I cant believe nickyboi has found such a goldmine of untapped content in the fgc. Truly this will be revolutionary for the fighting game content creation scene.
I feel like Braum had at least twice the effort put into him compared to almost all of the others. Illaoi is really good too, but everyone else feels like wasted potential compared to what we've seen those characters do, both in cinematics and in the other games.
Well it does make sense that as the game devolpment got along, the quality went up. Darius, who is probs the first champ conceived has the most basic supers. Then the rest of the roster gets progressively better but u can really see the shine on the Illaoi and Braum supers.
Illaoi and Braum was made during the later stages of development so it makes sense. While the others + Jinx and probably Katarina was made during the first reveal. They could update them later on the final release, but we'll see.
I do not agree with idea of Darius calling his bro for super, it would make it awkward to put Draven himself later. Besides, you want Darius to use his Noxian Guillotine for finisher. But if Draven got to call other Reckoners for his cinematic super... well, let's say Abbachio's GHA in JJBA:ASBR is a good example.
Having Darius call Draven for his super isn't a bad idea because in fighterz Android 18 called in Android 17 for her super before 17 was even a playable character
I agree with the Draven part, i dont think it would be THAT good cuz they dont have much to do with each other anymore But the army not coming to attack is TOTALLY a waste of potential. He is THE hand of Noxus, THE representation of strenght, the army are HIS people, it would be amazing to see them fighting together
@@lesterantenor1026 no i won't calm down! I'm freaking out over this! ahhhhhh! I have been in a constant state of rage since I watched this video 19 hours ago. I don't even play this game but for some reason i can't calm down ahhhhhhh
@@lesterantenor1026so a simple critique means they’re furious with the burning rage of a thousand suns? Thank the gods you’re defending the small indie company’s honor
I think your missing the most important thing RITO care about... MONEY. legendries will obviously have their own animations thats why most of the super 3's are lackluster
Counter point Darius not calling anyone is what noxus is all about IS WHAT HIS PILAR represents MIGHT, nothing but your own two hands If he called goons it will not be Darius anymore it goes against everything his character stands and represents
I was looking foward to your videos covering the game. Casual players (and specially loreheads of league) really bring cool perspectives that fgc creators don't really focus on. Pd.: I think the best cameos would be the DBFZ style, where having certain combinations of characters in your team would alter the look of your lvl 3s (i.e. Gotenks+Picollo).
Blitz Ult would be so funny. Blitz grabs you and pulls you right in from of him. Still in his hand, the opponent character watches in fear has he casually starts glowing and overcharging with electricity before blowing up (in-game blitz R) at point blank range
Love the idea of the Draven cameo on Darius' Lv2. I hope they'll try to monetize alternate Lv2 animations while keeping the total animation time the same.
A lot of these are cool concepts but I think the 3D animation lacks some snappiness and audio lacks some higher impact to really sell how powerful these attacks are supposed to be
I still find it funny that only Pyke and Miss fortune are missing out of the Ruined King game roster and both of them seem like pretty likely future characters. That shows in my opinion what a strong cast that game had.
They need more hits in the level 3s, like ekko should have smacked the suspended enemy at least a few more times and Yas should have done a flurry type of strike at the start.
One thing to keep in mind, since the supers will happen alot during tournaments/matches, keeping them short helps alot. Nothing worse than watching a cutscene for too long, i cant stand SF6 CAs/LV3s
