I didn't get to put some of the music videos in this reaction and also cinematic episode 3, due to copyright issues but I tried to include everything I could. Thanks for suggesting this game!

Chamber is just the batman of this game, he doesn't have superpowers, hes just ungodly rich and smart.

So fun fact raze they chick with the bombs is voiced by the same person as sombra from overwatch and raze and killjoy are a couple

Nice reaction! By the way, Kay/0 doesn’t rewind time, that first sequence is him replaying the simulation over and over through machine learning. That’s why it kept cutting to his head connected to wires, because it was collecting data on the agents.

Context/Explanation; 1. Valorant is the result if CSGO and Overwatch had a baby. It leans more on CSGO mechanics but with the character abilities like OW. So if you've played CS, you'll know how important being accurate with your shots is in that game and the same applies to Valorant. It's also like OW but unlike in OW where you can use abilities more often, in Val you have a set limit of abilities you can use every round so being very strategic with their use is vital at getting any value from them. 2. 5:15 Yup, it's the lore for why you have 2 teams and why the same agent can be on both teams. One team is the Attacker and the other is the Defender. It's basically CS Terrorist and Counter Terrorist. TLDR for the lore; Two Earths called *Alpha Earth* and *Omega Earth* as well as two Valorant orgs called *Valorant Protocol(Alpha)* & *Valorant Legion(Omega)* and two sets of agents belonging to those Valorant Orgs. 3. 25:46 This video a promo for the Valorant Esports Scene. It's called Valorant Champions Tour(VCT). This video was for Champions 2021. There is one for Champions 2022 as well called "Fire Again." As for Champions 2023, it should happen near the end of this year. Currently, regional tourneys are happening for slots in Masters which in turn determines who can play for Champions. 4. 35:34 That's Sova. He is actually one of the earliest agents for the game. This compilation you're watching didn't include the earlier videos featuring the first characters introduced into the game. He along with many others were introduced in their individual vids. 5. The Skye Vietnam, Viper, Jett Music Video, and Raze Music Video were all from when Valorant acted like their official accounts for twitter and youtube got taken over by the agents.

Can confirm, the full song from Harbor's trailer, RAJA, is such a banger, I couldn't stop listening to it for months... And love the representation for India even though I'm not Indian. I just love the representation in general from this game. Fade's trailer song is incredible too even though it's instrumental only, the beat is so sick and a cool nod to her Turkish roots

Just finished and mannnn i loved this reaction. Honestly, despite recommending them there were quite a few i hadnt seen before. Like that last skin trailer for example. But yeah theres soooo much lore in these cinematics, so much more than im sure you caught. Even during gameplay when the characters talk to each other it adds so much more to the character dynamics and their individual relationships with each other. Jett has that flirtatious side she uses for Phoenix, KAY/O despite being a bit rugged and being from a Bad Future, has slowly learned to have fun with the others! Yoru is confident, maybe too much! Theres so much to see and feel, the diversity and representation, this game is just my JAM, man! So im glad you enjoyed yourself, homie ❤

raze and killjoy are the first canon couple !!! they're so perfect

I kind of wish these video compilations included some of the voice notes the devs leave in game on the training map. While they might not be visually exciting to react to they're great for giving context to some story lines and fantastic at painting a picture solely through sound effects and voice acting.

On the Die For You cinematic (25:44), the "characters" we see the others talking to aren't actually characters, they are supposed to represent people in real life. the music video was an ad for valorant Champions which is a competition that happens every year. The cinematic is showing the IRL player and the character of the game each one is playing. Thats why at the end they kind of change places with Phoenix, Sage, and Brimstone. Just wanted to clear up any confusion :)

its really great to see more people react to this game no matter how much people hate it i think its an amazing game and it deserves alot of love

I think you should've included all the agent trailers so you get to know all their names rather than just a few of them. also the spike is basically the bomb, kinda like in counterstrike

To answer your question about the skin costs : too much. a lot of individual skins cost $20-$30. The RES bundle (the one at the end that you saw)is $100. It *is* the only way they get revenue, but.... a bit too much sometimes. That being said, I do have a few skins 'cause some of them are just so cool.

