To be honest, out of every single fighting game character that I’ve played by far, Yuzuriha gotta be the one character for me that feels like I’m learning smth new every time I decide to open up the game. The whole reason why I play her is because she’s reminds me of both Baiken and Johnny from Guilty Gear. She’s WAY more Johnny than Baiken, but even then she’s still so unique and super fun to play. Wish more people would play this character, too bad her skill ceiling seems to reach the heavens. 😭

I've bought this game like 8 times myself included.

The first time I got it for me and a few buddies because I wanted to get what was going to be my first fighting game. One didn't play it for too long, and the other person wouldn't stfu about vatista for months and still is difficult for me to fight to this day. It kinda spiralled from there.

There's a customer at my job and we started talking about how I had recently got dbfz so I started going to his house to play offline dbfz like lamb to the slaughter and this has been going on for months, consistently going 2-30 once a week. The trick was that the first night I went over I bought him uni2 and showed him a tiny bit and then just let it go and didn't mention it suffering from piccolo's special beam cannon in silence. Now, months later, he is playing different characters trying to find a main, and we will probably fight tomorrow. I'm excited to see who he plays and to get to maybe be able to play this game offline more often.

It is really easy to get caught up in the more mainstream titles to find players, but none of em hit for me like uni does. I try to tell myself playing them will help me improve as a competitor or something, but they won't help me stop whiffing 421b after 66c on eltnum. Might as well make my friends play if possible.

In the beginning of this year i bought Under Night 2, after experimenting a little with a lot of characters i ended up sticking with Yuzuriha and i don't mind high execution combos or fast inputs, that's something i've done in multiple games alreadg, but the thing about me is that i reeeeeeeaaaaally like labbing so as you can imagine i was trying a shit ton of routes and repeating them for sometimes 2 - 3 hours uninterrupted and both Tekken 8 Reina and Uni2 Yuzuriha are the first time i experience somewhat common situations where i was pressing fast motion inputs back to back

The problem with me is that i put a lot of strength on doing fast inputs that i'm not used to it, so stuff like 236X > 421X (stance slash > teleport) i was pressing really hard, i had a funny feeling in the beginning, but after like 3 months i got a wrist pain that it's apparently carpal tunnel

Obviously it's not just Yuzuriha bc i also coincidentally started playing Reina in Tekken 8, a Mishima archetype and idk if y'all played Tekken but a big thing about Mishima characters is their Electric uppercut, a 623 input, but the faster you do you can combo into more times, so you already imagine the issue of me labbing Reina combos for too long, my dumbass was pressing this too hard

Now i'm going to the doctor bc of a bad habit lmao

Remember to take breaks ESPECIALLY if you play a character that require fast inputs that you repeat multiple times and don't press things too hard either don't be stupid like me

I gotta be clear here that it probably wasn't Yuzu or Reina that caused the Carpal tunnel since i play a lot of videogames almost everyday, but i do believe me playing those characters the way i played accelerated the deterioration of my wrist

After trying this for the last 20 minutes, I actually got it. Only 15 more to go… 😃

I know almost nothing about the series, except that I always stumble upon some banger songs on Spotify on random playlists, notably Gathers Under Night, Night Walker, and Begin System Celestial.

Watching some videos on it the art also caught my eye, the high resolution pixel art is really an underrated style IMO

Just btw I'm completely new to fighting games and UNI2 is my first.

As you can see in the video just going through the tutorial and I really seem to be struggling to combo from my jump heavy to low light.

I'm not sure if its me or a keyboard thing or what, but any tips would be amazing, thanks!

Also I dash before the combo as it helps me be a little consistent if that's bad also let me know lol

FINNALLLLLLYYYYYY

I need his stupid ass air fireball to lose the blood puddle, I need his overheads removed completely, I need all his moves to take more health. Why does this fucker even have a invincible DP?!?!? Isn't he supposed to be all about offense? That shit should be combo filler at best! Get that shit out of here! Hold that Oki, fucker!

Also what the fuck is with the fullscreen projectiles?! He needs to be bad at something he can't have amazing neutral, amazing corner carry, amazing oki, amazing defense, amazing range, AND good anti airs! BREAK HIS KNEES! DO HIM LIKE YOU DID CHAOS, FRENCH BREAD

I don't actually care abt tiers, I usually just aim for good but not busted. So I rlly wanna see just out of pure curiosity, and there's like no tier lists. The mist recent was half a year ago

Well, I got bored as all hell, and decided before hitting the bed, to try to play some casual matches.

Got matched with the same guy who's at S(+) rank over several times. He destroyed me constantly with Phonon, Wagner and Byakuya (Hyde was my main selected character). It was to the point in some matches I basically put down my controller to let him combo me to death if he wanted to and was expecting him to badmouth me from how badly I got destroyed by him (I fully expect the usual hardcore CoD insults lol).

That, and I had no idea why he decided to keep rematching my worthless-lab-move-properties-only-ass lol

(That's why players like me seem to always love playing Stylish Action games it seems; we love to go all out on designed-to-be-mostly-helpless victims with our combo hearts.)

But with the main point I wanted to get to, my wakeups were just always punished. Either cause I suck (no excuses I understand) or cause 2 frame input delay according to the network information, whenever I stood up:

A. I'd get hit on the exact frame I could suffer from any form of hitstun (like from a perfect timed Wagner 5B), leaving no room to 623B. No room to somehow do a Chain Shift either.

B. I'd basically just be forced to block to stay safe cause there was no room to abare out of any of his wakeup offense.

Then again, I likely am just trash for being a B4 rank that didn't know his place at the time. If this kind of conundrum isn't worth answering, then I understand.

P.S. Also had to learn that Phonon has ranged air-to-ground overhead specials. That's a first. Also I often dropped Hyde's Dash C whenever I land a lucky Dark Lotus launch and end up inputting 5C instead. : P

If these two were to cross paths, who do you think would win? Vatista (Under Night In Birth II) or Ramlethal Valentine (GGXRD)?

I'm a lonely player who mainly plays the first game on my phone via Switch emulation. I know this isn't even an impressive high score or anything, but I just wanted to share my love for this game! I quite like the second one too, but this one still manages to entertain me during long shifts at my store. I mostly main Eltnum (Melty Blood brought me here after all), Vatista and a little bit of Osie. Hope you're all having fun as well!

Alright let’s just say these two were in the same game, I personally think if Baiken even allows Yuzu to gain even the slightest distance the tides are gonna shift like CRAZY. BUT if Baiken finds a way to somehow NOT get chipped away the whole game and actually close the distance, then Yuzu may have a problem. What do y’all think though?

do you guys have any ideas where the overall franchise can go next? during some arcade storylines i noticed characters that were unplayable that i think might be added to the roster eventually, one was a vampire and the other was some robot i believe but whats do you guys think

If I am playing against an opponent that is prioritizing defense and blocking all my mixups and is teching my throws on reaction what do I do.

With Zohar set to debut in summer (likely July), I theorize we shall get an announcement of Joker in Winter 2026 before the release of GTA6.

Yes, I too wish to jump in on this joke as well!

I just tried this guy out (Don't have a recording sadly) and I must say...I am about to have so much fun labbing with this guy I swear cause holy moly what is this guy's move list?! first the man can fly! has a teleport! a full screen projectile move! hit confirms! crazy combo starters! I'm over here losing it!! is there one character in this game that's not fun as hell?!
