New 2XKO Details, Jinx Gameplay, and MONKEY TANK!

[@rooflemonger]

So hey, 2XKO news its been a hot minute! We finally got some new details including when the next playtest is (spoiler, it aint anytime soon lol) and we got Jinx gameplay too! Jinx is quite different than her original incarnation and she sorta disappeared from all features and footage for some years and now shes back. I also got to play her at my riot trip last year and she's quite a bit different from that as well so lets talk about all things 2XKO!

[@ektran4205]

jinx is jack-o

[@rooflemonger]

Jinx when I played her last year did not have flying monkeys or monkey tanks. Thankfully they rectified this game breaking flaw and with this newfound monkey offense I am probably gonna play her cause im literally that shallow lol

[@guidomista5]

Monkey based offense is an extremely big deal, not shallow at all

[@MacTonight-i9v]

Either they changed the lvl 1 or we have different last stand assists. Because jinx was knocked out and your notes are right.

[@rooflemonger]

@@MacTonight-i9v she already has an all new lvl 1 that didnt exist before with fireworks, its safe to assume the other lvl 1 is different and its probably that last stand

[@ghostrunning8724]

She has Dr Doom foot dive

[@VelocitySatrocities]

FOOT DI-FOOT DI FOOT DIVE🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@FootOfDOOM]

Hell yeah

[@D3Vlicious]

5:01 would you like to talk about our lord and savior FOOT DIVE!

[@Nooctae]

She's being designed by marlinPie, the player that did Yasuo. Which should help clarify some expectations if you know the guy.

[@ΚρανίΩ]

also a combo fiend and a marvel 3 prodige

[@LycanDreams9159]

She looks like jacko with the ability to manipulate the projectiles that she throws around It looks interesting

[@GhengisJohn]

Finally, somebody takes some inspiration from Jack-O... From something other than her crouch.

[@sanctityninja9345]

@@GhengisJohnthat is a pretty good crouch tho

[@GhengisJohn]

@@sanctityninja9345 Top ten anime crouches for sure.

[@Jay-mx5ky]

It looks like she zapped the monkey drone and an effect happened that made it shock ekko. I wonder if she will be able to zap projectiles to get that paralysis effect.

[@CharlesPlaine]

4:56 has me in tears. Good bit.

[@merpderpinc1441]

That Goldlewis reference was awesome

[@androgynousaardvark7415]

Only halfway through the video, and I feel like I should have been playing a drinking game based on how many times you say "monkey tank." "This episode brought to you by Monkey Shoulder whiskey."

[@MaximumCarnage-]

Jinx has been a huge fan of monkeys ever since her reveal trailer over a decade ago. It would be blasphemy for you not to main her :) Thanks for the update

[@surrendering2within]

Thanks, Jinx: with her fluid & lively animations and moveset, this game has a character I'm interested in. & thanks, Rooflemonger: this did get me registered!

[@T2Designgaming]

Appreciate the breakdown. Hearing "shock state" will never not make me laugh.

[@rainer9931]

Shock State is so unnecessarily fucking funny 😂 when he said that I got a blast from the past

[@championredd]

Finally feels like 100 years since I last heard about this game and some of her moves remind me of launcher from dnf

[@fennicfox4600]

Why do I get the feeling Roofle greased a few palms to get that level two supper?

[@rooflemonger]

legit complete surprise to me. If any of the monkey-based stuff was in the old build from my trip last year id be leaving that saying jinx was my main lol. That said as a character jinx always been monkey friendly, think to even the origina music video

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

I could go for a level 2 supper right now, especially since I skipped lunch.

[@BaronSterling]

God damnit, I was JUST about to make a joke about a Goldlewis comparison when Roofle beat me to it in the video. Well played.

[@Combat-Titan]

Yes I’ve been waiting for her official announcement

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

Lil Goldlewis

[@danman3268]

I just wanna give a shout out to the people who worked on her animations and visual effects. Her abilities and supers are GORGEOUS.

