I think Desperado might be my favorite character for the rivals 2 contest (if its not for that then i think its still a really good and cool oc character

all jokes aside i love this character lol

ladder combos........

ok hes got some insane combo game a cool mechanic and a cool taunt this is peak

Genuinely one of the most fun OC characters I’ve ever played

gerudo valley, raccoon city, and Red

Can you post a list of the stages from the preview images?

Overall, he's a blast and a half to play and watch; and he's definitely gonna be a regular pick of mine.

Now, my standard question:
Do you have a headcanon voice for our outlaw here; and if so, what is it?
Personally, I've been imagining a similar voice to Ed Bosco's voice as Striker in a YouTube adult's animated series, Helluva Boss; but with an added echo to make his voice more haunting.

As for his design:

As I stated: it's relatively simple; but by no means bad. He has this weird "fan favorite villain" energy to him that I really like. The way he's handled and animated really stress his spectral influence; and give him a presence that's both haunting and intimidating. His skins don't only all look great; but they have such cool names along with them, which is so unimportant; yet so fulfilling for some reason. I love that he can put I wanted sign of his opponent; and blow it to bits any time he wants. A silent demonstration that he couldn't care about you if he tried. He exudes a relentless determination and general disapproval of everyone around him; and I love it.

Here to leave my thoughts on this character in a (probably) too in depth way:

I can't be sure why; but I had sort of low expectation for this guy. I don't know if it was the relatively simple design or what; but I wasn't expecting much from him. So, that was incorrect.

very

incorrect.

After playing against a bunch of CPUs and finding out all the crazy stuff this cowboy can rope his targets into, I started having, what we call in the industry, a "rootin', tootin' good time!"
This guy has some some seriously fun and satisfying combos that I can't get enough of; and his ammo system adds a layer of strategy and opportunism that I really wasn't expecting. Not to mention his general unpredictability, as he can suddenly change up his game & get you tangled up in a juggle you didn't know could happen.

It actually burns the sign whenever the opponent dies, if its up- but if you use taunt after hitting someone with a killing blow, itll immediately burn it up.

i just found out that when you taunt after killing an opponent, it crosses out and burns the sign

Desperado is the winner in my heart!

I know I’m a bit late to say this, but this mod is amazing! This character is a blast to play, and everything feels well balanced (which is very important to me because I like to have relatively balanced characters on my roster, so no instant win go brrrrrr character)! Desperado is definitely one of my workshop mains as the combos feel so nice to pull off and the glass cannon play style has always been a favorite of mine. I really hopes this gets into RoA 2!

thanks

actually it's a pretty good design.

oops ur right ill fix it in the morning, in the meantime u should be able to check in game though via playtest room

is the v1.26 change notes meant to be blank? cause that seems like a mistake

so we got a rivals of aether version of tabi? amazing. sorry if this came out as an insult. it's unintentional.

dont worry, his head laser will gladly do that as well. seriously it s kinda op

it would be funny if there was a an alt where Desperado had an actual gun that would just kill you

JUST FOUND OUT IF YOU WIN WITH NO HEAD THE VICTORY SCREEN IS DIFFERENT

It's unfortunately a universal bug at the moment, particularly if you recently installed the character. Installing something else should fix it for now.

not sure if there's a proper place to put this bug but as of now there isn't a place to put reports.
There is a minor bug, when ever I change color palette from gameboy to the next it crashes the game. doesn't really effect game play just prevents me from seeing the other color palettes.

The tracking on the beam when you shoot the skull is a bit too good.

you can loop up special to kill someone easily. You should probably do something about that.

desperate for them girls (lets butcher his name)

despacito

I've been like, solo maining this character the past few days, he's so good, I hope he wins the contest

I was right, I love him

Listen, I know that this character has to have a cool gun mechanic when you use music from ULTRAKILL hell yeah!

this is my main now thanks

so he made a gun that was illegal and his partner shot him with it and now just shoots people as a ghost

Merasmus ahh skull

I used the cinematic flair buddy to find it

Its on the bottom of the portrait, cropped out of frame intentionally - Its not meant to be seen in game, since it would be kind of awkward and out of place, so its just a nod for people brave enough to venture into his files. Glad to know it was noticed, though!

mallow. I think his win screen is supposed to display the message "and so he left with his Pyrrhic plunder" but it won't display!

Also the autoaim laser from the head should probably do equivalent damage to the amount of bullets put into since its so easy to dodge and has a massive indicator for when its about to do that

I think it would be cooler if the wanted poster would give you like 5 or 10% dmg buff agains that target or like a cool death effect

It's okay

im not doing that sorry lol. its too much work to place on other devs and i think the current system already works well, plus theres a bunch of logistic issues with it in terms of implimentation

It would be cool if on the wanted poster was a sketch of the character's face instead of their icon and maybe you could do a compat :)

Lovely choice of music for the trailer :) Cool character !!

best character design! feels deserted and ready to kill

My favorite character to come from this contest. Well done.

cool ass character

so awesome..

honest 2 god one of the peak workshop

Desperado my beloverado

amazing
