Rivals of Aether

Hey, you there! Do you like Smash Bros? Do you have Steam? Are you not a filthy casual scrublord? Then Rivals of Aether is the game for you! Recently released on Steam Early Access, Rivals of Aether is a 2D arena fighter, very similar to smash brothers. One may even call it a "rip-off". It was made using GameMaker Studio, a software I use from time to time. This game really inspires me to try and make more with the program, too bad I'm a lazy scrub with no talent.

BUT YEAH, RIVALS OF AETHER! All of the characters feel really good to play as, and they're all really strong. None of the characters feel weaker than another, I've been wrecked online by each character at least once. My personal favorite is Wrastor, mostly because he's a bird. He can jump 4 times in a row, and can use his strong (Or Smash attack) in the air, but doesn't have one on the ground. If I were to describe him, I'd say hes a combination of Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Falco and Marth from the Smash Bros. Games. He's a really good character for me, mostly because I tend to jump more than I should in fighting games. I'm starting to also like playing as Frosburn, due to his smoke ability, and knives. Knives are fun.

Wrastor, that one character I was talking about. Look at how sexy he is, it's a bird with a scarf.
Who doesn't like birds? And SCARVES?

 I do feel like some characters are a bit easier to play as, though. For example, the character Zetterburn is a fairly easy to use character who can burn opponents and kill really early compared to other characters. Meanwhile, we have characters like Orcane and Maypul who are really complex, it would take a lot of time to learn how to practice and play as these characters. However, I've barely see anyone play them online, including me! I can't deny I never use them, nor do I feel like learning to use them. I myself prefer characters I don't have to try very hard to use! I'm not very good at this game...

And there you have rivals of Aether. I think it's a pretty dang fun game, and I reccomend you try it out sometime. We could even fight eachother if you have the game using online! I need someone to play against who isn't some guy who's 5 times better than me online and has a potato for a router. Laggy matches aren't fun for anyone.
