I really wish the skins were apart of his actual character in-game...I'd love to play as farmer Helios

Who else hopes Aether Studios don't pull a Mojang and don't completely block these characters from ever joining Rivals 2?

Wish I could main them in Rivals 2. Awesome concept

10/10

Overall, he's a charming character that feels right at home in the Rivals cast, even the devs said so. If were you, I'd be proud. Really proud.

I wanna end off with a couple questions: First off, how is his name pronounced? Is it hell-ee-oss, Heel-ee-oce, or something else.
Second, do you have a headcanon voice for him? At least an inkling of what his voice would sound like?

As for design:

As I said: he looks like he's enjoying himself 24-7. And his appearance makes him oddly approachable. He looks like the kind of guy I would wanna sit down with and blow off some steam; and he'd just listen, then give me some solid advice. Despite him having a blatant motive for fighting, he looks like he's making the most of it; and genuinely enjoys it. This is odd, considering his dialogue in his trailer; but perhaps fighting is more of a guilty pleasure. I'd also like to say how much I adore his taunt; though I wish he could down the drink himself. Not immediately, as that'd be a bit OP, even with the existing time it takes him pour the drink. I'd say let him take a moment to admire the drink before sipping.

Here to leave a lengthy review for people to read if they're interested:

I'm not entirely sure how to start; so I'll just say this dude is a blast. I don't know what it is about the way he plays; but I love it. Usually I can tell you vaguely why I like playing a character; but this guy escapes me. He's just all around fun and entertaining. Playing him for some reason makes me feel smarter and more confident in my actions, despite genuinely not knowing what I'm going for sometimes. The sols aren't a unique mechanic; but this take on it makes me grin like a child. The guy just looks like he's having a great time no matter what he's doing; and even watching him poke his opponents around is super fun. His attacks are unconventional, to say the least, making him sort of hard to pick up; but I'm all for it.

Super fun to play!

rivals 2 is just gonna be full of guilty gear characters lmao

I would have killed to see this guy in RoA2 man

Is it deliberate that his down aerial kicks the other way? Makes hitting opponents a bit unintuitive, but it does help when trying to push sols back on stage

Banger. More billiards players joining the workshop.

My favorite. Clearly the best pick. We <3 Helios

my favorite for many reasons

OH HELL YEAH

NGL I wish the Alt skins concepts were in the game :(

Absolutely a favorite of mine now; understated, simple and stylish with some clean ass gameplay

Thats me fr

Love this character and his downair

Need this character in Rivals 2 por favor

Venom wannabe, not that I’m complaining, more guilty gear moveset inspired characters

love the lore on this character!

Time to remember what I learned from Venom

I'm in love with Helios' gameplay

Banger character, love the animations and the gameplay. I think the spikes could serve to have a bit more hitpause. Shoutout to whoever did the portrait in the trailer, it fits right in with the other dungeons of aether characters.

Very impressively made character, I hope it wins the competition.

Congrats on the release!

WE LOVE HELIOS

Banger character

We love Bartenders who can fight!

I love the Dungeons-styled cutscenes for the trailer

The pool champion
