Do you mind if I base my character off of your sprite work? I am also making a magic staff user. This is my first character, so I'm learning a lot. It won't be a 1 to 1 of Aerith, but I want to use her sprites as a base to make mine if that's cool?

i thought she was naked

OMG she is super cute amazing job

Do Cloud Strife next

are those the only reasons

Still can't believe y'all got SCRUFFY to do the victory theme

Holup. HOW THE CRAP DID YOU GUYS GET SCRUFFY TO MAKE THE VICTORY THEME?! I LOVE SCRUFFY!

is the "she's gay" skin supposed to be vanille? because if so thats absolutely amazing

Love this character, animations and play style are amazing! Really great work!
I noticed while playing that holding special and then pressing down is causing the materia shift to happen and it feels like an oversight. This happens most often when charging a side special off stage and pressing down to trigger fast fall, but this is just an example. Wondering if this is intentional or a bug.

I still maintain that her d-strong has wayyyy too much startup (27 frames) and endlag (30 still?), you can so easily react to it and landing it consistently is not happening, I know this wasn't tested against anyone competent or even on a strong AI. For reference: Kragg from base cast has the slowest strong in the game with his f-strong having 24 frames of start up and 19 frames of endlag, Aerith's d-strong isn't nearly as good from a damage, knockback, or utility standpoint and it's obvious why. Literally just make it faster than that (around 18 frames of startup), cut down on the knocback again if you still think it's too OP for whatever reason; right now it's so OP that you can't land it consistently and it doesn't even kill early for how slow it is. Just make it a good techroll catching tool so it can actually have some utility instead of being an unused part of her moveset.

The dress looked skin colored in the thumbnail and i was like "ayo what the"

now make sephiroth with his down special be killing aerith in the trailer

neat, the nair magic was fixed. Now about that grounded U-special blocking projectiles... or literally anything else that makes it useful outside a recovery, the potential is there for sure.

Where the hell is my cloud strife????

I swear i put him somewhere in the basement...

Her down special should've been Sephiroth coming down and assassinating her

A very charming and fun character: having to swap materia every now and then keeps things spicy.
Great job!

Nicely done!

sorry if my grammar sucks

well if she's the last of her kind i guess that her species is now extinct

So about that projectile blocking wall, is it being considered? it just makes sense. There is still the matter of her n-air not proccing the magic field affect and the long cool down even after a charged f-special is off screen.

this is lovely.

Her N-air doesn't seem to proc the affect of her N-special. I've tried with both hit boxes of it and n-air clearly has a magical efx to the animation of it.

nice
Aerith kingdom hearts from that cutscene where she got down-air by sephiroth

I LUV HER SPRITEWORK ^__^!! GOOD WORK!

This feels like it came out of nowhere but awesome to see nevertheless. Finally, a good FF7 rep.

I've gotten that Materia burst to go off several times, but I will say that the timer for it is extremely short; The progress resets once the materia runs out and you need to do several big hits on the opponent for it to activate, thus it'll be a very rare. I'd suggest adding a bar that tracks the timer or have the magic burst carry over between materia swaps while it slowly decays.

Opponents are able to tech-roll out of the charged f-special consistently.

Awesome character, great work everyone

Flower girl sweet looking forward to cloud and tifa!

Her info box says she gains access to a super attack after enough materia/manado arts attacks are landed, but I haven't seen anything like this in game while playing or this page detailing her. 1 last thing, Lustrous wall changes color with your materia, but doesn't seem to do anything more than that even when someone is knocked into it.

Character feels nice to control, none of her normals feel useless with the exception of d-strong taking forever to come out (like 30 frames). Kudos to MIT for the great art and animations. A few more critiques: Her lustrous wall should block opponent projectiles. Speeding up the startup on d-strong should be considered even if you need to nerf the vertical hitbox on it or something to compensate (it already has a ton of endlag too, around 30 frames as well). The coded cooldown for charged f-special after the projectile is already gone should be removed; it feels terrible being actionable and still not being able to use the move again for another 2 seconds even when you are putting the command in, it's not like it's a store-able charge which would make the move better.

Looking forward to trying her out.

The art/animations are wonderful and she's a blast to play! Great job to everyone involved!
