Emolga deserves this rekindled popularity every bit. The gliding mechanic is implemented rewarding but hard to master, and it's really original.

I love this mod so much. Emolga is one of my favorite modded characters (commenting because Emolga is on front page now for some reason???)

It's a mystery to me as well. I haven't touched anything.

For a first custom character, it's actually a very well-designed moveset. And the gliding gimmick, although difficult to master, looks very rewarding to figure out.
Plasmanaut 18 Jan, 2023 @ 11:48pm 
liked the character so much i have a plush of it now
Blue 9 Jan, 2023 @ 7:30pm 
very cute character, however im not a fan of the kit or some of the animations. tysm for your hard work and dedication, i am proud of you for making this :)
Beardedyeti13 30 Dec, 2022 @ 4:22am 
what is the name of the purple flying squirel that uses a very similar glide mechanic ?
John VOCALOiD 5 Aug, 2022 @ 11:41pm 
I usually keep my starter with me the entire game, when I played them on my DSi (I only played the Black and White, but I always picked Oshawott, love that little otter.)

Emolga was basically that one meme with the dude who checks out the other chick when hes with his girlfriend.

Emolga was NOT ONLY cuter than my boy "John Osha" but was more useful than my baby boy, and I still feel like a traitor because I sat down, hooked up my charger and played nonstop to make "Emo Gal" (Don't judge my unfunny joke nicknames.) fucking max level.

I'm going to memorize this Emolga's hitboxes, damage, frames, everything.

I don't take gameplay seriously but I take the experience seriously.

I am friggin' weirdly attached to this flying rat, and I can dig it.

Hey there, this character is awesome !
If there was one change I think this character needs, it's the running/walking hitbox. Currently, it's the same hitbox as the idle animation, which feels a bit off when someone tries to attack her and it just goes through her head/back.

Other than that, great job :3

I feel like side special and neutral special could be swapped, or even cycle down special to neutral special, neutral special to side special, and side special to down special
Minthe 15 Dec, 2020 @ 10:22am 
Amazing character, love the design, the gimmick and the counterbalance to it's mechanic (the cahracter is still really strong tho lol)

I am in LOVE with this character. The only think i could possibly say it's a negative is the button configuration. NB doesn't feel right as Air Slash, and Side B definitely isn't fit for Static.
I would make Discharge NB, Air Slash Side B and Static Down B. Other than that, it's my favourite workshop character
mog 27 Sep, 2020 @ 9:13am 
accualy my favorite workshop character, even if I think she's kinda op (she's my main though) her unique playstyle and hype combos are so satisfying that they make me want her to be in smash
lilsgtsandman2! 14 May, 2020 @ 2:43pm 
This is a very creative and fun character, probably my favorite workshop character so far. Keep up the good work
LolyKa 13 Mar, 2020 @ 3:46am 
My friend play emolga a lot, is not better than me, but he still beat me anyway because emolga has stupidly powerful attacks. Dash attack, up tilt and up air comes out really quickly, down air kill too quickly ... And the only way I've found to escape it is with a legendary DI
Someone64 25 Feb, 2020 @ 6:17am 
Emolga can repeatedly dash attack the opponent and they can't do anything until they touch the ground. Only DI does anything apparently.
H_SmileyFace 27 Jan, 2020 @ 1:18am 
This character is awesome. I love unique movement mechanics and this one is such a blast to play with. You can get a lot of mileage from Nair gliding and then Up Special gliding again.
Gliding takes a bit to get used to, but is super fun once you get it.

10/10, easily my favourite workshop character.
Thomas0010 19 Jan, 2020 @ 11:34pm 
Holy crap, this was your first character? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS

Honestly, really fun character, pretty easy to get some combos, highly recommend
Ashen Two 19 Jan, 2020 @ 12:54pm 
My brother main. Strong as hell.
darkbladelink 15 Jan, 2020 @ 4:40pm 
Bug: Neutral taunt is invulnerable while active and spamming it has no gaps to hit.

