Excite Biker
The Excitable Biker, John Bike himself, is now playable in Rivals! The Excite Biker is from the Excite series, and he brings with him the signature overheat mechanic. This character is a rushdown with a focus on speed and staying in the opponent’s face by using a variety of movement options. Credit to Omelette for making the base sprite and some sprite touch-ups, and Seer, for providing some additional VFX code.
Overheat Mechanic: If the meter fills up all the way, the Biker won’t be able to do anything until it cools down, or they’re hit. Be careful not to overheat off-stage.
Neutral Special: Mash the special button to send out a ton of mud projectiles behind you. It’s also got a hitbox on the back of the wheel. Watch the temperature though, because this attack will overheat the bike.
Aerial Neutral Special: This move will bounce the player up slightly if they land on an enemy.
Side Special: This is a dash that will fill up the temp meter, and it can be cancelled into, straight out of dashing.
Down Special: This move is similar to Sheik’s Down Special. The Biker will get an extra burst of height if they hit an enemy, but if it misses, they can’t do anything until they land or wall jump.
Up Special: This is a basic Up Special.
This is my first Rivals mod, and it may have some bugs. I’m not planning on updating the character too much, but I’ll try to keep it functioning.
EDIT: The playtest bug should be fixed now.
If you find a bug (not including the playtest one), please comment, or tell me in the Extended Workshop Discord.
Also, sorry if this mod is scuffed.
