[@grumpyw01f19]

Please keep making Rivals 2 content! This game is bringing together players from all over the platfighters, and so your amazing commentary is needed for all the great competition and stories in this game!

[@atWisely]

Hey Walt, big fan. Did you know that Zetterburn's fire used to do 2x knockback, but was changed to roughly 1.5x at some point after Rivals 1 early access? (Roughly because knockback scaling math is weird so it's a general estimate. I'm so sorry you had to find out this way, the video was great 😭)

[@turndownforwalt]

Wisely why would you do this to me

[@TheKoen640]

was about to say this. although i thought it was 1.75x but i might be misremembering

[@imDxne]

please one of these for forsburn 😓

[@RiahGreen]

I thought it was 1.2x huh!

[@NormalPunch-]

👋Hey, I'm the guy who made the Rivals frame data site. It was awesome seeing it being utilized like this! I'm so glad that people are finding it useful : ) It's wild that Zetterburn's strong attacks send twice as far if someone is on fire! Great to know. I can't wait to learn how far other characters' gimmicks send you.

[@KrispyKorpse]

I would say my only big critique of the video is that when showing hitboxes, you didnt pause on any of the frames so it was super hard to actually see what they looked like. If you could do that for future character coverages that woule be helpful. Great and informative video otherwise

[@turndownforwalt]

Duly noted! We had to kind of crunch on this for a sponsor deadline but will definitely keep this in mind if these get enough reception and we can do the rest of the cast!

[@braxaculee]

Completely agree with this good video otherwise

[@50andURnotLOLOLOL]

I think anyone that likes Melee will like Rivals content. The game is undeniably sick.

[@TheBeggies95]

First game in my life that makes me stop playing melee to play it. Insanely good game

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

Yes! More Rivals content please! No other game has brought smash heads to a different place quite like this. Ultimate and Melee players are playing same game. It's truly magic.

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Aside from PM any way.

[@xtinaxendrix]

roa2 is lowkey just legal pm, 4/5 of pm's starter stages and the brawl techs are all here

[@Hirokal72]

Super glad you're dipping into rivals 2. I absolutely love your history type melee videos and hope that you'll do them for rivals in the future as more tournaments happen 🙏

[@Technaci0us]

As an oldhead melee player, I highly recommend playing Rivals II, it is SICK, no clunkiness whatsoever.

[@TheBeggies95]

Same

[@DrunkenHotei]

16:30 - To be clear, the up-special is what puts you into special fall-NOT the airdodge (unlike Melee). I see a lot of people neglect this in their recovery options. I still forget to do it frequently as well.

[@turndownforwalt]

Airdodge before recovery was the worst muscle memory to break when swapping between Rivals 1 and Melee LOL

[@actuallycarter]

The reason I decided to main sheik 4 years ago was because you already know it’s Kira (ssbm tutorials) described sheiks combo game as a constant di mixup. I thought that sounded so cool and I have been a sheik main ever since. I hope these videos provide the same inspiration for new rivals players! :D

[@jaredjohnson7678]

This is, bar none, the best character overview video I have ever seen. Simply amazing! Subscribed and can't wait for more of these for the rest of the cast... Cheers!

[@cyprienramis1304]

A few things you didn't mention : Down tilt can combo depending on DI and percent either into up strong, up air or forward air Up strong is also a combo tool at early percent since you can easily get it out of dash attack and even out of down throw or up throw on some characters, and it leads into 1 or 2 up airs Due to the first hit of down strong hitting behind it can easily catch oponents off guard if you moonwalk into down smash Nair can be used to shield pressure if your oponent is a bit far from you because it can cross up Fair can be used as some kind of a wall of pain and sourspot makes fair combos into itself even offstage Also it's not relevant to learning the character but Zetter ditto is probably the funniest match up in the entire game

[@DrunkenHotei]

@@cyprienramis1304 A fantastic addition to the video. This comment deserves more attention.

[@cyprienramis1304]

@@DrunkenHotei thx :)

[@noahjohnson1364]

As far as feedback goes, I would love to see tournament preview videos for Rivals as well as Melee/Smash in general. As someone who has been spectating the scene for years on and off, those videos always entertain me as well as reignite my interest for the game.

