Chesspiece Trailer - Rivals of Aether Steam Workshop

steamcommunity...
What? Chess in Rivals!?
Play as a playable chesspiece in Rivals of Aether! Perform a bunch of chess-based moves utilising different chess pieces for attacks!

[@RuberCuber]

People are asking for the music, its actually the background music from the template custom rivals stage made by the developers, The Sandbox. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2096282516

[@spencerelliottspencere1792]

*RuberCuber,* Do The “World of Light” Song next!!!!

[@ev3rst0rm]

the fact that the chesspiece is as complicated as chess itself is genius, i will never be able to play this character effectively tho lmao

[@andrewle4989]

You could just do the simple method of spamming two knight side specials

[@mrpizzacat8273]

Your pixel art animations have gotten so smooth that you should be able to find a place at an indie game studio.

[@3-Gs]

if the knight is gonna take a L, you're gonna take a L with him.

[@TheIrrelevantYT]

And not only is it thematically unique as always, there is a completely unique gameplay element as well. Nice job.

[@packwarden]

That moment when you realize that you've been bested by a sentient chess piece

[@shawnburke-hutchinson5901]

Checkmate, my dear opponent. Checkmate.

[@eggmar7232]

You implemented the castle technique!

[@JoiH_Squigs]

Chess is already confusing enough as it is, why do you have to bring the 4th dimension into this?

[@turretboi]

Just wait until you hear about 5d chess on steam.

[@mega-ri7fj]

The funny part its that rhymed just to describe how painfull it is.

[@RunawayWindmill]

Strictly one of the best characters on the workshop. The amount of love and care put into this project is astounding

[@forkgodsdescendant2503]

I don’t know how the hell the creators were able to make a real time platform fighter game, play at the same level of strategical positioning as chess. Making it FEEL like both chess, and rivals at the same time. They must have some massive brain power.

[@BottlesTheBadguy]

stuff like this makes me come back to rivals of aether.

[@MegaDude10]

I never thought I would see a Chess Piece work so well in Sma- Rivals of Aether.

[@landimizer]

A chess piece has no right being this badass.

[@werh227]

I love this. Not only did you implement such a cool mechanic but you also added such personality to the various moves. You implementented castling as a move! I love that! I'm guessing the default piece is a pawn, meaning it had the ability to change into the other pieces!!!

[@rva3f1]

I remember when a chess piece was a playable character and beat animals and characters from other worlds and furry oc’s.

[@uriplayz8713]

I love the references with this character, I don’t own Rivals but this is genuinely what’s made me consider it

[@kerbethegodkiller2914]

I love the rivals if aether workshop, they can make a chesspiece into a high skill character

[@BurntToast487]

i dont get what im looking at but i still like it

[@soldierstride554]

Those tower defense moves are beyond chess pieces. Their movement based attacks are really creative and thematic though!

[@ToonNick]

Such a creative character design and great animations! I subbed originally for the speedrunner link, I'm staying because you can make anything look good!

[@bobstayoffthegrass8772]

Smash fans scream blue in the face you can’t possibly make a moveset for Waluigi when this exists

[@Luna_paradox]

Now this...this is power...this is perfection

[@lilthxlivey6662]

But he got C4, watch out

[@aaronking2020]

🚪 There's the door.

[@lilthxlivey6662]

@@aaronking2020 Bruh Im sorry, do kick me out

[@reilly5005]

Uair ladder into checkmate is a true combo

[@spacecowboy2109]

Checkmate

[@ze_glitchy_gamer7629]

Oh. My. Christ. This is what I would call an "excellent move."

[@Mioumi]

It obviously always has been my dream to play chess in RoA!! How did you know??

[@麻烦的黑泥]

Nintendo needs you

[@marcellonicodemus]

[@binarypench]

[@jmhguy]

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2092141255

[@silvershift5505]

i cant tell if you know there is actually a mod that adds a playable water bottle

[@binarypench]

@@silvershift5505 wait what

[@binarypench]

@@silvershift5505 oh my god they actually did it

[@isaac.h6918]

I’m sorry but THEY INCORPORATED CASTELING!?!?! HOLY SHIT!!!

[@Db3rtz_37]

POV You lost for a checkmate in rival of aether:

[@bloodred9312]

I love how creative you got with this! The amount of detailing is amazing to!

[@gas9360]

What the fuc I just see?? *I LOVE IT*

[@absolutepotato1364]

Damn this is the perfect instance of sleep or pick

[@ninjawolfy1510]

Ruber, you should make a video explaining how to make a character.

[@zombieguy4444]

Have you ever thought about making tutorials? I’ve been wanting to make a rivals character but I’m having difficulty with the instructions

[@todd3143]

OMG YOU MAKE CASTLING AN ATTACK MOVE

[@eggploont277]

best workshop character in my opinion to this day

[@holidayoreoreal]

Yo where are my Pawn mains at

[@Gabito3DX]

i love chesspiece i love you thank you so much

[@Hope4NewDay1]

Did I just watch perfection?

[@twotimesj6478]

I know I should be freaking out at the absolute talent and love put into this character That’s it. It’s amazing (Also what’s the song)

[@Hnui03]

As someone who loves Character changing and placement gimmicks along with Galaxy Brain plays. Along with dumb character concept like Water Bottle, this is fucking gold and probably my new main.

[@cafesumeragi]

It would be nice to have non-staunton standard chess pieces as skins

[@Luna19912]

Still my favorite workshop character

[@Amsel_616]

Wait....this isn't Queen's Gambit....

[@HypercatZ]

So this is like Checkmate from Ultimate Muscle, but more abstract.

[@rondomcommenta]

0:58 nice is the rockey move,i don't know how to spell well hehe

[@clown_person_guy]

it’s the castle move

[@isleep396]

Very Epic

[@ThatTugboat]

I can’t believe they added Queen Aonani from Galacturn into Furry smash bros.

[@spidersae2wswd54]

[@torterratortellini6641]

[@spb1179]

[@JaceGarrdok]

[@fuzzyboi431]

Please teach me you ways of great characters creation

[@DanYami]

[@elemangell2981]

If you have the Final Smash Buddy, yes.

[@metareaper8008]

Somebody please do a move set showcase I'm so confused

[@bifchastskeleton5282]

[@enderjed2523]

The music is quite fitting, did you make it yourself?

[@cronical246]

So I guess Clairen won the match

[@yamatoex]

Shotgun King?

[@JARGUN145]

Why does the bishop have homing rocket properties

[@jmhguy]
