[@ilcavaliereoscusa6758]

Considering he used zero shines, didn’t know other characters and that he really played like he was in ultimate that was a good show of the pro player difference

[@ice5615]

no yeah it's really interesting seeing a purely ultimate player side of rivals especially with no prior knowledge of the game (I don't even think he hit stopped or parried once either)

[@GodlyCito]

Holy the art style from 1 and 2 changed a lot, I wonder how custom characters are gonna hold up now…

[@joesmother23]

kazuya will be added somehow and that scares me

[@finthetrashcan]

they said they're working on it!

[@Wattmelon]

There def won’t be as much good stuff as Rivals 1’s modding scene (custom sprites are easier for most people to do than custom 3D models), but I bet there’s gonna be some wild stuff anyways with enough time lol

[@playboishartyy]

they said workshop is coming but not until 2 years from release

[@anonymous7024]

If we ever get workshop content, someone better make Terry so Riddles can be the worlds best Bogard in Rivals 2

[@tantrumj1033]

Imagine 3D Cosmic Ronald

[@joshford256]

Workshop is confirmed as of their last update!

[@anonymous7024]

Can't wait to dropkick Richard Nixon as Kiryu Kazuma, while Scooby Doo ledge guards Sans Undertale on top of the Eiffel Tower

[@skippylikeno]

Both Rivals games are sick. I feel like you would have been good with Olympia since she's the closest thing to an FGC character in Rivals 1, supposedly every non-guest is coming back so I think that includes the workshop characters.

[@nebulisnoobis102]

Considering you can get icons for the workshop characters in the store (besides the pixelated ones, like for the Dungeons enemies), I think they have a good chance

[@weesticles650]

Yeah they've already stated that the workshop characters, or the workshop five as they're calling them (five cause of La Reina), are gonna return eventually just like the rest of the characters.

[@ice5615]

they said all workshop characters are coming back ! (I'm so excited for mollo and Olympia specifically)

[@Taktaagic]

OLYMPIA IS THE BEST, I LOVE HER

[@MrRukrio1]

probably the craziest thing about Rivals of Aether is that everyone feels like they're balanced like Minecraft Steve in Ultimate but with the tech and aggressiveness of Melee: every character has a gimmick that they play around and enhances their fighting style, and the game encourages the crazy shit of Melee.

[@GUT5S]

the movement makes me miss your melee streams bro, pressure more with shine and this Zetter is gonna COOK

[@LavenderU9]

apparently the experience for players without lots of smash experience was a torture, everyone who were chaining games were either top 200 melee or ultimate players or crazy good Brawlhalla streamers.. anyone who wasn't a pro going into this could barely even touch anyone..

[@azizkash286]

This game is godlike. The first good platform fighter since ultimate

[@oakwooden]

Try first good since melee >:3

[@Plastic_Kong]

Nasb2 was actually so good, no one plays tho :(

[@fadeixi4212]

ultimates not good

[@nikkobird590]

Facts lol

[@kenohere]

Small tip for Zetterburn: you can press shield on the startup of down special to gain some sideways momentum, helping with horizontal recovery.

[@LyndanTylor]

Someone tell this poor man he can finally use airdodge to recover

[@raphaelmacasaet1081]

Riddles still cooking in other games 💀

[@samk2407]

Absolutely relishing the few moments where I know more about the game than a pro

[@alechammond2125]

First time watching one of your videos, and the face you make while you are mid set is priceless. The concentration going HARD haha

[@KynG5]

Yeah as questionable as the actual ranking *system* is, playing Ranked is a pretty good introduction to the game for experienced platfighter players. Helps you get used to the controls first by playing absolute newbies, you might run into one cracked unranked player to show you just what's possible but some players won't, and as you progress you see more and more of what's possible in the game. i.e. cancelling Jab 3 with any tilt being completely possible for like every single character in the game. Or the most optimal way to recover. Lots of basic, little things, the sort that add up over time.

[@terakoinfinity9523]

Just wait till Cosmic Ronald gets added to the game☠

[@Flindo911]

Riddles makes the silliest faces lmao

[@nebulisnoobis102]

No jablocks, but you can cancel jab 1 and 2 into tilts

[@dkdavy9957]

Ayyyy I was that first Lox you fought! GGS!!

