So is his hair coming out of his eye?

If Rian is a unfinished lifeform then why is he a finished character?

Alright then, I can’t wait to see the new rian, best of luck

There's quite a lot I don't like about this, actually. I probably am just gonna remake him.

I'm working on mechanics right now, so once the game mechanics and combat are planned out, I'll see what I can do about his moveset. The thing about this was that I didn't really have moves planned for him yet cause it was still in the writing phase, so I had to wing it. If I end up changing him up a lot, I'll reupload it as a separate version with much more balance. before then, I'll do a balance patch.

If he’s from a Metroid vania why not have an upgrade gimmick where through gameplay you can get upgrades on moves

Yep. He's a character from a metroidvania I'm working on. I might fix his side b later this week if I'm feeling up to it. I've done some other nerfs as well. (Which I haven't updated yet.)

Original Character? or no?

If your lucky, he moves way too fast and can act out of it, it’s pretty bonkers

You can hit him out of side b.

side b is absolutely insane. nerf the hell out of that and you have an alright character. Just try to spam side b on a friend or cpu

Do you think he'd need a gimmick?

Rian is REALLY strong.
He has no hurtboxes on his attacks, fspecial covers Forest Floor (which is the largest stage in Rivals), his fireballs are really good, and he can kill early.

If you're trying to make him tournament viable, you have a lot of work to do.
If you aren't well, have fun.

Fixed in the newest patch. I might do even bigger patches later like an idle animation change and maybe some more alts.

So dair kills at 6 in the trailer, has that been changed?

I don't think so.

ok, btw have you joined the extended workshop server?

All of his attacks have their weaknesses, but if he is too good, I will nerf him.

Is he meant to be op or are you considering balancing him?
