there should be a shaggy mod for this game

Quick warning for Silica players:
Another R2 entry character by the name of Voidburn is actually capable of completely disabling Silica's FSpecial. I uploaded a GIF showing exactly what I mean. bare in mind that every instance of Silica using an FSpecial under those circumstances yielded the same result; so if you're playing Silica and match into a Voidburn, just be aware.

v Truly incredible

Overall, she's a fun character to outsmart opponents with; and even just watching her plans unfold in real time as she sways about the battlefield is something special. Outstanding work; and keep at it. I have trouble grasping that this lost to a grappler with a chair; but we can't all be Pharaohs, I guess.





P.S.: I don't like sand. It's course and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere... and it wombo comboed my mother...

As for her design, it's one of a mysterious, villainous heir that's equal parts inspired and original. It's a simple; but effective design that caught my eye instantly when I was browsing these mods. Her villainous vibes are accompanied by a constant sense of awareness. She always looks like she's planning something. Like she always knows what her opponent is thinking; and is already considering all the ways she could punish them for it. This actually makes a lot of sense, considering she has several methods of forcing the opponent to do what she wants them to. Her animations are smooth and satisfying. There was clearly a ton of thought put into them, even down to her up be throwing her sandy cloak away, letting us glimpse her actual form briefly before she cloaks herself again. She even has unique animations for being hit out of this state, which makes sense; but was still quite nice to see.

The things you can do with the hand give her a tactical, almost conniving style that's really fun to play around with. Aside from the hand, her Tilts and airs all link up really well, making her a threat to your percent even without her righthand... hand...

Here to leave a lengthy review for everyone to read:

So, she's definitely a setup character, which I typically don't care for; but this is different. Her main gimmick is her Sand Hand, which in-and-of-itself, isn't very unique. I've seen a few characters, even among Rivals 2 entries, with allies worked into their movesets; but this is the only one I actually like. Most allies hopelessly scurry around trying to follow, attacking every time you attack; and being generally confused and hard to use. This hand however, stays put unless you move it via several movement options it has. Only a few attacks make it act, which makes turning the enemy into a volleyball for easier, as I don't have to worry about being in the lag of a move I did for my ally when my enemy is thrown to me.

This better win, peak mod really enjoy it.

LOVE HER!!

and for her neutral special, she wields a gun

peak character if she doesnt win i will explode

No...

She's the 'Knuckle Sand Witch'

So they’re a sandwitch?

One of my 3 favourites of the bunch so far though I do feel like she slows the game down a lot compared to the main roster

yeah this is the best one, sand creature sweep

POCKET SAND!

your character crashes the game if i look at the alt skins

Very fun character, being able to attack, buffer projectiles, and push opponents with the sand is very satisfying and rewarding. Overall great character, only issue I have is her lacking an actual victory theme.

Really liked this character. One very major thing, though: Neutral seems to keep people perpetually trapped if you time it to the first hit. You can slap an opponent to 200% and they hardly get sent anywhere. Friend could not DI out of it, or roll out of it. The only thing that seemed to work was timing a parry, so maybe that's good enough to escape it?

great work

ok so i downloaded like 50 characters to try today for the first time to see whats on the workshop and if they was even close to balanced and so far non of them are as cool or as well put together as this one is very well done

I loved how the lore was said and done.
Happy new year to everyone.

for the rivals 2 challange

bro VAE made 4 characters

This character it´s fire, i always tought of a sand bender and THIS is just exactly how i imagined it, very good job!

Incredible character, there's never been enough wizard representation on workshop . Only things that could possibly make it more peak are maybe one more move to reposition sand (Up special maybe? Idk), and making the hand taunt too lol
