The First Platform Fighting Game To Rival Smash? - Rivals of Aether
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 04. 2020
- Rivals of Aether is a fighting game created by Dan Fornace that has over the years come into its own as an esport.
Inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee, the gameplay mechanics in Rivals of Aether share many similarities but also have incorporated creative aspects such as element-based attacks or passive abilities that can affect the stage.
While it may have started off in obscurity or regarded as a "smash clone" the game has come into its own with a unique cast of characters and game design that has attracted a passionate community around RoA.
In today's video, we take a deep dive into the world of competitive Rivals of Aether and the story of the community that has elevated title into an esport.

After looking at the feedback from our community (that's you!), we are happy to confirm that a Brawlhalla video is in production.
I cant believe you are reading comments from 2 month old video
Wait I tried to find it on switch but I don't see it in the eshop
@@Sly9192 I think its not on switch, but switch has super smash bros
@@Ouryuu-Zenokun I thought it was coming
@@Sly9192 i dont know, it might be
This game is criminally underrated. Hopefully the switch release will give it the popularity it deserves!
And the definitive edition update! Seriously, the online queue times are painfully slow.
i still can't believe it is almost here, i do own the steam version and all dlc but just having a lack of hardware just made me never enjoy it to the fullest, sure it sucks that we can't get workshop on switch, but the base game itself is worth it 100 times over
Definitive edition pog
I wish i had a pc so i could play it now. I was so excited when i first saw its coming to the switch
Same, but it feels like literally everyone who claims it isn't also claim that workshop is the most redeeming quality of the game and it annoys me
Fans: put (insert character) into smash!
Smash: no
Rivals: here you put it in
I love it
the day they put Ross Geller into RoA was the highlight of my life so far
The only game where Ronald McDonald fighting scout from TF2 and yandere dev

I love these periodic deep dives into lesser known esports scenes.
It’s not the big popular thing like valorant, it likely isn’t your main audience, and I truly think it shows how much you care about esports above just views
I mean, "The First Platform Fighting Game To Rival Smash" is enough to get views regardless
C B true but I’m watching this at 24 hours after it was uploaded and 11k views makes this criminally underrated! I hope more people watch it. I’ve never even heard of this game before but now I want to check it out more
@@CB-xp9ew he gets the best views when he makes videos about overwatch so he could have sticked to that i dont think the title metters 2 much
@C B Doesn’t seem like it. The last valorant vid is at 90k views and this is at 14k, OVERWATCH sitting in between. That “first esports” vid hasn’t even breached 10k. What’s popular matters a lot on CZcams
Hey, Rivals player here
Fun fact, did you know rivals has actually had 2 tourneys with higher pots than smash ultimate? I almost didn't believe it at first but we have had two thus far. Plus, rivals is going to be coming out with a rivals two in 2023 or so in addition to a card game and an RPG. Very big things are coming for the IP
this content is so high quality it feels like i should be paying for it
If you wait for the definitive edition, you can get all the content for just 15$
@@cybercider6620 i meant the video lmao
If this doesn't get at least 100k views we know the YT algorithm is rigged
you do pay for it
why second time I’ve seen you hello.
*i love how you showed the stupid tetherball footage when introducing dan fornace*
JPEG Warrior I mean that is essentially just done summed up in video form
It's a perfect description of who Dan is.
What do you mean stupid
As someone shoots been playing Rivals since day 1 of early access, I love hearing people talk about the game. It deserves more recognition than it typically gets.
Yeah
I played at a friend's house
Bought it myself and was always alone online.
Never had any battles.
So yeah kinda wasted 15 €
I recommend the official Discord if you're looking for people to play with. There's also an EU server, but I hear it's invite only, so you'll need to ask someone to get in
Eh i find rivals of aether much less casual then smash but that isn't necessarily a bad thing i just find that its harder to just get into and play also the online play is a bit cancer since alot of people will just quickly quit on you or just really bad internet but the game is very fun once you get good at the game the pixel art visuals are awesome with a small but diverse roster thank you for listening to my rambling gooday

Aye Brawlhalla got Rayman and Laura Croft though
Splatoon isn’t really an unknown game but it’s competitive scene is actually incredibly interesting and I would appreciate if you guys tried looking into it
COMPETITIVE SPLATOON? I want to know if I can get in
XMAN THEMAN you can! I help with a tournament for beginners @splatoonac on twitter. Any1 can join, just grab 3 others to play with and sign up!
