I suppose I should vote for Shantae in the ballot before it ends...

I played a bit of Flash 2, but Crusade's new build is probably going to click with me more than Flash did.

Granted, Rivals of Aether will probably see more play from me than either of those two.

Crusade is alright (District Court is probably my favorite neutral stage in any game, fan or official; it's my most popular custom remake in 4, for one thing.), but the graphics are just too They Just Didn't Care for my tastes.

At least SSF2 is trying to steadily make things consistent. (Steadily. That's why Wario and Sonic haven't gotten resprites yet. Resprites take a long time.)

Rivals of Aether, to me, just... proves why Sakurai was right about his reason for ditching Dragon King: The Fighting Game. It just doesn't work with unrecognizable characters. Music's good, though; I plugged the music into my Project M build.note

I dunno, I'm really liking Rivals of Aether.

It also means that the smash formula isn't sacred, and will allow for more I Ps to develop the formula and enhance it.

[up][up]While I'm perfectly happy with more platformer-fighter hybrids showing up, I still think Smash is always gonna be the king, if only because, well, look at who we can play as in it.

I sure said that!

I'm excited to see where Rivals of Aether goes, because so far, I think it's a lot more solid of a fighting game than Smash ever has been. In general, and I've only played a little so take this with a grain of salt, the characters are made with a more intelligent design. All of the special moves work with each other and revolve around a solid theme, for the most part, and allow more interactions in fights besides your basic "attack, shield, dodge, or grab." I think Sakurai could learn a lot from what it introduces, but ultimately, I definitely prefer Smash 4 over it.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

I'm excited as well, and I get where you're coming from about Smash. Most of its issues comes from the fact that it wasn't originally meant to be a competitive fighting game.

Smash Flash 2 is the only SSB fangame I've played.

I wish I could play Project M but I can't get it onto an SD Card due to my computer lacking a slot for that.

Right now, my Smash Flash 2 favs are Goku, Ichigo, and Tails.

I'm going to borrow some family member's devices to give more votes to Magolor and Plasm Wraith before the ballot ends.

[up]x4: I don't know, they feel kind of thrown together to me. Like the bird is a mishmash of Meta Knight, Captain Falcon, and Falco, Orcane is just Super Smash Land's Vaporeon repurposednote ...

And the removal of blocking in favor of "dodge only" feels more than a bit awkward.

Honestly, for fifteen bucks, I feel kind of ripped off.

I really want to be good with Robin but man transitioning from him to Greninja is super awkward because Greninja moves at the speed of light compared to Robin.

Huh. I hadn't heard of Rivals Of Aether before. It looks pretty cool, except the character names are groanworthy, and it could use more characters.

To be fair, everyone moves at the speed of light next to Robin.

Well no. Ganondorf certainly doesn't.

Anyway I also found out holding a direction on the d-pad (that isn't down) when you win a match determines what victory pose your character will do.

I'm forever going to do the "Aw, did I win?" pose with Peach now.

Am I just imagining Bowser's speed increase as being an overly strong buff?

Bowser's run speed is not that much, he still attacks and reacts at a slow pace.

It probably feels that way because, compared to his Melee/Brawl/PM self, he's practically Sonic.

I missed driving Bowser, so I'm glad that he still drives while Giga.

There's a lot of Mario-tier runners. Like, exactly Mario tier- I think Mr. Game & Watch, Bowser, DK, Duck Hunt and R.O.B. are all exactly as fast as Mario.

I think part of why Robin's my least favorite FE character in Smash is because they're, in the words of Sonic, tooooo slooooow.

Though they do have some overall powerful moves.
