THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KRAGG IN RIVALS OF AETHER 2

[@judearmstrong1260]

By FAR the best Kragg guide out there right now. Also Smash attack sounds way better than strong attack.

Given how shitty Nintendo is, "Strong" is the better term and already a fighting game standard.

thank you did the grab combo in a school tourny and now my friends hate me 10/10

[@AdamSrgnt]

all killer, no filler. great guide.

[@Sizzyl]

currently bronze, will see what changes after this guide edit: 1 hour later and I went from 500 -> 580 rating with only 1 loss (because I got a little silly), great guide. big takeaways from this I got that weren't obvious from the game alone which helped me get those wins I think (before this guide I had 2 hours of playtime vs friends and 1 hour online): -up-air combos into up-air -back air is NEVER a kill move, always a damage dealer to lead into further combos -down throw 99.99% of the time (maybe its cuz i'm low elo but every now and then an upthrow mixup did well) -leave big pillars by the side of the stage and play on that side of the stage (this will make people hit you into them and you live to like 200% always unless they break it) -use your block (the one you throw) whenever you don't know what to do. it's really nice to have, might be worth labbing out the little block down b thing shown in this video, can also easily lead to free combo starters/damage and is generally hard to punish -your down-b (down special) is a really good tool and spikes super hard pretty easily -side b can be used as a recovery mixup tool, use it sometimes -side b can be cancelled using jump if you hit someone (or their sheild) and has superarmor (i knew that last bit) -don't spam a to finish jabbing, the first hit of jab leads into better options -down smash is king (i actually already felt/knew this from in game but it's worth mentioning in text) -nair is very fast and somewhat spammable -forward air is primarily a kill/get away from me move -it might be worth considering getting in the habit of pummeling (I always forget to and did while getting these wins)

[@Squiggles78]

Ahhh, found the source of all the kraggs playing exactly the same way.

[@ItsAK9]

Thank you so much for actually going in depth on the moves and more importantly explaining COUNTERPLAY! I really appreciate the effort!!

[@ninjay345]

I typed "rivals of aether 2 kragg" and this vid didnt come up. Im lucky it showed up on my home page. Great job w the guide! Thanks for uploading this!

[@mayurbhat9707]

finally a good kragg guide!! love how much info you crammed while being easy to understand, tysm :)

[@dragonstar_-ui2sk]

Nice guide, very well put together! The joy of Kragg is learning what stupid shenanigans you can string togethet that you shouldn’t be able to, happy for all the new Kragglings. (Example: hitting sideB on shield lets you cancel, but they can keep holding shield and punish the followup. Unless…you jump and air grab them out of shield…)

[@Piggles64099]

Great tutorial + my humble king

[@Dud-in]

Please more Kragg guides! This was the most helpful intro guide I have found so far as someone looking for BnBs

[@kohalurker]

i like these guides a lot, especially your pace. I'll keep watching!

[@ForgedRaven]

Bro thanks for this guide. You got everything covered as far as I know. I played Kragg in the 1st game but this is new to me. Been loving Krag. Thanks bro!

[@Jekernot]

Had to watch at 0.75x speed just to keep up with you! So much great info!

[@leoshawottt1988]

This guide is the perfect breakdown! I was struggling to understand how some moves work but now I see the way of Rock. I will mow proceed to bully my friends.

[@parkacin]

I can see this guide being useful. As someone new to fighting games, I realized how much I don't know from this video

[@sahhhbrahhh6408]

Awesome vid man. Just went through shit incredibly fast. Appreciate you. Subbed :D

[@PedroWentBlind]

10/10 Been waiting for exactly this video since launch

[@ohlookameme9917]

This was super helpful, I wasn't getting as much value out of my grabs as i could have been

[@gatsbee]

Great video dude. Hadn't thought about how messed up the pummel mixups were

[@TheWaterstyle]

thank you! I struggle to kill with kragg so I will work on those strong confirms

[@spaceace9103]

The way you explain a characters tools and how 2 use them is helpful.

[@terrywong7677]

Awesome video, looking forward to the neutral special video

[@mywifeleftmesonowimayoutub7729]

great guide!

[@mojito815]

DO MORE GUIDES PLEASE!! You are awesome!! Just subscribed

[@clairexpectance]

10/10. Rock vid would be kickass. EDIT: oh yeah, there are ledge attack/special & getup attack/special that you skipped (situational but important to know, at least the specials). Also Kragg's taunt has a hitbox.

[@imakeppsandwich]

15:13 best part of this guide

[@NastehtimeTV]

Thanks this was very helpful

[@AllBladesCut]

I didnt know regular pumbles added hitstun/ and or changed throw angles.

