hi link

Have a beautiful duwang

Noooooooooooooooooooooo charaaaaaaa! Come on

Fine

I don't care about the drama don't Lisen to them just do it please.

Imagine drama pressuring someone not to PLAY A FIGHTING GAME CHARACTER thats fucked up bruh, the people who pressured this hard CANNOT be any better than the dev themselves💀

​@@LoafOfOranges oh, and at the same time, fnf dramamongers try to cancel Cassette Girl, really good and stylish character *for exact same reason* as people who try to cancel Chara in this game wtf internet turned into some form of gossip chamber where any creator can be shunned because of unproved accusations and all must just accept censorship of all their art, or what its insane

@@AtticusKarpenter And also half the time controversy can just happen to be fake to make someone look bad,lol

@@skell6134 bruh.

@@justafan9206 You think im wrong ?

like i said, i had nothing but positive experiences with him so thats why i gave him the respect of not even covering the details because it's all "he said, she said" drama, but the amount of pressure i get behind the scenes about his characters is ridiculous. im just ready to move on. so this is my PSA that im putting the character to rest.

I feel bad for you, You honestly shouldn’t be harassed for enjoying a character. Enjoy who you enjoy- but apparently the RoA modding community disagrees which is just a shitty thing. I’m sorry you had to deal with this. Personally, i dont give a shit if the person who made these characters have “allegedly” done bad things, I still enjoy playing the characters they made like Reisen Fumo. But either way, very sorry you had to deal with this

Heyyo! Just wanna mention real quick that there's a LOT more than simple envy that got them shunned from the Workshop community. What got them permanently banned is something I don't want to discuss at all here, which makes up the majority of the controversy, but they've also been temporarily banned on a couple occasions for shadowbuffing their own characters before brackets and implementing cheat codes onto their characters that let them auto-parry attacks (and even winning a low-stakes weekly with it). There's just a lot of shaky history with Sai when it comes to the niche competitive scene Workshop has (which Sai was pretty heavily involved in), and considering the chances they were given prior, it's pretty understandable that they got permanently kicked the third time around. I absolutely respect Sai as a creator, even if I wasn't the biggest fan of fighting their characters. They made a lot of incredible works and earned the title of "Best Workshop Developer" at one point for a reason - it's just a damn shame that things ended up the way they did I guess. Hope they're doing well in other communities ^^

@@Wattmelon Well- for one thing he did apologize for all the cheating he did, I don’t remember if he tried to do something to redeem himself for it or what but apparently it was good enough for him to come back. And also in case your curious, He’s doing good. he moved on from modding in rivals and doing something different. don’t really want to specify anything more tho cuz i worry I’ll have him get potentially harassed again. just yeah- know he’s moved on to something else and he’s doing alright. And in any case, My point still stands: “hate the person, not the creation” because what if somebody doesnt even CARE that the person who created a fun character ended up being a shit person, I mean cmon, I could think of good examples for this. I dont feel like talking about this- This has already gotten me upset anyways

@@sircombat3259 They might've apologized, but actions tend to speak louder than words, and they didn't really change much after they were unbanned from what I remember? Also they were temporarily banned to begin with, so them coming back was out of principle, and not really because they apologized lol. Also also ik they're in the YOMI Hustle community and doing pretty well, which is nice to see ^^ If you still wanna play with their characters, nothing's stopping you! Sai has made some incredible works, and I totally get separating art from artist if you like the characters that much - bringing up controversy like this is just important to inform people that aren't aware of such. Plus in Linklight's case, avoiding presenting controversial topics/people and addressing such is likely the best thing he can do for his channel.

He did cheat a lot..

That would be pretty sweet!

Care-a Car-a Char-a Ca-ra Car-i-a (please don’t use this)

@@Smoldragoncat All but one of those completely ignores the H, Lol

@@SmoldragoncatI don’t think anyone uses the first fourth or fifth one

@@miniwhiffy3465actually I use the first one and so does the maker of this video and so does Toby Fox in fact as stated in an interview (I think) where he said that he pronounced it Chara (Care-a) as in Character

@LinklightToo And thank you for recorrecting Chara's name for other's sake! I too pronounce it as Character!

