Oh my God, I'm so dumb. It says how her name is pronounced in the description. My B. For I guy who types such long stuff, I sure skim over a lot of stuff :)

Thanks for the answer; and for making such a cool character.

@S.I.L. Thanks for reviewing the character, I am glad you enjoy her! Her name is pronounced "Solar-ray". Its sorta a pun lol on sun beams.

Quick question:

How is her name pronounced? Is Soe-LAR-ay, SOLE-er-ay, or something else?
S.I.L. Jul 11, 2024 @ 9:41am 
Overall, she's a fun and polished character that I will definitely be playing regularly. Fantastic job; and keep up the good work!

As for design direction/ execution:

You know you've made a great design when it looks good with about 73 different color palettes. This is one of those designs. Her proportioning, stature, appearance and attire all meld together to make a wise looking figure that has an oddly comforting heir. I'm honestly not sure why; but this is one of those characters that I just wanna hug. No clue why. As I mentioned, every single skin she has looks fantastic on her; and tosses me into that state of cycling through her skins for five minutes trying to decide which one is best.
All of that is accentuated by her animations, which are all smooth as butter. I particularly like her respawn platform animation, as it shows us a bit more personality than the others.

Hey all! Here to leave a lengthy review of this mod for everyone to take a look at!

I'll first go over gameplay; which as the description states, is more or less Falcon. Her tilts, strongs, and airs are all taken directly from Falcon's arsenal; but with some mild alteration. The moves feel smoother than Falcon's; and seem to have a bit less range. Much like Fal, Her normals, tilts, airs, and strongs all work together in a chaotic harmony that makes her combos simple, yet satisfying. She can do a lot more comboing on/close to the ground than some characters; and yet she has a plethora of options to chain &/or finish her combos. Needless to say, Fal's aggressive style is her forte. Also like Fal, her recovery isn't fantastic; but recovering is simply easier in Rivals in general. Overall, she's easy to pick up, fun to play; and a solid fighter.

Ohh okay, didn't played Falcon so didn't knew that was a thing on him too. Doubt cleared ty :stella_happy:

@Pirit The Ustrong not being 100% reliable is intentional, to emulate Falcon's Ustrong, which didn't always link into the second hit based on spacing. I tried to make it reliable enough without just making it a command grab.
Pirit May 3, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
I keep running into the issue that the first hit of Upstrong lands but the second one misses canceling the knockback. It may be due to DiUp getting you out of the hitbox before the second hit arrives by hitting with the border of it

@daguyz377 characters that have been made that are unlike their smash counterparts 1:1 historically get a lot of hate by people who just want the character to be the smash version. It happens a lot around here. I wanted to avoid that so I chose to do this.
daguyz377 Jan 27, 2024 @ 2:33pm 
why would people hate another falcon?
Opengunner  [author] Jan 26, 2024 @ 5:54pm 
@daguyz377, yes, the character is inspired by Falcon. Not just Falcon, but multiple parts from all of the different Falcons from the different smash games, but then also given a rivals styled gimmick. I can't put some dumb rivals gimmick or some of the changes I wanted on an actual Falcon without people hating it so I made her a separate character.

isnt that captain falco's moveset?

PRAISE THE SUN
Opengunner  [author] Jan 15, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
Yes, but I had to leave some features out to make it in time for the contest. I plan to do some revamping of win quotes for my characters in the future as well.
Pirit Jan 15, 2024 @ 4:32pm 
Is she gonna have Win Quote option like your other characters?

Very cool. Good work

I had to say, this mod's not bad. Just impressed!

Basically Falcon/Ganon but with an unexpected twist!

From what I've labbed from a bit on Solarei, her Sun Spot is actually a nice gimmick for someone not that fast that still keeps a great pressure as a rushdown

I'm not sure if DSpecial should've been Jump Cancellable that soon, but I don't see any other issues with her

Great character as always Opengunner!
Fullmetal Gamer Jan 6, 2024 @ 12:52pm 
Awesome! I hope this wins!
Opengunner  [author] Jan 6, 2024 @ 10:53am
