I think I've sorted the parry problem, but we'll see.

And hey, don't worry about that. I'd rather get something like this than nothing at all.

I feel there's a disconnect on what I mean with the parry part. Say that there's a stage with 3 levels on it.

Maypul's plant is on the top platform while the players are fighting on the bottom, no one's on the center platform. Zetterburn does his side special and Kragg parries it. Maypul's plant ends up in parry stun despite the fact that no one is around to trigger it and it hasn't attacked in the first place.

That's what I'm experiencing when playing with a friend (remote play/local play) in team battles when using her, and I don't get why it's a thing.

As for the rune, I guess I didn't feel too much of a difference with it vs without it? Because when I noticed that it didn't mean something like "3 hits in one charge", my next guess was that it affected wind up/end lag, but I couldn't tell too much even while spamming it. It's very likely this one could just be me though and I don't want to have you stressing over one random dude's claims on an otherwise well made character.

Yeah, when Maypul's plant attacks a player's parry, it goes into it's own stun state.

Are you sure? Because that rune has a quicker startup and less endlag, but it's weaker. Making it spamable in rune play.

Really? It seems to be working fine on my end, and I haven't heard anyone else mention any issues with that. There are two sound cues, one for the mid-charge and one for the full charge. If this is still a problem, I'll add a charge bar that appears underneath Wapeach in a later patch, either in training or normal play.

I don't recall Maypul's plant ever getting stunned because of a parried attack it wasn't apart of though (ex: Kragg parries Zetterburn's fireball, so Maypul's plant gets stunned??).

The runes I ask because one of them for example being turning her DStrong into "Tantrum City", yet there was no difference I could tell? While the reduced/removed endlag on her DAir is very noticeable, only slightly slower than Speedrunner Mario's at high speed.

And ok, so I've only been seeing her mid charge then since the audio plays but she only glows a soft orange/yellow, meaning that her full charge takes *a while* to charge then huh?

She has some runes that are available to pick while the rest are blank until later patches add them and so on.

The Chain Chomp getting stunned from parries follows how Maypul's Minion Plant gets stunned when it gets parried, so yes. Unless there's a hiccup going on.

The full charge for Wapeach would make her flicker back and forth with a specific colour. And the final charge has the fastest speed/distance compared to the other charge rates and grants temporary soft armour while spinning away.
Quiet Ketsueki 7 Jun @ 9:34pm 
So, this is just a guess, but I'm assuming the "partial rune functions" means that some of her written ones don't work 100% yet or is it something else?

Otherwise, she feels fun to play/goof off with as someone who mains faster rushdown types. However, is it intentional that her Chain Chomp end up stunned when (anyone) gets a parry or is it only supposed to be if she herself or it gets parried? Playing with a friend has the AI parry her and the Chomp on the other side of the field gets stunned when no one is around it.

I can't tell with her side special also if I'm just not hearing it or otherwise if the charge is full or mid. I hear the Mario Kart countdown noise, but I can't figure if it's supposed to be the signifier for a full charge or mid charge (if it charges that fast). Mostly because the range feels the same between the 3 states in a match.

is a nice character very good !
The Great G.B.A  [author] 6 Jun @ 1:14am 
Correct!
Lad 5 Jun @ 10:57pm 
i think wapeach was a unused mario tennis character or something.
Dash 3 Jun @ 5:35pm 
@The Great G.B.A Oh wow you actually changed the hit effect! I was more expecting her actual sprite to change than the effect itself (if you chose to add anything at all), but now that I think about it that would take probably far more work aha. Cool addition!

your coffee table 31 May @ 7:44pm 
ok so i counted 3 taunts in this character, idk if theres more but its under investigation
Dash 31 May @ 10:45am 
Yeah, I picked up on it working like the Custom Move instantly lol. I just meant aesthetically you could change the sprite and even the hit effect/SFX to match Peach's but only on that palette aha. Just tossing random ideas, I like her a lot! Took me a while to find out she had a side taunt too, probs my fave xD "WAH"
pinkthing613 31 May @ 8:20am 
y'know what fair enough i can't argue with that
The Great G.B.A  [author] 31 May @ 7:12am 
@pinkthing613
It is what it is. :SF6_Delta_Cat:

@Dash
Thanks! I could probably make the bombs more chaotic with Runes in any later patches/updates, but for normal play, that's not what I was going for.
As for the side B switcharoo idea, her elbow dash basically behaves like Peach's Smash 4 custom move, the Flying Peach Bomber, but with a Wario-flair. Appreciate the feedback, though.
Dash 31 May @ 6:49am 
This is really good! The bombs are a slight bit underwhelming (I expected different effects like the green one poisons you or something) but overall I like her a lot. Love the LuVVucy voice easter egg LOL
Maybe the Peach color could have an easter egg that replaces Aerial Side Special with a (Wa)peach Bomber sprite? Would be same range and power and all, just a funny nod that she's wearing Peach colors lol. Just an idea for the future heh, great character!

Miyamoto assumed Wapeach was gonna be gorilla, and he already had Donkey Kong, so he said no.

I bet he feels embarrassed right now. :HappyNatsu:
