing his dragonslayer skin but we're not saying so in the patch notes because that will affect sales- erm, uh, actually we just forgot to mention. and yeah you caught us but we're not adding it into the notes retroactively, it'd be, uh, confusing for new players
>atmogs
>tank fizz being unkillable and doing more damage than anything
on and on
riot has never been good at balance, they have always made a show of shitting on the playerbase and calling them retarded (200 years!!! and they're still doing this with the fucking card game lol!!!)
i think you may just be nostalgic for the era where the playerbase was worse at the game
>>
>>561700963
>can't even remember one time before this where they went back on any of their braindead decisions
Almost all the fucking class reworks, which were rolled back except for like three or four characters which coincidentally were the only ones cancerous to play against until they were nerfed, again except for Darius and Garen because they are easy to play and so allowed to be turbo broken and thus noob killers
>>
tbf in fighting games, while it's a mountain climb, low tier can beat top tier.

Theres a new duo specific tech, duos can mash tag launcher on block to try to punish moves since it has a big hitbox and since they won't get assist call on accident like a solo player would since they can't call their own assist in duos
Sonic used it on ahri to punish vis rekka overhead I think earlier
>>
>>561701553
I can't say they were ever good at balance, but it was never extreme, it was moderately bad.
You mention talking about a time when the playerbase was worse at the game, but that's a complete bias that happens in every game for some reason but not in any other medium.
For some reason people start believing that old = bad, new = pro, you don't see this in music, literature, movies, only in games for some reason everyone new thinks that everyone old was bad, I saw this so many times, people in 2016 thought that players from 2012 sucked, people in 2020 thought that players in 2016 sucked, everyone thinks they are the best players the game ever had, which is untrue, the game always had bad and good players.
The problem is that the majority of players in any game will always be bad, like 70% of the playerbase is gold rank and below, so the chances are that the people who talk about old patches were shit at the game, and by combining that with forgetting things since so much time passed they talk about certain things as if they were beyond broken, like AP Yi and DFG, when in reality they weren't broken at all, they just seemed strong to the average player who doesn't even understand the concept of counters, back then and today too you see people countering themselves in champ select.
And this is the kind of people you hear from...
Not only that but I found that LoL players are really low iq, and on top of that suffer of dunning kruger, so it's really hard to have any conversation with them because they have bad takes and think they are right.
Besides that the people that still play LoL today are animals, anyone with half a brain quit long ago, so if you ever start a conversation about old LoL these animals will show up and tell you how actually the modern game isn't so bad, while the old players have no interest in the game and won't join the conversation, so it's always one sided.
>>
>>561702525
Both are hitting 500+ movement speed since the stupid Mythic Items rework, which they also ended up rolling back after finally balancing it correctly.
Fuck Garen reaches 650+ with a good setup.
It's the same shit as Yi, you know you can deal with them, bot the rest of your brain dead team mates... except you can at least CC Yi and that's it, these two are tanky as fuck and doesn't give a fuck, specially Garen with his CC reduction.

Diaphone is the only eceleb I hate, since he actively steals money from the playerbase.
Like dude, riot constantly gives him early access to patches and he joins every early tournament and cashes out.
When the closed beta released the guy entered 2 tournaments at once, like absolutely no shame.
You can't even make the excuse that he's a broke nigga trying to get out of the hood, this guy had a chemical engineer job...
Truly disgusting behavior.

>>
>>561747264
Still impressive considering most content creators can't reach highest rank for the game they stream/commentate 24/7.
>>
"Now, all FG I played that I remember, I put them by best to worst:
\-Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (PS2)
\-Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Budokai 3, Infinite Wolrd (PS2)
\-Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (PS2)
\-Dragon Ball Sparking Zero
\-PlayStation All Stars (PS3)
\-Multiversus (RIP)
\-Bloody Roar 2-4

I can say that 2XKO is the worst one. Problably cuz its the only tag FG I played and I just now realize I dont like tag FG. The worst thing I hate in this game is probably Warwick grabbing move after doing a super tag, along Teemo and Cait, since those just spam and its annoying AF.

