Don't Park on the Grass 2024 Highlights | Rivals II Top 8

[@brogoyle]

I’d like to think that Cakeassault’s Heat Wave performance has singlehandedly summoned every fleet player overnight

[@jatinmarcob2128]

Its funny how quick people went from, "yeah Fleet kinda struggles," to now, "Hold up Fleet goated with the sauce..."

[@thelyinggrayson]

Yo there was some sick editing in this. Love the pace thats set up!

[@inatreefort]

That leffen icon though

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Nothing to see here fleet is perfectly balanced

[@mia_2043]

Funny thing is Kragg is almost certainly more busted but he's kneecapped in tournament by his dogwater Fleet matchup

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

@mia_2043 and then some say Clairen is best or Ranno or even zetterburn. IMO the game is fairly well balanced. Kragg might be a little strong but the community constantly arguing about what character is best means the balance is pretty good.

[@shadowbytheway1686]

​@@x9x9x9x9x9 EXACTLY OMG. The game is incredibly balanced which is really cool to see.

[@thelyinggrayson]

Lmao hehehe

[@IShotLazer]

Fleet has 2 reps right now that are getting top 8s. This is opposed to the like 50 reps for Kragg, Clairen and Ranno. But yeah, taking clear outlier data totally makes sense. This isn't even mentioning the Cake works people just the same with his Forsburn.

[@4xzx4]

I wonder when, if ever, CakeAssault will be dethroned...

[@mattenjoy99]

great highlights

[@jordib.p.9407]

the 2 dislikes are from Forsburn and his clone

[@coda4981]

It took over 5 minutes for a character other than Fleet to get a clip unless I missed one… I’m sure it’ll be fine

[@ojeinoway6968]

Oops! All Fleets!

[@cuckhands]

Thank you for mentioning this.

[@Shinybutu]

AYY its the HOMIE JETTT ON STREAM lets go

[@Allen-jj7vv]

Why so many fleet there😅

[@revelation2-9]

Kragg terrorism was getting out of hand.

[@VisualTraining]

Good matchup spread tbh. I don’t think she outright loses any matchups. Plus she’s fun 🎉

[@Maw0822]

​@@VisualTrainingshe def loses to Clairen. No rongunshu though

[@einztree5189]

god i love fleets of aether

[@akshayy_xd]

Whats double stick DI???

[@Shing_]

you sdi with both controller stick and c stick(right stick)

[@DarktoneX]

The balance in this game is hilarious!!!! (in a bad way!)

[@De_an]

[LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

[@DarktoneX]

@@De_an Yeah go watch ANY tier list friend, the game is not balanced right now.

[@De_an]

​@@DarktoneX Most of the tier lists have agreed that there are no B, C, D, or F tier characters in this game. And the ones that do include those tiers usually have 1 character in C tier (guess who), 2 characters in B tier, 5 characters in A tier, and 2 characters in S tier. That is some of the most normal balancing I've seen in a game.

[@Victinitotodilepro]

why is it all fleet

[@Maw0822]

No top Clairens to balance the ecosystem

[@DarktoneX]

Because the balancing is extremely off currently

[@De_an]

@@DarktoneX That statement couldn't be further from the truth considering the worst character in this is on the same level as Peach in Melee. Literally every single character is viable, it's just that the top player mains Fleet so we're going through the cycle where everybody thinks that character is broken for a short period of time.

[@DarktoneX]

@@De_an lol just the top player? Did you miss the absolute fact where in most of the tournaments, its Fleet Kragg Wrastor?

[@PurposeDriven7_]

Would love to see Cake dominate in this game, he’s so insanely good.

[@PatOnTheBack321]

Cake is really good, but hundreds of hours ahead of everyone else by having access to beta builds a whole year before release. Happy he's doing well, but we'll see how things go as people get more time in the game under their belts.

[@BluBlazer]

@@PatOnTheBack321 Can't wait for Cakeassault to not win every single tourney.....that'll be greeeeat!

[@nebulisnoobis102]

@@PatOnTheBack321I think his experience as a top player in the first game really adds to it too

[@PatOnTheBack321]

@@nebulisnoobis102 being able to cultivate how you play comes from that experience. Having more time to cultivat got him to be this dominant. Both ideas aren't mutually exclusive. When other pros get as much time under their belts, Cake probably won't be as dominant.

[@funstorm1789]

yall better make some adjustments that keep the 2 year old pre-cracked players from straight stealing tourneys, its a real shame and spit to the face of the competitive scene.

[@DarktoneX]

Exactly, but unfortunately, I believe this was intentional from devs. They wanted "high level (lol)" gameplay at tournaments to create hype. Too bad its slightly backfiring.

