If you increase the contrast, it's obvious that the Orcane skin is a pool inflatable (he has a handle near his fin, and a mouthpiece for blowing into his blowhole), but I have a hard time telling what the Olympia skin is. I'm going to assume it's some sort of Aquaman skin. The remaining skin is likely Slade's summer skin from the concept art: >>2517633

>>2518705
I don't like floorhug or cc. Although I guess you have to play the game in the first place to even know the mechanics exist the way they do

I look forward to not playing Olympia for all of June, because it's a horrifically un-fun MU for her

This is your unranked opponent for the evening, say something nice about they/them

>>2522959
>only some icons and emotes
Thank god it's not a character (yet). They wouldn't give this away if Mina was planned as a character in 2026

>>2524784
Nice ping

Wrastor is such a fucking brainless masher character, it's unreal. Anyone who actually tries to play neutral with him dies, but if you just hold forward and mash he's the easiest character in the game.

>playing randoms in unranked against a guy who mains Galvan
>game gives me Olympia (my main), gives him Galvan
>it's a struggle, but I beat him
>game gives my Forsburn (my secondary), gives him Galvan again
>it's easier than Olympia, even though I think the Forsburn:Galvan MU is worse
>game gives me Clairen, gives him Galvan AGAIN
>easily 2-stock him without breaking a sweat despite having no idea what I'm doing
Is the Clairen:Galvan MU that free, or did the game line up this statistical improbability to tell me to stop playing Olympia?

You'll get nothing, and you'll like it. You'll watch Sandstorm's Galvan-only Evo run. You'll watch as people continue to call La Reina an "honest low tier" while she DI traps people to death at 40% with uair, has pre-nerf Olympia dtilt, but better, and does 30-second gymnastics routines offstage for fun - and claim that Olympia deserves to be nerfed because she was top tier a year ago.

All Olympia players have is the company of Maypul players in the cuck shed.

That would imply 2 people still play Oly.

Oh, right. I don't know why I expected balance changes, Evo is in 3 weeks.

>events reduced to every 3 months
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People were complaining that there was too much of an emphasis on cosmetics, and they'll complain that events aren't as frequent. I still like cosmetics, so I hope that this doesn't affect the mid-month ones.

Some wrote a Clairen manifesto: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cz3eXzE5dWzNZ2I2BiI3XuBppS6W2SfND35OQqrqgjQ

>>2539815
>events reduced to every 3 months
I wonder if this is because console release soon

>>2539815
It's nice that they loaded them up with extra stuff, and it's a nice opportunity to give new colors to old skins. But what happens if you already bought the skins that are now free? Does it refund your bucks?

>>2539937
NO REFUNDS!

>>2539838
Spam it to dan

>>2539838
They posted it to Nolt, spam updoots so Dan might finally be forced to acknowledge Clairen
https://rivals-of-aether-ii-patch-160.nolt.io/738

>>2539815
They also reduced the Bucks in the pass, from 250 per month to 600 per three months, a 20% loss.
I'm mostly disappointed that, even after cutting the number of event tracks per year to a quarter of what it was, they're double dipping on a DLC character getting a free skin when some characters, including Fleet and Clairen, don't have one. Fleet and Clairen already have a Pool Party skin but we could have gotten, I dunno, Submarine Galvan or something

>>2540518
Yeah, I only recently noticed that Clairen doesn't have a free skin. I don't really mind, although I do think they should equalize the distribution of free skins, because the cosmetic system is still more robust and consumer-friendly that other games in the genre. I haven't launched SF6 in a year because DLC characters aren't free, let alone cosmetics. My concern is that I don't want event skins to be reduced to seasonal themes. There's a few outstanding "themes" that are much more interesting than the holiday slop, and I'm worried we're not going to get those now.

Speaking of skins, this patch's obligatory shop-related bug is that Lovers skins are mixed in with the summer event skins under the featured tab. If you want Zetterburn, Clairen, Olympia, or Fleet, they're all available for coins right now.

Someone needs to tell the Orcane players that "neutral" is not doing 50 different moves behind puddle and then flying across the stage

>>2541300
The Lovers skins have been purchasable with coins for a while, and they weren't delisted in May either since I bought Lovers Fleet and Night Owl Fleet with coins at the same time

Okay, yeah, I take it back. Olympia is objectively the worst character in the game right now. They took one of the only characters that could actually approach and neutered her into a bait-and-punish character with NONE of the tools that make that archetype function. Her only saving graces are gem and down special, and the former is on a cooldown and loses to basic counterplay (parry, floorhug, mashing, DI) while the latter only works on retards.
>dtilt went from one of the best moves in the game to one of the worst, constantly whiffs when you're close enough to tickle your opponent's taint
>nair went from one of her best approaching / neutral options to a joke move that opponents fall out of constantly
>ftilt is useless
>utilt and uair are still decent, but they're only two decent moves
>fair and dair are slow and get beaten by shield
>literally every button she presses on shield is beaten by buffered shieldgrab except perfectly spaced ftilt (which is beaten by wavedash OoS) and fair
>has no pokes
>has no neutral tools except a projectile with a cooldown
>effectively has no strong attacks, every single one has an unusable risk:reward ratio except ustrong, which is weak as shit
Literally all this character can do now is spam full hop bair while you pray that the opponent is retarded enough to not know to shield the jab / utilt follow-up... and grab, which every character can do. She serves no fucking purpose.