That harbour agent who controls water is not from middle East he's from India, southasia cypher the hat guy who was playing chess was middle Eastern And there is also a song for harbour called I'm the raja only song valorant made specially for a particular agent coz the hype of a Indian agent was so big that they extracted everything from it 🤣🤣

I love how open minded he is Seem like a genuine nice gentleman I wish I could be as nice as him

It's 4:25 am for me right now and the fact I watched this whole video and enjoyed every single second of it, I have been the player since BETA so it was so refreshing watching u react to the old ones and it felt so natural

i sat through this full hour and im not even disapointed in rewatching these

Loved the video!!! Loved to see you getting excited and truly appreciating the videos!

love your energy man

I loved your reactions, I too almost teared up by how beautiful the animations were. Gained a new subscriber :)

Fade showed the agents their true fears, Neon not being fast enough, Cypher being watched, Chambers perfection being broken, Breach not being strong enough, Kayo failing Brimstone, Sova not hitting his target.

Actually some other skins have trailers as well. The skins in valorant are just superior but also expensive. If you want to understand the lore more, there's community videos about it explaining everything based off the cinematics, the voice lines in game as well as some recordings being added to the range every few updates to keep the lore going.

I only watched the first 6 minutes or so but I love your reactions haha, got me hyped for the lore all over again (actually lore and agent design being two of the reasons I started playing XD)

Correction on 13:06, Blur Studios is the one that makes most of the Valorant cinematics while Arcane was done by Fortiche. They look very similar because Riot Games commissioned the animations from both companies to have the Riot Games art style. And on 59:42, Raze and Killjoy are girlfriends.

“Die for you” is a first VCT song release for this game since 2021.

This video made me realize I have played valorant for 4 years and it’s felt like one year

Honestly what I started to love about valorant is the different ethnicities that are in it, diff languages and accents

29:29 no those kids weren't real characters associated to the in game characters They were the players who were playing the characters That was an advert for the Val championships so the kids were a personification of the WC players

Everything is pretty on point! Other than the guns, any agent can wield any gun. The damage also varies if you hit headshots or leg shots. There are also a few agents who's trailers were not in this video, such as omen. Thats totally fine though, there is more than enough time to watch them.

fun fact raze and sombra has the same va, also when you start a game of valorant on each map there are coordinates and if you type those cords in it brings you to the place that the map is loosely based on

When pheonix glows like that it's a timed ability where he goes back to where he started it or if he dies it activates it too

Understanding the lore of the cinematics and the game makes you even more amazed

Speaking of sub-zero, brimstone's VA is Steve Blum who also voices sub starting from mkx onwards.

Tip for the recoil: just shoot a wall and watch the pattern. then counter that. And in Val never shoot more then 3 or 4 bullets at once otherwise it gets too unpredictable. in Val you literally need 1 bullet so make a habit of trying to use just 1 and aim for a head. also if you havent watched Arcane, do yourself a favor and watch it. It will be the best show you have watched period. It has a 9.4 on IMDB for a reason and the final episode even has a 9.7

It's definitely true that Valorant is a tactical shooter like CSGO so there's a learning curve, but I think that's why there's a big passionate community behind it. It's like chess with guns. You got to outsmart players and it's so rewarding when you win and study the game. Also way less toxic than Overwatch imo because you got to coordinate as a team to win.

The way yoru rips open through the portal and kills cypher is just badass man ....well done riot on that scene

It's an inside joke for the Developers that Cypher (Hat dude playing chess) always dies in cinematics and trailers, So they had to put that end scene during the Warm Up video just to kill Cypher again.

Also none of the agents have set guns that they get to use, you buy whatever gun you need at the beginning of every round regardless of your agent. So Cypher isn't designed to be a sniper he just has that gun when he is shown.

It was so relaxing to watch those videos and cinematic.....

51:31 Neon wears the suit so she would have a better control over her ability because she's freaking powerful. So when they break her suit "that's no good for you" means that she has nothing restricting her and she can go all out

So many video games with great Cinematics XD i love this games style and as always, great reaction lol (Psst does this mean we can expect some Apex reactions 🥳)

This game looks great, and the music is cool!! So many amazing video games this world, how can we keep up? Looking foward to more content about this game!

Neon is the youngest but Gekko, Killjoy, Raze, and a few others are also pretty young.

