Surprise! Toma, the Hardlight Grappler has entered
#RivalsofAether
Workshop!
After 3 years of making content, it was about time for me to make a grappler that had everything that I wanted.
This was a long and amazing project, with artwork and animation done by
@PK_King544
Despite our better judgement,
@AmberLearner
and I made a new Rivals Workshop character, and this time we set up a Premiere for it.
IT STARTS IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
Surely there's nothing else to it, right...?
I had someone tell me that they'd "trust the Melee players more" when it comes to opinions on this game.
No shade at Leffen in particular but I'm mid as hell and I can hitfall things consistently.
Take in the opinions of multiple people from multiple games please.
What's that? Not enough Rivals 2 Doubles content? I can fix that for you.
@StudiosofAether
was kind enough to let us play the Kickstarter build for a stream.
Go watch
@SSBM_Arty
,
@Shadowhawke
,
@KoF_Chief
, and I do some cool doubles stuff.
Also I'm disappointed in the people out here saying the Rivals devs literally hate you.
The Rivals devs pull such herculean efforts for this game and have been doing it for years. I don't wanna hear it from ya'll.
They slipped up with this, but you guys need to chill.
Side note, this is an older clip and Leffen may have figured it out eventually and changed opinions. Clips like this can definitely be taken out of context.
The default joystick sensitivity in the demo also made it hard to hitfall which is possibly a factor.

Workshop! It's 2am and
@AmberLearner
and I are dropping a new character!
Arizona from
#themsfightinherds
joins the fight! Use her lasso and punishing normals to put the pressure on your opponents!
Fellas, I didn't want to start an argument or hate on Leffen. It was just a bit of venting and a reminder to listen to opinions from multiple people.
Do not deify Top Players or Content Creators. Their experiences and opinions can be just as narrow as anyone else's.
Remember when I promised people a Workshop bracket forever ago? So did I, so I'm hosting one with commentary by
@SpaceT0astC2C
and myself!
AND we have a $300 prize pool!

Think you're the best SK?
This Friday, I will take on all challengers in Bo3 SK only sets. I will donate $5 if I win, $10 if I lose.
You can choose to match that and I will double it.
Everyone can enter once, and I will go until there are NO CHALLENGERS LEFT

Here it is! I went over each and every one on stream, gave my thoughts and tried to look at them as I feel the Rivals 2 devs would.
The list is in order of how likely I feel they would be to be a finalist in the Rivals 2 Workshop Contest.
TONIGHT at 7PM EST I'll be going over the Rivals 2 Workshop Contest entries.
I'll be giving my honest thoughts and placing them sequentially in a list that may or may not have tiers

I understand why the devs made the decision. I respect they want to show off the contest characters in the best light possible.
I fully accept that I might be wrong, but here's what I think about this whole thing.
1/?
Workshop contest/GX:
This was a contest meant to highlight the community in general, and 1 event focused on the frankly very impressive amount of submissions will be a well deserved spotlight to the people that put out the effort to make entire characters from scratch.
Well hey look at that! We finally have a BIG DIG ENERGY shirt design and a merch store to buy it from!
It comes in the original SK colors and the Infamous colors!

Every now and then I'll watch a random video essay and get jump scared by Rivals music.
Like I'll watch something about Pokemon Stadium Rentals and BOOM Rivals Tetherball music.
@darainbowcuddle
You average rivals match is about 3 minutes (being generous) and let's assume it takes you a minute to find a new one. 15 matches an hour. According to him it takes 2k hours.
Not only did this man not get out of bronze, I like to imagine he also managed to lose 30,000 matches.
Genesis 9 is just around the corner!

Workshop Blueprints event is back for it's third event with Workshop 3Prints this weekend on the 30th and 1st at 3PM ET! I hope to see you there! What are you most excited to see?
@Booketsss
I think people just like to listen to ideas and opinions from their own insular communities. Just so happens the Melee community is very large.
When this year started, I had a goal: double my YT sub count. To go from 1500 to 3000.
Now that I'm well past that, I'm looking to triple that to 4500.
And then do it again next year.
Going live on Twitch to work on a NEW

Workshop Character! Arizona from Them's Fightin' Herds! Come on by. You can drop some advice or maybe learn something!
@AmberLearner
did both the sprites and moveset design for this one.
Rattle Me Bones for
#RivalsofAether
update:
You can choose from 3 voice packs for the character. Rattle Me Bones, Captain Carcasse, and Grayfruit
(You can also play with no voices)
Been building my GBA/GC collection slowly over the past 3 years and I'm super proud of it so far.
Only missing a few I want for the GC, and I need labels printed for some of my GBA games
What's something small you do not like about Smash Ultimate that has NOTHING to do with character balance or anything that actually matters, like how ugly Shulk's face is or how weird Toon Link's hit sounds are

This is painful to watch. There's only a limited number of Gameboy Colors out there man.
The table looks cool, but definitely could've achieved the same results with aftermarket shells.
I love the dev team for this game. And they love the community right back. Don't ever let any other person tell you otherwise.
But this is a big misstep and a failure to read the room. It happens. I'll still go and play. Someone has to bring La Reina to the stage.
People have told me that I'm hard to approach or seem scary.
Idk man, I spend a lot of time in a General VC in my Discord just playing games and talking with people. I like to think I'm not terrifying on first impressions lmao
