I came here to see if the spam Rude Buster... "strategy" was a known thing, but now I see that it is a matter of hot debate lol.

If gerson WERE to be nerfed, I say we (yes we) would all love atleast an "Old/Prebalance Gerson" mod, or if possible, just a skin that's called "Lore Accurate Gerson" or something. So both sides get to enjoy the character.

Side special is the most broken move he has. Its massive, travels really fast and can be easily spammable.
Lorant The Almighty 28 Sep @ 9:52am 
people say he needs a nerf
i say he is lore accurate

I will say that, his buster needs to be nerfed in some way its an extremely great move but add in just a bit more lag or a limit would do wonders. i do think his shell move on the other hand can be done a bit better where there is 2 variations one with the regular shell and the other one could be the bigger shell or the little stars. i will also say his jabs go crazy because of how fast they are.
hes an extremely well made character all in all though

This character needs to be nerfed to the ground.
◘ Wut? ◘ 25 Sep @ 8:06pm 
As a suggestion I guess? I would say that rude busters cd should be long enough for it to be punishable with a parry
◘ Wut? ◘ 25 Sep @ 7:46pm 
Hey! I really like this! BUT I would honestly hope that you could balance out the rude buster move? (forward special) ... pleasseeee? :bbtagruby:

Great mod, even though it's poorly made, it's actually a well-made character, you should make it so that his hammer hitbox can repell (resend) any projectile back to the person like VS susie lol, or simply just eradicate it

wolfzero762, That's because they closed the Roaring Knight beta (Sonic.exe was used as the method.)
wolfzero762 19 Sep @ 7:12pm 
why is sonic.exe here? he appears when I select the roaring knight and gerson

add rort nite next

Suggestion:
Perhaps make one of the attacks where he swings the hammer down actually deflect projectiles similar to how he reflects Susie's Rude Buster.

Ok new update (v1.1)

So the most changed move was side special. Let's talk about it.

if the opponent was on freefall side special didn't undo that before, now it does, i thought this was a feature to get some funny kills.

Instead now side special has a much stronger knockback getting K.O.s actually by just landing one or two. Also longer

honestly i want to ask for the old side special to come back, it just gave gerson so many silly K.O.s, maybe as some abyss runes? like a 3 slot rune that's like "side special doesn't cancel freefall" and a 2 slot rune that's like "side special cooldown & end lag reduced" so it's possible to have it as an option (although maybe slightly stronger and quicker than the original v1.0, as playing with runes means the opponent will have them as well)

TLDR: Overall, new side special is better, but old side special was funnier, so I propose buffing the old one and adding it as a rune or maybe two.

Why do the communitys of deltarune or undertale spoil some major things
Retro_Nitro™[TTV/YT] 9 Sep @ 7:59am 
Definitely add a cooldown to "Green" Buster
And make those up tils and up airs useful at all, any curve or size to them would help

I absolutely LOVE this character. I'M OLD!/10. However.. there's quite a few flaws with it that I'd like to suggest changes for! (Some of these changes have probably been suggested in one way or another, so apologies)

Neutral Special - Maybe add a variant where you hold it for more projectiles? (And possibly have him jump from left to right like he does in Deltarune)
Side Special - PLEASE add a cooldown. The fact that it can actually kill pretty much makes the endlag irrelevant, and you can still spam it. Or, maybe, rework the attack into being a bullet hell minigame?
Down Special - Try to make it possible to aim the shell? I don't know.
Up Strong - Change what it is. It's quite busted at higher percents. Maybe a combo starter?
Up Air - Rework it entirely, preferably. It's just not good enough to be used at all.
Dash Attack - Nerf the damage, you can quite literally spam it and combo opponents to (if not, then nearly) Up Smash's kill percent. Or you could give it some endlag.

Comment part 2 of 2

Some last things that would be really fun is enabling Rude Buster to be parry-able initiating a kind of rude Buster tennis as seen in the Gerson fight. Also stuff like being able to hit all of Gersons shells with his hammer making them bounce in different directions.

I should say that Upair is a bit underpowered. It would be good to add a bit more oomph. I also like some of the other ideas coming out of the community and would supports those changes to this and other moves.

I really must reiterate, your mod is amazing. It has been really fun to see Gerson come to life in this fighting game. Thank you.

Comment part 1 or 2

Hello, your Hammer of Justice mod is amazing but I have a few ideas to make it even better:
For Upstrong instead of throwing a hammer up it could be one of those bouncy shells which could bounce a few times dealing damage and then vanish. Using Downair on the shell could send it straight to the ground exploding it into little stars

Also Gerson’s Green Rude Buster attack could put a green soul indicator over the target similar to other UT/DR mods. When the green soul is active, using Sidestrong could initiate a command grab where you do a mini game (like the one in the roaring knight beta mod) sending arrows from different directions and the target has to block it. This would be good because it references the arrow attack used frequently in the Gerson fight.

10/10 mod it fixed my skill issue and rebuilt my kids
Fleety 5 Sep @ 8:47pm 
i will say, the moveset has potential, but the knockback on a lot of these attacks aree... strange

things like the rude buster and the hammers from the neutral special dont have actual knockback, the hammers dont do anything in terms of knockback, and the rude buster does send the enemy up, but it doesnt do actual knockback that does hitstun or anything, thus they kinda just... fly up, and it doesnt kill until much later percentages that make it a little ridiculous

i love the idea of the moveset, but it needs some adjustment, keep at it, so far, all that really needs to be done is some adjustments with the properties of some attacks hitting :cupup:

GYAH HA HA!
veryhumandesign 5 Sep @ 1:36pm 
holy shit he's SO broken all of his moves almost perfectly combo into each other or themselves, including his side smash and dash attack spin, which when combined basically allow you to spin to win until kill % and your opponent gets three-stocked or finally parries you