Thanks for the suggestion. We will take it into consideration!
@@Akshonesports please do, it's lowkey one of the most competitive games nintendo has that isn't Smash, and i genuinely feel part of it is rooted in it's higher mobility compared to other shooter games released at the time, as well as how much of a breath of fresh air in general the franchise has been, even going so far as being one of the first games where nintendo actually *embraced* a competitive scene.
edit: there's also strats that may be familiar to those who are here on your channel for overwatch, for example, shooting ink is just as much about getting damage out as it is "Making Space"
@@Akshonesports Please do it! I love Splatoon and it's competitive scene!
Seriously if you like melee but find yourself struggling to grind tech skill or execute the cool stuff you think up then pick this game up and give it a try. Some of the best designed characters in any fighting game ever, dan did an amazing job.
If you play Projectr M Rivals is just PC Pm with some cool mechanics changes to make it feel different. as a PM person ive been playing on for an hour or two but i love it
the most balanced character: the duane
Every single aspect of a character's moveset, from their specials to their movement speed, is perfectly tuned to the character to work perfectly with each other in Rivals, which is why the playstyles for the characters are so rewarding (anf why Clairen Nair is so OP).
*brawlhalla has left the chat*
while brawhalla certainly is good, it still feels like its missing something when put to other games like smash or rivals
RIP brawlhalla
Brawlhalla is good
I play a lot of brawlhalla and pretty good at it 2 and unknown what do you think it's missing
brawlhalla's metagame is stale imo, every character is basically jigglypuff with 3 jumps and an op airdodge
Hey everyone, we hope you enjoyed this video and for suggesting it to us in the comments of our piece on Lethal League! It took us a while to put together, but we appreciate your patience and would like to thank everyone within the Rivals of Aether community that spoke with us to help make this video possible.
What topics, stories or events would you like to see us cover next in a future video?
Would SMITE qualify?
Lethal league blaze
I'm very impressed! I'm used to watching CZcamsrs do very surface level overviews of a game and get plenty of details wrong, but I can tell this was well researched and that it was written with a deep understanding of the scene.
Rip melee but we still got rivals.
SLAP CITY OR WE RIOT
Loved this! Would have liked a little time devoted to Rivals's fully unique mechanics, like hitfalling, tilt-cancellable jabs, and so on. But aside from that, this was a fantastic and marvelously edited introduction to the game's history!
A perfect entry video for anyone getting into this game or thinks that its just a smash clone.
First time I saw Rivals in 2017, I instantly fell in love on that game. I always would like to watch tournaments after I bought the game that same year.
Hoping I can join the scene after I can currently deal with IRL issues. RoA seems fun to start playing competitively.
Yeah definitely get connected with your local scene, that's the best way to get involved with the game if you ask me!
Sky Williams interviewed in this video hasn't aged well
Uff yeah
Honestly. . . Only 5 months ago this came out?
His poor reputation spans years. Shame he ever made it into into video in the first place.
@@AKA-Latromi honestly tho lmao I just spammed the 10 second button
@@rakano3733 what happened?
@@ashadeofblue6815 ok so there's two reasons for me that makes him disgusting one remember when pewdiepie said nigger on stream and when everyone was jumping on him sky went on a interview with the bbc I think and was just saying he's racist he know it and shit like that and when they were like ok let's move on he was like no wait one more thing like damn that's so gross and the other was that he was like a landlord and he would threaten and like distort them like I guess something happened he didn't like he threatened everybody and demanded like 350 bucks or he's going around and breaking there shit it's crazy and if you would try anything he would call the police on them like a scummy bitch haha the videos you can watch are from syilvbot about pewdiepie and Optimus for the landlord thing
Rivals is siiiiick, and going to pop off in a big way with the definitive edition. Thanks for the coverage!