Anyway, I'm now just playing some days, don't really want complete the BP anymore, Iwont probably buy it this time, (I got the S0 BP). This is the only game I play that has a BP I dont really care anymore, I think its one of the worst BP in any game.
I'm waiting for the Avatars Legends The Fighting Game."

This made me realize the type of people I discuss our game with. Helps to take stuff less seriously and leads me to only be chatting in game and irl even further.

yeah but that guy is a minority
>>561751091
>who are you trying to fool
no one, I am just saying you need those casuals to keep a f2p game going, paid FGs can deal without them because they get money upfront which pays for the game, you also get to own the game and can play even when the f2p dies and gets taken offline

>>561752097
>>561752272
I don't know if you guys are too familiar with riot, but TSM, their biggest american esports team was gonna go bankrupt and riot bailed them out cause it would look bad on them if their best team would die like that. An ex CLG manager confirmed this.
They are willing to spend money to save face, and they are a very shady company.
>it wouldn't stay hidden for long and just look really bad on their part
They don't care about that kind of stuff, the co-founder of riot marc merill unbanned a booster to boost his account's rank, then bragged about his new rank on twitter. And then when people found out about it, he said sorry and donated $2000 to a non profit that was actually run by him with the purpose to further improve his rich neighbourhood.
This is the kind of people we are talking about.
>>
hehe, bet people here dont know that the early champs were mined from an ideas section of a dota forum. teemo is one of those confirmed stolen ideas, and riot shamelessly put up a blog post about how they came up with the idea for teemo and it goes something like this "it was a wild west back then, we dont even remember how we came up with him"

they could have stfu, but they went out of their way to make a blog post about it
>>
>>561752559
>They are willing to spend money to save face
when they have money and its worthwhile, 2xko isn't worth saving at this point, Riot will just quietly stop supporting it, like the current support for tournaments? not gonna happen in year 2, they don't give a fuck anymore they have to get profits to please tencent.
>>
damn if only riot had some way to monetize 2xko's content other than just in-game stuff
such as for example oh i don't know, maybe letting me buy all of the cool merch they give away at cons. instead of having to go to a reseller. so i could have a cool little acrylic stand of my favorite characters. and i'd even buy two of them, because i play two characters
but no they'd rather make money by.......... dumping it into the tournament scene
...???

2xko would have been fine if they launched with at least 20 characters, the game was less buggy, they had more alternate costumes, and the cosmetics were cheaper. With the a.oint if dev time they had and their resources, this was all possible but they fucked it up.

i'm also not attacking tokon, i'm making fun of the retards who think a tag game with literally 8 characters involved in every match is going to be palatable for people who think 2xko is too much

the slop character picks were the actual reason

i'm unironically betting money on yasuo and ekko buffs
some real "now that we've hit the problematic parts of these characters' kits (lie) we can focus on making them better!" type shit
and blitz nerfs + braum nerfs
>>
>>561931785
Yes, throws are OP. Especially at higher levels
>>
>>561931785
throws are too strong universally but the dogshit big bodies need them to be worth hitting because they already are literally relying on strike/throw
the characters with actual mix or zoning don't need strong throws but blitz darius and braum all do
illaoi's is also probably ok just because it's not strong w/o a tentacle
>>
>>561931785
I think they should scale HARD. From what I saw today it was nearly a free character.
>>561931984
I think braum for sure will get nerfs, but Blitz no. Maybe Darius buffs

uhhh... bro? open your eyes

>>561976492
Nice thx. I like that variable frame data based on how high you air block and cancelling blockstun on landing makes for some weird knowledge checks. Better punishes then from parry at times. But I get how this can feel more random than a rewarding skill.
They do be trying to make those 22f overheads worse ob and oh it seems
>>561976672
Come on this is just exaggerated
>>
>>561978132
It isn't just variable data based on how high you blocked. Every single move has an arbitrarily decided on-block frame data against an airborne opponent. Some of them are set the same but there is no universal way of knowing "I blocked a -5 move in the air? Now I'm actually -7" or similar like every other non-Marvel game.

