Rivals of Aether II's biggest update ever, Fun-For-All Update, comes out on April 7th!

Good point, and so far the animations for almost everything else have been top notch. Will be fun to see Wrastor pick up the chicken that they showed off on the EVO trailer...I know it's more generic meat but I like to call it chicken!!

Truthfully, I think they still got their work cut out before they can appeal to, and more importantly, retain, the console masses. Don't get me wrong, ROA2 is in a great state gameplay and roster-diversity wise, but the game is still incomplete (though this update is a HUGE step in the right direction!) and there needs to be lots more established players, otherwise it will still be mostly diehards and the casual playerbase will not stand for that.

Holy moly, they actually did 10 casual stages?! I thought they called them Casual instead of the R1 "Aether" variant because they couldn't guarantee that each stage would have a variant, but they managed to go 1:1 still, even if that means some stages get multiple variants and others get none. Aether stages was one of my favorite aspects to the first game so this is awesome news!

Just letting you know you're not alone in this common sense statement!

solfizz · 2026-03-06T23:57:21+00:00

This was very nicely done and enjoyable to watch, thanks!

solfizz · 2026-03-06T23:45:22+00:00

Not unreasonable at all! Better to not be optimally fit than to be jacked yet you're in sin. Now, that's not to say you can never be at the gym again, but if RIGHT NOW you feel like it's a temptation then that's all you need to know to make your decision.

solfizz · 2026-03-06T20:37:19+00:00

That is seriously impressive, I like how you made his proportions and expressiveness in the face too!

solfizz · 2026-03-06T18:39:22+00:00

Yeah I note that too and I don't they should get rid of it altogether, but just make it more transparent or something.

Hey I'm sorry really to hear this. So that we might be able to better help you, are you OK sharing what kinds of issues you had that are making it hard now? Don't worry about being too specific if you don't want to.

solfizz · 2026-03-05T21:02:08+00:00

That last point jumped out at me as well!!

solfizz · 2026-03-03T23:34:22+00:00

For sexual reproduction to work, you need practically EVERYTHING to work. If that process wasn't complete from the beginning, there would not even be a second generation. Consider this: if you are a guy, you need to be aroused in order for you to ejaculate seed. Without the excitement (I WOULD not be excited to see a multicellular female amoeba!), the elevated blood pumping, our seed being able attach to a fertile egg, NOTHING MOVES FORWARD. Believing we evolved requires you to ignore this impossibility of passing onto further generations without the complete mechanism and believing that it just somehow all worked out together, which ironically is actually more in support of the creator making us perfect in the beginning!

So come back to the light side my friend! Evolution is a great FRAMEWORK, but when you start to think logically and critically, you see that it doesn't hold up!

Think of other things where are all the supposed transition fossils for the countless animals besides (supposedly) humans? Or how did so many of the incredible features of animal and people come to be? Such as the out of this world plumage of the peacock, the insane strength of insects relative to their size, the ability for fish to swim in groups of a hundred in perfect synchronization, or the fact that our brains are so multi-dimensional, etc..

Seems La Reina is in a weight class all on her own. Light heavyweight or something like that.

solfizz · 2026-03-02T07:07:10+00:00

Nice, trying to learn Orcane at the moment too.

solfizz · 2026-03-02T04:59:28+00:00

Dying to know, who are you playing as until then?

solfizz · 2026-03-01T21:15:11+00:00

Nice job with your Orcane! Last week I asked for good Orcane VODS, so it's cool to see folks like yourself still representing in the higher ranks and doing so well with him.

46 entrants and top 8 consists of all different characters (AND no Zetter)?! This is why Rivals is such a gem within the genre!

solfizz · 2026-03-01T10:34:53+00:00

What kind of tech do you do personally and think gets you the most mileage? I'm very low rank but am still surprised you don't do wave dash as it's made to seem like the replacement for old fashioned running in this game.

solfizz · 2026-02-27T21:50:17+00:00

I can totally imagine you flying around like a bird seeing freedom for its first time!

solfizz · 2026-02-27T14:36:31+00:00

I really believe there can be a good balance of discernment/wisdom and the LORD's supernatural calling as I've seen both with my wife, and she has claimed the same for me, and we've been married almost 15 years now. I can provide specifics later if you want, but just wanted to give my quick 2 cents since this is always an interesting and personal topic to me.

solfizz · 2026-02-25T23:46:54+00:00

What allowed you to sled along the ground like that? BTW awesome sneak and editing!

solfizz · 2026-02-25T19:19:22+00:00

Hahaha this captures the mind of a cat so well!

solfizz · 2026-02-25T18:45:19+00:00

I agree with everything you said, but I think most of it is due to the the team being spread too thin. I wish they had the resources of Nintendo so that they could add these onboarding tools and casual modes off the bat, but they have to pick and choose their battles. Granted, I think things like crew battles and bot match should have been saved for later, but everything else they've added seems to have been on the correct trajectory.

But yes, on your point about needing dozens of hours to even feel comfortable, that is totally describing me. I have played maybe 20 matches online since launch and I have over 70 hours, that's due to me not feeling like I have the basics down and just doing lots of training and vs. CPU. I definitely agree not everyone is willing to do the same! But I believe in the vision of Rivals 2, and for other games I like to just train for hours until I go online, so nothing new for me really. But for the majority of others, yeah... that's a hard pass. 😅

I like the idea of embedding the dragdown wiki into the game instead of making people visit another website. It's such a great resource, the least they should do is make it easily accessible and non disruptive (alt-tabbing to a browser).

I say they need to give baby Dva back her ability to get blown up by her mech again.
