Office Chair

Description
You know it, you've seen it, you may even be sitting on one right now, Office Chair, The Formal Seat, joins Rivals of Aether!

This is my very first attempt at making a mod, so don't expect anything too crazy.

Office Chair is a very slippery fighter with mostly short range, but a handful of longer-ranged attacks too.


Now, let's go over some of its moves, starting with its specials:

Neutral Special: Scrap It
This move throws a scrunched up piece of paper in an arc. It's a simple projectile which can be used to extend combos or edgeguard your opponents.


Down Special: Platform Printer
This move spawns a printer which periodically shoots sheets of paper which act as moving projectiles. Once it's shot out three sheets of paper, or if you use the move again, it will despawn and go on a cooldown.

If you despawn the printer manually, it will release its current ammo in the form of paper projectiles. You can refill the printer's ammo by hitting it with your NSpecial projectiles.


Forward Special: Get Seated
Office Chair dashes forwards, picking up whatever opponent it hits along the way, tossing them at the end. This move can be charged for extra distance. Bear in mind that in free-for-alls and team battles, this move can only grab one opponent at a time.

Also, you can use Forward Special to grab your printer to reposition it. After grabbing either a player or your printer, this move will gain a powerful melee hitbox which gets stronger the more you charge the move.


Up Special: Chair Chopper
Office Chair spins its wheels to propel itself upwards. You can move left and right during the ascent, and it also acts as a multihitting attack.


Other moves of note:

Jab:
This move is primarily a forward strike with the seat of the chair, but there's also a sourspot hitbox on the backrest.

Down Tilt:
This move is a slide 'kick' which can be jump-cancelled on hit. It also goes off platforms.

Dash Attack:
Office Chair spins its wheels in front of it for a multihitting attack. This move also goes off platforms, but unlike Down Tilt, you won't start falling until the move is over.

Neutral Air:
Office Chair spins its wheels around, which gives it a slight upwards boost when you use this move.


Special thanks to various members of the Rivals of Aether Extended Workshop Discord for helping me out with making and playtesting this character! I wouldn't have been able to get very far without them. These user include Maraslumunus, Hyuponia, Bar-Kun, Atalks, Final H-G, DarkDarkurai, frtoud, ReaverOfSouls, Pivoo, Lute, Ambi, Aperson, and ArtistOfSeer. (These are all their names on the Discord btw, idk if they go by other names elsewhere)

Also, credits to Bar-Kun's Tester, which I used to help me with the special visual attributes for some of the skins.

Yo that's a fun character. Amazing for a first try.

I have several issues with the printer move though, and I do believe they might all be fixable to a degree.
1- Description says it holds three sheets of paper, but no matter what I only see two.
2- The default position of the printer upon spawning is higher up, which makes the FSpecial interaction more clunky to work with, since you can't just easily spawn it ground level.
3- I don't see a huge strategic advantage of allowing the printer to print the paper platforms, since your opponent can use them just as well, and the delay from creating the printer to it creating the platforms allows the enemy to plan ahead.
Perhaps I'm just misinterpreting the move and the platforms are just a fun side effect as a timer and you're supposed to instead manually despawn and/or FSpec it while it's active. That'd be an interesting approach actually.

sorry that i have to do this: WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little boy called Joey, he was ten-years-old and he lived in a mental hospital because he posted a shitty copypasta onto a People Playground mod's comment section . He got so bad he went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the Feds decided that best idea was to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill him, as inhumane as possible. And he sat there in agony for hours until he died. Now every week on the day of his death he returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00 a.m. He creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by pegging you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other profiles on this one site, and he will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes nothing will happen: sorry man i am not taking the risk

you know, for a while here, I thought the workshop in general was losing it's edge. Glad to see there's still some people giving us the true RoA workshop experience we all love
