Special versions of these attacks have a ton of uses. Some are slower and stronger. Some create alternative stage control. These specials keep your opponent on their toes and give you another option during grabs, on ledge, or times you missed your tech.

@StudiosofAether This is cool! If you release Rivals 2 on Xbox, will you bring the Ori and Sein rival to the game?

@EclipseDergon We don't have any plans for guest characters right now in the sequel

@StudiosofAether Is it me, or does it sound like Poppy 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘴? I guess it does look cat-ish... Truly, the dande-lion

@StudiosofAether I don't know why I've never considered these mechanics before, these are so fricken cool. Can't wait for the release 👀

@StudiosofAether Is Rivals 2 still designed around no mashing? Recall hearing that there was an RPS around pummel/special pummel instead of mashing out of grab, but could be wrong.

@StudiosofAether HOW TF CAN I LAST UNTIL RELEASE I NEED IT NOW

@StudiosofAether Sorry if I sound dumb, but how are these new to the fighter platformer genre? Smash Bros already has all of these mechanics.

@StudiosofAether Wait somebody loves pummeling like me? Theres a pummel special? Yall have ASCENDED

@StudiosofAether Pretty good move set and art style 🙌👏

@StudiosofAether Cool ideas, I hope to see some of the same creativity with these that ya’ll put into the character’s abilities, as well.

@StudiosofAether Oooh neat!

@StudiosofAether please tell me you don’t have mashing out of grabs
