Description
Dan Backslide, the former sneak of Roquefort Hall, coward bully cad and thief, and arch-enemy of the Dover Boys, squanders his misspent life into Rivals of Aether...

Dan Backslide from the Dover Boys, now in Rivals for April Fools! Dan is an unorthodox character, based around lots of self damage and weird moves.

If you like this, consider leaving a thumbs up for support!

Moveset

Neutral Special
Dan claims to hate the opponent! Anyone near him will get the Hate status effect, which results in them taking 1.5x damage from all of Dan's attacks... But he'll also take 1.5x damage from them, too.

Side Special
A runabout? I'll steal it! No one will ever know! Dan steals a runabout, and drive forward. The runabout can be knocked around, and Dan himself can also be hit out of the runabout while driving. Dan can also get back into the runabout at any time if it is on the stage!

Up Special
Dan summons Dora Standpipe, because he loves her (fathers money). However, she will throw him immediately, resulting in some self damage (and a pretty good recovery move, especially if you hold Special).
Afterwards, Dora will stay in one spot and bang on a door, kicking anyone who gets too close behind her (including Dan himself)! If she takes enough damage, she will walk off the stage and disappear.
However if Dora is already out (or you cancel the move during startup with shield/parry in the air), Dan will instead hark smoke downwards, which is a weaker (but faster) recovery option.

Down Special
Dan hates the Dover Boys so much that they drive him to drink! A very slow move, but it has a powerful hitbox when it comes out, and afterwards Dan is allowed to drink as much as he wants to as long as you hold special. Drinking will heal Dan rapidly, but it will also make him drunk if you have too much!
When Dan is drunk, he will become slippery, and he'll hiccup at random... Even during attacks! So depending on your luck, this can be good or bad.

Tavern of Unsavory Repute

Dan Backslide also comes with a stage; Tavern of Unsavory Repute!
Extras
- Dan's moonwalk is The Backslide... An amazing technique which gives Dan an excellent movement option that he can use to steal Runabouts.
- Dan has 3 different taunts: normal, up, and down! Also, if you do his normal taunt and press attack, he has an extra taunt, too...
- Like Morshu and I. M. Meen, a lot of Dan's alts have unique sounds!

Ah... Yeah, that explains it actually, haha.

For some context, Talking Flower has a weird cheapie list thing to it, and the person who made it basically put all my characters on said list. It's a kinda unnecessary feature, and mostly just gets players very confused.
As for why the creator of the buddy did this, they just seem very strange and drama-focused from what I've seen.

So, to solve the problem you'd have to either ask for it to be changed, or avoid using that buddy altogether unfortunately. Which is obviously a shame, as the Talking Flower should probably not confuse players by doing this stuff.

With all that said, I apologize for the inconvenience! People should be allowed to play whatever characters they want, but at least the good news is that Dan himself should be completely usable, haha.

If you're wondering about anything else just let me know!

@felix, it seemed to happen regardless for a couple matches, but i stopped having the buddy equipped and it stopped. i was mostly using the talking flower, i first discovered this the other day so i can't remember if i was using anything else

there would be some moves that would deplete either dan's or the opponent's stocks to 1 on hit, but the problem seemed to be caused by dan in relation to something else? i'm still playing now so i'll let you know if it comes up under different conditions, but yea it seems to just be the buddy at least which is nice in the interim! dan's one of my favorite characters so the thought of having to bench him made me sad lol

Hi! That does sound super weird, I haven't seen anything like that myself and Dan is definitely not supposed to do that, lol.
Doesn't sound like a bug that typically happens either, although bugged installations aren't unheard of on workshop! Sometimes stuff just acts weird and reinstalling the character does the trick.

Still, just to make sure: Were there any other characters in the match or anything like that? Any specific stage? Were you using any particular buddies? Or does it happen regardless of all that? It does sound like something else could be messing with it, but that's still kind of a rough guess, haha.

hey, has something changed with dan? it seems like using some smash attacks causes his stocks to drop down to 1, i don't think this was always the case

A workshop character, I'LL STEAL IT! NO-ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

Greetings, i was wondering if it would be possible to make the kamehameha from munos goku mod and the galick gun from smileys vegeta mod push the car backwards with dan so that goku or vegeta does not get hit by it, canceling their lazer attacks. pretty please with cherries on top

@wesbobsquarepants Common Rivals bug that some people experience. Not a bug with the character and it's just the game itself unfortunately!
