Peacock

This Rivals Of Aether Peacock mod was a collaboration with Notakin, who drew all of the animations. The goal was to reiterate on Notakin’s first attempt at a ‘Skullgirls’ character. We revised the design and rebuilt the character from scratch, tying together the most important elements of her zoner playstyle with Rivals of Aether’s focus on area control.

Skullgirls is largely known for its fast pace and flexible combo system. To emulate this, Peacock was given an air-dash, air-combo chains, and a ‘Magic Series’ that allowed all six of her ground attacks to be linked together in order. Like with in traditional fighting games, her Normal attacks could be cancelled into Special attacks as well. Combined, this was an elegant way of giving Peacock a playstyle resembling her own game, while keeping her control scheme familiar for Rivals of Aether players.
