Slightly relevant but a few of orcane's aerials were taken from ivy (u/dair) and dan specifically said he really likes how ivy plays...so i guess it makes sense.
something that every person playing any game with a large roster of playable characters has said since any character's reveal... lmao the age of hyperbole is still going strong
I mean it seems similar to Etalus but it seems Sylvanos uses the ground cover VERY differently. There's only so many ways you can leave a marker on the stage, and having a character use overgrowth as a stage control theme is pretty solid design imo
Every aspect of this blows me away. I absolutely love his design, aesthetics, crazy moves, and this story with the animation and voice acting was cool!
Also, this is one of the best trailers I've seen so far. 1. The voicing is good and the story panel is also AWESOME. 2. The gameplay of Sylvanos was lit because of the cool combos and mechanics shown. 3. I give it 10/10
Damn, this looks very polished , i hope this character and the part 2 of the story come in a bundle :) Forgot to congratulate the plentiful and beautiful artistic effort made in the trailer, if the character art Follows the style showed here these new aesthetics would catch more eyes and sponsors. You've got Amazing talent working for ya RoA Dev team!
Holy hell, I'm freaking stoked. Dan, you and your team consistently impress me with the character designs, and are a huge inspiration for me as an aspiring dev.
so amazing, by far the coolest character with the most detail so far. other characters are gunna need some updates i think to even remotely compare to this. so pumped to play this guy
This is another reason, I love Rivals SO MUCH, not only the game is fast paced, variable, has more modes, but the game has LOTS of LORE and the characters' origin story is cool, interesting, and of course............ lore.
Xekon Waldläufer You clearly misunderstood. Orcane is Water, Kragg is Earth, Zetterburn is Fire, Wrastor is Wind. Etalus is Ice, Maypul is Nature, Forsburn is Smoke, Absa is Electricity. Clairen is Plasma, Ranno is Poison, Ori is Magic. But the new one is also Nature. Only thing that's different about him is he's a legendary being that is a wolf made up of plants, rather than an actual animal. Yes, I admit my joke was dumb, and that the "Nature" I'm refering to is a form of Earth, so I apologize.
2:17 His song reminds me of some character in the Fire Emblem saga .... The part when a certain character appears ... plays the music exactly like that
Huh. I was convinced that the new ground character was going to be sand themed. I guess if I was thinking of it more as a grass section, then maybe I could have realised a flower character earlier
So, uh, I love this character. Might become my new main with some practice, but who's that character at the end? Nobody saw it but me? Is it the bowser jr. snake?
This character will straight up make the devs add a shield mechanic simply because of how he can basically create hitboxes on the ground and launch you from basically any location.
5 years later still my favorite character even added. I hope he makes it into rivals 2 in the first round of dlc(because i doubt he'll be on the launch roaster sadly by my guess of 2 slots per element)
Ooohhh, I bet that thing at the end is the “unlikely ally” mentioned in the clarion trailer. It looked like a rabbit or something in the Clairen trailer plus it looks like a small animal or something riding a mech. And you know, it must know a bit about technology since it did the time travel thing in the Clairen’s trailer and she’s riding a mech that she most likely built.
If Corrin was a giant wolf that had Zero Suit's paralyzer, Mewtwo's tail, and even larger smash attacks. Also can turn the ground into a combo starter/breaker as well as give him a recovery option. The hell did I just type
Super excited. Not exactly the type of character I like, but until I actually get my hands on it I won't know. I've loved every character so far so I can't wait to see if this one surprises me too
woah hol up dan said there was a lil teaser at the end w the sound, all i hear is the end of the song, the sound people use for like sparkles in the sky, and then a faint roar this the next character finna be a dragon im gonna cry dan pls
I definitely need this pupper in my life. Would main with Clarien for sure, he gives me that PM Ivysaur feel with abit mix of Corrin too. Tho its more likely he'll be out together with air based character. Worth the cash tho
Do you guys know what skins we could get right now considering the possibilities? Element Swaps. We could get Orcane posing as a volcano (that should look and sound cool enough), Absa posing as a druid, maybe even Clairen looking like the next Forest's Sentinal! Point being, it seems cool.
