[@hanzandfranz5337]

​@judahsfinest1860 I played it back when it first came out before all the updates. I can't really say how it is now. But from when I did play it, it's really fun. The movements required are very precise and kind of finicky. You end up doing moves on accident sometimes that you weren't intending. It's also a good workout. I'm always covered in sweat after I play. If you practice the moves over and over, then you can get pretty comfortable with the actions. Also, the community was amazing. When I played there was no voice chat, but I got into so many matches when I first started where people would noticed I was inexperienced and when spend half an hour teaching me exactly how to do the moves and how to set up combos. Really great game if you are willing to put some time into learning it.

[@voidiarc1587]

The contrast between your two fighting styles is just a chef's kiss to the whole scenario. While your opponent seemed to be playing to their defense much more and going for clear opportunity attacks and use of walls/the arena to their advantage. You on the other hand seem to play towards a much more aggressive and offensive move set, using any chance available to attempt to do damage. Though I can't forget to mention how the opponent tried to contain the objects on the field (using walls already existing or created by you) to a lesser amount, while you went for a more overpowering and create as many variables as possible kind of attack, not to mention use of the movement abilities to obtain a better angle to attack. It looked like a really balanced and cinematic fight, the type that'd keep you on the edge of your seat.

A tip I learned from boxing. When you have the guy backing towards the edge, don’t fall back. Instead take the space and use it to control his movements. In that scenario, you have the choice to retreat, he doesn’t. This gives you a massive advantage.

[@Slit-throat]

Exactly. increase pressure and as a result force errors out of your opponent

[@victorvirgili4447]

I learned this from chess. In any 1v1 game where movement is limited, control the center.

[@AbyssalSword]

In this game, it can really mess you up. Dashes and jumps can really flip the tables. One solid dash then ball can make you lose the game.

Man, this has some serious potential. I'm already imagining Korra's announcer in these fights giving us the play-by-play

[@Vekcrazah]

What’s more fascinating is that the pro bending is probably much simpler in execution than this, since the bending styles are more straightforward and speed oriented over there. So, besides the fact that you’d need 6 players at once, it’s a very possible thing to create if people can already make earthbending as detailed as shown here.

[@aprophetofrng9821]

@@Vekcrazah The hard thing would be the water I think. In my head, the only way you could do it would be to start the motion and the water would move in that direction, and then you slash your hand down or something and it would take a big turn. Seems really hard to implement though and have it possible for people to get it.

[@GamingWithHajimemes]

@@aprophetofrng9821 Kinda similar to blade and sorcery's fireball? You throw it and then slightly shift where it goes by your hand.

1:23 That was incredible. It almost felt exactly like how benders in the Avatar series move around the battle field and get in each others' faces to do up close bending/martial arts... down the fact that you used your landing to pull a rock out of the ground and seamlessly hit it into your opponent's face. Bravo.

[@michaelXxHIGHxX]

The fist bump at the end was just wholesome and nice.

[@Jackthat1]

When they actually made “contact” that was dope.

[@warladd]

It's so funny coming back to this every once in awhile. When I search Rumble this is still the first video that shows up even though it's severely outdated. I remembered seeing this video and being sold on the game. This is an old update with old graphics, the fight is now low level at this point, they use moves in very simple ways. It's really cool to see how players have developed from then.

[@Willster9000]

I hope this gets picked up by the algorithm more or is seen by more Avatar fans cause this was an amazing watch!

[@Ali-bm4un]

Rumble is EXHAUSTING. It makes you feel like a proper earth bender but the moves have to be so precise it’s painful 😅

[@greyhunter3271]

I wonder if we lived in a world with bending if fights would be the same 3 attacks spammed as fast as possible at each other lol

[@Lyigh]

Honestly………. Probably

[@datscrazy4095]

honestly, ya because the moves people work on the most are gonna be the ones they are most confident and skilled with. now their probably be people at a high level who get really creative due to their fundamental level of understanding of these concepts but these people will be few and far between and they will likely be prodigies. in soccer, basketball, and any combat sport this all holds true.

[@datscrazy4095]

also, I saw some innovative tactics out of Cara with the earth wall

[@aloisklimpel2748]

honestly speaking most of martial artist know 1000s of techniques but usually master a few ones, even boxing its 3, cross , jab and uppercut

[@PsykoPatato]

No, it's basically a martial art, you can train it through multiple ways, adding techniques, footsteps, strategy etc.. Everyone would either follow a school of bending with some basics + particular techniques, or use their own

[@The.Reilly]

Just seeing this game for the first time and this has to be the coolest way to fight someone in any game.

