So he cooked.
I wasn't expecting a full on documentary about FB's history tracing it all the way back to Watanabe. I feel like Kamone's PR presence is too strong that everyone forgets about bossman Narita. Excellent work. Always did want to cover the UNI's concept and prototype stage ideas. Just as a side note: Rinne/Linne just flat out means reincarnation. It's the Japanese translation of the buddhist concept of Samsara. Chemeti is pronounced Shumeti, if Phonon's own pronunciation is to be believed. I miss mob boss Hilda's design SO much. UNICLR was even less than what you described, it had no story addition. It was JUST Lond's arcade mode.
flashiest modern fighting game btw

And we love and live for that. Live love Uni
Under night In-birth is basically far cousin of tsukihime/melty blood and fate series
the intro is fucking insane, brought out the potential in the song that the game doesnt bring out, truly epic
Had to pause the video because I needed to glaze Raito in the comments. This. Man. Is. So. GOOD. He put his heart and soul in the Under Night OST man. I found out about Uni1 while looking up random games on psnow, literally months before bbtag got announced so you can imagine my excitement when I saw Hyde show up when I was really just there for Yu Narukami + Ruby Rose since I wasn’t familiar with Blazblue. I’m really glad you made this video I’m hoping this series continues for a long time and floods the main stream. I’m really hoping for an anime or manga because the potential this series has is insane if handled correctly
Truly one of the game studios

French bread my beloved. Consostently creating my favourite fighting games. Wish melty TL had a comeback after rough launch.
“Long Live The Night” That sounds so raw to me. Anyway my fave French Bread is Under Sheets In Bed. But seriously, it’s Uniclr. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with Uni through BBTag of all things and made me check out all their supers and trying to guess who would be put into BBTag. After a few years for my birthday, a friend of mine, who is just a small streamer, gifted me an nintendo eshop code enough for uni2 and a month of NSO (I only have the switch as my main console as of this moment) and would make Uni my most fave fighting game that I like to play casually and spend some time in the lab. Uni has made a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to play Uni2 once I get it. Once again, Long Live The Night
3:38 that transition was godlike
And then the DLC got announced and Uzuki, Ogre, and Izumi are confirmed to be in the roster in that order.

I was wondering about Uzuki, she was part of the script at one point before I cut it down. She was voted to be the next character to be added to UNI2 but I guess some people mattered more to the story.
Hour long under-night video essay!??! MY Nigga 👏🏾
amazing video, i was already an Under Night super fan since before EVO 2019 but this video gave me an even bigger love for Under Night and everyone involved. thank you
The French Bread culture in one video, amazing.
Great work! Love the in depth history of French Bread and some insight into the lore of the game. How they grew from just a couple dudes making doujin games to a full (albeit still small) studio with a super dedicated following is really inspiring. And that we're finally in the rollback era with UNI I really hope the game grows even bigger!
french bread's story is really inspiring! it almost makes me wanna make a game of my own... 😵💫
Awesome video there. Not many talk about the history of French Bread and they need more fans than what they do right now.
Sent this vid to all my French Bread bros. Good vid, very thorough. Keep up the great work!

9:30 School Days was developed by 0verflow, not âge. Drill Milky Punch is a Muv-Luv fangame, with a couple characters from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, both made by âge
I would gladly have added an extra half hour of watching this to also have gotten more of the history of Melty and how it influenced French Bread and Melty.
20:07 "Hyde should look more like a protagonist" Said the maker of RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE???

Got an hour to kill before UNI2's release, perfect time to watch this
Nice video bro. I got into uni just recently it this video came at a good time. Didn't know much about French bread's history and I learned so much.
Really appreciated hearing the history of French Bread, just started getting into Undernight recently, so your video has been extremely informative! Thanks!
I just learn from this amazing community and I'm eager to see future videos / tournaments, great video sensei 🎉
Just got into UNI with the recent release, this helped give a lot of context to the game. Great Vid!
The title made me think of the Arcana Heart series. Under Night was been a main stage game at Evo, I think that disqualifies the series as being an underdog. I do like a lot of the under night characters and mechanics tho. Still waiting for Ryougi Shiki in the new melty blood.
THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION
This is a really great watch. Amazing job!
Thank you so much for spotlighting this little series' history with so much love and care. I remember finding exe:late before it released and finally being so excited about a new modern fighter, it reinvigorated my love for the genre, and it's now definitively up there as my favorite fighting game series with some of the greats like Marvel 3 and Melee. I genuinely think it belongs in the echelon of Third Strike in terms of its absolutely beautiful sprite-work and fantastic gameplay mechanics.
Thank you for bringing up the lore in this video, i desperately search a specific video about it and still couldn’t find one Im subscribing for the efforts hope to see more videos about uni in the future
as someome who really loves key vns and passion project games like efz and air flight, it was awesome to see it accurately covered in unis history, ty scrap very edutaining video
Thank you for the excellent video man. A lot of research and editing must have went into this. I had a ton of fun learning about DFC by the way, game looks hilarious.
shoutout to you for making an amazing hour long retrospective
That original story is fire! Great video, learned a lot.
Great video. Thanks for your work.
This is some good content here. Might just make an iceberg for this series to show my appreciation and respect for the series
this was a brilliant video thank you!
I've been a massive Type Moon fan for years and only over the pandemic got into fighting games. I fell in love with Melty Blood and have been super hyped for UNI2. This was a great video to understand just how special the UNI franchise is and a perfect way to spend the work day before UNI2 comes out officially
One of my absolute favourite gaming moments was finding a used copy of Under Night In-birth: Exe Late and picking it up on impulse. Knew nothing about it was just spell bound. Great decision I think!
Didn't know I'd have all this info taught to me. I greatly appreciate it, sometimes the story behind the game makes it greater.
The close-up to the diamonds at around 14:02 got me like 😲

