#RIVALS OF AETHER STEAM WORKSHOP UPDATE#

They even made his neutral attack a grab to make it more like Melee (you can’t normally grab in Rivals). For example, his side special can now combo into anything, his up air does an insane amount of knockback, his down special can be spammed in the air for a long time, and in general, all his moves have no lag. Based on TerminalMontage, 100% Accurate Fox is a hilarious creation that seeks to create a character similar to Melee’s Fox while adding many traits that make him overpowered. Well, 100% Accurate Fox has got you covered. Okay, those characters were nice and dandy, but what about a character for those Melee players. I definitely wouldn’t be disappointed if this character was in Rivals of Aether. Mollo is my favorite character from the workshop.

#RIVALS OF AETHER STEAM WORKSHOP UPDATE#

Mollo’s creator continues to update this character constantly, recently adding the ability to throw bombs in the air.

He has a sparking antenna that expresses his explosive techniques and bright wings that pop out during his up special. Mollo’s moth-like shape is used greatly in his character design. The main drawback Mollo has is his lack of kill options with the only quick kill option being his uptilt. You have to be careful, however, since Mollo can get hurt by his own bombs. Mollo can use the bombs for ledge traps and setups by pushing the bomb with his other attacks. Mollo has some great aerials as well, although he is meant to be played more strategically. Instead of planting bombs, Mollo can throw an array of four different bombs with his Smash attack and detonate them with his flare gun side special. One of the most popular characters in the workshop, Mollo, is a moth that has a playstyle similar to Snake. I never thought I would ever say Obama is one of the best characters in a fighting game, but here we are. What I first thought of as a joke turned out to be a great character. Obama’s move-set is well-balanced and plays smoothly which makes him a character I would seriously consider playing with over and over again. The number of funny details in each of Obama’s attacks and animations, such as using the American flag as a weapon or having an anime-like run animation, shows that a lot of thought went into making this character both a meme and a serious character. The creator is fully aware of this character’s meme status and indulges this in the animation. For his specials, Obama has a wide array of projectiles such as a grenade, a gun, and a sniper rifle. Obama is a fast character who has quick aerials and tilts that have a decent amount of distance to them. That’s right, someone made a full-fledge Barack Obama character for Rivals of Aether, and to my surprise, he’s fun to play. Here we’ll be reviewing the best, the worst, and the funniest characters from the workshop. And, of course, there are creators that just make joke characters to give us a quick laugh. There are a few original characters that seem to fit perfectly in Rivals which shows off the creator’s knowledge in video game design. Now, most of the submissions involve other well-known characters with sprites pulled from other games. Anyone with knowledge of game design could create and put whatever character they want into Rivals.

But soon the number of submissions would grow exponentially.

At the start, the workshop only had a few characters that were promoted for the release of the workshop. Have you ever wanted a moth creature, Fox from Melee, Duane, and the former President to duke it out in Smash?! Well, guess what? It’s your lucky day! On September 18, Rivals of Aether, a Smash Bros.
