Kevight

Kevight, the star, seeks for some fighting, and this world has everything he wanted, fight using his authentical bell for the act, filled with all his power of the past, with a lot of more habilities he got during his time, it’s time for him to show Aether the power of stars!

He is used to fight against bigger enemies, he has lack of take stocks early, and takes them around 150% (unless you do some crazy blastzone close shenanigans)

But Kevight can deal with those issues, and you too understanding how it plays:

Let’s tackle the SPECIAL attacks, shall we?

NSPECIAL is a counter, when you make the counter first time, you get a damage/knockback boost depending the attack, this will last for 30 seconds and won’t activate again until you lose a stock, so make those seconds count taking stocks early there!

If you want, you can use the counter with the boost enabled, will grant you heal everytime the counter is activated, and when deals damage, perfect against low-ranged characters!

USPECIAL is a teleport, one of your few attacks that can take stocks with boost or not, Kevight will be invincible since is inside portal, until goes back to his star form

FSPECIAL has a cooldown, due to how versatile it is, first you spin at the direction to then throw a proyectile, the spin doesn’t do much, but the proyectile stuns enemies in place, perfect to continue combos (to then even finish them), and you can use it as a recovery move, all depends the state and the right place to do it

DSPECIAL also has cooldown, it’s more centered in take stocks quickly, but takes much more to use it again, below him, a root will appear to give a punch, but Kevight will not be busy around, in DSPECIAL can grab the opponent and throw downwards, it also gives a small jump but not very high…

Now let’s see some tips on the the other stuff:

DATTACK is a high speed attack, will go straight foward and no way to stop it, be careful use it near a ledge or get parried (Worst if you are far offstage)

UAIR is an attack that gives a small boost upward, you can barely notice it if you are falling, even tho cancels all your horizontal movement, try use it as soon as you jump, you’ll reach higher and even surprise enemies

DAIR puts you into pratfall, but it’s because if you hit an opponent, will move you backward and upward, in other words, will put you back in stage, the sweet spot is tight but makes spikes!

FAIR makes Kevight spin his legs for a very long time, you won’t even see it has pratfall too, but you can cancel the attack into a walljump, so no fear use it as an edge guard

NAIR is one of the most ranged attacks Kevight has, shooting his arms and legs at 4 directions, the tip stuns enemies but you’ll need experience making space with the opponent to hit them

USTRONG and FSTRONG are very ranged too, but are very tricky to take a stock with them without the boost, but DSTRONG is the best for safe and salty attacks, as soon the light barrier covers you, they can’t hit you anymore until the barrier starts dissappearing, and has a small hitbox below, ready for unexpected stocks, but the space and timing, are very tight, start practicing with a combo from the small hitbox into the bigger one

Lastly, your hitbox is very small when you crouch, only attacks that reach the ground can hurt you, you can crawl in that form to get closer to your rivals and start a combo with DTILT

Time to see 4 extra details I can tell you:

1
Who is Kevight? And his backstory?
In the past Kevight was known as Grogar, he wanted unite the species of his world, creating creatures to show them the way, but his creations started control him and enslave those species, until the species re-united take down Grogar and killed him, even tho his soul was flying all around space, he wanted show he was a good guy at all, and started doing stuff that gave incredible results! The stars gave him another chance, and with star pieces, he reincarnated into a star, calling himself form then on as Kevight, who protected his world from his creations and a catastrophe!

2
Kevight is supported with few characters/stages, but I’ll let you discover those yourself (apart of the one of the video, lol)
If you don’t want seek for them, I made a tweet listing all of them https://twitter.com/FastTappy/status/1638896567607500801?s=20

Kevight’s alternate colors are based on space stuff (like space characters, stages, or events); on magical characters of his world; and a few about facts about the OC, or the lore in detail! (This is excluding the Early Access and Abyss colors btw)

And lastly, I have to say sorry if this character is op or kinda broken or buggy, it’s my first time doing a Rivals of Aether character and it took me a whole month to even reach here.

Enjoy playing as Kevight 😀
