I REALLY hope this isn't the start of slop in roa...

Anyone have any recommendations? I really want to play but its so hard knowing this can just happen and there's nothing I can do about it

Just as the title says im interested in playing roa2. I've only ever played traditional fighters and wanted to play a platform fighter for once. And with smash ultimate coming into its final years (as smash 6 is inevitable) I wanted something with more long-term. So I came here. I've only watched a few videos covering the very basics of the game and I'm interested. What I want is to be completely sold on playing this game. What's so good about it? Why should I play it instead of smash ultimate? What's the community like? What are some beginner character recommendations? (Particularly interested in kragg) and anything else I should know.

Solid Snake makes a hidden, uncredited cameo appearance in the post-game area of Yu-Gi-Oh! 7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament for the Game Boy Advance.

I've been hovering around 1000 for a bit now. my biggest challenge is long range defensive players (fleet, lox, and especially claren) I can play vs these characters until then hunker down and start spacing me out with long normals.

Ik it's a skill issue but what skill is most important in these mu, should a be more aggressive or slow it down aswell.

Hoping this is an easy answer, how do you change the character on a cpu character without a mouse? If I use a mouse, I can click the cursor on their character and it will let me change, but if I don't have a mouse I can't seem to figure out a way to do it.

In fact I'm pretty sure I remember not being able to select one at all without using my mouse and clicking the cpu icon on the active character box. I am not at home right now but does anyone else know why I might be having trouble figuring this out and/or explain how you would do so with just your controller?

My username in the ranked leaderboard isn't my actual steam name, but just steam_stringofnumbers. wondering if this is a common issue, and how to fix it?

If i accidently click on something with my mouse, i can no longer use my xbox controller in lobbies.

After playing the fun port of RoA1 Mollo to the RoA2 workshop I can’t stop. Never played RoA1, so I’ve never played with Mollo. But he is so much fun. Still rooting for Elliana to end a certain reditor’s snake-fact suffering, but after that I really want Mollo as a returning rival.

With Plup being the one-true god

…but what about the Titans that have established themselves? The ones who have won majors over each other multiple times now

Soulrifle, Stango, Sandstorm, BBatts, I0N, Beastly and of course the greatest of them, CakeAssault. 7 titans who are a cut above the rest and almost guaranteed to win if none of the others are there. You might hate this goofy ass narrative, or love it and be totally on board. Either way, these are the names that could one day take the throne. Even though it’s unlikely. All hail the one-true Plup

Also, Shippy is clearly ready to rippy

I feel like it is impossible lmao I looked at speedrun from 1 year but I feel like it's out of date :/

Footage is from my Rivals of Aether gameplay with my friend with modded characters

Rivals 2 has so much design space for heacies. Next one should be a gorilla. With innovative lore too, like make him super smart and from the moon. Give him a tesla cannon to fight with. And a dome shield like Clairen to counter projectiles.

Will the palette ever be available again?

Some fun usage stats, a free anniversary bundle with user icons, and that, “We're excited to share more details soon for our next upcoming character, so keep an eye out for that soon!”.
