It happens when D-Pad is set to dash, yeah. I tried to fix this issue when it was mentioned before but I just couldn't figure it out, sorry D-Pad dash users...! It seems to be a weird quirk with Rivals' input system combined with how I coded the airdash input.

I don't know if people said this before but the Dpad is bugged where when you jump or short hop it instantly air dashes every time

omg all of the sprite art is perfect!! his gatlings and special cancels are sick. i love how he correctly turns after j.D/b-air into sidewinder and it's funny you even included the hurtbox on gunflame feint. It's also cool how you included moves from xx, xrd, & strive

i see someone else called his moves stubby which is funny because that's how it feels in +R lol

You wanna be Crazy?

That being said, I'm not dismissing anyone's criticism here. I'm just saying what I think, as I'm pretty confident after the extensive playtesting the character has had with various groups of players on varying levels of skill.

If there's more of a general consensus on the character being too weak, or otherwise a lot of consistent solid criticisms on the character, then I'll definitely consider making some changes. But as it is, I don't fully believe the character needs to be changed significantly at the moment.

The dash attack is like that by design. It's not really meant to be used as an easy approach tool, but more of a situational one. It's great at calling out rolls, sliding under projectiles, and avoiding high-hitting moves. His down-tilt is decent at doing the latter two, as well.

On top of that, Sol can special cancel out of a LOT of his attacks, which allows him to convert and score more damage off of a stray hit rather easily.

Even besides all that... you have a pretty useful airdash that's rather versatile for movement, for baiting/punishing options, and pretty much anything else. Sol as a whole will rely a lot on parrying, hard reads, and otherwise baiting and punishing when dealing with characters that can wall him out.

Essentially, I designed him in my image based on playing him in Guilty Gear (mostly Xrd) and I think where he sits right now is pretty good. I think giving him any better methods of approaching at this point will offset the balance.

I wouldn't say that's completely true.

The character is a close-range bruiser, with his neutral control/larger, stronger moves typically (with some exceptions) being his slowest ones in exchange for his fast close-range attacks and easy gatling combos allowing him to overwhelm people and keep up combos that reward you for staying on top of the opponent.
He can kill pretty quickly if the opponent isn't careful, but can also be walled out pretty hard by characters that simply have better neutral - or zoners.

He has some low-commitment approach options as well - his forward air is an incredible tool for approaching. Good range, a bit of a disjoint, low recovery, and it's easy to combo after regardless of when and where you hit it. Down air is useful too, but riskier and overall slower. Neutral air is perfectly fine as well, even despite it seeming small.
Neutral special on the ground will help you a lot if you're having trouble approaching too.

but that also means he's got no tools to actually hit consistently, and his dash attack has a weird blindspot that makes it awkward.
like, he's fun, i like him, but it's impossible to pin down some characters simply because he has no way to reach using his tilts

That's the point.

he's so cool but he's so stubby ;-;

Listening to Find Your One Way will make this character PEAK.

Sol Badguy with voices on is so obnoxious I'm willing to bet it was like that on purpose (other than that good character)

id pay for slayer to be added no joke

I love you

@teruko if you don't make baiken for rivals of aether then make ky kiske next

Can you make Ky Kiske next?

As a Guilty Gear fan, I love this mod... For the most part. This is a nitpick, but I felt like his dash attack being Nightrave Vortex (I assume) feels very awkward due to it's very small hitbox, and can feel very punishing after a whiff (which is pretty easy with this move)

It's purely a cosmetic thing, but you can choose specifically what spear drops for Muno's Link when he gets one from an opponent (only the first time though), as opposed to it being a random one. In Sol's case it drops the flame spear.

Great Sol! just a question, what does it mean by "Muno Link spear drop compatibility"? Does it drop an extra spear or smt?

omg this is everything i wanted from the original sol mod and more this is so sick

Wait "sol badguy" is a real thing?? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SHITPOST OF SAUL GOODMAN!?"

This is amazing! Now we just need Ky and Baiken~

So I found a bug in turbo mode. If you cancel down special the opponent gets stuck in place until do it again. you can still damage them while they are stuck.

sidewinder loops real?!?!

this truly is bullshit blazing

Did a pretty good job with him All the gattlings feel pretty good and quite like how the specials function from the time I spent messing around with him. Also love that Night Raid Vortex made it in as a dash attack; that move and its predecessor Grand Viper deserve more love. Like mentioned earlier, please look into the dpad movements so us dpad players don't miss out on playing Sol at our best. Also, I second fafnir's inclusion like maybe as a special + normal button combination? But like you said, major movement adjustments later - I'm more pushing for dpad movements than anything else for now

I think his up air could be buffed a lil bit but otherwise an amazing port of the character. Just had a blast playing some rounds against a friend with him

look, he's so fucking cool. But he's so slooooooooooow.
also i prefer the strive design.

Hm... I did consider other controller options, but I didn't think about dpad movement at all, whoops. I'll try to resolve this in the next patch, along with some other things.

REALLY cool character buuuut.... he has an issue where hell always air dash if you use DPad movement when holding left or right not double tapping

also i think he needs a bit more dps & kill power

Fantastic character, I've had a hell of a time playing him. I'd like to see bandit revolver a little better as an option to land onstage after a walljump, though. Right now your sprite can be above the stage, but your collision will leave you offstage in pratfall, which can feel pretty rough.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback on the character. I will wait a little longer before making any major adjustments to his moveset, but I am considering everyone's feedback on it in the meantime.

Awesome mod, but man he could use some buffs. His ground normals feel kinda slow, and his strongs a little weak, but I'm in love with the specials. Incredible work.

Sol Badguy

Feels incredible great job. I just wish Fafnir could be implemented somehow!

This mod is AMAZING.
You even got DI as an abyss rune. Beautiful.

Seoul Bad Person

i would love to see Rev Faust next

Tested his out, and as a guilty gear player, this shit is pretty cool!

Aside from the amazing sprite work and the fluidity of his moveset, the way you translated +R Sol and Rev 2 Sol into the Rivals format was done extremely well. I can't wait to experiment with clean hit sidewinder combos!

Most of all, it's a neat detail that just like in Guilty Gear, holding forward and pressing taunt will actually perform a respect rather than the usual taunt.

PEAK

SMELL OF THE GAME

can you make baiken next

really glad to see him in game but damn he huge.

How does a guy with a giant sword have hitboxes this small

FINALLY. OH MY GOD. this looks so good but i can't even play it for a whole week because i don't have the computer i play rivals on :(
