what's the rune do?
Doomy Woomy  [author] Oct 2, 2024 @ 6:55am 
I do want to make a Shulk at some point! We'll see how quick he comes on my list.

My current project suffered some delay, but the character is almost done.
After them, I'll give Rex & Pyra a patch and get on my 3rd character which will also be from Xenoblade (as they will all be)

would be awesome to see Shulk next

alr bet🔥

I've got other plans concerning xenoblade characters for now, I got multiple requests for many of them. And I've only got 2 hands and 1 neuron lol, so I'll do my best to make as many as possible.
All I can say is eventually probably?

I could also say that my next character has a high chance to release in around a month if nothing gets in the way! So people who like them should be happy.

(rex & mythra or pyra & mythra from smash when fr)
buff jotaro and avdol ⑨ Aug 8, 2024 @ 2:03am 
this has been my main and i have been tormenting the matches with my friends even against some really strong characters like galacta knight or the 100% accurate series

also pyra and mythra🥰🥰🥰

Thank you! Thanks to you I can finally play my favorite video game character in Rivals of Aether!
I expected that with the down special we could control pyra like in the Zeke and Pandoria mod, but it's still a very good mod. Good work and thanks again.

Nice
Doomy Woomy  [author] Aug 3, 2024 @ 5:02am 
@God Damn It, whenever Nia's turn comes on my priority list, if I did a mod for her, she would be paired with Dromarch instead.
Doomy Woomy  [author] Aug 3, 2024 @ 4:58am 
Yeah I'm aware, really sorry for that inconvenience. I'm still trying to figure out why it does that.
Will patch that out as soon as I find the cause!
Yuyi/Yuunity Aug 2, 2024 @ 12:41am 
So there's a bug where online side special (anchor shot) causes the matches to Disconnect
God Damn It Jul 31, 2024 @ 6:32am 
Awesome! Rex and Nia when?
neurosis51 Jul 28, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
@Doomy Woomy RIght, I got the name wrong, and yeah JPEG's Zeke is one of my favorite workshops characters to play along side blaziken and batbat, just well thought out, balanced and strong with a high skill ceiling/expression.
Doomy Woomy  [author] Jul 28, 2024 @ 12:31pm 
To my knowkledge, Zeke and Pandoria have been made by JPEG warrior alone, not Seer. But yeah I love playing with them!
While being similar, Rex & Pyra's dynamics aren't the same as Z & P's.
neurosis51 Jul 27, 2024 @ 5:47pm 
Very cool, I look forward to trying them out. I'm sure you've tried out Seer's Zeek and pandora before so I'm curious to how this compares.
Earth Monado Jul 26, 2024 @ 4:56am 
This is awesome. I can't wait for potentially more Xenoblade characters!
BriefCasey Jul 25, 2024 @ 2:12pm 
Understandable.
Doomy Woomy  [author] Jul 25, 2024 @ 5:34am 
I agree that his skin tone could be more accurate, but to be honest I'd rather not touch the colors for now. Rivals's color alt system is powerful but extremely restrictive and I had to go through multiple hoops to have both Rex and Pyra's alts working (even then, they have very limited color separation because of those same restrictions). Definetely something that could be adjusted in the future, but changing one detail might mess all the other alts (specifically Pyra's) and thats not something I want to spend hours fixing right now
BriefCasey Jul 24, 2024 @ 7:19pm 
I think those strongs are about it. As for the possibility of Japanese lines, there should be at least be some on the Sounds resource for both XC2 and Smash.

One more thing I almost forgot: I also wonder if Rex's skin tone should be adjusted a bit, as I think it's a bit too dark for him. In XC2 itself I think he basically had a very similar, if not the same complexion as Pyra. I think he was only slightly less pale in Smash, but I think the art style of this mod should be fine to have it just about the same as Pyra's.
Doomy Woomy  [author] Jul 24, 2024 @ 5:49pm 
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I was feeling the same about his kill power. Actually nerfed a few options recently, but it's still not enough. Any offender moves in mind?
I'll likely have Upstrong, Fstrong, Bair, Upspecial and charged air nair have less knockback.

I never noticed the sound effects were low volume but that must be my settings. I'll increase the volume (that will probably arrive later since its lower priority than fixes and balance)
I'll definetely check your suggestions, didn't think about using his smash quotes. Is there a japanese version of those lines too? (planning to add the japanese voices eventually)
BriefCasey Jul 24, 2024 @ 2:25pm 
[Continued from last comment]:
- This is more of a suggestion, but if you want more sounds to potentially use for this mod or revise any existing ones, maybe you could try to use a bit more of the lines he had in Smash. For example, I think the yell he had in one of his victory poses with Pyra might work better for the Up B. Another is that you could potentially give him a chance to say "Do it, Pyra!" when you hold down b and release it. I also made a voicemod for a Rex Sora skin on Gamebanana that even has isolated grunts from cutscene audio if you wanna check it out. It might help a lot if you want to give Rex some hurt or KO sounds like other fighter mods on here do.
BriefCasey Jul 24, 2024 @ 2:24pm 
After playing, here's some constructive criticisms of my own:
- Seconding the guy before me, I kind of agree that while comboing with him feels great, it feels kind of too easy to get kills with him, though I'd probably need to test this against human players, since I was only fighting CPUs.
- I think the voice volume is a bit too low compared to other fighters with voice lines thrown in. Maybe you could use Triple Deluxe Kirby or Morshu as references for audio levels?

I've got more thing but It'll be in another comment because of the 1000 character limit
Solsenu Jul 23, 2024 @ 12:07pm 
needs nerfed too OP
Doomy Woomy  [author] Jul 22, 2024 @ 9:54pm 
Ah I thought I fixed the issue previously, I'll need to investigate deeper. If anyone ever encounters the issue again and has details on it, please notify me!
BriefCasey Jul 22, 2024 @ 5:05pm 
I seriously can't wait to try this. As someone who really wanted Rex playable in Ultimate, this looks pretty well made!
Maxx.Sev Jul 22, 2024 @ 12:02pm 
I LOVE xenoblade so seeing that you're interested in making more makes me super happy and I can't wait to see who's next

Doomy Woomy  [author] Jul 22, 2024 @ 8:39am 
Thank you for all the positive reactions so far. I really appreciate it
Nozumoki Jul 22, 2024 @ 6:08am 
Amazing Mod! I've been waiting forever for Rex and Pyra. Great job balancing their moveset!

welovehomeschool Jul 21, 2024 @ 10:34am

Agent10008 Jul 21, 2024 @ 9:02am

JackFrost777 Jul 21, 2024 @ 4:40am

Thank you so much! They have been in the oven for a year, with MANY versions and changes.
My second character is close to a fully playable beta state. I hope to make many more (from Xenoblade)!