Now we wait for Alphas video showing off how op and skilled he is with this new character prompting me to now go out of my way and get my hands on the character. Cool
I was kinda hoping the 3rd earth character would be based on Metal, but this still sounds pretty sick. I suppose he'll be a lot like Etalus in a lot of ways.
![Quando Rondo - Life Goes On [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eIf3fhMXAow/mqdefault.jpg)
That lore was sick, wish the story mode was like that! Awesome trailer, can't wait to try him out.
BowlerSSF2 I hope the lore feels better ☺
BowlerSSF2 hiya!
Oh hey
Please start posting rivals vids too
Bowler
but do you know what will be better an okami alternative skin
baby maypul over there having absolutely none of this shit
she's like imma fight that guy and beat his ass!
Megal obsterFace when Sylvanos comes out, he's gonna be forced to take that shit
3:02 Car from Rocket League confirmed as final guest character. Congrats to Dan and team, and shout outs to everyone at Psyonix for making it happen.
Much hate though.
We can see the bunny's ears on top of the mech ;)
How? It doesn't look like that :/
Look carefully! In the middle of the top.
Nathaniel Hallé still don't see
SNAKE MECH TEASER AT THE END???
yep
doubt they'd ever add a snake mech, it just doesn't fit with the style of the rest of the fighters.
@@thelastxgamerhahaha they added
I think she was already out when I posted that lol
0:33 Then the fire nation attacked
StinkyCheese Is this trailer an Avatar reference ???
I came to the comments for this and was not disappointed.
Exactly.
New Avatar teaser!!
Damn! Beat me to it!
1:00 I really like how they saw that Deer character somebody made and decided to add it to the game.
I love the Rivals Team.
How did they add him?
It was in workshop
I'm checking back after all this time, I was the one who made the design. Still kinda weird seeing something I made in a trailer.
Inb4 Alpha calls this character broken
> player clearly runs into forward charged fsmash, has 2 seconds to react to it and does nothing
> 'OOF THIS CHARACTER IS SOOOOOO BROKEN AM I RIGHT FELLAS? SUBRSCRIBE AND LIKE BTW'
"this is the most fun i've ever had with a character in this game"
These are all too accurate
A lot of moves look like PM Ivysaur.
Novaflex I know, right? Said the same thing
I'm getting a PM Ivysaur plus Sm4sh Corrin vibe, just because of that pin move he seems to do
Slightly relevant but a few of orcane's aerials were taken from ivy (u/dair) and dan specifically said he really likes how ivy plays...so i guess it makes sense.
LKJ55 Orcane's dair is a drill, up-air is actually the only move taken from Ivy. People just think he feels like Ivy because he has four legs.
ivy's nair is a drill and her bair shares a few properties with orcane's bair.
Baby maypul and mayreed are too adorable.
Mayreed?
Daniel Chemi Maypul's sister, she's in story mode
Todd C oh I never payed attention to the story mode
My Girl Maypul
well, the alpharad video is gonna be fun
eraykaan You know he's gonna wreck people with this guy, and it will be funny as hell
Because apparently Alpharad is the only "famous" youtuber that plays this game and he will get access to this character months before we do.
no it’s not his content sucks now lmao
skrt skrt lol his content has gotten way better don't delude yourself
elFacho Are there any others, maybe besides Adam Carra?
you guys should really revamp the story mode to not suck, this trailer is a good way to implement lore.
I'm sure that's their plan for the next game
Also that little teaser at the end has to relate to the poll on Dan's Twitter that one time with the Mech character.
snek mech
๖ۣۜVee it looks like they chose the bunny
So no ones going to talk about the DOPE song?
So, it's basically Project M Ivysaur on bath salts. Sounds good to me!
2:10 Jeez, I could start a lawnmower business with this thing.
he's gonna start out so broken I swear, just looking at the trailer
Nah, don't worry, they're really good at balancing their roster. And even if that happens, it won't last for long. ;)
^
He looks to be the type of character that focuses on good movement, mixups and reads.
