this is one of the best characters i've played as, very intuitive

I believe I found a bug where when hitting multiple characters with Wes' down smash it causes a low humming noise, and when doing it again it makes the sound louder.
I'm unsure if it only works against other Wes' but I just thought I'd mention it

Something very powerful about this character is that they can reverse gravity, and then at percents as low at 45% they can kill with their down air spike. This allows for combos like UpAttack, Nspecial (Burn, delay, burn, gravity = y), UpAir, Then jump up to them while they're at the top of the stage after they get to 33%, which is a combo that kills at 10% if they don't successfully avoid it, it's very funny to put kill pressure at 10%. (I absolutely love this character)

This is kinda random but if you'd be willing the friends request I had a question I was hoping to ask you.

Why can’t Wes be part of the storyline, I mean they literally helped invent a time travel device so they should be able to connect in the storyline since time travel ain’t a element.

i'd like him more if he wasn't in a chair all the time not hating

The ammount of people saying this doesn't fit rivals 2 is baffling to me. I get why you'd think the down special is a bit much (Although I would LOVE to see some iteration of it make it into Rivals 2), but the rest of the kit is perfectly fine. And for the people saying "doesn't fit the fire theme": Clairen, Pomme, Hodan, Ranno and (to a lesser extent) Olympia fit their element only tangentially; a hacker coming from the future doesn't clash with the general vibe of the current fire roster at all.

this is so fucking cool
aertghwerf 4 Feb, 2024 @ 8:57am 
cool but does not fit rivals thematically imo
SlothTurdle 29 Jan, 2024 @ 3:39pm 
favorite character! hope this wins
Godtier Waifu 19 Jan, 2024 @ 3:55pm 
my iq isnt high enough for him :(
champagne.daniel 9 Jan, 2024 @ 7:08pm 
aww he's not as cool now that ayala invented it, wes helped develop it as a contractor
Conrad 2 Jan, 2024 @ 1:37pm 
Ah I see.
Muno  [author] 2 Jan, 2024 @ 8:04am 
ayala invented it, wes helped develop it as a contractor :P
Conrad 2 Jan, 2024 @ 12:55am 
I'm sorry to be a debby downer, but Ayala is confirmed to be the inventor of the time machine. Nice try, better luck next year.
I'm only poking fun of course. Love this character, 10/10
champagne.daniel 1 Jan, 2024 @ 9:15am 
he deserves to win but he feels a bit too out there for roa

Muno  [author] 31 Dec, 2023 @ 4:16pm 
write "burned = true" and then grab them with nspecial
D YellowMadness 30 Dec, 2023 @ 8:20pm 
How do you use down special to effect the enemy though? I keep picking "enemy" but no matter what I code, it just effects me instead of them. How do I set the enemy on fire, for example?

Muno, I found some details on the crash, and a fix!

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/383980/discussions/2/4030223299347851882/

In short the crash depends on the index of the character mod within a Steam user's list of subscribed workshop items. According to the thread it needs to be "above around 24", which is vague, but I tried it and it worked for me!

The instructions are below - it might be worth updating the notice in the mod description!

To fix it, follow these steps:
1. Unsubscribe from every workshop mod you have in the game.
2. Subscribe to at least 24 stages. (this must be done first!)
3. Subscribe to whatever else you want now, characters should not have this bug anymore.

If you unsubscribe from any of the initial 24 stages, it will happen again, so keep them.

Cool af
Wes for R2:steamthumbsup:
Muno  [author] 28 Dec, 2023 @ 4:51am 
crashing when changing skins is a rivals bug, not caused by a specific character. unfortunately i haven't heard of a way to reliably fix it. i heard it might have something to do with your save file or whether or not you've bought DLC, but nobody knows what the exact conditions are
Ladybunne 26 Dec, 2023 @ 9:57pm 
Just returning to confirm that the palette menu crash I reported back in September is still occurring. I'd love to be able to use some of the costumes behind Assembly, and it's great to see Wes is still getting updates.

