That's all for me. So proud of this thing and the people who made it. 8 great years of my life. I got to design Ekko! And lead the champs team! Dreamy.
Devastating goodbyes all around. But I want this game to go hard for the FGC, and for those who remain. YOU CAN DO IT 2XKO.
Awwww ❤️ senpai noticed me

Dispatch from fighting game land: 2XKO is out in Closed Beta today, which means for some people it exists forever, and for everyone else it will exist forever soon, and I simply cannot believe it.
I love this game, I am very grateful I got to spend a good chunk of my life making it.
Congrats on the announce!! ❤️

Okay, 2XKO calling, we've got a Vi, we've got a global Beta on PC that is on from Sep 9 and there on out, we've got an EVO booth, we've got extremely earnest intent to deliver you an extremely sick fighting game

Heh thanks! Great video.

An absolute honor-and-hoot to guest on one of my favoritest sources of game design wisdom there is

Aww thanks Joi!
Okay I want to but today would be a very busy day 😅
Man, games hit different when you get to play them with people who aren't making them. I had SO much fun playing ranked duos in 2XKO today. Can't wait til we get the rest of the world in there.
