Kassane! Game looks awesome!

[@bentrieschmann]

Yuito. Kassane was fun, but Yuito's team I like a lot better.

[@idofx8722]

Normally I prefer melee characters, however Kassane’s abilities are more my style. Her personality is also more…relatable.

[@birdgang2939]

@@bentrieschmann I’m potentially going this route too, Kasane has a play style stronger suiting to my preferences but Yuito’s team and their utility (especially Luka’s teleportation offering flash steps and Tsumugi’s clairvoyance offering better perfect dodge and counter options) seems like a worthwhile trade off to a method of combat I wasn’t meshing with as well as I did for Kasane. And I say that very much loving her juggling and combo chaining options but I think I’ll be saving my preferred play style for later on. I still am holding out for the idea that everyone is going to be playable and have their own skill trees and movesets but if that isn’t the case I’ll be fine with the otherwise fantastic movesets Yuito and Kasane have.

[@YeOldeMachine]

Yuito all day. Im always a strength build , and I love close range melee.

i hope this game does well we need some good arpgs

[@NuclearAbyss]

Me too. I'm really enjoying the game, haven't been able to just play it for hrs on end. but I'm 15hr into the first campaign and the story takes a few turns that left me like "wtf" also the combat gets crazy fun with the assist from the other characters.

Can't wait to play Scarlet Nexus, the Demo was brilliant!

[@keiasai3282]

I'm super excited about this game right now! Played the demo, had fun and pre ordered it on steam. Now it's time to watch the Boomstick video to get prepared! Thank you for this great video!

[@keiasai3282]

Also something to add on the combo strings: if you unlocked the air dodge ability, you could further extend the LLH attack by cancel the last heavy attack with dodge and then continue comboing

[@talal2000tbh]

Playing Yuito first cuz he seems like the less technical one of the two. Gonna finish his campaign and then play Kasane's when I'm a little more seasoned

[@wintersong3099]

Then you'll find out that Kasane is even less technical compared to Yuito😂, Y at least need to precise dodge, K just click SAS then done

[@krave489]

I'll start with Yuito, the teleportation skill can be used in the air and get some extra reach on jumping to things. Have a feeling it might be a bit broken in places.

[@Moe-Scola]

I think k I'd probably go with Kasane first since I liked having more range. Both were fun to mess around with in the demo.

[@realll3506]

I’m going with yuito he felt nice and fun.

[@dogwithsunglasses4051]

Yuito has the Smash in 3:10 as well. Its even required for some quests. I picked Yuito first and dont regret it.

[@MisterJax]

I started with Yuito, played to phase 5, then did the same with Kasane. After that I alternated between the two changing between each phase. On Phase 10 with Yuito now. Will finish ksane afterwards. I think alternating between the two is the best way to play.

[@SakuraWulf]

I've stopped playing many games on release. Going through my backlog and your Scarlet Nexus videos have been helpful... like the tip about blinking to obtain items through impassable terrain or concurrent SAS to dupe + electro enemies. Any videos above 1080 resolution are a plus as well.

This channel makes such good videos about upcoming games, unlike most of the "10 things you need to know" crap you find on yt. Wish people would start subbing faster...but life is like that I guess. In any case, I'm sold, close range and good defense is my (awkward) middle name. Thx for the info BG.

[@BoomstickGaming]

Thanks for that!

[@mukuro8033]

I picked Yuito since well I'm a guy. Then loved Kasane the moment she was introduced only to kind of hate her later for you know REASONS. Then loved her again later because you know REASONS. This game really pushes you to play both characters doubling the experience and hell I'm not complaining. My only issue was the camera work on PC and it takes a lot of time getting used to. Edit: After learning to combo Yuito hell I feel like Vergil and got too motivated lol...

[@killakame-3434]

Don't use lock on features. Off auto lock on. And lower the camera movement. And finally update to 1.03

[@mukuro8033]

[@itriyum]

I picked Kasane and im a guy, so

[@copingflower1909]

playing Yuito in my eyes is where I find the most fun in the game since with Kasane your playing a lot more in the back and away from the action, were as with Yuito, you can get a lot more close and personal with the enemys

[@RagnarokMic]

Loved Code Vein, so can't wait to see what they do with a full on RPG (opposed to Soulsian). In the demo I preferred Kasane's base melee, so I'm leaning that way; but I also sort of liked Yuito's buffs a bit more, so it's really a toss up. Might literally flip a coin.

[@MoonRose-Valentine]

What do you mean by "full on rpg"? In I think a real rpg allows you to be your own character rather than some other character, playing someone else only lets you think like them and use play styles only that one character uses. That one factor changes a level of an RPG, a true rpg doesn't just allow you to be you're own character, but also allows you to choose how your character goes about the world(whether if he or she becomes a hero or a villain and even involves redemption arcs depending what path you chose). This is still an RPG, bit its a set character and, from what I can tell, a set path rpg. It looks like it leaves little room for imagination runs more like a book in the sense that most games play, still an RPG, just more kin to most other action style games. Most other RPGs that are labeled under an RPG still have a set path, but slows you to be you to an extent. The rpg I want to see is full on, you are the protagonist of your own and the story and NPCs can completely and maybe even slightly alter due to your actions. Sorry I'm a big nerd into RP stuff, so I'm really passionate in things of this sort. Like I said, still an RPG. I'll still play it, bit I feel like I'll treat it as if I'm playing like red dead or even Assassin's Creed.

