This game looks incredible, and im sure the devs know that an Avatar VR fighting game with all 4 factions would be the absolute dream to play some day.
They said they only have plans for earth bending. Edit: The best we could hope for is if different indie devs work out the other factions and they all come together to combine them.
that was a decision for the better. feeling the frustration and anger while nothing is happening and you punch the air while sweating for two hours, and then finally getting it right is half the fun of the game
@@Halberds8122 home element is irrelevant, it's about personality.... that's why Korra struggled with airbending, while also mostly using firebending despite being a water bender.

As a martial artist, I can't wait to see the full potential of this idea realized. I imagine a virtual world in which one can learn difficult and intense fighting forms that have practical use in magical combat. And with full-body tracking, this could create a whole new form of virtual martial-arts.
I feel like more VR games need magic or magic-like systems to have precise movements you need to do, it would certainly raise the skill ceiling of a lot of games.
It also allows more complex systems if the movements have to be precise. If you have "any circle motion" as a spell, that's only one spell. If you have "counter clockwise half circle", then you can have 4 different spells in different combinations.
@@Eric0728 I can think of probably 15 very distinct movements for "spells" a well funded team of developers will be able to think of way more combinations than my dumbass.
Don't need magic for precise hand movements really. Even piloting a mech or a spaceship can require some precise movements unlike what most medias make it look. Engineering. Many artisants works. And so on.
@@incredulousd9408 Actually, we have been seeing a huge movement for VR as forms of physical therapy and improving motor functions for both disabled people and people in various forms of recovery! While there is a call for more games that are inclusive of various means, games like these can still be positive for disabled people. Sorry that you have negative expectations tied to people asking for games that disabled people can play. I'm sure there's some individuals who may take issue, but with where games like these are in VR tech standards, they're pretty good tools for both abled and disabled people, especially with the tracking systems they seem to use.
it's the same as learning forms. you have to be precise and accurate. it will especially be exhausting if you're not fit like a martial artist. i've seen so many people test for a new belt and fail because their stance isn't correct or their hand position isn't on point. someone with very little mind-body connection is bound to fail.

After watching this video multiple times I finally bought it for myself. Tried queueing up to a match at 2am my time, wouldn't find any matches near my rank, so I set it to all ranks. I instantly loaded into a match, and worried I would just get dunked on by this pro gamer. Nah. They were the highest rank and instead of crushing me where I stood they took 40 minutes out of their time and taught me cool tricks and showed me some of the later game stuff you can do. This is only 1 member but even 1 person being like this is better community than any other comp game I've played. 10/10 recommend.
Honestly in my experience playing it hasn't been bad at all. maybe like 3-5 minutes to find a match, and almost no delay at the higher levels. You need the time to keep practicing anyways. Sometimes I won't even queue for awhile simply because I need to practice a bit before hopping in a match
It just depends what time you're getting on and what region you're okay with playing in. There's only a dozen or so active people in like Australia it seems, but Europe and US regions are usually active. Even at down times, one of those regions usually has at least a dozen people. Which isn't much compared to some games probably, but it's not empty is the point. But yeah, hopefully this video brings some more attention!
Feels like a game that should really be f2p with some cosmetics. I want to try this game, but a multiplayer only VR game is always a very scary prospect for me.

Body language was the first language, animals use that to this day and so do we. If someone is stomping at you with their fists closed even if they're asking how your day was, you will still perceive and react to their body language.
This game is so much fun. Especially when you start combining moves to create mutations of existing ones and using offensive tools defensively it gets incredibly addictive.

I would give just about anything for a water bending version of this game. If you want a similar concept for air bending, a modder called lyneca made a pretty decent air bending simulator for Blade and Sorcery
I commented this already on another video I saw of this game, but at least theoretically, I think the super strict form required by this game is pretty cool because it probably makes it feel like real martial arts, which is obviously what this and things like Avatar are based on
Imagine if this had hand signs, leg motions, and something where you could select an area of earth to mold. That and with the other 4 elements, there's so much room to have an amazingly complex fighting game here. Also, great exercise for gamers.
