going to post the matches in a separate video over the weekend, so look out for that also hunter x hunter next week. sorry I couldn't really post stuff while I was away, got some stuff to work on for y'all coming up. look forward to it! (also pls subscribe) edit - side note but the footage they recorded is just that quality before anyone asks

[@Kinslayu]

Thank you for actually explaining the mechanics of the game. I've seen a bunch of impressions videos but they talk like we've played the game already

[@Jay-mx5ky]

There's an official how to play video from riot that explains the mechanics better than the majority of youtubers/pros. There are also a ton of errors in this video.

[@LordKnightfgc]

unfortunately I am not a master, hopefully there will be more opportunities I haven't been going out of my way to go to events with the game, but I'll try to get as much time as I can ;;

[@Jay-mx5ky]

@LordKnightfgc it's all good! I'm sure you got your hands on the game and the goal was to experiment and have fun! Keep at it, looking forward to seeing your content.

[@steffanhymer1285]

Back assist and forward assist will call out your partner for their selected assist. Neutral assist is used mid combo to use the tag launcher that takes away enemy recoverable health.

[@natethebad]

Thanks for doing a breakdown of your experiences with 2XKO at EVO Japan! I think I understand what you mean about the 2x Assist groove vs the 2x Tag groove, though I expect the lab scientists to come up with absolutely despicable nonsense using both. I am excited to watch more of your matches, and to see your coverage of other games from the event!

[@lilgohan]

really enjoyable video. super excited for this game to come out

[@lippemartinsm]

Best video about 2xko that came out from evo japan!

[@OLDirty_Kungfu]

I love the video bruh. But more importantly, I want to let you know you looking especially vibrant, my brotha! I see you! Tell these folks to get they skin and hair care game up, my man! Bless!

[@DonQuixe]

The game looks really fun.. hope i get to play it in an upcoming beta :)

[@jorrellrichardson3181]

Can u give us your predictions for roster based on League?

[@decksteroussnail]

I'm really glad they went with two button for dashing rather than making a separate dash button and finally another fighting game that doesn't use the anime fighter run slide but can't block system.

[@user-km7yr8wl6q]

What are the advantages of 2 button dash vs dash macro? From what I understand, this game has both.

[@decksteroussnail]

@@user-km7yr8wl6q Simplicity. I already have my strongest fingers over the L, M, H buttons at all times. If there was a separate dash button that was MANDATORY to dash, it have to be like the pinky finger or force my thumb to reach weird. Otherwise this game gonna end up like SF6 where everyone wants 30 buttons for every possible action cause of how critical DI, DR, and parry is.

[@IfWhatYes]

Sf6 is entirely possible to play with just the 6 buttons. People choose to use more because double button is more effort

[@samuelgreen2443]

"Let's go" just does not hit the same as "Let's rock!"

[@aceofshakes531]

Could you do a breakdown on Slayer or his trailer.

[@KidArkx]

Hahaha haha, about how much he hates him?

[@kenshin391]

I hope they show Katarina soon

[@Hinoga]

Damn got here so early that the video quality was bad, time to wait a bit before watching

[@VeeZzz123]

SonicFox might be unto something, they are good at spotting potential where others don't. Just like how they picked Leo in GGS at the beginning when everyone thought he was bottom tier. And now a Leo won Evo Japan

[@AcencialAMV]

How do you like the game?

[@JukeStridewalker]

Parry costs a bar but it refunds it if you successfully parry

[@jorrellrichardson3181]

Please post day 1 as well

[@misplaydave]

The return to tag games?

[@LS-tk7hp]

dude you really look like michael from lost lol

[@jetherfirstruiz4194]

How to cancel the movement? Is the button moves is same as marvel vs capcom?

[@thegoat9219]

Post day 1 as well!!!

[@LordKnightfgc]

might do a poll, it really is chars just standing around mostly doing nothing/whiffing buttons while we are talking with one of the devs lol

[@colledeicorvi7422]

seems cool! i really hope that this game gets popular enough to make money, or it will get killed like the card game

[@Feral_gatr]

you didnt clap twice at the end, you ok?

