I pray in my heart for that special life to show me with love. showing me with power to save the edge of car to carry on even Yo, what's up, dudes? Hoy, happy April Fools, you know, and stuff. Nothing planned. No fooling. I ain't fooling no one. Actually, it's still legit. Um, yeah, we're gonna go hands-on with the latest build of an echoing. Full god mode. Epic godular. Hold up. Let me just enjoy it while it lasts. Let me just enjoy it while it lasts. I like the voice of God. Okay. It makes me feel important. There we go. Um, this is what I get for resetting my computer. Anyway, hi chat. We have to start every stream like that. Everyone's going to be like, "Where the hell is the voice of God? Why is the voice of God?" Uh, Florian Queen, thank you. Quinn Mate, of course. Uh, Gllyaw, Jigglypuff, Jigglypuffet stuff, thanks for the bits. Uncoupled Spy, Bofitch, uh, Broken Magnum, Dext Extreme Gamer, Scipharia and Raven Shade, and Angel Glory. Thank you, dudes. Welcome. Welcome back. Damn. 131 Angel Glory. 134. Crimson Kronos, CNK, JDub, too godly. Um, it's Noah. Thank you. And Sirlo and Words and Yonin. Yonan, thank you. Appreciate it, guys. Uh, yeah. So, um, in a little bit I'm going to give it a few minutes. We're going to jump on a call with, um, Rip from Quarterup Games. That's the name of their studio, right? It's Quarter Up. And, yeah, we're going to go hands-on with uh, a little bit of Invincible Versus. And, um, we're just going to play some matches. I think the goal of mine is to show off as much of the new stuff as possible, including, which will definitely be including some of the newer characters. So, I definitely want to play some Conquest and stuff like that. Get some hands-on and uh jump around. We're going to be uh making sure stuff looks good. Last time there was some funky capture thing that happened that made it look not as smooth as it was. So, we'll see what's going on. See exactly what's going on. In fact, let me check this on my end real fast. Let me make sure. Um Akali gameplay now or after. Yeah, I guess we can do that now. I guess we can do that now. Welcome back to the um Hold on a second. Um let's do that right before Yeah, because by the time this is over, we're I'm going to be I might be in here for an hour or two, man. Uh so we'll see. It depends how much time Rip has. I don't want to take up too much of his time as well. My stuff is good. And hold on. There's an AALI breakdown that I should probably check out. Did I see the Mario movie? No. No. I'll see it eventually. Um, yeah, there she is. Champion Spotlight. Aali is a stylish Wow, we're just getting right into it, huh? We're just leaning right into this thing, are we? Let's check this out. Hold on a second. Akali is a stylish, sharp ninja who rushes down opponents with overwhelming speed and mixup. She's a rebellious assassin who left the Kingu order. She's literally a high top ninja to balance in Ionia. Now she eliminates Ionia's enemies her way. Akali is the fastest champion in the game so far, but her health pool is one of the lowest. She uses her speed to rush down opponents and she can quickly capitalize on any weaknesses. Okay. Akali has two unique movement tools. She can double jump at any time and she can wall jump when she has her back to the corner. Makes sense. Akali can cancel any aerial attack into a wall jump, so she'll keep opponents guessing even when she's cornered. Down forward S2 lets Aali teleport forward at a set distance. Oh, she doesn't need the smoke to teleport in place, which can fake out the enemy team. Why is this ninja wearing kicks? Have you never played Street Fighter Alpha? Straight down. Improvising with the Kali's teleport. Have you ever played Final Fight? Any opponent? Yeah, guys. High top ninja like that. That comes from Final Fight, dude. That's 1989. Akali's special moves give her many ways to approach a fight. Her S1 sweep is focused on the kunai, her knives. Standing S1 lets Akali lunge a great distance with her kunai. If she hits an opponent, press S1 again for a follow-up attack. With down S1, Akali jumps backwards and throws kunai. Air S1. You know what's just from a basic standard marketing standpoint, you know what's crazy about all this is that I don't know anything about her. Like she is literally like every character in this game is literally a function, you know? Like I have no clue what she does, who she is, where she's from, why she does what she do. Does she have enemies in this game? You know, it's like the same thing for every single character that is in 2X KO just in general. It's that there's a story to League of Legends and why things are happening the way they are. But in the same way, it's like immediately into the same thing with the trailer, immediately into gameplay, immediately into like function aspect. There's not much like storytelling going on outside of the fact that she is a fighting game character. That's almost like what her story is. It's like, whoa, that's weird. That's weird. Use this move to poke from range and control space. Akali's S2s are focused on her Kama, a handheld scythe. Withstanding S2, Akali slashes the space in they said something very brief in the very beginning. She'll drop Twilight Shroud, a cloud of smoke that powers her other specials. It's just holding S2 will summon Twilight Shroud. It's just a how different this game is. It's a gameplay focused fighting game specifically. You know, Twilight Shroud is a fighting game. We'll get back to it after talking through her supers. Akali's S1 super throws a giant shuriken. It's a full screen projectile that drops Twilight Shroud. Oh, that's good. Akali's Sar is a flexible command grab. It can be a great combo ender for damage. or an aggressive wake up option while defending. Again, the terminology used here is funny to me. Like, it's still it's still funny to me that like even when you get like professional videos that are speaking and acting as marketing material, they they use terms like wake up options. That's funny to me. With Aali's ultimate, she dashes forward with a smoke bomb in hand. On hit, she'll slice tower of smoke before taking them down. Yeah, it's like the same thing for some of those guilty gear breakdowns as well. I don't love them. I do not love them. Let's talk more about Twilight Shroud, a unique mechanic for a colleague. Again, you can summon a cloud of smoke by hitting a champion with certain moves. I have a funny I have a funny gripe. This doesn't look like smoke. It looks like exhaust, right? Like this is black smoke. Like even even when you have like a like a smoke bomb historically or even when like you burn wood, it doesn't lead to like it's like she burned a tire. Like what the heck? It looks like it looks like smog. It's very dark. This is like 1990s era LA smog. It's It's very funny. It looks so dense. It's like they're burning coal. Twilight shroud. All her special moves get a boost and some gain new properties. S1 backwards before she lunges which can help her dodge some. Wow, that's attack and her opponent. S2 meter and ground bounces the opponent. Charged S2 becomes a command grab. When Aali runs in Twilight Shroud, she can pass through champions. Wow, that's insane. She's also immune to projectiles. Oh, she can do it so easily, too. If you've got the skill, you can use this to outplay your opponent. And here's something spicy. Twilight Shroud lets Apollie cancel teleports into one another. So, her mixups can be incredibly scary while smoke is on screen. In general, Akali wants to use her special moves to set up Twilight Shroud and she is literally the dankstable of how she can put it together. She should end the match with just soot all over her face and [ __ ] It's a cool looking super. Akali's forward assist throws Kunai over a short distance. Her back assist is an anti-air. Her super assist is a teleport attack that tracks the opponent no matter where they are on screen. Use it to ground bounce and keep up the pressure. Eden is KOed. Damn, that's a Vadra assist. Great strength is cracking open an opponent's defense. Pair her with a teammate that can push the mixup potential. Oh my god. If you have a friend who's an Ahri expert, they'll make a great dual partner. With Ari's air dash, your high low mix is incredibly strong. She looks like a mixup monster. Like, you're getting hit. You're getting hit. you can also try teaming up with a Yasuo player. This dude can easily switch sides with hops, dashes, and Akali's teleports, forcing opponents to defend correctly or get dice. She's just probably going to do way less damage. I'm I hope she has like 50% health. Do they say that? Akali also fights well with champions that can use their assist to provide cover like Jinx. Use her back assist to cover Aali while she teleports in or summons Twilight Shroud. We've covered Oh, she's a Oh, she's a low health character. Okay. Is she the lowest? She's Chip. Yeah, she's literally Chip. That doesn't I don't know if that's that threatening because this game you get like four bursts per round or some [ __ ] right? You get so many bursts like so many opportunities to break out of a combo. I don't know if that's that that's as threatening when you just