LMM Miami 2024 GRAND FINALS - Nogh (Loxodont) Vs. sinbad (Maypul) Rivals of Aether 2 - RoA2

[@ItsAK9]

Finally, someone in bracket who plays Lox like he's actually an S tier. Great run!

[@JhnJcbJglHmrShtYT]

Right? He was the first character that caught my eye and stuck with him ever since despite tier discussions. Just play who you love to play, this game is FIRE.

[@dahuterschuter]

Lox is an S tier in a game full of SS and SSS tiers.

[@nathanlevesque7812]

@@dahuterschuter that is so dumb

[@elemzxx]

@@nathanlevesque7812how so? literally every character is viable to win a major said by every pro player. theres no bad characters lox is S maypul being the best imo is SS+

[@Jairjax]

@@nathanlevesque7812 It's true though. Most really good players put him on the bottom of tier lists for now anyways. Maybe as the meta changes or patches come out he'll be better. He's still amazing and can win tournaments, he's just not the best.

[@krubbington]

This game is so hype, absolutely incredible Loxodont play!

[@epicnerf1]

"Lox is bad cuz he's heavy" Literally the game just came out. Looking for more Noghs to come and show people that they should probably just let the game vibe for a while. His run was insane

[@elemzxx]

bro who says that 😭? every character is good Lox just loses every mu hes S tier though

[@DarkLeviathan8]

shoutouts to project M's donkey kong btw

[@pokeness686]

"Lox is heavy" is just gaslighting, character dies to anything at 100% - 115% even center stage. And he struggles to kill, idk why the hell his forward air doesn't have knock back. On top of that, his side b is so useless that you never see high level players use it as an attack.

[@swed4490]

@@pokeness686If his forward air killed earlier that'd be a broken move lmao

[@yawbyss981]

The first Rivals Asia tourney was won by a Lox with another in top 8 too. Going off of post-release results, he’d be like a top 3 character in the game

I was so confused thinking 0.0? The pay off was so silly I love it

[@micahrobbins8353]

​@@nathanlevesque7812 By default, a computer with a fast or slow frame rate will literally run a game faster or slower than intended. Delta is the variable you multiply by time to standardize the speed of things across different computers. It's delta * time

[@Jairjax]

Impressive lox plays. This matchup is really hard

[@benkevelson5942]

This game is so live… I hope Rivals II has a long and prosperous life

[@GalletaGalletosa]

Man, rivals 2 is such a great watch, loving this game

[@DrewOPowell]

YEAHHH SINBAD. Congratulations to Sinbad man 🥹 such a good pop off too

[@headcrab4]

I saw someone on Reddit asking what to do as a Loxodont versus fast characters like Maypul and Zetterburn. The advice I saw was "Simply assume your stock starts at 80%", and it seems to be true here too! Crazy kill power, and crazy get-killed power.

[@Rulytasho]

People who say Lox is bad, Lox says back to them "You don't deserve power"

[@nickyschardt9922]

Awesome set! Anyone know how Maypul uses neutral b out of dash so quickly?

[@JOdell-e7y]

Iirc correctly think it’s like quick wavedash oos but I could be wrong

[@imDxne]

nobody knows this but nogh used to be known as noghorilla

[@spaghetti_Steven]

10:47 A little weird-looking that Maypul didn't get hit by the rock here.

[@nevasha6727]

I think that in Rivals 2 you are invincible during your throw animations, same as in ultimate. Smash players have been abusing this to avoid lingering projectiles for years :)

[@calebrobinson6406]

Maypul has got too much sauce

[@darkshiftergg]

Bro was at 40 before the hit

[@Outtabullets2800]

Omg lox killed at 40 might be my main wen I start playing until the grappler comes out

[@isaachudson9108]

Plat fighters don't really do grapplers. Lox and kragg both have a special that's a grab, that's about as close as you'll get.

[@marin9412]

@isaachudson9108 there’s literally a full on grappler planned for the future did you not read the « until the grappler comes out » part

[@alfonshedstrom9859]

Lox my beloved

[@RayzoomLynx]

Honestly I think this match up either could got in both ways. Lox is a heavy char and can be combo'd to death by maypul but at the same time maypul can die with any smash attack as well.

[@2Namii]

Hell no. This matchup is clearly in maypuls favor

[@parkersamuels5148]

Anyone know why Marlon got DQ'd?

[@l.n.3372]

I was wondering the same. If anybody knows.

[@whitekj03]

SA

​​@@whitekj03Dont just make shit up. He got accused for calling people pedophiles in private dms and flirted too hard while he was 15 TOWARDS an 18 year old, he never did anything close to SA.

[@chrisoutten]

@@whitekj03That’s sick that you would just throw that out there.

[@sincereduck9405]

​@@bumibomber the shit he was allegedly doing was borderline harassment not "flirting" have some common sense

[@joemanginaa]

Duuuvallll

[@rosestrohm7986]

They need a time limit on seed or something. Like if ranno's poison stacks go away if he gets hit or Zetterburn's fire has a time limit, idk why Maypul's doesnt, especially when getting wrapped or tethered to in the middle of a combo is just GGs

[@Massamom]

It's not happening and I don't think it should be changed. It was like that in the first game and making it on a time limit would make it unreliable. She will probably get some minor nerfs, I imagine Wrastor will get some too. The game has been out for two weeks(?) so there's still a lot to figure out and explore.

[@sincereduck9405]

just parry lily lol

[@Riomasa]

If you grab maypul , all of her seeds go away.

[@RandomDude647]

you can parry lily, or airdodge or roll through lily also gets rid of mark iirc

[@--Glory--]

Zetter’s is on a time limit because it has DoT and is applied by a ton of moves in his kit, and Ranno’s isn’t an on or off thing, it’s based off of stacks, and the reward of Ranno bubbling a fully poison stacked opponent is way higher than Maypul wrapping you. There are other consistent ways to get Maypul seed off of you anyways. Maypul will only get worse with time because her setups will become more predictable.

[@cozybrash]

i feel like i’ve seen this guy in a “salty moments” compilation

That logic we got forsburn nerf incoming too. Good argument we all know how broken he is.
