probably one of the best and most detailed combo-type characters i have ever seen
Bar-Kun  [author] 9 Oct @ 5:30am 
thank you! glad you like him
i'm not planning to work on mods for rivals anymore however, i've been shifting towards full on game dev for a while now so i don't have the time or will to go back

even then i'd rather do more things than just sonic characters/creepypastas lol
but green mountain is pretty cool

Best Sonic character in RoA so far imo.

Btw what you think of what you think of [Sonic (End) / Green Mountain Sonic]? If you decided to make him that is.
Bar-Kun  [author] 9 Oct @ 12:33am 
you do have far/quick tap nspecial and uncharged fspecial to do the same thing though

i felt like the old fair boost kinda made those harder to justify in the kit which is why i thought about changing it

since sonic is a character that rewards combos (with boost mode), giving him a move that combos for him is a bit counterintuitive imo

I agree with spirex2009. The forward air was great for movement and and in some cases, recovery. Very fun to use before.
spirex2009 5 Oct @ 7:39pm 
Still is a great character I have main him since he came out
spirex2009 5 Oct @ 7:35pm 
Could you give him Atleast a bit of momentum or something in between if not could you make the the enemy doesn’t fall down the attack at high speed (if it’s not possible is ok)
Bar-Kun  [author] 5 Oct @ 11:49am 
honestly i kinda got used to the new one and i actually quite like it, since you could just quickly double tap nspec for the same boost

so while the old version is on the super sonic abyss rune i don't think i plan on bringing this back but eh, you never know tbh
spirex2009 5 Oct @ 10:11am 
could you bring it back the old fair momentum it was very fun to use and a great mobility option
Bar-Kun  [author] 3 Oct @ 1:11pm 
glad you guys like him btw!

thought i should point out that i did actually try to do a mockup of the soap shoes on sonic before but i felt like it's barely noticeable compared to his regular shoes
Majin_Haseo 3 Oct @ 12:59pm 
my favorite mod, i pretty much use sonic every match. i know it's not likely to happen, but i'd kill for a soap shoes variant.
ChoppyMonster 25 Sep @ 7:27am 
This sonic feels like how sonic should have been in smash bros. and if I’m being honest, this is by far my favorite sonic to use in rivals
Bar-Kun  [author] 20 Sep @ 7:40am 
it should transition from the old lord X to the newest version if you're in a timed match
otherwise it just uses the more common version of him
gold 19 Sep @ 10:54pm 
I've seen there's a lord X variant, how do you get the actual old lord x one? i've been playing with him and winning, and then out of nowhere the next round i was a dark-color lord X.
dark_cart287 14 Sep @ 7:56pm 
Bar-Kun, thanks for letting me know. Its not too big a deal, I was just mainly curious since I noticed it was harder to start combos without it. Nevertheless, great mod.
Bar-Kun  [author] 14 Sep @ 5:28am 
thanks VB, i just don't see the reason to make a 2017X alt cuz it really would just be a grayscale sonic lol

as for dark_cart287, yes the forward air was patched to remove the forward boost, pretty experimental change but right now i can't do anything about it cuz of sonic being a part of a major bracket
idk what will be the result of if it will be kept, changed back or somewhere in the middle so don't hold onto it too hard
VB 13 Sep @ 10:59pm 
2017x has so much aura tho, jokes aside this is easily the best sonic mod on the workshop. Glad you're working on animation vs can't wait til release
dark_cart287 13 Sep @ 5:23pm 
bar-kun, did you change sonic's movement? usually when using forward attack in the air (the spinning kick), you'd get launched forward. i haven't played in like about 2 - 3 weeks since today, but now when i use it, i don't get forward?
Bar-Kun  [author] 8 Sep @ 4:48pm 
no
Doorbell 7 Sep @ 5:16pm 
I love this but please make a 2017x skin
Bar-Kun  [author] 6 Sep @ 4:30pm 
you're welcome sonimatic14

also i don't know what you mean MLGsupersonicgamer
which attack is the basic attack that has broken sprites and how does it "kick you out"?
MLGSuperSonicGamer 6 Sep @ 3:04pm 
sonic's basic attack sprite is broken and everytime i use it it just kickes me out the fight
sonimatic14 6 Sep @ 7:02am 
Just getting into workshop stuff and this character plus the amazing windy valley stage made me legitimately start crying. My whole life I've been waiting for a version of sonic in a fighting game that feels like the sonic I grew up with and this mod feels like he never left and he's always been here just like I've always remembered. Thank you so much
Bar-Kun  [author] 2 Sep @ 11:53am 
yeah, it's not recommended cuz... yknow changing your system time and all but that's how it works
kingmullet 1 Sep @ 3:41pm 
so if I change my system time I can keep using the Lord X alt outside of its actual period?
Bar-Kun  [author] 28 Aug @ 12:59pm 
oh no worries no disrespect taken, i'll keep note of this and see how we go about it after vortex

