Oh that's the ME-OS main theme! It's a game by a friend of mine and it's on that alt since it's his alt, haha.

Glad you like the character as well! I can address a few of the things if you want:
- This is general jank with two hittable objects that take knockback. It's a whacky interaction though!
- This one isn't a bug exactly, as those objects are grabbable, but I could give them more proper grab compatibility in an update so they behave better probably lol
- This one is 100% intentional however; I added so Dan could flip between his taunts with directions a while back and left the rapid flickering in because it's funny, haha!
- This last one due to jank with the Runabout, not exactly a bug and more just due to how the movement is coded. So it just keeps the reverse momentum if you get pushed back and don't hold a direction. You can do the same with Matty, and it would be true for Toad/Toadette as well if their karts didn't work a bit differently. I can definitely fix it for Dan if it's preferred, but yeah, haha!

Really glad to hear you like him! And yeah I'd like to think so too, haha!

After maining this character for a few months, I can happily say this is my favorite character on the workshop. However, there are a few bugs that I've encountered

In a 1v1, if one Dan drives his car into another Dan's unoccupied car, they will fly away

Against Morshu, the book from his down air and the doors from his dash attack can be grabbed and thrown but do not have a hitbox when that happens. Not sure if that's intended. Also, grabbing the car while Dan is riding doesn't prevent Dan from leaving the car

Holding diagonally in any direction while taunting while cause Dan to flicker between the two taunts

If you ram into a wall with the runabout and do not hold a direction, the car will slide backwards with dan still driving it without flipping visually. It still has acts normal otherwise, but the visuals could be improved

None of these are game breaking or hamper my enjoyment of the character, but they are technically issues. Thanks again for the excellent mod!

this honestly might be my favorite workshop character ever. all of his moves represent the original cartoon so incredibly well and the animations are top notch. im sure if chuck jones saw this he'd think it was dope.

@itemframe543
You're the first to tell me that it didn't, haha! Fixed it real quick, so it should work correctly again as soon as he gets another patch!

While Dan might be my favourite workshop character, he would be even better if rune I (hate now does x3 instead of x2) worked.

HE HAS A MEGA MIND SKIN ARE WE GETTING A MEGA MIND PLAYER?!?!
alphonsoh13 29 Oct, 2024 @ 2:32pm 
Oh ok
FelixBlobDev  [author] 29 Oct, 2024 @ 10:56am 
@alphonsoh13
They can literally do that! That's already a thing, haha
alphonsoh13 29 Oct, 2024 @ 5:26am 
Here's a idea make it where Toad and Toadette can steal Dan's runabout and Dan backslide can steal their car

@Gentleman Crow
No plans for Rivals 2 currently, but thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you like the character, haha!
Gentleman Crow 27 Sep, 2024 @ 4:14pm 
This is genius! Thank you for putting in Dan Backslide! "A roundabout! I'll steal it and no one will ever know!" Are you planning on putting Dan and your other characters into Rivals 2 when Rivals 2 comes out?
alphonsoh13 14 Sep, 2024 @ 12:01pm 
this mf hurts himself more then a mentally unwell person bro wth
FelixBlobDev  [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 12:43pm 
@mit
Ah... Yeah, that explains it actually, haha.

For some context, Talking Flower has a weird cheapie list thing to it, and the person who made it basically put all my characters on said list. It's a kinda unnecessary feature, and mostly just gets players very confused.
As for why the creator of the buddy did this, they just seem very strange and drama-focused from what I've seen.

So, to solve the problem you'd have to either ask for it to be changed, or avoid using that buddy altogether unfortunately. Which is obviously a shame, as the Talking Flower should probably not confuse players by doing this stuff.

With all that said, I apologize for the inconvenience! People should be allowed to play whatever characters they want, but at least the good news is that Dan himself should be completely usable, haha.

If you're wondering about anything else just let me know!
mit 29 Apr, 2024 @ 12:27pm 
@felix, it seemed to happen regardless for a couple matches, but i stopped having the buddy equipped and it stopped. i was mostly using the talking flower, i first discovered this the other day so i can't remember if i was using anything else

there would be some moves that would deplete either dan's or the opponent's stocks to 1 on hit, but the problem seemed to be caused by dan in relation to something else? i'm still playing now so i'll let you know if it comes up under different conditions, but yea it seems to just be the buddy at least which is nice in the interim! dan's one of my favorite characters so the thought of having to bench him made me sad lol
FelixBlobDev  [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 12:23pm 
@mit
Hi! That does sound super weird, I haven't seen anything like that myself and Dan is definitely not supposed to do that, lol.
Doesn't sound like a bug that typically happens either, although bugged installations aren't unheard of on workshop! Sometimes stuff just acts weird and reinstalling the character does the trick.

