The Aether Universe is a world where warring civilizations summon the power of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. And Rivals 2 is the continuation of the primary focus of the franchise - platform fighting! Rivals of Aether is known both for its competitive depth and accessible gameplay and Rivals 2 pushes both the franchise and the platform fighter genre forward.
Rivals 2 cuts no corners when it comes to gameplay! The game now features shields, ledges, grabs and throws as new additions to the series. We also feature three new special moves. The Pummel Special can be used by hitting the special button when you have an opponent grabbed. The Ledge Special can be used while hanging on the ledge and the Getup Special can be used while you’re in knockdown. Each of these specials has unique uses and expands our character movesets.