like reset. Let me do it again. With kunai, shurikens, and smoke in your hand as well. The only uh the only game that Strider was a really low health character was Marvel Marvel 2. He was a little low health, but not nearly as much as that. I mean, she looks great. She looks really good. Um, she looks really good. Uh, I like her animations. I I want to see her alternate colors and her alternate costumes. Dude, if they give this chick like a Strider costume, I'll be inspired. Not an Infinite. No, Strider's mostly a normal character in Infinite. The thing is, uh, in NBC1, Strider has normal health. Infinite. He has normal health. He's not that low health of a character. It's like lowish but not like really low like MVC uh MVC 3, you know. Blood Moon bundle was revealed from EVO Japan. Did they already show that? They have to do the K do costume. U first comment. I'm not blocking that, dude. Yeah. Yeah. It's still crazy to me that this game doesn't have like an invincible DP, like a an invincible generic DP that every character can do. Just be like, get the [ __ ] off me. Leave me alone. Um, you have to just like hold that. You have to hold these mixes, man. You're going to get opened up by this [ __ ] Anyway, yeah, I think she looks great. I want to play more. I want I want to see how she's going to jive with um with Darius most likely. I'll have to see if Warwick's still a character I want to play a lot of. I don't know. Freezer Burn, thank you. Shampooed, Obsidian Steel, Mr. Meowi, Dude, Nitro, Zericho, uh, Pisces Hatter, Ichio, Frosty, Fido, Benzilla, Dark Legion, Demonic Penguin. It's all luck. Thank you very much, dudes. Um, yeah, chat, let me go ahead and, uh, ask Rip if he's ready. Hold on a second. Uh, let's see. Uh, and yeah, we should Who wants to see some of the latest build of Invincible Versus? Anybody down? They the entire roster has now been revealed. So, the the last character that was in the game um outside of the two DLC characters that are showing up uh the last character was Conquest and they had a cool reveal thing that was happening at the EVO Awards for him, which was pretty neat. So, yeah, I'm kind of just like wanting to uh play the game and show stuff off. I'm going to destroy you Streamlabs. Um, let me go ahead and jump on a call with Rip really quick and we'll go over some stuff and play a couple of matches and show off some of the new characters. Um, hold on a second. Let me do this. And let me see up chat. God, I'm on my other computer and this thing my window is like in a 720p. Hold on a second. Uh, group since I started this. Can I begin a call? Yeah, there we go. Hey yo. Uh, let me get you. There we go. I think we should be hooked up. Can you give me a check check really quick? Check. Check. This sick. Uh, hi. How's it going, dude? Going fantastic. I took a nap, so I'm like wide awake. Yeah, good. That's what happens. Like every time I'm feeling like like down, even like a 15 minute to a 30 minute, I'm like, "Woo, I'm good." Um, exactly. So, I want to give you guys a big congrats before we get started because you guys are like on the cusp of um going gold right now. So, Oh, yeah. That's crazy. Like, how how long has your involvement been in Invincible Versus from like even the early days? I think it's been uh two years since I first saw the game. Like, right around now, basically. So that was when I was first invited over to Mike's place. He like I didn't know what the game was yet. Oh, that was the recording. Exactly. Yeah. There's a little filming of it where I walk into Mike's place. Uh I think I'm wearing whatever. Doesn't matter what I was wearing. But point is uh I got my first hands on at the game and it was very very early. It was just two characters just Mark and Beast. I think Adam at the time was like an invisible character. So like see she has projectiles. We're going to have projectiles in the game. But yeah, it's been it's been that long now. And I joined the team officially about a year and a half ago I think. Yeah. So yeah, it's been about that long. Very cool. Um, and yeah, I your your role is effectively a senior character designer. Is that right? Senior combat designer. Combat designer. Okay. So you've you've worked on like individual characters and the overall like general vibe and feel of the game, right? Exactly. So the characters I've worked on so far have been Rexlode, Robot, and Duplicate. But, you know, obviously there's 18 characters in the game. So we're play testing every day. I'm always, you know, giving feedback for everything else as we have a whole team of designers obviously. Yeah. And that's the the cool part is that like there's also a storyried history with this, you know, somewhat familiar development staff um and me and you because I have to remind people of this because I think not a lot of them know you did the the strategy guide for Killer Instinct. So, yeah, exactly. We were like trading matches. Exactly. Like we were trading matches a whole bunch like before the game came out to like figure out what's good. Yeah. Yeah, we were part of the focus test team for Killer Instinct back in the day, 2012, 2013, whatever that was. Yep. And then I ended up doing the Prima strategy guide for that game and the Ultra fan book. So that's how I met a lot of the team and then I came back and met them again during Breakaway when they were on the Amazon team and commentator of that game. And so it was Bow actually who reached out to me that was like, "Hey, we're folks testing a new game. Would you like to come through and see it?" And I had no idea what it was at the time and it ended up being this game. So that's how we got here. Sick. Like that's pretty much how I got, you know, hooked up with KI as well. It's pretty funny. Uh time is a flat circle. I'm going to go ahead and end uh fire up the game. I think the the best thing or the thing I wanted to do first was just show off um Conquest and have you sort of guide me through unique and cool things that he can do um and what his gimmicks sort of are. And I'll I'll do like a screen share with you right now and I'll we'll be making sure this all this stuff looks good uh just to be sure. And uh after that, I'll kill the screen share and if matchmaking is up and running on here, then we'll just like matchmake and try to play some of the newer characters. I definitely want to play Conquest and like Allen uh because we've only seen so much of them so far, you know. No, definitely. And uh I think the lobster will work, so I think we should jump to the lobby and do that. Open beta. Can you show off some Anissa? Maybe. I mean, I think we'll focus on the new characters that have actually been shown off, but let me get my big face out of here. Um, I think the idea is to show off some of the newer characters, right? Like how everybody is working in the game currently. And obviously Conquest is like the latest, you know, currently culturally also relevant character uh to events that's going on. So yeah, we're show Conquest. Let's get a couple of characters in here. All right, uh, Titan. I have not seen that much gameplay stuff on it. Can you play him pretty well? Yeah, I can play Titan. Sick. He's fun. Okay. I want to I definitely want to see what he can do. Uh this got a couple more in here. All right. So, from a there's new there's new stuff. Let me uh do the penthouse. So, um Conquest, what's his overall game plan? Is he just like a bruiser? Sort of similar to Omni Omniman or No. Yeah, he's actually pretty similar to Omniman in some ways. Uh so, he's got a projectile. So using mole using Yeah, using mo Oh, that's his taunt. A little little hard for the people. Uh his corks little back is going to be the projectile and you can actually hit the light button again to send it forward. So that first part can be kind of a projectile deflector if you want to think of it that way. Okay. And the second part actually sends it forward. Uh does it make the followup projectile more powerful if you if you deflect stuff? No. That would be a great idea. Bow. Hey bow. That sounds like a great idea. Okay. I think also the uh the booster version of that did a multi-hitting version of it as well. Oh, my bad. Okay, that was a good one, too. That was super good, actually. Oh, so this really launches. Oh, yeah. It knocks back super duper far, too. Gotcha. Okay, so these don't angle down. You have to like if you want to get this really close to the ground, I can like maybe Yeah, it's it's kind of tough. You can sort of use it and cover a little bit of space with an assist. Seriously. Very cool. um solid projectile form. I think it's one of the better projectiles in the game actually just in terms of speed and uh the ability the ability to counter other projectiles just because Faith has two durability getting my first card to cancel. Gotcha. Um and then he's got his crystal forward special which is the the charge you saw earlier. Yeah. So this one is wild because you can actually hit the button again earlier to shorten the distance or if it's going to be in range the character like to be there as well. You have a lot more fine tuned control over it. And the farther he goes, he actually activates super