Look up a content creator called Shoeless, they show the complexities of this game. Due to this games range of motions, and attack patterns, there are a crazy amount of combos and attack styles that can be done in this game. It *is* an amazing complex fighting game already, and if they'd ever make another game with other elements it would be mind blowingly awesome (theyve openly stated they have no plans to add other elements to Rumble tho sadly)
I had an idea for a game like this a while back. The goal was to let people experience bending in VR, but it would also double as teaching you a martial art, because every bending style is based on a form of martial art. Airbending is Baguazhang, Waterbending is Tai Chi, Earthbending is Hung Ga Kung Fu, and Firebending is Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. The idea was that the game would progressively teach you real forms by showing you with an NPC teacher, and then reinforce things like balance, speed, and positioning through a system called chi. Basically the better you did, the more powerful and precise your attack would be. There would be an open world you could explore, of course, but there was also one thing I thought would be really cool, a power scale. You could duel people at regular levels, of course, but then, if you wanted to get spicy, you could increase both players' power levels extremely to get a result remeniscent of the Last Agni Kai. There were two things holding this idea back though. The first was that I wanted to make use of the Index's finger tracking, but didn't want to exclude Quest users, and the other is that a lot of martial arts, and bending as a result makes use of foot placement and movement, thus necessitating full body and hand tracking. That's a lot of prerequisites to have for a game that's going to wind up straining you physically. Edit: Formatting
I'm so fucking happy someone with a sizeable audience is playing this, the game is surprisingly small rn and more players means we get closer to better matchmaking
I actually saw a few weeks ago that the creator has made tutorials for this game which would probably be useful for habie if they wanted to continue playing
His whimper at 2:33 😂 Also this makes like a really good martial arts training with muscle movements and memory, this game is amazing! The attention to detail even in setting is phenomenal! They really put so much love in this, that’s cool. Hope it comes to Quest natively
I can already see how amazing a fully completed game would be: - 4 main elements + the variants (metal and lighting) - more diverse PvP environments - open world map - quests following the main Avatar story - some customisability with the player moveset - swapping between elements, and each element has unique casting motions
@@NiMC1 I don't think that you can own these powers or have specific movements. The "ninjas who control the elements" trope has existed in multiple medias.
@@bonesberattled8362 No you very well could it would be very obvious it’s copying avatar unless they make their own moves and it says “following the main avatar story” which is also a way to get sued
@@bonesberattled8362The devs can’t legally sell a game that exists in the avatar universe without getting permission. They could make a free one tho. But if Avatar was smart they would fund the development of the game, because it would be a great compliment to the live action series they’re producing
I saw this game on steam and read people talking about how you had to treat it like an actual martial art with specific fighting forms lol I would love to try this out sometime
I'm so glad this game actually released. I've been playing the alpha/download from website stage for months, learning the forms to muscle memory. I remember one time during MMA I tried to make a wall into a punch and I got grappled instantly having to tap out the reason I did the wall into a punch because of the dopamine that I experienced before when I had just learned my first combo in beta what included a rock jump into the earthquake type when you land and hit the target.
dear god of smoothbrains habie, i can't explain how tf you are able to constantly post such amazing content and regularly make awesome twitch streams while also working eight hours a day. thanks man. to make it fair i won't stop saying nice stuff to you and the community. we all deserve the love. feel loved y'all and habie: i still don't know how you can do all of this but you're truly awesome, keep it up!
Learning form first to play the game. Sounds like how bending would be like. I mean bending does take heavy inspiration from real life martial arts, and getting the most damage from that would require form
Only started watching your channel today but I am loving just genuinely checking out some cool games I would have never seen otherwise. The tone and light humor and delicious, keep up the work my dude, I know how grueling that editing can be, God Bless
As a fellow computer worker, on and off office hours, I can warmly recommend Kayak VR Mirage and a broomstick. Totally engaging, various degrees of challenges, a nice skill based progression, and you'll sweat your banana off. Enjoy!
I think it's awesome having to genuinely learn, it feels that much mor rewarding when not only do you do it, but you start learning, you watch your opponent and when they make a strike, you raise a block, then retaliate, and that's what VR is, making you feel like an actual Earthbender/Ninja/whatever else.
