whoa, pretty cool! I vibe with her design; there aren't enough country girls in this game!! I think this is the first time I see a character with tough guy, too. ...Tough girl? lol

I have some bits of constructive criticism though:
*Her offsets in a bunch of animations are really off-center; it's most noticeable with land and jumpstart — her crouch uses the same sprites as her land animation, and yet the land one, when compared to her crouch, is sooo far forward. It worsens her gamefeel a little.

*I feel like her shorthop is too short! Her aerials have close to no time to breathe! In case it's like this so she can land fast as well, don't forget there's always hitfalling! Hitfalling off a shorthop doesn't really work rn because you almost always start falling before the attacks come out.

*F-Air has a huge blindspot right in front of her; between her body and her hand.

Each of these consists of some line changes, so they shouldn't be too troublesome, hopefully...

Sad she's not in the roster for the Genesis thing. She seems like a nice character. Do you best with the contest! With lots of love! <3

I really find Gretchen a really distinct and really cool heavy weight tank, I kind of have some small little polish notes that I wish where fixed like the fact that her land time is 4 instead of 6, every heavy weight in rivals has a land time of 6 to make them feel heavier in movement. Another thing is to replace the dair hit effect with a default one since the electric hit effect always looks more like a sandbert left over rather than a strong hit. If you consider the feedback thank you. I'll hopefully have some more feedback soon.

@crismrhach Your speaking nothing but fax bro. Wes is obviously gonna win but if I were to pick I think I would take Rosso over him.

Plays decent. I like the potential behind it. F-Air is a bit too slow. Speeding it up would give her something to work off of a insanely good moonwalk.

Not feeling the Spreadshot for a Neutral Special. Making her Neutral Special the Watermelon toss would definitely balance her kit out.

Congrats on the mod and best of luck with the contest. Definitely one of the characters I'm rooting for!

Also to everyone mentioning a "Waft Mechanic" if you actually stopped wining and actually PLAYED this character you would almost immediately find out that it is anything but that.

My experience with Gretchen:
She is overall fun to play as, with her moveset having a lot of range to make up for her otherwise sluggish mobility. (heh)
She gives off what I could describe as a boss, but is balanced enough to be good for competitive play. Her Burst mechanic is also very good for keeping her more powerful moves at a fair level.
A few critiques I have are that certain animations need a bit more work, and certain moves would probably require some more sounds and effects (I.E. Dash Attack lacks any audio)

On top of that, I also think Gretchen has a very based design and you should be very proud! You did a really good job on this! :steamthumbsup:

Alright, here's my review.
She's got a neat play style, leaning more on attack than movement, I like it! I especially like the watermelon toss, it takes some careful planning to execute well.
She seems like a cute and fun character in general, really.
Sure, she could probably use a few animation tweaks and polishes, but y'all in the comments crying fat fetish are crazy.

''Also if my character wins, please give her a soft-spoken country southern valley accent.'' Bro thinks he will win LMAO. There is no way this shit wins against legends like Wes and Rosso
chrismrhach 12 Dec, 2023 @ 3:52am 
This feels wrong. Waft, FATASS, and even more make this look like some fetish disguised as a character. If you want a heavy oc try out wally he's way better
chrismrhach 12 Dec, 2023 @ 3:50am 
If this wins i will commit unspeakable crimes

never mind the slime meter is just some wario waft shit this design is probably fat fetish and slug transformation fetish shit anyways
chrismrhach 10 Dec, 2023 @ 4:50pm

[BAG] Duh Binky 9 Dec, 2023 @ 7:18am 
this design gives off very odd red flags. :dmc5_white_orb:
Theodore Masters Peterson 8 Dec, 2023 @ 4:21pm

Theodore Masters Peterson 8 Dec, 2023 @ 4:20pm

Monika 8 Dec, 2023 @ 8:33am
