The only limits are that of the player base and that is so smart and so cool.

Yeah if you're talking about base cast I 100% agree, I hate when people say this game is only about the workshop and everything else sucks and yet never touched base cast characters
rivals is already a pretty good fighter with the main roster, but when you add the workshop and its surprising amount of high quality characters it's when the game truly becomes endless plus, i loved how they picked 4 mod characters and made them canon as a free dlc (after polishing and rebalancing them properly)
@@VictorZ290 As far as I've heard... no, there hasn't really?

My initial reaction: "Why does waluigi have a goddam lightsaber?" My current reaction: "Mama Coco getting roasted by a flamethrower, good gameplay... solid gameplay"
This game is a mastapiece. Seriously, getting George Costanza and jerma into smash is the best descision ever made. Steam workshop support is a must in games like these, Bravo.
I love Rivals of Aether so much. Aside from the incredible workshop community, the base characters are just so well made. Their movesets are really synergetic, like a lot of their moves work with their other moves and that's incredibly cool to me. If you like platform fighters you owe it to yourself to play Rivals of Aether.
And not only that, but theres also tons and tons of originals! some of my personal favorites are as follows Mojibake/Tamat - Team Nerve (If you do not know who these are, you should. these signs are special.) Drosera/Ztatic - Spider Boi (Spider Boi in particular is an amazing creator you should really check out, great person. Plus Ztatic has great conservation mechanics and Drosera is just OOH.) Siren - FungiWizard (Bullet hell but you're the boss, its great.) N/A - Hyuponia (funny abyss axolotl, what else do you need?) Bugingi - Lognes (amazing animations, really good conept, great moveset.) Lynk - Sai (a very well known name for bosses and basically changing the game entirely, this is my favorite of his. may also add Ceae.) Bow N' Marrow - Pixel_Poke (Havent seen much of them. very cartoonish character, a little busted but they're fun.) Ms. Maribel -ViviVinya (G&W esque movement and attacks brought to another level, though technically not their OC but from an OC community.) Viselle - Reiga, Modeling-Clay (again, great design, plus potion mechanics) Carcossant - ReginaReforged, McDucky (a somewhat long haul character, but very much worth it.) And tons more, but I don't want to make this too long. Also I know it's not an OC but download Lovely Sweet Dream from ViviVinya.
The waterbottle character is OP. Not only is it nearly impossible to break down when discarded, but it pollutes our oceans on a nature threatening level.
My only complaint with Rivals of Aether is that the actual base characters are amazingly designed, but the ability to have custom characters will always be in the spotlight.
Totally agree. Sylvanos and Ori main here, still absolutely love all the base-roster characters in the game and I’m glad people still don’t overlook them

Dude I am so desensitised to all of the mods I popped off when seeing The Duane like he was some longstanding character off the franchise. With no thoughts at all about how it's a shit post mod. Truly we live in a great timeline
Yeah rivals workshop is basically mugen for smash. Even Ronald McDonald, one of the most popular workshop characters is based off a mugen version of him
something I really like the look of is that you can actually see what's happening, so many fighting games have so much happening it's really difficult to focus on it
We were never meant to see Hamtaro vs. Zangief in this timeline, but it shattered years ago, and Dunkey exploits it. For our pleasure. Praise be to Dongo.
For anyone who hasn’t tried it: some of these steam workshop custom characters have such incredibly creative move kits, as opposed to them all just being memes and references. Well worth trying if you get the chance!
@@Godspamit One of the custom rulesets for matches is "Downloadable content: enabled" :) Can play them on-line with anyone so long as both players have the same characters downloaded. Me and my friends have a Steam Collection we keep adding new ones to, it's brilliant fun until someone brings out PepsiMan.
God, I'm so glad Dunkey covered this. I found out about this game with Alphard and since then I thought it needed more praise and attention, it's sooooo good
One of the best Dunkey videos, it starts off unassuming and you begin to think “oh is this like a new mugen” but slowly and surely the fighters get more ridiculous until eventually it’s absolute lunacy
Dark, Cosmic, and Golden Ronald are also in the game as well Along with Col. Sanders complete with the same custom opening animations when Sanders and Ronald face off. In short it’s literally smash Mugen.
Rivals of Aether having mod support and a workshop is the best thing they could have ever done for that game. They made a Smash Bros. MUGEN. The amount of mods that are genuinely well made or total shitposts are insane.
Rivals Of Aether is genuinely one of the most beautiful things to ever touch gaming. To think that so many talented and even more untalented modders put in the most random, funny, overpowered, cool, and stupidest shit into one game just goes to show how powerful the internet is.