thanks again!
Kyahaha 28 Aug @ 12:36pm 
What made forward air unique was its forward momentum, making it a committal move. It had strong burst and recovery utility, but the active hitbox was parry-prone and sometimes carried Sonic into bad spots. It was strong, but not brainless. I often preferred nair or ftilt since one was safer and the other racked up damage well (old ftilt was surprisingly versatile).

I don’t agree that forward air overshadowed forward or neutral special. While Fair and Fspec traveled similar arcs, Fspec was usually my go-to, often nuking stocks at 100% near ledge. Nspec, meanwhile, reliably forced opponents further offstage and spiked with safety.

No disrespect intended. I just wanted to post my perspective. Do what you feel is right.
Bar-Kun  [author] 28 Aug @ 11:37am 
i'll be honest, i've had problems with that move for a long time and didn't really know what to do with it
the move was way too strong for what it gave sonic:
- very active
- multihits on a character that his main mechanic involves doing combo hits to get to a stronger state
- a burst option
it overshadowed other moves in the kit like fspec and nspec so i felt like something needed to change

for now we'll see how it goes and how more people feel about it, since sonic will be in the vortex gallery 2025 bracket i won't be able to push any patches but another patch is already worked on (not by me i don't have the time)

thanks for the feedback regardless i appritiate it
Kyahaha 27 Aug @ 5:09pm 
I'm ok with a majority of these changes, but I feel the forward air nerf wasn't the way. The unorthodox movement options & controls made Sonic a really fun spin on the Rushdown character. The forward air change I feel betrays this for something more standard.
clarkchristine127 4 Aug @ 8:22pm 
not going to lie though...That lord X skin is awesome. the super form is my favorite part along with how he starts.
Artisan Main 1 Aug @ 3:01pm 
darn alright, mod rocks though! wish you well man
Bar-Kun  [author] 1 Aug @ 10:26am 
i can't it relies on your system time
Artisan Main 31 Jul @ 11:33pm 
trynna use the lord X skin since it just became august for me and it keeps crashing my friend whos behind my timezone, could you fix that?
Bar-Kun  [author] 25 Jul @ 4:45pm 
i'm not planning to update sonic anymore unless it's for balance/bugfixing
Digital 25 Jul @ 2:26pm 
Please add a Ashura skin
AuraJammer 22 Jul @ 5:00pm 
oh snap i forgot that s-ranks didnt exist on adventure titles
SpacyHorizon457 18 Jul @ 3:23am 
Yeah thats fair, Ive been trying to get a video of this bug for the past couple hours but cant seem to replicate it now that i actually want to, but once i do get a video of it ill make sure to come back here and let you know
Bar-Kun  [author] 18 Jul @ 12:34am 
video would be useful
i'm pretty busy to go ahead and patch sonic myself but i can at least ask someone else to do it
SpacyHorizon457 17 Jul @ 5:16pm 
if you would like i can try to get a screenshot or video of it happening to show you
Bar-Kun  [author] 17 Jul @ 9:07am 
news to me, never heard of this happening
SpacyHorizon457 17 Jul @ 6:07am 
Is there a known bug with this that makes him spawn slightly above the ground and keeps him floating until he dies? i cant seem to play my first stock on any maps without floating. i cant use his tornado ability while hes like this
Bar-Kun  [author] 16 Jul @ 11:46am 
S ranks didn't exist on the adventure titles
AuraJammer 16 Jul @ 10:13am 
i know its too much work and everything, but in a future update can you add the S Rank?
Shuhkky 29 May @ 2:08am 
Pretty cool character, very fun to use
Bar-Kun  [author] 25 May @ 3:45pm 
no
enchant 25 May @ 2:59pm 
is there a way to shift to super sonic from regular sonic mid match without chaos emerald buddy, by just getting boost meter filled or something -- like 20th alt skin into dark sonic? cant figure itout
Bar-Kun  [author] 24 May @ 3:38pm 
read notable features i'm tired of answering this question
nsrisser 24 May @ 12:24pm 
Where's the illegal instruction coloration? I can't find it.
B 17 May @ 7:13pm

Bar-Kun  [author] 16 May @ 12:26am