[@Pro9Brisk]

Agreed man, it helps to keep me in touch with the competitive community

[@whitekj03]

This guide is great, thank you. I've always had the problem in plat fighters of playing everyone, and only ever winning random MMs at tourneys lol. Zetter for me is great against the slower ground speed characters. His shield pressure and advantage state are great at overwhelming people. He's not my "best" but I get the most 3 stocks with him because you can rob people so early with a hard read 😂

[@CardboardBones]

I would love to see more character breakdowns like this. The explanations of *why* a move is good or bad, or what they can lead to, is very helpful for me

[@Twisted_Logic]

Super excited to see you making Rivals content. I love your style of video, but I'm much more of a P+/Rivals player than Melee, so it's awesome to see more videos from you more directly relevant to my interests!

[@corvax8644]

Rivals content is so fun definitely keep it coming

[@aydenpeele747]

Excited to see more rivals content, I loved the editing in this video too!

[@ltcambrose4034]

Great breakdown as always. Really enjoyed the vid and i'm looking forward to more. if i can give a couple notes: - the name of the moves are a little big and at least during the down-strong demonstration, it cuts off vision of the backward hitbox. not a huge deal but id recommend either putting the move names at the top left, or just shrink it a tiny bit. - it would be awesome if when you show the hitbox demonstration against the black screen, you show the slow motion frames a couple of times per move. it wasnt always easy to see the active hitbox at full speed. i suppose we could reduce playback speed on our end, but if its not too much hassle, it would be a cool addition in future breakdowns. nitpicking aside, this video is dope. looking forward to more.

[@agentjp106]

Even as someone who hasn't played Melee but loved Ult and has begun appreciating the Melee scene, I'm super hyped to see Roa2 content from you

[@combomamba]

Literally just bought Rivals 2 the other day, this couldn't be more perfectly timed. Can't wait for the Ranno video!

[@VishnuKumar-nt5oy]

Little aside, love Nala. I find it amusing that she always looks guilty lmao

[@dmfyre]

im so incredibly hyped to see you making rivals content

[@wophful]

We need more rivals content. I’ve been learning by watching melee content and transferring the ideas to rivals a lot of the times it helps but sometimes it isn't 1 to 1 at all.

[@KrispyKorpse]

Im pretty sure they don't sent twice as far. They used to in like early rivals 1 so they killed at like 60, but all the kb in r2 had its basis starting in rivals 1, which had a minor knockback scaling increase (in comparison to doubling kb, it's still super strong). The kbs in r1 (on ustrong for example) was 1.1 and increased to 1.3 (if those numbers mean anything to you). Also it's a 5 second watch time comment so if it's outdated than whatever lol

[@justintownsend4555]

I love Rivals II! super excited for you to bring your talent to talking about the game. I think/hope that Rivals II and Melee can coexist and help each other thrive.

[@EliTheGleason]

I love this game SOOO much. I'm the biggest fan if platform fighter grappling and no game does it better, the special pummels, focus on unique throws and combo tools rather than only kill throws (though I wish there were a few more doctor mario yeets), all around just awesome

[@Beastmd]

His head during side b has a hit box as well, if they don’t CC an up close side b will combo the head into the fireball

[@mattmarlborough3607]

Huge! Please keep doing amazing content like this about Rivals 2. Would love this on the whole cast! Guarantee I’ll watch, Walt.

[@aviator2777]

For the sake of making these "intro" videos for characters, I think you actually might go a bit TOO in-depth on the moveset analysis. I think it would be more pragmatic to hit major frame data highlights and quirks of the moves, or different ways to use them. Knowing that pummel hits on frame 10 isnt really all that helpful in teaching new players what his gameplay looks like and how to use him.

[@PlantdaddyTKB]

Now that ive seen the whole video i would watch one for every single character probably 3 times over. Incredible break down

[@werewolf4925]

Really nice, hope you continue with this for the entire cast!

[@yaboi_burrus]

The Flamingo remix is the reason I don’t skip the sponsor part, love it

[@neutral6854]

Extremely well made, would absolutely love to keep seeing this kind of content.

[@jackrailroad]

A wonderful intro to the carector, I would love to see tournament recaps like for melee, but this cool too

[@aceofspace8180]

I look forward to seeing more of these videos, I've never played a smash game beyond as a party game but Rivals of Aether 2 has been on my mind to potentially try it out.

[@BlackHero20]

I love seeing you covering rivals 2. Id love to see more of this!

[@WrestleCat9]

Very happy to see you're making Rivals 2 content! Please keep making more!

