I literally started playing these guys just for the victory theme.

Honestly, I like the character gimmick, it's really cool and isn't done often. I was probably too pissed off at everything to type a rational comment, so I'd like to apologize for being a massive ♥♥♥♥.

I just got really frustrated fighting against anyone using this character. The problem lies in how good the kit on this fighter is, that you need to know specific cheese just to fight fair against them, which makes matches really boring or frustrating.

Put these guys on level nine and they proceeded to send my ass to the Shadow Realm seventeen times in succession, and we only played three stocks.

10/10, would die again.

cool ass character you all should just be happy this man is making unique characters instead of whining like a baby.

Not even gonna mention the teleport you can do in case you fall off, that's literally a safety blanket that makes this character busted. All of the moves do great on their own but the combination is literally a ♥♥♥♥ you to your opponent.
3/10 not recommended at all for any use. If you want an ice climbers style fighter then go for plusle & minun. This character is busted and unfair to fight against with both vanilla and many modded fighters primarily because the creator did not pay attention to the damage you can dish out with this character.

good concept, poor execution.Mainly because they're too powerful.

A moderate paced projectile that causes you to flinch isn't much of an issue, because normally your opponent would need to dash to you if they were far away. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ character sucks a ♥♥♥♥ ton of ♥♥♥♥♥ because the moment you get hit by the projectile is the moment you go from 0-100% stupid fast. Coupled with how fast the attacks of both characters come out is actually genuinely retarded and is not fun to fight against both A.I. and vs a actual person, because you'll be juggled with no recovery.

robotic ice climbers

I absolutely love these characters, however I've run into an issue regarding Zo's AI. When Ru is knocked off-stage Zo often will not follow and it results in Down Special not working correctly, and Ru falls to the blast zone while using the move. Most times Zo follows Ru when they are knocked off the stage, which allows you to use Down Special/Up Special and recover. When Zo is on stage, usually using Down Special allows Ru to teleport to safety, but I have had various incidents where that was not the case and Ru fell to their death despite a healthy, grounded Zo not currently in hitstun.

is that Into the Breach reference?

Too small. Reaaallly doesn't look great and the A.I is MUGEN levels of busted.

Needs a LOT of improvement.

I would love to see an alt of the astronaut meme because it would make perfect sense
AbyssStarer Jul 24, 2020 @ 4:06am 
I love these little funky robot dudes
zepleyafurn Jul 14, 2020 @ 4:16am 
I agree with 6000j here, it is a great character, amazing mechanics and all, but imbalanced
etceta Jul 11, 2020 @ 5:32am 
Love the character, properly one of my faves! Unfortunately I get TONS of lag whenever Zo is alive, but that's properly cause my computer is trash
Moonomaly Jul 9, 2020 @ 9:13pm 
i Love these characters so much they are my favorite fighters in the game and holy carrot the AI is brutal, you are basically fighting 2 fighters at once
Leo Luster! Jul 9, 2020 @ 6:47pm 
Hey, i found a way to clone the robot in training mode, and id like to talk to you about it, bc id like it not to be removed LOL. anyway, super duper fun character, helicopter dstrong ftw!
6000j Jul 9, 2020 @ 12:15am 
Ru needs to be far less powerful, and the tank needs to cover less space. As is, Ru is worth around 0.9 of a character by themself, and Zo is easily. You can't really every get to Ru without killing Zo, so the character also just has twice the health every stock. The area covered by Zo is absurd considering it's basically the area of a normal character, and Zo is way too strong.

the closest thing we'll ever get to an ice climbers
HoboSorcerer Jul 5, 2020 @ 11:01am 
I just noticed that none of your characters have balance threads. It'd be a REAAAAAALLY good idea to add those to all of your characters.
HoboSorcerer Jul 5, 2020 @ 10:57am 
I love the concept and they are incredibly fun to play, but I think it would be a good idea to add a balance thread because this character has some serious balance issues. Mainly that it's a little too easy to infinitely combo people without giving them a second to play the game. Together they're oppressive, but even alone Ru can both combo & kill just fine. Maybe making him a little larger and lowering hit-stun to some moves would help with that, among other issues, and F-air could have a little more startup perhaps. Another thing I noticed was the Neut-B should probably have a cooldown like the shield has as it's too spammable, and making a way for Zo to not jump off the stage would be super helpful.
FloodRisk Jul 4, 2020 @ 11:58am 
he lags the game but whenever zo dies it fixes it is their anyway to fix that cuz hes really fun
jazzgnat Jul 2, 2020 @ 7:50pm 
i love Ru & Zo but there are a few thing i wish were different first if there was a way to keep Zo grounded without locking her in place would make down B way more useful i like the fact that down smash makes Zo go up when she is in the air but the hitboxes while charging it are a little OP lastly if Ru was imune to Zo's side B while grounded that would be great cause i keep running in to the hook while trying to get my oponent but all in all 10/10 from me they are a whole lot of fun to play and worth the time to learn
Myahster Jun 29, 2020 @ 11:02pm 
This is incredibly unique, well done!
Karishad #1 fan Jun 29, 2020 @ 8:50pm 
I had this idea for a character but not the talent to create it. Instant favorite.

Bibbs Jun 28, 2020 @ 1:00pm 
wait why isn't it already 5 star rating doe?
Qazzquimby. Jun 27, 2020 @ 11:19pm 
I really like this. Some thoughts:
-Maybe shield cancels neutral special aiming so you don't have to fire.
-Making Zo jump or not jump is important for landing side special and smashes, but it can be unclear how close you need to jump next to her for her to jump.
-Since I have very little influence on Zo's movement, it often feels like I can't land side special or smashes unless the opponent position's badly. Some way to reposition Zo, like teleporting her to you, or causing her to run ahead of you, might create a lot of options. Movement while in the parry animation could control Zo, maybe.
- I have tilt bound to c-stick. Side tilt on the stick causes zo to side smash for some reason. Other tilts don't.

ice climbers but good
johnforthegameboy Jun 26, 2020 @ 10:20pm 
Good character based on a real good game, but down air can kind of, y'know...

*zero to death*

So that's probably not good
Thy Haz Terrible Name Jun 26, 2020 @ 7:35pm 
An amazing character, I do planning on picking up them as a secondary alongside my 2 bois, good work Ruber
garebear Jun 26, 2020 @ 5:51pm

Fantastic work, a really solid character. Seems like it has the potential to be tournament legal.
Dextra_24703 Jun 26, 2020 @ 8:00am 
this is a really good character the concept works but it feels very complycated, and the motion of down special to recover feels very akward.