[@De_an]

@@DarktoneX Bro, you're hating on this game way too fucking much. I have seen 3 of your comments in this video alone dedicated to hating on pre-cracked players and how their "stealing" tourneys. The thing is, even without the cracked build, do you really think that anybody else stood a chance? Of course the Melee players are going to succeed in the game that plays similar to Melee! Of course the Rivals 1 players are going to succeed in the sequel that brings back a lot of mechanics from their game! Even if they didn't have access to the cracked build, those players would still have a significant advantage over everyone else because they have knowledge and experience from other games that carry over into this one. There's no universe where New Platform Fighter Player McGee becomes a top player in this game, especially within the first month of its release.

[@DarktoneX]

@@De_an Whoa, calm down there sparky. You think im the only one saying these things? I wasnt saying new players. Its disheartening seeing some matchups straight up. You really want a meta where Fleet and Kragg just win? Look, Leffen (Melee and GG Evo winner and vet of plat fighters for how many years now) grinded the game, is rank 1 EU, and still had trouble against Fleet. Low and behold, the turn out by character for most of these tournaments are usually Kragg, Fleet, Ranno, Wrastor. Bless AMSA for playing Maypul. Not only that, but you're just living up the words of people like Leff and Mang0 who both agree that the Rivals community doesnt like to hear any feedback, complaints, or anything.

[@Ashes2Ashes817]

@@DarktoneXI think you have a point but the fact that leffen got top 3 at his first tournament is a good sign not a bad one in my opinion. I also think cakeassault is just a fucking beast as well though and deserves all the credit, broken character or not. Watch when the nerfs come for fleet whether he switches to forseburn or stays fleet, or picks whoever. I bet he’ll still be winning lans for a minute.

[@DarktoneX]

@@Ashes2Ashes817 Oh for sure. Leff getting top 3 is an awesome thing. To me, its just difficult to watch Fleet just snuff other characters out for free basically. Now with that said however, yes, Cakeassault is an amazing player. In no way I am saying that Fleet is carrying the players that chose her, its just very clear that she has very strong advantages. For anyone interested, Mew2King put out a video analysis of Leffen vs Fleet and it was both informative and eye opening. He even points out in the video that Fleet's UpAir shouldnt have killed when it did. Leff was at 120% sure, but compare that to Zetter foward-strong (without ignite) which does not kill, especially versus heavies and floaties. The balance is insane.

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

Why is CakeAssault's pfp the endoplasmic reticulum?

[@cBtv3]

yo how does bbatts/mystersol have that skin for fleet tf

[@MarciVHS]

only available on dev pcs so far

[@1brxmtgxg1x]

Fleet has too many options to do anything she wants to, or they nerf the shit out of her or they have to buff everyother character.

[@DarktoneX]

[@AJcantwin]

Where is Maypul and Kragg 😔

[@mercedesjacevedosilva9146]

is not there

[@k.w.a.m]

Big studan

[@BOBAIRTOE]

Is that fleet skin a mod?

[@luvsik7]

If you’re talking about mystery sol’s, no. It’s unlockable I believe in some single player mode or something. The other ones are available in the store

[@Gunk44]

Console port would be nice

[@thatoneantoid51]

We gonna talk about ROA on xbox or nah?

[@firecrystal2692]

Cool

[@jed9902]

leffen’s truly the fighting game goat. Melee, DBZ, Strive, and now Rivals 2. Most people are lucky to be a top competitor in one game. Mad respect.

[@rightasreine]

whyre ppl who played a cracked version of the game allowed to compete

[@DarktoneX]

I believe this was intentional from devs. They wanted "high level (lol)" gameplay at tournaments to create hype. Too bad its slightly backfiring.

[@De_an]

What, you think they like changed the values of some moves or something? If they actually did that, I don't think the players would be allowed to compete and this video wouldn't have been uploaded to the official channel. The players probably only got the dev exclusive skin and that's it, which is harmless because, y'know, it's just a skin. Also this is a copy provided by one of the devs, so that is probably how the skin. It's not cracked at all.

[@DarktoneX]

@@De_an The term "cracked" refers to the fact that even though Beta weekends were only for 3 days, one a month, people figured out that if they enabled offline mode on steam, they could keep the beta and play with other people offline. So, most people that were honest just waited for each beta weekend, while a large group of players (namely the people winning currently) were able to log hundreds of more hours labbing the game than everyone else.

[@thatvalo3thn]

Is the Maypul Mada the same Mada from NRG Val?

[@atypicaloddity]

I don't care if Fleet is strong. But to be unwatchably boring and miserable to play against is a bit much

[@not-the-main-character]

Agreed, this character makes me unhappy to play against and watch. Needs to be changed imo

[@readyplayerthree3]

She can totally get some sick stuff but yeahhhhh
