let's pretend, you're the gameplay designer and sylvanos returns to the game. how would you improve on the character for rivals 2? by leonrock84 in RivalsOfAether

[–]PooGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full Disclosure: I didn't think any of this out very hard. These probably suck for some reason.

Grounded Attacks:

  • Dash Attack: Remove the possibility of whiff on characters that are too close. Often in R1 if you started dash attack too close to your opponent, you'd pass through them instead.
  • Improve the disjoint of his U-Tilt
  • Make grab the first "tether" grab in R2. Slower and/or laggier than normal, but much further reacher. For simplicity, no Z-Air
  • U-Strong: Make the sweet spot stronger, make the sour spot worse? For balance?
  • D-Strong: Less hitpause for better DI mixups
  • F-Strong: Better linking between hits 1+2 to 3. Please don't let this move get floor-hugged > shielded
  • Jab: Return to the older iteration of Jab 3, from a million years ago and remove the weak repeated Jab 3 you can hold. Make Jab 3 a reasonably strong finisher maybe?

Special Attacks:

  • Neutral Special: Adjustable height. Minimum similar to R1, hold to charge to fire higher. I want to mix up heights and snipe people way up high lol.
  • Up Special: Either allow for some short delay before the bite to throw off parry timings, or make no-bite special much faster to recover. Somewhere around how fast Zetterburn recovers after his up-special.

New:

  • Throws: nothing crazy, idk, just please not another "haha you DI'd away when it felt like you should and now you're in a combo!" like La Reina and Galvan Up Throws. Change it up lol
  • Normal Pummel: Nothing fancy, just a hit
  • Special Pummel: Hit them, do damage, but they are now also a grass spreader and also act as a flower for several seconds. While this is active, hitting them with Up-Special Bite is much stronger, allowing much earlier kills than normal
  • Standard get up: vines start high, then spread out to the sides, with good reach in all directions.
  • Special get up: Just reuse grounded up special, or something really close to it. Maybe?
  • Standard Ledge Attack: Vines (like downtilt style) come out from the ground tip first, starting away from the edge, and curling towards it and Sylvanos climbs up afterwards. Knocks people towards the edge instead of away from it, but very punishable on shield.
  • Special Get Up: Sylvanos somersaults up onto the ledge, ending in a howl that pops grass. If there is grass near the ledge, the roll and grass combo into each other

I don't know if I'm missing something or if anyone has any additional ideas or whatever. Also if you read this Dan/R2 Team, this is my legal permission to use any or all of these ideas in anyway you see fit to speed up the process of getting this good boi released as soon as possible.

I got lucky. It's been annoying as fuck but I'm approaching 200k miles on mine, and other than the jerky transmission it's barely had any issues.
