I've been a fan of FNF for a long time, boyfriend has been one of my favorite characters in fiction for a while and I gotta say: I love this character. He has a pretty fun moveset with some charming visuals and gimmicks that makes for some of the best stage control plays out there, but MAN he desperately a buff or a slight rework. His damage output (without GF) and hitboxes are pretty underwhelming and laggy to an extent and even with the sweetspot gimmick, he lacks combo potential. As a result, he kinda struggles to catch up in alot of matchups.

I really want him to be one of my mains for workshop sessions with my friends but these downsides really have him outmatched in alot of scenarios and I'm praying there's enough support for him to get this treatment.

There's an exploit where you can keep Girlfriend alive after exploding just by timing a taunt. It's pretty busted, but he still sucks since the rest of his kit is very lack-luster in both range and kill power. Cool concept, but with balance changes and exploit/bug fixes, he could be good.

Main reason why people hate Friday Night Funkin' is because of the player base being flooded with children.

(It also doesn't help that a good 75% of the modding community for the game are all pedophiles.)

tbh, you should REALLY upgrade the A.I., the A.I. get's confused by the center not being a platform too easily, and moving platforms confuse it too, if you could do this, it'd be really appreciated!

Bro is terrified of lightning but will take on Satan himself with as much confidence as a fat person with his burger.

His AI ignores the start countdown at the beginning of the match lol
Alien baltan 18 Feb, 2022 @ 12:46pm

the moveset image (first image in the description) has up special and down special mixed up
DonGT  [author] 11 Jan, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
Alright so to inform everyone we're working on a giant patch fixing a lot of problems and making him fun to play. Cosmetic upgrades to his animations will also be done. (Pico will also be fixed)
Wizizard 4 Jan, 2022 @ 8:32pm 
would you be willing to add the bf and gf from Friday Night Strikin' as one of the alternate skins?
BASKING WELL-FED HOG 18 Dec, 2021 @ 3:45pm 
Boyfriend seems to be very fun in concept, but a lot of his moves feel stilted and cumbersome. I'm not the most experienced with the game, but he seems to really struggle with how short-ranged and slow all of his attacks feel. especially against rushdown type characters

Hello! Wanted to point out a little bug I've found. As Girlfriend is exploding, if you Taunt she'll react, but that also prevents her from leaving the stage, allowing you to basically insta-place her. Besides that, I love this mod, fantastic job!

Hello, I was wondering how you made it so selecting the character plays a sound?
Rook754 24 Oct, 2021 @ 1:49pm 
Other Characters: Normal Or Unusual Abilities for Some
BF: BEEPUS DELETUS

BF with the Tankman alt when taunt: A S C E N D
AlphaNate 23 Oct, 2021 @ 6:57am 
He is finally here to rap and fight at the same time.
ScarlightTheProtogen 15 Oct, 2021 @ 7:59am 
This character is extremely fun, but these hitboxes are so SO small, a little hard to get the hang of, especially with the tilts

Stil fun, looking forward to more stuff
Davo64M 13 Oct, 2021 @ 11:30am 
Hey this is really cool and Boyfriend feels great but there's just one thing im mixed on and it's his Alts with his Up Smash like an example his if you use the Minus Alt and do a Up Smash Pico just looks off and same goes with the Neo alt. but that's just a nitpick and i can edit those in the files. But aside from that this is a fun character to play
maddf_90 9 Oct, 2021 @ 5:33pm 
Finally... we have a mother fricking playable BF.
Spamite  [author] 2 Oct, 2021 @ 7:15am 
just got updated, sorry for any trouble!

when i go past the matt skin, the game crashes
The Knight 30 Sep, 2021 @ 5:31am 
LOVE love this character, but his fair and bair feel off. BF moves backwards while the attacks come out, which gives them really bad range.

also, some other thoughts is had are that while charging uspecial, if you press up, left or down and then let go of all directions, it should really remember that direction instead of defaulting back to up.

Currently Rivals of Aether is going through desyncing issues online, whether desnycing, floating characters, unable to wall jump, and so on. Boyfriend is not the root cause of this, and by the time you reload Rivals,cthe problem may even be fixed
~ SkyanUltra ~ 25 Sep, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
yeah me too, im desyncing a ton
Gug 25 Sep, 2021 @ 7:12pm 
Not sure if this is just a me issue here. But I have been having issues with Boyfriend causing desyncs when playing online.
TehMonkeyB 25 Sep, 2021 @ 11:25am 
i dunno if its a good idea
might be broken so just give it an insane cooldown
i really hope its a good idea for a dspecial change
TehMonkeyB 25 Sep, 2021 @ 11:24am 
i agree with skyanultra but i think the down special should be a singing mode and it does this


arrows appear on top of you (like senpais dspecial) however notes will also appear on the person closest to you you will then teleport to GF and the person who is BF will be on the left and whatever direction they want to move in will instead send arrows at the person on the right side miss notes = take dmg
hit notes = deal dmg to BF any other players will continue fighting
the ones singing can not take dmg and no one else can dmg them and they cant deal dmg to anyone around them (them= talking about the ones singing they= same thing as them)