Also, flight landing lag seems too long, and is sometimes inconsistent. Not 100% when it occurs, but occasionally when landing there is no lag whatsoever.
Forerunner Architect 14 Jan, 2020 @ 5:58pm 
If you don't mind me asking, why did you add the landing lag after gliding?
shplurmff  [author] 12 Jan, 2020 @ 3:44pm 
@Platurt Kinda. I might later, but i'm busy with a unrelated character. It's possible that i come back and reskin them, but it's more likely that i take the gliding and put in on a new character entirely.
Platurt 12 Jan, 2020 @ 2:58pm 
Are there any plans to release a "Squirrel Dude"-version of this character? Hands down my favorite one and I would love to see it at workshop tournaments.
marcossegon 6 Jan, 2020 @ 9:59am 
As a Picu main in Smash, I must say I'm heavily satisfied with this character
Succ 26 Dec, 2019 @ 11:34am 
can you mark her as finished
Superin7 25 Dec, 2019 @ 8:15am 
honestly one of my favorite characters to play in a fighter. emolga is super fun. good job on them
Where's My Floorhug? 24 Dec, 2019 @ 4:44pm 
Oh I forgot to mention in my first comment, glide is not that hard to control, y'all just need to get good
Where's My Floorhug? 24 Dec, 2019 @ 4:42pm 
this character and lyn are my two workshop mains mostly (though if I had to pick one, it would be emolga). Insanely fun, extremely unique kit, and allows for a lot of creativity with emolga's mechanics as well as the rivals engine. I have been maining this character for a while now and think emolga is so dope. Very well done
LuckyFields 15 Dec, 2019 @ 12:12pm 
It's a counter that stuns enemies.
SkyCrafter1234 13 Dec, 2019 @ 7:37pm 
Amazing but what does sideB do?
Keigo (Toki's Husband) 4 Dec, 2019 @ 9:35am 
omg so fun to use!
Liero 1 Dec, 2019 @ 4:08am 
Honestly the best made RoA mod so far, emolga just fits into the game perfectly and really feels like and official character! I love it!
Brazly 18 Nov, 2019 @ 11:18am 
This character is just a blast to play!
Platurt 10 Nov, 2019 @ 7:50am 
Definitely my favorite Warkshop char so far, amazing job! I love especially the new gliding controls, I'd even make them the default ones.

Took a a while to figure out that uptaunt and downtaunt are controlstick+taunt tho, I thought they were just pressing up or down on the d-pad, like in Smash Bros.
Ccmonty 5 Nov, 2019 @ 8:56am 
best way i could describe this is pika-semi clone with modified brawl shuttleloop. very fun and effective once you know how to use them!
Ghiaman1334 4 Nov, 2019 @ 11:29am 
Probably the best RoA mod I've played. I love them! As others have said, pretty strong for an Emolga, but I love them.
PsychoLogik 1 Nov, 2019 @ 2:01pm 
I LOVE playing this character, it's the best one I've seen yet, the combos are so fun and fluid. However I do feel like this character might be a little too strong. Even without down special (kills at 50 just above the ground and confirms off of most of emoga's moveset), it is pretty much always possible to zero to death anybody off the top once you get a hit (upb kills at higher percent and also combos into uair which also kills). Don't even get me started on nair. Nair can combo into itself, several times, on the same jump. It needs the teeniest more endlag (or just make it so you can't use it more than once in a row in the same jump) and then it would be much better. (Not requests, just ideas. You saw what happened to pichu ;-;)

Really fun character and you've really struck gold with this idea, especially for your first try. Hope to see what else you come up with in the future!
UberShimo 29 Oct, 2019 @ 5:10pm 
Fast floaty and really AIR to play! Fun af. love it :3
Gruvarbetare0 28 Oct, 2019 @ 6:35pm 
I LOVE this character. The gliding is a little weird, but I actually kind of like it now that I'm used to it. The only thing I might change is the knock back on f-tilt. Seriously, it killed Ranno at like 50% off the side. Other than that, great character!
Fodder 28 Oct, 2019 @ 5:26pm 
i miss when he was hella fast
SigDoKaRi 28 Oct, 2019 @ 8:34am 
I really love Emolga! The glide is a little weird to me, but I can get used to it. If possible, I would love to see how Volcarona would work in a platform fighter. Keep up the great work!
Naii Starwing 25 Oct, 2019 @ 7:59pm 
It's Shocky the Flying Squirrel!
Black Sheep 25 Oct, 2019 @ 5:12pm 
Emolga is *really* good move set and design wise, but the gliding is just really off. Some people are saying it's "good when you get use to it" but its controls make no sense. You spin too fast when pressing left or right, and up and down will send you in nearly random directions sometimes. Plus, trying to recover will often just kill me faster with how holding up for the upspecial often carries into the glide, which then points me straight down. Not to mention the amount of times I SD'd trying to Nair off stage.

Maybe a much slower glide with up and down simply being tilt up and down, and have it work like gliding in Brawl? I know it's less interesting, and it's your character at the end of the day, but that's my feedback. Great character, great design, but overly difficult, sensitive, and complicated gliding.
