@neurosis51 Certainly something to take into consideration, I will think about it, but I will not guarantee that it will wind up being pushed to the live build.

@Ambi Understandable for the techroll counterplay, most players don't miss their techroll, especially the cpu, so the solution is to just knock them up higher while in the weapon radius. Any consideration for making the weapon activate sooner while the opponent is hitstun and in range as opposed to when it's ending and they are actionable?

@neurosis51 Spiritual Weapon sent upwards in previous patches, but Vale's speed was generally too low for her to be able to reliably confirm off of it. As for techrolling in order to avoid it, that is intentional counterplay to the move.

For D-special the only suggestion I have is to make it possible to change the direction you strike if you are holding left or right upon releasing the special button. Another suggestion for F-special 2 (the repositioning of spiritual weapon) is to retain it's hitbox similar to when you first place it down from neutral; Might be too oppressive, but I have Project M zelda in mind where she can reposition her DIn's fire repeatedly and Vale's F-special works in a similar way.

Let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it, be it the reason on why you think Vale's kit is fine as is or something like what you intended it's use case to be.

I like the sprite art and Ike inspiration in the way she plays, including her unique aspects, but I really think they should be tweaked so they are more useful. My foremost critique is the f-special mechanic of it warping to hit the foe after their hitstun ends as opposed to while they are in hitstun; More often than not the foe is knocked out of the radius of the spiritual weapon or they tech roll and completely ignore the spirit while it attacks their i-frames. Another part that makes spiritual weapon less useful is the trajectory it pops the foe up. From my testing it consistently sends them flying far to the direction you are facing, which surprisingly makes it harder to convert off of it. My suggestion would be to make the trajectory hit the foe straight up 90 degrees, maybe even have the knockback be a fixed amount too.

I think it's a balanced but very fun to play fighter, I ADORE her

Vale

peak

im a giganta fan of the design

luckily vale has like 7000 fans

If Vale has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Vale has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Vale has only one fan then that is me. If Vale has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Vale, then I am against the world.