armor. Yeah. And it causes crumple and it causes armor break just cuz it needed, you know, a little extra, I guess. So, this is going to beat out even um uh even like the alpha counter, it's going to it's going to go through a lot of things. Yeah, exactly. So, super duper powerful move. Uh does have, you know, a little bit of a slow startup though, but you know, since he can cancel it earlier, he has a little bit more control over how he wants to use it and place it. That was my shush in the chat. Yeah. Wow. Version is basically a stronger version of it. I want more. Um, and then he's got his DP, which is a DP. Uh, so you can go ahead and just try that out. Yeah. And the thing about this DP that's interesting is that it's got a second part to it. So, right there. And the second part is actually an overhead. So, it is pretty effective. And I think you can actually charge the second part as well. So, if you just hold the button when you're doing the second input, you'll actually charge up and take a little longer, go a little higher. Yeah, that'll get balance. Yeah, it's a huge bounce. Uh, and the boosted version of this one is like super powerful. You got like plus range hard. Uh, and yes, you can cancel straight the normals out of both versions of them. You don't have to do the second hit of it. So, you keep the mind game kind of going that way. Yeah. But that's the special in a nutshell. Yeah, cuz every character in the game, like for the sake of familiarity, because you're going to be swapping characters so much, that's like the goal of the system. Um, every character pretty much has, you know, it a fireball forward, a fireball back, and a a DP, right? So, that's going to be functionally different on every single character. Like, what happens in the air might be different than the ground, so they technically get more special moves. But in the sake of conquest, it looks like like everything he's got works in the air the exact same way as it does the ground. Exactly. And the thing about like his moves that make him a little bit more dynamic, I'd say it's like if you do that forward special in the air. You can actually like recover from it and attack afterwards downward. So you can do for example air forward special and then on hit do like a down heavy or something. Or down medium. Uh sorry from the forward special in the air. Oh forward special. So Oh, sorry. I said forward. I forgot. your input. Uh you are Yeah, of course. Go forward special. So, yeah. So, that one basically and then you can do down in backwards, right? So, it's a little bit slower. Oh, I see. But you can end up having you can catch people really off guard with this, but I can also cancel it and boom. Exactly. Exactly. And that one's a sick move, too. That's a down video, but charge. So, he's got some some similar stuff that um even Allan has where he's like unique like hold down attacks do different things. Exactly. Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah. So even uh crouching his crouching medium if you hold that one it's going to be a charge medium in a second there also has armor. Oh wow. So it's a hard knock down from that one. So you can set up the oki with your assist etc. His air down medium is that stomp which is great out to show if you guys That's cool. Wait wait wait I got I got to test. Hold on a second. Uh if I did like Wow, that goes far and it can be kind of ambiguous. Mhm. Yeah, it's a little tricky for sure. If you can do multiple Yeah, it's fun. Um, what else are you going to say about him? He has his air heavy like a headbutt and that one's also chargeable to be a bigger headbutt. Interesting. If you hit it on a standing opponent, it actually so on stand air charge heavy. I like the way this looks. It's so fun. Oh, yeah. You're trying to do boot stash. I'm trying to like I have to my my the buttons on boost dash I got to get used to but it's definitely a struggle to learn Bash but yeah super fun this was in the trailer I like this I was like man he's just beating the [ __ ] out of this guy he definitely seen the show and if you guys have watched the show you probably know headbutts are kind of a thing between cockt so and in terms of is there any other gimmicks he sort of has or is that the the big primary few yeah I feel like we got something right Feel like I'm getting something important right now. Oh, the supers. Yes, the supers are important, too. So, he's got his course forward, which is this one right here, right? Multi. It goes forward, kind of homes in the opponent a little bit, too. Kind of help you in your alignment with this. But the other one's more interesting. He's got his course back super, which is the one that drags him across the floor. Now, this one is always going to go to the corner. So, if you're in the corner, it's going to do less damage because it's just going to end up right there really quick, right? All right, you want to use this one specifically when your opponent from the other side of Oh my god, he drags him across the whole stage. Ah, cool. Very cool. And this looks like a really easy opportunity for Oh yeah. So that's that's a launch. This is a this is a tag opportunity. Yeah, exactly. If you hold the assist, you can uh you can actually tag off. Yeah, just like basically every every super in the game this great opportunity to get the tag in, but you don't have to do it off the super. Could be off any special or any normal even. So tagging is very open in this game. I would say this move looks great, by the way. Down uh down heavy. It looks awesome. I I realize that I can only do so many of them because if I if I do too many, it's it'll it'll pop out cuz it's a uh it's like a unique attack. I think this is a combo ender. It's over now. Yeah. It's like the more ground bounces or wall bounces you do in the game, the more you kind of uh get hit by the penalty on the combo meter. So that's kind of the idea there because it's doing a ground bounce off of that stomp, right? It's going to build up that combo meter faster the more you use in the combo. Yeah, I think in the air if you're doing the boosted DP, that'll automatically swap sides for you. Oh, really? So So that way you can kind of do the boost DP to swap sides. You can use your back super to go further across the base kind of like I need to get on the other side of them. Let me do the boosted DP. That'll swap sides and I can do DP the other way. Show me your interesting. Now we're getting somewhere. Ah, man. I'm going I'm going ham. Um, wow. Yeah, he feels like he feels close to Omniman in terms of like speed and stuff like that, which makes sense. He's a Dramite, but uh doesn't have quite like the commanding air superiority of a character like Allen. And Allen is just whippy zippy, man. He's he's all over the place, dude. He moves so much in the air. So, I kind of like that. Yeah, that's because he has all of this like grounded armor on a lot of moves and crumble states all over the place. It makes it very fun. Yeah. And armor break. I forgot to mention that his boosted DP is also an armor break. DP is wo. Yeah, boosted DP is an armor break as well. So, he's got a couple of armor breaks that really just dominate opponents who have a lot of armor. So, Titan's a great example of this, right? Titan is a character that's built around armor. So, if he's armored up, he's got the wrong form on. All the specials basically have armor on. So Conquest specifically is going to be good in that matchup using his boosted specials or even just a forward special. Wow. Oh, that is crazy good. Split down like a short hop, etc. Yes. Now we're getting one I need to spend more time with. Yeah, I think all three of your characters right here, they have really good aerial mobility, right? They're all very good at kie dashing and they're very different than a character like Titan who just super grounded. No air dash at all. No double jump even. So, just completely different, completely separate type of play style. Yeah, I have not seen Titan like really fight a ton outside of the initial trailer. I'm curious how he like operates because I I love that the game has all these like also directional commands in the air and on the ground. like obviously on the ground because of standing and crouching, but like he's got this one. He's got forward, which does something different. He's got the down version like you can really fill out combos and like almost staircase downwards with the majority of characters, which is which is pretty neat. I think the toughest thing in and for me is that I'm having to get used to um what is building the gauge so much, the combo gauge, cuz this builds a lot and that builds a lot. So, it's like, okay, so how do you work around that? which is where the optimization of the game is really going to kick in, which is fascinating because these assists drop the combo gauge. And so the thing is too, like a big part of this game is whether your character is a groundbased character or an air based character. So all three of your characters are air based characters. So you can only do the boost dash cancel in the air. But every time you do a boost dash cancel in the air, your combo meter is also dropping as