hey guys, im an intermediate clarien/ori player in R1, and im getting R2 in a few days. Im wondering which differences in the engine I should watch out for. I'm already aware of floorhugging being absurdly good and platboosting dying, but what else?
#Main mechanical differences between R1 and R2

- Wavedash/waveland has lag,
- no walljump out of up B,
- you get walljump back for hitting an opponent
- ledgedash can be done using tourney winner (Jump from ledge then press shield)
- b-reverse is still in but we have Wavebounce now (Carries horizontal momentum when performing a special turnaround)
- knock back is much lower
- stages are tighter, ceilings are higher
- ledge, getup, and pummel specials are all unique per character
- the pummel 50/50 where you have to guess which pummel your opponent will do and press the same kind (normal or special)
- knockdown added

wtf wavedashing has lag?
so less actionable frames out of wavedash basically?
whats wavebounce?
and could i have a resource on grab mechanics?
i heard baby dashing was different too, how?

and could i have a resource on grab mechanics?
once grabbed a timer starts, the timer makes sure you can't hold someone forever
the grabber has the choice between normal pummel and special pummel, and you can only pummel once per grab. if the person grabbed guess right and presses the same button as the grabber, the grab is broken
normal pummel does damage and allows for a chaingrab, while special pummel is character specific

2 frame input instead of 1

I’ll get a clip
You can see how my needles b-reversed and it made me slightshot the opposite way out of a the tongue sling

There’s a YouTube short i can find later
When a Character is yellow they cannot be grabbed
Pummels will remove this grab lockout window

safer option is to just
not pummel ig?

the fuck
how??

yes its the safest option but you lose out of the percent/value of the special/normal pummel
its just a risk you can take
for more damage

makes sense
shadow lintel
is this just b reversing with momentum or am i missing something
its just b reversing the needle charge and then cancelling the needle charge with shield. ranno has a fuck ton of momentum after hitting something with his tongue
pearl steeple
ah ok
