Was there ever a plan to make her HUSTLE do damage like the other characters?
I feel like the big "explosion" or the spin-kick parts of her hustle would make great spots for small bits of damage.

The explosion SHOULD already do damage! It's a super late hitbox, so you're rewarded with a massive hitbox.

If it doesn't do damage, I'll fix that.

Seems I was just mistaken and had a confusing hitbox moment while playing last night, I just misunderstood it's AOE.

so i've been playing with Sata recently and the past few matches Sata has done zero damage

Definitely need some assistance

Do you have the replay files? There's no reason she would be doing zero damage unless you've got some weird mod or match setting.

for some reason, any time i try and load this character my game crashes

i've been getting a lot of people saying that, though i can't replicate the issue at all myself.
have you tried clearing your character cache? otherwise, contact me on discord and i'll look into it further

Does Sata have more backstory outside her appearance in yomi? :o

she does! she's the Prime Deity of the six that exist in my worldbuilding project; i'd be happy to discuss further within her thread on the YOMIH modding discord lol

This is probably my favorite yomi character, I just love the design and movement options. The only idea I have could be maybe a super and/or a throw that wraps the opponent in strings but even without that they're super cool.

I'm a little confused about Sata's supers, Solar Wind is really hard to combo into, doesn't have any invuln to be used as a reversal, and you cant set the distance to zero? Then Wallrush doesn't have a hitbox, sends you to the nearest corner (which seems like a primarily bad thing) and has its own meter for some reason? I'm just wondering what the intended purpose of these moves are, because when I play Sata I struggle to find a use for meter and usually have 9 bars for half the game. Some explanation would be greatly appreciated!

wall rush is intended as a pursuit tool, just as solar wind is! wall rush is limited due to its utility in corner-stalling above reachable areas, and is useful mostly in catching people sent far away from hard-hitting moves or outwards di.

solar wind takes some getting used to, but i've found it useful myself and have seen it used a lot in bracket... so maybe just keep playing with it? like many things her supers are kind of something that has to be learned

i'll look at solar wind and wall rush, though, you make a good point! they could be more universal

Hey so Sata has quickly become one of my favorite workshop characters, and her intro has left me wanting to know a little more about her lore. Is what we see in-game like, her actual incarnate form, or is she manipulating some sort of effigy like a puppet?

@Grawhide you kinda nailed it with that! i would be happy to talk more about this in her thread on the yomi modding discord server

in-game, her representation is not, in fact, an incarnate form, but a plushie/puppet made to let her channel herself through. this means that any styles you apply to her in-game are technically aligned to her canon, as while sata would never look purple with lime green hair and a halo of particles, one may certainly make a doll for her that does!