But his stage control, neutral, and recovery seem really good
Honestly he looks he could start combos from five miles away.
something that every person playing any game with a large roster of playable characters has said since any character's reveal... lmao the age of hyperbole is still going strong
Baby mapul's scowl is adorable.
The stage control is insane
And not in a very unique way unfortunately. At least judging by the trailer.
Take Azelfie the heart
grew cancerous
I mean it seems similar to Etalus but it seems Sylvanos uses the ground cover VERY differently. There's only so many ways you can leave a marker on the stage, and having a character use overgrowth as a stage control theme is pretty solid design imo
Every aspect of this blows me away. I absolutely love his design, aesthetics, crazy moves, and this story with the animation and voice acting was cool!
Also, this is one of the best trailers I've seen so far.
1. The voicing is good and the story panel is also AWESOME.
2. The gameplay of Sylvanos was lit because of the cool combos and mechanics shown.
3. I give it 10/10
BIG MAYPUL™
Milk Thicc maupul
Maypul already thicc tho tbh fam
Todd C He said big maupul...
I NEEDED TO CORRECT THAT SENTENCE, HE NEEDED HIS FACTS STRAIT, REEEEEEEE
Can't wait for the next air character
*Snake in a jetpack baby!*
Bunny in a jet pack*
spoonerism I thought for sure it would be a snake
Snake won my guy: twitter.com/danfornace/status/943143215141720064
Lyrunio for some reason I’m thinking snakes on a plane. But I’d rather a bunny. Captain Bucky O’Hare for DLC!
everything changed when the fire nation attacked
I don't like that joke.
LoupiTheMightyCucco lol
A story we have heard a thousand times brings such an awesome chatacter with it!
Holy shit he can go thru the wall of the stage! Thats so sick! His sprite is amazing
We have the dog to deal with the Fire Sword cat now
Roof
This music was the Forest Floor
New Lycanrock form is sick
Now that's what I call
a *Timber Wolf*
WHERE IS MY RIVALS OF AETHER ANIME?!
And now we are getting a graphic novel!
Papa Fornace hittin' us hard with that deep lore
I love how new Rivals always look op as frick when announced, but not as complicated when they release. This is no exception. Great job, Dan!
Yeeeeessss
Didn’t expect to see you here. Stay gassy!
Is no one commenting on the Nintendo Labo helicopter that came by in the last few seconds
Probably the Air character (most likely a snake or mech or a snake in a mech)
YOU FOOLS
IT'S CAR FROM ROCKET LEAGUE
I heard a Motor at the end of the video...
CAR FROM ROCKET LEAGUE COMFIRMED!!!
If you want me dead why don't you kill me instead of telling me to kill myself?
Kids this days, I'm telling ya, they're are getting lazier and lazier.
Ruly Tasho Actually it’s a Transformers
kek
llp
llp
0:28 Ee-ther confirmed :o
What if she's saying it wrong tho
you can say it both ways, i believe.
Epickills03 If you're a barbarian, that is.
WHY DON'T THEY THEN JUST SPELL IT ETHER
LRGonzales because thats pronounced "EH-ther". Not "EE-ther"
this guy is gonna get combo'd hard he's so large
Mr.Nigel117, too big for Smash.
_wait a second_
okay this soundtrack is badass
Zygarde 10% Forme
More like Sylvally. xD
4xzx4 more like lycanroc
Will he be 10% off then?
Damn, this looks very polished , i hope this character and the part 2 of the story come in a bundle :)
Forgot to congratulate the plentiful and beautiful artistic effort made in the trailer, if the character art
Follows the style showed here these new aesthetics would catch more eyes and sponsors. You've got Amazing talent working for ya RoA Dev team!
Holy hell, I'm freaking stoked. Dan, you and your team consistently impress me with the character designs, and are a huge inspiration for me as an aspiring dev.
so amazing, by far the coolest character with the most detail so far. other characters are gunna need some updates i think to even remotely compare to this. so pumped to play this guy
Everything was at peace until the fire nation attacked.
