Kaiero

Kaiero, the hardlight brawler, joins Rivals of Aether!

Kaiero is an all-around character with quick normals and great stage control. Using his specials on tandem can put the enemy on edge!

(seen from picture above)

Nspecial: Light Bullet

Nspecial throws a quick bullet of light towards the enemy! This can be used to close in distance.

Fspecial: Shining Dash

Use your energy and dash through the enemy! Be careful using it in the air though, as it has pratfall.

Dspecial: Energy Orb

The main utility tool for Kaiero. Throw this beaming orb of energy out and hit it around to your advantage! However, the enemy can use it against you by hitting it around as well.

Uspecial: Fluorescent Uppercut

Hey you know the shoryuken move yeah thats basically it with no sourspot


The orb doesn't get thrown out just to be hit around, its got way more uses. After a set amount of time, the orb will charge a giant beam and blast it in the direction of the last move that was used on the orb!

Once again, the enemy can also use this to their advantage as well. The beam can hit you too.


Even then thats not all. His other specials interact with the orb in their own unique way!


Nspecial explodes the orb, allowing for extra combos to be set up and for you to safely restart the orb's beam timer.

Fspecial absorbs the orb, giving you a TEMPORARY boost in power! For a limited amount of time, Kaiero's strongs become more powerful AND Kaiero can jump-cancel fspecial on hit! While this boost is active, though, Kaiero cannot use dspecial again until the boost is used or runs out.

For one time, pressing dspecial again and a direction will manually reangle the orb's beam direction!

Uspecial also absorbs the orb, only to burst it back out as a wide range explosion! Use this kill move wisely.


Reiga: For making the base sprite!

Mixmaw: For making the first concept! It was originally an idea for parasol that I changed a little and put it on an entirely new character!
