This game was called Rivals 2 before it came out, and then they got unfortunate news that Marvel Rivals was a good game and then changed the title to Rivals of Aether 2 like less than a month before launch
Heeeeey! I play this game! Fun fact! This game used to be named "Rivals 2" for the sake of Search Engine Optimization. It was not too long after the Rivals 2 announcement that another game seen on this channel was also revealed, throwing a wrench in that plan.
The only reason Rivals 2 is not completely destroying the market right now is because of the lack of IPs, but the core quality of it all is there and much better than the competition.
@LG555 I feel like they should have gone with f2p for Aether 2. Game will make hella money for the first year and then the devs are gonna go broke and updates will stop, just watch.
@@jrodd13 I like Rivals, and I don't think it will ever become like... Dead dead, but there is a limit to how popular a sweaty game like Rivals can get. It'll maintain that population, but I don't think it'll ever be a big game. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend that didn't already like platform fighters a lot.

The problem with free to play games is they are forced to become live-service which is the worst trend in gaming imo. Live service games essentially launch in early access (i.e. Beta) and are never really finished. Rivals 2 is one of those games I was really excited for until I found out it was essentially still in beta. The game is out, but it’s far from finished.
I mean, usually before buying a game you can try its demo version. So you can get a better idea before committing. Sure, some demos are devious and really only give you dreams more than facts, but it's still most appreciated to at least have something.
the whol;e point was that none of these are smash killers, idk why flats brought it back to that because the 'platform fighter curse' isn't not being able to kill smash, its that they die after a couple of months.
Woah nice. Subbed for your marvel rivals stuff, super cool to see you reacting to this awesome video about my favorite game ever! Huge in to plat fighters and they NEED more love. A whole different type of gaming and I'm glad you shed some light on it!!
Btw op its quin tuple, i know no knows what comes after quadruple because everyone stops at triple but yk as an overwatch player i have an easier time remembering what quintuple is
I think the same reason the ow hate has gone away is because the competition between the two games turned out to be like Jake Paul vs Tyson. Ow just doesn’t have the legs to keep up and it’s more sad than fun
I mostly play platform fighters and o prefer multiversus/brawlhalla over rivals 2. None of the characters click for me. Ppl hate on MS to hate. It's not bad anymore. They fixed a lot.
man i wish i liked rivals 2 more but its just not that interesting to me, hope it goes far but nick brawl 2 still my goat (also this guy in the video implying that every other platform fighter dev team isn't passionate and don't care about their games at all is just crazy insulting)
I was watching one of your marvel rivals videos the other day and all of a sudden i'm watching myself on your channel. i'm living in the matrix
I watch this video for 9 minutes and 26 seconds before realizing this is not about Marvel Rivals
😂

Same lol
9 min and 10 seconds for me lol
@@Boxish Not that it was a "good game" just that it existed with that name
If you're getting into fighting games, you might want to check out core a gaming. Like "Why Button Mashing Doesn't Work" or "The Effects of Salt"
Rivals2 cooks, no shields or grabs was unique about the first but some people like that guy in the chat are way too over dramatic about that.
fr, if thats really a deal breaker then u arent really a fan tbh
I can definitely picture Rivals 2 taking a spot at future EVO tournaments, ever since Nintendo pretty much murdered the competitive scene for Smash
Flats and Hungrybox/Mang0 collab when? 😂
You should colab with mang0, he's been playing marvel rivals on top of being the GOAT of melee and a top level rivals of aether player
Vouch
hell fuckin yeah
What was the tangent, I need answers
POST TANGENT VOD FLATS
I love Rivals 2 and it needs to grow so thank you for reacting to the game Flats!
Heeeeey! I play this game!

"so how did ludwig distance himself from being the 'smash guy'? asking for a friend."

I was not expecting a rivals 2 video from flats but I am so down :D
I will share this stuff with all my friends if you were to keep watching Rivals of Aether content
Rivals 2 is doing better than Multiversus, but not a ton better, and it's much newer. It's also trending downwards in popularity as well.
Difference is, Rivals 2 is $30, so even if people stop playing, they at least still spend some money.

@@jrodd13 on the other hand, they would probably also go harder on the monetization.

wait where did that rant go wtf
Right, here for the flatz rants lol
@@lukotsu mf needs 6th channel for rants 💀
9:54 sly cooper mentioned 🔥🔥🔥🔥
flats rivals?! and not the marvel one?!
WORLDS COLLIDING WHAT
Finally, both rivals games are recognized
9:55 is absolutely Sly Cooper and now I want to play Rivals 2
This is my favorite game
Awesome that the only way we can measure a game is if it can kill another game
the whol;e point was that none of these are smash killers, idk why flats brought it back to that because the 'platform fighter curse' isn't not being able to kill smash, its that they die after a couple of months.

I thought we were going to talk aobout Marvel Rivals 2 already, I was like damn, chill
Btw op its quin tuple, i know no knows what comes after quadruple because everyone stops at triple but yk as an overwatch player i have an easier time remembering what quintuple is
Its not the melee killer but it will kill ultimate i beleive
ive been watching you for years and this is my fav game! love to see you talkin about it
it’s like he says in the video, the game is not trying to be a smash killer, it never have never will
i played brawlhalla from launch all the way to around 2020 and MAN i thought he was gonna talk about brawlhalla lol but this game looks so good!!
As rivals of aether player im so pissed marvel rivals came out, cause it absolutely destroyed my youtube recommendation.
I think the same reason the ow hate has gone away is because the competition between the two games turned out to be like Jake Paul vs Tyson. Ow just doesn’t have the legs to keep up and it’s more sad than fun

I feel like MV kinda lost its chance at this point unfortunately v.v

he should watch Core-A gaming content
Man...the runterra platform fighter being axed makes me sad.
are you talking about 2xko? if so it wasnt and its just in development
@basicname1555 brother if I was talking 2xko i would have said project l or 2xko
@@basicname1555no, Riot had the idea of a LoL platform fighter called pool party, but got canned, because of how badly Multiversus was received
@@LG555 i completely forgot about that but it didnt help the comment originally just said runterra fighter
I mean second best game like smash IS brawlhalla
Idk but did you hear? Rivals 2 has the SAUCE :P
@readyplayerthree3 I mean when this gonna come out, I will keep an eye on its future
Rivals of Aether 2 is currently available for purchase on steam. First new character of the year to arrive in late January!
The first couple of minutes hurt to watch lol
That’s 2 cause one guy invited his friend lol
