It's just determined by alt. Character has 2 sets of alts you can tab through ones with voice should just say voiced on the CSS.

You know, had this been made an original character, but with the exact same moveset and playstyle, this would have easily won the current competition. the floaty mechanic alone is such a simple, but brilliant gimmick.

This could be a water-themed character who's like a cloud elemental. It covers all the same moves. Forward strong sends out a cloud than lets out a fist or burst of static when releases. Down special is condensing their vapor body into a puddle. Neutral special is a giant water orb that leaves the opponent soaked and set up for Up special, which goes from a cloud teleport to a lightning bolt teleport. Down special is an ice wall.

It would have been the perfect character to be in Rivals 2.

As it is, I guess we'll have to settle for this masterpiece on one only.

is such language necessary?

gengar goes absolutely fuckin' bonkers

Try reinstalling the character. That issue has been reported before and usually fixes itself after a reinstall. I don't know why it happens and have never been able to recreate it.

What happened to his dash attack? I can't use it more than once every match now, it just doesn't work properly after the first use!
Dapperganker Feb 18, 2023 @ 5:16pm 
Zamn those steam rewards really made my decision towards getting this
Blue Jan 10, 2023 @ 8:40am 
Absolutely amazing character :D

Genuinely Smash quality. Incredible job. My favorite mod besides Sanic by far.
SandOfMan Dec 31, 2022 @ 8:44am 
Awesome character with fun combos! Floatiness is a fun gimmick for a ghost mon.
Goonshadow Jun 4, 2022 @ 9:09am 
very well made version of Gengar if i had to change something though is forward smash it should just be the forward punch and not the warp punch also down air causes gengar to drop immediately and while i get Gengar is a ghost type its way too floaty though it should have some level of gravity affecting it other than that it everything else is perfect.
Quomvi Apr 23, 2022 @ 7:11pm 
have you thought about adding him sprites for the pokemon coliseum map?
Gengar Garland Apr 10, 2022 @ 7:26am 
This character is so based bro pls try childe from genshin impact next
ljhood01 Feb 24, 2022 @ 7:57am 
now all we need is an Eevee who's moveset is based off their evolutions.
Or Cinderace with football-like gimmicks.
THEN THE HOLY TRINITY SHALL BE COMPLETE!!!1!!1111!!1!!!111!!1
Clone Feb 20, 2022 @ 10:27am 
last alt crashes the game. but the character is based
Arcade Buster Feb 12, 2022 @ 11:48pm 
Oh, my goodness. Talk about a fun character! Gengar's color palette is awesome! His move are awesome! His tongue is awesome! :steammocking:
Ginko Feb 7, 2022 @ 1:15pm 
I'm going to be honest, never really thought about Gengar as a fighter. But now playing this workshop I'm genuinely mad they never added them to smash. Really good job!
Rioku  [author] Feb 7, 2022 @ 9:42am 
Yeah this is an issue with the latest update to rivals. All workshop Absa style jumps aren't working at the moment. Workshop in general is very unstable right now. Hoping to see a fix come sometime soon.
vido games Feb 7, 2022 @ 12:23am 
just to let you know, it seems like the most recent update to rivals broke gravity jump on workshop characters; every time you use an aerial during a double jump, you drop like a rock now, even when holding the jump button. this happened to jirachi too--thought it was worth mentioning :( hope it's fixable!
Hollow Tim Jan 30, 2022 @ 10:44am 
Amazing
YungSpedBoy33 Jan 27, 2022 @ 11:38am 
can i use these sprites for super smash bros cmc+ please?
Iron Guts - 10 Luck Jan 16, 2022 @ 6:45am 
I really love all the work/ detail put into it. I do, however, have a problem where every time I use F-special I get "ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object sentry_handler:"
angrymonsterham  [author] Jan 8, 2022 @ 9:24am 
@h310 doing that to cpus is so fun
Yanaby Jan 7, 2022 @ 3:20pm 
my favorite combo: Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into Uair into death for your opponent
Rioku  [author] Jan 3, 2022 @ 8:41pm 
@Riolu795 It has a hitbox now when it appears but other than that it's the same. The startup animation was to tone down the projectile spam by mashing mean look > forward tilt.
Riolu795 Jan 3, 2022 @ 12:49pm 
Yo i love the new U-air and now i can drop from a plat with a F-air. Gameplay really improved now.
I just have to get used to the floatiness but thanks for these changes. Also dose mean look have a new feature? The wall appears after a second of placing it. Does it have a new propperty?
Rioku  [author] Jan 1, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
Gengar patch is out! Addressed a lot of issues people brought up be sure to check it out!
Nebbyc0re Dec 28, 2021 @ 9:16pm 
Everytime I select the red alt my game crashes and that sucks. Aside from that this is a really well done mod.
Spooper Dec 27, 2021 @ 12:14pm 
i've always wondered when someone would try that
sableye is my fav. pokemon :steamthumbsup:
Spooper Dec 27, 2021 @ 12:13pm 
yeah good idea
-Parpar- Dec 22, 2021 @ 6:42pm 
here's my idea if you want to make another pokemon to R.O.A, how about sableye?
Siz Dec 18, 2021 @ 3:44pm 
@Altagos If you mean his up air, it's only an infinite if you don't DI. The AI never DIs so it's really easy to kill them with it.
Old Man Fert Dec 17, 2021 @ 7:31pm 
i would say this is a great mod, but i learned he has an infinite and had to uninstall him from my game as 0 to deaths are banned in my games
bionichuteagain Dec 12, 2021 @ 11:57am 
genuinely one of the best rivals mods ive played
Riolu795 Dec 9, 2021 @ 6:28pm 
His b-air and up-air are hard to hit, when you hit up-air however is an amazing way to ladder the opponent to finish with a shadow claw but the position of the opponent to be in for Gengar to hit it is specific, i feel like its hit box should be more of a circle at the top of Gengar instead of an oval as I've seen on training mode, just enough to cover the top of Gengar but not the entire body. It'll feel more consistent to hit

