Description
Meet my subpar-at-best OC Bi, with a design and moveset that I may or may not have improvised!

I also may or may not have almost finished them, gave up on the specials, uploaded them anyways, waited 4 months, took them down, finished the specials and reuploaded them after the fact!

(it's 100% done, I promise)

This character's """gimmick""" is Clairen hitstun except it's used even moreso to set up combos/confirms/etc.

Noteworthy moves:

Bair: Hold the attack button (NOT the c-stick) to activate the second part of this move and turn it from a probably-OP move to an incredibly flashy one in the form of the b a i r s p i k e

Uair: Like Falco lasers, but up!

Dair: An odd scissor kick that, if hit directly in the middle, stuns for so long you can go make a nice cup of hot chocolate, binge watch every episode of Spongebob Squarepants back-to-back, come back and then fully charge an Fsmash.

Utilt/Ftilt: Both of these moves are literal pokes, but they also have potent tippers that don't stun but do good knockback. A person more skilled than I am can probably use these to great effect, especially combined with wavedashing and other stun moves.

Dtilt: Hits strongly a set distance away, though it's fairly predictable. Use this to destroy Zetterburns who are stuck using Uspecial at the ledge or something

Fsmash: Did you know that if Clairen's tipper effect hits again on the same stunned target, it cancels itself out? Oh by the way this has pretty long stun too

Usmash: Has the same stun that Fsmash does, but I managed to use a Maypul grabbing effect to confirm the multihits into the finisher and I'm too proud of that to not mention it here.

Nspecial: It's PK Flash with PK Freeze's trajectory and can't be controlled! Send out a projectile with Nspecial that detonates upon hitting a solid platform or pressing Nspecial again, and causes good stun.

Fspecial: A command grab that, if landed, halts both victor and victim in place and can be thrown in one of 4 directions, each with its own animation. The Dthrow specifically gives a nice upwards boost (totally what I had intended, and not what I stumbled across and liked while trying to debug it)

Grounded Dspecial: This move has 2 variations, depending on if you're aerial or not. The grounded version makes you sink into the ground and become invulnerable until (checks attack_update) 2 seconds have passed or pressing Special again, upon which you burst out of the ground as a giant spike!

Aerial Dspecial: You become a droplet of "something" and, after a short hop, dive through the air in a semi-controllable, hitbox-clad descent that ends in a somewhat powerful finisher!

Uspecial: Nothing special here, think Zetterburn Uspecial except it only goes up and has a finisher at the end of it. By far the most satisfying move to land in my opinion.

Compatible with TCO for... interesting results!


My gratitude goes out to the folks in the Rivals of Aether discord modding channels, as well as the Extended Workshop discord and every workshop character and creator who's code I studied to be able to finish this up.

@trcwolf I'm surprised someone actually cares about this li'l old project of mine after so long, it's something I made on a whim as a first attempt at coding, and while it's not perfect I'm fairly proud of it. I'm glad at least someone out there has enjoyed this character :)

Also very impressive for when it was made

I wish this wasn't underrated. I got this since day one.

improvises

I'd think of it as Kirby that turns into 0/02/Void/whatever sometimes and it's kind of a duality?

tell me its lore
TANK  [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 6:48pm 
@laynetheawesome I believe so. I based Bi's normal coloring off Kirby and the reverse coloring off 02 from also Kirby, though admittedly I didn't think much of it while making the sprites.
