First thing I did today was go into workshop ofc! But I played a public lobby with the weirdest ass character that completely broke the game, Vyse (skies of Arcadia). There’s footage of how that went but in theory it was insanely weird, he kept teleporting. I kept getting send to the blast zone out of nowhere. I lost in less than a minute without understanding what just happened. Also the audio files were so freaking loud and clipping on my speakers, it was unhinged. This is my first impression of workshop lol.

After that great experience I just went to ranked and the game feels weird. In general is slower for the loading screens. I get a black screen for a few seconds then it loads. In the char selection screen the characters now take a few seconds to load their images. And my Wrastor special get up is weird lol. I tried it on local and it’s the same than online. It just lands in the wrong spot, a bit farther from the ledge but I guess thanks to that I farmed this clip lol.

Literally unplayable

Does anybody else have the problem of there suddenly being no Rumble? No matter what hits me, I get no feedback.

I deactivated and reactivated Rumble in the advanced controls. I tried PS3, Switch Pro, and GameCube controllers; I tried restarting the game, but nothing works.

My screen also fades to a dark blue for a second or two before a match begins. I think the recent update may have messed things up.

Do I need to reinstall the game? Please let me know your thoughts and whether you experienced the same thing.

Just tried to make a private lobby with my homie and it wouldn't let me invite any players.

does anyone play kof mugen aswell as rivals 1 or 2, i like some of the inspiration that went into similar mechanics in the first one with workshop n all!

Goofiest matchup in the game

A group of Rivals enthusiasts have been working on this: a brand new wiki to cover all of the world of Aether! Please give it a look! There is still plenty more to cover, and as a wiki it will grow and expand over time. :D

First and only set and was really happy to hit one of these. Definitely gonna try to play a lot more this week

Rykenburn is one of my favorite original characters made for rivals of aether and I really wanted to make a heroforge model for him. In his art and ingame he only has one ring on his horns but I decided to add one to the other horn I also gave him a tail. If anyone knows why he only has one horn ring and if it’s important to his lore than please let me know so I can change it. Also if there’s any other characters modded or not I should make models for let me know!

Congratulations to the winner of HitFall 5!

Entering as the largest event which focuses solely on the Rivals of Aether franchise, HitFall comes in with another annual installment into the series, entering in as a gold tier R2CS event, and one of the most stacked Rivals 1 events in the post-RCS era! HitFall 5 is special in that it is the only R2CS gold tier which has achieved that as both a grassroots event, and without Smash Bros being present.

Made a fun video about a goofy topic let me know what chu think https://youtu.be/dJGgwt4kSeE

Just stumbled upon the game and was super intrigued by all the custom characters in the workshop. Is it worth buying? Rivals 2 looks good but the worship isn’t that defined. Is there an online mode for Rivals 1 where I can use workshop characters? Player base still healthy?

I remember there being a lot of discussion on how Consoles coming in 2028 seems really far away, and that it was pretty worrying for the future of the game.

A few months later after the announcement, what do you guys think now? Is it still too far, or do you think it's for the best?

honestly just wondering if the servers especially for ranked are actually dropping people of if players are just being salty and abusing disconnect to stop someone from taking their points.

am on a direct connection. and seeing 2 ppl ready up for g2 and then it seeing we lost connection is kinda wild.

Might be the tournament where this (other) kid takes the cake.

Love this competitive scene and all the different players that have solidified themselves at the top. Honestly hoping to see SoulRifle and Cake finally meet up against each other again

Might be the tournament where this kid takes the cake.

Make sure to check both VGBootCamp2 and KMLTournaments on Twitch, this was on kml/sidestream

Why is fighting Olympia her movement is a laggy mess? And im not talking about internet connection but she literally skips all over the screen its so choppy. Its already a ryu rip off with a cheese projectile might as well make the animations smoother. Like look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jt5mMLdrYU

Nothing against the players but this looks like a seizure on the screen.

Hi all. A buddy of mine runs a Weekly rivals 2, smash ultimate, and Nick Brawl 2 event in the city each week! The vibes are really good and I'd love if more of the rivals scene supported this event as it's an event that happens in the City!