every teemo i have ever beaten with blitz/darius is so horrifyingly bad at this game that they should legitimately pick up a new hobby, one that isn't even videogame related or competitive. what the fuck. this matchup is literally not playable for darius, and that was with him having jinx assist. i try not to post things like this but if i'm beating someone this good at the game with a character i don't even play i'm sorry dude that shit is 9:1 it is HUMILIATING to lose, as a teemo main, to darius and you are fucking AWFUL if it happens to you

nah i can't lol
these devs are fg players and fg players hate grapplers to hell and back, if he gets any buffs they're gonna be placebo same as all the prior ones and his s2 is still going to randomly lose to projectiles
idk what they would have to do to keep me on the character, it's a shame bc the reset stuff he enables is hilariously cancer but why would i bother playing 2v1 when i could just pick a real char and start playing 2v2

Indeed! She's Storm in most games really. Rivals, Midnight Sun's, Ultimate Alliance 3. She is the best. Her and Yone were also in MK1 as Sindel (also in 11) and Rain. So they got that fighting game experience. A lot of Evelynn comes out through Sindel kek

1'06 she can wall jump (maybe cling?) after certain specials, like chipp
>>
0'09, without smoke, her teleport ends in an afterimage effect with a lot of recovery
1'14, inside smoke, her teleport ends with an extra poof and cancels into an attack immediately
this could be the devs hinting at her teleport being laggy without smoke

i don't think i've seen such a sauceless game lately, not even COTW

I'm addicted by that trailer alone. For 5-10 weeks we'll get a BBCF degeneracy level character till she gets gutted.
>>
the trailer also didn't show her comboing from j.kunai, except when it counterhit a throw whiff
it potentially might require assist to combo from
>>
her 'fast fall' doesn't seem very 'fast'
it seems to be ~27f, then her 2L is 7f = ~34f to react to the low
>>
>>562089560
oh yeah the cloud that goes fullscreen haha :)
>>
i believe her overhead is 24f, making it best-in-class
all of the other comboable overheads are 25f or slower
pre-nerf warwick was 24f, which is now 25f

There's 3 completely different Draven champions you can put into your deck, they just banned the best one.
Also the actual best card in Draven you can't put in your deck, it's the passive you get for picking Draven as your champ and you can still run that
>>
>>562094816
if smoke protects your ally it could be that. or perhaps a delay projectile similar to a faust bomb that your opponent has to respect
>>
>>562094710
i was theorycrafting some potential teammates for her double teleport
>stuff > teleport1 + assist (hits crossup) > teleport2 > stuff
it'll be really convenient to have an assist that causes enough hit/blockstun for her to combo/pressure after the second teleport
and darius tackle assist does exactly that

It's a bad design for akali. If it was someone's OC it would be fine.

>>562100831
I think it still looks better than 90% of her non-origin looks. Even if I don't get why they gave her the undercut

Akali has a dash through move like yas dash through/assist, could that be her forward assist?

Same. I've been thinking of a way to give it an actual weakness, but all I can think of is taking away assist actions and pushblock when you lose a character.
>>
>>562123034
maybe they could go all in on it being offense based and make it to where you build break gauge slower with it, or even make it to where you don't get fury, only break
maybe add in "you can't use supers after second tag" to make it to where you can't just use double down type bullshit without actually having double down? disable tag launcher since you get an extra handshake instead and that's way stronger?
>>
>>562123280
That or building meter slower too. Didn't they say they didn't want people to "graduate" to Freestyle? That's how it feels right now.

no matter how fucked up and busted akali ends up being, i don't think she'll annoy me as much as ekko purely because her gameplay will feel more intentional
my biggest issue with ekko is how 90% of the time it feels like the other player doesn't even know what they're doing and isn't making choices, they just mash shit uncontestably and hit you straight up on accident