7:54 as someone who is a self proclaimed fighting game God, based on mechanics that look very familiar to other fighting games, it looks like the opponent recovers in time to do something in response to the second super; therefore, not a combo, but could catch some people. (Probably) edit: also I know nothing about this fighting game, but interested.
Feels to me like Braum and Illaoi's animations are closer to being finalized than the regular Project L crew (and Yasuo). Really hope I'm right, because the devs can clearly do a lot better than whatever the heck is going on with Darius' level 3.
I think its harder to incorporate magic/Mage characters into a fighting game because it just seems like this isn't what they should be doing thematically, but I think they did ahri pretty well while keeping her similar to her kit in league.
DINOSUAR KING! NO JOKE IV BEEN GETTING BACK INTO THE DS GAME AND RE-WATCHINIG THE ANIME AS OF RECENTLY, also I agree with the echo level 3 to be like that, but what if yasuo was like Ike's smash move when he is in the air and it ends the same way
I hope they iron out some of these before the release. Since this is just the Alpha i have high hopes! Knowing some people on the dev team are competitive players of games like MvC2 really gives me hope.
It does feel like later additions to the roster (Illaoi and Braum) got a lot more love in their supers compared to the 4 earliest characters. They are much more personalized and polished while the other 4 end up kinda generic and with weird camera angle shifts and cuts
I feel like we are getting another LOR situation here, where the big cinematic stuff is AGGRESSIVELY simple, and we gradually get more and more flashy stuff as the game progresses.
If you like how each character has a different reaction to killgore you should see Guilty Gear Faust's instant kill in XRD (or elphelt's instant kill from the same game) or his super in Strive.
I have one small issue with Illaoi lvl 3, the snap, the burst of damage, the tempo of it, feels a little bit off. I feel that this only issue would be fixed if there was something between the pupil contracting and the jaw snapping, like some kind of vignette effect or something else; or reducing the time between the snap and the pupil contracting.
Honestly a lot of the supers don't feel impactful to me. There's not enough movement, not enough hits, not enough speed to sell the impact etc. Braum's kit and Illaoi's 1 and 3 are how it should be done. Also the lipsync doesn't match the audio sometimes. Look at Darius here 3:56, his mouth stops moving before finishing the sentence
Hopefully future skins would have different ultimate supers animation... Like if there's star guardian ahri will have throwing her familliar than doing the kameha..but i got a feeling riot still holding back on epic animations in their super... Looks like they reserving it to other champs and skins
This game's supers are all so stiff and unimaginative, everything besides Braum and maaybe Illaoi is just a 4 at most, like someone pointed out a super in this game would be a regular move on MVC or DBFZ, very disappointing, they could have done so much more, putting the actual hits on screen for one.
How about a tierlist stream to speculate how great could 2xko supers be for potential champions, based on primary and secondary roster predictions from last time?
I know it’s still in Alpha and things will be fixed but I gotta say Anyone feel like some of the lv2 supers especially Ahri and Yasuo focuses too much on their faces rather than what they do to the enemy?
I cant believe nickyboi has found such a goldmine of untapped content in the fgc. Truly this will be revolutionary for the fighting game content creation scene.
11:22 YOO DINOSAUR KING MENTIONED that show is my childhood
The dinosaur king referance had me cackling on the spot
YOOOOOO
I can still hear "Carnotaurus, blow them away!" Ahhh the good ol' days
Yeeeees
Ah yes the memories of watching dinisaur king as a kid. That was a childhood.
its probably worth noting that illaoi and braum are later additions to the roster, the other supers (especially lv3s) feels like placeholders
I feel like Braum had at least twice the effort put into him compared to almost all of the others. Illaoi is really good too, but everyone else feels like wasted potential compared to what we've seen those characters do, both in cinematics and in the other games.