well. Really? So right now you're doing the four headbutts in a row, right? But if you look at the com meter during it, you have like no combo meter used. Wait, I did not know that. So, okay. So, before I mean, I've we've played so many different builds of this over time that it's like hard to remember which game we're playing. Um, boost dashes were like heavy heavy heavy and heavies used to build like a lot. So, it wasn't this was like 6 months ago. It wasn't necessarily really worth it to do it like in the beta cuz it was like this is neat, but I feel like I can only really get it after um, for example, not bad. Hold on. Where is What? That was pretty sick actually after one of these, you know, and then you just get all the meter in the world and it's like now I'm going to go crazy. I actually have the resources. But you're telling me now if I do this uh dude, it's not going down. Oh my god. Yeah. So, you can do much longer combos now doing boost dash cancel. Uh, so your limiters in the air though are going to be like you can only have one special and one boosted special in the air. Right. Right. So you have to return to the ground to get access to those again. Kind of easy because you can do like a DP to take him back to the ground and then relaunch and get the air and boost that more. I'm trying to This is almost like an MVCI heavy heavy heavy heavy combo. It's It's And so Omniman can likely do the same thing as well. Wow. Wow, dude. So, now there's a really big trade-off where like you're going to use your boost gauge either on EX's or defense or I'm cashing this [ __ ] out, you know? Exactly. So, the way it ends up playing out is just like you described when you have your character, you're kind of deciding, you know, if you get a hit now, I can catch up by using my boost gates, but that also leaves me kind of defenseless. I don't have access to a road strike anymore or quick block or assist breaker anymore. So, you kind of have to really decide is it offense or defense that I'm going to be spending the boost gauge on. That's neat. That's such a cool That's such a different tradeoff than it was before when it felt like mega situational. Uh like if you get this stage transition or something like that, you know? Uh and Allan gets the same thing, right? Oh, yes. Every character will be able to do a heavy loop like that. Uh if they have a air boost dash cancel, right? But like even right now like you're doing the heavies, but just try doing like light medium heavy or just medium heavy boot that cancel and you'll see that you can do more. It goes down so much. Yeah, it's a ton. So you have a ton more combo meter to work with here. Still do specials in the air. You can still specials in the air and then I can just like go for any of my launchers. Yep. And you can also call in your assist during all this which is wor even more, you know. Thank you. Oh, you know. Oh, you man. I did the wrong one. I did the back. It It definitely takes a while to land this up and get it all comboed down. So, I I see what you're talking about. Like there's the special move limiter that kicks in where it's like unless I do here's a normal special. Let's repeat it. I have to use an EX here. To actually extend it even more. Wow. So optimized combos are going to get really interesting because it all depends on what starter you have and how much like combo gauge you have to work with. Exactly. And so like you know also you know going back to like the KI routes where you had the openers into normal right where you can do like you know heavy into special or special and heavy etc. Uh now for some characters if you say you're conquest good example here right you can't do boost dash cancel on the ground. So if you hit something like say heavy into course go forward into heavy again like that right like if you go go back to normals after that you can't boot that cancel the end of it unless you lose this part myself but if you launch crouch heavy afterwards then you can start doing the boost dash cancel and lower that combo meter in the air. Wow, dude. Okay, so I am actively manipulating uh the the combo gauge now in a reverse direction. Like there's there was some modifiers like this generic assist will pop it down a little bit, but now I am like actively bringing the gauge lower um as a result of using boost gauge. So I love that. I love that like boost is the most unique mechanic in this game and it's the most fun. It's also like the most important thing next to your life bar. Um, so it's really cool how many things are in there and there's like another offensive utility for it now. I like that a lot. Exactly. And the boost gauge, it recovers very slowly, right? That kind of incentivizes the tagging. So when you're tagged out, your boost gauge recovers way faster. So managing what checks in and out and all that is like a big deal in this game in terms of, you know, being competitive within optimizing. I'm ready when you are. I think I'm ready to play. Yeah, I think I'm ready. There's so many things that are in my head now of like what I can do that is different than before. All right, let me boot up. Let me back out to main menu. Yeah, chat as a players. Personally, myself, I've been playing this on just this going to sound crazy to some people, but during development, I primarily play on an Xbox controller just because it's the easiest thing to just pick up and put down repeatedly. I don't like picking up anything big. So, that's my primary peripheral in this game. I was kind of the same way even on KI where it was just like the controller's always plugged in and I just need to pick something up to test something, you know, like let me get in there. All right, let me do like Conquest and Allen and Omni Guy. Let's get going. oh, one more thing I want you to double check too really quick. I forgot to tell you earlier you back out of this menu. There's like an online settings at the bottom. I just want to double check your settings. Okay. Uh, online settings. Yep. And then you can turn showing on just so we can make sure that things work compared to everything else. Yeah, we're good. And the input delay is two is the default, right? Two is default. Yeah, we can leave. That's pretty sick that there's you're allowing people to change that. That's cool. Um, okay. So, we want to go casual. Uh, you go to lobby, actually. So, I just set up a lobby. I hope. Oh, wow. I don't even know if I've seen this before. This might be the first time I've seen this actually working. Holy heck. There you go. You stick in that lane with I am. Yep. Cool. Join fight. Sick. Wow. Functionality. Yeah. It's like almost like the game's almost out. I know. It's almost like it's coming out. That's what happened. I woke up this morning. It's almost like it's actually about to be released. Yeah. I woke up April 1st. I was like, "Wait a second. It's April. Our game comes out this month. Holy shit." You know, like it's not an April Fool's joke. Oh god. Yes. This is going to be the best day I've had in a long Oh, I'll do that right now. Yeah. I don't know where the [ __ ] you came from, but bring it on. What team did I pick? You're the red one. Yes, I think. Oh, please. I got it. That was exactly what you were talking about. Where's my breaker? Oh my god, I got two hagged. That didn't work out very well. That's the wrong guy. Here's a solution. Watch it all the way. I'm way up here, bro. I'm I'm way up here. Hello there. What? Okay. Okay. I'm going to remember where this stuff is. We're going to get it. I need a game. My favorite is the water. Warm it up. We're warming up. That's all. Impressive. A [ __ ] Oh my god. That's impossible. That's impossible. It beat it out. Nothing I hate more than an optimist. Fight. What fun. Oh, she has a dive kick. She neededly doodly. So nice. And you can cash it out. Cool. Holy god. I'm way up here. I'm just getting stuck. Oh god. Son of a Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Give me Give me a couple games. Give me a couple. Just warm up. Just warm up. I'm not going to be the one that tells Mark about Evo. Yeah. Uh, is Monster Girl's assist, her back assist still insane? It should be less insane now. Okay. All right. Before she was popping from like above and you couldn't stop her like Yeah, I I remember I was I was feeling I was feeling just like you. We went down, you know, there like this is unfair. Uh, is it cool? That's interesting. Pretty good. Yeah. Okay. Harder. That is not good. I tried mine. They all fear me. You You assumed I knew what I was doing. Damn, you learn fast. God. Oh, what? Yeah, we both Oh, Omni Man, I hate your anti-air assist. I hate it. Hell yes. God, that's exactly what I didn't want to happen. Unnecessary. Sorry. That's cool that you can like extra juggle. Typically disrespectful in Japanese gaming. Not now. We're in America. Stay there. Watch it. We need to talk. I'm doing something today. Do level threes still do insane damage. Oh yeah, they have those here, right? It's important. Come on. Teamwork. Oh, this doesn't do it. I think it does. Watch. I am flying, brother. No. God, there I needed it. That's what that is. Okay. Still being hit for some reason. Ouch. Ready. I'm trying to find out where my alpha counter is. It's in here somewhere. I'm going to I will stop push blocking and using all my meter on it eventually. Oh no. Okay, I have to fight for my life now. Good luck. Pay attention. I want to loop it like the beta. I know the good old eight. Oh, I tried. I tried. I tried. Is Omniman's uh DP actually invulnerable? I don't I'm trying to figure out if it is or not. No, it's not. It's not. No, it is not. Yeah, body. Not full body. Oh god. Oh god. Allan. Oh god, Allan. Did I not get that? I think I'm pressing the wrong button to break. Uh, attack me really quick. I want to see if I can find out what this is. Uh, the alpha counter. That's not it. Okay, block. That is push block. Okay, hold on one more time. That's push block. Yeah, man. I have to find out which which combination of button it is on um normal. Did you change your buttons around? I the I still I have the the same as before. It's just that I can never remember what it is on uh normal inputs. Yeah. Is it heavy and assist two? Maybe. Is it heavy and assist two? Try try it again. Nope. Hold on. Nope. How about medium one? Medium assist one. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out which one it is. Okay. Pressing it. Sometimes you get push block and that's like close to what it is. Sorry. Push block usually dash. Okay. So, I'm thinking I'm doing a dash and I'm going to find out. I need to find out what it is. I got to keep press and stuff. Oh, hold on. Let me switch team real fast. Tie that. Is this Is this online? Yeah, we're showing off the lobby system pretty much for the first time. How's the net code? Um, I've had no issues so far. Me and Rip aren't that far away from each other. It's not so it's not like we're stressing this, but it's been working pretty good. Yeah, we're basically neighbors. Anyone and if anyone lives in any vicinity of Southern California, you just live next to each other. Yeah, I think at the top of your screen, it probably shows our ping and stuffing, too. So, people have an idea. It's It's pretty close. Myself from another dimension. You want to try to learn the the button for heroic strikes? Yeah. Let me see if I can pinpoint where this is. Um I'm on the right. Okay. It's not assist two and that. It's not that. It's not that. There it is. Okay. It is medium and assist one. Okay. That's the one. Yeah. All right. Good. This has changed many times, so I'm always like, where is this now? Yeah, that should also be your counter attack if I'm not mistaken. That's an overhead surprise. Jeez. Cool. There. That's there. There you go. Yeah. Got Allan can run, right? Yes. Ah, the break. Stay ready. Armor break. How many you want? Why? That's insane. It it it it failed though. That's insane. Oh, heads up. Heads up. Let me try. Oh my. Oh god, the buttons. That was a regular breaker. Oh my. I don't got to remember. I'm not even crying yet. I'm going to love this. God, I got I'm going to love this. Oh, I was holding forward. I don't like it. This is what I'm That hurts. Oh my god, dude. There's so much damage. I'm going to enjoy this liquid. Yay. This is going to work. Did not work. I got to figure out how to pick up after That armor broke my armor. Cool. Like cool. Damn it. Stop [ __ ] around. My time is valuable. Seriously, I remember what what a mechanic is. You don't attack me. Oh, it's a stare down, bro. You get me intimidated. Time for a lesson. Oh, so is that you calling the uh the failure and then punishing? So that time I I was like, "All right, I'm not going to go for this breaker here." I see a great view. This is exactly what I wanted. Night. You can't do it super in the air. Yeah, you can. You can't do it open yet. Okay. All right. I tried to do fireball forward. I just did it late. I thought you left. I have so much goddamn meter. Yeah. it up. Oh, what that [ __ ] Get over here. That is crazy. So, his command grab that makes sense. Command grab goes through armor. Okay. Throws beat armor in general. So, that counts as a grab. Alan, what is your Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I needed you. That assist was godlike in the beta, dude. Back back assist on Cecil. Mhm. Yeah, I think Cecil and robot probably like the best kind of lock down assist like that. And then I think probably the Event Really. Yeah, I that that big projectile was really good. John's telling me that Omniman's alt was sped up a lot, so it's no longer like Okay, cuz it was before it was a super specific way to combo into it. Exactly. Yeah. Much easier to combo with you now. Sweet. Try. Watch it. This is good. Hell no. I got you. That's crazy. Oh, you can pick up after That's so sick that you expected it to not drop out of the combo. Exactly. Right there. And that's a big part of this. Oh, it works. Oh, let's go. I got an image to hold. Okay. Get the free tag. Okay. Okay. Now you've really made me mad. Oh, in the air. No, this is extra bad. Where's the breaker? God, where's the breaker? No, I messed up. Son of a [ __ ] Hey. Hey, you're down. Pay attention. Me, man. God damn it. Wake up armor. Show me your man. Where's Breaker on my end? Over here. Okay, that that worked out. Oh. Hi. This guy. Damn it. I just tried to stop him. You shouldn't try this yourself. Oh, the armor doesn't kick in. I think I figure out what breaker is. The armor doesn't kick in until uh later. Okay. Yeah, in the forward forward. Damn, that was a cross up. Oh boy. incoming. Oh my gosh, my methress. Holy [ __ ] Now you've really made me mad. That's bad. That's extra bad. He's still going. age. They all fear me and so will you. Please God, please kill. Is it going to kill? You can. You can do it. Alien the alien. There we go. I'm going to live for real. That's for hurting my friend. Yeah, level three are mad chunky in this game right now. Wins. Oh man, feels good. Uh, let's go back to lobby.b. I'll change stage. Uh, or I think we're on stage random. We should be good. Let me Oh, let me see characters, too. We'll swap in. Let's see. We'll stick with conquest. We'll do maybe some of this. Maybe some of this. Yeah, I'm getting used to conquest. His he doesn't feel like like he's crazy in the air. I need to be using more of uh quarter circle forward special. So like big armored rush. I should just be doing that in midair, dude. Yeah, it's very oppressive. Like there's not really a lot of easy answers against Especially because it turns into an armor break at the end, right? So like otherwise you'd be like, "Oh, I can just boost a special against it, but because of its armor break ability, you kind of have to play by ear about how the distance is used by the best day I've had in a long DP motion easy in this." Uh it was rough in the beta. It feels pretty usable now. Like every time I'm going for it, I'm getting it. I can only find what breaker is. I'm going to get it. Stop. I have arrived. There it is. Okay, it is medium and heavy. Nothing. Let's get serious. Medium heavy. Oh, okay. Okay. You and immortal deserve each other. There's just a clone. So that one. No. Let me try. Stand. Oh, he punched me out of it. This is unfair. Watch this. Watch this. This is not freaking my turn now. Oh, nice. God, he has a command grab. Yep. He's the He's the one grappler with true command. You never a match for me. And he's got a crouching light low, too. Right on time. Oh god. Oh. Oh. I remember that trick. God. A great day. One thr. Ow. I'll crush you. Ow. You're nothing. [ __ ] impressive. Get away. Oh, it leads to a wall splat now. What in the hell? Yeah, they're back. Oh, interesting. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And also back throws, they do more combo meter. So, your combo, you still get a combo off of back by yourself without using, but it has damage scaling and also uh So you get like a chunk like already missing from the combo gauge. Exactly. I think it's like 35 to 50% right now. We've been changing it though somewhere between. So it's still an opportunity to get some decent damage off of the basic macro. Exactly. And I think we also the window so it's harder to break those in general now. So before they were much easier to break sort of like a second throw break I would call it, But now it's much harder. So, it's kind of in between a second door break and like a final go break. Oh, I found it. Okay. My my breaker is on u dash button and assist one. Okay. I have to press light light pretty much light kick and heavy punch. Okay, cool. Yeah. Or assist two if you want to use the second assist with this. That That's how it brings out the other one. Okay. Exactly. So, you can kind of choose which one you want to use. And if there's only one available, then either one will work. Cool. There we go. Die, sucker. Don't do it. Can't punch me. Let's do this. I'll take it. You're down. Pay attention. Don't kill him. They must die. Damn it. Learn something. I'm learning nothing. I have learned nothing. All pissed. Shut it down. Damn the clone. Watch this. Oh, there was no blocks done. I always have backup. I don't want to hit him anymore. Watch this. They always have backup. Oh. Uh, I see. I see. Continention. Ah, I missed it. Let's get serious. Damn, that does a lot. I didn't expect that to kill you