This is another reason, I love Rivals SO MUCH, not only the game is fast paced, variable, has more modes, but the game has LOTS of LORE and the characters' origin story is cool, interesting, and of course............ lore.
this character looks incredible in animation and in gameplay, should be hype to play :D
water bois: ay trees cool
sylvanos: dont mak me angrey boi
Holy shit let's go, new earth character!
*nature
Lugwoggy Where in the world is it Fire, Water, Wind and Nature. It’s always Fire, Water, Wind and Earth.
Xekon Waldläufer You clearly misunderstood.
Orcane is Water, Kragg is Earth, Zetterburn is Fire, Wrastor is Wind. Etalus is Ice, Maypul is Nature, Forsburn is Smoke, Absa is Electricity. Clairen is Plasma, Ranno is Poison, Ori is Magic.
But the new one is also Nature. Only thing that's different about him is he's a legendary being that is a wolf made up of plants, rather than an actual animal.
Yes, I admit my joke was dumb, and that the "Nature" I'm refering to is a form of Earth, so I apologize.
Sylvanos could be considered Beast or Animal, which still fits with Maypul and Kragg
Well.. true I guess, but beast or animal isn't exactly an element. But I don't think that really matters. I say it works! :D
2:17
His song reminds me of some character in the Fire Emblem saga ....
The part when a certain character appears ... plays the music exactly like that
so nice to see the combo of orcane and etalus coming together to fuse with corrin
Huh. I was convinced that the new ground character was going to be sand themed. I guess if I was thinking of it more as a grass section, then maybe I could have realised a flower character earlier
Lyrunio Its nature, not earth. When you think of it as earth and forget Maypul just because Kragg is there, that's how they get you
Didn't except that but looks amazing! I love Rivals of Aether so much!
I love that when he attacks with bark he barks! 😅
So, uh, I love this character. Might become my new main with some practice, but who's that character at the end? Nobody saw it but me? Is it the bowser jr. snake?
darthproxis1 bunny I thought
Todd C
If I remember correctly, the poll on twitter, majority voted snake. But I could be wrong. Guess we'll find out eventually who and what it is
darthproxis1 it was 51% to 49% and he never said the vote was what would decide it... It might be a snake but it might also be a bunny still
M.C. Joans
There's the numbers I was looking for! But yeah, you're right. Could be either or
BABY MAYPUL
Christ, everything about this character: the lore, the design, the moveset, screams Final Boss to me
Was so worried Maypul's sister was gonna be the new character lol. Pretty sick though
Where is the Switch version?
It would be SUPER hard to get that on switch
Aqu0 he already said it would come to Switch 2018 on his Discord. We just don't know when
Brawlout did it, why shouldn't a good platform fighter be able to do it?
Diego Ramos And you know this how exactly?
Undertale was made in GM, and it got a WiiU port
1:00 They used the deer hunter idea! :O
This character will straight up make the devs add a shield mechanic simply because of how he can basically create hitboxes on the ground and launch you from basically any location.
Nathan Hudgens Or if you are gud enough, just parry when you predict he'll use the move.
5 years later still my favorite character even added. I hope he makes it into rivals 2 in the first round of dlc(because i doubt he'll be on the launch roaster sadly by my guess of 2 slots per element)
Listen, this guy is literally just the best parts of everyone combined.
To be honest, I want the red panda as a playable character!!!
#RedPanda4Leaf
Or the cool forest ish centaur.
I wanted a sand cobra or something along those lines
Orophlacious I mean, I LOVE for this to be a free character, but I know it won't happen. So then I'd love a switch port
Chris NMC switch is sorta confirmed. Just a matter of time
I highly bet the red panda becomes the air character
There is a Maypul coloration that could be a reference to her sister.
Even if i must pay for it, i would because....JUST LOOK AT HIM!
After seeing the effort put into this trailer, I can't wait to see what you do with Car from Rocket League.
0:27 Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. Then... everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
It is true though!
Maypul during the beginning of the video though
0:17 The female red panda in the couple picture frame is so pretty! Idk why I can't get over it!
