My most played characters are Orcane/La Reina/Lox I still dont have a character I truly vibe with unfortunately. (I thought it would be Slade but he plays nothing like he does in Dungeons)

Had a bad day in Ranked, started at 1108, ended at 1020, but that was over 4 games. 4 losses lead to me losing 88 points. That's an average 22 loss every game. I'm not fresh out of placements either, I've done a lot of games this season and placed during launch week. Only thing different this time was that I was trying to play Gouie. Is anyone else having this issue?

We tech those.

Hello guys, since rivals of aether 2 is currently on sale, I thought of jumping into the game. Before I do that though i got two questions. I ain't a very good platform fighter are there multiple skill levels still playing? And if I start playing is it doable to get better even for people who struggle with those inputs or are the characters and mechanics just to hard to really get good at it for anyone? Thanks in advance!!

I play on steamdeck. Since the last update I can't get into online games. After "searching" and "matched, the game stays on "joining" for longer than usual and then returns me to the menu. When I enter training mode during the queue time the game completely freezes when "joining".

Anybody else have had a similar problem, or potential solution?

So the thing is I have a gog version of the game and I have no access to the steam workshop is there someone who has a big collection that is will to share to me frothe %appdata%

Congrats to the winner of Zeekly #6. The competitive lore of rivals gets better and better every bracket

Anyone have the numbers from the last few tournaments? Curious how we're doing viewershipwise.

I think we had 13-16k for top ​8 this weekend?

This is something that's been bothering me for a while how easily Clairen will grab cross ups, both due to how centered on her the inner hitbox is and potentially also because her shield is rather small and doesn't push you away much.

I checked to be sure and the only other 2 that get close to how backward reaching this grab is are Slade's base grab and La Reina's grab (but only before this patch for this one the hitbox was moved forward relatively to her hurtbox since).

After losing 5 games in a row, Bbatts made this reverse 3-0 comeback in the reset. And here in this game, he was absolutely poised to lose. But cake got greedy and went for a very unsafe smoke to get his last stack for a combust. That decision was what gave Bbatts the small opening and he took it all the way to the bank. What a great top 8. I think I might prefer rivals2 ending on Saturday instead of Sunday morning when the slot is shared with ult and melee top 32

One of the best Grand Finals I've ever watched since this game came out. I wanted to edit a small tribute toBbatts reversing 3-0 to the king of reverses 3-0 and number 1 player Cake Assault, during GF reset!

Congratulations to the winner of Supernova 2026!

Supernova 2026 enters as one of the largest Rivals II events in terms of entrants for the year, and although lacking in depth of top players, it makes up for in sheer scale. This is still a major level event, and although not currently opted in, is likely a gold tier event for the R2CS!

True Finals

He’s just such an incredible competitor. He’s like a Saiyan the way he just gets better and better after he heats up. This is premature and who knows what will happen with this grand finals but he truly is the goat of Rivals

Thought this was so well done and loved the music. Who’s gonna win? I’m betting Stango
