It's my first time taking Rivals of Aether more seriously and this is how it went! This is also the first of more Rivals videos, so feedback is highly appreciated!
I really respect your decision to refrain from jumping straight into workshop immediately and truly appreciate the base game. It's incredibly good and most people miss that because they just go right into the crappy mods and drop the game as soon as they get bored of them.
I wouldn't really say crappy mods, but yeah, I rather check out the base game first and gain some general knowledge about the moveset, stats, neutral, etc., before I go whacko mode and use jotaro vs. ronald mcdonald
It’s honestly incredible just how good RUclipsrs are at downloading like 50 pages worth of Workshop characters and barely getting a single character that isn’t a Sandbert clone or Sans with Gun
to be fair, workshop stuff is amazing, and rivals is one of the few notable platform fighters out there besides brawlhalla and nasb2 that offer sufficient casual content, and people generally dislike brawlhalla and nasb2, so it makes since that most people who hear about the game, go straight for the cool workshop stuff
I never expected to see this but it’s really cool to see Sillin! Honestly I saw this and didn’t think it was you for a second. Keep up the content grind man, always love to see a video from you 🫶🏼
yes... yes!! someone playing rivals of aether for what it is!! without a million workshop mods!! glad to see you had fun with it! if you want to play more i recommend looking up how DI differs in rivals compared to smash, the mechanics are quite different and they make an even bigger impact on survivability
I'm very excited to see more, and I hope I can challenge you, someday! By the way, DI is a bit different here in Rivals, as you seemed to notice- You have to DI perpendicular to the angle you get launched, else it will be less effective
Never played rivals, but have seen them at my Smash locals! Watching you makes me want to take the leap. The controller edits at the beginning made me laugh and blush equally hard
Id strongly recommend mollo since you enjoy link. A good amount of disjoints and lots of wacky setups you can do with bombs. Flashbang into charged fair gives me funny brain chemicals
Great vid honestly, I would love to see your progression in getting good at this game especially since I rarely see content other than roa tournaments Also cause I play switch and get no games (no cross play) it’s cool seeing how other players that aren’t in pro level play
Now that you’re getting into Rivals of Aether, might I recommend going into the workshop and downloading a few custom characters? There’s BoTW Link, ToTK Link and 64 Mario if you want to get started. The only downside to having to play with workshop items is that you have to connect with a player that also has the item you want to play with. You can’t play as ToTK Link with someone who doesn’t have the item.
Yeaaaaah finaly !!! I was hoping to see something more than Smash on your channel (not that I'm bored of your Smash content, not at all) I will highly enjoy this video, I'm sure of it 😊
fighting you reminded me to change my *awful* steam tag i forgot I had so thanks for that lmao, it was a pleasure fighting you I love this game but can never really play it since there isn't a lot of persons playing it online in eu, so it was a blast!
Honestly, I consider myself a Smash supremacist and don't give any smash-likes a second look, but you managed to make this look worth giving a shot! Great stuff Sili, playing Smash or not, it's always a great time watching your content.
Hey Sillintor I know its an older video but I was wondering if you are using a mayflash or the official nintendo adapter as mine doesn't seems to work and show button prompt the same way yours do. Would be very appreciated to know how you set it up.
Good stuff! I know Rivals of Aether has been out nearly a decade now and the sequel will be coming eventually as well, but I've never actually tried this game. Smash Ultimate is like my favorite game ever, so just always stuck with that and just figured Rivals of Aether was a generic knock-off. Though, it definitely looks like fun and I might have to give it a try. I always find it funny that the Switch versions of most modern game ports are always the most expensive, yet they usually are inferior compared to like the Steam versions (which generally are cheaper in price). Nintendo always has that additional "Switch tax". 😅
Not into link, but definitely into Smash Bros itself when we combine 64, melee, brawl, smash4 and ultimate. It's just hard to depict every Smash title in a tiny thumbnail, so I went with one recognizable character who was in every single one of them.
If you ever decide to get into Workshop, I’d definitely recommend not doing it over quickplay tbh. You’re likely to run into either laggers with like 5 characters installed, or someone like BendyJW who plays the game nonstop and steamrolls people 😅 Friends or Discord matchmaking games are usually the best/recommended way to play Workshop for that reason lol
Clairen, the character that he was playing, has a mechanic where the tip of her sword is supercharged. Hitting opponents with the tip of your sword causes them to get stunned, as well as get dealt extra damage.
