50 Tips and Tricks in Rivals of Aether 2

[@the.duck.is.ronin.]

Actually, Ranno's F-strong projectile was one of his Abyss Runes in RoA1 which was added to his base moveset in RoA2.

UM AKSHUALLY 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@koopakape]

@@BebehCookieIcecream leaving interesting info in the comments section of a vid is not the same as "UM ACKSHUALLY"-ing someone, you spaz

[@hammyman]

​@koopakape bro it is NOT that deep

[@Bupboy]

​@@hammymanbut you know what IS that deep?

[@GabrielAidley]

I know this isn't an "um akshually" moment, but KZbin's feature where the top comment of a video is always previewed right below the video before it's even started is really fucking frustrating. Employees needing to justify their paycheck to make KZbin ever worse.....

[@Ghaust8546]

Woah, I actually learned a lot from this. Rivals designs are so genius man

[@frigomaniac]

another fors tip: using empowered neutral b (the huge smokescreen) restores your double jump. if youre new to forsburn and think his recovery is kinda underwhelming, that should help a bit

[@BowlerSSF2]

Oh wow that's sick, I didn't know that one

[@frigomaniac]

@@BowlerSSF2 it works that way in r1 as well

[@daserfomalhaut9809]

The character transitions were killing me here. lmao

[@ThunderToast97]

I was about to say the same thing~🤭💛

[@cardboardleaf7971]

some of them had me *dying* /pos

[@PurplePikminSupremacy]

3:08 The squeaking of the basketball shoes adds SO MUCH to this clip. Excellent editing, and great video overall!

[@artifactdota6462]

Not sure if this is common knowledge: but if Maypul throws her acorn at Terry or Lilly, it refreshes their duration.

[@superdotnsw]

the fors section definitely should've had the fact that holding side b disables the clone from jumping, forcing it to go low. its useful for threatening low recoveries and mixing up your landing when you teleport to smoke high on stage. the rest of the tips were very useful though, this is a great video!

[@BowlerSSF2]

Thank you! Funny enough that originally was tip #50 but I really wanted to show off the new side special clone toss since it's new to Rivals 2.

[@superdotnsw]

@@BowlerSSF2 yeah i figured you already knew, i understand the sacrifice for a nice looking number on the thumbnail though. godspeed, get those clicks goat

[@mikearturo6164]

Omg, I’ve been wondering how people do that because my clone would never go down. Many thanks

[@frigomaniac]

ranno up b can also be angled which is new to this game. it works the same way as mario's up b works. angling rannos up b backwards without reversing gives it way more vertical range, almost allowing ranno to go straight upwards

[@jonathannushi9183]

Long time rivals 1 player here, very thorough vid! Learned about a few new things that they gave some of the characters that I didn’t know about

[@yacobo4397]

Number 11 was so surprising, I have NEVER seen anyone do it.

[@CardboardBones]

I've seen it happen accidentally during a ditto, but I've yet to see it done intentionally. Give it time, though, and I'm sure people are going to do some gross plays with it!

[@koopakape]

I've been playing him all week and had NO idea this was a thing

[@Djindas]

Peak profile picture, Deejay SUPREMACY 😎

[@techos6111]

Character transitions were hilarious

[@johnleecooper8520]

"theoretically someone could do a combo with this" is my fav kind of tech

[@Geotiger123]

More Orcane tips: -Hydroplane (the turnaround boost) can be done with not only strong moves but also; grab, shield, spot dodge, and parry. -You can orcahop (up special) even while puddle out if you hold shield button during up special animation. -Down-special is not the only move you can affect the angle direction of bubbles; In fact, all bubbles moves can be influenced. Up throw (left and right) and Forward air (down and up). F-air downwards is especially important against characters that low profile like maypul.

[@homeyworkey]

bro is carrying rivals 2 yt content on his back this is high quality my guy keep it up

[@cyprienramis1304]

Other small tip with Orcane, if your oponent is spamming their projectile or AoE just bubble butt through it, it wins against most special moves and it'll force your oponent to get back to using their normals.

