this is legit one of the most fun characters I've ever played.

this is one of those magical characters I love to play and to play against as much or more than my favourites in the rivals 2 contest, wish I could vote older characters into the contest lmao

arthurzinhoo 2 Jan, 2024 @ 1:51pm

This one is a good air fighter.

In practice mode (pressing Y during character selection) against Zetterburn, playing in Offline Versus
Mawral  [author] 2 May, 2022 @ 3:52pm 
Online or off, against which character(s)? I've been unable to trigger any crashes myself.
Busts-A-Nut 26 Apr, 2022 @ 9:08pm 
Up special crashes the game if it connects
Mawral  [author] 5 Apr, 2022 @ 6:03pm 
Made a custom float-jump fix instead. The character should be playable again.
Mawral  [author] 9 Feb, 2022 @ 10:08pm 
Apparently the latest Rivals update has made all workshop characters with a float-jump not function like usual. This affects Epinel too, hopefully it will be patched soon.
Mawral  [author] 20 Jan, 2022 @ 11:24pm 
@Jakuzi ggs! The first hit of his Down-Air is a weak meteor. But he can use his Up-B to not fall during it, which prevents the second hit from connecting. It was a really cheesy KO.

@all, glad the changes are welcome.
Jakuzi 19 Jan, 2022 @ 11:46am 
lol I came to this page to find out what this character actually does after getting bodied by it and not understanding (I think I got spiked at 18 by what looked like a nair?) and as it turns out I was playing against the creator
Komodojo 14 Jan, 2022 @ 3:23am 
Like the changes! Still one of my all time favorite workshop characters
5 Nov, 2021 @ 12:36am 
super fun to play floaty and air combos are clean 1000/10 i would use him all the time online and versus my friends
grainneagalvin 18 Oct, 2021 @ 1:18pm 
i hope i would spar him
FormicidaeArisen 14 Oct, 2021 @ 8:18am 
It seemss nice but it crashes when i do uspecial.
ArkBlitz 12 Sep, 2021 @ 10:12pm 
It will be awkward in the future, when the Diamonds and the Rough are two members down - here's hoping for a season 2!
Delectable Gumption 27 Aug, 2021 @ 9:14pm 
been a bit since i played him, i love the new changes!
Redeemed Revan 17 Jun, 2021 @ 5:36am 
Maw, I battled you once and was amazed. Please teach me how to play Epinel!
melowatti 16 Jun, 2021 @ 10:20am 
I wish they would have picked this character for base cast. Maybe next time(If there is a next time).
Komodojo 10 Jun, 2021 @ 2:41pm 
LET'S GOOOO! I love this character so much! Thank you Mawral for such an amazingly designed character!
Mawral  [author] 8 Jun, 2021 @ 9:22pm 
V5 is released. Many of his mechanics are simpler to use now. The munophone guide didn't work out, I may or may not post a guide instead of including one in-game.
Mawral  [author] 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:40am 
<3 Something's in the works, Munophone support too if I can figure out how to fix its lag issues. Until then I'd recommend stopping by the discord server linked above.
hamman773 11 Apr, 2021 @ 11:42am 
My favorite workshop character after trying out dozens of others. He feels so unique yet things still have a sensible flow to them. My one gripe is not being able to understand the intricacies of him. I am not a high-level player, but I also don't want to not understand what he can do. Some better explanations of his moves and mechanics (especially how to utilize D-Special well and inertia) would make him perfect. Maybe MunoPhone functionality? Of course, I don't know how hard that is to do, but again, I do love this character and hope he becomes official one day!
Mawral  [author] 5 Apr, 2021 @ 9:04am 
Fingers crossed!
Grapevine 1 Apr, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
2 down, 2 to go!!
Mawral  [author] 1 Mar, 2021 @ 10:02pm 
Epinel's 'v4' update is live, introducing some big changes to epinel's platforms and combo mechanics.
I don't think the changes are so drastic that I'll need to upload a 'v3 version', but feel free to ask if you would like me to do so.
Fujo 15 Feb, 2021 @ 1:00pm 
Looks pretty cool!
Ace 23 Jan, 2021 @ 7:16pm 
Props the the creator. Even my more unconventional combo's feel smooth.
Pringlepop 31 Dec, 2020 @ 10:29am 

Very unique feeling, don't think I've played a character like this in a platform fighter before. I don't understand his platform mechanic but that's fine since his inertia mechanics are more than enough for me to mess with for hours. You have created a character that plays completely differently than any other character but doesn't feel gimmicky or unbalanced - it's like a new character archetype altogether. Good job.
Astra 23 Dec, 2020 @ 5:27am 
This has legitimately become my favorite workshop character, thank you for making him real, and I'm so excited to see your work, whenever you're able to get it out!

It's also important to me that you not burn out or over-exert yourself, yes yes. Don't feel rushed just cuz you got so many eyes on ya, yeah!
Mawral  [author] 23 Dec, 2020 @ 12:14am 
@Archangel Epinel's up-special was changed in his v2 update, while zetta's video demonstrates his v1 up-special. He now creates the fields exclusively by breaking his platforms (with dtilt, air dspecial or air fspecial).
@Astralika @splashy I wouldn't worry about misgendering a fictional character, but he's a he.
@Makoto Inertia slows and locks the opponent's movement direction for a short moment. Nothing too complex in theory. Epinel's up-b, platform breaks, and certain 'hilt' sweetspots will inflict it.
@all, thanks for the compliments. Will try to push a new update soon.
Superachi 22 Dec, 2020 @ 2:53pm 
I’ve been unable to replicate the inertia fields with this character. The only way I’ve gotten one to appear is by DSpecial on a raised platform but I’ve seen it appearing through USpecial in the demonstrations
Sevsdast 22 Dec, 2020 @ 2:02pm 
Champion worthy, this is you. The hard work is paying off, the timing is righter than ever. Welcome to the elite, you are here to stay. Welcome to the RCS Championship roster.
Astra 13 Dec, 2020 @ 4:18am 
I may have found my newest favorite character? What the heck? I'm love them. (Him? For some reason Epinel feels like a they/them kinda friend to me but I don't wanna misgend.)
Makoto 11 Dec, 2020 @ 1:06pm 
how does inertia functions exactly?
LxL_egacy 4 Dec, 2020 @ 4:00pm 
Also, Inertia's sick.
LxL_egacy 4 Dec, 2020 @ 3:57pm 
Just got this character and it's just epic. Really fun gameplay, and some spicy combos? Awesome!
Tatoojim 10 Nov, 2020 @ 2:01am 
Insanely fun. Just got spoiled with this character. So much creativity in the design and allows for the same in gameplay. Favorite in the workshop by far.
splashy 7 Nov, 2020 @ 8:11am 
its the perfect chacter but ¿is a girl or a man?
Fishbones 5 Nov, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Solid, balanced characters with smooth movement and animations, crazy mixup combos and a ton of fun moves, easy 10/10
Mawral  [author] 4 Nov, 2020 @ 8:46am 
Online desync issues should be fixed in the newest patch.
Mawral  [author] 17 Oct, 2020 @ 12:06pm 
@sith gg!
@Paladin palette crashes should all be fixed in the latest version of RoA.
@KU can't promise anything yet. Glad you've enjoyed them.
Redeemed Revan 16 Oct, 2020 @ 10:27am 
the highest honor is getting bodied by the creator of Epinel themself. gg
Paladiknight 1 Oct, 2020 @ 6:37pm 
Cycling past skin 10 crashes the game for me.
