I've been playing the rivals 2 beta for the steam next fest and even though it's been years since I've seriously played a platform fighter, tonight is the night it just clicked again. I've gotta figure some very basic stuff out with my combo routes and how I approach interactions but my paws are working with my brain again in a way that's really gratifying

@Theotime812 oh I was an original rivals alpha tester I'm well acquainted with the game

Clairen! Was a clairen/absa main with a zetter secondary. Ranno's probably joining those ranks in r2, he feels really good in this engine

@pixel Welp. I am just picking the game up and am now terrified of running into you in matchmaking. :mouse_blob_mlem:

@desiree I have like over a thousand hours in the first game and I was both an alpha tester and beta tester for the game, and I played with high/top level players pretty frequently. to say I have a bit of a headstart is kind of an understatement haha

Don't compare yourself to me just have fun with the game :3 and then wait for pomme to come out so the cute mouse can play a cute mouse!

@pixel I was mostly being facetious; getting dunked on is all part of the process of learning and improving.

Never could get the hang of Pomme, though; I mained Ori in the first game, and have low expectations of him coming back. Fleet is fun, though.

@desiree ori is so cool but so frustrating to fight. I feel you on the unwieldy thing though. I do hope that they find ways to revisir the ideas in shovel knight and ori in universe, it sucks that players of those characters are left out to dry but I suppose it is a different video game