this shiiter of a game never matching tekken 8, still love illaoi in this
@@alvnoah comparison is the thief of joy. They both fill their own niches
@@antoniocalcano777 never heard
I'm happy they reference "Seconds" for Ekko's level 3. It is to this day their best character trailer imo.
Ahri also references the new dawn trailer.
3:08 "the hand of Noxus vs the fart of Ionia" 3:10 "He who shit winds" this, THIS is why chat exists
I do not agree with idea of Darius calling his bro for super, it would make it awkward to put Draven himself later.

I mean he said, 1 second before that, if they don't plan on adding Draven, that would have been cool
When the card game has flashier supers than the fighting game.
this is just an alpha test so calm the f"ck down

Thank the gods you’re defending the small indie company’s honor
I think your missing the most important thing RITO care about... MONEY. legendries will obviously have their own animations thats why most of the super 3's are lackluster
LOR had sh1tty level ups when it first released, there weren't cinematic level ups yet until renekton
Counter point
Darius not calling anyone is what noxus is all about IS WHAT HIS PILAR represents MIGHT, nothing but your own two hands
If he called goons it will not be Darius anymore it goes against everything his character stands and represents
The dinosaur king reference alone is worth a like from me, I haven't heard of that show in like a decade and I loved it as a kid
Im gonna call this game "dubble knockout" i refuse to say 2XKO
Or are you just keep calling it project L
Thats what i do
I wanna call it tuko or pronounce it "tu-cs-o"
I'm gonna call it 2 thousand kisses
I just say 2KO personally
Ekko's lvl 3 super is also a reference to Jujutsu Kaisen, its gojo's Hollow Purple when he fights against Toji.
hey nicky when are we playing again
The instant address of 'wait this title but the channel ISNT Max' lmao
nicky you wrote 2KXO, it's 2XKO
Really? I read it 2OXK
No, it's project L
0:08 Hey youre self aware lol
I feel like as more characters release, the more cinematic their supers will be like in LOR. The initial roster have simple supers
Yeh .. it's like the recent release was more cinematic than the new ones as they come.. hope fully some skins would have unique supers animation
Let’s hope samira and qiyana get announced later then
Bro thinks he is Maximilian dood 💀
Fr, but i kinda like it
Marvel brain 🧠
ME WHEN DINOSAUR KING MENTIONED
Also 2xko looks sick, surprised there isn't more characters
it is in beta right now, so that's likely why. We should expect a lot more when they get closer to release
I did not expect to see a Dinosaur King reference in 2024 😂😂
Im so so excited for this, i can already tell im gonna main braum
jesus at 1:58 they are almost nip slipping jesus rito

11:17 I WAS LEGIT THINKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAID THE YASUO ONE IS LACKLUSTER I WAS LIKE "should've been Ace's attack from Dinosaur King"
We are entering a universe where NickyBoi is close to a collab with Maximilian....
10:11 THE JJK REFERANCE IS CRAZY
Blitz Ult would be so funny. Blitz grabs you and pulls you right in from of him. Still in his hand, the opponent character watches in fear has he casually starts glowing and overcharging with electricity before blowing up (in-game blitz R) at point blank range
Love the idea of the Draven cameo on Darius' Lv2. I hope they'll try to monetize alternate Lv2 animations while keeping the total animation time the same.
Love the video would love to see you make more videos about fighting games or at least 2XKO when it comes out !
I am crazy excited about future FGC content from you.
I mean you would then be the second UA-camr I watch in the FGC. The first being Lolhound .
That's interesting and sad. 😅😅😅
A lot of these are cool concepts but I think the 3D animation lacks some snappiness and audio lacks some higher impact to really sell how powerful these attacks are supposed to be
Also man I wish Ekko’s had him do a flurry of awesome attacks then rewind so he hits the target again faster in reverse, could’ve been so cool.
I have never once played a fighting game, but I excited to try out Braum.
12:40 i thought he said Amsterdam after the first line
I NEVER expected at 11:20 a Dinosaur King reference but i am pleasantly surprised
League of Legends 15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers
Love the design of your character, the lil spikey mouth! Gives me newgrounds/castle crashers vibes!
Dinosaur King goes hard
Theres a huge lack of impact frames in a lot of their big moves
I still find it funny that only Pyke and Miss fortune are missing out of the Ruined King game roster and both of them seem like pretty likely future characters. That shows in my opinion what a strong cast that game had.

Nothing worse than watching a cutscene for too long, i cant stand SF6 CAs/LV3s
Desperately hoping that they bring in Udyr eventually. Get to show off “AWAKEN BEAR” as a super should be fun
As someone who is borderline addicted to the Seconds animated short, they did Ekko dirty with his supers.
Ekko, Illaoi, and Braum are my favorites 💙
Maximillian Boi

