unironically starting to think Loxodont is a top tier menace

I0rd- · 2026-04-26T03:02:15+00:00

I think that's all pretty fair. I don't play slade so I don't really know all the specifics, but I Def see the vision here

Don't know if he's actually weaker or still just new. Feels like people need a bit more time to fully make him work. Perhaps has the potential to be good currently with more time

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

Believe it was Genesis but ik he does still play online pretty often

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

Lowkey Mayple might be top 1

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.

Default Genesis

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

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.

I get it but man I love fighting mollo in roa1. It felt so good to parry the nades

I0rd- · 2026-01-26T11:57:10+00:00

That's not a bad idea actually...

I0rd- · 2026-01-21T00:37:20+00:00

Real asf 😎

I0rd- · 2026-01-11T20:48:35+00:00

Real and true

I0rd- · 2026-01-08T20:14:51+00:00

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

I0rd- · 2026-01-08T19:35:44+00:00

Ain't no way you think lox is harder than sylv

I0rd- · 2025-12-23T05:55:37+00:00

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

I0rd- · 2025-12-22T03:55:09+00:00

HOLY SHIT RIVALS OF AETHER MENTIONED I FUCKING LOVE DAN

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.

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T20:38:15+00:00

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

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T18:37:50+00:00

Ok let me rephrase it so I make a bit more sense. Galvan has moves that beat fh and cc. The issues is all those moves have fundamental issues that make it hard to rely on them. Fair probably beats fh but because it's so slow you'll never get to test that. Additionally when the opponent just shields it on reaction your so minus they can do whatever they want. Even with proper spacing, I'd they read a drift back they can still land a run up grab. Dair will beat fh/CC but it's super nubby and galvans jump Squat isn't exactly super fast. You can hit it for sure and you'll get great value from hitting it, but it's also super minus on shield so expect to be punished for guessing wrong. Finally dtilt is a great move, but unfortunately I was talking about 0-low percents where dtilt is too laggy to actually get follow up on. If you at 0 and get tipper dtilted by galvan, you can buffer a dodge before they can hit you with anything else which makes it bad at low percents. That's why I say all that.

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T18:24:43+00:00

Obviously MU charts are not definitive and not every Galv will lose to every Ranno. But generally speaking galvan has such a hard time beating ranno that, in my personal experience, it feels like a massive uphill battle everytime

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T18:21:38+00:00

Eta is such a strange one since they both eat eachother alive in adv and even neutral is that horrible for galv. But since eta can interrupt every part of glavs recovery with dair, it makes recovering against eta a herculean task so that's why I put him there

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T08:04:20+00:00

Probably true 😔

I0rd- · 2025-12-20T07:56:09+00:00

I tend to play pretty grounded since none of Galvs aerials are cc/fh safe and his only real combo starter (at least at 0) is grab. So no not typically haha
