Oh damn. Well, I understand.

@Discounted Potato, Sorry for the late response, I have been on vacation. That was a change I made a couple of years ago and forgot to update the steam page. I need to get around to that one of these days lol. The reason I made it was that the RKO was found to be hard to react to and would kill people because they were unsure if they got RKOed or the normal grab. I standardized it to the Fspec execute grab so it was more clear how to react to it.

For whatever reason, her boosted Dspecial leads to a curbstomp instead of an RKO.

Aside from that, she is an absolute blast to play as. I love her

@amaterachu sorry for the late response, but I am still working on her lore. I do plan to branch her out of the rivals lore she currently has into a more fuller character in the future. But I don't have everything set up yet.

Please lore dump her I wanna know everything

This is still the best water element (workshop) character of all time. I love her

Ah, that's okay and understandable. And what do you mean by future media?

@alphalycanlord I plan to expand upon her personality and stuff in future media. I can't say I have it nailed it down.

Also, I am curious. What exactly is Daora like? Personality wise and all that.

Wait what, that cost that much? That's kinda absurd. Well I hope you can figure out something someday, but until then I'll keep playing Daora a bunch in the first game. She's just so fun to play for me.

@alphalycanlord I can only imagine the price of a character commission in R2. Character commissions in R1 cost 1000+ USD usually. R2 has a way higher bar to enter.

Ah, that's neat she will help me teach stuff about the genre. And you have some time I think, as steam workshop for 2 may not come right away, Plus I bet there may be some good people you good commission to make her as well.

@alphalycanlord Well I hope you enjoy the genre, plat fighters are really fun, but they can take some work to get into. If you put a lot of time into her, Daora will teach you a lot about rivals, particularlly Advantage and Neutral states. Her Disadvantage is pretty bad though, so if you find yourself getting gimped a lot, that's just a intentional part of her design. I do hope to put her into Rivals 2 when the time comes, but I am a pixel artist, not a 3D game dev, so I have a lot to learn before I can make it there.

I'm not too good at smash and this, but I think I may try to main her. Plus in the bit I've played her, I'm already figuring out some combos for her or at least attack chains. However I hope she gets a version in Rivals 2, in which I'd totally max her level out if it was possible.

@alphalycanlord I am glad you enjoy her!

One of my favorite characters to play. She is quite fun to play and I enjoy her taunt too. Plus I find a couple of her attacks amusing including her final smash.

@TakenWyatt I can look into adding it down the line. This character is currently on patch lockout due to a competitive event and I am only able to push essential patches at the moment.

can we have dialogue for Dracula?

As a grappler enjoyer, she's a really fun grappler to use! She has some really good animations, and her gimmick is fun to play with. Just a really high quality character overall!

remember kids the real journey were the friends we curbstomped along the way

One of my favorite characters, grapplers are always fun to see. Really nice spritework by the way

@Z-pyrit, yeah Dspecial is the hardest grab to chain. I found that the Dspecial with the start up hitbox was too strong and killed people by mistake.

Really good quality of like change that DownB doesn't kill at the startup but the many options the opponent have after the grab make almost imposible to keep going with the combo

@thedrnom That's great to hear! I am glad to hear you enjoy her.

This is probably my favorite workshop fighter. Though I mainly fight CPUs I just love what she can do! Great stuff!

It's a small detail but it would be cool that when you taunt with Zinogre alt the howl it does it's same one as Zinogre when he enters his powerfull state just like N/A with some alts.

@curse If someone always DIs in online, they aren't playing the game correctly. Any character can harshly punish you for DIng in.

@Opengunner, and in online if someone do that, kinda trigger someone

@Opengunner there no need fix ai, if i do that i mean, you can just add knockback and it just pushing out

@curse The AI in the game doesn't DI away from it. It is meant to be DIed to escape but the AI always DI in towards the move again. I can't fix base cast AI to prevent them from doing that. It doesn't work on human players. The only thing I could tell you is to not abuse it versus AI cause otherwise I cannot fix it.

excusme, but up special is broken, it can to infinite times if it had contact with opponent

Z-pyrit You're fine. I wish I could balance around Sylv in this instance, but he's a bit to weird. I don't plan to make any major balance changes to the character as she's considered stable in the competitive scene.

Thanks for the answer, hope i'm not being annoying.

@Z-pyrit I didn't test it against Sylv, Sylv has a weird hurtbox that's bigger in hitstun and he doesn't fall at the same gravity that the other large characters do to escape it by teching it. I know this trait makes playing him in base cast sorta hard because comboing him is much easier than other characters. Unfortunately, I don't really have advice for counterplay against this. Dstrong off Fspec seems true in this case. Only silver lining is that Dstrong isn't her strongest move for killing.

Hey, i'm having some issues with the FSpecial DSrong mixup with a friend, he does play Silvanos and with that character the combo seems imposible to DI away, can you give us any hint of how to escape it?

It's also incorrect on the steam page. I haven't really updated this page to reflect large changes in the character since she came out (It still has the old Dspec execute animation that's no longer in the game). I plan to update this page a bit to better reflect how she plays now. Thanks!

Makes sense that those things got removed, thanks for the quick answer.

@Z-pyrit I am glad you enjoy the character! You are correct, these two features were removed after that guide was made based on a request from the tournament organizers and community before the 2023 Genesis event for balance reasons. As such, she can no longer do these things. I will talk to the guy who wrote the guide and have him correct it. Thank you for pointing it out.

Hello, i'm trying to master the character and i started checking the Frame data document to check if i missed any mechanic and noticed a few things that seemed no longer aviable in the character related to Forward Special:
-"Tapping jump very shortly before the grab lets you do a short hop out of it, and delaying the input lets you do a wavedash"
-"Daora can fall through platforms using this move if holding down on the joypad."
I couldn't get any of these imputs no matter how much i try, are these removed ore i'm missing something?

I am glad you enjoy her! She's my favorite still of all my characters.

She's still a very fun character.

Oh I see

@xenophanes, that only affects CPUS who only DI in, it does not work on human opponents, and I can't fix how the CPU DIs from base cast.

You can infinite with her up special?

@Mech Sly Hello! Sorry for the late response, I have been a bit busy this week. Let me see if I can recreate this issue this weekend. Is there any crash report or indication of why it crashes? In the mean time, sometimes files don't properly download or patch so could I ask you and the person you are playing with to try to unsubscribe and resubscribe from both characters to see if there is potentially an incorrect file? It's like validating files on steam.

Minor issue: if iroh or daora are in the same game it crashes for one of the players and the other controls the opposing character for some reason. I want to suspect is something to do with the assets of the sprites in particular but im not 100%

Thanks! I am glad you enjoy her! I can't say I am up to speed on what you've done but I hope you're doing alright at the very least. I don't keep up with things too much these days.

or Incineroar

I know I'm somewhat looked down upon in the RoA community, but I just wanted to congratulate you on making this character. She strikes me as a character who's easy to learn, but hard to master. Every move just feels right when properly landed; they've all got that UNGH feeling, like Ganondorf

@pitmetak2 Unfortunately no, I wouldn't want multiple versions of Daora floating around. Too much of a hassle and I don't want people knowing different versions of the character, mainly because she is comp focused.