Glad someone talking about this FIRE game so now that it's been talked about hopefully I can actually find a ranked match on xbox
so watching the video FULLY I did not realize that aether had such a big community and start but how come i still can't find a ranked match ;-;
90% of the community is on PC, and a ton are planning on moving to Switch once DE drops. We've had some folks make the transition from Xbox to PC in the competitive scene though!
PS4 ;-;
@@atWisely so ps4 and xbox are screwed if we wanna get into ranked even tho games with gold gave the game away for free
p sure most players will be on switch and PC players will move to switch.
Xbox is an extremely unpopular version of rivals. It’s not even fully up to date on the DLC. On stream Fornace confirmed that Xbox only be looked at after the release of Switch definitive edition.
*"every body gangsta till ronald ordered laser finger."*
Smash: I have an army
Rivals: I have gigachad, mario pissing, morshu, ronald mcdonald and much more
I’ve been playing rivals for a almost half a year now and it’s an S tier fighting game.I would definitely recommend finding someone to play with you and learning the game together
And it's on sale right now!
coincidence or conspiracy?
Yeah, I got it. Now waiting for the definitive edition to get all DLC for free
It's amazing to see RoA covered now that the game is reaching completion. Really excited for the future as well!
As a League of Legends player, RoA has a very different meaning to us.

You're telling me I don't need to dip 400EUR into a Switch to play a platform fighter? Holy shit I'm downloading it as I'm t yping.
What did you think of it?
@@TGHunter Haven't had the time yet to actually play the game due to deadlines but I'll let you know.
U could always download an emulator...that cost less than this game😂
@@Snook937 yeah but that's kinda dirty tbh
you can play brawlhalla for free on every platform with crossplay , i recommend you give it a go
ive been playing this game competitively for a few months and i gotta say its a fantastic experience. i love seeing videos like this giving the game the exposure it deserves. your editing is really good btw!
This is a wonderful piece.
You got me SBS. I'm gonna give this a shot once it hits Switch.
Did you?
Coming from a traditional casual fighting game background, I really like the direction Rivals has gone. Interesting original characters you don't necessarily need a background in to appreciate, fresh, novel ways to interact with space, doesn't seem overly lore heavy and accessible. It doesn't need well known IPs to be rocksteady. Big shoes to fill but it's shown that it has what it takes to give Smashers legitimate variety.
This game did a reverse smash. Smash takes many universes and turns it into a fighting game. Rivals turned a fighting game into a large, multimedia franchise.
The only game where Ronald McDonald fighting scout from TF2 and yandere dev
@@justarandombluebird8222 Ehhh nah, Mugen did all of that twenty years ago.
This was incredibly well-done. Thank you for your hard work!
I somewhat recently started playing thus game since it wasn’t too expensive and I was itching for a new fighting game to try. Little did I know, I would come to love it more than Smash. Thank you for covering it’s history, Rivals has truly come a long way. Here’s to the future, cheers :)
I love Rivals so much, it’s so good to see more content about it. It’s the best platform fighter i’ve ever played, and anything that helps grow the scene fills me with joy. So happy to see you talk about this amazing game and community!
As a melee player, i can say this game is amazing! It's worth a try
9:38 Damn this reminds me of the time Dunkey beat that guy in smash. Can't remember his name tho..
Sky Williams?
I wanna main the frog guy he looks pretty good
Backpack same
He’s actually pretty good imo. Him and wrastor ( the bird guy ) are annoying to fight against.
@@ShibuNub3305 wrastor is the best character the game has seen in a while. One pro player is dominating the scene right now.
@@strm8496 they're multiple wrastors on the top 50.
the mobility and punish game is a strong characteristic in RoA, and wraster got both
And now the game has 4 new (free) characters and Rollback Netcode. Awesome job by Aether Studios as always!
watching this game grow has been amazing
@@Akshonesports you should do a new video on it! like a storyline
really, really loving these videos. have been a huge sucker for LLB for about a year, since the switch release, and i used to be really into rivals; i stopped because it would make me persistently frustrated. this vid has given me a reason to try it again. thank you for all of the work you put into this content, i CANNOT get enough. cheers
maaan this is such a well-produced and enjoyable review of Rivals! I'd recommend this to anyone as their first introduction to RoA akin to the Smash documentary. Very well done!
