i have made a creature before that looks like this, and it has come to life? cool!

i feel like down b lightning bolt itself should have a hitbox as well. as it feels it's missing that oomph feeling, when you sacrifice all your limbs. other than that i think, the arms and legs should get a little something too beside just movement, even with out that, this is a great character. I wouldn't change anything else about it, i can see the hard work you put into it. I enjoy it using it. thank you for this character

@Vanta Thanks for the response! I'd love to analyze a few of your matches - unfortunately basically nobody has taken an interest in the character so I have no data to balance Vanda with. If you join the Discord and submit some replays it might help me understand where you're coming from better.

My only problem with it is that all the Special Moves make the game A lot Better, such as the FSpecial being having very good kill power and A-lot of Range. The NSpecial is Amazing for Covering The Map and Comboing for Killing. The Up Special is also an amazing recovery, having such Mobility. With The Specials you can pull off Amazing Combos, and Sacrificing Them for some Buffs that you can barely tell if you haven't read the Description not the best in my opinion.

From personal experience with Fighting my Friends, who are just a little bit Worse then me, I couldn't get more then 2 Stocks, let alone Kill. Without Sacrificing I was able to not only Combo Much Better with the Wide Range of Moves, but Recovering was alot better aswell. I see the Purpose of the buffs, but I personally cant handle such a Low Moveset.

Other then that, Amazing Character that deserves alot of attention.

@Vanta I feel like you're asking "What do these sacrifices do that Vanda couldn't do before?" I have to paraphrase A LOT but:

Sac FSpec
Air speed vastly increases punish game by chasing enemy DI & being in position to combo
+USpecial sac: Combo enemy to side blastzone for early kills

Sac NSpec
Can extend combos some
Safely bait attacks using better wavedash = more neutral wins
Increased roll speed helps you escape tech chases

Sac USpec
Makes Vanda a glass cannon, very easy to get kills
Try chaining UAirs together to juggle enemies to the top!
Double jumps aren't reset when hit = Vanda gets edgeguarded to death easily

What kinds of opponents are you facing? With CPUs and low level players this nuance goes out the window. I think the sacrifices reward solid fundamentals, but the specials still have plenty of power. Vanda is highly versatile & the CHOICE to play without sacrificing is your own interpretation of how to maximize Vanda's power.

Please for the love of god make the Sacrificing worth it. Limiting 3 Moves which are Amazing needs more benefits then 2+ Jumps.
Jashy_ 15 Apr, 2023 @ 4:18pm 
Do be entirely honest? I don't think the benefits are good enough to trade out the special moves. There needs to be more of an incentive to actually remove the special moves, as well as which ones to remove specifically. Other than that, this character is dope

I've seen how good this is.

Could you make a Symbiote: If you don't know what a Symbiote is it's Venom, Carnage and more!

It might just be me, but does this character have GMK Ghidorah's roars? in their taunt and neutral special I mean.

Maybe i'm just stupid, who knows.
Nightsbane 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:30pm 
Pretty cool character. I like it so far
high noon 431 9 Apr, 2023 @ 5:43pm 
it is cool and i like it but it would be bonkers if you add a 2nd tier of offering leaving nothing but the normals to battle, adding buffs for amount instead of parts like the other, first reducing end lag?(redusing use time) for normals second getting more defence and third gettting more strenght. using only normals with those 3 in the right amounts could do the trick

@Paco I had considered re-uploading Vanda upon release in order to increase its visibility. So far, I've decided against it because I think it'll reach the hands of the people I want it to. This character was designed with competitive viability in mind first and foremost. Reaching out to TOs is more important for discovery in these circles.
Paco 9 Apr, 2023 @ 6:41am 
Probably should've reuploaded before you made it public. Its a shame to see something this cool not getting the attention it deserves.

This is the month where all the characters who have been in development for an extremely long time release huh?

the very concept for this kinda character is really cool, and its execution is fantastic. great work! :gearthumbsup::nmhhappy:

It's so sick to finally see them released, they definitely adapted well to the newest landscape of workshop. It's so great to see. Congrats on release!
Dragsta 8 Apr, 2023 @ 5:09pm 
The best move is where it says, "It's Vanda time" and then Vandas all over the stage! :steamthumbsup:
Sirc  [author] 8 Apr, 2023 @ 5:09pm 
@Inv3rted I wonder how many people still remember Starry Eyes haha! Workshop has changed so much since then. Thank you, I hope you enjoy the character!
Inv3rted 8 Apr, 2023 @ 4:59pm 
It's very nice to see a character that has been in development since Starry Eyes was still around finally see a release! Congratulations to you and Seer!
