Not bad. Plays well, sprites are decent for the most part. Good job.

Awesome character, please nerf uspecial though

Really hope to see some Megaman X4 bosses as playable characters in this game, like Magma Dragoon, Frost Walrus or Slash Beast, amazing mods and keep up with the good work!

This character is so much fun and my friend and I have put in HOURS of dittos with this character. I hope the person who made this character is doing well, they made something that provided me and a friend a ton of enjoyment

Odd question but what supports does this funky fresh whale bot have?
tripull Sep 28, 2020 @ 4:09am 
i get he is in an advantage monster but he should really get an improved recovery
not by much
just to not be impossible to recover against basic edgeguarding
zero Aug 11, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
nice but could you make him as a boss fight? would be great
Leo Luster! Jun 9, 2020 @ 3:31pm 
thank you for updating this character! i love him so much.

Up special is really spammable, its either you DI in and keep getting hit or DI out and die at 70. Ice cube also needs to be nerfed as he can use it as a shield due to it not being able to be parried and it being hard to break when he is also coming at you with other attacks.

he's a pretty good character. other than the fact that he's called DUFF MCWHALEN
DoomBox Apr 25, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
awesome fighter
WingsOfVenus Apr 21, 2020 @ 5:13am 
His USpecial is really spamable with a large hit box, combined with a spike at the end. Overall is great, this is just the biggest issue I see. Would recommend adding like 3 frames or so of end lag on the land so the opponent can get their barings.

You know there are better mega man x bosses you could have picked like from 4
Jose Jalupis Mar 10, 2020 @ 8:31pm

yes

Tidal Whale more like DUFF MCWHALEN
Silver1989 Feb 3, 2020 @ 5:00pm 
I believe he's Tidal Makkoeen in Japanese. It's the name I prefer honestly because for some reason the X5 bosses are all music references instead of having the normal format that's in every other game, as if they're Stands or something lol
chainofmemories2 Jan 25, 2020 @ 4:15pm 
HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN. WHO THE HELL IS TIDAL MAKKOEEN
Leo Luster! Jan 22, 2020 @ 9:05am 
Super duper cool!
i love his waveshine :3c
hope he gets updated soon!
Ashen Two Jan 19, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
He is perfect
RedPandaPaws Dec 28, 2019 @ 3:50pm 
His Up-Special is so huge, very abusable. :steamsalty:
Succ Dec 21, 2019 @ 8:18pm 
are you in the extended workshop discord?
JustAnAcorn Dec 3, 2019 @ 4:44pm 
Stupidly fun. I love the build-a-combo gameplay, chaining uairs into fair chains into dair spikes. 11/10
Spindles Dec 1, 2019 @ 2:11am 
Excellent job with this. I never would have expected to see this fella as a fighter, but you've certainly nailed him and I'm happy to see him again outside of X5 :sfsmile:
YOSH Nov 28, 2019 @ 5:49am 
Welp I'll be having Mega Man vs. Duff McWhalen now.
KashinDolly Nov 27, 2019 @ 11:01am 
Ah alright then. Guess I'll move one of the 'has no sprites' ones back there instead.
Harbige12  [author] Nov 27, 2019 @ 11:01am 
I have a PSA:
The last workshop item you downloaded will be unselectable as of game version 1.5.9. Changing the order from the Steam Workshop menu in Extras should work. This seems to be a bug with the game.
KashinDolly Nov 27, 2019 @ 10:58am 
Thanks for that. He honestly looks really good and I'm excited to try him out
Harbige12  [author] Nov 27, 2019 @ 10:46am 
Sorry about this character being unselectable. I'm fixing this right now.
KashinDolly Nov 27, 2019 @ 10:28am 
Hey uh, for some reason I can't actually play as this character in practice mode? Like it literally just doesn't let me select him
Frogtron Nov 26, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS VERY EXCITED TO TRY OUT

And you know what? The guy's name is Duff McWhalen. When you get up to actually fighting Duff- McWhalen- it turns out that he's really fucking easy. His stage is a total piece of shit to get through, but the you have to fight Duff McWhalen. And you know what Duff McWhalen's fight is? It's really freaking easy. And his name is Duff Mc-fucking-Whalen, by the way. So once you beat Duff McWhalen, you know what you get? You know what you get? You know what you get? You get a shitty weapon. A shitty, STUPID weapon that has absolutely no effect on you. HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN. H-HIS NAME- I LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT THINKING ABOUT THIS! HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN! WHAT IS THIS? HIS NAME! IS DUFF! MCWHALEN!

Ever since the first video game, Road Rash for the Atari Jaguar was released, no one would ever think that video games would come to a point like this. This is Duff McWhalen. Duff McWhalen is a clear reference to Guns & Roses. And you know what- And you know what Guns & Roses has to do with Mega Man? Nothing. It has NOTHING to do with Mega Man. And his name is Duff McWhalen. His stage is an underwater scrolling stage, so already, you have a scrolling stage and a underwater stage. And his name is Duff McWhalen by the way. And you know- and you know what- you know what? Capcom got really lazy here. And you know what you listen to when you're in this stage? You listen to a remix of Bubble Crab, from Mega Man X2.
Shock Nov 22, 2019 @ 4:03am 
this is officially the best rivals mod ever
SleepyStein Nov 22, 2019 @ 12:47am 
Man if you made these sprites for this character I would love to see you do either X and/or Zero. I was expecting a laugh at of this one but this is a very competent character with amazing sprite work that matches the game. Fantastic job.
Flowslikepixelz Nov 21, 2019 @ 10:19pm 
This guy looks like a boss character.

...Awesome.
frig Nov 21, 2019 @ 6:56pm 
this fucking owns
Bennie Nov 21, 2019 @ 3:50pm 
I love the idea behind this!
This is so incredibly cool!
I only feel like a few of the moves lack the oomph you'd feel with such a big character.
Specifically Down air, Forward smash, and back air.
also, the time before he can use down special after using side special is very big.. maybe decrease that?
Maybe have him able to have 2 ice blocks out at once?
lastly, up special should have more stiffness maybe? (as in it goes up as soon as you press the button(like squirtle from smash))
Sackbot bbq Nov 21, 2019 @ 2:03pm 
Not a Mega Man X fan or Guns and Roses, But YES, VERY YES, THANKS FOR THIS!!! :lunar2019crylaughingpig:
