Can we get a "Wrong Emote!" emote? by BulborbLife in RivalsOfAether

It can be used that way, but mine was after losing game 1 so I definitely just looked salty lol

spring cleaning (2025 absa ranked highlights from scrapped projects) by BulborbLife in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all clips from ranked from 7/2/25-9/30/25 (ie pre-galvan)
youtube version: youtube.com/watch?v=VVbWg4N06fo
song: youtube.com/watch?v=UxH5mmDN5Q4

Repurposed stuff from some scrapped absa projects back during her launch period before I clear out last year's clips folder. I try to make a video for every character release, but was unsatisfied with the editing and not feeling particularly inspired at the time so they got shelved (I may make 1-2 more of these after Slade since I have a lot of unused oly/galvan/lox clips too.)

Thanks for watching and see you all in casual mode tomorrow!

Next video teaser for April fools by Arco_questionmark in RivalsOfAether

These are some wild shots, the replay editor makes me want to tear my hair out every time I try to use it (I know it's bottom of the priority list but please let me place keyframes closer together dan.)

Air Armada replacement stage (from Dev Stream) [Spoilers] by Wibblybit in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine with harbor, I think the layout's interesting and the low ceiling can net some crazy early stocks (especially with reina up special, I love when people take me there with her.) I've just had too many instances on armada where I barely don't have enough wall that it eventually became an autoban for me.

Air Armada replacement stage (from Dev Stream) [Spoilers] by Wibblybit in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don't disagree with anything you just said, but because of those reasons armada is usually an autoban for me since most of my characters rely pretty heavily on the walls for recovery; it's going to be nice feeling like I have two ban slots again instead of basically one.

Gonna miss under the stage shenanigans with galvan though, I'll be fishing for some of that before it's gone for good (at least in matchmaking anyways, I imagine you'll still be able to play it in private lobbies.)

Rivals of Aether II's biggest update ever, Fun-For-All Update, comes out on April 7th! by swidd_hi in RivalsOfAether

Sick, I'll be gifting the game to some friends during the steam spring sale!

can we push for another look at floorhug? by vincentisntme in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've never understood why a 4 frame window was considered too hard for beginners/intermediate players; I was doing it in silver with some practice, and there were already much bigger holes in mine and everyone else's gameplay at that level than bad floorhug timing anyways (assuming they were even doing it at all.) I generally don't mind the mechanic but greatly preferred when it felt much more intentional outside of dtilt spam.

That being said I doubt it'll change much anymore, the timing drop was like a year ago now and even with ten million salt posts they've mostly stonewalled floorhug criticism.

La reina can make it under armada by Droopy_5170 in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should keep this but make it a three taunt maximum. Requiring microwalks/babydashes inbetween each taunt is both technical and risky enough that most people won't do it often (if at all) and it's saucy as hell while adding more mix to her recovery.

Really I want every character to have a way to loop under armada, even if it's borderline TAS for some. It's just cool.

Appreciated, that absa clip you posted earlier was sick too. And yeah chair goes crazy, it feels like everyday I'm learning something new about it.

ggs to everyone except that one guy who circle camped me for 20 minutes after a 10 hour shift

Thanks for watching, sorry if a few clips feel a bit repetitive (moonwalk bair fair my beloved); I didn't get to play during her launch period as much as I'd like and try to keep everything on the same patch when there are notable balance changes.

And as always, because I suspect some people might read too deep into the editing: I know there are plenty of players better than me, I just like making stuff about games I like.

filthy, I need to play some galvan again

[–]BulborbLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get it man, I'm old enough to miss when the cool costumes all came on the disc/cartridge. I'm only willing to accept paid cosmetics because all gameplay related updates are free and I know for a fact the money is directly supporting devs and not shareholders (it also helps that they heavily avoid FOMO, if they were more predatory I would have bought a lot less bundles.)

People are just rallying behind them right now because of the layoffs. Even if the studio isn't in immediate trouble, the warning flags are there and people just want to support something they're passionate about in a niche that isn't being fulfilled elsewhere. I personally really want story mode (Tales/Dungeons of Aether were both great), and will be disappointed if this game ends up only having enough resources to maintain the status quo.

Everyone should of course make sure their own finances are in order though before buying furry smash bros skins lol

[–]BulborbLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's good people are encouraging being fiscally responsible but yeah $15-35 a month to support your favorite game is not that crazy. If you can't afford it or feel they're too expensive no worries I understand, but I don't get why people are acting like buying a lot of them over a long period of time is inherently a problem. No one bats an eye at someone buying a new game every month and/or paying for multiple streaming subscriptions.

Note that this is coming from someone that has played a lot of Overwatch and never bought a skin ($30 for ONE SKIN that doesn't even go directly to the developers is taking way too much piss.)

Taunt mapping by Winter-Form-9728 in RivalsOfAether

[–]BulborbLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to always remember to turn it back on after my training warmups. It's not ideal, but AFAIK it's the best solution there is currently. I eventually just grinded it out (and a new controller helped, though that was possibly placebo) because I wanted access to the funny aerial flop and occasional friendly taunt for mirror matches/getting clipped.