B-air is the move that I haven't found useful. Hitting it makes it so i drift to the direction of the b-air pulling me away from the opponent, also the opponent can fall of those strings very commonly, its inconsistent. Maybe ad some grab mechanics to it to pop them above you or in front
Riolu795 Dec 9, 2021 @ 4:27pm 
I've been playing Gengar non stop for a week online and i just love the character, big pokemon fan, but i see that he has some issues:

His Dash attack as a burst option is slow and loses mostly in priority, the concept of leading into a combo is amazing but it hardly does this right if the opponent knows how to DI it. Maybe adjust the angle so it to send straight up

For a character that is meant to excel at been in the air his most useful aerial is f-air as is good for approaching with its big hit-box and for kills, n-air and d-air are good combo moves but n-air is easily DIable and d-air is kind of hard to hit but it leads to his other aerials so its good enough. Maybe ad some grab mechanics to n-air to make it more consistent?

This character is so cool! I really enjoy how stupidly floaty it is and i kinda hope it stays. I havnt gotten a chance to play many matches with it but i love floaty characters who send themselves into the air with other attacks like epinel, so this really gets my goat. the one issue i found from training mode alone is, and maybe against real opponents this is false, but holy shit you can really just spam up air and ladder someone to the top so easily. i think making it send you upwards less as you land consecutive hits or just giving up air more end lag would fix this. otherwise, really cool character, feels just like how gengar should, and also reminds me of playing as marx in kirby star allies, which is a very good thing :)

EPIC
Doctor D Dec 5, 2021 @ 3:34am 
this one is a brutal banger, love it
Siz Dec 4, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
2nd comment. I've been playing Gengar nonstop now for the past 2 days. I take it back, there's a high skill floor to the character that makes him feel awkward when you start, and it makes it seem like the moves aren't really supposed to combo into each other. But as you play there's a lot of technicality to him that's hidden away. I think all he needs is maybe a combo video so new players don't go into the game not knowing what he's really capable of. In particular, Venoshock feels very awkward until you learn that you're always capable of cancelling out of it before landing.
Alcred Dec 3, 2021 @ 10:58pm 
There seems to be a bug that makes it so shadow ball will no longer work for the rest of your stock after flinching from damage. It happens when fighting workshop characters at least, not sure about standard characters.
LunchableZ Dec 3, 2021 @ 8:53pm 
This is a well made character, but sometimes dash attack doesn't work for me and I don't know why
Bulbaquaza Dec 3, 2021 @ 12:47pm 
Great character! I have one small balance suggestion, though: it'd be nice if when you parried the green ghost f-smash, Gengar would get put into parry stun. Other than that, really well-designed and a blast to play as!
