Overall, he's a different character with a design I can definitely get behind; and a playstyle that felt fresh and interesting. I'll definitely be playing more in the future; and I'm excited to see what you cook up later on.

I do have a question and a note to add:
Do you have a headcanon voice for Voidburn? If so, what is it?

Lastly, I'd like you to be aware that his goop completely debilitates another entry's (Silica's) FSpecial. I uploaded a GIF showing what I mean; and this interaction consistently yielded the same result.

As for his design:

To be honest, he isn't my favorite; but he honestly looks like something I would design for a side character of some kind. There isn't anything wrong with his design; and I do like it. It's just that some of the other entries were simply more visually stimulating. His animations fall in a similar place. They aren't bad at all. They're good. Better than some of the other entries I've played with; but, again, other entries managed to outshine this one.

Anyway, real reason I'm here is to leave is to leave a lengthy review of this little guy:

So, to start, I honestly haven't seen many characters with a mechanic like this; so forgive me if I make it seem more unique than it is. His gameplay is something I haven't experienced with another fighter in RoA. He almost feels like a reverse zoner. Rather than pick a part of the stage to defend from, tossing out projectiles and generally playing keepaway for most of the match, Voidburn has instead thrives on forcing you INTO his zone so that he can have his way. Even if you don't choose a specific part of the stage to claim, you can seize the whole battlefield; and make so much as touching the ground a threat to your opponents safety. It's a special kind of stage control that, while it takes time to adjust to, I do really like. He doesn't many reliable kill tools, from what I know, which is all the more reason to be as demanding and opportune as you can with him.

@Ashkid848, that's simply a false statement. I use an Asus ROG Zepphyrus laptop (Not sure about the ins-and-outs. I'm not a tech person); and I have yet to experience a single instance of slowdown while using this character, Now, I've yet to take him online; and I don't know if that's where you're experiencing the issues. My point is, your statement is false.

Please fix the game slowdown due to oil

There are other chars like ryholis that have terrain effects that dont lag the game; maybe if you made the oil on terrain and the seed be static and have no animations for a lite version

I have an RTX 3060 i7 32 gigs of ram

@lognes no computer can handle it if mine cant, at least release a lite version or something

It's a result of poor code optimisation
Terrain mechanics have been notoriously hard to optimise for mod creators

I'm sure there's a better way of doing it but for now people are just going to have to suffer with the slow down if their computer cant handle it

My friends have been noticing slowdown while oil is on the ground. What could be the culprit?

id kill to see this character in rivals 2

I hope they win.

Super cool i just wish there was some way to get oil on the ground without standing on the ground

brilliant character! personally i think it would be interesting if the void goo could cover up certain character's stage effects, like orcane's puddles or the polar bear's ice

The best rivals character ever!
Pls, make a stage for him

Seems like an interesting character

I already love this guy

This is great!

When I First Looked At Him I Saw Something WAY MORE Different Then What He Looks Like, For Example When I Looked At His Ears I Saw His Face.

soo basically the whole description is basically gaster?i still like it tho

Amazing. Always love an awesome story and the gameplay is just as solid.

This is actually incredible and it makes me hope rivals 2 (maybe even 3) has a new "element" of just abyss-corrupted characters that have one or two moves of their original element. Fun to play, fun to fight against, literally the only thing I think could be better would be forsburn and zetterburn fire-based attacks igniting the goop and hurting voidburn too even though I totally understand why they don't (it would make it a TERRIBLE matchup)

@Lognes I love the back story and the character design.
He really feels like an original character. Well done and much appreciated.

so the nerd became corrupted and now he fights, understood

Haha lore go BRRR-

woah longnes is back!

Goatburn

He's fun! At first he feels a little bit basic, which is fine, but after trying to experiment some he's got a lot of cool and really unique stuff going for him. He really does feel a lot like he belongs in base cast.