[@phdbot4483]

With all the obnoxious doodads she brings to the stage, she's gonna a lot of fun to bring to team games depending on which side plays her. XD

[@NurseValentineSG]

About the combo length, I feel like a combo has about the right length with 6-10 hits. For me, that's the sweetspot where you can style while also not turning it into a single player game for half a minute.

[@moistwindow6094]

Maybe its me getting older, maybe its just new zoner designs, but more and more im coming to really love zoners in fighting games, ive been holding myself back for so long

[@LiangHuBBB]

my new main

[@NurseValentineSG]

4:59 WE CAN HANDLE IT

[@bhlakbatosai]

Hated her so much on the Netflix show, can tell gonna hate fighting her too.😂 Can't wait to see how her sister plays.

[@pockystyx4087]

the Arcane moment in the trailer was a nice touch

[@XmortoxX1990]

Bug guns, projectiles and explosions. Yup! That's my character.

[@The_inconspicuous_sphinx]

Man I'm just waiting for Vi now. I've always been a fan of characters with gauntlets weapons.

[@goodie2shoes874]

That ahri combo was sick. Looks like she has better solo oki

[@D3Vlicious]

Monke zoner is right up my alley

[@Mahamaru]

I love that every character that Sarah Anne Williams has voiced is either a zoner or becomes a zoner. Ik she's probably voiced by a different person here, but in base League, it's her

[@zetachaox]

I think they should adapt something more akin to the granblue control scheme.

[@ΚρανίΩ]

when the alpha was there im ngl the control scheme was very intuitive to me, now that might be because im on controller but on keyboard too it was pretty much insta learned. the combinations of 2 buttons was weird tho

[@yaboytony3028]

Idk, to me Granblue also has the same problem of being alot of buttons. Especially for a fightpad/hitbox

[@zetachaox]

@yaboytony3028 I just find the special moves in granblue more intuitive.

[@feldsparthegreat]

When I read Monkey Tank I briefly thought Winston Overwatch was being added

[@aleksandarstefanovic605]

The game is looking better and better with every trailer. I cant wait to play this game in 2035.

[@Grux_ASG]

I am so ready

[@su-winggotti6715]

Finally, I get to see the character I'm actually interested in. I've been fiendin' for Jinx info

[@MARK-r6c3k]

She looks pretty Cool.

[@GawrshDarn]

Never played LOL in my life, but Arcane and this is gonna make me a huge fan of this world. Just hope Vi makes it to launch!

[@rlskymind]

We need more monkey aligned characters, lol.

[@havenschade8174]

I cant wait for her to be able to cancel hammer typhoon into another one in the same direction

[@landonhulett2119]

Expect to be JINXED on the next playtest.

[@kaiengrail]

So Jacko meets gold lewis? Thats a terrifying combination if you think about it.

[@kingstongreen6041]

Monkey is to Tank like Money is to Bank 🔥🙏🔥

[@MrHarry1227]

jinx looks weird when she is running

[@swerse]

Thought I was the only one thinking that

[@rooflemonger]

in the context of the game she comes off basically as a scooby doo villain. Especially with all her soundbytes. The run is very appropriate.

[@chriswest6988]

It's definitely a very animated comedy run. My first thought was Lupin but there's probably something it's even more directly imitating. My one complaint is that I cannot picture anyone running like that _towards_ someone. No matter which way you're facing, that run cycle screams "run away!"

[@valentds]

she's harley queen fused with joker, of course she's crazy weird

[@PotofGlue]

Personally I'd argue jinx vs ekko is even the single best moment in season 1

[@mas8705]

And here I thought we were going to get a "Vi Teaser" in two weeks, or at least at the end of Arcane's run (or the game awards). Still, part of me can't help but feel like she is most likely in the waiting and will be the next reveal. Or at least assuming that to be the case.

[@XLucifersX]

hey roofle, a bit unrelated to the vid but if i ever have one wish to you: please do a guide for Ghostface when he comes out lol!

[@rooflemonger]

if theres time I will. Big guides are multi-days works of effort and whenever theres other things going on it gets more difficult

[@Gelwain]

You see that gold and blue pistol on her hip, Roofie? That's what is putting people in a "shock state". She shot it at the same time the drone blew up, and in LoL, getting hit by it CCs the target.

