Diesel Legacy - How to Choose your Main Character!

[@Rooflemonger]

Diesel Legacy is finally out TODAY so I figure lets celebrate its launch with a classic Choose a Main style video! The characters are the strength of this game as lots of them are animated beautifully and are just dripping personality (You will like Eleanora and Damkina, trust me) so give the vid a watch and see what its all about! Game is live on Steam/Playstation/Xbox/Switch, yes it has rollback, yes it has crossplay, it can be 2v2 and you can play on the couch together and go into ranked, and the demo on steam even plays with the full version of the game!

[@Rooflemonger]

Man if I did a "new character of the year" video kinda thing, it would absolutely be Eleanora. She's just oozing personality, I remember the first time I saw her I was blown away. SAY HELLO TO THE BOYS

[@eliholland1365]

Roll them bones 🎲🎲

[@appleflutter]

So cool she makes me not mind playing a zoner

[@G0rgar]

I was 100% convinced she'd be my main in the beta, but I do like me a weirdo so Adrik is tempting as well.

[@abc.6223]

It is really fun playing Eleanora, which I am so happy it is, because I actually chose her as a main purely for her personality/gangster theme. So I was like " I'm going to main her even if i suck at her until I'm good at it " but she's actually pretty easy, with her long range focus thank god lol

[@konjus]

Eleanora is absolutely amazing and is definitely what made this game a day one purchase (though I haven't played her since buying; saga is just too alluring)

[@jamaldowner]

This game looks fun as hell and I can't wait for the Terry Bogard crossover.

[@Rooflemonger]

Glad MikeZ found work again after his old team threw him under the bus

[@HateSonneillon]

@@PopoTCG Yeah, instant buy for me to support him.

[@Mick0Mania]

@@PopoTCG What happened? I used to love Skull Girls back in the day. Never knew about the controversy.

[@Umanabro]

​@Mick0Mania Keep in mind, Mike Z has asperger which a lot of his detractors will completely ignore or act like he never has it Long Story Short; He said an insensitive joke on accident. Apologies But he "friends" threw him under the bus for it. Took his game, company away from him. I think a lawsuit is happening or still is. Luckily Mike Z found ppl he's able to trust and work with him and his condition. Allowing him to make this game.

[@HateSonneillon]

@@Mick0Mania Yeah, they didn't just throw him under the bus, they conspired against him and defamed him in order to steal his company away.

Thanks for letting the world know about Diesel Legacy! I haven't seen anything about the game outside of your channel, so you did everyone a solid. Cheers!

[@senarodrigo]

I assumed this was sponsored by the developers. But he never mentioned it so I guess not? 🤔

[@Gamersgoinblind]

​@@senarodrigodefinitely doesn't seem to be the case. Generally if you're sponsored you have to say it.

[@Fenrisson]

@@senarodrigo I don't think so either. But Roofs sure deserves some more sponsorships.

Justin Wong has some videos of it.

@@Soldmysoulforablurayplayer I see. But Rooflemonger is a lot more enjoyable to watch.

happy to inform, and thank you very much for the support!

[@brandonboxbaum8439]

Not even lying when I say I kept coming back to KZbin throughout the day checking for this vid

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

Smart to have the demo cross over with the full version It's cool when games have FTP version so anyone can try out the game with people that play the game

[@MARK-r6c3k]

Fritz Sold me on this. ⚰️ Edit:Man you really sold me on this. I thought i liked Fritz but each Character got better and better. Looks like fun.

[@smackthenun7556]

Animations look pretty awesome, I'll have to check it out, thanks roofle!

[@shinymacaroni7737]

This game looks so charming

[@wolfmech]

Diesel Legacy has that charm you just can't find in most games let alone fighting games these days. With the cast of characters being more then there first glance stereotype sort of thing. that all add just that little spice to keep the game interesting for hours on end. Not to mention a tag mode that is more fun looking then other fighters that come to mind. Over all Diesel Legacy is a game to keep your eyes on as it has a bright future ahead of itself.