During the die for you song those werent like close friends but the players that mained them

i discovered valorant cinematic recently, im addicted to em

Killjoy and Raze are a cannon couple, the only one in fact, glad you noticed! This is a great video!!

Yo explain for you, the music video is for their esports program, also known as the Valorant Champions Tournament (VCT). Basically they create a song for every grand final event they have yearly, also known as Champions.

i love how he never realises that the voice actor for raze is also sombra's in overwatch

You’d probably also like apex cinematics too, though there are alot

Valorant has achieved a lot though it's not that old and Riot seems to be pushing real hard to keep up the growth. Anyways, eager to see more from you.

Really quickly, in most of the cinematics that feature different characters, the sniper guy (cypher) dies, or there's a nod to the joke that he dies a lot

im pretty sure the people in the "die for you" cinematic are supposed to be fans, since they are the "champions" that play the game

damn if only you could react to the lore inside the game as well, like from the practice Shooting Range where Brimstone recieves his voicemail and also Cypher's office. The radio drama for Fade's release was soooooooooooooo good it gives me chills every time.

52:34 That's Killjoy's ult in game, it's an ability to detain enemies if they don't get out of the range of it within 10 seconds.

I just love representation in video games me being a Mexican myself there's never really much representation but I saw gekko and Reyna released and I felt really happy (it's a good feeling man)same thing with overwatch the representation is fucking crazzzyyy I love it :D

The song "die for you" is interprwtation of players in the tournament

Great reaction

29:17 - This is not a character story. This is the personification of the players and the characters they play for. It's about the harmony of characters and players. To win or play a character well, you need to understand him and enter into complete harmony with him. Agents transfer control to players, and players transfer control to agents.

Chapions 2021 vandal skin has so cool music.

So for Jett's knives, her knives are oneshot to the head. To the head they will do 150 dmg and to the body 50 (i thing it was 50 to the legs to). A player has 100 hp without an armor, 125 with a light and 150 with a heavy armor

LETS GOOOOOOOO PERFECT WATCH FOR JUST FINISHING MY FINAL EXAM 🙏🏾❤️

kayo's missions are to kill radiants, to save the world and to do really epic humor

Valorant basically : so valorant is a group of people who either worked for the “Kingdom” or got abilities from “Radianite”, and this is shown in let’s say Killjoy and Neon. Neon got her fast and lightning like abilities from radianite rather then Killjoy who builds stuff. So there are basically 2 worlds, 1 is realistic and 2nd is like a copy, except something’s not really right about it. That’s why in the 2nd animation you saw there were 2 Phoenix’s. On there 2nd earth “omega earth” has 1 map called Pearl (surrounded by this water like thing. And the main earth has all the other maps like Bind, Ascent, and other stuff. Brimstone and Viper created the whole valorant system (why they are agent 1 and 2) so there is multiple game modes (most recent being “Team Deathmatch” which is basically like deathmatch with abilities and gun upgrades each stage) so there is unrated, competitive, deathmatch, escalation, swift play, spike rush, and 2 others im prety sure we’re removed or seasonal (Replication and Snowball Fight) but each one is either 1 v all or 5 v 5. Each agent comes from a different areas of the world, like Skye is from Australia, sage from china, killjoy from Germany, etc. There are 4 American agents however, these are Viper, Omen (most likely but idk), Brimstone, and Gekko who is Latin American so idk where to put him at lmao. Icebox was removed from like games besides deathmatch. Some of the agents abilities are a little exaggerated in the animation. Like Kay/O isn’t like tracer, he can like take away abilities and we of the valorant community consider him a Toaster. Viper can’t do the whole smoke ability in retake. Speaking of retake you asked if phoenix’s 2nd weapon was a shotgun, but mostly you can play any gun, the first 2 rounds I suggest buying a ghost, to save for bigger weapons like the vandal, phantom, Odin, and more. You can’t respawn in the round you die in, if you do die on the right of your screen it shows how much damage you did to them, so tell that to your team and you should be able to help your team a lot. Basically the spike (bomb) is trying to take all the green and orange box things into it to take the radianite. Basically in “Die for you” they were doing an ad for “Valorant Champions” and those weren’t their relatives. Also chambers rich btw. He’s basically Batman but with guns. I wish you did this reaction now because there’s a lot more, and I wish you reacted to the agents and maps, like all of them. I’m pretty sure they switched animation people a while in (to blur studios) and the reason they love music is because each agent has a song and a playlist on the valorant Spotify. And characters do have ults! Sage can resurrect people, neon can finger people, you know it’s kinda cool. But you will and can rage if you die right when you ult. Raze and Killjoy are a canon ship, but there are other ships via voice lines like chamber and viper (more like chamber likes viper and viper wants chamber to die) and Jett x Phoenix which is popular because they have the most things together. Cypher has the most hate in all of the animations, there’s just slot that goes on, and I suggest just searching “Valorant lore” for the entire thing!

