@Eclipse : Or actually if its possible could I have permission to alter this mod to make him more balanced? I'd still give you credit for the work, Id just like to tone down things. Please friend me if you'd like to talk about it more

plz nerf fair

I really like the mod but its a bit too strong in its current form, was wanting to use it in a tournament, But Forward Air, and his forward strong are WAY too powerful, I've killed people with them around 50% each, f strong should be slower (projectile) speed

The name made me think of a special request. Could you add Tetsuo from "Akira"?

This character should be in the game officially. I have no idea what Astral Chain even is, but this is such an interesting and unique archetype for a character that I've never seen in a smash game,and in terms of how he actually plays as a character, it just works flawlessly.

Love this mod, crisp sprites, animations, and a very cool kit. But the character crashes my game randomly, could you give this a fix when you get a chance? Thank you dude, love your work

So question, will we ever see Fusion Legion as separate character in the future by possible chance?

Okay, but why is this mod so good

Fix the sprite

ok but whys the sprite differ from the png

Yeah, i'm getting a crash with this one too.

There's something wrong with the character. He works fine until Legion hits 0/30, then the game freaks out and crashes.

every time I play this character my game completely bugs out and crashes I think something is missing in the code

there seem to be a problem whenever legion's bar hit one there a critical error that always show up

hello, your mod is very good, could you lend me the sprite, it's for an animation that I want to do, if you don't want to, that's understood

By far one of the best characters on the workshop, super creative, well made and can pull off some sick stuff. Might be a bit overpowered, but a great character none the less.

My only gripe, and a major one at that is his side b. It's far too good. It's big, it comes out fast, it's both a combo starter and a kill confirm. There should either be some indicator of it coming out or the move should have a longer start up. Other than that real solid character.

nice i forgot about this game

let me be honest here. i love playing as this character. this is one i've played a ton as and have only once maybe played against which is going to make it odd that i actually believe it needs some nerfs and updates. i bash other characters on here so its fair i do the same to a character that i play. Fair and Bair might need to be rechecked. bair kills are common for me at like 80+ which is a little to good. side b's hold might be a little to long lasting if i just throw it out on a retreat and didn't even know it would connect I dont think i should still be able to combo off it. thats it really for broken abilities but i do think jab and the smash attacks can be wonking af. nair should probably air stall as it doest do much as an aerial.

I lvoe this character but the nair is so inconsistent. the opponent can tech or even just fall out of it and sometimes it even sends me offstage

to clarify, this is exactly why bowser is overpowered. you have a massive disjoint, which lets you string the opponent along for near infinite combos. run out of health on your legion? just run away from the opponent or pressure them until you get it back. akira would probably still be a good character without the legion, but it just makes her way too powerful

why god why does the legion destroy trummel and alto's clouds this character is so absurdly overpowered

@gabrielsarradet I have been having similar issue with other character as well. The jab and other neutral on Akira dont do anything. As if something broke it. Even worse , other characters I have now show small and I cant play them as they are under the stage for some reason. I hope there is a fix for this. So far, I uninstalled the game and re-installed later but it still didnt help.

i wana see how masotan plays in this game. or shoud i say "planes" in this game

I love this character. Are you going to make Akira Kazama from Rival Schools by any chance? Would be fun, and I've really enjoyed your characters so far Muno. They are definitely the most fun ones on the workshop. Keep it going.

we need more puppet fighters like the bugfables

Okay so i am loving the character from the animation to his moveset the only problem is the longer i use him in a match his 1st and 2nd jabs disappear and just skips to the 3rd jab/slash while i tried pressing it slowly or lightly he does like a mini jump animations for the 1st and 2nd jabs. Hope this gets fixed other than that its a great character indeed

Dude, I love Astral Chain. Thank You.

Would be great if you could make the Legion not take friendly fire.

anyone else having some issues? the legion doesnt move around and follow me, no matter what, some moves like down air straight up dont have hitboxes, and none of my neutrals do anything

I think that there is definite potential here. So far, he is a great character, and, impressively, I'm actually able to pull off his combos quite well when I can get the neutral string to fully connect. Quite impressive for me given that I'm hardly able to pull of extensive combos outside of Koei's Warriors games, lol.
However, I did find a good few problems/questions.
His jab/nair combo is not a true combo. Even in training mode, opponents can still fall or tech out of the combo at even 0% or even be hit too high for the third jab to connect.
Is dtilt intended to be able to combo into the jab or no? I haven't tried dtilt-utilt-jab combo, though.
Up tilt, however, is not always a reliable combo into the string, itself. I am able to pull it off at times, but not always.
Are the strong attacks also not meant to be able to end combos, themselves?
I also feel that either uair is too weak or dair and fair are too strong; taking into account doing those from a successful combo.

Muno you are officially the best rivals of aether steam workshop creator!

You want a puppet fighter?
You found it. Great character.

goof the mod, if it is not too much trouble you could pass the sprites, otherwise it is understood

i dare you to make Twinbee a fighter... oh and dont forget Winbee Twinbee's female Eco fighter. Use this as insperation: https://www.deviantart.com/professorfandango/art/PARODIUS-Twinbee-372131570

You're a saint

Anyone else getting a ton of desyncs with this character?

Are you planning to balance adjust this a bit? I think that Fair, Dair's ground impact hitbox, and the dash attack [not sure what hitbox], kill a bit too easily; Aside from that this is a spectacular character.

Thank you for bringing this to reality! Really wanted the Howards in Smash, but we might not end up getting that. Looking forward to using this.

very cool character, but side smash needs a bigger hitbox or the arrow needs to be moved closer to the ground. It misses a lot and Orcane cane dodge the thing just by existing, it's impossible to hit him with it in neutral. Wrastor is pretty good at this as well. The only fighters i can hit with consistently without popping them into the air are Etalus and Krag. Otherwise a really fun in interesting characer.

akira more like kira

IM THE BEST AKIRA PLAYER hah I said it first

the jab bug is because of a general workshop bug right now i think, lots of chars have had similar issues recently

This is a dream come true, I didn't think anyone else was into Astral Chain enough to bring Akira Howard to the fray! I love the spritework, seeing all the Legions in pixellated form is glorious. I seem to be experiencing a bug where trying to jab on the ground can sometimes fail? Like they're trying to finish the aerial version. All in all great character!

I've been advocating for the Howards to get into Smash since I played Astral Chain on release. Glad someone has good taste.

Yessir a Platinum rep! First 2B now Akira, Wonder-Red is inevitable....
Loved your work on Sm4sh mods, loving your work here, no matter where you go you put out the highest quality mods, keep up the good work Muno!

Is it me of the jab often bugs?At the beginning I can pull all three jabs without problem while following the white arrow above Akira. However, later on, only the third jab will come. But the first two jabs wont come at all. Am I missing something? Thank

YO no cap. keep making characters. like this is raw talent right here

so something i found out that if Akira Side Special on Forsburn's clone, the Legion will not stop charging forward and will keep on going, the blast zone won't stop it, neutral, side and down Special don't seem to work but you can still use up Special to teleport to Legion (into the blast zone)