[@jacknickels8341]

[@Magic-nx2fb]

This is an awesome fight! Excellent fighting from both ends and I loved the low reliance on hold from your end. It's a good move but a lot of the high tiers start to rely on it too much

[@Lyigh]

I agree… hold is a great move and a very versatile one but it’s way too slow to justify using it as your main attack

[@Aureliano01]

[@Alex_Fishman]

Damn, I wish they would add more high-tier moves into the game, because god is it fun to use different stances to different scenarios, yet there must be something that could be able to remove one's reliance on the walls so much.

[@l0kk016]

Well that's kinda what earth bend is about... Maybe they could add a "quick wall" that is faster but falls in little time, or make some move to control walls at distance (like shoving the opponent's wall against them) but that's about it... With a way higher tech maybe vertical movement/platforms would be the answer, tho it seems to be way too unreasonable

[@victorvirgili4447]

Most of the solutions viewers give to reliance on walls would fit other forms of bending more tbh, earthbending *is* all about facing the enemy head first, so walls are supposed to be spammed here

[@Alex_Fishman]

@@victorvirgili4447 Ok, I understand your point, but in Avatar, which is what this game based on, Earthbenders used way less walls and more variations of projectiles and earthquake-like attacks, and I think that if they add an attack that could remove walls in a small radius, it would make the game less reliant on them, while still giving the option to use them from a larger distance. Also a rock suit technique would be nice as well.

[@Bazingler]

Yeah the games fun but I really like it when the person you’re fighting isn’t spamming 1 or 2 moves or the same combo over and over. I feel like they should replace wall with something smaller, or just get rid of it altogether.

[@daytonabbott3601]

I feel like incorporating an energy/mana cost for abilities that scales based on the power and damage of the ability could solve this so that you can't just spam cast the wall. I just found out about the game tonight and have only watched videos of it so I don't really know how well that would work, but it seems like some sort of casting cost would make it more strategic and interesting. I'm sure that's something the devs have thought about though so maybe they felt like it would ruin the game. Looks super fun though.

[@macmac277]

I love how you're more aggressive and the other guy is just waiting to counter your actions instead Games like this make me wish Eports took VR seriously.

[@TsunaXZ]

Soon.

[@lillian7233]

They've got to invent some more tech to make it work well, I think. To help with the viewer experience, they'd need full-body tracking for all players with really low latency and high accuracy. Right now, that might still mean a lot of heavy/bulky gear on a player's body unless they're going to be in enclosed chambers. Bulky equipment looks kinda goofy, so that hurts the spectator's fantasy of seeing the players as cool, and enclosed spaces mean there's little reason to buy in-person tickets rather than online. VR looks and feels increasingly cooler from the player perspective, but there's still very little work being done to make it look pretty for a spectator except for AR, and that doesn't work well for in-person spectators I think it'll happen eventually, but I think we're still a ways away.

[@BLUE_SHIRT_FOOL]

Well you were wrong about the first thing. The tutorial isn't great, but if you manage to get past it, there are black belts who are willing to help you, despite it being sort of difficult even with help.

[@iamdivan7368]

The strategy of repeatedly using areal attacks to make the opponent get used to the pattern and then while they are in smoke sliding a rock on ground to them so that they can't react is genius. The only thing missing I think are wide horizontal attacks that could go around the shielding blocks. Like stone boomerang or something

[@kronikclubby3289]

Needs pillars that you can jut up at them from below

[@victorvirgili4447]

Attacks like that would fit waterbending or airbending more tbh, we gotta stay true to the source material Still tho having boomerang attacks in an ATLA game? Fantastic.

[@PAINBODEE]

@@victorvirgili4447 there is nothing in the source material that says semi circles cant be made lmao

[@sneakyraven5456]

In theory, you can make this kind of attack. It requires a crapton of preparation. An explode move exist, which makes object explode to knockback stuff further. If you throw something light (Like a block) at side of turtling player and manage to push it by explosion into them - it will grant the effect

[@Blubbpaule]

I loved when this game was this all around. These days it's 40 stone blocks a second, all red charged and explosive, only cubes, walls and pillars. The game was Meta'd to death and now it's not about tactic and outmanouvering your enemy, it's who has the most BPS (blocks per second) against their enemy :(

[@BLUE_SHIRT_FOOL]

You forgot flight! Blocking is an incentive for faster projectiles and more situational plays! You can use hold and flick to hit your opponent in the back, meaning they can't block unless they turn to do so! There are multiple ways to block, each with their pros and cons, meaning that there is still some tactics with blocking! In some cases, dodging is better than blocking!
