The children yearn for Animation Showdown.

So here are some more Animation Showdown concepts for the soul (+ a Tier List for the Starters)

Marvel Smash Bros-like game idea based primarily on the comics. In my headcanon the game came out in 2007 for that Ultimate Alliance/PS2 movie game era vibe

Not every character has the luxury of 8 unique costumes to choose from so I got less ambitious with the next ones.

I had a very inspired idea for the fantastic four as a pokémon trainer style switching fighter so maybe I’ll do that next

Melee is such a funny game cause the top tiers are some of the most powerful and expressive characters you’ll ever see in a fighter and then the bottom tiers will have like 2 good moves and border on being nonfunctional

With multiversus dead we now get treated to the fun and exciting next few months of people who only play smash completely misdiagnosing what went wrong with MVS and making wild assumptions while completely missing all the other plat fighters that did what they didnt like about MVS and did fine.

"Oh why oh why must every platform fighter have wavedashing, the casuals could never go for this" meanwhile rivals is out here doing well, slap city preformed decently, and brawlhalla is doing great, all with easy versions of wavedashing that actually make the game easier to play on the whole. Like, maybe actually its more "competitive" to need to learn to pivot cancel if you want to do the same thing you can accomplish with two buttons in other games. Wavedashing makes the game more fun, that's why it is always included. "the casuals though, they dont want to learn to wavedash" and they don't have to. Also MVS didnt have wavedashing and it was slow as shit why is wavedashing being brought up when talking about it.

"Why do games that aren't smash ALWAYS fail." I am gonna scream. Play a second game in the genre I beg of you.

istg platform fighters are the only genre where people see an optional advanced mechanic and get mad and i dont get how that is the popular opinion on the genre. Its rare to see someone say dark souls game will fail cause there's speedrun tech. Mario oddessy didnt fail cause it had optional advanced jumps. It was praised for that.

And then there's people with no understanding of budget. MVS could not afford to have a whole story mode. Platform fighters on the whole cant have big story modes cause 99% of them dont have big budgets except smash, which ALSO doesnt do story modes anymore (world of light doesn't count cause it is not fun). Except for slap city which totally does have a really fun subspace style story mode which none of these video essayists and commenters ever bring up when making this argument cause they do not play other platform fighters.

MVS failed cause it was greedy and the gameplay wasn't very fun for most people. NASB also failed cause it wasn't fun. It really isnt complicated. There are legitimate problems with both these games, and the genre as a whole (one area where i really agree with these people is that i think stage layouts in modern plat fighters are super boring and the wacky stages use being uncompetitive as an excuse to do unfun disruptive stuff) however if you still call platform fighters "smash clones" unironically please try a second game in the genre before trying to comment on the genre as a whole. It's like someone who has only ever eaten shrimp trying to diagnose why all seafood tastes bad except for shrimp. Please, rivals of aether is really good. I promise wavedashing isn't gonna kill you.

Oceanic Breeze

Rivals of Aether

Composed by flashygoodness.

Orcane, the water spirit of Joy, returns from Rivals of Aether to Rivals 2!

As one of the original four rivals, and the definitive water rival, Orcane has been a long awaited character to return.

This piece is what I'd call Orcane's unofficial theme, which has a pretty chill melody and composition that feels like a seaside village.
