Microsoft Sam

From the creator of 100% Accurate Fox, Microsoft Sam brings Windows XP vibes to Rivals of Aether!

Sam's attacks are based on the many things we associate with the 2000s age of computing. He is slower, but his disjointed moves keep opponents at bay. Sam has many ways to set up interactions that the opponent may not expect, but everything has to go to plan or it could backfire.

Sam can place error messages on the screen, which create a giant hitbox when attacked. There are three different levels available:

Info - Hitting this will amplify the range of the attack you hit it with.
Warning - This will stun the opponent and send them straight upwards. Use this to start or extend combos!
Critical - This will send the opponent flying. Use this to take stocks, and be careful not to get hit yourself!

All of these can be activated by an opponent against you, so watch out!

As Sam racks up damage, a progress bar loads, divided into three sections. The level of the progress bar determines the level of the next error message.

Sam can catch an opponent's attack in the Recycle Bin and use it against them later as a projectile. You can also use this on your own error messages, turning them into deadly artillery!

Get on Clippy's paper plane and travel across the skies! Fly past an error message and it will power up your flight. It's effect changes depending on the level.

Look, it was obvious.

DISCLAIMER: This isn't a cheapie. I haven't put out any balance patches since release so I can't say whether he's too OP or too weak, but nonetheless, this character is designed to be similar to the base cast, not 100% Fox or others. If any competitive players have any balance suggestions, don't be afraid to comment or message me on Discord. I'm @radrobbie on there and I'm on ExW too. (don't be offended if i don't reply, i'm a coward)