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

As a zet main in rivals 1 and now a lox main with a pocket zet in rivals 2. I actually feel zet wins the lox mu. The amount of pressure zet can put on lox is very hard for the character with bad oos options to deal with. I also feel the maypul and fors mu has not changed much for zet from rivals 1. Which is to say he loses those mus. Fors has always been a BIG struggle for zet and maypul is, well maypul.

[@ProxxiP]

Yes yes yes!! i love this game and im so glad more of the melee community is getting eyes on it! Maybe do a video on Orcane next? Cutest character in the game and everyone knows thats the only stat that matters

[@pikachutobal]

This video format takes me back, I miss Kira's videos so much

[@PennyFizz]

Holy moly, this format is a throwback that real ones Already Know :)

[@SneeZSmash]

turndownforzetter

[@ziwuri]

I've heard Clairen is a good character for beginners, would love to see a video covering her

[@thesound51]

Love the look at Rivals 2! Definitely interested in the game, just not sure where to start so a series like this would be very cool

[@Peeves22]

If you're going to go over frame data/hitboxes, pausing them so we're better able to see them. Otherwise, amazing overview of tools and holding my breath for the Clairen episode!

[@hafwit3088]

Just wasn't enough time for that otherwise there would be!

[@soriso717]

I’m very glad to see you do ROA2 content since personally that’s the game I’m more invested in currently Hope ya do videos on his brother Forsburn, I feel like I’d need a degree to get good at him

[@greg4055g]

I like rivals content on this channel, it will get to my feed more reliably 🙏 excellent vid as usual

[@Fudge_bc]

Rivals has been my first foray into platform fighters. Quite a departure from tekken and guilty gear, but ive been having a blast. Go team Lox!

[@crazysam2350]

Awesome video. 👍 If you keep doing rivals character bios like this I'd love to see an orcane video at some point.

[@shunawoah]

please keep making rivals 2 content! this video was so good and i would love to see more!!!

[@Dmzorowe]

This video has me convinced to get rivals II. Had been on the fence but it seems the game is both fun and has enough people playing I won’t be out my skill depth 😅

[@Ariamaki]

Definitely keep this up, very excited to see more!

[@Ultoman10]

Love the rivals content. Would be great if some videos were made about the beat players from rivals 1 because alot of melee players only know about mang0, hbox, etc

[@unbr0ken878]

Hey, did you know zetterburns strong attacks send people twice as far if they are on fire? I love walt making rivals content! Please keep it up, you are the best!!!!

[@davoman9118]

I just got an ad for Mufasa: the lion king. This is the first I’ve heard of it. That’s so funny that yt clocked a video about a talking lion should get an ad abt a talking lion.

[@lassehuusmannknfler3524]

first time viewer. i think there is a need of more of these. but what i think it is missing the most, is a combo guide, so if u incorporate that into the video, it would be amazing. maybe some routines to practice, to get a flow for the character.

[@ghost_of_kurdt_haunts_my_room]

loved the video! can't wait for more Rivals content!

[@tahmiduddin1868]

Never watched anything about rivals but I know this is gonna be a banger

[@samharper2399]

Love the Rivals content for sure, and imo you do a great job delving into how this character works. I will say I think it may not be wise to get into the minutiae of frame data given that this game is going to undergo several patches. I worry that some of the video could quickly become outdated

[@turndownforwalt]

Yeah I thought about that as well but also figured just a “is this your character” would be a bit too short and/or shallow for what I normally like to do on this channel (plus I don’t know if it would’ve worked with the sponsor). Will have to think about other options!

[@mayaknopp39]

Hey, Walt! I am 8 minutes into your video and I am literally so happy. I was an apex casual Melee player who eventually stopped playing and just consumes Melee by its content on here. That being said, I am committing to Rivals 2. As someone that thinks you're at the top of platform fighter essay content, PLEASE know that I LOVE this. I actually really just admire your content in general. I write video essay scripts, BTW! It's not platfight content, but I'd be willing to shop my most recent one with you and and work on another channel entirely if you wanted to be its face. Being solutions-oriented in nature, and me having parasocial GENUINE respect for you content and thinking, maybe you are the creator I've been wanting to work with! DM me on here if you want to talk shop. Have a great day!

[@darkstriker80]

Good video very nice. I would however suggest you that when you show the hit box’s you slow down the footage a bit so make it easier to visually see the hitboxes themselves since some moves go really fast.