[@Lawarot]

I just want air movement

[@neon-lake]

depends on the character, Ahri has an air dash

[@luismendez2768]

And ekko has an air hop I like that they're making it more character specific, but I hope we get close to if not over half the roster w expanded air movement

[@RiotAugust]

Ya obvi this is subjective but I personally just can't really get into games without universal air dash or air movement; it's just the freedom of movement that is one of the things i enjoy most about fighting games. But obvi some ppl r the opposite and hate games that have air dash so it's really 2 each their own on that

[@janematthews9087]

Air movement = anime game. There's a certain stigma people have with anime games. Which strive managed to buck the trend, for some reason.

[@LordKnightfgc]

ahri/ekko

[@jorrellrichardson3181]

Long fights are better more chance for a comeback and both players hopefully have a chance to play

[@HellecticMojo]

It's actually the opposite. Longer matches demand more consistency out of the players, which is counter to a comeback system. More the game becomes swingy, more does the less skilled player have a chance to win by a random swing connecting.

[@BigWaler]

Hello, game, I should practice at the moment to prepare for 2xko

[@Sparda51]

Groove system should be reworked if no one is really using two of the 4 grooves.

[@evilded2]

The game is on day -500 I think it's fine if people haven't optimized in an offline location play test.

[@LordKnightfgc]

like I said, even though people weren't using a couple, I do see how they could be good. Especially Fury.

[@Sparda51]

@@LordKnightfgc That’s fair, I just worry there being grooves that barely anyone will use that much of making them effectively worthless to most. Every time people get their hands on it for a while now all have said the same thing, barely anyone uses the other two grooves. Justin did get second in that one tournament using DHC groove when everyone was invited to play. I know it doesn’t mean much but it’s something that opposes what people have been echoing. There are lots of characters still not in the game though and not infinite hands on the game yet. So perhaps more will be found out like usual when it does finally come out. I do like the groove system though drastically changing playstyles.

[@Lobster222]

idgaf about your nerd games drop your skincare routine

[@jorrellrichardson3181]

I think most fighting games don't give you enough health

[@polyjackets8659]

If it's not better than tekken, don't bother

[@keithsimpson2150]

Having multiple buttons for special moves as a deal-breaker

[@ojodeoro1106]

The grooves feel very restrictive. other games just give you all 3

[@dragonic22]

Feel? You've played the game?

[@ojodeoro1106]

@@dragonic22 no. but they still fill like a restrictive choice

[@keithsimpson2150]

The most important thing to me in a fighting games is characters. Riots characters are completely uninteresting

[@somedude15231]

Look I don't wanna come off as some kinda riot apologist, but how are they not interesting? Just out of these six, you got a dude that constantly time travels 3 seconds at a time and a huge lady that smacks you around with ghost tentacles from a sea god.

[@HellecticMojo]

​@@somedude15231they are just dudes. Get me an actual interesting pick that isn't just dudes and dudettes.

[@shreeanshmahapatra2313]

Well most of these characters are extremely popular in league. These are all good choices to attract the league audience.

[@havenschade8174]

​@HellecticMojo what are interesting characters to you? What kind of characters do you like?

[@HellecticMojo]

@@havenschade8174 That aren't just disposable dudes and dudettes

[@zachstarattack7320]

personally, I am just turned off by the long combos. as someone who plays smash and greatly values the fact that I can interact in a combo, the fact that I have to watch a cutscene is insane. I don't care that there's a burst, once that's gone it just becomes a cutscene

[@darksinju6833]

Well that is your fault getting hit in the first place play better neutral and you don’t get hit

[@HellecticMojo]

​@@darksinju6833it goes both ways you know...

[@sirtoxic5147]

*gets cutscene combo’d by Kazuya, Steve, Mario, Falco to death*

[@zachstarattack7320]

@@sirtoxic5147 Not talkign about shitty ultimate. I like melee. Were teh combos are long but at least you can always play the game with SDI, DI, ASDI, instead of needing a burst to be able to play
