Some quirks/guides:
- FSpecial is a full super-armor, but always travels a set distance in same speed.
- Dash-attack startup has a shield cancel, so you don't have to commit to dash-attack if you throw it out accidentally, or you could use it to bait out something.
- Lightning always travels full distance in 8 frames, no matter how far. All thanks to sprite scaling! It, however, has a range limit.
- All aerials can interact with the acid-raincloud. When an aerial hits, it will "charge" the raincloud with electricity(?).
- Forward Tilt and Up Strong can also hit the raincloud as well, but it won't charge the cloud, only influencing its location.
- Raincloud's charge will be full with two hits.
- Once full, hit the raincloud with an aerial again (excluding Neutral Air) to launch the raincloud in the general direction the aerial would launch opponents, while the raincloud starts summoning a lightning by itself! Catch the opponent off-guard!
- Up Strong can 'detonate' the cloud as well.
- When using Down Special, depending on the level of the charge, cloud can cast up the lightning quicker.

KNOWN ISSUES:
- cloud seem to drift a bit after being interacted. cause of issue unknown and idk how i'd fix it

Would it be okay to create a custom color palette for personal use?

thanks for the feedback!
unfortunately its not on me. the base game tends to break the alt color stuff from time to time, and oftentimes it's not even consistent between players. rebooting the game might change something? who knows??
sorry for not being much help but not much i can do on my side

I cant play as color 8, 10, or above. only 1-7 & 9 show up. how can i fix this or is it just a mod issue?
IronYacker Oct 18, 2022 @ 2:54pm 
sounds feasible
hyuponia  [author] Oct 16, 2022 @ 9:20pm 
i understand the concern. iirc i tried to make parrying it a "FAKE parry", where you dont actually get invincibility from it. if that's not happening right now, an update to the game might have broken it.
IronYacker Oct 16, 2022 @ 2:23pm 
I can't help but feel like her nspecial is more of a hindrance than a help. It's nifty in concept, but really only acts as like, a fountain of youth of I-frames for the opponent. I never even use it because the second I put it down, the opponent just immediately parries it. Maybe it should be like zetterburn's dspecial, where it can't be parried? Or at least it can be parried to deactivate it, but it doesn't just give the opponent basically free invincibility? Pretty much the only time I ever find myself using it is for dspecial edgeguarding.

no problem! sorry it did that! you worked so hard and i love the character!
hyuponia  [author] Sep 12, 2022 @ 9:14pm 
its been a thousand years since i last checked AR, does it break the game now? thanks for the reminder to check!

Down special breaks the game
ExtraRanch Jul 17, 2022 @ 12:43am 
can we make his upair spike stronger. it would be sick
hyuponia  [author] Sep 23, 2021 @ 4:28pm 
either is fine, it's vague anyway

i've never heard anyone talk about uspecial before... that is quite new
