naaa write up i appreciate it!! sorry i dont reply to everythin but i read it all

This guy made a whole essay about usher

Usher is a pretty fun character and cute one too though, one gripe I have with her is that her dspecial rain cloud gimmick (which is kind of unique) it leaves too little for the imagination to experiment with as the only way to use it is to use it for it's intended purpose there isn't really much that can be done with it and what could be done with it could be considered as annoying to the player on the receiving end (as it could be hit with the ice balls while they're trying to get back to the stage).
If her cloud had more interactions than just give an opponent a longer vertical hitbox for side-special, neutral-special and forward-strong(which alone kinda makes it busted as an Usher can just camp the ledge and repeatedly hit the rain cloud with f-strong lol) it would be cool.

but as she is right now, she is pretty solid as is.
awesome character, you did good work.

Raincloud takes away the need to edge guard, mechanic makes it unfun and boring for the opponent. Every aerial is oppressive and nearly unable to be countered. Up air can be chained by a simple tech of fast falling making you HAVE to DI away which is problematic on ledge. Too fast and oddly slow at the same time? Goofy character I don't know how to feel about. great job tho the sprites are epic

ok i take it back she is very fast and fun

After playing more I noticed that the whole raincloud mechanic is just not a very good idea in a platform fighter. Maybe I haven't used it to it's full potential or there is some cool tech I'm missing but I just use it to ledgetrap the opponent and it removes the whole going offstage to edgeguard because if you have the raincloud active there is very little reason to bother going offstage. So it makes a part of the game boring for both players. Raincloud barely matters on stage too.

Don't take this too seriously because I don't see how you would change this without changing the character too much and making it feel different than the original idea. It's more of a platform fighter philosophy though. It doesn't change my enjoyment of the character because the mechanic is a very little part of the gameplay (or at least how I play).

The rainy and snowy counterpart of Natsumi Andoh!

Pretty fun character to play as and bonus points for the Future Media and Swaying palette!

@heaven after getting to play against a player for once, i think im personally inclined to agree! thank you for the feedback

new hyu character!? no way?!

Ok, having played a bit more of Usher, I think the duration of the raincloud feels unsatisfying. It both feels too long when you are taking advantage of it by continuously hitting the opponent with ice moves (especially for edgeguard) and too short as the cloud basically dissapear the instant you get hit by something.
I think it would be better if the timer was less polarized (not sure if that's the right word for what I mean).

Do you think Lumia will get an update? I think she deserves to be modernized and re-adjusted for Modern Rivals!!

thank you!

Very cute character. Loves how it plays and the SFX are also very good (I love the Taunt sound for some reason). I'm a big fan of the Rain and Ice theme and as a big Dr. Mario enjoyer in Ultimate (my most played by FAR), I can feel a bit of his spirit into this character and that's really cool.

Easily in my top 5 character on the Workshop.

Ah yes, that R&B singer.

HYPONIA

thanks everyone!!!
@haze for this i can unfortunately only say blame dr mario

why is she so goddamn slow

Love Usher, All-Star Heroines is a great pack so far! Lots of fun, and congrats.

I've started using her now & yeah, she's super fun. She's like the Dr. Mario/Hat Kid hybrid I never asked for but still very much appreciate. As expected, the rain is the best part.

dr usher

this isn't a jam - these are all from the character pack All-Star Heroines! oh yeah i didnt link it in the description.. heres the presentation, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXVokkZjLqs

okay what's the theme of the character jam going on because i haven't recognized any new rivals workshop characters in like a month

congrats on the release!

I haven't used Usher yet (despite having been eager to ever since I saw the preview) but Dr. Mario specifically from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is always deserving of thanks.

oh god that was 8 syllables not 7 i can't believe it i'm a fraud

The thuds on the rooftop, soothing
Wet socks! My heart sinks