2:10 had a thought about this it's not actually your fault that sort of thing is hard to remember or keep track of if you haven't had literal actual martial arts training i did karate for years when i was a kid, so it comes fairly naturally to me you're not incompetent, you're just normal lmao
Really hope the devs for Rumble make variants for other elements. Imagine Firebending, Waterbending, Airbending...hell, even other elemental stuff like metal, wood, death, etc. Would be great to see!
@@sdrawkcabmiay was mostly thinking in the future, like maybe even as its own game rather than adding it onto Rumble. What they've got so far looks amazing, I'm definitely going to get my hands on it once I get a VR setup
This looks fun and I can use more VR games that give a cardiovascular workout as stated lol. I'm not big on pvp though, so if I do get this I'd probably end up just messing about in that lobby area and fighting the training bot.
Dude we need a pro bending game like what’s in LoK for vr. Full on fire, earth, and water bending with the same type of precise forms this game has. That would be one of the best uses of vr and honestly I could see something like that becoming a new gen esport. This game opens up opens up so many opportunities for vr experiences.
"Thank you, random internet stranger, for the privilege of your time" No, THANK YOU for creating this content! I'm looking forward to many hilarious vr games to (eventually) come to the PSVR2 (I'm EXTREMELY STOKED), like that GTA clone, or this avatar like-game! Thanks to you for covering all the indies!
Watched this video right when it came out cause I was so excited to play this game, finally got a pc that can run vr 10 months later, bought this game, played it until my headset died, threw maybe two rocks, watched the video again, now I am sitting in my chair punching the air to practice keeping my palm facing inward while my headset charges next to me
I cant help but find this very entertaining. Not just the video but the game itself! This reminds me of the beginning of the ordinal scale movie where they had the introduction scene. I never really used VR before but i am starting to become interested. What’s it like using steam? Or what VR headset do you like to use?
I think it's great that vr stimulates physical exercise, because the key to be good in this game for example is that you have to be in a better shape than your opponent. In a way you have to do real life leveling up
Habie, I remember when it was only 5k of us, now there’s fucking 500k, this is beautiful to see your growth, and all you had to do was just stay consistent and I knew you’d eventually have a stadium full of people watching your content, Congrats!!!
I was researching to see how to develop a game like this for psvr2 and was recommended this video. I'm glad because I didn't know that game and thought that maybe people would not be into this kind of game!
This is pretty awesome. Now we need a game with all the bendings! I wanna firebend and restore the firenation to its former gloring and nobody, not even the avatar, will stop me.
Yessss! Thank you for covering this! I hope it brings more people to come play. It's a very small but very dedicated playerbase. They're all super nice and very helpful. Amazing game! Everyone should get it :D

The first was that I wanted to make use of the Index's finger tracking, but didn't want to exclude Quest users, and the other is that a lot of martial arts, and bending as a result makes use of foot placement and movement, thus necessitating full body and hand tracking. That's a lot of prerequisites to have for a game that's going to wind up straining you physically.

Sounds like the time is ripe for an actual Avatar game. c:
I'm so fucking happy someone with a sizeable audience is playing this, the game is surprisingly small rn and more players means we get closer to better matchmaking
I actually saw a few weeks ago that the creator has made tutorials for this game which would probably be useful for habie if they wanted to continue playing
His whimper at 2:33 😂
Also this makes like a really good martial arts training with muscle movements and memory, this game is amazing! The attention to detail even in setting is phenomenal! They really put so much love in this, that’s cool. Hope it comes to Quest natively
Quality content. The video was well edited, comedic timing was on point, and you introduced me to this gem of a game
Dude I was literally thinking "damn how cool would it be if we had Avatar and element bending for VR?" The future seem BRIGHT AF
One second in and I’m already giggling harder than any other UA-camr I watch, I’ll never know how you do it
GIGGLING A WOMAN
did he punch a wall irl? hehe
I know right, something about habie's videos give off just makes me laugh every time
@@recitationtohear was I just tricked into watching a video about making potato?
@@Jdcisnothuman bro, what?
playing this game for the first time was one hell of experience 😂
I can already see how amazing a fully completed game would be:
- 4 main elements + the variants (metal and lighting)
- more diverse PvP environments
- open world map
- quests following the main Avatar story
- some customisability with the player moveset
- swapping between elements, and each element has unique casting motions
One way trip to get sued unless you get a license
@@NiMC1 I don't think that you can own these powers or have specific movements. The "ninjas who control the elements" trope has existed in multiple medias.