>>2541639
Retard here, how do I stop getting schmixed by her down-special
She keeps using it like an airdash

>>2541666
It doesn't actually do anything except punish you for over-respecting it. There's only two options if she cancels it in the air: either she dashes in, or she dashes out. If she dashes in, note the timing with which she does it and try to intercept the dash with a noncommittal anti-air or aerial if she does it again. Using FADC to approach does nothing to mitigate how susceptible she is to being stuffed when approaching; even if you don't stuff her approach clean, you'll trade. If she trades, she's fucked: every other character's hitboxes beat her nair (too small) and fair (too slow), and she's forced to fall to the ground before she can do anything else. If you trade, mash your best button. If she dashes out, literally nothing happens. Maybe she'll gem toss. If she's using it as an air dash to extend advantage, there's really nothing you can do except DI better to begin with or throw out an attack if you think it'll beat her extension.

It's the same shit for grounded FADC: if you think she's going to dash in, delay your attack so you're hitting her during the dash. I think it's most effective if you use it as a parry (like Yoshi's double jump parry) or to extend the threat range of dash attack against passive opponents. If it's an Olympia that likes to fish for shield breaks, never roll against grounded down special, especially if they've demonstrated that they can FADC on reaction. Just jump away or, better, grab her.

Multi-hits also shut it down in the air or on the ground.

>>2541639
>ftilt is useless
Not true, it's now her most consistent kill option, since her strongs are all unusable. Of course, she has to get her opponent to 170+ for it to actually kill, or far more if they're a heavy.

>>2541810
I feel like it's only usable if you catch your opponent jumping with jab. Jab doesn't consistently confirm into it if they're grounded, and the only other times I use it are as a 2-frame at the ledge, or out of wavedash / FADC (which usually get punished). I went to get check its frame data on Dragdown and lmao @ the description
>For a safer poke, Olympia prefers Down Tilt in most situations.
>dtilt
>poke

Who's the most free character in the game if I don't want to play Clairen? I'm not THAT much of a massive faggot.

>>2545240
I'd probably say Zetterburn. His gimmick is easy to understand, and basically just rewards you for playing the way you already should be. He's loaded top to bottom with easy combos, and is unlikely to ever see a nerf.

>>2545240
Pick La Reina and learn how to kill at 45% with UAir chains

>>2547146
That's 100% going to get patched at some point.

>male characters have full body models, albeit with black voids to texture them out

They know what the Internet would do if they were fully modeled I guess, though people made bottomless Absa even without this model data

>>2550445
dont cherry pick.
Also base models for every character exists if you look for it.

>>2551078
>base models for every character exists if you look for it
Guess I haven't looked nearly hard enough, I appreciate being corrected
Maybe it's because I was looking through the modkit that I didn't find these

>>2551183
Those are not originals but community made. Someone said that during playtests they had full base models in files, but I think he was full of shit. Maybe ill check my old leaked version.

>>2551240
>Those are not originals but community made.
Fuck, should have known from the fact that Clairen has breasts

>>2551240
>Those are not originals but community made.
This game has a community?

So much stored milk

This reminds me
Has anyone done something this for any of the forwardports of the custom characters?

File: 1754191970122214.png (1.5 MB)

People say this game's scene is infested with trannies like Melee locals, but I swear every time I check a tournament stream it's just the 4 most milquetoast dudes you've ever seen

I actually like that this game's community is so small that I can watch a tournament and see multiple players who have beat my ass online

>Watching BoBC
>Watching Oly players attempt to win anything

Truly the saddest thing I've ever witnessed.

>>2556293
I accidentally clicked the leaderboard instead of unranked earlier, and scrolled down out of curiosity. There are 2 Olympias in the top 100, not including Corncycle who dropped her for La Reina, and only 1 of them has her above 50% usage. Here are some other numbers
>5 Absa
>6 Etalus
>3 La Reina
>8 Orcane
>8 Wrastor
>0 Slade
Pretty impressive for a character who's seemingly so popular.

>>2518494
op forgot to name the thread, i genuinely couldn't find it

Plup's top 5, ordered:
1.) Fleet
2.) Zetterburn
3.) Ranno
4.) Clairen
5.) Orcane
