SNS5 RoA - CakeAssault (Forsburn) Vs. AF | Windows (Wrastor) Rivals of Aether Loser's Finals

[@dfmh1]

Also if you’re reading this and haven’t already, GO TRY RIVALS OF AETHER!! Long time smash veteran here, and after buying the game, it’s honestly so much better than smash. Very smooth and clean, all mechanics are intended and perfected. It’s so good. You just gotta try it.

[@drgrim1066]

@@Pizzaroll1991 yes it is and its a very good game esp the community and the staff that listens to the community

[@ALPHA-SOLIDUS]

The defense system is trash tho, leads to incredibly one sided engagements.

[@raw-b6658]

@@ALPHA-SOLIDUS i think that was specifically intended, if I recall I remember hearing that the developer didn’t like defense as well as ledges much when he played smash so he decided not to add them into this or rework it. I think it adds to an overall faster game that makes you focus on movement and not getting hit but then once you get hit then yea it’s kinda over

[@A..lie..sha3]

@@ALPHA-SOLIDUS honestly the lack of shield makes neutral seem much more nuanced if you will and projectiles are a little bit worse too not too spamabile at least

[@dakota6885]

@@ALPHA-SOLIDUS it's not one sided, both players have to be careful and actually think about what they're doing

Yo, wtf is this, it looks dope.

[@RichardBlaziken]

Rivals of Aether is an indie game heavily inspired by the mechanics of Smash Bros. (Melee especially). It keeps most mechanics (smash attacks, tilts, double-jumps, character-specific gimmicks, and stage platforms), while ditching others (no ledge or shield mechanic, with parrying replacing shielding as your standing defensive option). Other indie game characters appear in this as playable fighters, with Ori (Ori and the Blind Forest) and Shovel Knight currently having representation as non-Rivals playable fighters. The game is an ongoing project, receiving frequent patches and updates. Hope you give it a try!

[@meowtumnluzz]

its $15 on steam, and its engine is completely unique but super fun, please give it a try

Randomly got this video in my recommends (must be cuz I was searching for Forsburn guides). I wish the crowd was this fun to liston to in every tournament I hear. The nerve-wracking yelping (like in 2:56) and yelling around the end of the 1st match, the cheer for both players in the 2nd round, etc... so enlivening and funny!

[@hughmungus227]

1:01 Right here, modern Forsburn gets hit with forward air then gets comboed and probably dies. But old Fors didn't lose his regular clone when the actual Forsburn gets hit, so the clone teleports into Wrastor breaking the combo. I want this back, I feel like that wasn't that broken. Bring it back for Rivals 2? 🥺

you should play it, its very different from smash games. its super fun

[@ryuken10]

As a casual and competitive fan of Smash, I rarely go back to Melee after playing Rivals. The general mechanics are MUCH more smoothed out and improved over Melee, and each character has unique mecahnics that make them fun to learn. Hot take, but Rivals is just better Melee.

"Cleanest movement". Idk about that, this feels clunkier than both Smash and Brawlhalla. Just started playing, so it could be just a matter of getting used to the differences.

[@captaineflowchapka5535]

yup but also wavedashing is super important to be smooth , like hitfall ect. but in rival is much easier to learn as ther is in game tutorial.