Amazing video. Working on a video of my own for UNI2 and need more insight on the series as a whole to better put my words together. I just realized you made the BBTAG video too so keep putting out bangers🫡
great video!
Hoping this video blows up
I’m so happy UNI 2 got into EVO 2024. It was by far my favorite top 6 of that year.
May this vid blow up
Long time Street Fighter player, I started playing UNI at the very end for something new, now i'm playing UNI 2 and in my humble opinon French bread make sick fighting games. People complain about modern fgs but Uni feels like the opposite to me, it feels like you are rewarded for execution and the grd system is so good. Weirdly as well, as a SF player, it doesn't feel too anime to me, yeah the characters are, i mean in the gameplay, it feels way more grounded than a lot of games. I love it. More people should play it
I just platinumed Under-Night In-Birth last week on PS5. Now I'm working platinuming Melty Blood Type Lumina.

I just bought UNI2 Sys:Celes but it's a shame that it has Day-1 problems on PC. Still, it looks awesome. This is an excellent video as well.
This video got me hyped to play Uni2.
Awesome video man. Glad to know adult swim inspired others as it did for me someone in their mid 20s
pop off dude
Undernight Zero had a STRONG story, they should have 100% struck to that
HOLY CRAP GLEAM OF FORCE MENTIONED
this vid is amazing
I can't take it. This video is so good, dat I had to pause it to copy da URL into a youtube to mp4 site. Man the quality😍😍😍🤩
Ahh yes, my favorite game, Under Night In-"Burf" 😂
Bro wtf. I would've been more invested in undernight zero.
Your voice is perfect for youtube
Between sf6 and tekken I don't see myself getting to learn uni in depth but I'll be watching the shit out of it. Loved type lumina, these guys make beautiful games, absolutely so much fun.
UNI is forever goated in my eyes. I absolutely love the games.
Interview 2 went on forever
Excellent
you didnt mention it, i only think of it because when i see this game i think of it LUL Juuni Taisen. 13 eps, assassin vs assassin battles in the tokyo night without any passersby. the game's background really make me think of that lil anime gem i let pass me by & rediscovered years later. 2010? forgot.

I don't wanna be rude, but why does Juuni Taisen sound like a 50% discount Great Value! version of Jujutsu Kaisen you'd find in the Value Tv Shows section of Walmart? Once again, not trying to raff on Juuni Taisen, but the two titles weirdly sound similar.
watching this as Uni 2 got onto the evo big stage
Jesus Christ that was amazing.

Excellent documentary on a beloved fighting game franchise. It's great to learn about the history and lore. You mispronounce a number of names, though.
RBO is such a really cool and solid beat em up. I always wish something like it exists again, it's too cool and has a lot of things games nowday lack
RBO fans, where you at? It blew my mind as a kid when I learned Frenchbread made UNI back in the day. Gotta love Raito's music.
I have to play part 2. I loved the first game
Fun fact, air flight is a clone of Flicky on the Sega Genesis
Hey hey. ASCII = “Ask-EE.” ASCII is the original “font” language, a computing character set.
I half expected you to hate since Under Night was in BBTAG and we all know you'd do a airstrike on Arc System Works for making that game.

2 reasons 1. It was cool, 2. Because everyone was after the game day one. Arc put DBFZ DLC on the same day, BlazBlue players where shitting on the game because it wasn't Blazblue, people hated the game for having auto combos and dp button, the dev cycle for the game was screwed up, there was so many guns pointed at BBTAG's head when all it wanted was to live peacefully. I believe I covered it all in the video.

Here I was just thinking there's not enough new video content on this game
Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code was the first fighting game I got into, playing it by myself. Before then I had only played SF2 for around an hour. But UnderNight was the first game that taught me how to play fighting games. It brought me my first FGC friend and widened my vision to all the other great games out there. I'm really hopefully for the sequel and I want to say thank you for the video!
Nice video (what is the name of the song at the beginning of the final section?)

"The End of Reincarnation" it's the opening song to UNI 2
"I don't know, I don't think ASCII is THAT big, right?" *Sees Kirito in the background* "Mmmm, my own words are delicious."
as someone who got into the fgc in like 2021-22ish its crazy to me that uni didnt come out in like 2019 or 2020
So like genuine question, why do all later updates drop the B in the acronym. Like UNIB only refers to like the one version, then all subsequent ones drop the b. why is that?
@ScrappySensei
6 ай бұрын
Good question, basically the acronyms were all community created. Uni started being the short hand for the whole series, giving the the first version of UNI had no added words to the title, to create less confusion people started calling it UNIB. Plus UNIST and UNICLR sounds better than UNIBST and UNIBCLR.