Thank you so much for making this video. As of late I've not given rivals as much of my attention as it deserves and you have reminded me what amazing fun it is. This game is an absolute love letter to competitive smash fans and people who really want to commit to learning a fighting game will not be disappointed. I've got every piece of dlc on steam and have supported these guys from the beginning and will of course move over to switch to bring the action to my living room. Cannot wait.
An impressive breakdown of the esport community for Rivals. I just caught wind of this game due to their "Rivals Direct 2" video, since then I have been doing much research on this game.
You've managed to encapsulate a lot of the answers and perspective others did not cover.
I'm amazed at how much the Rivals universe has expanded since this video released. We were all just excited for Definitive Edition over a year ago, but in that time we've gotten comics, a card game, a rogue-like in development, NEW CHARACTERS MADE BY THE COMMUNITY, AND HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT 3D RIVALS GAMEPLAY CLIP!?!? I cannot wait for whenever you make a video on this new project, because it's very clear that tetherball enthusiast Dan Fornace has many more ambitions beyond what he achieved with Rivals of Aether.
Thank you for putting the spot light on rivals, it definitely deserves it!
It looks so clean! I can already tell it deserves a lot more attention
I have never come across your channel before, but I have been a Rivals player for the span of the past year and a half, loving it to the point that I was able to get a lot of the Smash locals in my region to also have Rivals, starting a small but caring and passionate scene. Seeing a video like yours able to get our game out there and put us in the spotlight is amazing. It lets us grow and become an even greater community and I thank you for that. I will definitely be looking into more of your content! Keep up the good work!
I've been following the game since the beta(although I only managed to buy it last year) and was still able to get some new info from this. New to the channel, very good video
Am I the only one who absolutely loves their art style
Nope not at all.
@@supernova3241 huh
@@strm8496 i like the pixel art style.
I prefer pixel art than 3d models
Am i ThE 0nLy 0nE
Seeing all the progress the game made in every aspect brings a smile to my face.
I'm excited to see what the future holds for Rivals. ^^
Don’t forget that the Smash scene loves ROA, a lot of mainly dominant smash you tubers commonly play rivals (mainly just workshop memes) but in Smash centric tournaments there always big rivals tourney, both at Genesis 7 and Frostbite 2020 there were large ROA events.
8:30 Damn I was three spots off of being in this video lol
Thanks so much for covering Rivals!
I'd always seen snippets of info and pictures of this game but I never really looked into it.
After watching this video, i bought it on steam and i am excited for it to drop on the switch.
Sakurai: won’t put wavedashing and shovel knight into modern smash
RoA: fine, I’ll do it myself
Awesome! Someone finally showing how amazing this game is. Thanks for the great video
This is the typo of non-Overwatch stuff I subbed for. Can't decide if I want more of this stuff for Overwatch now.
I genuinely think this is the best platform fighter right now, and I really wish it got more attention.
After seeing that matchup between Forsburn and Ori and all those cooloves being used with such rapid flow and precision, I definitely want to main Forsburn now. I should really get this game.
Thank you for the video!
7:13 that is a suitcase
Never heard of this game before but now I think I might want to buy it. Great Work!
Hope you enjoy it!

Since you brought it up, I would like for you to cover the strange history of Shrek Superstar Slam.
Especially considering it has a pro scene and tier lists, with 1 character that has an infinite and is permabanned.
Rivals is super sick and the community is great, if you're interested in more competitive-oriented games you should definitely give it a try!
9:42 remember that time dunkey beat sky in smash?
I can't even remember the last time Sky Williams posted a video on CZcams. This must be one of those rare appearances.
didnt age well
@@adcrengar9877 about that
Thanks for this video I actually found this game from this video and I'm loving it.
Hey, glad you enjoyed it!
Been a secret fan of this game for nearly 4 years, Never really had many people to play it with, but always enjoyed seeing new content come out for the game. It's crazy to me how much one vision can be carried to make a whole new take on a well known idea.
