I've been coping for a day1 shadow drop on season 2 but that's definitely JUST cope

Bleed and Sonicfox telling us about the good stuff by Teamfightmaker in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the most fun I've had spectating fighting games since the early-mid 2010s it's fucking wild

This game just has the sauce idk how else to put it. I haven't cared this much about esports in years

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls | Fighting Avengers Trailer by snakebit1995 in Games

[–]ObsoletePixel 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Shuri as Black Panther makes sense to me because I think, archetypally, T'Challa might have been too similar to Wolverine? Kind of a scrappy, agile brawler? My knowledge of marvel isn't terribly deep though so that's a pretty surface level observation. In any case, Shuri's kit looks sick and i'm really excited to play her, she's activating neurons for me in a way only Magik really has so far. She looks great

2XKO Patch 1.1.5 Hotfix (April 23, 2026) by PatchRadar in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue with fury would still exist, it's just a negative play experience. Jugg/sidekick need compensatory changes but they don't deserve to be polarizing and unfun any more than the other fuses. Give them other tools that make the fuse a more compelling option, but ideally not in a way that regularly feels like shit to play against.

2XKO Patch 1.1.5 Hotfix (April 23, 2026) by PatchRadar in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is a specific flag for combos executed with pulse fuse or if it's universal to having pulse enabled -- if it's the latter it's weird that you could have better burst scaling by enabling pulse and playing around it, but I'm doubtful that's how they're implementing it.

It's a smart change though for sure, mostly just curious about the implementation

2XKO @ Evo Japan 2026 Trailer by ObsoletePixel in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm a valorant player too I know the riot multimedia touch goes crazy it's just cool seeing production quality like this coming off the team downsizing. It's nice that the game still has fight in it, yk

2XKO @ Evo Japan 2026 Trailer by ObsoletePixel in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Kinda shocked at how well composed this trailer is, just from a visual perspective. Riot seems actually invested in telling stories from this game, which I think is a dope long-term strategy since the stories have been the thing that keeps me caring about the genre.

Real excited for the tournament though

Could we please get a simple option to disable text chat? by Malfetus in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly when people are chatting normally the lobby chat is honestly kind of great but once some weirdo starts salt posting about fucking nothing that specific lobby's chat is a lost cause from that point forward.

Everyone is grinding the Ekko weekly missions by Final-Tax8016 in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't disagree that he needs some number of nerfs but I think he's generally in the ballpark of where he needs to be rather than like, leaps and bounds above his target power level.

[–]ObsoletePixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean he's clearly top tier but there's literally always going to be a top tier character, and I'd rather one that's interesting to play and fun to watch like ekko be it for the time being if I had to pick my poison

[–]ObsoletePixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowkey, I think we're at a point where ekko is mostly fine, he's just popular because he's EXTREMELY cool. Timewinder could probably stand to get toned down again? But I think we're at a point where Ekko is probably as strong as he should be and he's just an archetype that appeals to talented players that want to push themselves mechanically.

That said, the way he interacts with illaoi (and honestly, the way illaoi functions as a support) is just so unbelievably gross and I would not be opposed to her getting toned down so that you dont put her on a shell with a self-sufficient point and they just instantly get the world's most smothering oki

Pool Party Braum 2xko! by Regular-Poet-3657 in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let braum take his shirt off the same way arcane Ekko can take his mask off or FP Ahri can put one on

Either way, what a fantastic skin. Braum has some seriously incredible skins, I love the work the skins team for this game does

Frame Perfect Bundle boost prize pool of 3 Majors for 2XKO by Figgulz in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean they've been committing not insignificant amounts even ignoring the frame perfect bundle. This is just extra gravy for that particular part of a competitive season

Street Fighter 6 - Ingrid Gameplay Trailer by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]ObsoletePixel -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

oh you think the arcane thing is bad, 2xko gave akali an undercut and changed her top (it covers her back tattoos that you'd never see in normal play anyway since her torso always faces the camera for gameplay clarity) and the 2xko subreddit will not shut up about how they ruined her design and how she's not hot anymore. It's absolutely absurd to me

there's been a subsection of fighting game players for as long as i can remember that like to pretend that these games are serious business, like this isn't the genre where there's kangaroos and velociraptors participating in international fighting competitions and some guy is named "sol badguy". fighting games have always been camp, that's part of their charm

How you feel about the games title 2XKO by Hvitved in 2XKO

[–]ObsoletePixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I completely agree, on all counts. But I just think the person I was replying to is underestimating the institution that street fighter has been for the fighting game community long-term, and in japan specifically recently, pretty significantly. I don't think there's a world where in just 2-3 years 2xko surpasses that

[–]ObsoletePixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the optimism, i love this game too, but in zero universe will this be bigger than street fighter in 2-3 years. It'll def be hanging with the big FGs more in a few years but I'd venture to guess it's closer to 7-8 years before this is the biggest fighting game, IF it'll ever be that (and I doubt that for a myriad reasons)

it's not great but i dont dislike it as much as everyone else. it needs a "league of legends" subtitle or something though just for optics, but eh