I wanted to point on something. Ive been subbed to you a few years now. Even would catch your live on Twitch every once in awhile. Just saw I was unsubbed to your RUclips account and I don't know why. Resubbed and hopefully it stays that way. Broken RUclips.
It's my first time taking Rivals of Aether more seriously and this is how it went!
This is also the first of more Rivals videos, so feedback is highly appreciated!
Feedback:
More videos! Also appreciated you explaining and showing tech.
Yo did you use music from the Gameboy color pokemon trading card game? It sounds so familiar and getting heavy nostalgia

5:38 that background music reminds me of Worms 3D. Gave me some nostalgic vibes!
Never played rivals, but have seen them at my Smash locals! Watching you makes me want to take the leap.

glad you liked the game
as a workshop developer its always so cool to see people try it out
the game just has peak movement gamefeel
Id strongly recommend mollo since you enjoy link. A good amount of disjoints and lots of wacky setups you can do with bombs. Flashbang into charged fair gives me funny brain chemicals

yesss rivals content!!! its my fave fighting game, im glad to see more people getting into it
I love rivals! It's interesting seeing people get more into the game, but DI being Melee DI is one of my favorite things. Makes combo variety sick
For a first time it's honestly quite good !
Also, have you played characters other than Clairen ? If I get the game I wanna try Ori
I play ori and sen
I played a few different characters like absa, orcane and shovel knight so far!. Just not in this video.
Now that you’re getting into Rivals of Aether, might I recommend going into the workshop and downloading a few custom characters? There’s BoTW Link, ToTK Link and 64 Mario if you want to get started.
The only downside to having to play with workshop items is that you have to connect with a player that also has the item you want to play with. You can’t play as ToTK Link with someone who doesn’t have the item.
Best way to get good ones is to go into collections and look for tournament rosters, always nothing but good characters in those.
More of these please!
yoooo this is sick, love rivals just as much as smash. great to see you like it too
loved it!!!! a breeze of fresh air on the channel! keep them coming!
Yeaaaaah finaly !!! I was hoping to see something more than Smash on your channel (not that I'm bored of your Smash content, not at all)
I will highly enjoy this video, I'm sure of it 😊
I had a pet Honduran Milk Snake for years; snakes are indeed adorable. He loved to do hair tie impressions. Good taste
fighting you reminded me to change my *awful* steam tag i forgot I had so thanks for that lmao, it was a pleasure fighting you I love this game but can never really play it since there isn't a lot of persons playing it online in eu, so it was a blast!
That Silksong roast burnt me to my core
Because its so true, lol.
The thing that’s funny to me is that I just bought Rivals the other day! I’ve been having an absolute blast playing it and I’m glad you have been to!
4:51 that poor man was SPAMMING for his up special oh my lord
This looks cool ... want to see more characters too.
Loving the hype surrounding Rivals 2 coming out. I have never played before, but it looks great and i cant wait to jump in!
The best thing about snakes is that from any angle their faces are: :3
That was sick. I would like to see both riavla and smash content on this channel.
YESSSS YESSSS YESSSS
Rivals of Arther is a goated game!!!! Thanks for playing it.
Just bought this game, I really want to see how you improve and maybe play with you in some stream
It's gotta feel good, finally getting to play a fighting game online for the first time!
Honestly, I consider myself a Smash supremacist and don't give any smash-likes a second look, but you managed to make this look worth giving a shot!
Great stuff Sili, playing Smash or not, it's always a great time watching your content.
Sili, I appreciate the gameplay and learning through this video
what im trying to say is... i am happy to see other games than USB
I am very excited for more Rivals videos :)
Theres an infinite combo with shovel knight (or so to my experience), its basically
[nair-fast fall-f tilt-jump-loop]
Cant wait to see the R2 content!!! 🎉
Hey this seems pretty fun, wouldn't mind seeing more of it.
damn strike on earth in this video is perfect
Hey Sillintor I know its an older video but I was wondering if you are using a mayflash or the official nintendo adapter as mine doesn't seems to work and show button prompt the same way yours do. Would be very appreciated to know how you set it up.
