Cool that there's a skin but I really wish someone made a unique fighter out of them

@DemonicShadow this is a character SKIN so you will need to select Clairen, then the gear on her CSS portrait. You should be able to find the skin in that menu. Let me know if this works for ya!

yay it works now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks they look exactly alike

@SBS thanks for letting us know, I didn't know if others had the same issue lol

Ok, I confirmed it was an error in base game with the recent patch. An update should fix this today.

@Gekkougagamer Let me look into this. It is possible a recent base game update is causing problems.

when i start a match with the skin, it shows a letter Y on the bottom right corner and im just invisible. i don't know how to fix this

For some reason this skin and most others aren't showing up in my game, could it be an update that broke them or some form of incompatibility?

(because I disabled all mods accept for the skin and it still didn't work, also I've had workshop enabled)

why jest why

Huh, i never mentioned it but the skin issues stemming from the rollback update are all fixed now! That plus the crashes from using skins 6 or 9 are fixed thanks to Giik too!

Aaaaaaaaand there has been some minor sprite cleanup and the addition of MANY more alt color (32 total now!)

@atosaizo that is due to the recent update. A lot of workshop skins got messed up as a result. they should get fixed soon though.

I just downloaded this recently and it seems the Drifter's sprite is offset down and to the right of where it should be. Not sure if this might have been caused by the recent update or if this is just an issue on my end somehow. Looks super sick though!

@rulei64 You hit left or right trigger/bumper once the skin is selected, similar to changing colors on normal characters

You know, the ones in the pic up above?

how do u acess those alt colors?

@Senpyro the Wizard unfortunately that isn't a bug - I just did not re-sprite the Abyss runes cause I wanted to release the skin. I may get to it eventually though as I want to add more colors too.

Amazing skin!

Noticed a bug though. On abyss mode, using "down special is a charge attack" rune makes you Clairen while doing it.

Damn, really wish this guy was an actual character..!

I was kinda hoping for someone to have made a character, but Clairen may as well have been the Drifter without his gun so this is just as good.

@Azura No problem! I am sure we will get it fixed. Thank you for the bug report and the compliment :)

Thank you so much for the reply! Much appreciated, I really love your work so it's a shame it's happening.

@Azura this is actually a universal Workshop skin bug right now. Giik is aware of it but the actual cause is hard to pinpoint.

Hey so sometimes when the mod loads you can't change skin and when the game starts his sprites are 3 times as big, however his actions are the standard size and it's quite distracting. I think when the mod reloads after a match it causes this but im not too sure.

Glad I could help.

it wasn't exactly how i wanted, but i was able to edit it the way i wanted because the colors were the same
F8F8-F8F7-A8B8-55CD-FC55-CDFF-F7A8-B855-CDFF-F7A8-B8ED
it's an alt from marth fair clairen which unfortunately i can't use online because it stops responding before we even get to the stage select screen

Well that isn't EXACTLY how it works but using the color codes I already shared, I made this for Clairen:
F8F8-F88A-999E-55CD-FCF7-A8B8-F7A8-B8FF-EDFA-FFED-FA59

Try it out! and use the original codes I sent the mix and match the colors as you see fit

I meant like if it was on base clairen

@Raeeah is this what you want? this is how it is scripted. Ignore the first two numbers in each line and you get the color values from the next 3.
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 0, 85, 205, 252 ); //Cape
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 1, 247, 168, 184 ); //Cape 2
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 2, 255, 237, 250 ); //Face Sword
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 3, 248, 248, 248 ); //Helmet
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 4, 138, 153, 158 ); //Pants Feet
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 5, 248, 248, 248 ); //Skin
set_color_profile_slot( 9, 6, 247, 168, 184 ); //Belt Gem

What's the pink, blue and white alt's color code?

@mrabocado06 No it this a pure re-skin. No changes to moveset/hitboxes/character traits

does he change Clairen's mechanics?

@Thisizaraisu No problem! Enjoy :)

OHHHH okay, I really gotta learn how to read lol. Thank you so much!

@Thisizaraisu That is because it will show up as a Clairen skin. Click her and look for the workshop cog on her character portrait then scroll to The Drifter. This is because this is a reskin, not a character (so the hit/hurtboxes from Clairen remain unchanged)

I've tried adding this one twice and the game won't show it in my workshop characters

Trans skin, hell yeah!

Absolute Flames

@seven, glad to hear it!

Nice man, it works now. Thanks man.

The recolors and small sprites are here! Load the Drifter skin much easier/quicker, and choose a color to suit your style!

The Drifter skin will now also show up in replays, AND the weird parry bug where he didn't change colors is fixed.

@themarblefamily Small Sprites are coming to help out RAM issues. The build is currently in beta and should be pushed live very soon.

it froze e game while loading

@sapo it is ready to implement but a bug fix needs to get pushed live by Giik first. Small sprites are bugged specifically for skin templates right now. I did all of the work on my end though so stay tuned, shouldn't be long :)

hey @SBS is the "small sprite" thing added?

YES thank you good sir

@sage Some players have had this issue from overloading their computers RAM. In the next week or so, I am going to implement the new "small sprite" functionality that got added to workshop. This should make the skin far less difficult for your computer to load.

yo, for some reason this skin works fine in single player, but for some reason whenever i try loading it in online multiplayer, the game crashes. anything i can do?

nice work the only thing is that while using the skin is harder to notice the tipper and that can be a problem

@jaquan I will look into this. Most people do not seem to have this issue but I will bring it up to Giik from the Dev team to check it out.
