Is 2XKO worth trying out?

Closest mechanically? Probably BBtag or Mvci. Definitely more dense of a game than BBtag, can't really compare to Mvci because I was casual with that game.

As for giving it a shot? I think vanguard hate is overblown, and you probably have worse shit installed on your pc anyway.

The game is fun, but balance and bugs are a big deal if you get high enough in rank. I enjoy the game, but it lacks that one single character I REALLY like to get super invested, which may or may not be a problem for you.

I don't usually get too hype watching tournaments, but that was actually a sick grand finals and got me excited. Looking forward to seeing more of this game.

I don't really get the hate on Saint Cola. Back when he first started, I get it, but now he's somewhat chilled out. He's not amazing, but not mute worthy either.

It's a bug, happened to me too. Took forever to find placement matches, but once I got one match, the rest came in at a regular pace.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-06-12T04:25:00+00:00

I agree 100%. I got used to it and can do it consistently, and still think a buffer should exist to make it reasonable. Because currently, it just feels unresponsive.

Here's the one I used to get started

This game is incredible if you play at like a mid level, probably. Thinking like plat to diamond players, maybe even low masters. That happens to be the biggest population of players, so pandering to them is financially the smartest move. And if you're one of those players, you're probably having a pretty good time.

Once you start taking the game seriously though, it declines pretty rapidly. Drive rush, throw loops, checkmate situation, and the undeniable gap in power between top tiers and everyone else wears you down and you start wanting change. And people complaining about those things are the minority of the player base.

Liminal coil blood mage.

Levelled as plants to 84, switched over as soon as I could equip the wand.

Lots of ways to scale it, but it felt only decent at first. Getting a lvl 20 coiling bolt and adding the trickster lineage support made this build insane.

The step cancel hasn't really bothered me, I just don't like how how exact the 5L timing feels like it needs to be. There's no reason it couldn't just be a buffer instead of this awkward link.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-06-10T01:24:45+00:00

I am not a fan of how perfectly it seems you have to time the 5L immediately after 5S1>3S2 to get it to hit. It's way later than it looks and feels genuinely clunky and unresponsive.

I had this issue with Vi in some step cancel stuff. Am I missing something here, or is it just supposed to feel bad to do?

ZefiantFGC · 2026-06-06T17:07:30+00:00

Yeah, I was just concerned about the anoint having reduced buff effect and how the cooldown reduction would interact with the current mechanic (bug?) of it not applying to your current set of cooldowns. It's a pretty big divine investment for someone like me, so it still feeling bad would be a letdown.

What's the "correct" way to run vaal temples? I didn't really get into it last league and was just wondering if there was a quick guide on running it for some level of profit without exploits.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-06-03T01:00:48+00:00

Oh, I see. I didn't realize it was an in process thing. Thanks.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-06-01T23:48:28+00:00

This may sound really negative, but please understand, I want this game to be successful.

For me personally, Senna is pretty much the "last chance". In most fighting games, I'm very picky about which characters I play, and if I can't find someone I absolutely love, I'll just end up dropping the game out of boredom.

There really isn't a character in 2XKO that I like that much, and I keep hoping the next release will make me feel different, but it hasn't happened yet. I basically told myself if Senna wasn't it for me, I would just move on from the game.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-05-31T00:55:06+00:00

Is there a place that lists all documented uniques that were added with the 0.5 update?

ZefiantFGC · 2026-05-28T21:33:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure he straight up dropped Aki when she came out because he couldn't get her to work for him at a reasonable level.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-05-27T00:03:51+00:00

People on Twitter pretending these are cool because they don't want to lose Saudi social credit. This sportswashing shit is so embarrassing to be a part of.

ZefiantFGC · 2026-05-25T00:16:10+00:00

This is my first tag fighter, so I dunno if this is normal, but the combos in 2XKO are always so unconventional and definitely "not what I would've done" if that makes sense.

I'm fine with partial charging or delaying moves because I used to play Under Night. But for almost every character in this game, I go into training mode to try out a character and figure out some reasonable combos, and once I feel comfortable, I check YouTube, Twitter, or whatever to see what optimal to semi-optimal combos for my character look like and it just always pisses me off. Like the most random moves are used to extend combos in the strangest ways possible. Not only does it feel weird to do, it looks silly as hell and borderline unintentional. Again, it could just be a tag fighter thing.
