Office Chair

You know it, you’ve seen it, you may even be sitting on one right now, Office Chair, The Formal Seat, joins Rivals of Aether!

This is my very first attempt at making a mod, so don’t expect anything too crazy.

Office Chair is a very slippery fighter with mostly short range, but a handful of longer-ranged attacks too.

Now, let’s go over some of its moves, starting with its specials:

This move throws a scrunched up piece of paper in an arc. It’s a simple projectile which can be used to extend combos or edgeguard your opponents.

This move spawns a printer which periodically shoots sheets of paper which act as moving projectiles. Once it’s shot out three sheets of paper, or if you use the move again, it will despawn and go on a cooldown.

If you despawn the printer manually, it will release its current ammo in the form of paper projectiles. You can refill the printer’s ammo by hitting it with your NSpecial projectiles.

Office Chair dashes forwards, picking up whatever opponent it hits along the way, tossing them at the end. This move can be charged for extra distance. Bear in mind that in free-for-alls and team battles, this move can only grab one opponent at a time.

Also, you can use Forward Special to grab your printer to reposition it. After grabbing either a player or your printer, this move will gain a powerful melee hitbox which gets stronger the more you charge the move.

Office Chair spins its wheels to propel itself upwards. You can move left and right during the ascent, and it also acts as a multihitting attack.

Jab:
This move is primarily a forward strike with the seat of the chair, but there’s also a sourspot hitbox on the backrest.

Down Tilt:
This move is a slide ‘kick’ which can be jump-cancelled on hit. It also goes off platforms.

Dash Attack:
Office Chair spins its wheels in front of it for a multihitting attack. This move also goes off platforms, but unlike Down Tilt, you won’t start falling until the move is over.

Neutral Air:
Office Chair spins its wheels around, which gives it a slight upwards boost when you use this move.

Special thanks to various members of the Rivals of Aether Extended Workshop Discord for helping me out with making and playtesting this character!

These user include Maraslumunus, Hyuponia, Bar-Kun, Atalks, Final H-G, DarkDarkurai, frtoud, ReaverOfSouls, Pivoo, Lute, Ambi, Aperson, and ArtistOfSeer.

Also, credits to Bar-Kun’s Tester, which I used to help me with the special visual attributes for some of the skins.
