@Skelly34wtc Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like Rudra as much as I do. Even though I didn't win the contest, my ultimate goal was to make something that other people could enjoy. So I guess I succeeded there.

I've been really busy with school and some new Rivals stuff, BUT I really want to update this character since I've got the time now. It's been too long since I've worked on him.

Oh, and you can thank WuzzyFuzzy for the lore ;p

@(Pyro) davidramirezmdq Thank you for the compliment!

This is my main in rivals and this is one of my favorite characters relating video games in GENERAL even though he isn’t cannon. Peak character lore as well. Great job

WHAT DID YOU PUT YOUR AI ON

@cmgillespie12 Workshop support for Rivals 2 is really far out, but I'm definitely not opposed to the idea!
Connorg641 13 Jul, 2024 @ 6:02pm 
are you going to add this character to rivals 2 as a workshop character?
spadster  [author] 5 Jun, 2024 @ 4:56pm 
@the Critic He's pretty crazy! Feel free to check out my Balancing / Feedback Discussion thread if you have any specific suggestions.
spadster  [author] 5 Jun, 2024 @ 4:53pm 
@wooperisgod That's a really funny coincidence actually LOL

This guy looks like master from pixel ripped (Its a vr game)
spadster  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 9:46pm 
@mushroom man Yeah, Rudra's combo game is definitely really strong. If you have any balance related feedback for me, I'm always down to hear you out in Balancing / Feedback Discussion.
mushroom man 7 Apr, 2024 @ 3:23pm 
this guy can combo so ez its crazy

@BrogusAmogus Glad to hear you're enjoying Rudra!

... and don't worry about the CPU. It humbles me, too.
BrogusAmogus 30 Mar, 2024 @ 5:15pm 
cpu hath humble me to a low level. btw love this character
spadster  [author] 29 Mar, 2024 @ 12:04pm 
@BrogusAmogus Hi! Unfortunately, the CPU will improve in a future update. Get ready.

(Luckily for you, I don't know when that's happening.)
BrogusAmogus 29 Mar, 2024 @ 8:46am 
nerf cpu

The image embedding issue should be fixed!
spadster  [author] 22 Feb, 2024 @ 2:18pm 
Hi guys! I noticed that all image embeds I had for the description and patch notes are kind of screwed up right now. I'll try to have a fix for this out ASAP
spadster  [author] 18 Feb, 2024 @ 12:00pm 
No problem. Hope you're having fun with my character!
levictory64 18 Feb, 2024 @ 11:29am 
tysm! 👍
spadster  [author] 14 Feb, 2024 @ 8:50pm 
@levictory64 Hi! Sorry about the late reply, I've been busy with school

You're able to continue charging FSTRONG in the air as platforms disappear beneath Rudra. In terms of legal basegame stages, you'd probably only see this on Julesvale with the small platform that occasionally passes by at the top. But you can also use this by standing on the top of DSPECIAL if you know the timing for when it disappears (or if someone destroys it from underneath you)
levictory64 13 Feb, 2024 @ 5:46am 
What are the other ways to do Fstrong in the air? I only got the ‘run off the ledge’ tech.
spadster  [author] 6 Feb, 2024 @ 4:10am 
but yes @champagne.daniel get hype!! the update is now out!!
spadster  [author] 6 Feb, 2024 @ 4:07am 
I accidentally deleted a comment NOOOO im so bad at this
champagne.daniel 3 Feb, 2024 @ 3:21pm 
genesis alt for this guy! AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
spadster  [author] 1 Feb, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
Hi everyone! Super stoked to announce that Rudra is confirmed to be in the official Genesis X Workshop Roster. I'll be rolling out a patch within a few days that makes some minor balancing tweaks and bugfixes to Rudra, as well as adding a few new things to the practice mode menu. Please play my character. Please. He's very lonely.
champagne.daniel 28 Jan, 2024 @ 8:42am 
okay. Thats what I thought
spadster  [author] 28 Jan, 2024 @ 8:15am 
@champagne.daniel if you're referring to the dark matter attacks then yeah, they are. i felt like thatd draw attention to them a bit more
champagne.daniel 28 Jan, 2024 @ 6:46am 
I do have one question. Are the attacks where he loses some detail intentional
spadster  [author] 27 Jan, 2024 @ 7:58pm 
@daguyz377 thank you!
spadster  [author] 27 Jan, 2024 @ 7:56pm 
@champagne.daniel LMAO, you might just be one of the few people to understand rudra perfectly
daguyz377 26 Jan, 2024 @ 11:37am 
it looks like both the character and the lore would do well in ROA2. especially the part where the abyss isn't just a 2-D evil thing.
champagne.daniel 25 Jan, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
dammnit misclick didnt mean to type that
champagne.daniel 25 Jan, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
like sephiroth but less edgy and more goofy. And better and stronger and makes me want to marry him
spadster  [author] 21 Jan, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
just got around to reading everything i missed. thank you guys so much for the comments!
champagne.daniel 21 Jan, 2024 @ 1:08pm 
yes. I love that implication to Btw @the fella. Press sheild while taunting
OriginalAdam 21 Jan, 2024 @ 1:06pm 
I just realised that the stars are actually the tutorial characters like orby, since rudra shares some attacks with them.
champagne.daniel 21 Jan, 2024 @ 12:48pm 
BEST ABYSS THEMED CHARACTER
sprout 21 Jan, 2024 @ 12:43pm

Sir Jtag 21 Jan, 2024 @ 12:09pm 
fstrong is broken XD
champagne.daniel 20 Jan, 2024 @ 9:57pm 
this Might be one of my favourite characters from the rivals 2 contest. He is just so so fun to play
champagne.daniel 20 Jan, 2024 @ 9:50pm 
Oh wow that is incredibly cool!
spadster  [author] 20 Jan, 2024 @ 6:32pm 
abyss! @champagne.daniel

originally it was air, but i heard we were allowed to make our characters' elements abyss so i ended up leaning fully into it
champagne.daniel 20 Jan, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
What is his element. Is it fire cause of the float and wings or is it fire because of the explosions and stuff
