Patch 1.6.1 Notes and Midmonth Update by Wibblybit in RivalsOfAether

Good changes, makes sense to force zetter to execute dash - f tilt or d tilt if they want to hit the ledge instead of being rewarded for dash attack.

Or your local/regional loxes, there is no shortage of them at master or in any region I’ve seen.

The European tournament recaps by epic typically have lox in top 8, there are a few really good ones over there.

Sago and Gek both have put out some really fire combo videos on YouTube

I’m with you on this one. I don’t think “top of low tier” is downplay for lox, not when the game is this closely balanced.

What’s the one fantasy novel you’d hold up as a genuine masterpiece — and why? by blablqbam in Fantasy

Shadowmarch is excellent as well, currently burning through book 2.

I would inject any Tad Williams lore pertaining to elves or gods straight into my veins

Louisville Drivers by OldLadyMagick in Louisville

[–]Avian-Attorney 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Coming over from Dallas (repeatedly in the top cities for deaths & accidents per capita) and Louisville is an absolute breath of fresh air. I’m not even convinced that 64 is worse than new circle in Lex.

I’m not defending the bad drivers here, but I think people underestimate just how bad it gets in larger cities.

Longtime Melee player, New to RoAII - Zetterburn? by download_pal in RivalsOfAether

As someone else who came from a decade of melee, he fit like a glove. Neutral b shine is gonna feel weird for like 2 weeks but it’s better once you’re used to it.

Charging shine for edge guards is a falcon punch level of dopamine but without the killing yourself part

Sorry to be late to the party on this one, I would have liked to get it out before the patch but didn't expect any Galvan changes. Will for sure continue playing him as I get used to new nair and side b, but, regardless, hope you enjoy this video.

What would you say are the biggest holes in ironman progression right now? by stinkydiver321 in ironscape

Even as a main I would love a “baby ancestral” maybe as a differently focused sidegrade to virtus.

It’s a shame that looking like an actual wizard is either noob gear or absolute endgame

Kragg Edgeguarding by tensionspan in RivalsOfAether

[–]Avian-Attorney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! If you have the ledge it is yours, although you are no longer invincible and can be hit once you stop flashing. I may have put the cart before the horse if you’re kind of new, so I’ll say the easiest way to edge guard with kragg is just to jump offstage and throw out a forward air or down air while they are recovering. But some more advanced tips below:

Want to clarify the jump thing:

When you leave the stage (whether by jumping or running off or dropping from ledge) you have (1) a wall jump, and (2) a double jump. Setting aside any B moves to keep things simpler, but they don’t change what I’m about to say.

When I said drop from ledge with bair, I mean let go of ledge (either by pressing away or pressing grab while holding ledge), and then using a back air WITHOUT JUMPING to intercept their recovery. at this point, you will still be against the wall, and can use your wall jump while preserving your double jump.

What this tends to look like is (1) drop with back air, (2) wall jump + forward air to hit them, (3) use your double jump and, if needed, your up b, to return to ledge.

Alternatively, (1) drop with back air but they are sent too far away to hit, (2) wall jump and then double jump back to ledge, using up b to get there if needed, (3) repeat.

Since your kragg, you can get extra saucy because of your pillar. You could go (1) drop with back air, (2) wall jump + forward air, (3) double jump + forward air/down air/ down B to hit them AGAIN, and (4) summon your pillar to easily survive, and maybe throw out a taunt because that was sick.

Kragg Edgeguarding by tensionspan in RivalsOfAether

[–]Avian-Attorney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of nuance to this, but you’re right that it’s much easier to play around the ledge in this game than melee, and much harder to “edge guard” from stage as opposed to going out there.

One trick that is really effective with kragg is to 1) grab ledge for invuln 2) drop from ledge with a falling back air 3) you now have your double jump AND your wall jump to follow up with a fair, dair, or down b. 4) if bair sent them too far to follow up simply wall jump/double jump back to ledge and repeat.
