bro was so peak, why'd he have to die

agree. the mark made by FSpecial or DSpecial should be cancelled when hit by opponent just like most characters from mods

nerf hes too strong at least if you mark someone it goes away when your hit

is this toriel

came up when i searched Toriel

I love this character

Me too Sans, me too

i got here from serching toriel and see toriel with a sword

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Those whom know, know how to big iron

HOW DO I USE BIG IRON?

Balance updates. Finally. I apparently was just not paying any attention to whatever was going on with FStrong

I looked up Toriel, I found something thousands of times better... I never thought there would be any serious cavestory mods here!

I got here from searching ''Toriel''

This is honestly a really great character, but there is one thing I can ask for. Which would be the victory music, rather, lack there of, for this character. Please put in the Cave Story victory music, that is all.

I got here from searching "Toriel"

DAMN This character feels amazingly satisfying to play ! Awesome job !

Thank you for making this mod! I love Cavestory and being able to play as King in rivals is amazing!

i dont like the sprites. you should work harder at pixel art

Ok that's a surprse banger character, good character choice, feels fluid and overall fun to use, I also love how FStrong has that little hitbox on the back. Only things bothering me are USpecial doing a whooping 31%!!! and eyes being just little too big ingame.

King is my favorite character from cave story even if shows up only a few times. Seeing him as a character in this game makes me happy

I see Cave Story, I download. Simple as that, instant 11/10.

Super awesome, kudos. Feels fun

Adding on to what Toma said:

It's true that characters will be weird or obscure. The character picks won't even have a specific pattern. The one thing that will stay consistent is that for each character is that there won't be much info to go off of, yet it can be built upon. There is a high % chance they won't even be a protagonist or antagonist. There is a high % chance they have very few things going on with them. There is a high % chance to throw crap at the wall until it sticks.

Animation is pain. I would know. I do it. You have no idea how many times I had to redraw sword smears in order to get the best idea of gameplay feel. Then I threw them at Toma and he pushed from pretty magic buttons.

Unlike Toma, I have no consistent stream schedule for the pixel art thing, but expect to see me in the afternoon Sunday - Tuesday or Midnight Friday - Saturday (U.S. Central Time). I may dump things here and there, but no promises. Secrets are cool.

Hey all, just want to address some stuff I've seen here in the comments.

As much as I LOVE Cave Story (One of my favorite games of all time), Amber and I have our next few characters figured out. Unfortunately they aren't Cave Story characters. However, I can promise that they are mostly weird/obscure picks.

Gamefeel was an important part for me, so I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying the character! Amber designed the moveset, but I ultimately gave it the gamefeel and "balance" passes.

King was Amber's choice, and next one is mine. We're already underway developing our next character. If you're curious, I typically stream the coding process on Tuesdays, whereas AmberLearner streams the pixel art process. If you watch, maybe you'll learn some secrets about these characters? I like adding secrets.

Very cool character, Toma. Surprised King would be your first pick from cave story considering his lack of relevance, but you do him more justice than is cannon iteration. I just wonder if you intend on picking another character from cave story to bring to the workshop (my hopes are for Misery the witch).

@Krizeros Good news, the Indies of Aether team is making good progress with their Quote character

please make quote and curly please make quote and curly

I'm glad to see everyone enjoying the character! It was a ton of fun to make, and you can bet that Amber and I will be making more!

You know exactly what I'm going to do with this sword.

This is super well done! It's fun to use, and incredibly versatile! Great work!

I'm blown away by Forward Strong. I could talk about it for hours, so much use!

One of these days, he shall obtain a Big Iron on their Hip

Hey good stuff you two. Hes a fun char to play and fight against.

Awesome, I've always wanted to see Cave Story in Rivals!

Yo this character is sick. I've been waiting for this and Quote ever since the last Workshop Direct, so it's cool to see that this one is finally out. Great work, the character feels really fun to play

oh sick another cave story fighter

HELL YEAH, YOU GO KING, WOOO!!!

When I saw this I thought it was Toriel with a sword lmao.

Genius.

bro nice char i like it a lot and already have found some mechanics
