Baalf 14 Sep, 2022 @ 11:53am 
Not bad. Plays well, sprites are decent for the most part. Good job.

Awesome character, please nerf uspecial though
Jeimix 28 Feb, 2022 @ 9:47am 
Really hope to see some Megaman X4 bosses as playable characters in this game, like Magma Dragoon, Frost Walrus or Slash Beast, amazing mods and keep up with the good work!

This character is so much fun and my friend and I have put in HOURS of dittos with this character. I hope the person who made this character is doing well, they made something that provided me and a friend a ton of enjoyment

*Tidal Whale

Odd question but what supports does this funky fresh whale bot have?
tripulld3 28 Sep, 2020 @ 4:09am 
i get he is in an advantage monster but he should really get an improved recovery
not by much
just to not be impossible to recover against basic edgeguarding
zero 11 Aug, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
nice but could you make him as a boss fight? would be great
Leo Luster! 9 Jun, 2020 @ 3:31pm 
thank you for updating this character! i love him so much.

Up special is really spammable, its either you DI in and keep getting hit or DI out and die at 70. Ice cube also needs to be nerfed as he can use it as a shield due to it not being able to be parried and it being hard to break when he is also coming at you with other attacks.
mizuno 24 May, 2020 @ 7:15pm 
he's a pretty good character. other than the fact that he's called DUFF MCWHALEN
DoomBox 25 Apr, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
awesome fighter
WingsOfVenus 21 Apr, 2020 @ 5:13am 
His USpecial is really spamable with a large hit box, combined with a spike at the end. Overall is great, this is just the biggest issue I see. Would recommend adding like 3 frames or so of end lag on the land so the opponent can get their barings.

You know there are better mega man x bosses you could have picked like from 4
Lao Gan Ma 10 Mar, 2020 @ 8:31pm 
dude this is the reason I got the game

yes

Tidal Whale more like DUFF MCWHALEN
Silver1989 3 Feb, 2020 @ 5:00pm 
I believe he's Tidal Makkoeen in Japanese. It's the name I prefer honestly because for some reason the X5 bosses are all music references instead of having the normal format that's in every other game, as if they're Stands or something lol
alwaysintheway 25 Jan, 2020 @ 4:15pm 
HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN. WHO THE HELL IS TIDAL MAKKOEEN
Leo Luster! 22 Jan, 2020 @ 9:05am 
Super duper cool!
i love his waveshine :3c
hope he gets updated soon!
Ashen Two 19 Jan, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
He is perfect
RedPandaPaws 28 Dec, 2019 @ 3:50pm 
His Up-Special is so huge, very abusable. :steamsalty:
Rumi 21 Dec, 2019 @ 8:18pm 
are you in the extended workshop discord?
JustAnAcorn 3 Dec, 2019 @ 4:44pm 
Stupidly fun. I love the build-a-combo gameplay, chaining uairs into fair chains into dair spikes. 11/10
Spindles 1 Dec, 2019 @ 2:11am 
Excellent job with this. I never would have expected to see this fella as a fighter, but you've certainly nailed him and I'm happy to see him again outside of X5 :sfsmile:
YOSH 28 Nov, 2019 @ 5:49am 
Welp I'll be having Mega Man vs. Duff McWhalen now.
KashinDolly 27 Nov, 2019 @ 11:01am 
Ah alright then. Guess I'll move one of the 'has no sprites' ones back there instead.
Harbige12  [author] 27 Nov, 2019 @ 11:01am 
I have a PSA:
The last workshop item you downloaded will be unselectable as of game version 1.5.9. Changing the order from the Steam Workshop menu in Extras should work. This seems to be a bug with the game.
KashinDolly 27 Nov, 2019 @ 10:58am 
Thanks for that. He honestly looks really good and I'm excited to try him out
Harbige12  [author] 27 Nov, 2019 @ 10:46am 
Sorry about this character being unselectable. I'm fixing this right now.
KashinDolly 27 Nov, 2019 @ 10:28am 
Hey uh, for some reason I can't actually play as this character in practice mode? Like it literally just doesn't let me select him
Frogtron 26 Nov, 2019 @ 4:04pm 
I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS VERY EXCITED TO TRY OUT

And you know what? The guy's name is Duff McWhalen. When you get up to actually fighting Duff- McWhalen- it turns out that he's really fucking easy. His stage is a total piece of shit to get through, but the you have to fight Duff McWhalen. And you know what Duff McWhalen's fight is? It's really freaking easy. And his name is Duff Mc-fucking-Whalen, by the way. So once you beat Duff McWhalen, you know what you get? You know what you get? You know what you get? You get a shitty weapon. A shitty, STUPID weapon that has absolutely no effect on you. HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN. H-HIS NAME- I LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT THINKING ABOUT THIS! HIS NAME IS DUFF MCWHALEN! WHAT IS THIS? HIS NAME! IS DUFF! MCWHALEN!

Ever since the first video game, Road Rash for the Atari Jaguar was released, no one would ever think that video games would come to a point like this. This is Duff McWhalen. Duff McWhalen is a clear reference to Guns & Roses. And you know what- And you know what Guns & Roses has to do with Mega Man? Nothing. It has NOTHING to do with Mega Man. And his name is Duff McWhalen. His stage is an underwater scrolling stage, so already, you have a scrolling stage and a underwater stage. And his name is Duff McWhalen by the way. And you know- and you know what- you know what? Capcom got really lazy here. And you know what you listen to when you're in this stage? You listen to a remix of Bubble Crab, from Mega Man X2.
Shock 22 Nov, 2019 @ 4:03am 
this is officially the best rivals mod ever
SleepyStein 22 Nov, 2019 @ 12:47am 
Man if you made these sprites for this character I would love to see you do either X and/or Zero. I was expecting a laugh at of this one but this is a very competent character with amazing sprite work that matches the game. Fantastic job.
Flowslikepixelz 21 Nov, 2019 @ 10:19pm 
This guy looks like a boss character.

...Awesome.
frig 21 Nov, 2019 @ 6:56pm 
this fucking owns
Bennie 21 Nov, 2019 @ 3:50pm 
I love the idea behind this!
This is so incredibly cool!
I only feel like a few of the moves lack the oomph you'd feel with such a big character.
Specifically Down air, Forward smash, and back air.
also, the time before he can use down special after using side special is very big.. maybe decrease that?
Maybe have him able to have 2 ice blocks out at once?
lastly, up special should have more stiffness maybe? (as in it goes up as soon as you press the button(like squirtle from smash))
Sackbot bbq 21 Nov, 2019 @ 2:03pm 
Not a Mega Man X fan or Guns and Roses, But YES, VERY YES, THANKS FOR THIS!!! :lunar2019crylaughingpig:
