Pocket Bravery - How to choose your Main Character!

[@rooflemonger]

People asked and I listened, so if you found the coverage on Pocket Bravery interesting on the channel, now lets deep dive into the entire roster of characters and lets CHOOSE A MAIN! Naturally everything time stamped for your ease of use, and leave a like if you could cause these videos always take so long to make lol. Its not the biggest roster you will ever see in a FG, but it is a very unique one and everyone has their own cool stuff(and cool tributes to other games), so dig in and time to learn!

[@rooflemonger]

Very rarely you will hear my voice dip out for a second before coming back in for the vid, thats cause of the AI noise canceling thing I used. Its 33 celcius in my apartment and the humidity is 80%, so there was basically no way I could make this video without having the AC blasting on max. The noise cancel did a very good job of cutting it out, but causes the occasional audio dip. Fall come take away this horrible weather!!!

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

I understand you here, supposedly it's winter and it's on fire 🥵

[@epicface045]

A character named DAISUKE that takes a ton of inspiration from Johnny is genuinely amazing to me

[@superpowerman4354]

I just subscribed because you seem to be one of the only FGC dudes covering this game extensively since release. The genre is so niche and new games like this need exposure. Keep up the great work.

[@rafaferreira6937]

Follow Ignant Rizzy as well

[@Enoskjp]

We from Brazil always play games in japanese or english trying to guess what the characters are saying while they are throwing out moves and special attacks. This time, the audio is in brazilian portuguese, so I wonder what the characters sound like for those that don't understand our language. My personal opinion is that japanese voices usually sound more badass, english voices sound more formal or fun, and portuguese sound natural or silly sometimes... Anyway, nice video, keep up the pocket bravery content!

[@bigredradish]

I can't believe Pocket Bravery saw both Vanessa and Aganos and went "we can make it work"

[@Gamersgoinblind]

If I had a nickel for every boxer in a fighting game who can make a wall, I'd have two nickels

[@perfildeestudoviayoutube]

Pocket bravery looks amazing, it is driping out charisma and charm for people who missed the good and old sprite animation.

[@Gamersgoinblind]

I don't think there has been quite a game where i wanted to try out the entire roster in a long time. I think i myself ended up with Hadassa

[@binho2224]

Hadassinha Silva rules!!! Não ... me ... ENCHE!!!

[@eliholland1365]

Oh hell yes! This game is gonna be for sure EVO 2024 material. I'm going to buy this thing even if I don't get to it for a little while. I have the devs active in the Steam comments on fixing bugs at launch which is a very good sign for the health of a game.

[@leonardomu]

Pocket Bravery????? I AM ALL IN! Thank you Roof!!

[@anzol4523]

this game is just special for me. it ain't everyday a brazilian game hits it big time like this. at the end of the day, i think i'll play hector. not coz he's the kinda character i'd usually play but because he speaks EXACTLY like me. all the slangs, the insults and the accent, i never knew i needed this but i sure as hell did

[@ikedatike2533]

That's awesome!! I'm over here in the states. Just happy for you!

[@JoaoLucasK]

Perfect carioca representation right there

[@Gamersgoinblind]

i'm curious what slangs and insults he says in the not translated parts

[@JoaoLucasK]

​@@Gamersgoinblind I'll try to translate or explain as many as I can Anti-air grab: "Cóe!" (Wazzup!). If it lands: "Otário" (Sucker!) EX anti-air grab: "Pela saco!" (A vulgar expression/insult to describe a very arrogant, annoying or idiotic person) Dashing hit grab: "Tá ligado?" (Got it?/You dig?). If it hits: "Fracote" (Weakling!) Side-switch grab: "Zé ruela!" (An expression to describe an useless, idiotic person who can't do anything right or won't take action) First super: "Toma! Neném!" ("Take this! Baby!", but the "baby" part in an insulting manner) Second super: "Sente a pressão!" (Feel the pressure!) Final Impact: "Acabou o caô!" (It can either mean "party's over", or "No more BS!", but given the context, it's definitely the latter)

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

I looked at Jorge, he looked at me, I felt a connection and I chose him 🚬

[@theintelligentork7470]

The only correct way to choose a main

[@PwnerGeist]

His LETS FUCKKING GOOOOO face sold me hard

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

He made meme references from my country, there's no way ☕🗿

[@brunobuzzatti1134]

Jorge, mi amor, we will spend some time together.

