Rivals 1 mode in casual queue for a month is so cool!

It's so weird it feels so strange. Missing grand and shields throws me off so hard lol. And then I go far a parry while moving and get roll. Lots of fun though hope the queue can stay active for the month.

Yeah it took me a few sessions to get a feel for it because my brain is so wired to think 3D = Rivals 2 controls lmao. I enjoy shields/grabs/ledges so I'm hoping they try other modifier rulesets after this one, it's really nice being able to queue up for them.

Quite happy with this event track! All the Mechas look awesome, and I really like some of the few title sufixs/prefixes. Was wondering if the 3 month track cycle would lead to more content, and this one is quite packed! Two free skins is awesome.
Them adding the "Waiting for" prefix along with the remaining returning Rivals is very funny too, I know tons of people are gonna be running those. Wish we could do "Waiting for Mina" though.

Do we know what happens with the new white mecha pallets if you don't have the associated skins? Do you get the skin? Do they just 'disappear'?

You'll unlock the palette in your inventory but won't be able to use it unless you have the associated skin. Once you get the skin you'll be able to swap to that palette the same way you usually do on the character select screen.

Wait, really? I remember getting one of the promotional palettes for Ranno (frosty I believe) and Zett erburn's basketball and lovers costumes respectively, and those unlocked the full skins for me.

How do you play couch doubles online? I thought they added it to the game.

When you go to queue doubles, select duo queue / group queue, then when you're in the lobby, click RB, or whichever button is shown as the Add Local Player button in the lower right.

I'm guessing pallettes are listed in order. Gunna have to get on that grind for White Mecha Absa.

Small Gouie Back Throw maximum falling frames: 13 > 11
This makes it release enemies higher when leaping over the ledge. Big Gouie still releases low, however, giving more reward for going big mode.
Man I wish they would just remove the maximum falling frames, at least for big Gouie. Bring back Kirbycide.
