Reread and retry steps 5 and 6 of the bigfriendlygames guide and if you still can't dash raise your left stick anti dead zone

That's to remove the ability of kragg to upB someone and get a free hit off them. Being that close to the ceiling and getting a free utilt, fair, uair, nair, etc is way more bull****
Pretty sure it was never free unless the opponent got caught without a dodge.

forcing a 50/50 with your opponents dodge for something that's 0 commit for you when you should be in a bad position (above them) regardless of their percent is still dumb
Not only that, but you could DI away.

talking about pre-EA as a playtester
Well, I was talking about 0.0.4, before the latest change to Pillar hitstun. My main training partner plays Kragg, and I found I could virtually always airdodge away unless maybe if I was in the absolute dead center of the pillar, in which case forward light might catch you.
I feel that Kragg's pillar should likely work like Mewtwo's confusion (in Smash 4). He doesn't get any guaranteed followups, but he's at frame advantage on hit so if he reads your defensive option he can get a follow-up.
I've also stated elsewhere that I would like it to be the case that if you parry the pillar, it lifts you up to where Kragg is (with him being stunned obviously). That would be enough incentive not to spam it.

Double post, but a new beta patch has been made available:
http://aetherboards.com/forums/threads/802
Some very substantial changes in here. Some specific comments:
Also, Forsburn's kill potential just got way better now that you can't just randomly tech out of his kill moves. You're definitely going to have to be afraid of him now.

Thank you thank you thank you. No more random teleport SDs!

All of these seem reasonable. I was going to recommend the smoke stall one anyway, as it seems like there might be some maps where this could be used for infinite stalling.
Not quite how I would have handled this (15 seconds is a fairly long time to stall down a match, probably better to allow the players to bust it in some way instead), but it needed some kind of fix.
This definitely seems a bit questionable, that move is already stupid good.
Kupo will be happy about this at least.
Seems like a nice change, though probably won't occur that often in practice.
These two are both interesting. The first one might make dashing Nairs a little weaker, or at least harder to do. The second one is intriguing, but I'll have to try it out to know what effect it's going to have.

I am haha and I'm happy the plant goes away as well. I don't understand why the bind was given more time and I don't understand why the nair was reduced. Don't agree with those at all.
Bind probably got more time to kind of make up for the plant nerf. It's not really that huge, it'll just allow you to get the double smash attack at slightly lower percents.
Nair change definitely seems kinda questionable.
Just played some matches in the new Beta. I have to say, Forsburn feels way better. You don't know how much of an improvement that change to the up Special input is, and it's so nice to finally have Forward Strong work properly on grounded opponents. It definitely helps his footsies a lot.
Also, I feel like the game just feels better overall, possibly as a result of those nebulous momentum changes. Haven't fought any good Maypul players yet, though, so I may still rage when that happens.

So, I'd some fun with Zetterburn sprites, I really love Zetterburn and when I first saw him I could only think about Leomon so I've made some Leomon and Dark Leomon recolors. Hope you like them, the bigger ones are a bit sloppy but I really like the little ones.

Open your wineskin while holding option. Click 'Advanced'. The advanced stuff window will pop up. Click on the 'Tools' tab. Regedit is on the left of that menu.
Was something said about Absa? I didn't see anything.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it, it's here.

sucks this won't be on Wii U... right?
They said they wanted to do Wii U but it doesn't have support for Game Maker Studio.

What do people think about the amount of invincibility on parry?
I assume you mean the length of time you remain invincible after a parry?
It's sometimes a bit silly, like when you parry a projectile and you're invincible for like a second afterwards. Should maybe scale in some way based on the move that gets parried.

This is also my opinion. I find it prevents counterplay to an extent.

id dev mode here to stay or it will just be available during the early access? i mean, it's a really cool feature and ill probably miss it if they took it away
btw, yeah, why replace the halloween pallete instead of keeping both? those colors were way coller than the Xmash ones.

For anyone interested in Rivals Of Aether videos, here is something I recently threw together.
Footage is from Losers Semi's of Get Good. This is more for entertainment than anything, and is not meant to be any display of technical skill.

So I finally got around to playing a bunch of matches with Absa. She is a very interesting character, but also really hard to get used to. She basically plays like a Smash 4 character in a Melee-like game, which was confusing the heck out of my brain for a while.
Although she can go in to a small degree, I feel like Absa's main gameplan is to keep people away. I've had good success using side special into down special to control space, then using forward strong to blast people when they try to get past it. You can also toss out another cloud just before the countdown expires, which is really useful. The lightning bolt can be good but I feel it's riskier than her other options and is generally most useful to set up once you knock them offstage or otherwise have advantage.
I am slightly concerned about her vulnerability to parries, though. It feels like almost all of her moves have a pretty obvious wind-up, and parrying them stuns her for a while. I feel like a very defensive opponent could just basically wait for her and parry, because she lacks the solid normals to mix up her offense that the other characters have. In particular, I don't think parrying her side B should stun her, no one else gets stunned when their basic projectile gets parried. Destroying the cloud might be a reasonable reward for parrying this move, but to be honest I think the one second or so of free invincibility is likely reward enough, considering how low risk it is to attempt to parry the cloud.

You're a vegetable
I have a quick question about setting up controllers for RoA. I have Rivals of Aether running on my macbook pro using Wine and I can't seem to find a good tutorial for getting the Mayflash 4 port GC Adapter to work. I'm probably the only one here that's playing RoA on a mac but does anyone here know ho I could get this working? I'm so close to playing the game but I refuse to play with keyboard controls.

from what i've tested if u side B as maple towards kraggs up B pillar depending on spacing, you can break through it and still wall jump off the stage into air dodge upB. And if the spacing is to where the pillar is too far off the stage for maple to reach the stage, he could just neutral b the pillar and it goes away in one hit anyway

just snagged this for 12 bucks from the Steam Sale after hearing some feedback on it from a Jwitz video.
gonna check it out now, but from what I see these characters are pretty danged neat.

just got this game, and loving it!
do you guys know if the creators keep their eyes on the community and listen to peoples ideas? I know they likely dont take requests, but are they at all involved with the community the way the PMDT was?
