MUSIC

IN-GAME

Corkxx shows us the work he’s put in for the speedrunning community to get his run down to 42 seconds on Forsburn. If you want some tips on getting gold for Forsburn’s story mode, definitely give this a watch. Also make sure to check out the #speedruns channel in the discord.

ProDoubleSushi teaches some new players about the finer things in life. And when asked if he has any mercy left in his Zetterburn heart, the answer (at least from that clip) was probably:

Here TheFailWhale shows us the legendary Absapult (capable of throwing a 90 kg projectile over 300 meters).

Mephiles takes the wheel and decides “Nonono we’re going THIS way”.

Solar gets the best of Tandori with this Kragg surprise attack descriptively titled “tempestpeak.mp4”.

JarekBloodDragon and Jetsreym are called back to their people.

IRL

If you haven’t heard the news yet, MSB (a top Kragg player) has been picked up by Fable esports. Head over to their twitter and give them a follow to show that we appreciate the support for the Rivals scene.

Here’s a shot from a Niagara playgroup’s first official Rivals tournament. Always great to see scenes popping up as the community grows.

That’s it for this week! Let us know in the comments if we missed any of your favorites, and make sure to give the creators some props.

Happy Friday everyone!

We’re back with another community roundup. Community roundups highlight our favorite fan-made Rivals stuff, from the lowliest memes to art of the highest order. Or maybe that should be, “from the lowliest art to memes of the highest order”? Anyway, read on for some good stuff spanning from Rivals videos to trap music.

ART

Here’s a cool sketch from ZomboGrub of Abyss Zetterburn looking appropriately evil. Definitely don’t want to get hit by that downStrong.

Finally finished my Abyss #zetterburn sketch! This was for the release of RoA. @RivalsOfAether @danfornace #digitalart #art #abyssmode pic.twitter.com/0lOBiBqZzQ

Tandori made top 8 of CEO Dreamland last weekend, and GenkiGoth Studios (in the artist alley) made him this awesome spray canvas to celebrate.

Shoutouts to @genkigoth for the surprise gift after Rivals of Aether top 8! You two are so awesome! 😀 #CEODreamland pic.twitter.com/AofeshyeJ4

Samantha took this picture of the original Rivals pins that NekoCrispy made. They were also selling these at CEO Dreamland but if you want to pick some up for yourself now, you can get them on their etsy store here:

/u/boawboaw built this giant Maypul in Minecraft. They also put together a Wrastor sprite which works perfectly since 1 block = 1 pixel. Will we see any other Rivals stages or characters in Minecraft in the future?

Everyone knows Kragg is a baller, so /u/Conga-Heli made this to remind us of that feeling you get when you chain 6 side B’s.

VIDEOs

DolphinBrick is back and looking as good as ever. Here he’s worked up another Orcane video that sheds some light on Orcane’s tricky recovery. DBrick’s video is concise, well-made, and there’s no way you won’t learn something from this even as a long time Orcane player.

If you missed CEO Dreamland, Jarek4Gaming has got you covered. He put together another great highlight video from last weekend that covers some of the best games from the event if you don’t want to watch all two days of VODS.

MUSIC

jtbs and Troy L. have taken one of flashy’s songs in a new direction, and it’s turned out pretty sweet. Definitely not a genre you see Rivals being sampled in often.

QueenMeteor’s put together a new arrangement of one of my favorite tracks from the OST, Lightning Pandemonium.

CLIPS

This clip tells the sad, sad tale of Kenneth’s Orcane. Thinking he’s won the battle he instead finds himself in one of Kragg’s insidious traps…

Here’s Menace13 putting the pain on JFMHunter. Poor guy just can’t get out 🙁

That’s it for this week! Let us know in the comments any of your favorites that we missed, and make sure to give the creators some props.

The official soundtrack for Rivals of Aether is now available directly from our composer! Listen for free or download it on bandcamp here:

Hey Guys,

I know you have all been anxiously awaiting news about new characters joining the Rivals of Aether roster. As we have teased in the past, the first character post launch will be an indie guest.

We are extremely excited to share that we will be reaching back to one of the greatest indie games of all time – Cory in the House for the Nintendo 3DS. This critically acclaimed game was inspired by the hit anime Cory in the House.

Cory has so many different talents in the series and in Rivals that is no different. He will be bringing his quick wit and humor along with his unique ability to bring down the house like no one else can.

We know that there was a ton of speculation about who the first guest character would be. We are excited that Cory was definitely a favorite among Rivals fans destroying characters like Shovel Knight and Hyper Light Drifter in the anonymous polls that we ran.

I know you all can’t wait to get your hands on this fantastic character. But you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer. Perhaps when hell freezes over.

**Disclaimer: This blog post is satire. Rivals of Aether is in no way affiliated with Cory, Disney or the Disney channel.**

Hey everyone,

Etalus here with the first community roundup post launch! Community roundups highlight our favorite fan-made Rivals stuff, from the lowliest memes to art of the highest order. With our steam release there has been a flood of Rivals art and awesome community creations, making it quite hard to pick just a few.  Read on for our favorites in categories that range from music to best launch bugs.

Best Bugs

LuNoX finds that that Absa’s stage has water resistant platforms.

Atma carefully lays a puddle after respawning, which apparently has other plans and decides to leave him when he needs it most.
