Rivals of Aether: Smash Pack Presentation

[@wisplock6596]

All of these characters look so damn good, I can't wait!! Gonna test out the available characters out later, and I can't wait to try out Wario and Ganon too whenever they come out, VERY nice work from everyone involved!!!

I get that it’s obviously against the theming of this direct, but it’s still funny to me that we now have *3 equally well-made Warios* on the Workshop and not a single (legit) Waluigi lol

Only time will tell

Because Wario >>> Waluigi. But jokes aside just give it time, Wario is more important and modders can get inspiration from Wario Land games while Waluigi is harder since his moveset would be mostly all made up.

3:38 okay that was perfect

[@cloraxia9727]

Around this timestamp 4:27 in a Wario Gameplay. There seems to be a fresh looking fighter Bowser, if I may ask is he one of the custom fighters who's being developed? I tried searching for him but it doesn't seem to be on a workshop list.

Hello there, Reforged (Apologies if this is rude, I am just unsure of how to address you respectively). All of these new characters look amazing, and I am so excited that this is just the first wave of the wonderful content we will be getting from you. I like how a lot of Rivals creators are using the "Direct" approach, as it gives it all such a sense of authenticity and earnest craftsmanship. I also just wanted to say that I absolutely love all of the characters you have made using the workshop, especially original characters such as Anglara (absolute fun to play, and I love that she was an official character in some tourneys), as well as your takes on already existing video game characters (Seriously, you made a lot of my friends dreams come true by making Baldi and Madeline). As such, I cannot express anything other than eternal support for all of your hard work, and I am beyond honored to be able to witness such mastery at work. If I am not too out of line to ask, and if you have some time after you are done with your current projects, could you please consider making a moveset for either Banjo Kazooie (even directly from Smash Ultimate if need-be) or Spyro the Dragon, who is one of my favorite characters of all time thanks to childhood nostalgia? I was surprised to learn that both of these characters were not available on the workshop yet, and I couldn't bare the thought that they would be left out of Rivals like this. Also, I apologize once again if this is inappropriate to ask of you, as I was not aware of if I could/needed to commission you for either request, as I am a bit unsure when it comes to asking others. And if I need to commission you, how much is your rate per character and where would I send the money (I am still kind of new to this)? If either of these characters don't interest you, could you also possibly consider Ezio from Assassin's Creed? I apologize if all of this is a lot, as I don't mean to overwhelm you at all, I just am very passionate about these characters and I figured you are probably one of the best people to do them justice! However, I am aware you have your limits, especially considering the amount of content you are working on, so I was just hoping you could keep this in the back of your mind (mostly Banjo and Spyro). Please let me know if either of them are possible to create in the future (at any time, I do not want to in ANY way force you to do this), and if you don't feel like doing them or are obviously too overwhelmed with other projects, then that is also fine. After all, you have already made some legendarily fantastic characters that I can't get enough of, so I can still have fun playing with them. Just please let me know if you could possibly consider it, so that I don't bother you with this again, as I really don't mean to be aggressive or hurtful in any way by asking this and I am unsure of how to ask. Regardless of if you consider it or not, please just know that I absolutely adore all of the content you have made for Rivals of Aether, and I hope that you keep up the outstanding work! You really are a pillar of the ROA community, it wouldn't be the same without you, and I will always be there to cheer on for everything you do in the future, as an immensely dedicated fan! :)

[@kasuheartsrivals]

Thank for your taking the time to respond in such a thought out manner! I appreciate it because im no stranger to 'request comments' but i can tell you have good intentions! On the topic of spyro and banjo or ezio i can only say that i would not trust myself to tackle these personally, i think there will someday be a dev out there who will maker a banger version of either of those! Thanks for enjoying my work so far!

[@gregoryo4417]

@@kasuheartsrivals Thank you so much for the quick and precise response. I can totally understand your decision not to tackle them, as I know it can be a lot to trust yourself or others to handle something effectively. Hell, I can't code worth anything which is why I prefer more talented people in the ROA community such as you to perfect their creation so that I can't mess them up. Regardless, I am still an amazing fan of your work, and the Ganondorf reveal has me excited, as I am interested on the differences between this one and the one from DLshadows (who I find to be a really fun interpretation), especially since yours/VVizard's version has an outline similar to Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf, so I am quite excited to see how that progresses. Out of curiosity, is the Bowser that was shown in the video also available on the workshop to try out, or is that also in production like with Wario? Once again, thank you so much for giving me the time of day and providing a solid answer to my questions, and I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors, because your characters worked in turning me into one of your biggest fans! Stay safe and strong, keep up the amazing work, and I will be there to support you as much as I can! :)

[@kasuheartsrivals]

@@gregoryo4417 youll have to wait and see about ganon! I dont have anything to do with them as the dev team for that is artistofseer and vvizard, but they will indeed use some hyrule warriors trident inspiration. The bowser is developed by Pebble and is still under development similar to Zard's Wario.

[@gregoryo4417]

@@kasuheartsrivals Alright, thanks for letting me know. Regardless, I am still excited for all of the future waves of Smash content for Rivals you are presenting with these directs. Please keep up the outstanding work, and I will be sure to support you as much as I can, this really means a lot to me! :)

[@ViviVinyaFP]

Thanks for letting my silly stage be a part of the pack! It was an honor getting to join in! I'm premiering a final trailer for the stage over on my channel airing tomorrow! I hope anyone interested can stop on by! 😊

[@MrSkerpentine]

Always glad to see your kooky Workshop creations :)

[@Geneolgia]

I can't believe there are now 3 fanmade version of Wario (PM, Remix and Rivals Smash Pack) that are more faithful to Wario Land than the official one.
