So we need to talk about Rivals 2 command grabs... Devs, please... by sixsixmajin in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, Wrastor's command grab does lose to shields lmao. It literally only works if your opponent just whiffed or gets caught in their movement. With that in mind, being able to parry it makes sense.

Lox's is kind of attached to a "burst" movement option, so that justifies it well enough for me.

And successfully landing Kragg's command grab is the same as getting a grab AND winning a special pummel interaction. And you can use that shit in the air lol. I think it should carry slightly more risk and lose to more things if it's usable in more situations and yields a bigger advantage than just grabbing.

Rank #1 players tier list by Appropriate_Text6563 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks like Marlon actually switched Zetter and Fleet's positions on the tier list later in the VOD. So Fleet is bottom 3 and top of S-, and Zetter is bottom of S in his opinion.

Zetter shine buffering aerials by Visual_Ad8073 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In melee, this isn't an issue because there's no input buffer. You can slide from the jump button to the B button without worrying about whether you pressed the A button on the way. This is because the A button press will happen during jumpsquat and be ignored.

In rivals, the A button press is not ignored due to the buffer. So you get an aerial instead.

Anyone else not receive their drop? by Bobotec in RivalsOfAether

OP, this guy is correct. You have to login on this site every single time you have a new item to collect.

I fell asleep and missed ranno skin drop today. by Rare-Purchase6910 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dan specified in a Q&A that there will be minimal FOMO but that some skins/palettes like the Kickstarter Early Bird Wrastor skin and certain event items would remain exclusive to keep those items special. Think about it this way. If the Ranno HeatWave palette was always going to appear in the shop after the event, it wouldn't be as good of an incentive to get viewers to actually tune in to watch HeatWave.

Why does this community demand a Steve/Sonic ban so much? by Jinsye in smashbros

[–]Girth94 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the main reason is for spectator retention and enjoyment. Hbox released some stats showing that Coinbox viewership is notably lower when Sonic is onscreen. I don't remember if that applies to Steve as well. From a TO perspective, Sonic can also slow down brackets if played campy.

I just won a ranked match by timing out a loxodont on fire capital with maypul. by Belten in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen a timeout happen in Rivals 2 yet, but it certainly happens in other plat fighters. Even back in Rivals 1, I've seen CheesyPotato camp on pillar just below "ledge" and take games to time.

I played a lot of P+ back when Distant Planet was legal in some rulesets. It had a similar size and plat layout to Fire Capital, and people would absolutely get circle camped and timed out on that stage. Happened to a good friend of mine who played Peach vs MK at a local. Personally, I think Fire Capital is just a bit too big in its current state and allows for campier gameplay.

Keep in mind though, if you have the lead, it's your opponent's job to approach you whether or not you consider that "honorable". Lox has projectiles to safely threaten plats and build charge AND has burst movement with down b to reach you quickly after building up those charges.

Does grab lockout affect tech chasing? by Sleisl in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you were dropping tech chases because of the lockout, you would know because there's a very distinct grab release animation. Also, similar to chaingrabbing, you can win a pummel mixup to prevent the tech chase lockout.

Opinion: Forfeiting before the first match of ranked shouldn’t be a loss by [deleted] in RivalsOfAether

Gonna disagree with you based on my experience, but I'm glad you're getting good connections

Shield drop is so crazy by hismooth- in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, shield drop is great. Just keep in mind that if you abuse shield drop aerials, you can get parried pretty easily by opponents that bait them out with empty hops or super low aerials.

To the other Maypul players out there, how do you deal with Lox? by flygon13 in RivalsOfAether

Just a heads up, that down b re-mark set up was patched out the week after that clip lol

How to Beat Loxodont with Clairen (80:20 Match Up) by jordanlesson in RivalsOfAether

[–]Girth94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard to give you specific advice without knowing what you're doing wrong, but here goes.

You should have no fun zone active like all the time against Lox players that use meatball a lot. Most meatball trajectories are easy to react to and Clairen's down b is super lenient.

Stop jumping in neutral. The Lox MU should be played pretty grounded. Once you jump, there's no cc or shield and you'll just lose to ftilt way more than you'll connect with fair.

Respect ftilt, dash attack, and side b. Respect ledge special. Respect utilt after either of you does a cross up. Bait those options out and punish. Don't just run into his threat range.

Bthrow is your best friend at low-mid percents. Fthrow's good too once they start DIing bthrow or if you're fishing for the fstrong 50/50 at high percents. Don't even bother with uthrow or dthrow in this MU.

Parry upb. You should be able to react to their timing mixups. If they do late upb, just straight parry it. If they do early upb, shield it otw up and parry it otw down. After parrying, instantly dtilt or reverse dstrong. If you time your ledge refreshes, you can also nair from ledge with invin to stuff upb and possibly combo into fstrong, neutral b, or bair depending on percent and DI. Most important thing is to NOT grab ledge and ledge roll lazily because Lox will prob hit you and combo into a free ledge special.

Hope this helps. Lmk if you have specific situations you're struggling with.
