How's it going everyone?
The Gran Slam wrapped up last weekend. We got second (up from last place basically the entire time), so while I'm a LITTLE salty, I think we had a really good run.
Now that I got some more free time, I got a couple of things coming up... is what I would say, but September has both the Marvel beta and the 2XKO "beta" (launch).
That being said, I want to sneak in some stuff I want to do with all the topical things coming out. For starters, I recorded a video with JMCrofts about unique attacks in fighting games that was really fun to record - I'll be posting it here first (since I'm not editing it, lol).
I also REALLY want to make a video about the Gran Slam too. I haven't done tournament recap for a while, and I feel like this is a great way to get back into it.
On the subject of Marvel, a typical thing I do with games/betas is play, let the content wave go through, and try to think of something one step further that only I can talk about. If we take 2XKO, the big thing was simple inputs, so after all the "I played the beta/I did xyz" got posted on YouTube, I did this -
This was about simple inputs, and I referenced how launch Granblue did it (giving options to people to do the technical input or the simple input). The interesting thing about launch Granblue was there was tactical benefits to using both - simple inputs let you react faster, in exchange for cooldowns.
For Marvel, I was thinking of a roster video based on BB drives, since there is honestly so much Blazblue in this game. I've heard the character abilities compared to Injustice trait and it brings me physical pain. A couple of ideas here would be, say, Magneto having aspects of Tager or Kokonoe, or Phoenix as a mode change character.
Finally, I wanted to do another Q&A video for y'all this month, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the replies here.
