Introducing: Loric, The Scrappy Magician!

Hiya, I'm Loric. I'm going to be the greatest magician to ever come out of the Aetherian Junkyard. You can catch me at one of my shows in front of the local tavern. They don't let me inside anymore. Not after one of my gears miraculously cut through the barkeep's line of fancy bottles. I much prefer performing out on the cobblestone anyway. I catch much more foot traffic out here. I mean, who needs taverns anyways?

Wait! Where are you going? My next set starts in two minutes. Hold on! Please don't go! I can pull a rabbit out of my hat!

Huh? Bunbun? What are you doing on my gears? Wait! No! Bad rabbit! ...

Loric scavenged his hat and chains from a junkyard at the edge of the Aetherian Forest where the Air Armada dumps their 'spare parts'.

"Some people say one lemur-sloth's trash is another Aetherian's treasure. Or wait... was it the other way around?"



Mechanics

Loric has a lot of moves that allow him to uniquely maneuver around the stage, especially his main gimmick:

Gear. Loric's Neutral and Up Specials will throw a gear on the stage if there isn't already one there. This gear can be pulled around by Loric holding or using his Neutral Special again, and Loric can pull himself to the gear by holding or using his Up Special, but watch out: he'll be temporarily disconnected if he gets attacked. Loric can turn the gear into his vanishing assistant Bunbun for a quick attack with Down Special. The gear can be kicked around by both Loric and his opponent's attacks.

Loric's Side Special is a ribbon which he uses to pull himself towards his opponent to quickly close gaps and start or continue combos!


Miscellaneous

Feedback welcome!

P.S. Art is hard. So much respect for all the other workshoppers and the Aether Studios Team!

@alibi they feel amazing to play already hmhm, a little bit ratty annoying for the enemy cause of just how his stuff works but that's not always a bad thing.

@suveranai We added sounds, updated the art, and added a few more color options (even though they don't look good on the character select screen 😅). Hope he feels better to play as now!

Happy i can assist, i do really enjoy what loric seems to be going for as a character, a more grapple tether type character. And i'm hopeful that you can find someone who can do sounds and animations for him hmhm. a smaller request would also be more skins as he only has 3 and then like 7 same pitch black skins.

@suveranai Thanks for the feedback! We wish we could improve his art, but unfortunately, we're not artists, so we don't really have the skill to make something much better I'm afraid. If anyone wants to remake all the art for him, please reach out and maybe we can strike up a deal. We'll try over the next few days to add in more sound effects and adjust his attacks based on your very helpful feedback!
suveranai 1 Jan @ 4:50pm 
Is there going to be sound and a bit better animations for the character cause he feels great and very mobile, but he feels sterile and a lot of his moves that aren't using the chain often is just him tilted or a little thing that's hard to see. He also has zero sounds going for him, adding to the sterility.

The only issues i've found for him as a character viability level is that his jab and his forward smash/heavy attacks are incredibly easy to fall out of. His f-smash sweet spot is a little weak for what it is. And his down tilt is too small to really be a viable option compared to up tilt which matches it's speed and is barely outmatched in terms of hitbox in front of loric.

Great character either way and i am excited to see what he becomes as i do like the set up style mobility he offers and i'm just giving feedback.

Thanks! The bug should now be fixed in v1.3. Please let us know if you find any more bugs or have any suggestions to improve him... we want to make him as fun as he can be!

Hello, first I would like to say Loric is fun character to play, so thank you for creation.

I would like to also ask. I encountered that when I press neutral Special and grab gear and than press forward Loric also shoot gold rope to oponent. I don't know if it's intentional or simply bug.
