@kawaiiempoleon Bro you haven't played it, so you don't even know that you can turn on auto-L-cancel. I think the mechanic kinda sucks, but like... it's fine it doesn't ruin the game. Crouch cancel isn't even that strong.

@kawaiiempoleon @SlashNurse Project M is the best competitive Smash game hands down, the roster is actually designed with the intent of being played by competitors, and everyone's toolkit is so fun. If you like R1, you aught to give PM a ton of thanks.

@kawaiiempoleon Rivals 1 owes a ton of stuff to PM, the first two characters were a direct copy of PM Wolf, and a character that takes a ton from PM Ivysaur. Rivals 2 being like PM is great, because PM is fucking awesome, and mixing that with R1's roster is a ton of fun.

@kawaiiempoleon @SlashNurse See melodramatic stuff like this make it hard to take R1 diehards seriously. Everyone loves PM, it was the game the unified everyone across games, and R2 is doing the same. We have Melee legends, Ult players, PM diehards, and people from R1 all playing this game. Wild.

@kawaiiempoleon @SlashNurse It does, but that community is still small, and to RoA1 to people outside that community is just "PlatFighter Mugen." Sucks but that's just how it is.

@kawaiiempoleon @SlashNurse it's almost always grabs and shield, if not that then drift DI, or some other pet mechanic that R2 didn't have that mad it a "bad sequel" for not having. R2 doing something different is cool because now we have two good games that do different things great.

@SlashNurse @kawaiiempoleon A lot of Rivals Wunners don't realize that a lot of people don't even respect the game as a game, they see it as a mod-launcher for PlatFight Mugen where they can play as Ronald McDonald. Which sucks cause R1 is sick, still R1's actual fanbase is smaller than you'd think.

@kawaiiempoleon Rivals 1 sat at around 120 average players pre workshop and sits at 240 average now. Again even if you assume every single player somehow comes to rivals 2 and there is NO dropoff due to switching the mechanics and they ALL wanna play competitive you add 240 people avg

@kawaiiempoleon @SlashNurse I've been following the series since Super Smash Land, you don't get to just claim to represent the entire R1 fan base. Shields and grabs were literally the most requested feature for the sequel, there are plenty of Rivals 1 fans who are happy with R2. I'm super happy with both

@SlashNurse not as much better as it couldve if it wasnt designed to alienate rivals 1 players and just anyone who actually liked what the first game was trying to do

@kirbyalt45 @loversmotif No, that was Ludwig's personal funds going towards that. Aether Studios didn't use their actual budget on that. That being said, I really wish Ludwig directed that money to literally any other tournament.

people keep responding to this with "wow, i don't know how i can keep supporting aether studios after this" which is absolutely insane because people not supporting aether studios is the reason there had to be layoffs in the first place

Wanted to share this here since I know a lot of the rivals community isn't on bluesky. Absolute shock. Rivals of Aether isn't Rivals without Marc Knelsen :[[[[ Insanely massive loss for the franchise 💔

@GrimmjowWas @tripplejaz I like Frontiers and all, but I'd be lying if I said that there weren't times where I'd dash over a piece of microscopic rubble and be sent flying in a random direction. We don't need to pretend the game was very polished.

@Eggnipitance Like... imagine going to a Looney Tunes movie and some random marvel actor is doing a completely different voice for Bugs Bunny. That's dumb.

@Eggnipitance They don't have to know who Martinet is to know how Mario sounds. If you asked any random stranger on the street to do the Mario voice they'd instantly do the "wahoo" or "it's-a me", which is why every foreign dub of the movie went with someone who actually sounds like Mario.

@Eggnipitance @zachwoliner @ProZD I'll never understand this argument for characters with hugely iconic voices like Mario or Goku, Mario's as he normally speaks is significantly more iconic than any holywood star.

@zachwoliner @ProZD Captain Lou Albino will always be my Mario. Martinet is the favorite. Maybe Nintendo wanted to go with Star Power so they sell tickets. Nintendo officially retired his voice and probably own the AI version of his voice. I get he's old, but it still hurts.

@kingbobstudios The Super Mario Kart was shipped with the Super FX chip, for this comparison to hold water, Mario Kart Would would need to ship with a piece of hardware on the chip that made the console run better.

I know people are mad about the $79.99 Mario Kart price. Not defending it, but I got curious and this might be what Nintendo had in mind. 🤷‍♂️ This is just quick data on ChatGPT so there’s likely an error or two

@CoralReefee I mean... the Zelda series was synonymous with quality, while Sonic was hot off the heels of 06 and Shad05. Of course Zelda got a pass.