You know for a game that touts being a beginner friendly game there's a lot of specific timings in these combo trials and I guess combos in general. Can't just dial it up and if you press something too early your shit just won't come out.
>>
>>562166009
the combo trials are generally made to be more challenging than a typical bnb, especially the expert ones, but yeah, some of the stuff in this game is genuinely pretty tricky
>>
>>562166124
Well I'm doing Darius expert 3 and here I thought you could just mash the M after forward S2 to do the bnb I see most of them do only to learn you can't actually do that.
It's just like "But why tho?" It's not hard to do.
>>
>>562166009
Pulse + no motions VS low ranks doing the same is an easy entry.
Even without pulse the floor is low because you could learn one a > b > c > launch > jump a > jump b > jump c and go for it from any hit and do maybe 25% less than optimal route.
Ceiling is high though especially for certain characters their max dmg route is barely human possible with them flipping out due to hitstun decay cuz you partial charged or microdashed for 2 unnecessary frames.
With a new theoretically optimal route for each distance to corner, when op will build break or adding break bait points based on their habits, trying to avoid cornering yourself while comboing if they break, when to tag out because point got 0 bars and assist 2 bars, needing limit strike for meter or 10% extra dmg and worst of all air juggle height. Factoring all of this in while trying to remember hitstun decay for getting an airthrow or 2 projectiles connecting in one sequence is an autism level skill.
>>
>>562166009
It is beginner friendly, there's pulse combos and no motions, you can play a large majority of the game without ever needing anything more if you really wanted to if you understand how the mechanics work and can just win neutral every time
>>
>>562166009
because it isn't a beginner friendly game at all, they genuinely thought removing the motion inputs would be enough
>>562166124
using one of the few things new players can use to learn to be challenges for sweats is very very stupid when your game has nothing else to it
>>562166805
>It is beginner friendly, there's pulse combos and no motions
these don't help, the game is fundamentally not beginner friendly
>>
>>562168774
>using one of the few things new players can use to learn to be challenges for sweats is very very stupid when your game has nothing else to it
idk if youre a tekken player or what, but this is the case with literally every fighting game trial mode in the modern era
they're called trials or challenges for a reason, are often not even slightly optimal, and exist to give you a challenge
>>
>>562168774
Fighting games aren't beginner friendly. All of them get parked into a second game half of single player content barely related to core gameplay. They are expected to be flushed after campaign or mash mindlessly once a month to post on social media how they started from cocksucker III to assdicktaker IV with 20% winrate.
We all got here with countless hours across the genre and 3rd party guides teaching us to enjoy it. Can't dumb it down enough to be able to learn it intuitively without any conscious learning effort.
>>
>>562166737
Yeah I get that, but like you said there's microdashes, timing your button presses, air juggle height issues. That stuff I don't think should be in a beginner friendly game when defense is already a mountain to learn.
>>562166805
Yeah I guess you're right putting it like that, but I guess I'm thinking of the newbie that wants to get better, but then is like "Why doesn't it combo?" "Why are the falling out?" Etc etc
>>
>>562169441
Removing potential depth for beginners who won't care no matter how easy it gets is proven to be stupid. Alibi auto combos and removing motions is helping beginners where they struggle the most early on to hook them on potentially learning shit later down the line.
There will always be the next step of this thing too hard and pls remove but all it did so far is ruin its reputation among its core audience and funny enough make dunning kruger type low level quarter-circle experts dismiss it for being too easy.

I'm not saying that they will drastically change a new player and help them win just by using them, the ease of access is beginner friendly for someone just starting, who can hop into a match and play without needing to learn much about optional or hard combos
Now ranking up and consistently winning however should not be beginner friendly ever in an fg or really in any vaguely competitive game, and it isn't since there's a lot of mechanics to learn in all fgs.
Even apart from the fg basics, from what I've seen in around plat and emerald and below in 2xko, like 90% of the people don't ever use the system mechanics, they won't use their double down fuse and super tag in neutral once in a game, let alone anything with active tag. there's a ton of tools you can learn to use better without ever needing to learn any harder combos

i think this has to be the first teleport character i've seen where there's not even an animation at the start of the teleport, she just does it and THEN the smoke cloud happens... as you're already being hit... the visibility on this is way too fucking low. you might as well straight up put your controller down once she makes you block a normal

the designers doesn't actually care for league of legends, it's just an IP to mine stuff from, its obvious they rather be making some modern looking sports themed stuff with how the rest of the game looks, Akali is just the result of that.
And it was probably approved with the caveat that her actual design is a premium skin later down the line.

