very amazing character! brings back so much nostalgia for me, i love it! Im just curious though, i was messing around with him and accidentally threw the heart from his uair diagonally downwards, but cant seem to redo it? was this on purpose? and if so how can i do it again cus it was cool asf!

how is side b supposed to work? all mario does is act like he's throwing a ton of stuff and it's a multi hit

does this have FS support? if not, then make it the Mega Star powerup.

can you put water on him to nerf him slightly more

His down air when using bomb is incredibly busted. 5 hits kills almost every character, and does 25, 40, 60 damage too.

cool

bruh this character crashed my game

Can we get a tiptron buddy?

No problem. Have a good day.

Oh no that's alright! I was partially worried that you would've taken what I said the wrong way, but I'm glad you got back to me eventually. Thank you for reading and considering what I've said :)

Sorry I didn't responded earlier I don't work on Rivals mods as much as I use to.

That's fair. These are good points. I'll think about buffing Luigi again as well as uploading the older busted version for people who like that one.

Also, as for the balanced version, a lot of the nerfs I totally get. His movement speed nerf is fine cause it gives you a reason to use Dashell. But the only nerf I disagree with is the upsmash nerf. That move was already hard enough to land on its own and whenever you DID hit it, it was rewarding. Now the height nerf makes the move kinda pathetic. If anything, I'd at least say nerf the air speed instead of the height, just so the move is more punishable. I was talking about this with my friend and he agrees that the Luigi nerf is the only nerf that's mainly unnecessary, and SPM is a character he rivals against as Hotel Mario when we bring out the big guns for a good fight.

I won't lie, I really do miss having the super strong SPM because he was an absolute blast to play as. I can get why you want to rebalance him, but personally that kills my love for him because I just loved how insane he was. I dunno if it's too much to ask, but can I ask for a separate workshop item pre-nerf SPM so I can still enjoy his ridiculousness? Still a fantastic workshop character regardless, but I'd love to see an option of using the strong version.

As for your "As long as its fun then who cares how powerful they are?" mindset, I don't think you're wrong in this mindset either. Personally, I really liked having a stupid overpowered character.

I updated it to see if it did anything, tried it with a friend and it works. Hope it works on your end.

character seemingly does not work anymore, says others do not have the same version of it installed even though i have the exact same folder installed as my friend (replaced it in workshop), works fine in singleplayer

I updated the character again. Just some balance patches and if I'm being honest now that I worked on other Rivals mods when I went back to SPM I realized that this character a hot mess and my job is nowhere near done. When I first made characters with Rick I had the mindset that "As long as its fun then who cares how powerful they are?" I still think that but I don't think making them super overpowered is the way to do it. I feel bad because you guys were trying to make my fighters better but I kinda ended up pushing you guys away. I'm very sorry about that and if you want you can talk about what moves need patching and what not while I'm at it I might as well patch some of the things in the comments that I didn't patch below.

...No. I just wanted to take a break from SPM. If I'm being honest i'm willing to work on the character again. It's just that I didn't think the fighter would blow up the way he did and I would end up pissing off a bunch of people on a discord server because he got on Alpharad's channel and their OC didn't. That and stealing one of his moves from cuphead but we made our own down b code. Nevertheless people still hated him because of his sprites. I felt like a fraud and my motivation for working on Rivals mods went down the drain. So I said fuck it and gave up on it. But I'm willing put that all in the past to work on SPM again. Respriting him has been on my mind for awhile and I'll fix up the patches I didn't get to in the comments. Except freefall on up tilt because well.. is it really that big of a deal in the first place?

Wait, so this character is just going to stay broken until someone else steps in to fix him??

We're not working on this character anymore. Not that any of you guys read the updates but I said that I was done with this fighter. I personally don't want to work on him anymore and Rick is working on other stuff. I'm sorry. If you guys want to fix this characters problems then go right on ahead. Just make sure you ask for my permission before doing so. We learned that the hard way but that's in the past I guess.

most of his moves put him in freefall. like up tilt

the cool down is too long

also ftilt is too fast

stun neutral B is still too powerful and down air is really crazy, I think you need to give him a better weakness cause him killing late isn't that bad

Ohokthen

I guess ?

Well, its.. kinda great ?

I played the game but I never made it that far because I didn't have the time or I would forget. It happens to me far too many time whenever I play an RPG these days. As for the new game... My feelings are really mixed on it i'm starting to get a little worried.

That's okay man I still love this fighter, I figured you'd only do it if you've played TTYD but if you ever get the chance to play the game you should, it is the best one so far in my opinion, I'm looking forward to the new one though, it comes out this Friday :D

Wowie you really like our mod thank you. As disappointing as it sounds I don't make an TTYD fighter. I don't really think I would pull it off as well ether because I know way more about SPM compared to TTYD. Though I'm not going to completely disregard the idea ether maybe I'll do it sometime in the future because it's a pretty good idea overall. (Plus I've learned a lot more about using sprites in Rivals so maybe some people can finally shut up about the mixels.) Anyways thank you once again. I'm glad you enjoy the mod.

So many small things that really add to the uniqueness of him though, like the door that appears when he enters a stage, the pure heart attack, the skin options, EVERYTHING about this is perfection.

Any chance of you guys making a Paper Mario TTYD fighter? If you did the same thing you did here he would feel extraordinary. You could add all the extra party members as attacks and a few of the "Special Star" moves, maybe even some of his paper abilities, such as a paper plane for a triple jump (even though it was impossible to get height with that thing lmao).

Holy **** I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how much depth is in this character.

I was highly expecting a simple Paper Mario Skin with some basic "Mario" moves like a fireball and one of the Pixls.

You guys actually did it all. I highly respect the amount of time and thought went into making him because it feels like he came STRAIGHT from his game. You guys managed to add (most if not all) of the Pixls in as moves as well as the other playable characters. Truly amazing.

Thank you. We are making a new update that patches him. Stuff like Peach's down smash has been the one of the more criticized things about Paper Mario that's definitely going to be fixed.

Absolutely fantastic mod!! His combo game is amazing, he moves flow fluidly into each other, and his aesthetics and sound design is top notch. Only issue I my friends have online is his damage feels too high for how much he can combo you (Peach down smash hurts a LOT), and his dash attack super spammable. Otherwise, 9/10 character that every Paper Mario fan should have

idea dimentio with the count blecks minoins as pixals and also his magic

can you make a luigi version of this?

literal perfection

Because

why does up tilt put you in free fall?

Press Subscribe. :)

how do downlod

Came here from alpharads brother jacob. very pog

came here from alpharad- this character is fucking rad

maybe if were bored we will

For some reason I expected a version of SPM where he has no cooldown to happen at some point. No I'm not sure why ether.

Who Else got here because of Alpharad?