either. If it's possible to kill you twice, I will fight. Oh, wow. Bad rude. There it is. Found it. Incoming. I see a great view. Getting punched at the price of admission. Hey, I'm like waiting for it. It's here somewhere. Bang is so fun. Now you The nice thing about him as a grappling too is that his other specials are going to hit you if you try to jump. So you kind of just have to sc. Oh my god. Wow. It is very fast on startup. Holy hell. Mhm. Yeah. It's terrifying. Absolutely terrifying to play again. Is well rid of you. Yeah, Logan's interesting because it's like we saw him like a little bit early on and I feel like I haven't seen him played a whole bunch just because he wasn't in like a beta or anything like that. I don't I don't think he was in the beta. Was he? I don't think he was. I don't think he was either. Yeah, he's he's an interesting one cuz you know, everyone thinks that this game has too many filtermites. There's only six. But also, they play very different. Uh he doesn't have a try jump. He's got the hover. So Annie's grappler very very different than someone like Omniman or Conquest or even she's also pretty different. Yeah, Conquest even doesn't really feel Omniman like comparatively. I did not expect that. That was crazy. Holy [ __ ] Trying to do this too. Holy balls. Oh my goodness. Show me. let me try. Oh, I got diving in. You're down. Time for a lesson. I'm not even trying. No. Want to see a great view now? Was that heavy when he came in? Yeah, I will never tell you. I'm pretty sure it was. I don't want you to know. Maybe it was nice. Oh no, he's up there to meet me. Crap. Oh, damn it. I want to grab you. Get this guy. Allan, do you have the damage output? A little bit. Oh, he do. All right. We need birth of conquest. No problem. No problem. be mad fight. Damn you. Yeah, I'll take it. We're going to ruin Wait, I should have I wanted to see the animation. Damn it. I wanted to just take all that life off, you one hit lucky my strategy. That's what's nuts is that even like a raw wake up level three is crazy powerful. Yeah, that's the most damage. I think if you use a level three in a combo, there's a minimum amount of damage it'll do or a maximum. So it's like 80% I think of what the level three is. Wow. Okay. So, even I'm curious what a base level three does if it's just raw like 50 60% Yeah, it's it's definitely around there. Same brain. Uh-oh. Why did I No, it's heavy, right? God. Oh, yeah. You're you're you're getting your flaws. Ow. Where is it at? Where's it at? Save me, boys. I am mega out of assist beater. Oh my god. Trying to keep up. Too fast for you. Hey, you're lucky. I forgot the buttons. Come here. Nope. Come here. No, he command grabbed me through the assist. Holy [ __ ] Lucan damage. Oh my god, dude. That was totally worth the boost gauge, too. Holy [ __ ] Seriously, man. We're here. or nothing. Sucker. We living. We living. Dang it. I wish I didn't have to kill you. Oh, there's a second. Where's that? Nice you alien. My assistant's out of commission. Why? Let's go. Is that Let's go to wise. Yes. Oh my gosh, the timing is perfect. Alan, stop it. I didn't I did grab to try to beat it and I'm dying for it. No, I missed my level three. I'll just keep coming until you're dead. Get ready. Oh god, we're dead. We're alive. Come on. I'm up here and you know exactly where to punish me. Oh god. You know exactly where to go. He's going to be right there in the possible to kill you twice. I will Oh, okay. Okay. No. Wow. Why? Dude, that should have been mine. I am trying to figure out how to make this work in an effective way. It ain't working. Oh my god. If you needed a second, I definitely got it. Good girl. Please get that clone. I I tried to mash out something. It's also a low, I think, too. Ow. Ow. They're all beating the [ __ ] out of me. Got him. You hurt my friends. Yeah. Did I really like the fact that um using that meter is is changing the combo gauge and it is substantial. Like watching the combos get a lot longer for a little bit more resource usage is mad cool. I don't know where the Br. Yo, that was crazy. Oh my goodness. We get right. Oh, I'm out. I try to tag off it. Right here. I need an assist. Hey, where are you going, girl? I can't call it assist cuz I've already committed. So, I don't believe it. I have broken something today. God. It's such a bully. He's such a bully. So bullyish. You have strength, but I have numbers. All right. Okay. Bring it back. No Oh, I want it so bad. We're We are getting our asses kicked. I'm not breaking you committed. I had to. I wanted both and I could have gotten them. Oh, I am a big stupid [ __ ] I pressed the buttons. Okay, my turn now. You were never a match for me. Here. Oh boy. Oh boy. I tried. There he is. Hello. Oh god. Cuz I don't have any crossups. That's right. Okay. I have to cover myself with an assist. They should call you Lieutenant. Oh yeah. All man. And again. Nice. Wow. I tried some [ __ ] today. All right. All right. Stop being such a douchebag. Right. Yes. Okay. What are we doing? I literally did the the ex. Oh god. Called it. I called it. You had the read. You had had the read. I pressed the wrong button. Execution is too good for you. You open. Is this my main choice for team? Not yet. I'm still like hovering. I think Omniman is the character I like playing the most. Unfortunately, like I'm the best with Bark just because I've played him in like every iteration of this game. Um, but I really like the way Allen plays. I think Allan is like really fun. I like his air mobility. He has like an instant an instant jumping overhead if he's close to you. Like he's Yeah, his air mobility is super high. Like super jump try jump downward at an angle. It's just super far, super fast. Ready to lose another fight with me, Conquest? It's what you always do. I'd never have lost the first one if you played fair. Oh, and this. Okay, I'll use this after this. Win. Damn, it's a [ __ ] Let's end that. Got you covered. Cool. Damn. So cool looking. Son of a [ __ ] Come to me. Damn. Come on. Not today. Get these devs. Oh, she's on the way down. That sucks. Oh, Omniman, you definitely don't have a vulnerability on that. That's crazy. He's up here. I'm your breakers. I don't understand what just happened. that go die. Wait. That was heavy, right? Yeah, it was heavy. I'm only doing As funny as you think. I can tell you mark me. weapon is in. That's invincible. Okay, that it literally is invincible. God damn it. you're a bad influence on my son. Don't like that. Wow, that was cool. He didn't die from Oh, the assist didn't hit. Oh my god. [ __ ] you. Does this work now? It doesn't. Of course it doesn't. I'm like, I have to try this at some point. My roll out. See it all now. My roll out. every second. So yeah, after that EX with Omnim man, it's still level one only. Uh yeah, I think the thing that changes like before you had to combo from like crouch heavy into his but now other combo you can do like light medium heavy or something will hit or something. And the way we found a way around it before was off of you had to you had to do ex um fireball and it caused enough hit stun where it would you could combo into it. tomorrow after all I've mouth says if you picked up and gone to heavy it would have worked. Here we go. We're both being hit. I don't like that. Oh god. A blind. I think I'm back. I don't know what to do. That's it. Getting crazy. I don't know where I at. Damn, that [ __ ] got slugged. Holy hell. Get out. Mark, run. Got your back. I got you. Stand aside. That's bad. Omnim man's about to die. That's bad. That's bad. They're holding me. I tried to do armor at the start as The Oh no. Oh, it does that. Oh, there goes both of them. Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Happy birthdays. So much [ __ ] happening. Going up. Going up. Going up. He's going up. This is it. Oh, two. Not that much armor. Okay. Okay. Okay. Should have learned your lesson last time. Yeah. The mechanics are coming together really really interesting where it's like now I see like things just don't beat things like flat out. There are clear weaknesses to to some of this stuff and like why you're going to use it. The biggest thing that I'm realizing that is like important to getting used to is that man, you have to swap characters out constantly. you just do. Uh yeah, the boost gauge is so important. Like breakers are so important, but they all have like counters and rewards. So balancing all of that is like very similar to a KI situation where it's like my brain is going through a lot right now, but it's I'm having a good time because like even though I'm not good at it yet, it does feel good to be like I want I can beat this with that. I know I can beat this with that. I can try this. You know, there's a lot of like options. Yeah, you're it's one of those games where you have to be constantly engaged. Like you can't your brain never really turns on right here. Like I broke that. I had to focus the whole time getting auto. I lost any time you lose a lot of red health. So like one of the counter strats now is like look for a snap action to snap in that red. You got me. Let's go. Okay. I'm going to get you while you're talking. Listen to me. I was attempting things. Be son of a [ __ ] Where's my assist? I pressed the wrong breaker. Oh, I tried jumping. I'm ending this. Surprise. Watch your hand. Well, there was that. I'm trying to scrap you. Time for a team up. Trying to like run over there and grab him in between. You're done for. Yes. Oh my goodness. The safe tag. Somewhat safe. Impressive. Show me. Oh man, you conquer here. Too easy. I got it. Hold it. I tried to throw you off my boost and hit the button. I can hardly wait. Fight. Now we're getting somewhere. Start. Yes. Oh, I finally broke it. Okay. Oh, it's still killed. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. So much momentum shifting, man. I've always described this game as like a teeter totter where it's like, yeah, this feels so good being up here. Oh god. You know, it felt so good for that moment. Mark, you piece of [ __ ] Oh, god damn it. Oh, that this is the This is my mixup. This is the one that's been working since like 2024. Oh, wow. The biggest overhead. I want to leave. got you covered. That assist really covered a lot. Ah, I pressed death. This is going to hurt. Not done yet. Last one. This sucks to be me. Oh [ __ ] Let's go. Oh god. Oh god. Oh man, that's a lot of armor. Get to safety. Yeah, beef is all armor. He's very good with armor. You got to come on that guy out of here. Incoming sucker. I need to stop this. Stand aside. You son of a [ __ ] I was thinking the las. Oh god. Oh no. That's really going to hurt. That's really going to hurt. You might not make it. No, you're not dead. Battle beast damage, bro. Consider this. Totally dead. I think he's my favorite. I did my armor. Crap. Didn't activate fast enough, man. Just for me to win so fast. All right, let's go. Uh, let's go. One more. One more. One more. One more. One more. Another fightest. It's what you always do. I got this half of this. played fair. This time I'll win. Fight. Allan. Okay. Defense. You're down. Pay attention. Why? Why can't Why can you do that? Oh, Jesus. Okay, this is literally a DP on her. Yeah. Yeah. All right, coming through. They're my My oki option. I am getting bounced. Holy mother of god. That's new. I've got you. Oh no. I don't know what I got hit by. Nice. That was a heavy too. Oh, my run doesn't have armor. Oh god. I thought it did. My bad. No. No. Where do I go from here? Coming in hot. He's going to go every Made me bad. That's an overhead. That can't be allowed. That cannot The assist cannot be an overhead. It's fair. That cannot be allowed. Nailed it. See you how you like it. That's crazy. That should be illegal. Are all of the generics overheads? Not all. Oh jeez. Battle beast. Cosmo Cos is also My armor did not activate. Yeah, it takes a while for it to hit. Oh man, man. I actually had a combo. it's hard. Yeah, Conquest reminds me a lot of Omniman where it's like their strengths are are there, but fitting them into a game plan takes a little bit of time, right? Definitely. And Omniman's like the exact same way where it's like, yeah, I started to get familiar with him and with the right assist, he feels good, but it takes some time. Like he doesn't just immediately start like vibing and jelling. You got to figure him out. Which is why like everybody should play Mark because Mark like Mark fits on any team. like he feels like he can either be unabunga or defensive or just go nuts, you know? Yeah, for sure. That sounds like a really good description actually. I think you're spot on. All right, thanks RIP. Uh, thanks for the breakdown as well. And, um, yeah, Chad, for those of you that are unfamiliar, in about a week, the game is going to have a open beta on PlayStation. So, uh, all these changes like it's a completely different game. Like, I know some things are looking familiar, but no, no kidding. Like so much of this stuff is completely like alien to me of like how it's operating and how it's working now. So highly recommend it. Um Oh, is it on Xbox as well? It's on Xbox, too. It is. It is. Sick. Okay, so it's pretty much specifically like the console versions. Um and just not PC. Okay, that makes sense. Um that'll be good because we can test crossplay and stuff like that. Uh very cool. Very cool. All right. Appreciate it, Rip. Thank you so much for the breakdown. Sure, man. Thanks for having us. All right. Have a good one. Uh, all right. Sick, chat. Let me close this guy down. Uh, yeah, conquest is fun. He takes some getting used to, though. You know, I have to like, again, the dude, the game became so like whippy zippy in this current state that it's just way different, you know? Things are just operating on a completely different level than uh the previous version of the game, dude. Like, no kidding. It's like, all right, I'm trying to like compromise and figure out stuff. I'm not even using half the mechanics. I'm still trying to figure out where the buttons are on my controller, but from what I was like getting into, it was really fun doing back and forth, like actually getting some cool mechanical back and forth where we're like, "Oh yeah, this beats that and that beats that and I can do this to that." Like, feels very good. Um, I love I absolutely love the change they did to the meter system, to the combo meter system. I love it, man. The fact that you can use boost gauge to bring down the combo meter uh a a a crazy amount. That is so sick. That is so sick. So, that just means that like optimizing actual legit combo paths combos got way bigger as a result, too. That's really neat, man. I love it. I I need to start playing the game with that in mind because my I have never even thought of doing that in Invincible Versus ever. Uh how did the footage look? Was it the last time it was like the game acted all funky on capture devices? Uh does it looking good on your guys' end? Was it looking pretty decent? Pretty nice. 10 out of 10. All right. Sweet. Yeah, last time I don't know what was going on. I was either on 120 Hz or the VSYNC was acting weird or something where it was looking good for me, but on a 60 fps capture card it was acting kind of funky. Um, great. Great, man. I want to play more, man. I want to play more. I got to figure out a team. I got to like legit figure out a team that I want to rock with. Omniman's going to be on almost every team I pick, I think. Um, but man, there are so many more options now because of the mobility. There are so much. There's like It feels like there was even more stuff that was added from the previous build I played with John. Dude, like holy hell. I don't I don't have to have time just to sit with this. I have to play this a lot. I just want it to come out so I can play like people. That's the thing. I have not really done a lot of Invincible is actually play against people. Um like over the years that we've been testing and messing with stuff. It's always been like these mechanical functional things, you know? So, definit Yeah, Omniman combos were pretty straightforward before. He was a little like linear, so I'm very curious how that changed. I'm very curious. Perfect launch roster. Uh I don't know much about in Invincible the show to know uh if the roster was satiating every demand, but it seems like there's a pretty decent amount of like weirdo characters and obviously identifiable meme lore characters. Oh yeah. So it's a mixture of MVC, MK, and KI. There's not a lot of MK in there. If you mean by the gore, yes. Like it's comparable to Mortal Kombat. It is a is a gory bloody fighter. Um, if you're talking gameplay-wise, that is accurate. It is more It is the closest of all the tag fighters out there. It is the closest to um Marvel vs. Capcom because it does not have handshake tag, right? Uh it has an active tag, but that active tag only works on hit or uh on hit or block. So that's there's not a ton of games that are like that. Like most most of the fighting games you guys are playing right now are handshake tag games where you call in a character's assist and then you transfer your control to that other character. That's not how Invincible works. It has a traditional tag like you know NPCish and then also uh an active tag that only works on hit or block. So you kind of got to be really and when you do that it can be like broken. when you actually do those things, it can legit be um like countered. So, there's a mind game behind tagging as well as as them as they're trying to deeply incentivize it. They want you rotating your team constantly. And I and I think it also makes a lot of sense that a lot of the characters are pretty easy to play and they don't have a ton of special moves because dude, you're not you are not going to be hovering one character. You're just not. And you got to like, okay, so I'm going to be playing actually three characters. I need to be hovering those characters a lot. So, which specials are they? It's pretty much fireball forward, fireball back, or DP. You know, it doesn't really get that crazy. They have some unique normals and things like that and air specials, but it doesn't really go crazy because there's so much mechanical depth happening between each one of the each one of the combat scenarios. So, if you guys did not get a chance to play the um