Absolutely crisp character, Love the battleaxe, would absolutely love to see more creators make more fighters oriented to this weapon. Valkyrie is so much fun

How did the previous skull sigil mechanic work ? I really liked the Strategey and less heavy weight to her previously

Creamy Yellow / Black. You'll know once you get in game.

Which alt is the gold one because now I can't tell

i have a feeling you're either using the Golden skin or you're not good

its so op its not even fun,all the areials are broken i litteraly got 70 dmg within 2 secs of just using aerials, they are so fast. Same goes for forward special and up special, they are super fast and you cant get out of them. i litteraly 5 stocked a lvl 9 bot and i had full hp after. Also the f-tilt n-tilt d-tilt is super fast and annoying combo or whatever it is. Pls nerf

Non-default palettes actually do swap Valk's colours around- we're waiting for a function that can fix that.

I wanted to make a character, like Zetterburn, that doesn't overly rely on their gimmick to get their job done- but the skill ceiling comes in once you start actively applying it to your strategy. A lot of characters revolve around their gimmicks to operate, which is fine, but we were sorely lacking one that doesn't.

I agree Dspecial IS slightly weak, but it has its uses. It cancels into any special if you hit anything, and has a normal iasa cancel around 10 frames into the endlag. This lets you get Dstrong followups as a mixup when grounded, or can be used mid-combo / post-uspecial to "bunt" someone in place like you're playing Lethal League.

If Valkyrie ends up needing a Dspecial buff she'll get one (trust me, I have a list), but I think most people agree that she's doing just fine right now. Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you're enjoying the character!

Very cool char but I feel like getting into the mark-gimmick is a bit clunky to the point you're better off just playing without it most of the time.

Especially downspecial seems kinda weak to me unless there's some cancel or anything I'm not seeing. It's cool that you can extend it's hitbox using the totem-thing, but it feels like sidespecial is still way superior for putting the mark onto the opponent while every normal is better suited as a close up attack. (Also it not changing colors like sidespecial does is a bit confusing)

Henudisogames, you must be referring to the Golden Skin: with that skin, she's grossly overpowered in every way, which includes turbo cancels on every move!

Thank you, Pierce! I like to stay on top of things like that, since I think the information is important. And thank YOU Alexcalibur, I also really enjoy Uair. Might even be the most consistent multihit in the game?

OnePunchMudkip, yeah, one of my regrets is that I made her a little large in her first sprite and then just went ahead and created the entire character. I still think she's not too bad in terms of size- an extreme character needs to have an extreme weakness!
Henudiso 6 Dec, 2019 @ 6:02am 
her black and white skin can repeat some attacks infinitely like d-air and f-tilt
Mudkid 6 Dec, 2019 @ 3:02am 
this character is too bulky, thats my only real problem
Pierce 5 Dec, 2019 @ 3:29pm 
I love how organized your patch notes are.
JustAnAcorn 3 Dec, 2019 @ 4:06pm 
feels really, REALLY good. Uair is one of those moves that you only find in Rivals where landing it is just fun. I personally don't mind the art style, but I play DeDeDe in smash so I clearly don't mind my characters looking derpy.

Art looks a little funky I know, I'm not an artist by any means and I'd like to sort that out at some point. MechaBuster, you should be able to change the colour of CPU fighters using a second controller- for me, my I can control the P2 CPU colour using my keyboard as the input.

Thank you so much to everyone for all the praise Valkyrie is getting. I know she has some flaws, but it really means a lot to me that people are coming here to tell me theyre enjoying the character.

amazing mod great job. also how do you make the cpu change their skin so I can give them the golden skin for a true boss experience?
Gum Ass 1 Dec, 2019 @ 3:37pm 
love it! and i think her splash art looks rlly cool, it's different from the rivals art style, and i like it a lot!
gr8h8 1 Dec, 2019 @ 2:05pm 
Great character, I love that theres a heavy character as too many people create needlessly fast characters. Moveset is well designed and fun. My only issues lie in the visuals which I think can be improved. The face in the splash art looks goofy, also the tail in the sprite work does not look like a walrus tail and instead looks like a whale tail which makes it look really odd to me.

I like this character a lot, feels very authetnic to Rivals. I do wish that that the totem effects applied to more than just strong attacks though such as the down tilt.

She's a little big, but that doesn't take away from how fun she is!!
Riva 30 Nov, 2019 @ 7:31am 
Great character, but needs to be a bit slower, and his fair is extremely broken.
The Golden King (TaytoSeal) 30 Nov, 2019 @ 7:22am 
Yes hi I love her?
anguish ♥♥  [author] 30 Nov, 2019 @ 3:24am 
Made her Sylvanos/Elliana sized. Uses Etalus/Elliana hurtboxes. In terms of volume she's only slightly bigger than the other vanilla characters, but every other legal workshop character (including my Kirby) is so ridiculously and unfairly small that I can see why she's look out of place in comparison to them.
Salaar 29 Nov, 2019 @ 9:44pm 
I agree, if it was downsized a bit I think it would be a great fit. Otherwise super dope.
Penguin Sempai 29 Nov, 2019 @ 8:01pm 
WAY TO BIG. besides that he has a cool moveset
Daniel 29 Nov, 2019 @ 6:09pm 
nice
Fubberdish 29 Nov, 2019 @ 2:19pm 
that is a boss fight? I think thats what hell looks like. 10/10
backu 29 Nov, 2019 @ 1:07pm 
it has my seal of approval
The Golden King (TaytoSeal) 29 Nov, 2019 @ 11:14am 
I bought the game just because you added this.
FrisoLaxod 29 Nov, 2019 @ 10:45am 
YES