@@bonesberattled8362 No you very well could it would be very obvious it’s copying avatar unless they make their own moves and it says “following the main avatar story” which is also a way to get sued
@@NiMC1 There are ways to avoid copyright even with that. People have done that plenty of times in the past. You just need to change it up a bit.
@@bonesberattled8362The devs can’t legally sell a game that exists in the avatar universe without getting permission. They could make a free one tho. But if Avatar was smart they would fund the development of the game, because it would be a great compliment to the live action series they’re producing
This makes me want a pro bending game so bad
this game is def a workout. i like how it really makes you get up and get active. im actually sore from the matches and training on the dummy.
I saw this game on steam and read people talking about how you had to treat it like an actual martial art with specific fighting forms lol I would love to try this out sometime
This is a certified rock and stone moment
For Karl!
Rock and Stone!!!
Didn’t think I’d find other mushroom lovers here. Rock and Stone forever!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
I'm so glad this game actually released. I've been playing the alpha/download from website stage for months, learning the forms to muscle memory. I remember one time during MMA I tried to make a wall into a punch and I got grappled instantly having to tap out the reason I did the wall into a punch because of the dopamine that I experienced before when I had just learned my first combo in beta what included a rock jump into the earthquake type when you land and hit the target.
A friend talked about this game, and then I saw this video and immediately bought it on Steam :P
Good job, man ^^
This is the first sport I’ve seen that’s actually piqued my interest.
Being completely tired out and sweaty from THIS…yes…yes give me some of that.
dear god of smoothbrains habie, i can't explain how tf you are able to constantly post such amazing content and regularly make awesome twitch streams while also working eight hours a day. thanks man. to make it fair i won't stop saying nice stuff to you and the community. we all deserve the love. feel loved y'all and habie: i still don't know how you can do all of this but you're truly awesome, keep it up!
I hope they add more elements. Water would be fun. Fire would be rocket. Air would be terrifying .
Learning form first to play the game. Sounds like how bending would be like. I mean bending does take heavy inspiration from real life martial arts, and getting the most damage from that would require form
Only started watching your channel today but I am loving just genuinely checking out some cool games I would have never seen otherwise. The tone and light humor and delicious, keep up the work my dude, I know how grueling that editing can be, God Bless
really glad you picked this game up, been watining on it for a year now and i was scared it was gonna flop because of bonelabs
I’ve been looking at this game for a little while. I’m so glad you’re making a video on it.
As a fellow computer worker, on and off office hours, I can warmly recommend Kayak VR Mirage and a broomstick. Totally engaging, various degrees of challenges, a nice skill based progression, and you'll sweat your banana off. Enjoy!
It's still crazy to me that you work a full time job and still have time to make such amazing content!
he literally just plays video games and livestreams. im sure it's not so hard that he can't do that alongside a fulltime job
@Martin Karlsson and how long would that take? couple hours? plus, it's not like he's doing all of that in one day
@@tonyisnotdead editing takes a day or week or a month or even 6 months, there isnt just a automatic editing button
@@tonyisnotdead yeah editing is really time-consuming. plus after working 8 hours it's really hard to focus on anything, even if it is a hobby.
@@tonyisnotdead no wonder you say that your videos are trash lol
I think it's awesome having to genuinely learn, it feels that much mor rewarding when not only do you do it, but you start learning, you watch your opponent and when they make a strike, you raise a block, then retaliate, and that's what VR is, making you feel like an actual Earthbender/Ninja/whatever else.
Someone: e-sport isn't sport!
Rumble: Hold my black belt.
Glad to see you playing man! Been loving the game lately. Been hoping to see some more creators show it some love
I'm so happy that you're showcasing this game, it deserves all the attention it gets :D
Yo habie, i love your stuff. it always lightens up my day. Keep up the good work!
Need a game like this but for dragonball-style energy moves
This is the first game that actually makes me want to buy a vr set
It’s basically the equivalent of thrill of the fight pain wise
Imagine Habie trying to play thrill of the fight for 10 minutes straight
habie, i will never skip the atomic brain section.
