@NotCoddz Probably yeah, it'd need some fiddling though, if you want to try go for it

@FortressBrawler I don't have a version with only shielding but if you peek into the source code I think there's a variable to turn grabs off ?

is there a version with only shielding?

this is really cool! is there a way you could program it so that you can jump out of shield or up-strong out of shield?

Character compatibilities can be added, yes, on either side

That said, I haven't done work on this in a long time so I'm probably not going to be starting now

can you add character compatibilities into this buddy

When I use the shield,it makes a really loud noise,and the shield doesn’t actually appear

how pummel

Good mod either way tho :)

Cool mod, Albeit a little glitchy. Sometimes shielding does not prevent knockback and throwing sometimes does not throw the target in the correct direction, sometimes not even throwing them at all.

Rivals 2 mode.

Well, as far as I know no one's made a custom throw yet - currently all the throws reuse parts of the character's existing moveset - it's also been long enough that I don't actually remember the process, so the easiest way to figure it out would probably be to look at the mod's source code yourself.

how do you make custom throws for almost every rivals workshop custom character

yo so uhh... Can you change the discord id to your current one? I think they updated the system a while back

not sure if this mod is still being updated, but it crashes when being loaded with peppino mod

is there a version with just the shield?

BRO YOU ARE A HERO TY!

I haven't updated this mod in quite some time, but it should work online

does this work online?

it crashes my game bro

Anyway to have short-hop like Smash Ultimate ?
You know, when you press (and hold) Jump+Attack at the same time to do an "assisted" short-hop. Please 🙏

i like how the knight can just spawn benches by grabbing thats funny

As far as I know no character has made custom throws, but pretty much all characters, vanilla and custom, should work because of how the mod generates grabs and throws. The exception is when a character has, say, a projectile for a jab, but that's rare.

Probably an answered question, but is there a thread or list of compatible characters?

@Whiplash Daemon Try equipping the Shields and Grabs buddy on the Character Select Screen, before the match. Any player who wants shields and grabs has to equip the buddy. There should be a box with a plus sign (+) in one of the corners of where your character portrait shows up. Also, it's not compatible with every Workshop character, just the ones who have Shields and Grabs Buddy compatibility added in. Other characters may be a little janky with the buddy equipped, or not work at all.

i shit my pants when i saw this

Good job

how you make custom throws?

did you choose the buddy? Hard to tell what your problem is with so little info - it still works fine for me

Doesn't work at all? I enabled workshop and tried with a default cast member

Amazing mod!! Sometimes can be janky, but overall incredible to see this done. Although sadly out of all my downloaded customs, it causes a Bowser to freeze up after attempting a grab. srPerez's bowser. Dunno why though!

great but now im just sad that there isn't any legde grab buddy or any legde grab otion cuz i have a stage that i can legde grab in but the stage in general is quite ugly and i want it on mos of the stages

attacks that are used inplace of throws are kinda buggy, some cause purple screen when using jab or upair when your not close to blastzones, the shield has a diagnal error, if you hold diag downwards, your characters shield will start to blink, leaving you open to pokes, but the shield also resets the location after being hit, so you take damage.

...I feel some bottled rage there. That said, this mod was always more as a proof of concept; I do stuff to see if I can do it more than anything else. (see: NT3D)
As for why people want grabs, it's a different combo system, which can be fun to switch up with.
For sitting on shield, it's still a system with counterplay. The counterplay is to know what options you have. (normally aerials that have little enough lag that you can just poke them from safety, or projectiles and such)
It can be frustrating if you don't want to wait it out, which is why I agree with it not being in most new platform fighters, but it's still a neat mechanic to have as a modded extra.

Pretty freakin' cool. Really wish this was an actual mechanic in the game.

ah alright, thanks

interesting - I don't know, as I don't own any. The skin might be overriding my code, which would be unfortunate. You could always use the alternate way to grab, though (shield + attack)

Special skins (Tuxedo Ranno, Summit Kragg, etc) are unable to grab and will just do their taunt normally, is there a way to fix this?

the custom charater that doest work for the grab is mega man x, the only one i could find a custom throw is modle z.

I don't know what to tell you - it works for me.
Can you give an example of a custom character that doesn't work?

is it working again for custom character

now there are customes trows huh. thats cool, wonder witch charater have this feature?

Make the throw in a file like you would for a normal attack and PM me on discord - I never really cleaned up the process for converting, but once you see one you'll understand how to do it for others

i would like to know how to make custom throws for the custom characters

hmm it seems as if now custom charters wont work with this mod when you fix it i will use it again because who want old normal charters to grab and shield but the way you did this is cool but the grab timer is to small/i can't do a jab jab jab on them fools

i have to test them all then i will let you know

Yes. Again, which custom characters aren't working with it?

first of all is it meant to be used for custom characters?

what characters?

shield doesn't work with some custom characters

It's not shield break, it's when your opponent hits you when you're at high damage. I had full shield when i was testing this and simple stuff like zetterbern fsmash knocked me out of shield