[@mercedesjacevedosilva9146]

From Aether Studios And Wayforward

[@nebulisnoobis102]

Bro’s gonna cry when mollo gets in 😭

[@horaciodossantoscaminero1865]

13:50 bro, no clones, no smoke, this guy is NOT playing Forsburn

[@Engie-T]

What I wouldn’t give to see a classic win streak video with Terry (or roy), haven’t seen one of those in forever

[@mercedesjacevedosilva9146]

In Rivals of Aether 2 (2024)

[@estebanmainguylemieux3160]

Yes! New Riddles video just dropped :)

[@R3mixx]

jus wait til he finds out abt shine wave dashing and shine combos and shine shield pressure😭

[@gianlucasabatini2817]

Need this guy to rematch Mkok in this game frfr

[@devincarlislegamemaster]

Nice vid I’m will call you the street smash bro god

[@ice5615]

a cool fun fact for this game, the purple screen always appears when the player is guaranteed to die, no DI could save them (and it's actually accurate unlike smash ultimate)

[@hazels7967]

I know they're annoying for players but the false finish is super hype when watching a match

[@ice5615]

@@hazels7967 that's honestly fair, on a hype aspect it is pretty sick

[@irusu.]

I love the gameplay I just need to understand neutral in this game and how to move even faster. Hopping, short and long feels really good, the momentum and overall inputs are super clean, I wanna play something fast like sheik/fox or something ez comboey like sora

[@DoctorMario606]

Ranno would probably be up your alley

[@HuebertEllowit-LOL]

yeaaah more rivalsss

[@asherlucero8111]

I wanna see pro ultimate player vs pro rivals 2 player

[@MrGalath]

Woah Riddles and Rivals?

[@haruga]

your facial expressions are hilarious haha

[@ferventblack]

I need to learn fundamentals. My placement matches put me in silver… where are some resources for fundamentals?

[@mardelfidilio2759]

Cooking bro gs 🧑‍🍳🔥

[@gooimi]

yessss play more!!!!

[@alonso1075]

u would go crazy with Olimpia in one, or when they release her in Rivals 2

Blue comment

[@benjimiguel17]

Lol what if they added an fgc rep, like maybe from that my little pony looking fighting game

[@br1cck]

Please more

[@diaboli2687]

Hi riddles I'm the absolute idiot who embarrassed themselves in your stream today, glad to see the good content keep it up.

[@ninkstheultimate3376]

I just wanna play the battle royale mode

[@SamuraiiEdits]

What devices is this game on

[@sincereduck9405]

just pc for now, they wanna start porting to different platforms in 1-2 years

[@Bluefire6567]

This game is too hard for me ig. I’m better than average at most platform fighters but im like the worlds worst rivals player.

[@trevor4723]

You can do it man just keep playing ranked or I actually suggest finding someone around your skill level and grind for a session

[@xSABRET00TH]

yeaaaaa keep playing. its the only way. i was decent at rivals 1 but most importantly the movement feels REALLY GOOD.

[@ieoeurir1470]

Nice

[@pisos2.0]

Not the furry smash 😭

[@RlRl0422]

Rivals of aether is definitely a game of all time

[@thefutureisbread]

true rivals 2 takes a dump on it

[@wegottem4114]

my shit wont start up sum1 hep me

[@wegottem4114]

nvm

[@thepieguy6352]

From a spectators perspective this game feels weird to watch coming from coming from ultimate; like it’s almost missing something but I can’t quite tell

[@Mirage_KB]

It's the slower physics and knock back, coming from ultimate. Much faster in that game compared to rivals.

[@BebehCookieIcecream]

Gameplay looks great but presentation still seems rough

[@trunksfgc3840]

I think Rivals 1 is definitely better in my opinion

[@shadewful.]

Let me guess, because it has workshop and dlc?

[@revelation2-9]

In some ways Rivals 1 is better, but Rivals 2 gets other aspects done better. Both have their strengths and I love both, but Rivals 2 will have better long-term longevity because it is more accessible.

[@trunksfgc3840]

@@shadewful. Because of artstyle, gameplay differences and my favorite character isnt in there. Workshop and dlcs too i suppose

[@PurposeDriven7_]

Hard disagree here, rivals 1s gameplay very linear compared to 2.

[@thefutureisbread]

1 is trash compared to 2

[@user-wk6lz4lz6o]

69th like

[@ULTRALIONE]

the artstyle is incredible but im ngl why does every platform fighter aside from Smash have floaty ass physics. The ground movement is slidey seemingly melee-esque which isn't a bad thing if you like that, but the aerial physics in every platform fighter aside from Smash always has that floaty ass vibe. I don't get it

[@sinis3r]

Its more fun that way imo

[@Bomberman64x]

You fell off on kazuya at least there is still tea to watch

[@PillowyMound]

Damn this game looks like got garbage design-wise. At least the gameplay seems solid.

[@JeanKP14]

Most people don't agree with you lol

[@Anonymous25491]

Just a worse smash
