"Lethal Tempo" would have gone so hard as the name for Project L

[@Lozzu]

Evo, Radiant, and Rising Thunder are previous projects Tom Cannon has worked on, not codenames for Project L

yeah i didnt get the confusion of the tweet, the guy literally is the creator of EVO, like its a pretty well known name?

Go figure, league player doesn't know shit about fighting games running his mouth for money lmao

[@robyluenrenton2798]

Lethal Tempo is hands down the best suggestion ive ever seen for me, as Fighting Games do have a sense of Rhythm hence the "Tempo", and also have a sense of relation with League.

[@Szu-lul]

"Lethal" and "Tempo" aren't terms used in fighting games. It sounds cool but doesn't fit the genre

[@dissidius13]

lol tempo is justified because it's a league term ​@@Szu-lul

[@kindredzpirit6046]

I think just Double Kill, or Double KO would've been better, the first one clearly appalling to League, the second one being closer to the actual name of the game and mixing the first one with a more typical fighting game term. I think the intent of 2hko is that it sounds like a shortened version of the name of a game like it happens with many FGs like SF6, UMVC, SSBU, etc.

[@Ridorim]

It's a bit too close to Lethal League in my opinion.

[@dannygoblin5579]

@@Szu-lulit doesnt have to fit the genre?? 😭 tf do the names 'guilty gear' or 'injustice' have to do with fighting

2XKO looks like writing Ekko so I'm gonna call it Ekko

"Wait, so there's two games about Ekko + an anime ? Which is which ?"

[@fernandocardoso113]

SAME xd

[@pyrojkl]

That was my first thought, Clearly lol project managers were in a room with elon talking about putting X in names more

[@RenzerHMR]

I thought the same but I'd call it Double KO edit: I just found another comment calling it Double KO lol

[@Mapler459]

2KO (Tekko?)

[@SangoProductions213]

I honestly didn't mind Project L as a name.

[@yorickvlt1021]

Valorant is actually shortened to "Valo" quite often in france

[@Tanakara]

it's Vává here in Brazil.

[@ZeesterWright]

It’s Valo in the Middle East too

[@GarethXL]

nearly everywhere in eat asia

[@-cactus.raven-]

Hell, all my NA friends and I shorten it to Valo or Val. More in chat than when speaking but still

[@albertochavez7631]

It's valo in Argentina too

[@brokenwing51]

To be fair Evo, Radiant, and Rising Thunder are not names originally for 2xko, Evo was for Evolution tour which is the biggest fighting game tournament (which the cannon Brothers created.) Rising Thunder was a robot fighting game that was originally made before they were bought by riot. Radiant was also another project from them. So Tom Cannon is actually explaining that his older projects names weren't something he immediately loved but grew up and fell in love with

[@stonks6926]

Two Ex Key Oh. T.E.K.O. I'm calling it Teko

[@eduardothomazl]

Here in Brasil, "teko" is to close to "tekar", a word that illustrate some problematic substances (⚡), if you know what I mean...

[@sinbadnotbad]

Teko in Indonesia is Kettle, so it's kinda funny to me

[@safeat4505]

Texaco

[@arkumek9260]

just call it taco at this point

[@sharcraz211]

Honestly, Teko sounds pretty good, makes me think of unist.

[@croissantboy256]

I read somewhere that they should've called it 'Lethal Tempo' and i thought it was cool and way better than whatever we got

[@fritchim5765]

Give it the hunter hunter treatment. 2KO feels good to me

[@Omegaweaponsguy2]

This is it, the perfect solution, imma be calling it 2KO too

[@alessandroseverino8222]

Just like the basketball series?

[@Nzyth]

It isn't pronounced as hunter times hunter? I'm thinking 2 times KO...

[@bloyomind1on1]

Exactly ima call it 2KO or pronounce it like one word (Two-Ko)

[@maikschneider6433]

i think 2KO is too close to the 2K-Games like WWE2K**

[@buboniccraig896]

My friend said it should've been called "Lethal Tempo" and he's so right for that

[@VagrantMalice]

I'm just going to start calling it "Double KO"

[@ihatepower4580]

Yeah thats sounds good

[@MagiRemmie]

Honestly that is literally what the name is. 2 times KO is just double.

[@KiansEgo]

my instinct was “double knockout” i get it’s not simple but cmon i feel like people are being purposely obtuse

[@Gilthwixt1]

@@KiansEgothe Double Knockout would be amazing if that were the actual name of the game and 2XKO was just the styled abbreviation, but it's not. They didn't call it Double Knockout, they straight up said "It's pronounced as spelled", which is dumb.

