@welovehomeschool As of right now, Sandslash only has compatibility with Pokemon Stadium for the moment, but there might be the chance for more in the future. I'm planning to make a new patch soon for Sandslash, so I might be able to add some more compatibility during that time.

@aether's asylum what compatibility does he have

@Mothra

I apologize for the incredibly delay, as my computer was acting up and I couldn't respond in time. This is not a known glitch to us and if it happens again then please let us know, but hopefully it doesn't come up again and everything should be good for now.

Please let us know if this happens again, and thanks for informing us of this at least.

Neat character, but CTD'd right at the end of a match.

I apologize for the late reply, but that is actually something that happens with all workshop characters regarding how the game handles alt colors. Basically, after you download a character, you need to download another character after that one in order for their alts to work. So all you need to do to fix the issue is to download another character after Sandslash and the game won't crash on you.

Please let me know if that works, and I apologize for the confusion there, I'll probably update the description so everyone knows.

while cycling through skins, the game crashed with the following crash message

is this an issue anyone else is having or is this something wrong with my computer

o.k thanks for that.

Unfortunately as cool as that would be, I don't have the full spriting or coding skills to make a full character, and I would thus need to make a commission to both a spriter and a coder, which can cost upwards of $600-1,000. A lot of people ask for characters, but people should also know that it takes months to properly create ideas, sprite all 400 animation frames for a character, and then code that character in a way that works within the spaghetti code of Rivals. You can always feel free to join the Rivals extended workshop discord and commission people if you'd like, but it's going to end up costing me a lot of money that I don't have if I were to do that request.

Please forgive me for the upfront and somewhat answer, it's just that I wanted to be honest about how things are on my side, so please forgive me if what I said was rude at all, as I didn't mean to offend.

Aether's Asylum can you please make Bad M.R Frosty from ClayFighter please?

@GaibonSlogra

I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying Sandslash for sure, and I'm very ecstatic to hear that you find them so interesting to learn! Regarding your questions, Sturdy is meant to reference Aggron (I know it was hard to tell, my bad), and as for the Sandstorm armor, it's mainly meant to stop the opponent from starting certain jab combos and for helping Sandslash get through weaker zoning tools. I know it unfortunately isn't much, but it's more of a fun nod to the games with some niche utility, so I think the other tools Sandslash has make up for it. As for the lack of a landing option, yeah admittedly outside of down aerial, Sandslash doesn't have too many landing options, but it helps to balance out how good their combo game is.

Thank you very much for all of your support, I'm glad to hear you enjoy playing Sandslash, and please feel free to ask any other questions you may like, feedback is always appreciated and it means a lot to me!

One gripe I do have is that, in trying to make use of sandstorm armour, I am very often hit into the trap hitbox by a normal that does just a little too much damage. I don't wanna make the armour busted but it does feel more like an occasional lucky bonus than anything. A playstyle change on my part will prolly help more than a buff, but just wanted to mention!

I love big Sandslash. More sandy boy to love! <3

He's very fun to play, and it's interesting learning all the applications of Sandstorm. The alts are fantastic too, Nidoking and Haxorus are very epic choices. Is the Sturdy one meant to be Onix, Steelix or Aggron?

His lack of a good landing option does really hurt; I often find myself being juggled from 0 to 100% in some matchups. His fantastic advantage and great kill power do offset this tho.

Keep up the good work! \m/

YES! YES! FINALLY!

We're very sorry that Sandslash seems a bit too big at first, but thankfully when compared to the largest characters in the game like Regi and Wally, Sandslash is still relatively normal sized when compared with most of the characters on workshop. The only reason that we can't make Sandslash smaller is that it would take us several months to edit the sprites, almost as much time to make another character, so I hope you can forgive us just this once.

Please forgive me for if Sandslash is a little too big, thank you very much for enjoying Sandslash, and hopefully you can let us slide on this one, it was out of our control and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Finally seeing finished sandslash is a dream come true.
(I also agree they're a little big)

character feels great, bu he seems much too big for a sandslash. Rivals the size of many of the largest characters in the game.

Oh my god, it actually happened! Rare W.I.P W

FINALLY!

Once small nitpick with his backair, he moves forward in his animation meaning he doesn't get as much reach from his attack than it looks like he should.

To fix the issue with alts, you just download another character. It only affects your newest character.

Having the same issues with alts that lazmax mentioned, but I want to clarify something

It only happens when you to go past the omega alt

Only issue is that going through the alts will crash the game, but outside of that LETS GOOOOO
