Zerra

Description
After 7 months of development, my second character, Zerra, is complete. This ice-skating rabbit has low friction and a heavy emphasis on speed and acceleration, such as strongs getting a boost of power above a certain speed. For the other mechanics, there’s a full guide in training mode complete with a framedata viewer.

Almost all coding and animation was done by myself.
Special thanks to Wishdream for making the portrait and all the testers that helped me with balance!

Really fun character and love the theming but it overall feels very weak and a bit rough at times.

There's a lot of ways to loose all your momentum for weird reasons like Down-b for example that makes the character a bit clunky to play.
While the character is very mobile, the attacks feels very lackluster a bit similar to Sonic in Smash (Brawl is the better example). Low range on almost all the moves, most of the time you aim for stray hits with low rewards and you almost only kill with Smashes.
Also what's the point of Side-b ? I don't understand why you would want to charge it since it removes your ice mechanic for some reason, it's not strong, starts out slowly and goes way too fast at the end where it's easy to SD to the side.

hi I love this character and I almost main her but one thing that keeps getting me killed is shes practically a quantum accelerator if you try to wave dash with her am i missing something

So far loving the character, but had a few things feel inconsistent.

Using her strong attacks too soon out of a dash leaves you stuck in place, though putting stick in neutral before the strong attack will leave you with the proper sliding momentum. Not sure if this is intentional but getting stuck in place is pretty annoying.

The only other thing that bothers me is that reversing the direction on her upB and downB is finicky sometimes. I think some more frames of leniency on changing the direction would help the feel of it. B reversing the neutral special can also fail on stick often, (though I'll admit that's likely a me problem.) I'm wondering if there could be a better way to guarantee a reverse on it when you're trying for one.

Fun character though, she's definitely my workshop main.

that is way better, thx & sorry about yesterday, i admit, it's my mistake
verslycken.thomas89 22 Aug, 2022 @ 6:45am 
@shplurmff oh ok, i suppose i can try that, honestly i've never seen a recovery without anyairial movement (outside momentum before) so that might be the reason i thought like that & also the reason why it gave me trouble against even an ai that does nothing at all (training mode), sorry about that (i'll delete my other comment)

@verslycken.thomas89 i think it's very funny that you think that. i don't know a single other person who shares that sentiment. i think you should try using nspecial a bit more in recovery, expecially the b reversed version. after that, uspecial's better for vertical distance, dspecial's better for horizontal. between all that and the walljump out of all them, i've never had trouble recovering from anywhere but the absolute bottom corner of the stage.

idk if it's only me, but sometimes her Strongs get stuck charging and i can't release them until they are fully charged.
Which makes using them during slides near impossible

I wanna see a pet that goes along this one's theme because I would think that would be adorable

thank you for both zerra and zephrie these two will forever be some of my favorite characters in the workshop, and I don't think there will be another workshop creator who can capture cute and cool like you did. I will miss your imagination, and character design take care.
