Preparing our minds for UNI2: Stormy Night 2023 UNICLR Tournament Analysis

As the new year is approaching with the next Under Night In-Birth title around the corner, I've been meaning to make a slight pivot towards more analytical-form videos for the UNI content on this channel. While this video is long, I also intend on uploading digestible discussion and analysis videos in the future.
In this video, we take a look back at the largest offline UNICLR tournament to have taken place in Japan, the community-run Stormy Night 2023 -- www.uni-stormynight.com/ This tournament featured a lot of strong players, many of whom may be familiar from the game's heyday at arcades in Japan. This video focuses on the singles tournament that took place on Day 1 of the event.

valuable commentary

[@acorteziii]

Great grand finals

[@JustSRK0]

Loved watching all the character compilations from this channel when I got into UNIST, especially the Osuhitto player profile vid(requesting a Kure, or Kyo video for the future 👀). I stopped around Uniclr, but just switched to leverless and Uni2 will be my first game(I main Seth and Yuzu so wish my fingers luck 😅). Will be checking and supporting this channel every hr for content, thanks for all the work you do 🙏

[@kurushiidrive]

Thank you, I appreciate it. Kure was actually the next one planned for a long time, but I just need to force myself to sit down and pick up from where I left off 😅 but yes look forward to more stuff on the way.

[@JustSRK0]

@@kurushiidrive as soon as I saw the Uni2 trailer, this was the first channel I thought of. Looking forward to some Uni2 content from here!

[@imaslusho]

UNI2 really has everything. I can't wait. Thanks for giving some uni content to hold me over.
Happy new year and happy future gaming!

[@kurushiidrive]

happy new year!