[@riplix20]

14:15 not anymore, our stubby boy couldn’t be allowed a disjoint to challenge ranno B-airs etc

[@Nebuchadnezzar_Hekatonkheires]

This was really nice! Would love to see more videos of RoA

[@shimabotplus]

id love to see more rivals content ! this is very entertaining

[@mataiosithymos4602]

Would be such a boon to have someone as diligent as you put out some high quality Rivals content. Here's to hoping this type of thing does well on your channel and we get to see more in the future

[@turndownforwalt]

Thanks! I'm definitely gonna keep my eye on the reception of these, if they do well then I'll be ready for more!

[@gediboy5695]

I love his recovery. Lot of mixups

[@thero_1686]

This genuinely would be great! I wanna see anything about Ranno, honestly😄

[@LostCoin1]

I dont know what order you are going in but i will be excited to see the second video on youtube that mentions wrastor

[@BlackCat633]

Gotta do Forsburn next, he's Zetters brother so it makes sense

[@omaraguero]

please keep making rivals 2 content you are an amazing creator🙏🙏

[@Beastmd]

Sour upair is actually pretty godlike. It’s a really good combo extender

[@TForgery]

Would love more Rivals content after this! Gimme a guide for the froge

[@gatztopher]

TIL that Zetterburn's strong attacks send people twice as far if they are on fire

[@RittenYT]

grrreat video, would love to see more rivals content

[@vossboss220]

You know I got to wonder why did they give him a tail hurt box at all if it's going to be Invincible at all times

[@humble_ape]

I'm not very good, but I am really enjoying this game. I played a little of rivals 1 and mained zetter. I'm maining forsburn in rivals 2. I'd love to see one of these for Fors!

[@AllBladesCut]

dan already has bro blocked

[@minizimi3790]

Hoping for Lox next. And make it clear that Lox’s optimal taunt is teabagging in center stage.

[@clancy2535]

Love the Rivals 2 content. Keep it up!

[@CantBeBtanH]

Yesss, Rivals 2 content!!

[@gravityvertigo13579]

Would love to see more of these!

[@censored116]

Cool we both play Mario in Melee and Zetter in Rivals2

[@heyitsmort7744]

Love to see the rivals content!!

[@Lykrast]

Yaaaay rivals of aether 2 let's goooo! Can't wait for my tendinitis to be cured so I can actually go play it.

[@KrispyKorpse]

I've picked up zetter burn as an olympia player in r1 who was playing her since she was a workshop character. Zetter's the best a masher substitute till she gets added but man does her weak recovery feel painful at times

[@Inosculated]

Really digging deep, SSBMT looking title, FSG esque thumbnail, really combining both eras of that teams work (Not meant to be a dig, good video and good title/thumbnail I just noticed the resemblance and it made me happy)

[@christainwebster8487]

Hope you do the other characters really enjoyed the video ❤

[@DrunkenHotei]

Yes! I'm very hyped to hear a trusted Melee source explain their perspective on RoA2. I think this game has a great future, though it needs a few balance patches to resolve some really annoying factors (recoveries have too many options, multiple factors promote defensive play, kill conversions and reliable edguards are too hard to find at

[@67kingdedede]

Lox = ike + ddd, maypul is a frankenstein of all sorts of things

[@sakuyarules]

"Now that Rivals 2 has shields, you can just play the same way you would in melee with dair shine ad infinum." Yeah I know 😢

[@HastyMang0]

Nice video! Anyways did you know that clairen tippers doubled the hitstun of her moves? :D I think you should do clairen as your next character because I said so and I'm definitely not biased

[@YEETRivals]

That’s neat! But did you know Zetterburn’s strong attacks send people twice as far if they are on fire?

[@atypicaloddity]

I would say to do Forsburn next, but he needs a lot of love to master and should probably go last

[@yorkhamburger5564]

Wouldn’t mind more rivals content, seems cool!

[@perturbo4253]

I'd love more rivals 2 content. The more attention this game gets the better!

[@Havlark]

WALT IS MAKING RIVALS CONTENT

[@jaredl954]

yes more rivals content!

[@midnalight6419]

Personally, I want to play clairen, so having a video that goes over her would be great. Selfish of me, I know. Thank you in advance

[@Wherezz]

Do clairen next!

[@Jhowar04]

Great video, plz do these for every character