[@quintissaviengvong2371]

Small tip with ranno, you can use side b to boost off of the down b bubble to help recover

[@d0ggy947]

wow rivals 2 truly has some sick stuff, great video all along, i love how quickly you explain things and the silly stuff in between :)

[@wftghw]

Fleets float can be triggerd by pressing down in the air while holding jump. OR *if both jumps have been used. Dont hold it press jump a 3rd time for float

[@Magibatproductions]

I didnt know zet down b gave your jump back. Thats awesome

[@atypicaloddity]

Ranno's UpB DownB also gives you your UpB back after a moment

[@ZachStarAttack]

remember that with the lox 0 air stall that if the first time you use it, you should hold completely towards the stage and not just down and forward to the stage so you can maximize drift.

[@quintissaviengvong2371]

The tipper on the first hit of clairen fair is strong so make sure to hit fall in between to kill earlier

[@quintissaviengvong2371]

Kragg’s normal pummel resets the grab cooldown so you can chaingrab if they don’t read which pummel you use

[@DAWGIESZ64]

7:27 yes it was it was just an abyss rune

[@pityflip]

Great tech and tips! #5 is the real deal

[@melon9660]

Keep making content, this is fire

[@thisbox]

It's not that often that I consider picking up a game at launch, but maybe Rivals 2 will be an exception to the rule.

[@koopakape]

Yeah, and it's half the price of most new game releases, and the devs absolutely deserve it... go for it imo

[@Hanasitt]

Don't forget all the dlc is free as well

[@maxjello2003]

Did not know a lot of these! Cool video!!!

[@NoahAgyeman-Badu]

Bowler more like best KZbinr ever

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

More like Baller. lulw

[@bailujen8052]

5:54 The birb lol

[@alexoxo9008]

ROA2 IS AWESOME!!!

[@Bupboy]

6:36 Odd art style choice for rivals 3, but hey I think it has potential

[@professionaldogblogger587]

for ranno's sliding backwards up-tilt you don't need to moon walk, you can just dash, press walk mod button, hold stick the opposite direction of your dash, up-tilt. It sounds hard but it's reallllyyy easy

[@wophful]

i like learning stuff but also, words cannot describe how fun it is to accidentally do something and find out that way.

[@AJ-Captain]

very helpful!

[@Dr_Wazlop]

I can already tell this video will go down as a rivals 2staple

[@petrikillos]

0:15 THAT'S ME O.O

[@Car5yn]

There are so many things you can do with these characters. You guys should never say my characters don't have sauce.

[@HoglesYeah]

wow this video helped alot. Thanks!

[@aplsed]

3:42 Extension to this: if you up-taunt on top of a rock, the shards will shoot downward. Sadly, they don't spike

[@Inari_YT]

that ranno hand...

[@kirby260b3]

With foresburn empowered clone if you press b the clone will attack on command and you can also use his downspecial when there's no smoke for him to absorb to turn around midair

[@FieryAnubis]

Man, Forsburn is so much fun.

[@Bearinguard]

You forgot that Kragg has now the ability to Grab people with the Rock throw either while he is in the Air, or his Rock is out.

[@patricksciortino3643]

duuude every char in this game is so awesome i love this game already

[@AntonioKurban]

9:12 orcane can also angle his uthrow bubbles

[@De_an]

BOWLER IS PUTTING OUT VIDEOS AGAIN!!!! WE ARE SO BACK!!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣

[@sakarain]

Damn all of this is so sick

[@Phi24]

1:40 PITY MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ DUUUVVAAALLLLLL

[@bailujen8052]

If any Aether character were to get their own game based off their design, I believe a Forsburn Stealth game can be cool

[@SuperDominicS]

My favorite game of 2024 and haven't played it yet

[@AlphabetBackwards]

The Orcane turn around up strong looks like DACUS from brawl

[@IsaacG97]

3:30 It’s important to note too that Loxodont’s special pummel will create a magma spot where youre standing. Does anyone know if you get the changed down throw after doing the special pummel?

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Yes, you can do that, I just tested it. You gotta be fast though or you won't make it before Lox lets go.

[@Subpar]

me and pity were smokin mad reefer freestylin at gote i love pity i love pity

[@dannyohare3645]

I wanna see arcade mode videos especially of Ranno and Kragg.

[@raykh5635]

Do you have any plans for a beginner guide for all the people who are new to platform fighters?

[@DynamicLemons]

backing this game and forgetting i could play the game before release was a good idea

[@Theovates]

nice

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Hilarious intros!