i wanna learn the art of degenerate. parry, retreating guard, pushblock would be broken defense in any other game. but offense is 10x as broken
>>
>>562221760
offense is so fucked in this game that even though it's got so many defensive options, half the cast just ignores them and it doesn't even matter
imo, that's where the actual split in the tier list is: characters that are affect by pushblock go in bottom half, characters that ignore it very easily go in top half
>>
this 2XKO patch NEEDS to address the following:
assists staying on hit ( in general)
being able to tag out post hit/after you've been hit
tag parry in some degree
charging moves post tag( vi s1 teemo 6s1 Illaoi 2s2) ( these also all stay and keep charging if the post is hit)
throws doing TOD damage? please get rid of this its just not fun
>>
>>562223541
>being able to tag out post hit/after you've been hit
post getting hit yourself tag out makes you unable to block what would a cooldown on top prevent?
>throws doing TOD damage
this the most likely thing they'll remove but hitstun scaling seems already high and without handshake tag it's very character specific what you get. some need tentacle or charged clone and super or they can't combo at all and even then they'll do 300dmg outside of corner.
>>
I'm new to fighting games mostly, played casually throughout the years but I barely know some basics.

I was master in league of legends back when I played and I want to reach the same level in this game, how would I go about learning to get to that point?

The game isn't intuitive to learn by just playing, and the videos I found on youtube are too simple and don't help in understanding what I'm supposed to do in the game.

Personally I think Brian did a good guide but it's more targeted at people with a basic understanding of fighting games trying to migrate to 2xko but that's a common theme can't think of any guide starting from 0%.

Might guide you through who you find interesting to play as so far and how to approach learning with them on my own
>>
>>562226628
Thanks, I will look through those videos.
Currently I was mostly focusing on Caitlyn, but the Akali champion spotlight made me want to take the game seriously, so I think I will go with her.

From the looks of it I'm not sure if there will be any synergy with Caitlyn Akali.

Akali seems ambitious as she has quite the loaded toolkit but you'll get there eventually. Might make sense to stick to solo Caitlyn on Sidekick/Juggernaut fuse with auto combo/pulse turned on just to get a feel for movement, blocking jumping moves high and way more often low if the opponent is up close. Get used to blocking after being knocked on the ground because the opponent is always able to act before you. The basic in game tutorial isn't too bad either.
>>
>>562227412
Thanks, I've tried watching this guy's videos in the past and he was pretty boring, but I'll give him another try.

>>562228242
>Might make sense to stick to solo Caitlyn on Sidekick/Juggernaut fuse with auto combo/pulse turned on just to get a feel for movement, blocking jumping moves high and way more often low if the opponent is up close

That's what I'm doing currently based on some youtube videos I've seen, but honestly I've gotten pretty bored of autocombos.
I'm almost used to doing an anti air, sometimes I get overwhelmed by too many things happening and by the time I think of anti airing it's too late, but it's probably going to get better the more I play.

For blocking I don't know how to get the enemy away from me, I know there is the mechanic that pushes them away, but every time they just immediately get back on top and usually hit me with something cause I can't block forever.

That's the game. Blocking most things is more or less equivalent to getting hit, there isn't anything you can really do except pick a direction and pray.

Holy fuck imagine if they give Yasuo back his mix. Him and Akali would be disgusting.

if I were to use logic then the next character after senna will have to be a man since they added too many women, and he will have to appeal to women who will buy skins, braum was probably added for that cause he's naked, but that didn't work, so my guess is rengar to also appeal to the furry audience.

well on my end ill be fixing it by going from playing two half characters into one .5 character and one 1.5 (maybe even 2) character

>>562252018
okay whiny salty bitchtears post incoming
it feels bad playing a character that doesn't do anything unique in a game where other characters are turning invincible, airdashing, looping unblockable setplay, getting shit like illaoi tentacles, etc etc meanwhile the one unique thing my guy has had to be taken away because it's "not interactive enough" and now they show us akali who is about to be possibly the least intractable character in the game
at the same time my game experience is very limited to three characters so my perspective on its balance is very different from someone who plays idk "any top tier + whatever personal favorite"
it's hard to tell if im holding myself back or just not trying enough or if im playing in a way that the devs actively don't want me to play or what

i just need to log off for a while and relax

no i mean like animation wise. when the characters do their combos it feels stiff, almost like someone learning how to dance and methodically counting the steps; things don't flow well from move to move except when you go into a super. I think it's most noticeable with WW's otg bite.