8:40 is this the Minecraft legacy minigame music????
I was ready for a much longer vid not gonna lie. Didnt feel like 10mins.
Can someone tell me what song is playing at 7:24? I know I heard that but can’t recall from where and it’s driving me crazy
It's the Pokémon TCG Gameboy game... I just remembered out of nowhere
Silin is going to be the most intimidating Fleet main in RoA2
Time to test out workshop Fighters in this series~
Wait until he finds about hitfalling, the best mechanic ever made in any platform fighter
wow your playing rivals now lesgo
Coming from Twitch, I'm curious how you'll edit the videos.
Good stuff! I know Rivals of Aether has been out nearly a decade now and the sequel will be coming eventually as well, but I've never actually tried this game. Smash Ultimate is like my favorite game ever, so just always stuck with that and just figured Rivals of Aether was a generic knock-off.

I always find it funny that the Switch versions of most modern game ports are always the most expensive, yet they usually are inferior compared to like the Steam versions (which generally are cheaper in price). Nintendo always has that additional "Switch tax". 😅
Game looks really fun I might have to check it out
Have you really put in 10k hours with Link? If that's the case I gotta play another 7 years to get anywhere close to this ahaha
Not into link, but definitely into Smash Bros itself when we combine 64, melee, brawl, smash4 and ultimate.
It's just hard to depict every Smash title in a tiny thumbnail, so I went with one recognizable character who was in every single one of them.
Holy variety :O
My friend is really excited for rivals 2 so we can play together, but i've never played rivals and have no idea who i'm gonna play lol
This game is fun I need to get back into it characters like orcane are fun af
If you ever decide to get into Workshop, I’d definitely recommend not doing it over quickplay tbh. You’re likely to run into either laggers with like 5 characters installed, or someone like BendyJW who plays the game nonstop and steamrolls people 😅
Friends or Discord matchmaking games are usually the best/recommended way to play Workshop for that reason lol
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
More rivals content please 😄
Wooooo my fighting game!
ok you got me hook, gonna buy the game
YO SILLIN! You should really check out Link (workshop char made by Muno) he takes inspiration from BOTW
I'll try out workshop characters as soon as I understand the game more :)
This video is amazing content
It’s actually crazy people don’t play the god teir tutorials
What's a tipper? Always here that term
Clairen, the character that he was playing, has a mechanic where the tip of her sword is supercharged. Hitting opponents with the tip of your sword causes them to get stunned, as well as get dealt extra damage.
Did you win against gluttony?
no :)
i don't understand much, but it makes me wanna play this game xD
Snakes are superb
Rivals is so sick man
Love that game
A video which is not Smash ultimate ?! variety content incoming ?!?!
YOOOOOO NON SMASH SILLIN CONTENT! Hope you could also get around to checking out other platform fighters like.
Multiversus
It's not called Rivals of Aether 2, btw. It's just Rivals 2.
Thanks for the clarification! But bare with me, I called it Rivals of Aether 2 a few more times in upcoming videos 😅
First love the vids!!!
please make more rivals videos
SNES smashy bros
How did you even find anyone online this game has no one on it. What console are you playing on?
See, that's the issue. You say console, but I play on computer/steam.
@@Sillintor ohh makes sense. All i have is xbox and you cant find a single game on there
@@lou7980yea the Xbox version of the game is dead in the water, they don't even support it anymore
Bro 😂😂😂
Hollow knight more likely than silksong on switch
😂😂😂
I felt that
Yes
I like that
YES! PLAY MOLLO, THE BEST FOR US LINK MAINS
Brawlhalla will always be my fighting game king but this looks pretty good
Nice
Cosmic Ronald McDonald is my go to workshop character.
Good vedo
I was see you rank up to master
I wanted to point on something. Ive been subbed to you a few years now. Even would catch your live on Twitch every once in awhile. Just saw I was unsubbed to your RUclips account and I don't know why.
Resubbed and hopefully it stays that way. Broken RUclips.
Hi
Ok... Now do Smash Studios.
Super smash pros ultimate
No way he only plays the easiest character and no one else.. and then has the audacity to call himself good at the game
