Rivals of aether forums how to#
Advancing through those open up optional tutorials teaching short hops, wall jumps (there’s no ledge grabbing here, instead you have to short hop off the wall to maybe save yourself), and even how to alter the trajectory of the angle you go flying. Tutorials go in-depth on more inside baseball terms like “frames” and “hitboxes” (which you can turn on in the training mode), and suggested strategies for each character. Do I lay a one of Orcane’s puddle bubble traps on the edge of the stage or do I try and do as much damage as possible and factor that trap into a combo? Although the objective is to damage your opponent until they eventually go flying off the stage, a la Super Smash Bros, there’s an impressive meta game in the area around each character. Before I knew it, Rivals had eased me into even more competitive play than I had been accustomed in this genre thanks to not only factoring in how much damage each hit will do (and subsequently how far the opponent will fly) but where to initiate the attack. These also include passive abilities like Wrastor’s air current side special which helps him traverse faster or Forsburn’s obscuring smoke. For example, Zetterburn (the fire lion) has a down special fire punch which not only can strike the opponent but leaves lingering fire on the ground causing burn damage for a few seconds. But what makes Rivals stand above other standard fighting game archetypes, however, are the elemental tricks.Īs mentioned, each character has an element that factors into their move set and tends to have an effect on the stage as well. There’s the slow but hard hitting character, the tricky character with delayed actions, characters who set up traps, and fast but less strong types.
Character design is fun, and I’m a particular fan of playing as a whale with arms and legs, but each of their play styles will be immediately recognizable to anyone who’s played a fighting game before. Choosing one of the six characters - with two unlocking later - throws you into Rivals of Aether’s frenetic gameplay in no time. When a shadowy force threatens the word, the titular rivals jump into action. The land of Aether is separated into warring elemental factions: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air.