Rivals is so barebones but quality with its core mechanics that it’s easy to follow
Yo James Kidd Army™ let's gooooooooooo
2:04 excuse me?
I only like smash 64 so big agree
I have absolutely no idea what I just watched. I've left with video with more questions than anything.
We were never meant to see Hamtaro vs. Zangief in this timeline, but it shattered years ago, and Dunkey exploits it. For our pleasure. Praise be to Dongo.
For anyone who hasn’t tried it: some of these steam workshop custom characters have such incredibly creative move kits, as opposed to them all just being memes and references. Well worth trying if you get the chance!
What game is that? Rivals of Aether?
@@mellusse yes
I just wanna be Terry Hintz
The Untitled Goose from Untitled Goose Game is legitimately one of the most creative and entertaining platform fighter characters ever made.
@@Godspamit One of the custom rulesets for matches is "Downloadable content: enabled" :) Can play them on-line with anyone so long as both players have the same characters downloaded. Me and my friends have a Steam Collection we keep adding new ones to, it's brilliant fun until someone brings out PepsiMan.
Peter Griffin versus Homer Simson?
Wow this is a Multiversus killer for sure!
Louis, remember that time I fought Homer Simpson in a fanmade Smash Bros rip off?
BEEG YOSHI looks so at peace
God, I'm so glad Dunkey covered this. I found out about this game with Alphard and since then I thought it needed more praise and attention, it's sooooo good
1:15 OH SHIT what an honour!
Mama Coco and Rorschach SENT me 💀 The matchup we never knew we needed.
When ever I watch a dunkey video, I imagine it’s prince zukos nerdy brother making it.
Hat Kid fighting Obama Prism is peak internet
As the mod maker, I appreciate it for featuring Big(ger) Yoshi at 0:46, I had a feeling you'd like that one in particular.
-Though I'm surprised you went for that one instead of regular-sized Big Yoshi-
That’s me!
very true
bluy
I am very happy to be a part of this amazing game.
One of the best Dunkey videos, it starts off unassuming and you begin to think “oh is this like a new mugen” but slowly and surely the fighters get more ridiculous until eventually it’s absolute lunacy
That very specific watchmen reference in the move set scratched my brain just right
Any fighting game that has duane himself in it is a legend. No contest.
Send my regards to M.U.G.E.N
Dark, Cosmic, and Golden Ronald are also in the game as well Along with Col. Sanders complete with the same custom opening animations when Sanders and Ronald face off. In short it’s literally smash Mugen.
Now all we need are Cursor and The King
Psycho Shredder when?
@@phantomkrieger2744 i hadnt fully heard of mugen after watching a vid about it
and holy shit this rings true on a level that blows my mind
@@lobzoy search up saltybets ditto vs aladdin and have fun
Nothing gets a chuckle out of me like the high brow humor of Obamium being a playable fighter
Rivals of Aether having mod support and a workshop is the best thing they could have ever done for that game.
They made a Smash Bros. MUGEN. The amount of mods that are genuinely well made or total shitposts are insane.
I love that Waluigi is here, but he still loses to the dog from sans skeleton!
Those Luigi animations really made me laugh. He’s finally getting the respect he deserves.
That's actually Weegee, an old ass YTP meme from the early ages of youtube.
LOTSA SPAGHETTI
Snoo pingas usual I see
cool game dunkey. you’re such a good programmer. cant wait for next game
Its so awesome that dunkey makes all the games that he plays
This is a rejected adult swim parody game. He’s a bad developer!
@@AMnotQ nah your just jealous
There should be a new internet rule.
If it exists, it will appear in Rivals of Aether Workshop.
I actually just cried when Hamtaro said "it's hamtaring time"
Rivals Of Aether is genuinely one of the most beautiful things to ever touch gaming. To think that so many talented and even more untalented modders put in the most random, funny, overpowered, cool, and stupidest shit into one game just goes to show how powerful the internet is.
And 90% of the gaming community ignored this game. Cool eh.
personally i prefer the dating sim
more incredible than all these amazing modded characters is how fluid and precise the inputs are.
stock cast is also incredible
Except for hodan… unless you’re playing as him
Dunkey, you'll be regretting yourself when Reggie joins the battle
More like the crossover fighting game killer, pixel art looks great
I’ve been waiting years for a big RUclipsr to do a video on this game. I hope this reignites the modding community! I want more George Kastanza!
Is alpharad decently large? He did a bunch of vids on it.
@@art-cs6us yeah I’d consider alpharad a big youtuber
Is this Super Smash Flash 2?
@@conorcrilly6033Famous idiocy youtuber in alter-ego
@@timetravelingoldman6839 This is Rivals of Aether!
This game is truly a masterpiece but it’s missing Lex from Bookworm Adventures Deluxe™ so it’s actually a 0/10 bad game.
He is here you just have to unlock him
I love of how some are really well made and there are shitpost ones like the grandmother from coco
I've re-watched the last 30 seconds of this video about seven dozen times now