i know i have to get used to timings but something feels so off about this game and how stiff, yet sloppy it feels.
>>
>>562229636
>but every time they just immediately get back on top and usually hit me with something cause I can't block forever.
Don't think of push block as a win defense button and neutral reset by itself imo especially against some of the fastest characters, if you don't take advantage of push block and do something the opponent can just run back in and force you to keep blocking.
think of it as giving you space to press something and a chance to try to go on the offense, be prepared to follow up push block with another button when you do it, especially if they're prepared to react to push block and try to run back in immediately and restart their offense
Say for cait blitz, if I'm on cait and push block, a lot of times I'll immediately go into her s2 giganter Kai super and double down tag out to blitz to stuff their offense, other teams have specials they can do that achieve the same purpose, and at worst you can just stick out a 2m or the like and try to catch them running into you

>akali fags should've made a much bigger stink about it
riot trained them well to be cucks about any champ, they always get reworked with different looks, different lore, different abilities, it's just the name that stays the same.
akali already had that done to her, I used to main her for years before the rework, she's the reason why I first got platinum back in 2013, but I can't stand her reworked abilities.
every time a champ gets reworked a bunch of tourists will also show up and shill about how the rework is so good, then give up after a few days.
akali after the rework is very similar to old baiken as in there's a lot of "fans" and very few players. I personally know a few people who say she's their favourite champ and they never play her.
>>
>>562278161
This is true. I knew a guy who tried to convince me (a katarina main) that the rework was great and way better than the original. He never played katarina, not before the rework, not after.

I hate these kind of people, they always have to give their stupid opinion about things they have no business in. You can kind of see similar things in Strive where troons try to convince others that their game is better than the old ones, even though they never even played the old ones.

3 frames are artifically added on top and removed for long distance online. That's the secret as to why US vs EU is tournament legal and 200ms matches barely mess with muscle memory.
Bad communication on Riots side as always

WAHHHHHHH

Maybe not less than 100 left for 5 days. I'm so proud

Patches always dropped Tuesdays 12 EST but can't remember when maintenance was finished. Is 7th April 2pm EST unrealistic for Akali?

Alive fun game...

I really hate this game its so fking unfun
the bullshit long ass combos, the huge fking hitboxes, the zoomed in camera, the inexistent balance...

DEAD SHIT GAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Character balance is diverse at high level now and they know what they're doing pumping out stuff every 5 weeks. No game has balance if this ain't enough
>>
how many flat chested, dyke haircut wearing champs do they have to release before the game becomes popular?

Haters seem desperate for their last chance cuz Akali was well received
>>
>>562304294
>Akali was well received
Peoples reaction has been her design sucks in comparison to her actual league design and people fearing she's Ekko 2.0, she is not well received
>>
>>562304294
I tried to get a LoL player who likes akali into 2xko and he said she looks like a man...

Here are my problems with this gaym:
1. Interface is all over the place, hard to quit the game, hard to go into training mode, hard to find anything.
2. Lobbies are a waste of time and add nothing to me as a player.
3. I feel no weight from the animations, it all feels flat and unenjoyable to play.
4. The camera is too zoomed in, the hitboxes are too large. You would expect that in a game where 1 hit can lead to a movie length combo that the camera would be zoomed out so you can have clarity on what is going on and that hitboxes wouldn't be twice the size of what they should be.
5. There's too many buttons and no motion inputs makes abilities feel unsatisfying.
6. Fuses shouldn't exist, the devs couldn't decide what the game should be about so they threw all their ideas into it and made you figure it out instead.
7. Active tag is the worst design decision in the game and makes it hard to tell what is going on in an already cluttered game.
8. The netcode is all over the place, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it lags a lot, I have gotten more unstable matches in this game than in other modern fighters.
9. The input lag is too high, once again, you would expect that in a game where 1 hit will kill your character that the input lag should be low but no, I can feel how any button I press feels sluggish, and very often my throws don't go through, so I can't react to things, I can only predict.
10. The characters are sauceless, they all feel like dumbed down versions of characters from other games or incomplete with little synergy in their kit.
11. The music is obnoxious, fighting game music has gone downhill for a long time, and this isn't quite on strive levels of bad, but it's still bad, I had to turn it off.
12. The skins are too expensive, I can pay $10 at most for a skin if it's really good but no more.
13. Should have been a 1v1 game.