[@DMXIII]

É HORA DO SHOW!!!

[@renatoramos9910]

So happy now, i asked for one, but, you made two vids for PB, i really aprecciate the time and effort you put into these vids, thank you

[@ericsimonson8002]

I like how you approach games. I can expect a long video that covers the overview of the game. I can expect specific characters guides. I can expect a 10 essential tips video. I can expect news on relevant updates. I can also expect a how to choose your main character overview. Your channel is reliable. Thank you.

[@rooflemonger]

well for pocket bravery to be honest I am not sure we are gonna get the full suite cause MK is righttttttt around the corner. That said though, I wanted to make sure to get some coverage out for the game

[@ericsimonson8002]

@@rooflemonger that seems reasonable. Honestly fighting game content creators must be working extra hard to stay on top of this new golden age. Smaller titles should probably receive a bit less attention.

[@pixelgoat7317]

11:06 Wait up, hold the phone! Did I just hear a Wilheim Scream after Arshavin YEETs Hector into the air? I will never get tired of those XD

[@babyjoker997]

That grab restand shit is so cool, can’t wait to try this Thanks roof

[@oblivionfade]

I am a simple man. I see Pocket Bravery, I press like.

[@kodaiyoung]

Just for the sake of curiosity. Most lines that Jorge says while doing his specials are "giberish" versions of the original sounds of the moves he copy. This is a joke for us because it was how most of us understood and tried to replicate the compressed sound of the moves in arcade machines back in the 90's without knowing propper english or the correct name of the moves. So instead of sayin "hiezan" he says "gilson" tha sounds familiar, for example.

[@girdielbohmer2148]

MANDRAKE! instead of Burn knuckle made me laugh really hard!

[@Flyzoola]

That's fuckin cool lmaooo In Spanish we had gibberish versions, like tatsumaki we'd just call "atactacbuken"

[@Gamersgoinblind]

I think even for his shoryuken he says something like "don't jump at me" but on the same way they'd say Shoryuken

[@metallsnubben]

That's awesome, brings to mind the classic "eso son Reebok o son Nike" radio call

[@sonic15766]

​@@Flyzoola the gibberish here for tatsumaki senpukyaku is "papai quer fruta" (dad wants fruit) lmao

[@dadradish]

A lot of my formative fighting game time was on handhelds so I have a huge soft spot for this game. Thanks for covering it so thoroughly!

[@paptert]

Rooflemonger find-a-main videos are straight up joy. Thanks Roofle for making these. Such a treat every time. Really appreciate you! Looking forward to the Tekken 8 one someday!

[@xXAgeXx]

I am so hype to see you covering this game! After watching and playing this a bit, I know this game is amazing but it's just not seen by a lot of the community. You showing people will only help build and nurture the PB community for years to come.

[@TheBigSad8247]

I can always count on Roofle to make Character overviews for whatever fighting game he covers. Always so informative and detailed. That said, I am a fan of anything boxing, so I already had my pick. Although, thanks to the video, I might also pick up Kimberly as well.

[@badsketch9264]

God, I hope this game takes off. I wasn't tired of SF6 at all, but I haven't gone back to it since this game came out. This just clicked.

[@Flyzoola]

@rooflemonger awesome job on fixing the pronunciation on Ximena! You're the real GOAT Appreciate you and your content

[@fernandoalony]

Hector is the chosen one. I knew it from the first punch.