Is there any chance the bug can be fixed? I'm happy to help if that would be useful.
Kira 20 Dec, 2023 @ 6:17pm 
Also, AI for him would be really cool!
Kira 20 Dec, 2023 @ 2:40pm 
As someone who's messed around briefly with coding, and can somewhat understand all of it, I really like this character! Perhaps there should be less options, though, as coding seems to be quite slow for the character, which is my only concern.
eye0h 16 Dec, 2023 @ 6:59pm 
This is the coolest character in anything ever I think. I cannot code so the barrier to entry is nuts lol. It seems too out there for r2 but wow this is incredible
Symzll 14 Dec, 2023 @ 9:17pm 
If the down special is changed to be more noncoder friendly then I’d love this to be added
AlestOwOry 8 Dec, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
ok uh, I want this fella to win, pretty hard
Succ 6 Dec, 2023 @ 6:26pm 
You can also use the second stick to quickly scroll down code so you can get some code in, he's pretty high execution so it might be hard at first but you'll figure it out.
Succ 6 Dec, 2023 @ 6:26pm 
@ElBrunos If it helps any you can type a small line then press the parry button to exit out of the code, which saves the last bit of code you typed. So the strat is you plan out a line of code you want to make then type it out as the match goes on.
ElBrunos 6 Dec, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
I reeeeallyyyy like the character, but i feel like down special is pretty useless, since its literally impossible to do a full code, you cant even make one with level 1 CPU. I think he should get some armor while you use down special, so light attacks dont affect him while using his down special.:steamhappy:
Gandrake 6 Dec, 2023 @ 12:29pm 
Interesting character, but definitely not a Rivals character. The gimmick is way too out there and doesn't fit with the rest of the cast.
N0Chanc3* 26 Nov, 2023 @ 9:44am 
To do loops first write code with down special, and then do a strong attack. While charging press jump and it should switch to your code instead of the usual strong attack code.
amini_pezhman 25 Nov, 2023 @ 11:13am 
How do you do loops?
Muno  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 6:06am 
yep, in lua/ksp/etc the shorthands are there because writing it out in full (e.g. x = x + 1) wouldn't fit the UI size constraints
across the games 15 Nov, 2023 @ 5:19pm 
really cool character and idea! one tiny nitpick though, lua doesn't have the shorthands +=/*=/-=, other than that though i love this character!
⌁Toaster Joe⌁ 15 Nov, 2023 @ 5:13pm 
this does not brain for me
Muno  [author] 10 Nov, 2023 @ 5:52am 
the classic pipe bomb
Sporkinator 9 Nov, 2023 @ 10:36pm 
obscenely hard setup. but,
for loop into
chair.x = enemy.x
chair.y = enemy.y
chair.firewall()
delay()
is really really funny and has mad percent rackup + kill potential.
chaseyaji 9 Nov, 2023 @ 2:38pm 
i havent used this character yet but its a great idea!. i actually have another idea if anyone is willing to use it. why not make loxodont a character. i bet he would be a great part of rivals 2s story (if there is one). i hope this idea is helpful for anyone who sees this. dont worry you dont have to give me any credit. im just happy to help someone out.
Muno  [author] 8 Nov, 2023 @ 5:33am 
the same way clairen is
commanderdemon 7 Nov, 2023 @ 10:05am 
how is this guy fire based
like he has firewall but that's it
it's not a theme in his design at all
LiweVire 30 Oct, 2023 @ 8:37am 
this character should not win. it seems very well made in terms of graphic design and concept, but really does not fit into rivals 2 at all but some people don't seem to think about that. also hello zetterburn forward air?????
plantgaming 25 Oct, 2023 @ 5:19am 
what the scallop
RoyOurBoi 14 Oct, 2023 @ 4:10am 
This ROA2 character is DAMN COOL. Wes has so many cool gimmicks! And the fact that you can use your codding for so many different things and how the chair/laptop gimmick work is executed so damn good! You did so good and I love the different color references. Wes is phenomenal.