Akali full move list
https://youtu.be/5cChQ_H5zp4?si=AeouonZElwWTqtcS
>>
So we all agree Akali needs to be nerfed right
>>
>>562316687
Yes slim chance she got Akuma health and all of those hits do 1 dmg each.
>>
>>562316280
Her 2h looks so bad, and she doesn't even have her dp assist as an actual move, unless her 3h is decent at anti airing she might struggle with defense

My favorite fighting game ever that killed enjoyment from other games for me
I’m writing this because I love this game and want it to succeed, but it feels like the developers don’t understand what makes this game fun (for me xD ) talking from my vibes
I am an EU grandmaster Cait/Illaoi main. I’ve even beaten some guys with Liquipedia pages. I just can't play other fighters after 2xko, they feel boring to me. I have hundreds of hours in other fighters, and this game absolutely wipes them out with how unique every round feels for me! I’ve found myself in a lot of situations where I’m just creating and adapting my combos/pressure/oki on the fly. I love that it feels VERY unsolved to me. I love seeing combos and set-ups that people come up with!!! Also, I love all defensive mechanics, I genuinely, even unironically, feel like it’s the best defensive game on the radar right now.
Sadly, it feels like no marketing is being done? I’m still seeing people who think the game is dead because of that “we fired half of our team” post. The wording was the worst it could be... no way this was written without malicious intent. No 2XKO button in League’s launcher? LoR died for this and we still learned nothing....(Obiviously im not seeing numbers and etc. but it FEELS like this from my viewpoint)

Low skill level but decently sized 10-30 people per game. Tastes vary and neither DBFZ or Marvel ever took of there.
>>
>>562331694
Ah so it's being overblown as usual. Can this game get through a week without some bullshit popping up kek
Surprised DBFZ never took there or Marvel with how much people jerk it off

Let's be honest, if an employee tweets like this you know the game is cooked
>>
>>562334763
it's pretty funny that no matter how much they try to advertise the game, literally nobody knows it's out unless they were already interested
how does that even happen
>>
>>562335217
Non fgc couldn't care less for a new fighting game and fgc got bad press raped by the same engagement engine turbo killing cotw and more to come.
>>
>>562335703
i dont think cotw "got killed" i think cotw is an snk game and those never EVER have big playerbases
>>
>>562335869
ofc snk games and tag never attract huge crowds but with high expectations both established people feel forced to try or justify why they're dodging 'em beyond a "this ain't for me" and you start spawning funny shit like ronaldo rape in2010 n dev time.
>>
>>562336931
it's crazy because even if they didn't push the whole ronaldo rape thing... like, it's still "random irl celebrity forced into your fighting game cast and eating up a roster slot that could've been ANYONE else"
>>
>>562337083
No one but the corny FGC cares, it had no bet effect positive or negative and didn't affect dev costs because the Saudis already own Ronaldo's soul basically. Please move on.
>>
>>562337754
if you're making games for a specific audience, you should do your best to please that audience
we spend so much time talking about how shit 2xko's roster choices are, of all the threads to defend "we put some random soccer player and dj in cotw" this ain't the one lol
>>
Noticed my nemesis bug is fixed: season 0 if you savestated with a dummy on roll set to random it would be 100% the same whenever you replay. We can lab now

arcade stick fag getting filtered. Practicing to call forward assist while wavedashing back twice into charge forward s2 to not use ekko clone puppet hold into tag super jump back down forward fireball tag back super jump forward teleport down forward for overhead. on hitbox i'd just release my index and ring finger twice.
can someone explain to me why my clone disappears if i handshake back into ekko but only if charge s2 does the crossup roll?

>>562338069
Nigga... COTW has much better balance 1xko, way better QOL than 2xko, is releasing characters way faster, and has way less input lag. And also has a better run competitive circuit for more money. In top of being discounted often. They listen plenty, shut your dumbass up and stop talking about games you don't know shit about.
>>
>>562346449
you're taking "cr7 and salvatore are bad additions to the roster" way too personally there buddy
>>
>>562346968
The characters are well designed have had zero impact on sales. You should have just shut the fuck up and kept talking about 2xkuso.