the the closed beta, which was earlier last year, uh and you if you even if you like that a little bit, that that was such a different game compared to what they have now. Like that game felt like duct tape was holding a lot of stuff together. Um and now it feels like it's actually gotten the refinement and polish. So, if you if you dug that and you thought it was neat, um, check out this version. It's going to be even better. And if you haven't checked it out at all, please just play it and you'll see. Just give it a shot and you'll start to see. I'll do like a tips guide of like basic mechanical things that not everyone's going to be using uh, at some point before the game comes out because there are there are a lot of things you can do with boost gauge and and mechanics and stuff like that. No pretzel motions. There's no pretzel motions. No. Again, uh by default the game is a simple input game. It's like forward special, back special, neutral special, I think. Um but I don't play that on that way. I play with uh motion controls. So, I just prefer the motion controls. Yesesh, man. You got a basic combo creation like what you did for Dragon Ball. That doesn't even exist in this game. It doesn't exist because your basic combo is not always the same basic combo. You have to come up with solutions on the fly to extend your combos. You can't always do a generic like B&B, you know, like there's not really a ton of generic B&Bs. You have to get used to it. Yeah, that's too motion controls get a small damage boost as well. That's good. That's really good. That's really good. Damn. I'm just going through [ __ ] in my head. Just going through a whole bunch of stuff. Yo, thanks, John. Good games, man. Yeah, I'll definitely want to play more. I need to my my brain is still having to figure out where things are on the stick. Um, and it's cool that like somehow everything got fit onto six buttons. That's great. But it took me like four or five games to eventually find out like where's this, where's that? Okay, it's over here. It's over there. It's over here. Got it. Okay, now we're good. No B&Bs doesn't sound good. Um, the idea behind no B&Bs is that you have to create BNBs, right? A B&B will change depending on one situation to another. Every character is going to have mediumheavy downheavy air launcher, right? But if you actually want to get good combos per character, that completely depends on what you started the combo with because the combo gauge can be u manipulated, you know? So, similar to Killer Instinct, that is the that's the exact same way KI is. There's no B&Bs in KI, dude. You need to come up with solutions on the fly. You can't just go back and rely on the same old thing every single time because it will get broken. And it's kind of the same thing here, you know? You gota like you got to like kind of break your muscle memory in some situations. Yeah, I got one I actually ended up landing one boost dash combo with conquest in the air. It felt good. Or was it um Allen? I saw that it was about to uh I saw that it was about to break out. So, as soon as I got in the air, I got one more button, and it was boost dash button, boost dash button. And it brought down the combo gauge a ton, and I was like, "Holy [ __ ] I get the world now. Oh my god, I get the world." Uh, what do I do? I didn't even know what to do. How's the character variety? Uh, pretty decent. Yeah, pretty decent. Your island is better than your Omni. Dude, Omniman is different. Like, it's not the same Omniman that was in the beta, so I have to like get used to it. He's uh he's not the same. Um and I'll show some really cool combo [ __ ] that you can do. I don't know if it still works, but you can do like if if they don't have break break meter, no kidding, you can do like full team rotation. I kid you not. And rotate back around again. So like you've done four or five tags if they do not have the meter to break it or if they're like one character that's left. There's really crazy things you can do. Um, anyway, let me turn on the Super Nintendo chat. Hold on a second. Snessing time. We snass. Oh man. Mar, it's Mario. That Mario brother. Uh, change this over Super Mario Brothers. Um, Mario World 1990. Turn to dust. Just turn to dust. 1990. We got to finish the fight, chat. Okay. See if this is up and running. Maybe in a second. Anyway, Bobinator, thank you.

Thanks, dude. I'm enjoying Mario Mario World. I think this is the most overrated piece of [ __ ] game I've ever played. I think it's unbelievable. I cannot believe that anybody would like this. This absolute trash fire of a video game uh named Super Mario Paint. I don't know why everyone thinks it's amazing. It doesn't even have like a story. It's crazy, dude. Super Mario World is incredible. It's pretty good so far. I think it's what was I saying? Thanks, Silent Night. Thanks for the 20, dude. We're back. M, remember who you are. Jesus God. Um, do this. Fresh it. Press L and R to accept the truth, Mario. 64. What is that? Uh, 64. What is that saying to me? My lives. Oh no, I lost 64 lives. Number of exits I've completed. Oh, damn.

Like, I didn't see it. These eyes don't miss [ __ ] I don't know if you missed yesterday's playthrough, but doubting these eyes will only lead you to a dire future. Holy mother of God. Did I really pass it? I think that's impossible. Wow. Was it just right in front of my face? M again. What? SM. Take this little POW block. Oh, that's where I got to use it. Okay. Okay. It's after the two uh it's after the two uh pipes. Okay. Okay. Got it. Got it. Doesn't Doesn't matter. We're going to about to get a billion lives. Don't matter. Do some chores. begins again. No, no, no, nothing is beginning again. Now we stock up. Uh I don't know what that is, but hold on a second. Where you guys at? What? Where would these dudes respawn? Now do it one more time. No. Okay, forget it. Get on the Yoshi and get out. Get on the Yoshi and get out. Moving on. Damn, this sprite is funny. I don't know if I've seen this yet. The goofy ass looking Yoshi sprite, man.

Fascinating. Unique animation. Oh my god. Why would they do that? on purpose, bro. Why would they do that? What What is this here for, man? you can hold jump if you fly much further. Right. Right. Right. Okay. I didn't Well, I didn't realize I was going to get launched. I did not realize I was about to become like airborne in preparation for that. I have no trust in Miiamoto. Zero trust. Oh, that's different. What the hell? Who the hell are you? Ow. Get that blue [ __ ] out of my face. Making it very hard for me to jump. Oh my god. I swear to God, man. God, this is crazy. I don't like this guy. Ow. What? I'm just ignoring it. I don't even want it anymore. I'm stuck. 55 lives to go. You guys don't show up until I I proc That's crazy, That's crazy.

Sorry chat, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about your mother. We just need to get to a point where we can even investigate what we need to do because I am kind of lost on the next area. God damn. Get in. Get in the goddamn door. Sure. Can these ghost die? Hey, there's a door up there. Oh my god. I can't I have to I need I need to take flight.

Wait, wait. Come on, guys. Ghost Bros. Ghost Bros. [ __ ] Leave me alone. All right. The spin jump. Spin jump didn't work. That didn't work. I got hit. Two exits though. Welcome back. Two exits of history. Back in we go. I think so. Right. Because having No, really. That was it. No. All right. This one has two exits. Tutorial here. The coins you collect or the time remaining can change your progress. Can you find the special goal? What the [ __ ] the special goal. please. I'll take the Yoshi. I'll take the Yoshi. God damn it. interesting turn of events. Okay. God damn it, squirrely [ __ ] Maybe it's just about going fast. What the Hold on, baby. There you go. Love you. What is this level? Died death. Welcome back to the history. Sacrifice. Not a sacrifice. He was willing, you know. He was willing. Uh, so that was one exit. Okay. That was one exit. Where in the hell would the other one be? The coins you collect or the time remaining can change your progress. Can you find the special goal? I don't know if what we got was the special goal But I'm assuming we have to go fast and collect all the coins. That seemed pretty normal. That was the normal goal. So, do I have to get all of the coins? I've seen only a few different coin options. Maybe the other one. Oh, that was a hidden coin as well. Dude, there's going to be a whole bunch of hidden horseshit. Stop playing this game. Tell me there's a bunch of hidden coins everywhere, too. Oh my god, that seems crazy. Trying to go fast, but it's hard. If I have to get all the coins. M. How are you supposed to get that? Oh, I can float. That seemed like a unique ending. Was that it? That was not it. The secret ending is a key exit. You are super close. Go as fast as you can. So, why did the ending change? Was it something I missed in the last screen or was it before that? Huh? That one's the bait. What? There's a different level. Weird. So, wait a minute. It Do I still have to collect all of the goddamn coins? Do I still have to get all of them? Just got to go fast.