[@vladdx]

2KO for me

[@izzaazzurri]

not refrencing LoL in the name actually opens up the possibility of guest fighter/collab in the future. But still, 2xko is just unbelievable

[@mylesriley2976]

I saw a comment that suggested the name "Lethal Tempo" and I think that name would be amazing for this game.

[@KingTaltia]

I'm gonna be real, they really missed out on this one. Symultaniously tells you "hey this is a fighting game" and "This is a fast paced game" all while being something League players would double take on and go "WAIT A SECOND THAT'S LEAGUE!"

[@lce_Queen]

The problem with that is if you wanna get better and search something like “lethal tempo yasuo tips” all you’ll get is league videos.

[@deadhelix]

Lethal Tempo is good or if they’re so insistent on naming the game what you do in the game, call it double kill cause even that still relates to league (with the announcer when you get two kills)

[@TzrcWolf_]

I actually had a 25 minute argument with a friend why Lethal Tempo wouldn't make sense. It doesn't at all imply that the game is a 2v2 fighting game, it is quite generic, and it doesn't sound good for a brawler game not like mortal combat.

[@rKhael53]

True

[@TheAwesomeSoul]

I'm personally calling it "Double Knockout".

[@leonard3826]

pretty sure it will eventually just be "hey wanna play some 2X?"

[@Braxtonkai]

I'm more into triple x

[@arceususedsplash300]

Never did I imagine, I would be threatened by Necrit with a Flintlock 0:54

[@mrsquee9280]

A lot of the “broader audience” that I’ve seen talking about the name have all been saying that the name sucks, I would be legitimately surprised if Riot let this name go through to release unchanged

[@patrickcarter2829]

Agreed. Also, why do they want to distance themselves from the LoL branding yet use the characters from it?

[@Cinderbrooke]

Keep in mind that negativity online tends to reach further and wider than positivity.

[@valmiro4164]

People also hated Valorant when it was announced, it had absolutely nothing to do with the game, look where they are now.

[@victorzoela7879]

@@valmiro4164 that's because valorant is its own whole universe, story and characters. Also Valorant still sounds cool

[@Machosause]

​@@CinderbrookeBruh, I don't think there's a silent majority in favor of the name

[@salvadormiramorillas6862]

Just call it Double Kill (as you have to defeat the 2 characters your enemy controls) and DK as an abbreviation, it fits and works perfectly. Even though the concept of a double kill is massively associated with League, is not exclusive to.

[@ShadowrunnerSR3]

I think ill talk about it as Double KO (double for short) or Exko (kinda ekko reference)

[@Hydrodictyon]

People will literally call 2XKO Project L, cause it does one good thing: *it fits*

[@bright554]

I thought they called it 2xko because two times knockout because you need to knockout your opponent twice to win

[@Sergioshi_]

which is why Double KO would be a better name and way less confusing

[@bennie1079]

Well… Gotta say, your analyzing skills are impeccable!

[@johnex2154]

I feel like a possible way to refer to it is 2ko, following the trend of not pronouncing the x in anime titles, and 2ko flows a lot easier. 2x and ko just sound strange and 2k is already taken by nba

[@ivaivaivaivan7]

I refuse to call it anything than "L" by this point

[@nobium6107]

I saw in a reply “Lethal Tempo” would actually be a good fighting game name

[@Szu-lul]

No… because there is neither "lethal" nor "tempo" in fighting games. Lethal Tempo is just a name lol players would connect with. Watch Leffens video on this topic

[@dissidius13]

​@@Szu-lulidi0t "tempo" is a league term. it's on brand. you really want it to branch out of league while still using its characters?

[@Szu-lul]

​@@dissidius13 Lmao you calling me the idiot when you can't even read my 2-line comment. OK... I literally said lethal tempo would only be a term league player would connect with. The term "tempo" isn't even that defining to league as it is much more known and used in card games. I bet the average player has literally no clue what the concept of tempo even means in league...

[@filipivis9427]

Point still being the name doesn't necessarily have to be anything concerning a "Fighting Game" just something that fits and is a reference to their other projects like wtf does the name "Valorant" have to do with a FPS shooter, except that it's a reference to League Lore and Lethal Tempo i just a better name overall than 2xko.

[@heartless7494]

[@nylana4552]

the issue i have with the name is that it is focusing alot in the already existing fighting games comunity but name wont atract new people when first look at it, it means fighting games stuff but new people in the genre how will they realise the name meaning? sure it wont change the product and might still be good fighting game either way but from a markting standpoint is really weird that they chose that name

[@SakuraAhri]

2XKO will be called 'Double Knockout' or 'Double KO' 😅

btw, the shortening of names has it local variations. Like in here in Brasil most ppl will use celulol (celular means cellphone, + lol) rather than WildRift. Ppl here are already calling it Tchucko and 2 chico.