[@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034]

Yeah, he punches *hard*

[@ΚρανίΩ]

@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034nah, he snuffs you

[@girdielbohmer2148]

Hadassa and Hector are my favorite, she´s really versatile since you can approach the adversary in many ways. Hector is far more challenging but his persona is really interesting. By the way, this roster has a lot of personality and lots of variation. Really good job!

[@kidchoque5925]

Hector got the most brutal moves, it's pretty nice to see

[@ArtFr0g0]

Just finished the 3 general tutorials and am pretty impressed! Everything is explained quite well :D

[@phdbot4483]

Wow! The way all these characters play look very cool. As a big boy main, you can expect me to be Arshavin or Ndidi, but Jorge, Daisuke, and Ximena also look like fun. Sebastian, being a high-APM character will not match my playstyle, but I will say the way he works, especially with the ice wall gimmicks looks very cool. (Yes, I left that pun in there.) :3

[@WickedFninja]

This game will definitely spread around w your vids im positive looking forward to it

[@rafaferreira6937]

How come eventhubs doesn't even talk about it? Don't they cover indie fighters at all? I think more people could give it a shot Thanks, Roof, for covering it again 😊

[@thegreatgilmax]

I was thinking the same thing! It's such a cool game, it surely deserves an eventhubs article!

[@rooflemonger]

I cover everything, but the reality is for anyone who is driven by numbers, the numbers for an indie game don't exactly pan out. I coulda make some sensationalist clickbait vid on MK leaks or something and got way more clicks than working on pocket bravery stuff.

[@icarofonseca4320]

everybody got superpowers and magical stuff and MA BOY jorge is there just stabbin you (really hard)

[@JoaoLucasK]

And throwing grenades

[@metallsnubben]

...is Ndidi gonna be my reason to finally learn to play charge characters

[@ΚρανίΩ]

hes really hard but very cool, id say second to sebastian in difficulty

[@mikeg4490]

Support the indies!

[@battlericky17]

21:57 Sebastian is CRAZY COOL

[@fabio3361]

Im just sold with Mingmei, shes awesome!!!

[@JoaoLucasK]

And she's so charismatic too

[@TheTDA]

Bro, that Hector stance-combo literally had me like 😮 Wow!

[@seuzeviera683]

Before the fact ...I already know Rooflemonger is going to play the russian grappler.

[@nautanazoth6215]

Ndidi reminds me of urien, my main for now on.

[@commentarytalk1446]

Yeah I always think Urien or Eyedoll from Killer Instinct with that charge!

[@YouGuessIGuess]

Thank you for covering this! We need to support our indie titles, especially when they clearly have a lot of love poured into them.

[@Pestigirioso]

23:19 when playing with Hadassa, I immediately felt like she was really inspired by Laura, from SFV. Is a very similar kind of character, a grappler that isn't, but a kind of rushdown with command grabs. Really cool video!

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

I don't know when and if I'll ever play this game, but I'm watching this whole video for the second time.

[@hammiehsy6508]

My favorite combo is grab lol nice one 😂😂

[@MultiBoxingKid]

Dammit, I’m so sad the switch version is coming out in December 31. This looks incredible.

[@rooflemonger]

not too long out, plus full crossplay between all systems too!

[@zachculberson4457]

Malika with gene jin. 🔥🔥🔥

[@gemani_gem]

I love Jorge so much

[@Saikyokugen]

You forgot to show Hadassa's Final Attack "You're Finished!" 😫

[@rooflemonger]

well these kinda vids are not designed to show off every single move for every character othwise they'd be hours long. Just to give you an idea of what they are about

[@tiagodanilofelix]

After this analysis I already chose my main character! Thanks! 😍

[@pedrolima8908]

Amazing vídeo! !! I love pocket bravery! !!

[@Guigasdm]

I don't have the game (yet) and this is so comprehensible. Great work

Eyy maybe I'll have to check it out!

