Huge update everyone! Please check changes in the workshop description!

I think just based on your mindset during creation, I would say they can easily be slotted into the canon! I would say they are probably of the fire element faction.

@Monagression I haven't put much thought into it. I definitely try to make my characters to fit the aesthetic of the game, so getting the lore is just one step over. I would love Kaboom to be part of the original game lore.

Quick question: would you say this character could be classified as a character born in the rival of aether world, or are they from their own canon? I'm making a list of rival canon workshop characters

Thanks Trouble.png. He's some visual upgrades soon for some of his basic attacks.

This character is FANTASTIC, an absolute gem.

Ah yeah sorry he got a rework.

Tapping Neutral drops bombs. Holding Neutral and a direction throws bombs.

How can I throw bombs with strong attacks? Have they been reworked?

I could tell that this character was awesome before I even finished my first battle with him! Great job bro!

What support does this character have?

this has to be my favorite character, rivals seems to be built on gimmicks, and this is the essence of that concept, kaboom does one thing, and he does that one thing perfectly

Increase explosion radius (bombs are hard to explode on enemys) but make it so that only a couple bombs can be on screen at once, like 2 or 3, that will prevent spam and if your bomb is about to explode and there are bombs all over the screen you will take damage, and lastly make fspecial and uspecial deal damage to you so they arent as spammable and fits with the new less spammy panda (Just some ideas)

@Dextro: Yeah, I was really struggling with that bug, but now it's fixed :) Thanks for pointing it out

@Sa-v: I can't tell you how many times I've read your review, and it's made my day better. I've got some complaints that people just fill the stage with bombs, and I've tried to explain that, that strategy is flawed and weak compared to using the fuse mechanic strategically. Hearing that you understand and appreciate that mechanic just makes my day. So thanks for that. Any hint on what some of those "number tweaks" should be

@ticho. I'm so glad you REALLY like this shit

@kamilion: Thanks for sticking around, and I'm glad you like the changes. Have you tried pressing down+taunt to show the Kaboom specific fuse indicator

@EndlessSpam: Thanks a lot. I'm glad you recognize the difference between Kaboom and Mollo.

is it normal that when im doing up tilt and explode that his hurtbox stays as if he would be doing up tilit because his hurtbox away from the sprite

BOOM

This is a beautiful example of a character built around one concept, and that concept pushed to wonderfully elegant simplicity. Excellent work. Some numbers may need tweaking here and there in order to make him flow a touch more naturally, but I love him already. Kudos!

I like this kind of shit. I REALLY like this kind of shit.

hey there, just wanna say that the fuse count looks really good now, also the Bair is better now too. i think the new fuse counter helps a lot with doing moves and stuff, because my eyes couldn't follow the numbers. i love the new kaboom, NICE WORK!

I like him, he feels like more riskful Liz tbh. It would be funny if his up special send him further when his bomb is on short fuse, maybe even he could be lit like fox when doing so. So far he is really decent and has different playstyle than Mollo. I had a lot of fun playing him with my friend, so he isn't really annoying to play against which is rare for spacers. Really good work.

Funny explosion
PANDABOMB  [author] 1 Jul, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
Thanks Kamilion! Yeah the fuse counter is getting a “wick” visual with official release.

I’m glad you like him. Trying to landing some low fuse melee attacks for some devastating explosion attacks.
kamilion 1 Jul, 2020 @ 10:51am 
this is a really good character, the fuse counter could use some work, but it's an interesting concept nontheless. it's a nice character all around.