[@PopoTCG]

200 players at best

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

​@@PopoTCG unfortunately i agree, that will most likely be the case and they know it, thats why it was released already on sale lol. I wouldnt mind playing it but dunno if its worth the 30 bucks considering it will likely be a dead game

[@Rhuowave]

I’m a huge sucker for any kind of Art Deco or diesel punk style and man this game is absolutely oozing with it. The game looks creative and fun on every level. Even it’s menu being a bar is cool and in theme. The whole roster looks great not a single dud. Though for my playstyle there’s only one option. It’s Saga for sure. I’m here for the big woman with the big grabs and the big meats 10/10

[@jeremyharvin8420]

I’ve spent a good 8ish hours playing, and personally, I find this game amazing. I really hope this game has a push so more players will pick it up……with that being said Pros •combos OMG the combos • team work…Freeform team combos with quick thinking….like what else do you need • movement is super clean. You can wave dash nuff said • characters are super unique • The character color pallets are amazing. • training mode is ridiculous. You can save multiple states and really get lost in the lab Cons • NERF GRAB SPEED! • No ranked • No 1v1 mode and it isn’t needed but I’d like the option • No combo trail mode

[@sicctaylor9344]

I can def agree with everything above after a couple hours

[@GForce_ART]

FYI: -There is ranked, actually -1v1 is possible by just turning CPUS off on FFA mode on versus -Combo trials I coming in a patch very very soon, along with more additions.

[@jeremyharvin8420]

@ Are you talking about the ranks you get from playing the basic online matches? If yes they’re should still be a “ranked mode” for players who are more competitive driven. - 1v1 should still be a separate selectable game mode - I look forward to the continue support of the game, and hope the devs have a lot planned out.

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Oh cool ​@@GForce_ART

[@nurannahadiislam7940]

Combo trials should get added soon since the devs are actively asking for feedback in the discord server and had it already in their list of things we would like to see.

[@VegaVibing]

Me and a friend were like passively interested from trailers earlier this year, but this actually looks like super interesting and I'm 100% checking this out tomorrow.

[@jintekki]

Was not expecting this game to look THIS cool. I'll have to pick it up.

[@mmking9999]

Eleanora's design is so cool. Saga's neat too. I'd main one or both of them. Damkina's reflect super seems nutty, but it works in a 2v2 game. That would never fly in 1v1, lol.

[@nurannahadiislam7940]

The characters just ooze so much personality through their design,,moveset and gameplan. Along with the incredible artstyle and fun gameplay mechanics, it is rare to come across an indie game so polished. I have been enjoying the demo so far and will definitely buy it sooner rather than later.

[@octokortex]

This is video is SUPER complete. Thank you!

[@nailwind]

holy, Fritz and Adrik are right up my alley. Love Adrik's DNF Duel Enchantress gimmick of polymorphing them

[@fragolari_ml]

Great vid as always. Hope this one takes off, game is great!

[@Welchs-Fruit-Snacks]

Adrik is so much fun! I troll hard in teams. Just spam arrows and place traps to protect yourself. Tip: 1 - Use dash+down/up+A with this tech, You can dash (By dash, I mean >> and not his ability to switch places with enemies nor teleport above them.) downwards or upwards and use a quick jab to apply pressure. You can do it with any buttons (Even specials if you're good enough :D) but it's safer to use A for good start-up and C for range. You do have to time it though... 2 - ALWAYS dash at the start of a match so you can use BD to get your cards! It doesn't have to be forward or back. I recommend dashing down/up for a better position then apply pressure with the tech (1) 3 - Abuse arrows with A! If you have your cards up and use the tech, (1) You can outsmart your opponent! The arrows have a weird hitbox and can hit enemies BEFORE it even spawns! So, you'll ALWAYS have first hit no matter what character you're facing! >:D (This does get countered by superarmor. Aka, Robo dude. >:( ) Just incase y'all are as forgetful as me, (Lmao) The controls are: C A D B

[@ShadowKroh]

I suck at these types of fighters, but Fritz grabbed my attention so fast. He’s so much fun and wild to learn. Here’s to wasting hours in this wonderful game!

[@Gloomistic]

This game is extremely cool, and Adrik is a rad addition. He has a boss character vibe to him. Thanks for the coverage!✨️

[@unseeninja83]

I was so excited for this game to release. Had it on wishlist when the release date was last year and we didn’t hear anything. The shadow drop was crazy

[@hoohah5067]

ITS FINALLY REALLLLL

[@chasepalumbo2929]

This game looks wayyyy cooler than I first thought, definitely going to try it out

[@marcbraun5342]

I love that artstyle, the colours, the animations and those characters, they all have,...well, a lot of character. And yes, I do agree, especially Eleanora looks amazing, a lot of swagger, basically female Dante with a record and a smoking habbit. But who doesn't in the 20s, right? I love her. Shame, that this game isn't purely 1v1 and has a lane system, I would buy it on the spot. I know innovation is important and I would normally agree but in this case I want my Street Fighter off shoots, or in this case ArcSys offshoots. ^^ Also, Fritz obviously is a mean character, I recognized that immediatelly from the German name. ^^

It’s definitely a very cool looking game I hope they have other dlc characters they bring to the game. Their character design is pretty special. I hope to see a lot more from them . I hope the game sells well because we need more fighting games out there and I really like what I’m seeing from them.
