Jump King

The titular main character of your favourite tactical leaping adventure makes their way into Rivals of aether. Jam-packed with references to the original game (and others!), Jump King is an all-rounder, rushdown fighter with a few tricks up his sleeve.

USpecial : Jump. He jumps. Wow. A very strong yet vulnerable recovery that can be charged, and floats you down gently while charging if used in the air. And don’t worry, the king’s learned how to control himself in the air. Just a little.

FSpecial : Grab. Jump King grabs you like the hot babe you are. Has directional outcomes, including a piledriver and a basic downward and upward throw.

DSpecial : Summon. Jump King summons a friend to aid him, the character you summon is based on which item you’ve collected.

NSpecial : Use the power of magic (?) to stun nearby enemies and become invulnerable to projectiles for a period of time!

You have 2 items you can collect, the Gold Ring and the Ghost Fragment. These are shown on the hud. If one item is collected, progress to the other will be set to zero.

Gold Ring : Can be collected by landing any strong attacks. Using DSpecial whilst the Gold Ring is collected will summon Megildus Dreeg. He will (attempt to) bash a nearby enemy with his gramofone once before disappearing.

Ghost Fragment : Can be collected by landing any aerials. Using DSpecial whilst the Fragment is collected will summon the Babe Ghost. The ghost will damage enemies that touch it. The ghost will float permanently at the spot she was summoned in.

Using DSpecial whilst having nothing will summon the Gnome. He sits there. Might bite the enemy if they get too close. Summoning gnome clears all current progress to either item.

Using DSpecial has a 10 second cooldown.

Using DTilt whilst having either item will extend the attack.

You can cancel dash attack into fstrong to slide around!
Nair throws a little shield around you for a little bit!
You can hold taunt!
Has lots of cool compatabilities!
This is my first rivals character!
Jump King has lots of powerful spikes. His past of suffering will not go unshared.
