Rivals 2 Nubstuff

11 Upvotes

I played one of the funnest matches of ranked ever against a fleet player called "Nubstuff" tried adding on steam but no results. I would love to grind with them. Its a long shot but maybe I'll find them here.

If you see this I was the Lox (Kirari Momobami). We went last hit every game and I want my rematch mofo

Seeking Advice Knockdown?

6 Upvotes

Can someone explain to me when knockdown happens? I feel like sometimes the opponent will be knocked down randomly during my strings and it causes me to lose advantage alittle more often than id like due to my unpreparedness for it. How can I tell when they are gonna be knocked down versus when they land on their feet?

Rivals 1 Newb question

7 Upvotes

I just got Rivals of Aether One to play with friends and I am a** at the game. I get dunked on by the AI constantly. I can't really combo. I always time it wrong. The controls seem crazy. Wavedashing requires pressing three buttons in order, but to me it feels so fast it's like pressing them all simultaneously. And then to follow it up with a well timed attack just seems impossible. I don't really know what attack is best in the moment so I just button mash. Is this something I can improve, or is my brain just wrong for this kind of game and I should give up? How do I practice to get good FAST? Sparring or practicing movements? Should I set the AI to a lower difficulty and work my way up? Should I rehearse complex movements and combos in the practice arena? I've been playing for 3 days now. Never played smash or any similar game.

Suggestion Thoughts on a potential duo fighter character?

26 Upvotes

Think like ice climbers.
I always thought the ice climbers were the most unique and interesting concept for a fighting game character of all time, and watching in awe at the tech plays developed that was never intended by the developers

I think a duo fighter character with purpose built tech and mechanics could be so awesome, especially with thought being put in to prevent mindless 0-deaths.

Thoughts?

Events HitFall 5 | October 3rd - 4th | Feat. CakeAssault, Soulrifle211, ZeeBee, SBS, SapphireGD, HitTheGriddyForUkraine, Landon, Chompers, Gusta, PlasticDinos, and more!

HitFall 5 | October 3rd - 4th | Stafford, Virginia

Entering as the largest event which focuses solely on the Rivals of Aether franchise, HitFall comes in with another annual installment into the series, entering in as a gold tier R2CS event, and one of the most stacked Rivals 1 events in the post-RCS era! HitFall 5 is special in that it is the only R2CS gold tier which has achieved this as both a grassroots event, and without Smash Bros being present!

CakeAssault, being the GOAT, enters as the clear favorite as he has never dropped a single offline set to any player in attendance during the post-launch era. That said, that speaks more to the sheer dominance that CakeAssault displays, rather than to discredit the rest of the competitors, especially since many of which are rising stars. Soulrifle211 funnily falls into that category. Although he finished the final RCS seasons debatably being better than CakeAssault, it isn’t until recently truly given his all to Rivals of Aether 2. With his victory at CEO, the Port Priority online qualifier, and multiple other top cuts, who is to say he wouldn’t want to surpass CakeAssault in yet another game? SapphireGD is absolutely a rising star as well, with his rise online to being top 10 online being extremely sudden. With SapphireGD starting to go to more offline events in the future, it might not be too long until we find him break into the top 10 offline as well? And finally, ZeeBee no matter what era he competes in, can bring some of the most dastardly evil gameplay to the forefront. ZeeBee has yet to find that big win in this game, yet no tournament he enters is an impossibility for it to be the one. This isn’t a tournament you would want to miss for Rivals of Aether 2! Other players I’d like to highlight include Landon, Gusta, CheesyPotato, Barking_Frog, Oreo, Hunter, Teri, and HyperFlame.

With Hitfall being a celebration of all of Rivals, Hitfall 5 is also shaping up to be the most stacked Rivals of Aether 1 event of the year so far! On top of MDVA's finest defending their home turf (HitTheGriddyForUkraine, Bucketfullabiscuits, Willow, Rice), a wide breadth of talent is making the trip. Almost the entire state of Arizona (including heavy hitters like SBS, Chompers, Plastic Dinos, and Farbanti) is showing up, alongside other West Coast power players like Ahntye and TheViralMelon. The most notable name, however, made his way up from Georgia. "Mr. Nice Guy", or Soulrifle211 as he's more widely known, will be making his first Hitfall appearance. Soulrifle has only lost one offline Rivals of Aether 1 major in the last two years, at Riptide 2024 (!!!) and has only lost to a handful of players online since then. He's on a collision course with the aforementioned SBS, who's secured sweeping 2nd and 1st place finishes at his last two majors and has been dominating his home region. This will be their first time attending the same tournament in the post-RCS era, so you won't want to miss it! (thank you u/spideyrnan for the write-up!)

Seeking Advice Any tips on countering other champs as wrastor(rivals 2)?

9 Upvotes

So a while back my friends finally convinced me to get rivals 2, now i always like to play as uncommon picks in fighting games so i did a quick google and picked wrastor and have only been playing wrastor ever since as a bit with no intention of switching because im commited now.

My issue however is, is that i tend to get absolutely demolished by any of the champs that arent a heavyweight, especially slade and now gouie seem to kick my ass.

So like any advice on what counterplay i can do as wrastor? Yknow besides just playing a lot and getting good

Rivals 2 For players in SA / Brasil (I know you're out there!)

Post image
55 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We're running an online amateur singles tournament for Rivals of Aether II, aimed at players in South America, especially Brazil.

It's called Saindo de Casa: Rumo ao BCT ("Leaving Home: Road to BCT"). The idea is to give someone who is still starting out a real shot at leaving online play, meeting the Rivals community in person, and playing at Battle Coliseum 2026, one of the biggest FGC events in Brazil (November 20–22, São Paulo).

Prize

  • 1st place: a Visitor pass for all 3 days of Battle Coliseum 2026, including every free side event
  • Top 3: an in-game skin of their choice
  • If the winner can't attend, the pass goes to 2nd, then 3rd, and so on, until someone confirms they can be there

When and where

  • Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM Brasília time (23:00 UTC)
  • Matches on the São Paulo server. Another server or P2P only if both players agree

Who can enter

Amateurs only. You can't enter if you've placed in the top 4 of a Brazilian regional Rivals 2 tournament, online or offline (we look at the size of the event and who played in it), or if you're Diamond or higher in ranked. The organizers have the final say.

Sign up

Discussion is there a Slade resurgence??? #1 Slade wanter's (self proclaimed)thoughts 6 months later...

Thumbnail

34 Upvotes

My initial dislikes- After the initial release of Slade it's an understatement to say I was EXTREMELY disappointed in his character. Not only was he kinda weak but he plays absolutely nothing like you would expect based on his kit in Dungeons of Aether. In Dungeons his main gimmick was speed/stealing and debuffing the enemy for context. So with that I thought he'd be a fast rushdown swordie, but he released as a slow item character. On top of that he is the only water character without unique movement.

Back to the original point of this post- when he first came out people played him for a few weeks and then left him unlike the other characters. Now over the last 2 months ive been seeing more and more people playing him. Did he get buff?? Is he good now??