[@jonnybravo595]

@@MoonRose-Valentine ok dude thats your opinion lol

[@AverageMGREnjoyer6353]

Just got the Game Thanks By the way

[@Morichoradio]

The main difference is that yuito is a Close quarter combat swordsman who excels in fast pace and ground attacks so he has the charge level 2 attack while kasane is more of an aerial type attacker. Her combos are complex but w/ a little training, i think it wont be a nuisance. Main disadvantage is that yuito is melee so you gotta always maintain a short distance from the enemy whenever doing rush attacks and PK follow ups. Kasane on the other hand has less dps since her aerial attack combos are focused more on basic attavks rather than charged attacks which lessens her opportunity to regen her PK gauge

[@leoneyamada5408]

im playing kasane because she has range, aoe, and gets air dash way early... she is probably less damaging but fighting with aoe in a game with mostly number fights sounds better then 1 on 1 combate all the time

[@captainjoeyny8403]

I just got the game, This video is great. I’m gunna check out Kasane first!!

[@TrvisXXIII]

Glad you’re doing this on PlayStation, hate the button mapping on the Xbox controller, along with the fact of how heavily marketed this game is with them

[@straysheep1766]

Cry more lol

[@cjsjdcjsjdxahxjs2165]

The button mappings different on xbox?? But both controllers have nearly identical layouts except the TouchPad. Also why does it matter the game was marketed with xbox? I know plenty of god tier games which have been marketed by either Sony or Xbox so there's really no difference.

[@TrvisXXIII]

@@cjsjdcjsjdxahxjs2165 lol I don’t like the button mapping because in my brain A is usually to confirm and B is to cancel, but it’s swapped on the X box controller, along with a bunch of other things. And I think that it’s stupid that the game has this exclusive promotion with Xbox when I don’t intend on playing it on one

[@Saili_Orig]

You’ll eventually play both anyway, choosing yuito seems like a good first choice because Kasane will do some actions which you’ll understand if you play her story, in short it seems that Yuito’s story is supposed to be played first, and kasane’s story afterward… but if you wanna play kasane’s story first that’s fine too just remember you wont get surprised anymore if you play Yuito’s story…. I made that mistake.

[@Westy90_]

Yuito has a Flaming Sword with Fire Tornado my decision is made

[@egil9859]

I thought the same

[@JeffersonAirplane21]

True, he also has the immunity shield which is very fun and the invisibility. But kisane has a suuuuper fun main attack plus that time slow down.

[@DbonnRP]

im acutely legit mad they said you can play either first. it was clearly made to play yuito first.

[@AethQueen]

I'm definitely going with Kasane first because I'm partial to ranged/mage fighting styles (and she's a female protagonist, obviously), but I like what I saw with Yuito, too. Overall, gonna try both at some point for sure :)

[@Ammy-q4w]

I'm a bit late to the party but I'll probably start as Kasane since I feel like she has more unique combat options while Yuito is just like any melee fighter in an Rpg

[@AxxmorbidfloristxxC]

I thought for sure I was gonna play as yuito but after trying the demo, kasanes whirlwind lightning buffs on her knives won me over. Definitely going to try both simultaneously if possible. If not, than kasane first. I was also surprised by the creative quick time events. Hope they keep it up through out the game because the demo was really good.

[@jackmac66]

Best strategy for any action games or rpg period

[@neporep9645]

I'm going to start with Yuito like I did in the demo. They both look fun but I got pretty immersed in Yuito's story.

[@stevelafser9619]

Great video, Alex. These synergies you shared will be really useful when I get around to playing the game (just recently started P5 Strikers, so I won't be starting this anytime soon). Since you mentioned you get the most out of playing each character, do you know how long a playthrough might take? Are we talking like 25 hours for each character, or is it 50 hours for each? Oh, and I'll likely start with Kasane, as that's more like my style in action RPGs.

[@BoomstickGaming]

Just beat my first playthrough on hard. It took me 23 hours. New "endgame" combat vid coming out in a few hours btw.

[@sLo-ug7ls]

[@10-OSwords]

I think my demo had a flaw I could not teleport through that fence, wonder if anybody else had that prob. Wasn't there also a super or something you could do by pressing all four specials at once? I thought it kept prompting me to do that but it never seemed to work. The gameplay was very fast paced, maybe I was misreading the prompt & it was just showing that I could use any of those options not all at once. Anyway; you should really be getting paid to put tutorials in games, great breakdown again.

[@vindex7309]

Playing as Yuito first and his CQC is kinda hit or miss- literally. I’m having a hard time starting combos on new enemies with this guy especially from stealth. His short attack range sometimes means that he attacks right through the enemy model without connecting. It can be especially frustrating to defeat one enemy and waste four attacks trying to connect on the next. Prolly need to initiate with kinesis or area attack to ensure a hit, it’s just annoying. I do love the hyper aggressive fighting tho. Gemma’s skill is invaluable, much better than the dodge especially when timed to enemy attacks.

wait you can If you mean the dash you can cancel it with attack and you can repeat attack -dash-attack-dash so you kinda spam the first string of the combo if you mean canceling the perfect dodge attack by another dodge so you do not do the perfect dodge attack you can cancel it
