Olaf should be called "Professor Olaf" due to his extreme level of paying attention to details of fighting games' mechanics including philosophies.

[@UltraChenTV]

We already call him that. Look up his videos on the official SNKronize KZbin channel he’s literally Professor Olaf there. Haha.

James Chen y OlafRedland saludos desde México, excelente video !!! 😊😊

Good to see a break down. A few notes: Hotaru had air turn in garou. Preecha's suggested combo goes from C to EX combination. Tizoc has a hitbox on Olympus over on the way up (not sure which version) assuming he keeps it on the EX version he can potentially guarantee AA damage (albeit for 50% rev) by ex olympus over (if they JD) cancel to ex icarus crash. I kinda think everyone has a neutral skip assuming they have a safe on block ex special (Hotaru may get ridiculous since she should be able to confirm cancel ex spin to either fireball on block or launch on hit).

[@MikeSpraggOlaf]

1 - I told you i dont know shit about Hotaru, thats good to know, thank you! 2 - yeahhhh, i felt like an idiot when i reviewed the footage lol 3 - GOD I HOPE SO THAT WOULD BE SO RAD 4 - by the neutral skip part, i kinda meant within the engine, not on character-by-character, but yeah time will tell on how much which characters can abuse things

[@raionbomber75]

I think Granblue Rising has a pretty good battle pass. It's a character costume so you know if you wanna go to the end or not, but during that grind you get colors, in game currency, character art that changes the selection screen, and 2 music tracks from mobile game. There are challenges you can do daily and weekly for points, and you can do that for two weeks, you complete the pass.

[@MansMan42069]

Abigail from SF5 should be a guest character PUSH IT TO THE REDLINE

[@koalawithchaingun53]

I thought that was UltraDavid for a sec

[@OzonebxGaming]

He sounds like Tru Underdog

[@sleepydan9818]

If they add Robo-Geese in this game, I won't be mad at all.

[@666slateran666]

Excited but intimidated at the same time. OG garou 2 is SO HARD to do basic and intermediate combos. Hope the faint system doesnt break my brain. Also i dont feel it necesarry to constantly compare it to street fighter 6. Its definitely doing its own thing and seems even wilder mechanically than SF turned out

[@MorganAndrew-Morganson-nu5oc]

The game looks fun; will keep my eyes on it. The controls and mechanics for the game seem a bit hard to wrap my head around, though. It would take time to get used to. I would have a problem if they added premium currency--particularly if something cost 600 coins/gems/tokens, but you could only buy them in packs of 500. I stopped playing SF6 and Tekken 8 for that reason--and because of the latter hiding their shop for a few weeks, I may wait for about 1-3 months when it comes to getting new fighting games to make sure. Not crazy about that or battle passed in paid games, either. Fingers crossed this game will be enjoyable and successful.

[@MansMan42069]

lol

[@666slateran666]

Lame we gotta wait so long for this one, ive been over 15 for awhile now. Still "salty" that i havent messed with hinnako even though ive bought her over a month ago lmao 😅
