So of course when I was heading to Evo, I was aiming to get more hands on time with 2XKO! That's where all the big characters are right? You may have seen me live on Riot's stream (linked in the video description) but now I just wanna talk about my overall feelings after getting hands on time with the game again. I did get to play it last year and well... a year is a long time to wait! Lots of changes since last years build not the least of which illaoi is like, an actual character now and I just had a lot of fun and learned a lot, so let me share that with you!
I find it really nice that you are one of the few very knowledgeable FG content creators who played LoL and knows about the characters. Don't you find cool how well they are transitioning the champions moves and characteristics to the fighting game? I think they are doing a great job so far, or so it seems by watching those 2XKO videos.
I think its one of the selling points of the game. If you have any love for the league chars/universe this is as just of a big expansion to the characters as runeterra was. Illaoi in ruined king and now here getting a big light to shine is also excellent to me. That said Ryze will rise again, you will all pay for forgetting him
Almost done with all my Evo news haha, will see if I can spin my HxH Nen Impact time into a video. Lots of fun and that 2xko beta isn't too far away now and we will be hitting that hard as well! Looking forward to all the goodies we got coming up
So one thing I'm looking forward to trying is playing 2v2 with a friend My concern is that long combos might mean that 3 players are sitting there doing nothing rather than 1 in a typical fighting game Definitely interested in seeing more gameplay updates over time.
I cant put my finger on it but the walking animations don't look good, and when they stop its so abrupt looking. Looks like your opponent is lagging, but that's the animation itself. They need to fix that ASAP.
Really wish I have a gaming laptop or PS5 right now. I hope by the full game release the game has the following: Different round win poses with qoutes, different intros, outros, etc for alternate skins, different element attributes of the alternate skins (i.e. Snow Moon Ahri have ice elements in her special attacks), special interactions, and special events (i,e, Faction Tournaments like Ionia vs Noxus). There more, but it's lots I would like to see in the full game.
I'm super curious about Ahri right now, but with even the devs saying "She's one of the more complicated characters" I'll probably have to wait til the Alpha Lab to get a vibe But so far, every character looks amazing and fun to play. I'm so happy they went with a 2v2. It's my favorite style of game ever
I'm already impressed with the things I've seen with Braum so far. He may be vulnerable to the overhead fuzzy, but he can do it back at anyone in game? That sounds cool. I'm just thinking about whom I'm pairing Braum with and how I can make him work with another player.
So what's gonna be the team name for Illaoi/Braum? It can't just be "Team Big Body"; that's like at least 5 other teams in several other games. "Brill"? "Will They Won't They"? "Porolhu"?
Maybe I'm nuts, but this game looks to me way less hectic(in terms of stuff happening per moment) than your regular tag fighter. That appeals to me, because those games are a blast, but I don't have the attention span for all that stuff happening while still trying to play a fighting game. Either way, I'll be trying the game for 100% sure. It's looking really good, and I'm already starting to see characters I like.
It definitely because they have purposefully tried to slow down animations and add more hitstop which has caused some people accustomed to the genre to dislike it. The result tho is that the game clarity improves as a result.
Hey Roofle, hope you're doing well. Fan of your channel. I have a lot of respect for you and your channel, but as I'm sure you're aware, your most recent MK1 video and replies on twitter are getting a little hate. I think it's weird how much people are obsessing over your responses. While I agree with the sentiment you were trying to make, saying how people overreact on twitter to new drops of guest characters, I think the way you went about it wasn't totally healthy for the community. Cheers
Riot's approach to this is so smart, man. F2P fighting game with the Leage IP, an accessible combat system, and co-op functionality is just a brilliant USP. Plus, as a Valorant player and a new fighting game fan, i just know this game is going to be polished AF on launch. My only criticism for this game is the bloody stupid name 😅.
I dunno if anyone else ever wanted to do something, im not opposed to it. I am mostly in my own little corner though since I don't really get to events and meet other people.
I’m super excited for this game but I am worried it’s going to be only competitive and will lack essential no actual causal options such as arcade , story etc . Which imo is going to be a mistake if they want to grab a good audience, hardcore / ranked only isn’t going to last, so many under estimate the amount of more casual fighting game fans out there that love fighting games and get into fighting games when it has options and it being riot that’s a concern of mine.
@rooflemonger someone in the 2XKO discord that played it at EVO last week said the game isn't locked at 60fps and might be running at 120fps. Any truth to this? And if so then how would that affect the game logic at a higher framerate?
hi bro i have an interesting idea for a video content. I only played tekken my entire life, and I'm new to all this heat bar stuff. I thought it would be nice to know how tekken 8's heat bar, heat smash, and rage art available on every single round of the game, compare to other fighting games. and maybe explain why tekken 8 players are being frustrated in comparison to other fighting games that also have heat bars, and super moves.
I just want a new fighting game. Nothing out now fits my tastes. Granblue did for a while bit it's been the same for months with a few shake ups. I'm hoping the balance patch in a month bring back my love for fighting games
As nice as this game looks, i REALLY hope it doesnt steal too many players from other fighting games. I do not want riot getting money that could go to arcsys, snk, capcom etc.
Am I the only one who’s tired of seeing this game all over UA-cam? This doesn’t even look that good to me, I do not like the art style at all and this game seems like another “Babies first fighter” game that will die in under a year.
Definitely just you, if you're a fan fighting games, this game looks hella promising. And art style is subjective because one of the biggest praises for this game is the art style
People said that about valorant too. I personally didn't continue playing it, you can't deny Riot Track Record these past games. When they release something, its here to stay
@@Pereira04ps3 I just think you’re a fan of riot games, I’m not convinced people who are strictly fans of fighters care all THAT much. It’s essentially a Marvel vs. clone. Of course art style is subjective, which is why I said I don’t like the art style. Honestly I don’t feel like if you have no investment in these characters you will care
@@djandjb1 Wrong, stopped playing league 6 years ago because it was cancer and valorant a few months after it released. I still enjoy the story though and know the characters but don't play games by Riot nowadays so I wouldn't consider myself a riot games fan. Mainly play single player games, some shooters and tekken,SF6 and MK1 as my main fighting games. But if you know who is behind this game, and are truly a fighting game fan, you would understand the potential of this game. Just because it has tag, doesn't mean its a copy clone. Even content creators have a hard time finding a comparison because it has a unique feel to it. Plus its free, so who cares. As for nobody caring, what about Sajam, Maximilian and the other FGC content creator who never touched league before, that are very interested and looking forward to playing this game? If they at least semi interested and have no real negative talking points, it would be crazy to think its going to be dead considering they are millions of real "riot games" fans. Though you are free to think otherwise and not like it, but a real FGC fan would appreciate all the effort being put into this game for a free game.