Thanks for recognizing my pain

@@Chaos_God_Chara I relate myself to Chara cause I know what betrayal feels like, so many times. Consider me a real life Chara, I'm nice until I'm not! And my intimidation skills are quite psychotic!

​@@Chaos_God_Chara can you beat uncle grampa tho

Yeah same. I also hyped up for Chara in the tournament Also why do I see your pfp everywhere

It's all just PR and damage control That's all youtube fucking is anymore Just people turning into one man corporations I'm fucking done I am so fucking sick of rivals and this sick fucking world and this stupid fucking fan base and this stupid website I hate everyone here and I'm never gonna come back I'm genuinely at my goddamn limit with this shit

​@@delvanoelvin It's from murder drones. it's pretty popular, and from what I remember, it's created by a huge content creator (SMG4), so maybe that's why you see it everywhere

@@justcallmetheguywhocomments oh ok

7:59 yeah he even admits it was clickbait

Wow, I guess I'll just lose respect for EVERYONE today

​@cherricake1796 its the new way to earn money in this society, just gonna have to deal with it

Chara vs SCAL, who do you say wins?

​@@jeronimoheuchert3786 LMAO DIDN'T EXPECT SOMEONE TO KNOW MY PFP. And it depends; If it's end of genocide, Chara'd probably win, being able to erase the world and all. Any point other than that, SCal wins. I mean, being able to evaporate an entire ocean and turn it into a desert is insane, plus SCal's whole deal with her magic makes her a really tough opponent to fight. Just imagine trying to attack her and bam, shield, bam, Sepulcher, bam, fire everywhere.

*them*

@@CalamitasBrimstoneWitch and what about the funny bone man?

@@zeo4481 Everyone has their headcanons, I have mine-

Tbh don’t let it bother you too much. Things happen in every community and the best thing we can do is move on and not dwell on it too much

You cannot escape from it. It is everywhere. There will always be bad people no matter where you go. The best thing to do is just remain true and good to yourself and don't try to get too involved into the community if you feel like it might be filled with too many bad people. And always remember this important bit: Just because the community is bad...doesn't mean the game/movie/media piece itself is too.

True man, I'm 90% sure I'm just gonna drop everything to do with rivals if it's this fucking pathetic lmao

​@LinklightToo what even happen Why

What exactly happened?

What happened?

​@@nawafbro4484underage NSFW

If I keep using the character, what benefits does the creator have?

@@neutralplayeroflol5722 None but publicity and escaping the people's condemnation of their disgusting acts. I mean, you can, but you probably don't wanna make that public, and people who did abandon them might take issue in online matches. I mean, some people got harassed out of the platform for playing a harry potter game, and while this is less serious, it could have impact on you I guess. But if you want to you can

He is kinda not making Rivals characters anymore and moved on to Yomi Hustle. He stated that him making Rivals characters will be kinda rare. But, he said bug fixes or balance changes for his characters will be carried out. (I’m talking abt Sai, idk abt the other devs)

@@Vexetharius Is that the drama that caused Linklight to stop playing the character?

he drew underage nsfw afaik

@@ramensmoothieso

@@Ahyes1 💀

new chara is still in dev so the legs are probably placeholders for the shadows (as you can see one leg is darker than the other)

Don't ask a youtuber if you're ALLOWED to do something and don't feel pressured not to play as a FICTIONAL CHARACTER in a game because of some stupid controversy Think for your fuckin self jesus

You can kinda tell who's gonna more likely be more controversial based on their sense of "humor" I've found. So this doesn't surprise me at all tbh.