[@Popsvoice]

It doesn’t, it removes regrab protection, meaning downthrow is now a chain grab instead of them being immune to grabs after the dthrow

[@ProofBlock]

I don’t believe it does it just gets rid of regrab protection

[@EricBehaviorAnalyst]

that "HUH?" was so real

[@wadd678]

With the controller noise in the background it could be the type of microphone you are using. There are two types being "dynamic" and "condenser" mics and it seems like you have a Condenser microphone which will pick up any sound in the room and is more sensitive. If you want to not have controller noises in the background then maybe it might be worth it to switch to a dynamic microphone which is a lot less sensitive and will only really pick up your voice. Only downside to dynamic being that you need to be close to the microphone so if thats a downside for you then stick to what you got (ADHD the goat sometimes and I had a microphone research hyperfixation at one point lmao)

[@mario-nk7be]

13:13 im pretty sure that you're also always minus on hit after hitting a grounded opponent with pillar

[@PepsiChan205]

Playing this game fir the firstime was ass bc idk how to play, but i like being a rock beetle so i kept playign and now about a week in and its my new fav platform fighters i even bought the first game to :)

[@ProofBlock]

Glad you are enjoying it

[@Doomer3003]

Thanks for the video man. What are your favorite maps or least favorite maps when you play as Kragg ?

[@ProofBlock]

I like the ice map and the rock map

[@homeyworkey]

good kragg guide but i would want to know how the pros recover with kragg. you touched on the more basic stuff but there is also cancelling the side b you didn't mention to slow you down, and then you have throwing the rock and hitting it with side b to get another jump (?) which i have found tricky to do myself so i want a tutorial for that

[@ProofBlock]

I’ll teach you how to do that when I figure it out

[@Skunkmonkk]

Awesome guide. Advanced Kragg, when?

[@ImaWill]

Hey man since you seem like you know what you’re talking about I gotta ask you a question. I main Kragg and my friend mains Lox, whenever we are fighting the experience is kind of boring since he just like over abuses shield, parry, and grab. How would you recommend I switch it up to where using those isn’t the best option, typically when a match starts I do a dash attack or like grab a rock and pressure him with it. Thank you! (Also love the guide btw)

[@ProofBlock]

Try mixing in some Ariel command grabs and down b to mess up their timing

[@marcsteinbruegge254]

Could we see inputs on these? that would help a lot trying these out.

[@ProofBlock]

I literally just finished the Clairen guide as of reading this but from now on I’ll try and remember to turn them on that’s a great idea

[@ShadowMikku]

honestly a lot of this feels like it is just for the cases of people who don't know how to DI well and you're making Kragg sound way better than he is.(not that I'm gonna stop maining him unless they bring back Etalus)

[@ProofBlock]

Which of these combos don’t work because of di, I am also waiting for etalus lmao

[@dragonstar_-ui2sk]

DI changes what combos work; the best DI in the world couldn’t get you out of every situation

[@twotimesagnew]

I have a question about the bair section of the video. You do these 2 bairs in 2 jumps back to back without losing height. The only way I seem to be able to do that is by doing jump + strong button + back almost simultaneously. I'm new to platfighters and thought people used the c-stick for aerials. Are you able to do that double jump bair with the c-stick? If so, is your thumb just moving that fast that you can hit jump then move to joystick then back to jump then back to joystick almost simultaneously? Really appreciate the video btw! Great to not have to put the video into 2x speed for a tutorial.

[@ProofBlock]

it honestly just comes down to preference whether you want to use the C stick or not, I personally play on gamecube control and jump with Y so its really easy for me to do double bair or bair double jump bair by just holding the dirrection and pressing A on timing. I think if you go in the training mode for just a little bit and figure out the general ranges of when you need to jump to get a second bair or where you can just throw out a second one because it makes a massive difference.

[@AntonioFernandez-jb7ir]

do kragg rock video

[@mario-nk7be]

3:16 do you have an easy trick to do reverse up tilt out of jab?

[@ProofBlock]

I personally do the same input I would do in order to get a rar

[@Brokizoide]

What controller settings do you use with Kragg?

[@ProofBlock]

B for special a for normal y for jump smash stick no stick jump

[@BarderBetterFasterStronger]

Slow down! The words per second in this guide is massive. I think a script and more than one take would go miles for improving the quality of this already good guide.

[@BarderBetterFasterStronger]

Also you talk about hitboxes a lot in this video, such as Up Tilt's directional properties, but didn't show them. Toggling hotbox overlay in training mode would have really sent home your points and supplemented the content.

[@BarderBetterFasterStronger]

"true confirm depending on DI" 🤔🤔🤔

[@zayxen9346]

Such a stupid comment, you can literally change the speed on KZbin

[@AntonioFernandez-jb7ir]

[@ProofBlock]

When I figure out how to play him

[@Hot__d_o_g]

what's a good consistent way to get the turn around up tilts?

[@ProofBlock]

I do the same Input as a rar just with the jump

[@Hot__d_o_g]

​@@ProofBlock what does that mean?

[@ProofBlock]

@ reverse Ariel rush, it’s how people do turn around back airs instantly, very useful would recommend looking into it

[@arnoblokerije8837]

Does anyone have info/tips on how to turn arounf uptilt (especially when jab canceling) i cant do it lmao

[@ProofBlock]

I do the same input I do to get a rar but just without jumping

[@tonyg9775]

Down throw chain grab has worked without pummel for me. Do ppl just not di?

[@ProofBlock]

Ya the game is new to be fair so most people don’t really di yet

[@treedude4246]

[@ProofBlock]

Yup

[@whinemax]

What's a DI?

[@tidal7643]

Directional influence. If you get hit you can move your stick in the direction you want to go. And it can save your life. Like if you get launched off stage push your stick towards the stage to live longer.