@@Rooflemonger Damn the forgotten Ryze. He was part of the base roster ages ago. He went trough so many reworks. He has to be on 2XKO
Dude, you unintentionally did fighting game cosplay, Maxima on vacation.

Rooflemonger aura +1000
Thanks for the video ! Please continue make content around 2XKO, the game is fun to watch !
Uptosnuff is canon Braum height for sure
Definitely feel like I'm going to be addicted to this game because of the plink/wave dashing. Plus everything else looks crazy.
First time I ever saw you, gotta say wonderful beard
Man I can’t wait for this game!! I need more news
So one thing I'm looking forward to trying is playing 2v2 with a friend

Da $400 Ahri "bling bling" skin incoming...
well they aint shy about it, the skins will be the main marketing arm of things and people like me buy all the skins lol
Really wish I have a gaming laptop or PS5 right now.
I hope by the full game release the game has the following: Different round win poses with qoutes, different intros, outros, etc for alternate skins, different element attributes of the alternate skins (i.e. Snow Moon Ahri have ice elements in her special attacks), special interactions, and special events (i,e, Faction Tournaments like Ionia vs Noxus). There more, but it's lots I would like to see in the full game.
I’m impressed with the mentality of not releasing a half baked character, glad they delayed some. Good signs imo
I didn't see much footage of the Samurai 😢 but this combo freedom has me so excited 😮
I'm super curious about Ahri right now, but with even the devs saying "She's one of the more complicated characters" I'll probably have to wait til the Alpha Lab to get a vibe
But so far, every character looks amazing and fun to play. I'm so happy they went with a 2v2. It's my favorite style of game ever
They did make her a bit easier by removing having to recharge her soul orbs.

@@adailtonneto1767 patent this before it is stolen.
2XKO is getting cook update the new HUD and what an awesome gameplay.
Really hope the next alpha/beta (after the currently announced one) will be available in my region 🤞
Soon we'll actually be able to go out and play some 2xko
Even when I am still not sure about the name, the gameplay is fire!

The game looks great! I played the game like 5 times to get as many gotcha coins as I could lol. Gotta get those pins!
Illaoi looks so cool
I couldn't be bothered to look into lol, but their character designs were always excellent, so I'm glad that get away from the moba prison

Hey Roof, when is the beta for this and do we need to sign up?
How come no one is talking about the 4P experience? It'd be nice if at least somebody did.
can we get a jmcrofts x rooflemonger collab? you guys are my favorite very likable fgc youtubers :D

for this vid it should be tekken 7 - infinite azure

I mean it can be done if game logic is based on ticks instead of fps. It's not that big of a deal tbf

Hey Roofle, what’s your opinion about the olympics? Great work 👏
I haven't watched the olympics since like, the atlanta one so I got really nothing to say about it

no Teemo, no buy
I like this game but I'm not interested in any of the characters even for a free game, here's hoping the cast expands to something I'm interested in.
So this game is going to be better than LoL?
As nice as this game looks, i REALLY hope it doesnt steal too many players from other fighting games. I do not want riot getting money that could go to arcsys, snk, capcom etc.
Please get me some void characters kha'zix, cho'gath, Kog'maw! Riot pls
I wouldn't want to hurt kog'maw.
I still think the name sucks, but hey XD
Tell them to stop using vanguard
Nah, tell them to keep it so we have a clean game without cheaters
Man I still wish this wouldn't be a tag figther. Kinda killed MK1 and FigherZ for me.
Mk1 isn't a tag fighter?
Yes, but it will have the option to be co-op. Think of how much fun it will be to grind ranked with your best online buddy/sparring partner.
@@nocandoslurms433 the co-op aspect is really gonna help this game. The only game I can think that has something similar is Multiversus
Well it's definitely not 'not' a tag fighter.
I really wish it wouldn't require vanguard! I don't play any riot games because of how invasive it is :(
I've had vanguard for forever now and it's done nothing to my computer I don't understand why so many people say they won't play this because of it