[@rooflemonger]

I think you need to rewatch it, the pistol never interacts with the drone. Its the kick that sends it flying, and the drone explosion causes the shock state. the "gunshot" is just medium attack.

[@edfreeman2722]

Now we just need VI please bring in VI with her gauntlets

[@bstnicky]

she looks amazing i hope they bring this level of animation to every characters supers i feel like some of them just slightly missed the mark in the beta

[@JustChillinOnThe5thFloor]

Is there a fighting game where you can change out the visual part of your cinematic finisher? Only the visuals and not damage or any properties just like a character's skin. I could see that happening in this game. Which would be cool since the game does have a nice artistic look to it.

[@mallangs]

Monkeytank POG

[@chy03001]

Yo... she's going to be top tier

[@MeeB3]

My only issue with the beta was that I couldn’t get it on Xbox by the time I was able to grab it, and It was the primary option I clicked to participate in the beta. (Played it on pc but my laptop played it in slow motion, was fun to see what they could do in the limited time I had) Edit: also didn’t think I’d want to play jinx but they made her look so fun that I’m back at square one with a character crisis. Yes I know barely any of the roster is out but I’m liking the ones I see lol.

[@ewaep]

Was thinking who I'd partner with Teemo (No way they don't add the devil incarnate). Jinx looks like it at the moment. Time to play the MATA - Most Aggravating Tactics Available.

[@Xmusicana]

Rooflemonger don’t Jinx’s yourself now

[@ignap]

1:10 Lol Terry in 2xko would be really funny Guess the monkeys must have Rooflemonger really happy :D

[@parrisxsummers]

They gave her the hammer to really hammer home she is a Harley clone.

[@tangahkoncek6841]

A Twisted Fate, Jinx, And Miss Fortune walks into a bar, the bartender says "what can i help you with?", and they replied with "Nothin you can do, We're all ADC's with Negative KDA for Happy endings, btw if you askin ADC stand for Absolute Disasters Company and KDA is Kilodalton, one of us is scientist. Water for me, something to sober up the insane drunk guy and then a hat.", the bartender then said "wait aren't this supposed to be the part when one of you tell a joke?" One of them then replied "Nah there is none, unless you find hard enough with capital R, us here doesn't have good W of a jape, maybe in next Que. Heck two of my friend here had has their life Flashed away." Flabbergasted bartender then said "Oh that's unusual, so no joke then, how about a story then?" The cool guy then said "can't getting ahead of ourself either, currently the one that's has the most story is the insane drunk guy, have to sober up first, then maybe we tell you our part." "huh?" "Indeed" "WHY MY e BUTTTON DOESN'T WORKING!!!" "Wait Jinx that's not the E butt-"

[@rainer9931]

I will never EVER be a zoner sympathizer... But damn that last sequence looks so fun

[@DannyNetwirk]

I feel like this game isn't gonna release until 2027. This.game looks so sick

[@evilded2]

4:53 It's not a big deal. We can handle it

[@nickcampbell9828]

Has anyone knoticed 2x also means double. So 2x kills is called a double kill. So 2xko is Double K.O. I personally thing Double K.O. sounds cleaner ;)

[@Dunkaholic18]

I am once again asking for the literal pit fighter Sett to be included in this game.

[@SuperEvilCake]

1:03 Rooflemonger hiding the Teemo knowledge?

[@edgarninoverbel3611]

Jack-o its that you ?

[@HungarianWarHorse]

Giving me shades of peacock from skullgirls

[@Pianohnonono]

It would have been an easy mistake to leak upcoming characters( wink, wink). I’m sure riot would have understood if you made that mistake. I’m soooooo glad that you made sure not to tell me if fiddlesticks is coming to 2xko. But once again, leaking that info would be an easy mistake

[@ThatBoiDinky]

FOOT DIVE!

[@peterchang2310]

I see the game is getting closer and closer to MvC3...