I don't think anyone does
If they base it on the actual 4 (perhaps simplified) martial arts styles the bending styles are based on that would be crazy..
“Heart health of a small English ferret” omg this sent me 😂😂
its been a year, has he learned how to surf off stone walls midair yet?
2:10 had a thought about this
it's not actually your fault
that sort of thing is hard to remember or keep track of if you haven't had literal actual martial arts training
i did karate for years when i was a kid, so it comes fairly naturally to me
you're not incompetent, you're just normal lmao
Refreshing to watch a "bad" gamer for once!! Everyone does not have talent, yet we can all enjoy the game! Keep it up! Thanks for a good video.
the leaderboard should just an infinitely top player with an unattainable amount of points named 'toph'
Really hope the devs for Rumble make variants for other elements. Imagine Firebending, Waterbending, Airbending...hell, even other elemental stuff like metal, wood, death, etc. Would be great to see!
@@sdrawkcabmiay was mostly thinking in the future, like maybe even as its own game rather than adding it onto Rumble. What they've got so far looks amazing, I'm definitely going to get my hands on it once I get a VR setup
This looks fun and I can use more VR games that give a cardiovascular workout as stated lol. I'm not big on pvp though, so if I do get this I'd probably end up just messing about in that lobby area and fighting the training bot.
Hey habie thanks for laughs man, I've had a rough couple of days and this helps more than you know
This game has so much potential I hope it will take off
“The heart health of a small English ferret” 😂😂😂
Dude we need a pro bending game like what’s in LoK for vr. Full on fire, earth, and water bending with the same type of precise forms this game has. That would be one of the best uses of vr and honestly I could see something like that becoming a new gen esport. This game opens up opens up so many opportunities for vr experiences.
"Thank you, random internet stranger, for the privilege of your time"
No, THANK YOU for creating this content! I'm looking forward to many hilarious vr games to (eventually) come to the PSVR2 (I'm EXTREMELY STOKED), like that GTA clone, or this avatar like-game!
Thanks to you for covering all the indies!
Finally Habie has looked at this game. I've been waiting for something to boost the player count.
I forgot that habie doesn’t do UA-cam full time, honestly at this rate he’d prob be able to
Watched this video right when it came out cause I was so excited to play this game, finally got a pc that can run vr 10 months later, bought this game, played it until my headset died, threw maybe two rocks, watched the video again, now I am sitting in my chair punching the air to practice keeping my palm facing inward while my headset charges next to me
They NEED to add this to the oculus quest 2
0:13 I laughed and idk why LMFAO
I tried to enjoy this game, but I would die if I played any longer.
I cant help but find this very entertaining. Not just the video but the game itself! This reminds me of the beginning of the ordinal scale movie where they had the introduction scene. I never really used VR before but i am starting to become interested. What’s it like using steam? Or what VR headset do you like to use?
I think it's great that vr stimulates physical exercise, because the key to be good in this game for example is that you have to be in a better shape than your opponent. In a way you have to do real life leveling up
The fists were RIGHT there to guide him the whole time 😭
7:51 LMAO
massive skill issue ngl
With him or the game
Habie, I remember when it was only 5k of us, now there’s fucking 500k, this is beautiful to see your growth, and all you had to do was just stay consistent and I knew you’d eventually have a stadium full of people watching your content, Congrats!!!
imagine not having the cardio to play a vr game ahahaha great video bro might have to start running or something
fr like bro was drowning in sweat??
This is literally the exact kind of game I wanted to play in VR.😮
I was researching to see how to develop a game like this for psvr2 and was recommended this video. I'm glad because I didn't know that game and thought that maybe people would not be into this kind of game!
I feel like it's a very well made way to trick people into exercise. Because.... hell yeah, if i can feel like Aang, I'll exercise for hours!!
People who play the drums are gonna dominate in this game hahaha
This must how it feels to be a beginner Bender in the Avatar Universe
This is pretty awesome. Now we need a game with all the bendings! I wanna firebend and restore the firenation to its former gloring and nobody, not even the avatar, will stop me.
Yessss! Thank you for covering this! I hope it brings more people to come play. It's a very small but very dedicated playerbase. They're all super nice and very helpful. Amazing game! Everyone should get it :D
How do I get it?