Even to a point where now we see rollback and fan made workshop characters become permanent on the cast list. This game rivals Smash from it's gameplay to it's handle with community and I honestly couldn't be happier to see such care put into a game like this, as no other has come nearly as close in the time it's existed.
oof skywilliams :[
I'm telling you guys, next episode needs to be about SpeedRunners.
Not Speedrunning, that's not an esport.
SpeedRunners is a game that hasn't been a big esport in a very long time.
Ah man, had a lotta fun with friends in SpeedRunners. Good game, pretty underrated
If there's a game that I'd love to be recapped like this, it'd be Skullgirls. That game deserves infinitely more recognition.
good prediction
Been playing Rivals for years now and I'm super excited to play it on Switch! Can't wait to see the new wave of players that try this game out for the first time!
Wow this docs are so well-made! I would love an ARMS video, i think the game deserves more attention.
Maybe one day!
This was awesome! Love dfornace, etalus and the gang. I'd love to see a feature on Lethal League / Lethal League Blaze community!
there already is one! they made one around a month ago!
@@TheJoshAries Oh snap!
this video remembers me of that time Dunkey beat sky in smash
Sky the Leprechaun?
I've never seen a video more deserving for a like, fantastic job man.
Loool introducing Dan with footage from the direct is perfect
i hope brawlhalla and ROE gets another crossover
I loved that crossover, it’s rare to see two small rival games in the same market work together
I hope they make the things competitively usable for RoA (idk how skins go in the world of BH). I love the Ragnir skin, but the deceptive hitboxes/animations really make me sad
They joke-mentioned another brawlhalla crossover when spitballing ideas in the new rivals direct, so... maybe?
@@fezthedracky8468 deceptive hitboxes??? bruh brawlhalla compared with smash in terms of deceptive hitbox is nothing
@@jehezz that doesn't change anything.
1) smash was never mentioned. This is a discussion of the RoA/BH crossover.
2) the Ragnir skin has deceptive hitboxes and animations. Just because another game does it doesn't make it OK. This community cares about the competitive integrity of the game, hence why we ban dumb shit like this and 0,0,0 custom skins that hide animations.
I'd argue that until Nintendo will monetarily support smash tournaments, Rivals is the best platform fighter for an esport since they crowd fund larger pot bonuses at all the majors. Like at this point Dan Fornace and his team are just a non-profit lol
Nah, they still dont make as much as ult or melee players. Plus those scenes are much larger so their tournaments, just from entrants alone are much better for competition and payouts.
@@NinteddyRose they make more off of streaming and stuff because the game is more popular right now but you are just wrong about the tournament payouts. Every pre-covid major within the past year or two that had smash and rivals at, Rivals had a bigger payout then smash4/ult or Melee. If Rivals was as popular as smash then Dan's team would be able to crowd fund even more money for these pot bonuses because they are all raised from the community. Smash will never do that so the money has no room for growth outside of external sponsors, higher entry fees, or more entries. So I stand by the fact that Rivals is the best model for a platform fighting esport. Yeah the top players dont make as much from streaming and stuff but the whole goal of a real esport is that you play the game and dont need external incomes (ie streaming or YT).
@@saigesmart4167
No one on this earth is playing rivals as their only job lol. So No, it is not the best model for a platform fighter esport. The only tournament that paid more for RIvals was G7 and that was due to an entire years worth of selling merchanidse and the dev adding 4k to the pot bonus. Other tournaments consistently paid less. Hell, Dream hack 2019 paid 5000 to melee and only 1,200 to rivals. Also, having your community fund your tournaments isnt a great ESPORTS model at all. Having your game being big enough to grab the attention of sponsors is the model to have. That way the game doesnt need constant funding from its playerbase.
I don’t skip the ads because this channel deserves money for the quality it puts out
Great video amazing editing
Thanks!
love this type of video! just watched the lethal league one and I'd love to see more videos. some suggestions maybe

ARMS is kind of sorta super boring. Interesting, but not in the least engaging.
Rivals has been rivaling Smash for a while now. Hyped for the definitive edition though, so I can finally play it on Switch. Also hyped for the Card Game.
@Ultimate Supreme Leader I'm talking in terms of qualiy. I don't really care if it doesn't sell as much because Smash sells an absurd amount of copies.
