Real reason: Cuz he's the strongest muscle!

@1:46 The letter C: "Am I a joke to you?"

"That man is strange" "I like it" Fcking killed me hahaha

Braum's super in a mirror match up: he takes the poro hits with a smile and gives more poro snacks

3:54- “They almost banged in the ruined king.” It is still one of the funniest images I had in my head when I saw this back then. The idea that the ship they were on begun to shake violently from the tentacles wrapping around the ship and poros running amok on deck (all the while you have crew members screaming, “What’s happening?!” as all this occurs). Anyway, I think we can all agree that Braum is a lovely addition to the roster.

6:50 actually, other fighting games already have that kind of funny super that has reaction faces by those who get hit by it. most recent example i can think of off the top of my head is faust in guilty gear strive, where he has a super where he drives a wheelchair into the enemy's shins and every single character has a unique reaction to it, including every single dlc character released after (since he's a launch roster character) so im not at all surprised theyre making a similar gimmick in this game too.

If Braum and Illaoi had a child, and Zangief and Marisa had a child, which one would have more muscle? Answer: Yes

Braum is the perfect addition. He has so much personality in just his posture. The best champions can tell you everything about their personality just from a single frame.

"Will every new champion have to get this specific animation for this specific ability?" Wait till you hear about Faust in Guilty Gear!

3:27 HERESY Katarina and Garen is the lore accurate pairing here Darius could be paired with either Samira or his brother Draven

OMG IT TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG TO SEE THE MUSTACHED POROS POSING, I FKKING LOVE IT.

just in time, I'm just looking for a video to watch while eating

No matter how many times I see the guy I only think of these things: Guard points, armored moves, projectiles and corner carry with that shield slide. . . this dude is gonna be nuts to lab with. Also Poro throw will be for space control.

braum is such a good design, it makes sence that he is in a fighting game. i really liked him after i heard the instalok stand behind song jajaja

waiters for riot MMO right nowsitting in the grave with silksong waiters

who I'd love to see appear in this game is Shen, paired with maybe Akali as a wise master protecting his pupil so while Akali's fighting style is more chaotic Shen can step in at the right time with his ult and take over with a more calculated strategy.

Unique super/ultimate/overdrive/instakill animation for every opponent is just a normal practice in fighting games.

"NORTH MAN! There are moves I would like to show you~"

I just noticed that the guy that made the DMC5 soundtrack is doing this game soundtrack... That's why it sounded so familiar lol

Gangplank and Thresh Duo?!?!

Braum bringing truth to: my shield is my sword.

cant say for 2xko but on other fighting games especially the guilty gear games, every character has their own unique facial animation when hit by certain special moves, like on Instant Kill moves or Faust's Bone Crushing Excitement

Every time I see them put together a new game which explores the world of Runeterra it just gets me that much more hyped for the MMO!

(Sentinel) Vayne and Poppy sounds fairly reasonable. Pairing MF and Pyke would also be interesting (they both want GP dead).

As for the unique facial animations for the poro hit, it's not unheard of, and actually somewhat tradition in fighting games to have every character have a unique animation to one character's ultimate (not diff characters, so in this case, every 2XKO character will have a reaction to braums ultimate, not like, ahri to Darius, etc). Take Guilty Gear Strive, every character, DLC included, has a unique animation when they're hit by Faust's wheelchair overdrive, same happened I'm XRD

eyo Vayne Poppy tandem might happen just because they both fought the ghosts that Hecarim brought with him to invade Demacia.

I hope artists can get their hand on the model and put it to “good use”

For darius, i wouldnt be surprised if his partner was Samira rather than katarina. If anything, they might be saving Kat for Garen

Ahri's facial animation cracked me up big time when the Poro hit her lmao 7:09

So... who's gonna be the Darius' partner? I'm gonna bet it will be Samira

It's basically what you said. Shared animations. If the body is too small or too big for the base skeleton animation, they need to make just small adjustments. It's like that for almost all fighting games. That's why modders can swap characters, make the looks of one character playing like another character, with ease.

Just great! So much hype for 2XKO 😆

I didnt even think about kayle in this game but she'd be really cool actually

I can't believe they added him before miss fortune, she better be in it on release -.-

The detailed video about braum already dropped

Interesting note as well, the composer is Casey Edwards who did the music for DMC5.

Inb4 his rocks and insects reference is either an unintentional malphite and kha'zix prediction or braum is b-rock-en and filled with bugs😂

You can pretty clearly hear a similar leit motif in Braum's LoL and 2XKO themes. The 2XKO theme just adds a few beats here and there and makes it much faster.

Next time: Riot shows a millisecond clip of something. Necrit: 100hr long video.

"Will every new champion have to get this specific animation for this specific ability?" Yes. That's fighting games, buddy.

I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME

I feel a big reason they are selecting lore paired/related characters is because it was dev-confirmed a few weeks ago unique prefight intros will be a thing. I imagine they plan to lean into some of the small touches that alot of more established fighters have moved away from (that used to be a big thing in old Street Fighter Alpha series).

Imagine necrit as anime youtuber. Man will hunt for backround character lore thats been just shown 1 second

Okay, the poro hit animation will be so awesome to check out with every champion, I'm kinda hyped now

Almost the entire Ruined King line-up.Nice!