[@nexonus9513]

New bowler just dropped

[@painter5391]

Pity flip is cool

[@smashdriven1640]

This video is fantastic! I’ve never seen anyone do that super high frog jump with Ranno before. That’s new to me. Also, can anyone explain how to moonwalk? I was told to run forward and then do a half circle back with the stick but that doesn’t seem to work.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Ppl don't do it bc it's slow.

[@gene_eggman]

0:15 How do you do this?! This is so amazing!!

[@petrikillos]

The clip shows Fair->B-reverse (using neutral B)-> Fair-> jump-> Fair-> Dodge->UpB->Wallhop orcahop (these last 2 are not visible in the clip)

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

UPDATE: I could do most of these in training. The Lox ones were especially cool, thx! The Ranno ones are really hard. Old comment: Looking at this insane list, I'll never mater this game. oof :P

[@pokeaust7800]

9:32 the shape of that smoke is kinda sus

[@BowlerSSF2]

This was unintentional, but now that you point it out im surprised I didn't realize while editing.

[@chw14556]

Ranno mains rise up!!

[@quintissaviengvong2371]

Fleet’s regular pummel gives food

[@TributeClub-kd1dn]

Tip # 51: add a CPU player to an online match

[@sage3583]

Got anything for input delay? I always feel like my inputs are slow

[@Evil_Melvin]

How do you knock yourself down at 9:38?

[@BowlerSSF2]

Pressing taunt in the air causes this, can be somewhat useful

[@misanthropiclusion]

god the game really needs a tutorial for characters there's so many individual special things each character can do that others can't, good video amazing game

[@frenzy.S]

hi can u explain how to needle canceling? i tried everything but i dont get it :(

[@pinkmann5158]

Has it come out ?

[@TollsterMensch]

This game is really difficult to learn if you never played fighting games competitively tbh. it is fun and feels nice to play but there aren't really any good tutorials in-game to teach you about the tech-y side of things

[@jmac9895]

Bowler is my goat

[@RealJB003]

Can someone please answer? Does Rivals 2 control well with a switch pro controller? It’s all I have

[@1234pokemonrulz]

how do you jump cancel upsmash with kragg? it looks like you dont jump at all there sorry if it's a stupid question i'm new to the game

[@BowlerSSF2]

No worries! It can be pretty confusing if you're new. Basically you can jump cancel into an instant upstrongwhile your in jump squat (this is the animation before you leave the ground but start a jump), letting you immediatly upstrong out of sideb, it's the same way you do an Up Smash Out of Shield in Smash Bros, or up strong OoS in this game.

[@1234pokemonrulz]

@@BowlerSSF2 ahh gotcha thanks! i am a decent (lol) smash player but still wasn't even aware you could cancel a jumpsquat, the more you know haha

[@thecrispyburrito1575]

How do you moonwalk

[@slenderMax28]

Tap forward to dash, then roll the stick down and backward

[@xguitarist_]

⁠@@slenderMax28in rivals you can roll up and back instead letting you moonwalk platforms

[@DrunkenPumpkin626]

​@@xguitarist_ you can do up and backwards in other games too, but a lot of people use tap jump. More than you think

[@xguitarist_]

@@DrunkenPumpkin626 true, I forgot about that

[@sourkroutt6517]

bro i thought your clairen and your tag were familiar in the coinbox 😭😭

[@chorizord6974]

Is this game comming to the Switch?

[@PlayfulPiano]

hi bowler

[@couchbrogames7499]

How many characters?

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

I wonder how many of these are actually intended.

[@timbosqueeze8174]

I JUST WANT MY FROSTY BOI!!!

[@efp7247]

This game is way too complex for a normie like me 😂 however thats a good thing cause in like 5 years the pro scene will be doing some insane tech

[@Nootathotep]

Rivals of Aether 2 seems cool and everything but I can't see it getting RoA1's best asset. Because everything is 3D, modding will be difficult.

[@BowlerSSF2]

True, but there are many benefits to 3D as well, such as more freedom with alternate game modes and also some models from other games being possible to port over.

[@3Hunna-sosa]

bro do an ssf2 video

[@BowlerSSF2]

I’ve got some planned, but since Rivals 2 has just released I’m focused on it for the moment

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Floor hugging. Oof.

[@Chengi]

Dartboost*

[@marvinmetellus7919]

Realy cool but i'll never play it since its not on console

[@VyStarixOfficial]

Thr devs confirmed it could come to consoles after a year or two