(Probably) edit: also I know nothing about this fighting game, but interested.
I can already see improvements from the first character to the most recent one.
It's gonna be like LoR where the levelups are more simple at the beginning and overtime the future supers will be really good
Arhi lvl 1 throws a ball: 7
Darius lvl 1 has cool camera angle: 4
Feels to me like Braum and Illaoi's animations are closer to being finalized than the regular Project L crew (and Yasuo). Really hope I'm right, because the devs can clearly do a lot better than whatever the heck is going on with Darius' level 3.
Ahri’s lv3 ult reminds me of that cinematic with her and Leona
I really did not expect them to give Illaoi tengu stones. but It's actually such a baller idea.
I was NOT expecting a dinosaur king reference in my nickyboi video
As someone who doesn't play fighting games, some of these ults compared to ggst look sluggish and underwhelming.
Game is still in like giga pre alpha deluxe
The Ahri introduction with the irl fox caught me off guard lmao
not once in my life would i EVER except nickyboi to use a dinosaur king clip in his video for a reference, great show btw if your a dinosaur fan :D
This just makes me hope samira makes it in the game. The potential is insane
yeha i too feel like they went harder on the most recent champs, wich are infact illaoi and braum
I think its harder to incorporate magic/Mage characters into a fighting game because it just seems like this isn't what they should be doing thematically, but I think they did ahri pretty well while keeping her similar to her kit in league.
Bro, as an Aussie I am so jealous of everyone that was able to play, we straight got shafted out of playing an awesome game
As Someone who loves fighting games I never would’ve thought to see Nicky pulling a Max dood and RATE THE SUPER😊😊😊
Damn Nicky did the @ everyone in discord for this video before the Lucian Casual Champion review. The one that was 2 days ago :)
DINOSUAR KING! NO JOKE IV BEEN GETTING BACK INTO THE DS GAME AND RE-WATCHINIG THE ANIME AS OF RECENTLY, also I agree with the echo level 3 to be like that, but what if yasuo was like Ike's smash move when he is in the air and it ends the same way
Those poro KO faces are HILARIOUS lol
"Earthquake single-handedly caused by man" tell Braum to get out of Chile 😂
I hope they iron out some of these before the release. Since this is just the Alpha i have high hopes! Knowing some people on the dev team are competitive players of games like MvC2 really gives me hope.

I was not expecting Braum to be much taller than Darius
If you like how each character has a different reaction to killgore you should see Guilty Gear Faust's instant kill in XRD (or elphelt's instant kill from the same game) or his super in Strive.

I feel that this only issue would be fixed if there was something between the pupil contracting and the jaw snapping, like some kind of vignette effect or something else; or reducing the time between the snap and the pupil contracting.
I’m surprised jinx wasn’t the first character added into the game because she has basically become the face of league over the past 10 years
My fav move "Poro fight"
My fav super "It's snack time" 😂
The finger flick is a anime reference so I'm not surprised you didn't catch that
Braum also has an move where he calls the mighty poro from lor. Peak fr fr
Honestly a lot of the supers don't feel impactful to me. There's not enough movement, not enough hits, not enough speed to sell the impact etc. Braum's kit and Illaoi's 1 and 3 are how it should be done.

Darius' supers have a real first character they made feel to them.
Dinosaur king of all things is fucking crazy did not expect to see that funky show mentioned in this day of age
Nice, maybe we can see another SUPER for upcoming Champions.
13:00 the whole sequence looks very much like tai lung when he gets sat on by po (kung fu panda)
The dinosaur king reference is crazy
I think Ahri lvl3 might be a reference to what she did in the A New Dawn Cinematic
This game's supers are all so stiff and unimaginative, everything besides Braum and maaybe Illaoi is just a 4 at most, like someone pointed out a super in this game would be a regular move on MVC or DBFZ, very disappointing, they could have done so much more, putting the actual hits on screen for one.
You can guess the order they were developed just from the quality of the supers alone
For some reason Yasuo's Level 1 & 2 reminds me some of Charlotte's move sets from SS
10:11 theres no way they just did a hollow purple reference in this🤣(ofc he didnt notice, so uncultured)
Oww, that's why it kinda seems familiar but man it just doesn't fit
How about a tierlist stream to speculate how great could 2xko supers be for potential champions, based on primary and secondary roster predictions from last time?
11:19 omnislash vr6 advent children or if you’re feeling real spicy have him do the arcane bomb thing he did to victor
There’s no IMPACT ahri’s ult 1:58 just kinda phases through with her dash. There’s no hit sound effect or visual.
HOLY SHIT BRO KNOW AND REMEMBERS DINOSAUR KING
Yooo, new NickyBoi vid, hypeeee
I think Braun and Illaoi get the extra brownie points since they’re newer characters.
Illaoi basically hit em with the chaos dimension by Shumagorath.
Ekko's ult should've been like Flash's one in injustice 2
I know it’s still in Alpha and things will be fixed but I gotta say
Anyone feel like some of the lv2 supers especially Ahri and Yasuo focuses too much on their faces rather than what they do to the enemy?
Nicky broke my brain by writing 2KXO lmao
I AM SOOOOOO HYPED FOR THIS
