Commander Video

Description
From the stellar BIT.TRIP series comes CommanderVideo, RUNNING into Rivals with BEATs, VOIDs and COREs.
Change his FATE, or leave him in FLUX.

How do MODEs work, you may ask?
HYPER will allow you to access the full potential of Fspecial, turning it from a measly dash move with a second's cooldown to a full, three-hit command grab.
MEGA will give you access to a bouncing beat projectile on Nspecial in place of the first variation. It's purple and has larger knockback, as well as altering your Dash speed to be slightly faster.
SUPER will change your dash speed to be even faster at 8.5, and change your moonwalking acceleration to 1.6. You will be able to fall faster in fastfall too. You will also be able to indefinitely slide(dash attack held down) on this mode and every other higher one.
ULTRA will change your moonwalk accel to 1.69, and allow you to fall even faster when in fastfall.
EXTRA gives you a trail, and gives you the third and final form of the Nspecial projectile. A slow moving, green-flash bomb-like projectile. Both your dash speed and moonwalk accel increase by .25.
GIGA sets your dash speed to 9, and gives you TWO double jumps. You have a fast fall speed of 20 and your moonwalk accel is set to 1.8.

As you progress, your mode meter will decrease faster over time, meaning you better 'git gud' to maintain the stat boosts you want. So be warned!

Compatible with most workshop enabled characters as is:
- Otto
- Trummel/Alto(2)
- The Chosen One
- Abyss Hime
- Feri
- Abyss Runes
- Hikaru
- Kirby
- Agent N
- Steve
- Soulbound Conflict
- Mt. DeDeDe
- Rat
- Daroach
- Dracula
- Amber
- Muno Phone


This fighter's been a long time coming. Seven months in the making, and for a first attempt with learning things, this came out pretty well! I intend for this to be a love letter to an indie series that quickly became one of my favourites.

@SIMΩMEGA:

Back when I built CV I didn't exactly know what I was doing all too much for that; but you're supposed to tap B repeatedly after the paddle swings out. I should have made that clearer in retrospect, lmao.

Since RERUNNER's recently released(very good game), I might come back to this character for another minor visual/gameplay overhaul. God knows his Dspecial needs a serious reevaluation, Nspecial aside.

I don't get it, how is the firing from N-B supposed to work? Sometimes it fires, sometimes it doesn't, it's inconsistent, regardless if I spam B, time it or not lol. Any explanation on how to make it work? But regardless great character man.

this is so fucking cool, any Bit.Trip content is nice to see nowadays.

not that easy to find BIT.TRIP fans out there nowadays. Wanna make this comment section the remains of community here?

yo, the final smash buddy has mod support. are you gonna give CV one, too? :core:

Good fun to play as, lots of representation of the entire BIT.TRIP series, my only complaints are that there is a lot of audio spam if you are stuck between two modes, and that his taunt is not the annoying dance from the first cutscene of Void. Good work!

Very excited on the upcoming update, I personally really enjoyed this character but his basic moves are simply way too stubby, and his N-B cooldown doesn't make much sense. I really liked the first Bit.Trip Runner so this was amazing.

THANK. YOU.