I love that he is flexing like a bodybuilder

6:45 they are using unreal engine so as long as every future character uses the same facial "skeleton" the animations easily get retargeted so the only thing the animation team has to make is just the original first animation, pretty cool engine tech

its interesting seeing what riot fans expect vs what fighting game fans expect for this game. the makers of this game are huge fans of marvel vs capcom 3 so i epxect a bunch of characters to be inspired from that roster. i think morrgana and kayle and lux and sylas all have strong chances to get in. also so far every character thats in 2xko has been in a big time cinematic.

arc sys does unique animations for characters reacting to certain moves (ex: potempkin slam, faust wheelchair) so i dont think its a huge stretch to imagine each character reacts uniquely to it, to some extent

Its so cool to see people enjoy FG-Stuff that we as the FGC sometimes forget to appreciate. We are so used to having tracks for every stage and/or character and unique animations for supers etc. but ofc for people coming from LoL they mostly see summoners rift and hear the same bgm.

Funny how they release a more in depth break down right after this video lol

Music wise I really hope they drop a lil sting of ekkos og theme in his song. It makes me feel so nostalgic.

Ruined King was pretty damn cool so I wouldn’t mind getting the team back together. I can definitely see Pyke putting in work with harpoon catches and diving strikes.

well thats where they can redeem the ruination cinematic left on a cliffhanger and pair Vayne with Poppy

I think the obvious Demacia choice is Garen as the OG poster child and Sylas as his counterpart. Static mages are kind of hard to do outside of being obvious zoners, so I'm not keen on Lux. Also, I don't want to hear her laugh mid-match.

It's because Mother always said, "STAND BEHIND BRUAM!"

That Poro is Worthy.

8:05 "SEAmingly themed around Illaoi" I see what you did there

The music somehow reminds me a lot of Tekken, or at least starting from the 7th one. This mix of very hard guitar and hard electronic music, it fits really much. I like it.

I love how this video came out just in time for Riot to put out their own video explaining Braum's kit.

They definitely can make specific face expression for his super. The real question is if they want to.

we pray for some void rep in the near future. belveth would fit so well, as for pairings malz makes the most sense but theres a small glimmer of hope for my boy chogath

Recently, I was watching skullgirls, and all I could think about was : "Hypothetical, you get command grabbed by beowulf"

Imagine Vi is not on the roster. I assume they are waiting for Arcane season 2 to start before they announce her, but imagine

Necrit: you may be wondering why this video about a 1min video is so long TBSkyen made a 40minute reaction to that video, this is nothing

yeah, I think they will do that. Guilty gear strive has a similar animation for every character that is getting hit by super of a character called faust. Which also is a funny highlight of the character releases

Braun's gonna be a must have as a tag team. On any team.

what if ekko isn't paired up to jinx and they bring blitzcrank and vi.

Braum just gets a Dudley rose/poro throw

6:55 About the specific animations for each new champions… I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually will do that, it heavily remind me of certain characters from Guilty Gear series, when heach fighter had totally different expressions on other’s super But for some reason this shot in 2XKO sort of feels like that fighters gonna have almost identical expressions, it’s just a guess for the time being

Braum getting super armour, instant corner carry, and a great defensive assist might make him a staple just for how unique this kit is. Really looking forward to braum for countering zoning as well.

necrit, dudley's taunt from SF3 is a taunt where he throwns a rose across the map, if it hits the opponent it does 1 dmg and hiddenly empowers his next hit to deal more stun dmg iirc prob what they're referencing

With all the shadow ilse theme i hope we get samira darius like the Ruination cinematic since they said during development they cutted katarina at some point

6:38 faust in guilty gear with the wheelchair

Yeah those tracks sound like a 1 to 1 match for Mick Gordon's work on Killer Instinct 2013. Still his best work imo! Definitely excited for what they bring out next with the soundtrack! Also I'm predicting Poppy as one of the Demacia Reps!

Ionia theme F SLAPS

manifesting Pyke and Miss Fortune to be added to the game now as well

Demacia MUST have Fiora playable, she's a duelist

Close enough, welcome back Zangief

more importantly 2xKO is going to be at EVO next week lol

Those stage soundtracks are giving me Street Fighter Alpha 3 vibes

heritage for the future players getting flashbacks to pet shop when you mentioned anivia

Please more 2XKO Videos

"unless anivia became a fighter-" YOU SAY THAT LIKE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!

6:45 In Gulty Gear there is actually small animation as a react for some «finishers» for example search for guilty gear xrd badman and dr faust instant kill

"Unless Anivia became a fighter" oh no he doesn't know about pet shop

wait, were getting stage themes AND character themes??? riot music is ON FIRE

finally, the way braum is meant to play!

6:54 , yeah, in GBFV rising, there is a special move for character with unique animation for each character he does the move on theme .

Not too uncommon, games like guilty gear have some crazy specials where each character has a unique response to it

On the topic of having a specific animation for each super: Guilty Gear Strive already does that with one of Faust's super's so it doesn't seem too unreasonable.

7:02 in another popular fighting game, guilty gear strive, Faust has a super where each character has a unique face when he hits them with his super. And guilty gear has close to 20ish playable characters. So it’s possible riot will do the same.

Riot has this weird love for both Braum and Illaoi. They seem to get involved in a lot of things outside of the main games. I'm all here for it, I love both of those characters.

Braum ultimate ability is based off faust super from guilty gear. He makes every character have a unique facial expression

Cool idea!

13:20 I really want a Vi and Caitlyn tag team. I know Cait isn't exactly the most fighter-y type, but neither was Jinx before Arcane showed she's been enhanced with Shimmer. But Vi and Jayce could probably work well too. They would be the Piltover champs since Ekko and Jinx are Zaunites. I also know it wouldn't make a ton of sense, but Vi paired with Warwick would go hard af.

You should make a video of the lore inspirited moments in the ruined king. title something like "Every Interesting Moment in the Ruined King Game"

The music is fucking amazing

Another banger video🔥

@necrit btw when the Ahri got hit by the poro, this is like the Guilty Gear games for Faust ultimate, when they get hit the different charachters make different faces too.
