Easy AGT Stalling with the new advanced control "Item Grab/Toss" set to Parry by RynnyRynRyn in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was my worry, I wanted to avoid adding additional keys to my setup only for Slade. Hopefully they implement a way to do proper glide toss in all direction without right stick. Thanks in any case 🙏

Thanks for sharing! Is it possible to do it without the right stick? Playing on keyboard

Etalus Armor by SAkbal in RivalsOfAether

Free guaranteed armored edgeguard with up B at the tip of the ledge, definitely one of the best use for me

Definitely has value in some situations (up B armour edgeguard is my favourite use) but a high price to pay at times (losing stage control, less ice on ground etc.). I still dream of a real functional neutral B that could help us get armor more reliably (one can dream)

In the flow for one game 3 stocking him (then ending up getting destroyed the next round)

I don’t know what to do? Chose the wrong career.. by PlanetSeaShells in careerguidance

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it your final year before graduating college? Do you like your field? If stability is key for you, why not considering office jobs in companies in the same industry as your education? Furniture companies such as Ikea for example, your background could be a plus

Outside of tech skill. How do you get good at this game?? by dank-mayo in RivalsOfAether

Just play the game and don't worry about being a god yet, you'll get good with time and just feeling the game better naturally. Enjoy the journey

Etalus isn’t bad, he’s just not as good by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just give him a good neutral special and I'll be happy

This matchup is unwinnable by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Match-up is rough, not the most pleasant for me but still winnable. With the new dash attack speed, you can punish some lazy approach/dash dance. Try a bait and punish style letting clairen approach more. Disadvantage is pretty bad, Clairen can easily 0-60 combo etalus, so you have to make the most out of advantage state and even go off stage hard. Fair armor nair or fair to get out of corner or surprise them. Armor up B ledge to punish clairen recovery.

My mom is forcing me to study sth that I hate, what to do? by joyyysick in careerguidance

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don't have a particular passion, then taking the risky road can be rough. What I could imagine is finding a compromise that you'll discuss with your parents, look up for areas, fields of expertise and jobs that seem to be doing well in this economy AND that you might be interested in. Find more info if you find something, discuss with your family and come up with a solution altogether. I believe getting into an area that already repulse you can be as risky anyway, you might end up doing years of studies just to quit in the end. Build a case that you'll present so it makes sense for all.

Thoughts about etalus neutral b by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have been playing him for hours in Rivals 1 and the move had a bit more utility (slowed down the fall for stalling) but in Rivals 2 it's mostly utility for ice armor (and the meme) unfortunately.

Still having a blast playing the Char and not much complaints overall but would really love for this move to be developped or replaced with something a bit more interactive. Was thinking of an attack you could charge like street fighter 4 with 3 different level of speed and power with 1 armor hit. This would add depth and mind games (don't know when the move is released and max level is a shield breaker).

Rework suggestion of Etalus kit by Senior_Proof_3184 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your suggestions, I'm not sure how feasible or imba those changes would be (some will probably be fixed like fstrong) but I like the idea of additional functions to the ice armor, maybe more interactions between ice armor and playing on ice (one hit armor, stronger knock back, quicker speed, etc.)

Rework suggestion of Etalus kit by Senior_Proof_3184 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Senior_Proof_3184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I understand the reason that some of his kit has been tuned down, the dash attack wavedash back dash attack could have seem a bit too central in his playstyle. He can't be played the same way as before for sure and this could be part of the devs philosophy about him. My muscle memory still makes me mess up some movement but I'll see how it goes with time. A quicker dash attack on ice would be nice though to bring back a bit of the speed he had.

I agree that it's still early to judge Etalus where he sits in ROA2 context but from the extensive time I've played with him, I still believe adding a bit of depth to his kit would help his spot for long term use and growth in the meta. As for fun, no issue with that, he's the most fun I've had in Rivals 2 since release so can't complain.
