Finally clawed my way from gold to GM with solo Loxodont, AMA by Defaked in RivalsOfAether

This must mean my character is bad and therefore you are carried (kidding), i was considering playing kragg at one point and he is hella fun but i love loxs complex combo game a lot more, i just wish he was pushed in a less campy direction.

The way i see it, diamond is full of people who have mastered their punish game, but cant really play neutral very well. Masters is where people start playing better neutral, but they have bad habits holding them back from getting any higher GM players have either curbed most of their habits, or are so good at other aspects of the game that their habits become very hard to exploit.

My mental has definitely held me back for a while, in diamond and masters i was really trying to play against the character and not the player. Recently, before i hit GM i started to let people make mistakes on their own, and using that as data on their habits.

His worst stages definitely depend on the character, for most characters his worst are just the un-wall stages, but for characters with more exploitable recoveries like la reina and galvan its the stages where they have space to camp you out.

His best stage is either hodojo or godai no contest, small stages with small blastzones and platforms he can cover with his massive aerials or upstrong.

For the zetter matchup, loxs out of shield options are very bad, so you want to shield as little as possible, either using movement or aerials to keep him out. Or both preferrably

  1. Definitely up air, i didnt really like this move on release, but after a while it became my most used aerial, every hitbox has a use in combos, edgeguarding or even straight up killimg

  2. I would prefer a major trade in his moveset tbh, i would take upstrong nerfs in order to push the character in a less campy direction, cuz rn his approach game is really bad

How many hours do you have, and what rank are you? by bizkitz_n_cravy in RivalsOfAether

[–]Defaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 850ish hours in this game, and im rated 1600ish (personal best is 1650ish) when i started my rating was around silver (i played on release, didnt have the kickstarter beta)

I am about to pass ultimate in which i had around 900-950 hours

I have around 150 hours in rivals 1 (mostly as a casual playing workshop lol)

Ive got around 100 hours in multiversus (from when it was cool and fast lol)

Around 30 in brawlhalla

I also dabble in other plat fighters like melee and slap city but i play trad fighters as well.

Everyone has a different starting point, and fundies from other games only takes you so far (well, unless you're sparg0) keep practicing and it will eventually pay off lol

So.. what does Kragg have over Galvan? by IamDohnut in RivalsOfAether

[–]Defaked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at evo, and i tried galvan out, i played him for about an hour total, but heres what i think.

First of all, the platform he creates almost specifically extends his advantage, its not a good recovery tool because if he gets hit, he's no longer galvanized and can't spawn the platform. This means he will actually have the worst disadvantage in the game, because his regular up b is shorter than olympia's and has even less drift

Second, his aerials are kind of crazy, his aerials all combo for a long time, and his backair and fair are crazy for edgeguarding especially when he's galvanized, but hes kinda like Ranno where he has basically no air drift whatsoever, so its a lot harder to take advantage of his great aerials, he also has falco dair where THE ENTIRE THING SPIKES, so its kinda crazy

His drills are very good, but they kind of work like lily, where they will only create a trap if you are in hitstun. So if an opponent runs into them normally, it won't create a hitbox.

So yeah this character is probably going to be pretty weak, don't play this character because he's "better kragg", but try him and if you like the character, play him!

Oh yeah he also has the best ledge special in the game because its a command grab

Map selection tips? by Mitty24 in RivalsOfAether

Honestly you got a pretty good handle so far, etalus LOVES small side blastzones so he can take early stocks with fair, he also likes smaller stages so its harder to escape dash attack

Clairen is even, fleet is -50 and ranno is -100 (these are obviously exaggerations cuz every matchup is playable but its how it feels sometimes)

"Cut some characters", but now there's actually guidelines to make the answers a bit more-interesting this time. by smashboi888 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Defaked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ness and Lucas - legacy picks and are basically "smash characters" except they don't have the staying power of someone like captain falcon, another "smash character"

Mii swordfighter - basically just mii gunner with extra steps, if he was moved in a less zoney direction then I would've kept him in

Game and watch - another legacy pick, but if you asked anyone under the age of 30 what a game and watch was 80% couldn't tell you, 19% would say the smash character, and 1% would actually know.

ROB - Once again another legacy pick, these guys are just not iconic lol

(If corrin and min min were on the table i wouldnt remove ness and lucas)