Still, just to make sure: Were there any other characters in the match or anything like that? Any specific stage? Were you using any particular buddies? Or does it happen regardless of all that? It does sound like something else could be messing with it, but that's still kind of a rough guess, haha.
mit 29 Apr, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
hey, has something changed with dan? it seems like using some smash attacks causes his stocks to drop down to 1, i don't think this was always the case
Maxime Richard Studio (M.R.S.) 20 Feb, 2024 @ 8:25am 
the character who makes me laugh the most 🤣
chrismrhach 16 Feb, 2024 @ 9:08am 
Can you make every character to be able to ride the runabout with side special like Wario's bike plz
Spubbily01 28 Sep, 2023 @ 4:50pm 
A workshop character, I'LL STEAL IT! NO-ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
BopBoBay 16 Sep, 2023 @ 10:04pm 
Greetings, i was wondering if it would be possible to make the kamehameha from munos goku mod and the galick gun from smileys vegeta mod push the car backwards with dan so that goku or vegeta does not get hit by it, canceling their lazer attacks. pretty please with cherries on top

FelixBlobDev  [author] 29 Jul, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
@wesbobsquarepants Common Rivals bug that some people experience. Not a bug with the character and it's just the game itself unfortunately!
Black Shuck 29 Jul, 2023 @ 11:53am 
So sometimes when choosing colors specifically after the telegram colors the entire game crashes, Something might be broken.
Theodore Masters Peterson 9 Jul, 2023 @ 11:10pm 
i'd like to ask how it's fair that he can side dodge out of a fuckin launch
FelixBlobDev  [author] 12 Jun, 2023 @ 8:23am 
@MAJR Glad you enjoy Dan! Give him a like to boost visibility if you want!
MAJR 12 Jun, 2023 @ 3:02am 
I have slept on this mod for fsr too long, I absolutely love it!
FelixBlobDev  [author] 25 May, 2023 @ 10:32am 
@AzureTheEgg
Dan has no anti-cheapie at all actually, so I'm not sure lol. That would have to be something about Ronald somehow.
AzureTheEgg 25 May, 2023 @ 10:25am 
Does Dan Backslide have some kind of anti-cheapie mechanic? I noticed that against Ronald, and only Ronald after a little testing, Dan Backslide often takes this translucent and slightly lighter appearance.
Theodore Masters Peterson 20 May, 2023 @ 5:46pm 
I'LL STEAL IT!
BugsyBoy1938 10 Nov, 2022 @ 1:11pm

@WabbitTwacks1938 Thank you, glad you like him! And yeah more characters are still coming. :)
BugsyBoy1938 10 Nov, 2022 @ 8:49am 
Absolutely one of the funniest Workshop characters i've ever played! Keep up the good work, bud!

@Noremac Effyf Ah thank you! And no worries, there will be more!
Noremac Effyf 26 Jun, 2022 @ 5:35pm 
Have a great day. You are doing great work and I am anticipated for what comes next.
FelixBlobDev  [author] 26 Jun, 2022 @ 5:23pm 
@Noremac Effyf Glad you like the character! Someone else did mention that the mute function either didn't work or didn't affect enough sound effects, but I haven't really gotten to look at it. I might eventually though.
Noremac Effyf 26 Jun, 2022 @ 5:06pm 
I enjoy the voice-lines, but this character's mute function at the beginning of the match doesn't work. Nothing against the creator or the character, but sometimes playing a character with this many voice clips and sound effects can be a bit much at times. Other than that, amazing character!
DrLenny 18 Jun, 2022 @ 8:14pm 
my new favorite character

i am legit crying from laughing so much during and after a match
FelixBlobDev  [author] 29 May, 2022 @ 8:42pm 
@Zatgai Thank you! A lot does go into these, so it's nice that you enjoy that, haha.
Also sadly no, Dan already has all of his alts!
Zatgai 29 May, 2022 @ 6:37pm 
I love how much heart goes into these characters all while giving them a viable moveset from their source materials, seriously, it's amazing.

Wishful thinking but would it be possible to have a Spamton alt color for Dan here?