@@maximumforce8275 I mean... as much as i know Sai got pretty average sense of humor tho ? with all stuff put into character and else

@skell6134 the stupid down b thing and the saltiness about Ronald being more popular

@@maximumforce8275 I mean,during that time when Sai been doing stuff like that Ronald been total cancer of Rivals of Aether so its fully understandable in my book Not sure what's with down b tho If you mean controls or you wanted to say downbad but felt like not saying that for weird reason

@skell6134 for Ronald....how was he cancer? Because people liked playing him either as a joke or because it's fun to just be a God? Sai seemed to be mad because people were playing the game how they liked to play the game. If that includes playing a silly character then what's the harm? Plus you can't play online unless the other player has the same character downloaded so there's literally no point in getting upset that people like Ronald. And as for down b...kris

It's finally time for the new chara era

Yeah the pose makes me a lil uncomfortable too. Like if I added this mod, my friends would raise eyebrows, haha. If that's the entire problem then I think it's a bit weird to call a crime. It's just kind of a worrying trend if anything. If it is just the poses/art It's kind of a weird hill to die on, I would just have changed the art but I shrug

They also cheated in tournament(s?) by shadowbuffing their own characters before brackets

@@aq_ua ah ok

The more I see of this situation the more everyone involved looks like a clown, and the more respect I lose for linklight.

​@@cherricake1796what happened exactly? I was trying to research for a while but I only find extremely vague explanations that don't actually explain anything

​@@idk72.It's been too long for me to remember, something about a commission Looking back on it I realize how explosive my reaction was But I'm honestly just sick of drama like this in my feed

Drew underaged characters in NSFW AFAICT

@@gabrote42 Pretty much yea. That was the final straw, but they also got temporarily banned a couple times for shadowbuffing characters before brackets and implementing auto-parry cheat codes onto their own characters.

@@Wattmelon Yeah, I managed to find the last one on my own. I saw no record of the other two anywhere tho

@@gabrote42 A lot of what goes on in the competitive Workshop community isn't super talked about tbf (not a lot of people even know about it to begin with cuz it's that niche lol). I wasn't around for the shadowbuff stuff, but the cheat code thing was something on Chara, Gigachad, Melee Sai, and a couple other characters that made it so when a hitbox got close to you while not attacking, you'd gain a few frames of invincibility and auto-parry. They used it in tournament one time before some TO's sussed it out and dug into the code (they were standing still a lot and parrying super consistently in poor connections), which lead to a temporary ban on having their characters in tournaments, as well as a permanent ban on competing.

Finish it

Finish it

Finish it

Finish it.

However, we may be moving on from SAI!Chara, but I can only hope that SOKA!Chara can c(h)arry on their legacy

What was the drama

Wait, let me guess, they’re a pedophile

what happened? i cant find any videos/whatever on the situation

​​@@wattwooson6829most likely... considering how........ *"odd"* Chara's pose is on the win screen. (she's a literal child and that's one of the things that has really put me off about this mod) edit: apologies, the "most likely" thing was kind of an exaggeration, i didn't fully understand the situation

@@wattwooson6829the exact drama was the creator, SAI, drawing NSFW art of underaged characters

Exactly

The exact drama was sai drawing NSFW of underage characters

@@soka6732 i’m trying to understand this as well, did the creator draw portraying the characters as minors? Or did the creator draw NSFW art of underage characters in their own portrayal as majors? I feel this is pretty important to know.

@@soka6732 Ah, okay. Such a common drama too, well hope that gets sorted out. Wish the community well, this game is really cool.

​@@insmashbaby4347like aged up?

Rivals of Aether. The meme, indie, OCs, etc. is from the Steam Workshop.

It’s a boss. Technically isn’t, functionally is.

@@Aaa-vp6ugMy friend plays Guardian sometimes, for a boss it's REALLY weak

@@nateypateyuactually, I should’ve mentioned that CPU lv 9 is basically a boss, but mostly for projectile based characters. Otherwise it’s juggling heaven, unless you get grabbed. Also, make sure that the auto laser thing is on.

Drawings It's about drawings.

They basically drew furry kiddy pron

@@catman9222 don't tell me they made nsfw drawings of minors didn't they?

@@NullandVoid Yes.

​@@vanillatherealoneWoop-de-doo, there drawings why should anyone care?

You can just keep playing any Sai character without issue,if someone has problem with you because of that then he is absolute dumbass,lol :p

It's rivals of aether. But uh...be careful. The community can be toxic. Kinda like smash bros but I guess that's to be expected.
