Creator of Ronald here, holy absolute hell this blew up. I'm currently working on a new original character for Rivals ATM, stay tuned!

[@LinklightToo]

Looking forward to it my dude!

[@wolvensoul9147]

Another mugen rip? Whens dark ronald lol

Make Ronald have the burger road roller

[@OwlCitttty]

Is it burger king?

[@cookieoggie5309]

Is it kfc

[@Amber_ssbm]

The problem with his falco is that he's trying to think too much instead of just spamming d-air

[@gengarcrobat1576]

Ronald making most Falcos look like McNuggets

[@littlemisseevee2309]

or spamming shines and stuff

[@jackdickson7906]

Yeah when it comes to a thinking falco it has no chance against ronald.

Instead of choose your fighter its choose your victim

[@jeom3808]

11:58 As he goes to SD in defeat you can see Ronald wave dashing around him as if knowing he has won and is just taunting him. Never have i seen such savage and innovative disrespect.

[@Idontknowwhattowrite150]

I noticed that and thought “why’s he just… letting slime go ? Normally he’d have started a 72-hit combo followed by burgers to cancel out any recoveries”

[@whirlesic]

For those who don’t know what the victory theme for Ronald is, it is Ronald McDonald Insanity

[@SomeRandomGuy-us1yb]

Ronalds of McDonalds

[@cutiefriendsadventures7129]

TheOGDerp1 Link to it please?

[@McDizzy69]

If your looking for the non McDonald's version the songs called owen was her I think

[@tangerinepaint3643]

Kinda fits as RoA Ronald is as Insane as Flandre

[@ninjaniknik6136]

Sounds like a remix of UN owen was her from Touhou

this was a journey... subscribe if you liked it, might do some more wacky vids like this soon :) edit: holy cow this video is doing well... thank you. i'm down to try other crazy bosses like this so let me know which ones are hype

You can't say you beat Ronald unless u used a none workshop character. It is possible, I did it before.

Wanna hear something even cooler? The character is a DIO reskin (not in moves, only because it uses dio's Sprite)

I want Jotaro/Dio to be in smash bros, they can have the same hitboxes and frame data but are different alts. Imagine!!!

[@the1andonlydrmixxel]

Oh yeah, and when Golden Ronald spawns, he does the signature *WRYYYYYYYYY.*

[@dbzsonic1069]

I dunno what's more funny: The fact that Ronald is that good. Or that his victory music is a "Ronald" version of U.N. Owen was her

[@Dragonboy55564]

Yes, it's a reference to the classic Ran Ran Ruu MAD.

[@MMayel26]

I think the victory theme is a reference to the famous "Ronald McDonald Insanity" meme

[@silverdededestruction2197]

To be fair most Smash Characters can't wall jump. That being said the characters in Smash that CAN wall jump don't show that they're able to. I wonder why they didn't do anything to make it obvious.

he isnt golden *he's a super saiyan that's ascended past a super saiyan*

[@jenbooob]

The last 4 ronald costumes all have this insane power. Shadow ronald, ancient ronald, silver ronald, and golden ronald. And the AI level doesnt matter. Hes a godlike force at every level

[@LinklightToo]

Do each of the costumes play differently? Everyone is saying to try Shadow Ronald, so is it better than Golden?

[@jenbooob]

@@LinklightToo they all play the same way. Ronald only has 2 AI varieties: standard which encompasses most of the costumes, and then what most people refer to as golden ronald. The last 4 costumes are what give this buff to ronald and have the altered AI to match them. Quick Edit: this could change in the future if the creator updates it at all but I doubt he'd try to mess with perfection like this.

[@AM-tm1jw]

Is funky because he sayd that golden Roland was the ultimate Ronald but then Galaxy Roland was like are you sure about that.