@Ultimate Supreme Leader that's like saying skullgirls or any other traditional 2d fighter is a clone of Street Fighter lol
@Ultimate Supreme Leader lmao dude you said three short sentences, with only the second and third contributing anything. kinda hard to "pick stuff out."
As far as originality, honestly, take another look at the characters. Their normals might not be that different, but each character has a unique stage control mechanic that interacts with most of their specials. E.g. Orcane places a puddle on stage that they can teleport to, but they can also spawn an AoE multi-hit from it, or absorb it to increase the reach of his smash attacks. And each character is fundamentally different from the rest, they don't pad their numbers with 10 sword fighters.
Rivals is 100 times mechanically tighter than Smash will ever be, people who call it a Smash clone never have more than an hour of gameplay in it. Rivals will never have the starpower and recognizability that smash does, but casual players aren't really Rival's target demographic. To call this an imitation is quite ignorant, watch AtlasOne's video on Smash Inspiration vs Imitation if you honestly believe this game is a clone.
Wow such a great watch. I definitely recommend it to all my friends. I clicked on this video because I was so bored but I'm so glad I did.
this is an amazing video, thank for this
I haven’t played rivals for a long time. Ill try it out again. :)
please do
It is on sale right now so you better get the game now and all the dlcs,for unique infamous skins that you won't be able to get after DE releases.
The game and the character dlcs are 17 dollars, all 50% what are you waiting for.
i love rivals and am so glad you’re giving it attention
So happy you included Ronald, legend quality here
9:37 welp it's gonna be weird seeing his face from now on
Why?
@@MrInsdor Lots of talk recently that questioned Sky housing a bunch of minors (notably some Super Smash Bros players) in one house with no adult supervision. He also owes hundreds of thousands of dollars from borrowing from many people and lying to them what the purpose of the money was.
7:13
Hol up. Is that a suitcase???
Yea, that's why TSA gets really anxious when they see one. It's not what's inside that's dangerous but the suitcase itself.
yup, Steam Workshop has characters including but not limited to: Tetris, Dwayne, TNT block, Bomb-omb, Sans, Mario Pissing, Donald, 100% accurate Fox, and many, many more.
No, it’s a dragon.
A great video showcasing a great game! I'd also love to see you cover Fantasy Strike by Sirlin Games if it isn't already on your radar.
New characters coming, lots of content with comics, spinoff games and rollback netcode coming. Time to make a sequel for this video!
Oh yeah. Rivals of Aether 3D game coming in 2023.
Now you need to do brawlhalla. That game is getting huge and is crazy good with a lot of cool unique features.
Btw I love rivals and have played since release and i love smash and have played competetively for at least 4-5 years. I love all three games and do not want to start a war.
I would say that but I think brawlhalla already has enough attention
Games like rivals of aether with smaller audiences and communities need exposure like this
When the sequel comes out in full 3d I think a lot of ppl will get into it.
Eric Cabussú ohh yeah the little hint in the Rivals Direct. Man that was an amazing video, and it definitely made you question what was real since it was April Fools, until they announced that everything was real. I honestly love ROE and I think they’re going in a great direction with the definitive edition and everything.
Great video!
9:38 Jesus I was not ready for that.
Yeah...
Oh geez Sky is in this video😖 that hasnt aged well. Great vid tho!
I think you underestimate the steam workshop meta. Undertale Yellow clover VS Minecraft Steve is a very cool matchup that everyone needs to see
This is so amazing. I love this video so so so much omg
This is def the best video about the game I’ve seen as someone that has been interested but was not able to find quality content
Rip Sky being a weird scammer tho
"Competitive"
Me: *looks at workshop*
Workshop has plenty of competitive characters
@Iconik nova I mean sure, if you want to be an asshole about it
rivals has honestly the best platform fighter gameplay.
like, honestly, it rivals melee
Was that pun intentional?
@@sonicbhoc it just happens
Unoptimal Punish / Rio! it just works
Power Stone for the Dreamcast was amazing too!!
One small thing that made it so successful I think is that when you showed that silhouette if I didn’t know this video was about Rivals I would have been able to recognize it. Meanwhile if I saw another platform fighter I might think it was smash.
