Watching this cuz I play wrastlor and I literally have no idea what my side b does
THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM
new to this series so this guide is super helpful, I still had no idea what any of maypuls shit did
W content
Clairen's shock is more hitlag or hit-pause, not hitstun
if you special pummel while having maypul stack it goes away
Rannos rapid jab can add poison stacks too!
Orcane can also summon a puddle with special pummel when there is no puddle already on screen
This is a good format for a video. Not a guide on how to actually play each character, just an explanation of "what the hell is this guy doing??"
i'm really surprised you didn't mention Orcane Hydroplaning…
Orcane's grounded up special will place a puddle if you don't have a puddle out already
Amazing explanation on what everyone does. I’ve been looking for a guide to show my friends since they aren’t familiar with the game and often can get caught of guard with a lot 😂
Hey guys! After I uploaded the video, I noticed and was informed by the comments section that there were a few details I missed when going over some of the mechanics, so in this pinned post, I'll be adding additional information as it's brought to my attention so let me know if I missed anything!
Wrastor:
-Wrastors wind stream is empowered after hitting anything, not just his opponents.
Maypul:
-If you special pummel Maypul while she has you marked, you get rid of her mark.
-Maypul can choose to tether to either the left or right of an opponent by holding the direction while feathering.
Orcane:
-Orcane's grounded up special and special pummel also puts a puddle down if one isn't already down.
Ranno:
-Rannos rapid jap and strong attacks also applies poison.
-You can get rid of Poison stacks by hitting Ranno with melee attacks. Multi-hits and jabs get rid of Poison exceptionally well due to this.
-Performing normal or special attacks will cause you to take 1% of damage for each stack of poison applied.
Wrastor's Side B also procs on Kragg's rocks
thanks
Do you actually need to mash the buttons to avoid the pummels? Doesn't simply holding the button do the trick?
Wrastor's projectile will also bounce and create a slipstream off of Ranno's bubble, I'm guessing it would work on certain other objects too but I haven't tested any
Maypul has a boost on her jump height whenever you use her up aerial on the right time, she has a shortened-reverse side B, Up B cancels on platforms, and if you hold left, right or up while you are tethering to an opponent you land on those corresponding directions.😶
Another new Rivals video, another mispronunciation of the word "Aether." (EE-thr)
Did no one notice that he has 41 levels in lox and 1 in kragg but nothing in anyone else
Hero. Super appreciated everything about this video
Great vid, but I wish you'd warn about the kragg side b switch and maypul seeding the plant to prevent parrys
Nice video! Small note, you don't have to mash B to break special pummels, you can just hold the appropriate button (as a general rule, this game tries to avoid mashing wherever possible)