"Sylvanos is my FAVOURITE CHARACTER! He was MADE FOR ME!" - Adam "Your Favourite Adam Carra" Carra, circa. 2018
YO THAT LOOKS SO SICK, Wolfs are my favourite animal and im really excited to play as this one :)
MKZaiR LaSauvage Forsburn gets no love :(
Wow a wolf as a favorite animal? How original!
Who wants the next character to be Dust from Dust: An Elysian Tail?
plenty of people.
Dylan Cumberland Yeah 😎😁
Hell yeah
Dust and Fidget would be an awesome addition! Also I think it would be cool that guest characters are a pair, like Ori and Sein!
Hollow Knight!
Ooohhh, I bet that thing at the end is the “unlikely ally” mentioned in the clarion trailer. It looked like a rabbit or something in the Clairen trailer plus it looks like a small animal or something riding a mech. And you know, it must know a bit about technology since it did the time travel thing in the Clairen’s trailer and she’s riding a mech that she most likely built.
If Corrin was a giant wolf that had Zero Suit's paralyzer, Mewtwo's tail, and even larger smash attacks. Also can turn the ground into a combo starter/breaker as well as give him a recovery option.
The hell did I just type
Novidas this character is more like ivysaur in Project m than anything tbh
How is each new character cooler looking than the last?
Im pretty sure this was writen the hell in the etalus characther reveal trailer
Amazing new lore! Hopefully we'll get more. Also I'm still waiting for a reptile character.
elFacho I would very much prefer a bunny but I’m pretty sure you’re getting your wish.
This is hands-down the best trailer out of them all.
this should really be a movie its so good ^-^
And the new character acts like Oracane And maypul Comebined
So looks like a very stage control type character. Those ranged attacks and sticking to the stage also remind me a bit of Corrin.
Stage control just took on a whole new meaning.
Ooooooooooh, you just KNOW Alpharad is gonna have a field day with this one.
I can't wait! When Sylvanos is added, this game is gonna go crazy!
Super excited. Not exactly the type of character I like, but until I actually get my hands on it I won't know. I've loved every character so far so I can't wait to see if this one surprises me too
Salvanos is like a god type of aether in the game and lore
Maypul looks like she's just like "Ugh, great, a stupid story" but the one next to her looks so amazed.
We NEED story modes for the dlc characters. Also Sylvanos's design is just.... wow. Incredible.
*First Ragnir then this? It's like Christmas all over again* 😍😍😍
1 character left + 1 guest character! Here we go!
woah hol up dan said there was a lil teaser at the end w the sound, all i hear is the end of the song, the sound people use for like sparkles in the sky, and then a faint roar
this the next character finna be a dragon im gonna cry dan pls
I definitely need this pupper in my life. Would main with Clarien for sure, he gives me that PM Ivysaur feel with abit mix of Corrin too. Tho its more likely he'll be out together with air based character. Worth the cash tho
*sylvanos, the heart of still broken 6 months later*
Do you guys know what skins we could get right now considering the possibilities?
Element Swaps.
We could get Orcane posing as a volcano (that should look and sound cool enough),
Absa posing as a druid, maybe even Clairen looking like the next Forest's Sentinal!
Point being, it seems cool.
Now we wait for Alphas video showing off how op and skilled he is with this new character prompting me to now go out of my way and get my hands on the character. Cool
This is why you don't burn half of the forest you'll just summon it's Pet Wolf.
"Once, all of Aether was green and verdant."
"But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked..."
I wish something with a desert theme but this is still pretty sick :D
I hope he and the next DLC character will get their own stage reskins, just as Clairen and Ranno did.
4xzx4 I’m pretty sure it’s a given at this point. 😺
Man I love elrannos art it’s so damn good
I was kinda hoping the 3rd earth character would be based on Metal, but this still sounds pretty sick. I suppose he'll be a lot like Etalus in a lot of ways.
Didn't expect another new character so soon
Sakurai: "Ridley's too big."
Dan: "Hold my beer."
Looks like there's some Bulbasaur inspiration. Looks fun.
Hell yeah, best early birthday present!
