r/RivalsOfAether

why is everyone so toxic now?

I swear you cant go on a game where someone isn't taunting, Tbagging, or sending derogatory emotes, what happened to the community? everyone used to be so much more brotherly/sisterly and supportive of each other, now it seems like everyone hates each other and loves to watch each other fail.

Sean Velasco (Head of Yacht Club Games) talks about Mina the Hollower in Rivals of Aether II on the Kit & Krysta Podcast!

A couple details to be parsed from this:

  • This podcast was recorded sometime early August
  • The EVO announcement in late June was very last minute, nearly nothing was planned yet.
  • They are currently in the pitching and planning phase.
  • Aether Studios pitches everything about the character, including design and moves.
  • They really liked how Shovel Knight turned out in Rivals of Aether, and that was fully Aether Studio's design. The early concepts of Shovel Knight were significantly more complex (such as bringing in Shield Knight for parry, or even more chest items).
  • They have a lot of faith that the team is able to capture what makes a character so cool and unique, comparing to Sakurai's level of detail.
  • They have a couple skins planned already that are "cool", and show her in "weird ways".
  • This will be the debut of Mina's voice.

Video clip taken from @LocalLibraryCat on Twitter, though I bumped up the audio level.

Apologies for being bad

Is there a way I can apologize for wasting people’s time in online matches? I’m trying to learn but I’m just wasting people’s time by being playing against them. I just finish the game by using the “sorry!” and forfeiting most times. If you see a really awful zetterburn just know you have an easy game

I feel like people at gold are so much better than before

I used to get to plat easily not too long ago and got diamond twice when I tried, now I'm hard stuck gold, yes skill issue, but, I also feel gold players are wayyyy better than they were before, my only guess is the meta has advanced and this is just what happens when the game evolves, but damn I swear these gold players are playing like the low diamonds I used to play a couple months ago.

Gouie Is Frustrating To Pick Because of the Playerbase.

TLDR: 90% of matches the opponent is completely running away from you and it’s not fun. Going to rant.

Context: I have hit level 100 on every character except for Gouie and I float between high and low diamond depending on the character. I have experienced playing every character and understand that some are campier than others.

Gouie is slow on the ground and fast in the air which makes approaching in general tricky. That said, approaching is even harder when the opponent plays to get a single percent lead and just runs away.

Zetterburn just runs away on the ground and picks big stages using retreating hitboxes.

Wrastor spams slipstream and jumps to try to run away.

Ranno is the worst because of fast ground speed and fast projectile that makes you hurt yourself as well as a wall backair impossible to approach.

And many more.

I still win a lot of these games so this complaint isn’t even about being weak or losing. It’s just the game is so unfun when I have to chase you down for 3 min until I finally get one clean hit and edge guard you.

Idk what it is about this character but I’ve never had so many people camp me before in my life.

Also I want to be clear that I’m not camping. I’m approaching with aerials from the very beginning of the match so it is not like I’m being counter camped.

Ty for listening to my rant.

New La Reina Taunt discovered!

Was playing on lobby with some friends.

We played singles, doubles and Crews, but randomly I decided to taunt with the UP arrow for some reason and I got the Kragg taunt (maybe because I was a Kragg on first pick in crews, then it changed to single and I picked La Reina, but who knows!)

Day #555* of Posting Snake Facts Until Elliana Gets Announced

Cobrats, also named Snakes, are large desert-dwelling serpents that first appeared as enemies in Super Mario Bros. 2. In this game, they would pop out of jars or sand, similarly to the Piranha Plant, and spit bullets at the player character.

Being gone a month, I wasn't even sure if I should come back, but obviously I did haha I don't think I wanna play catch up with 30 days missed, so I hope you can forgive me from just starting from where I left off. Praying our little danger noodle is next on the list 🙏

Every single top (and a tonne of lower level) Absa dropped them for a new character or dropped the game

I feel like this should really show the devs they made a mistake with nerfing her the way they did, I for one think nerfs are fine, but nerfing a character in such a way that they are no longer fun to play causing a mass exodus of people dropping them (same thing happened to Olympia) is a serious issue with balance direction