the character Raze has the same VA of Sombra from OW

So a overall explanation, the pov we were the cinamatics from is alpha earth and the duplicate earth is omega earth Omega earth is low on radianite supply which powers almost everything to they come to alpha earth to steal radianite, that’s what the spike does. Alpha earth of course tries to stop them Reyna(the purple lady) hates viper cuz viper did something to her sister Kayo is from another dimension where radiants (the people with powers) take over the world with Reyna as their leader which is shown in the end of his trailer, there’s a channel that’s called “Sir Jeppy” he goes into detail on valo lore if you want to learn more about it

The Paralel Earrth dosent have enought Radianite so they try to steal it from the other Earth thats how u can Play against the same Agent in the other Team

52:52 This is killjoys ultimate o basically anybody who's ionside of the area when the timer ends Get Detained meaning they cant do anything except move very slowly

they way he smacks his chair reminds me of king k rool

the musco video wasn't a backstory, it was the character and the player together~

1 hora 46 minutos completos emocionándome de nuevo con este juego maravilloso! Gracias por la reacción!

59:18 you should listen to skyes final stand !!! its actually so cool it takes place during the revelation cinematic

10:38 IS THAT FUCKING JUNKER QUEEN?!

Raze's voice actor voices a hero in OW2 and I believe her name is Sombra(?)

Love your reactions bro. Would love more Riot Games stuff overall

"I feel like people don't really talk about them..." meanwhile my bf and me who named their cats Omen and Reyna: ....

Don't know if anyone has mentioned in the comments butttt the voice actor of Raze is the same voice actor for Sombra!

You should totally check out some league cinematics

U should check all in-game weapon skin trailers or esport plays

oh i remember when skye was first release and her 3 FLASHES

BTW you don't get like roles like sniper .etc you can pick any gun u want

36:44 its a running joke that even riot has embraced that Cypher, sniper guy, always dies in riot cinematics/teasers/gameplay trailers.

You miss out that Fade Kay/o cinematic

Kayo, cant rewind time, i also thought he was like that and i was excited to play him, idk why they showed him like that

I think u are thinking of Orisa when thinking of the voice actor of astra. Both characters in ow and valorant are from a west african nation. Numbani (fictional) and Ghana. The english accents are similar.

The people u see in the music video „Die For You“ are meant to be the players playing the agents. ;)

fun fact: the girl that voices raze also voices sombra!!

the DDR video where they show the bazooka badger, the DDR, the KO street fighter. they are finishers the game. they appear when you kill the last enemy and win the round. it's not just that gun. there are other guns with finishers. but that arcade skin is just currently the most expensive one in the game right now. Also can you please do one for Apex Legends? Apex legends' Story from the outlands lore series are great. There are also cinematics.

I really love ur reaction from valorant player!!.....❤

if only kayo could rewind like tracer also for you to know ''die for you'' was a song deticated for champions of smth i forgot what tho

Raze is the same voice actresses as sombra from OVERWATCH

nice one

56:21 - as a middle eastern man, this made me chuckle. Harbor is Indian. The guy in the white clothes in the hat is the middle eastern representation in this game.

The reason you think astral the person you can put stars around is because she plays Arisa in overwatch but it’s just like a robot voice

wtf i just started valorant and i watch you alot with the genshin vids, coincidences

raze and sombra have the same voice actor btw

I would love to see you play this game and see reactions there

45:55 At riot's Brazil Studio we have a Raze in Real saze. 180cm tall

at 11:05 Him: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW can i summon that?! Can she summon that?! Brimstone: Keep quiet! Man im rolling

A whole hadouken

Fun fact raze and Sombra have the same voice actor