[@Fighting-Otaku]

I want her as my main

[@raekwonchambers2297]

She reminds me of jacko if she was a zoner

[@aceh941]

Where can i find this game??

[@MarcusSlater]

They gave her Jack-O's kick? Od.

[@GhengisJohn]

Just not gonna let me see Vi till next year then, huh?

[@emrekulac3207]

Goldlewis jumpscare

[@JeannieLove]

Is Jinx just Legally Distinct Tank Girl?

[@bubbles0904]

Doesn't normally have a tank

[@rooflemonger]

jinx is basically an amalgamation of all the "crazy girls" of the 90s

[@itsnyxiechu]

prob gonna be maining Jinx or Ahri when the game releases

[@xedet]

roofle gonna play a zoner cz of monkey

[@rooflemonger]

well thats how I wound up playing broly

[@jasonngo1966]

mmm monke

[@MacTonight-i9v]

When playtest comes, you guys are in trouble... I've been playing jinx throughout all her changes and it's gonna be so wild lol she's a zoner, but that's not where the problem will be. With love, from a tester❤❤

[@OutCastSwagg]

I’m down to play this game but the frame rate seems like it’s running at 15 fps

[@Limit02]

They really need to get this game out the door, will be too late to “revolutionize” fighting games if VF6 beats them to the punch

[@DavidOsornoL]

I know its not really a spoiler, but showing any scenes from the show are actually spoilers. Now I know that Jinx won't be fully imprisoned or that she had a change of heart if she hasn't already fought Ekko, ruining the suspense built up in other scenes that could end up with Jinx in one of those two situations.

[@bruhm0ment6000]

Will we actually get GTA 6 before 2KO?

[@kauanjos3199]

Probably not, I still think GTA 6 is only coming in 2026, 2xko is releasing next year at the end of it

[@squaresphere]

I really think taking way too much time making the game. They should have aligned at least a limited release with Arcane's release to ride that wave.

[@TheLBG7]

She seems a lot like Dizzy from Guilty Gear

[@stormlegend7650]

Gasp

[@daniel98danutz98]

Please,Riot,if you see this,release lee sin asap

[@바보Queen]

i wish teh graphics look more like arcane.. that would look so good.. instead of this cellshaded look

[@barrysmith4610]

she looks legit 🎉 but will her sister be playable 😅

[@nobodywashere3123]

Monkey mech: goot for 2xko. Please don't fill the riot dev's heads with the idea that she needs a tank mode 💀 they actually would do something stupid like that for the luls

[@hentacletentai2160]

0:59 who writes X like that?

[@rooflemonger]

youtubers with over 230,000 subscribers

[@zrethor]

Honestly my biggest takeaway from. This

[@dregnoff9361]

Him... in the video. Keep up

[@valentds]

elon

[@MorbyLol]

bity thing, airborne horrizontally moving projectile, blue hair, wack ass zoning, yeah thats dizzy alright

[@Hpalhazred]

Not really fan of the 2v2 aspect, some people will enjoy it.

[@OTRBRANDON]

This game is just too stiff, i mean blazing strike was done by one person, what 2xko excuse?

[@shl6367]

can't believe league of legend collabed with famous animated show ARCANE!!! (you see, it is a joke about how League is an absolute dogshit of a game that you should not play)

[@kinhahaha7161]

her face looks so off, legit 2xko art style is so ugly they gotta redo every 3d model from scratch except ahri.

[@karxx000]

Why man's keep saying things that happen in arcane

[@rooflemonger]

arcane season 1 happened years ago now, time to catch up

[@RukiHyena]

little bit of a fail from the animators but im sure it can get fixed, the fuse of the firework is still lit when its flying for the super, it should have not gone off till the fuse reached the end. 3:35

[@jackg6887]

anyone else a bit pissed they gave the girl whos whole character is guns and bombs a fucking hammer for her launcher? Have her aim fishbone at the floor, drop a mine or made. fuck it'd even make more sense for her to hit them with fishbones. But the fucking harely quinn/amy rose stereotype just seems lazy to me
