what is this character from?

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.

I want this character in Rivals 2

template please

This character has like four grabs and I'm barely lucky enough to get one
I swear this character has like melee bowser grab range but hes still fun and hes also one of my newest secondaries

Normal ryke has smoke but janky instead of charge as down-B

this character was so hard that He became a character with combos similar to the original

this character is amazing

I'm really enjoying the new down special! A wizard foot with utility fits the character nicely. Are tilt stick throws still being considered or did you decide against the design?

I like the amount of grabs this character has.

I had my reasons for replacing old Down special. I couldn't see it being in the kit anymore after I changed the smoke's hit properties. When it worked like Elianna steam it was terribly broken, but now that it's different it isn't really all that useful. Plus the fact the random nature of the move caused it to not work sometimes.

This is my favorite WS character but he really suffers in multiplayer (3+) matches. He need some iframes on grab animations. SInce that is a large part of his kit and he is easily hit out of grab animations by other opponents.
Also I like that the charge is now down S but can we get a button cancel on either that or the grab? Two moves where you HAVE to commit is a lot.
Also I see where Mr Cthulu was saying the down s was great to escape juggles... that's true, but I think d strong being air dispensable would be sufficient.

Why change down special? Ryke recovery being bad was a fun challenge and smokescreen was a great space tool and to escape higher juggles. It was an important part of the kit

That's a good idea! I need to wait for patch lockout to end after Genesis before adding it but I like it.

Is there any chance that tilt stick inputs could throw out of cargo grab state? Really enjoying the character but cargo throwing feels a little awkward.

Hey, just letting you know, when I scroll to one of the alts (I think it was just after "Turtle King") the game crashes.

On the topic of abyss runes, rune C, which reads as "Fspecial startup and recovery decreased" prevents buffalo charge when you hold the button. Is this intentional?

You're right, that should be fixed

why does buffalo charge go so, so far
the abyss rune that supposedly makes it travel further doesn't even seem to do that
i think you might've accidentally put the abyss rune version into the base-game as its distance is currently insane, you might want to tone that down a little

Thank you @Harbige12 for bringing buffalo charge back (hold F special). The look is even better.

I agree with keblakev. Please bring back Buffalo Charge. I love using it, and it's an integral part of conditioning your opponent.

Please. I will honestly love to have that back. I created some amazing combo with it.
Please is it possible to have that back? Then people that may not want to use it can simply ignore it. Or worse case scenario, I am willing to download (if possible) the version , 2.15, I think that has that move.
Thanks

I removed that attack and put it in a rune.

I guess if people want it I can add it back. Was kind of uninformed that people like it.

Just this morning I was using a version of Rykenburn that was so cool. I was able to do a charge move using his horns. (I was holding Fspecial). It was so cool. I closed and reopened the game and found out I couldnt do that any longer. Can someone please help! Thanks

Thank you so much! If you'd like me to credit you and/or leave a link to your work in the description if I ever post my mod, feel free to let me know.

You do! The clouds might make the game run a little slow but go ahead.

Hi! I was wondering if you'd be ok with me looking through the code of your character to help with a project of my own. I'm working on a character that can throw bombs that make clouds of sleeping gas, and I'm not sure to go about implementing clouds. I was planning on looking at Elliana at first, but someone told me that the engine for workshop characters works differently than the ones for the base roster, and that I should ask to look at the code for your character. I tried playing it and I think that it's really fun and that it might give me a nudge in the right direction. Do I have your permission to take a look?

kragg + forsburn + grabs = rykenburn

Very cool character, but the smoke causes a lot of lag

I don't think this is intended, but the smoke from down b never dissipates, and he can eventually cover the whole stage into smoke until the game lags too much to play

The smoke clouds from down B spesifically lag my game. I have a pretty beefy PC, but we know how GMS is. Is there a way to optimize the smoke clouds?

really sick character i wasnt expecting him to be so sluggish cause most of the other heavies in rivals are so fast but it works p well

I have to say, I miss when the smoke lingered long enough to be acted up off of more consistently. Otherwise he's still fun to play.

I'm a ganondorf and DK main on Smash Ultimate so I'm obviously biased but DAMN is Ryken cool as hell. At first I just thought he was a lot of fun but once I found out that I could power up my grab attacks by smoking enemies first the character became 3 times cooler. Keep up the good work, if they add more workshop characters to base Rivals at some point I really hope Rykenburn is considered as the Fire pick.

awesome

Absolutely incredible

honestly, one of the most canon feeling characters, only a few steps behind hodan in that regard. good work, cant wait for future updates!

@Makoto Considering that Rykenburn is described as a 'rogue' general of the Fire Capitol, I imagine he didn't take too kindly to the idea that using smoke was considered dishonorable. I can see it too; a general can sometimes be so focused on victory that he's willing to overlook methods frowned upon by others. Granted, smoke in this case isn't exactly napalm, but the parallels are there.

Also, incredibly fun character. His reach is atrocious, even on his Sparta Kick, but I can overlook it because he do be grabbin' tho

i loved your character, but i have just 1 little totally not important complaint, why does he use smoke? in the RoA Lore isn't that a power only exhiles use? like, people outside of the fire kingdom? and your character is a general from fire capital, like, isn't that supposed to be a taboo? your going to release anything lore wise to explain that or you just thought it would be cool and didn't thought about the lore? i can also be wrong with what i said, so if i am, plz correct me
but again, this is not important at all, the important part is to have a cool character, and you have a cool character

Proving yourself, it's important to be one of the best. You are here. You are almost at the goal. Character Curation. Good Luck.

I absolutely Love this character, visually fantastic. I love the Ganon inspiration as well as that Brawly move ;). Hit boxes and frame data need a bit of work and honestly I believe it's mostly buffs that he needs (Please Read the Discussion I left).

Again great character please keep up the good work.

I feel like it's hard to kill as this character, maybe Fstrong could be a attack instead of the smoke? Still a very well made character, I love how they feel

Alternate color #14 causes the game to crash in the character select screen.

When the enemy gets the Smoke status effect they are surrounded by a grey box as well as being shaded gray.

it's a really good character, it fits right in with the original cast

chaingrab go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

his runes give him melee marth grab range and i love it

he can chaingrab forever fix that please

also it seems as if there is a new graphical bug, when the enemy gets covered in soot it will have a dark grey box over their model
