what I wouldn't do to get a better and more HD version of my ro-boy!

so up smash and bair just gets worse with the upgrades is that intended?

A custom sprited Quote is in development. When it's available I don't know though.

i did say that i was still interested in working on this character, didn't i?
i don't think that's true anymore. i'll update the description.

However, any steps toward such a prospect would necessitate excessive custom spriting for hitherto nonexistent animations. The prospect intimidates me, and my coding knowledge being limited as it is, I doubt I'll ever see such a thing come to fruition.

One day, I'd like to see a Quote that's more customized toward Rivals, rather than a direct import. It would have less room for references, but potentially be more fun to play as and against. I imagine proper jab mechanics would either rely on Sword or require actual punching; I personally lean toward the latter, since Sword seems an ideal strong.

On the other hand, some of the alterations stand out. I was surprised that weapons power up from successful hits; I'd been anticipating a collectibles mechanic like Shovel Knight's, and I believe such would have made for better balancing. I had also expected the Booster to act as a double jump (without significant lift, more reference than mechanic), and the LV 3 Machine Gun as an up-special (specifically with Curly making a short-term appearance for the move, since Quote can't have both the Polar Star and the Machine Gun at the same time).

This is a serviceable build, and I'm glad it exists. It doesn't fit into the standard Rivals gameplay very well, and this is mostly due to incompatible mechanics from the source material. Right now, every move is a projectile; this is accurate to the source material, but makes the character OP against most characters (especially in regards to infinite LV 3 Missiles for side-special). Ironically, the character is completely useless against Clarien for the same reason.

hes too big and too weak easily levels down

a very fun and cool character! well designed, only gripe is perhaps worth a re-sprite to make it fit in with the ROA cast

i think his level 1 jab/ftilt needs a nerf, i can true combo any character with that move until i'm level 2, racking up an easy 60%

Feels like a belmont 10/10

A cave story+ skin would be pretty neat

yo its me!
This is epic

A Curly Brace alt skin would be cool

There is a glitch where if you hit a Level 3 Knife on an opponent, the rumble with go to max on a gamepad and will not stop until Quote loses a stock. Besides that, this is a perfect character!

this character gets demolished by Clairen down b

I really like this character, you really captured the feeling of playing Cave Story. The only thing I ask is for a version which has the newer sprites (Cave Story +). Thank you.

Love his moveset a lot but hes way too big.

i'm absolutely loving this character man, brilliant work, he feels exactly like he does from cave story :D

playing him in rivals feels amazing but i find myself playing in a very campy way; if there's any way to create experience/ammo pickups similar to shovel knight's treasure mechanic, I think that would help to combat promoting a campy playstyle. having to come into close range of your enemies to receive experience/ammo rather than spamming from a distance is much more engaging and adds risk to the reward. the missiles are borderline busted at level three without a punishment for spamming them and i think you could get around that by making the player take their shots carefully by conserving ammo.

just shrink him a little. pretty bigger, but other than that... he's perfect.

Its very faithful to the source material. Sounds gotta be louder tho. Drop it an audacity and hit it with amplify. I'll do it for you if you need.

Very well made. Although I may suggest that you add an ammo mechanic to balance him. And make just a tad smaller to fit in better. Also, if it isn't to much to ask, I'd love to have the item get jingle as his victory theme. Otherwise, very solid character.

And to add -- please don't use hi-res sprites. It really doesn't fit with Quote, or Rivals in general, to use hi-res sprites, and I dislike mods that use them when there isn't a need to.

What you have right now, for sprites, is good and doesn't need changing. Though maybe he could be scaled down to be a bit smaller.

Wonderfully done! Very accurate to the source material.

I love it! Loofing forward for you to finish it, also I'm with the others that he can be just a little less big.

where's the REAL quote

I loved it! but when i use it the game gets laggy, someone has the same problem?

I'm not the first one to say this but my only criticism is that he should be scaled down a bit so he isn't so large. Also he feels a little too floaty, although I do like that that makes him more like the original game. Overall it's very great

Level up mechanic might work best as powering up Polar Star. Also, to repeat the below, Quote feels a bit bloated with his sprite size right now. Though I personally prefer the old sprites to the new ones.

I loved Cave Story, I'm looking forward to this!
