Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, one of the things I totally noticed once gamers got hands on time with Avatar Legends is that I am not too proud. I am not too ignorant to say I might have been wrong. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? Because you look at Avatar Legends, the fighting game from an eye test. And actually, let me pull this up to submit my point because obviously, you know, I'm still saying I'm wrong. But from that visual aspect, what we're about to get into as far as expert gameplay and Avatar Legends, the fighting game, compared to Avatar Legends, the trailer, it's just night and day. So the reason why I'm even pulling this up is because it's so night and day, right?
Starting point is 00:00:45 You look at the actual trailer, you look at the actual gameplay. I mean, it's really night and day as far as the gameplay aspect. The trailer, I think, should have more of what the avid advanced people are saying as far as far. as the intricate details of how to pull off combos. The trailer made it seem like you hear, well I guess from a visual aspect you don't even know. Simply, I'm just saying I'm wrong. It's not that hard to say. I believe my eye test was correct, but the whole time it was deceiving me. You guys, see that's the problem. So essentially, another thing I want to point out is hold on now. It's time for a rap battle. As you look at the battle between Avatar Legend,
Starting point is 00:01:30 Legends and Marvel Token. And I just came to the realization that neither of these games are coming out this year. Why in the world is the closed Alpha test happening in the same weekend? Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? If Marvel Token launches in 2026, if Avatar Legends the Fighting Game launches in 2026,
Starting point is 00:01:58 out of all the weekends leading up to your release date, why are y'all having your alpha closed test at the same time? Because of course, shout out to Marvel. They gave me the closed alpha version early. So I've been going crazy. I mean, just putting BTA on people with Spider-Man. You know what I'm saying? Not too crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Anyways, when it comes to Avatar, I have not played it. And I didn't receive a code. You know, so I don't even know how you apply for that, you know, as far as the Avatar code. I was sent the code by Marvel. So when it comes to me as a fighting game connoisseur, the eye test compared to Invincible Versus, compared to Marvel token, especially compared to 2XCO. It did not pass the I test for me. But without further ado, that is why I'm bringing up the fighting game combo showcase for all the characters to show you how intricate some of these combos are to pull off.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Because, you know, a lot of people was that game called Teen Titan Blitz. A lot of people was hilariously comparing it to this game right here. T Titans Blitz, which I love this game on mini clip. I think it was on mini clip. Let's see. Can I play it right now? I think I could play it right now. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:05 This game right here. I see this game? Teen Titans Battle Blitz. This game was phenomenal. I was going crazy with Raven on this game. I'm not going to lie to you. Now, it's not as intricate as far as when you get into Teen Titans Battle Blitz. So it being compared to this game right here, as we're about to get into,
Starting point is 00:03:22 it's hilariously mistaken as far as the quality. but from the eye test that's why a lot of people are saying they look like a mini clip premium game about a lot of people i mean me so without further ado let me just showcase why i'm wrong so first i'm gonna let the uh trailer play a little bit so y'all can see some of the gameplay right here right now maybe maybe my eyes are deceiving me but that does not look like this right here maybe i'm tripping especially this right here i don't think we we saw that at all maybe it's the overlay for me it just it just it just didn't look the same to me to me I'm not gonna lie to you like I'm open to be wrong and obviously I said via the i test I think I'm wrong but looking at this is like I think it's night and day now if they were to show this in the trailer like come on now why didn't nobody think to put this in the trailer why is it so low that's been I don't know why it's so low I got all the way up all right then this is even louder I'm my fault I don't even know why I have it full I should have a full screen I was playing the other trailer that's why I didn't have it up this is this is
Starting point is 00:05:33 pulling this off looks very um Looks very fun. I'm just trying to the same person. As somebody who doesn't watch anime, and this looks fire. Just watching experts play fighting games, I think just makes it 10 times better. That is tough. I want to, does it, does it show her special or no? I think it does right here.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I don't think that's so special, but anyways, let me see. All right, so that's basically it. But basically, I just wanted to show you all that when it comes to this game, a lot of people was dunking on him, but a lot of people, I think, me, As far as the visual eye test, I didn't think it looked as good as the other fighting games, but it doesn't have to, especially with an intricate combo system like this. I do believe at some point, we may have to have a real discussion about which game is going to come out on top as far as the best fighting game of 2026.
Starting point is 00:07:15 It does seem like 2026 may stack up to be one of the best years for fighting games ever. And Marvel's not, I mean, when the combat's not coming out, tech is not coming out street fighting. We still have such a highly competitive. fighting game landscape for the year of 2026 so i just wanted to show some of that basically if you don't know this game um avatar legend the fighting game is developed and published by gameplay group international if you don't know the studio specializes in reviving canceled or abandoned games so that's interesting but uh overall i think this is going to be interesting to see how it competes with marvel token as they put out their close alpha the exact same
Starting point is 00:08:00 month, which, not month, exact same weekend, which I think it's insane. You know, hey, I guess if you're going to acknowledge the competition, you might as well do stuff like this to be like, hey, we're competing, you know, they're definitely competing for people's time. And from the I test, especially listening to Maximilian a little bit as far as what he's been doing with the game, the combos seem a lot harder than Marvel token and Invincible Versus. Keep in mind, I play Marvel Token, I played Invincible Verses. the combos is very easy to pull off.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Now, as far as the advanced tips and things of that nature, it definitely adds another layer and it's not simple. Just press one button and win. There's a lot of defensive mechanics that you have to learn once you play the really good players on Marvel token and Invincible Versus. As far as this, it seems like from my offensive perspective is also going to be advanced.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So basically what I'm saying, Invincible versus Marvel Token. The advanced way of playing the game is learning the defensive options. offensive options to me is very simple and simplistic it seems like for avatar which once again haven't had any hands on time by seeing some of the button layouts as far as when maximilian was going through his game play loop and how he was learning the different combo systems i was just sitting there learning along with him the actual buttons for the offensive maneuvers it seems like it's going to be way harder the marvel token and invincible versus which doesn't make it the better game but does put it in a better position than it was previously
Starting point is 00:09:25 when they put out whatever this trailer was right here. So with that being said, just wanted to give Avatar Legends the Fighting Game, a Frit Shake. So with that been said, click my link, sure in my bio, let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Avatar Legends, the fighting game?
Starting point is 00:09:43 And will, or do you think that you're more inclined to pick it up now that you've seen the advanced gameplay from Fighting Game experts.