I already know who I'm maining, Hector, I just gotta wait for the console release

[@lucianocruz3383]

Me too l normaly don't play the main villains but hector is too cool not to main and he has my last name too it must be fate🐺

[@Damonchi]

i didn’t even know this game existed but now i’m going to give it a try looks nice. definitely liked that hector combo.

[@YgorOReiMacaco]

I already chose my main, Ximena and Son a DLC character :)

Thank you.

An indie game from my home country? Here take my money. I'm already jumping into it :)

[@jairovalverde5735]

Ain't no way the hottest character in the game is a zoner, SMH, I've been betrayed

[@battlericky17]

Hector has a monster hand? Well i guess thats my main lol

[@battlericky17]

Head*

[@Ketsuekisan]

If I had a nickel for every rushdown/setplay character named Kimberly that throws bombs at her opponent's feet, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[@JoaoLucasK]

So, Roofle, one thing you didn't mention about Arshavin it's that his Charging Bear grab goes through projectlies as he's running. As if he wasn't scary enough. #ArshaWIN

[@ZzigZaG00NIN]

I was wondering how Jorge played since he's the only one I haven't tried yet Ohh cool he has a little team Ikari/Terry stuff This game is so cool.

[@JoaoLucasK]

Jorge is pretty much a homage to fighting games (with Brazilian memes thrown in, of course)

[@rexflores8461]

this game looks like it was made with love

[@beybladetunada5697]

More pocket bravery! yay

Do note that Kimberly's roll kick has the same name as Geese's kick command normal and she also yells "PREDICTABLE!" with her EX counter.

I just need to know who's most like Sol Badguy or K'. Hector/Muno/Hadassa seem pretty damn cool. Wolf Stance Hector has that brutality I wished XIII Claw Iori had.

[@nerdwarp112]

I can’t get the game yet since I don’t have any money to spare, but Arshavin looks like my kind of character. I’ll definitely play him when I get it, though.

[@peanutpablo9596]

This man is the Anthony fantano of the FGC

[@Tungdil_01]

By looking at the names, these are my predictions of nationalities: Nuno Alves Portugal, Mingmei Wong China, Kimberly Moore British sphere, Aleksander Arshavin Russia, Malika Sharma India, Ekon Ndidi Nigeria, Jorge Chagas Brazil, Sebastian Mcclane USA, Hadassa Silva Brazil, Sho Kamui Japan, Daisuke Sato Japan, Ximena Guadalupe Mexico, Hector Silva Brazil

[@commentarytalk1446]

Almost correct: Kimberley is the Big Blonde Brash American USA! Gal (at least that's how I see her) who fights on top of the Empire State Building in New York (Where Bald Eagles Dare and check out the US movie references) and McClane is indeed a scottish name "Mc" albeit familiar name in the USA/Canada where a lot of Scots emmigrated to but he's Scottish and fights in Glasgow it seems.

Mechanically, seems solid as hell, i just dont know if i can put real time into this game(not a huge fan of the chibi, big head art style)

[@Gang3rs]

kinda sad that arshavin isnt a true grappler (one grab takes a chunk of thier HP) but i might pick him up. i really want to pick up sebastian because i love my boxers.

[@JoaoLucasK]

But on the other hand, some of his grabs (even the Comrade Hug grab) can be set up for some nasty combos if the enemy is against the corner

[@pluviaaeternum]

he's so charismatic that I'll still be playing him, but I do miss more damaging grabs and an antiair like Zangief, Potemkim and Goro Daimon.

[@rooflemonger]

The game is more KoF styled so that means grappler damage off 1 grab isn't titanic, but on the flip you can combo into every grab and there's way more grab options

[@mbf6160]

I really like the thought they put into every character this game is definitely gone be around for yrs to come I can see it doing well at EVO 😎🤙🏾 side note for DLC for this art style id like to see the double dragons billy and jimmy lee that would be 🔥🤦🏾‍♂️
