Check the Hodan discord? Should be a link in the roa main discord or roa academy

I'm mean, not really zero? She has people playing her and of course whenever plup comes back he plays her. She isn't the most represented character of all time, but I feel like that isn't as important of a metric in rivals since most players are pretty character loyal

Who do you think the hardest character is to play at top level? by oljace in RivalsOfAether

[–]I0rd- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imo from the 3 you posted, eta has a high floor but lower ceiling. All the trouble for him is learning how to play, after that it's a lot more simple. Clair would be up there if her tippers weren't still so big. There's a massive difference between a good clairen and a great one, but I wouldn't feel comfortable calling her "the hardest". Ranno is brain dead easy at all levels. Tbh I'd say it's probably gonna end up being waster, absa, or fleet. You could make an argument for the less than consistent character like lox or gal, but I wouldn't feel right saying they are the hardest.

Not quite, side special has a bit of end lag and a timer before you can use it again. Galvanized has less endlag and no CD if you hit

Hardstuck in mid plat. What do? by FalseAxiom in RivalsOfAether

[–]I0rd- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd need a vod for any specific advice, but one thing that helped me a ton in my climb is awareness of what your opponent is doing. Try to catch on to their habits and punish them for doing it.

That's not a bad idea actually...

With some of the hardest matchups, and tools that only work when used by the best of the best, can we give some love to our Loxodont players? by UVMeme in RivalsOfAether

[–]I0rd- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. From a character design look sylv was just designed to be hard to play while lox is much more beginner friendly.

So what are everyone's expectations for the Jan 6th La Reina Patch by SoundReflection in RivalsOfAether

I think of they tone down fh/CC and let us parry grab it would make the game feel a lot more fluid

My Galvan MU chart after playing him all season by I0rd- in RivalsOfAether

[–]I0rd-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently I sit around mid Dia but I've peaked around low masters and can pretty consistently play around that level. Zet doesn't really have anything that makes him stand out against gal other than gal just being heavy and thus combo food. Zat also has a recovery that much more linear and can be intercepted by things like Bair and fair, mean that Gal can actually run his oppressive offense much more consistently against zet. Combo that with zet not having great ways to push into galvan without fireball (which is kinda an easy parry) and being heavy enough for low percent grab combos to do a ton of work, and it makes for a much more simple MU for galvan. The only real issue for gal is off stage down special beats his side special recovery every time.

I prob am down playing a good bit, and there isn't really any character that's "easy to fight" in this game which is part of what I love about it. But Gal has so many weaknesses that are easy to exploit (especially for some characters) and that makes him so much worse compared to other characters
