I'm going to agree with this original post. Tho I find riven hardly makes a case for the 8-bit arcade style since fighting games, the ones we know well and adored weren't actually 8-bit (MK,SF,KI,etc and so on) and the fact that she is a Zelda reference...Zelda was never an arcade game. And now that we go about this her "rpg style figure".....idk about you guys but I've never seen an RPG game in an arcade. But if were going to go with the arcade, I'd stick with the arcade theme, not just make some colorful ?whatever the heck she's wearing skin? The DDR looking sword in my opinion is amazing and DDR will always be a remembered game when it comes to the Arcades. The coolest part of this skin now is the KO at her death animation. Everything else is just not good in my opinion. If I created this skin I'd definitely imagine it a lot different, and I'd make it an ultimate skin or Atleast a legendary
Different item icons for the wielder of the skin (chicken for health pots, 8-bit shields and swords and little power ups as the elixirs, basically make the items look different while they're in her inventory)
Something with a groovy voice over when she enters the rift "let the battle begin"
Give her a combo point system on the top right of the screen, so every time she hits something within a second or so window you can see the HIT number on the top right.
Her Q, announce in order 3 2 1 as she uses her Q
The animation on it is alright
Her W, announce COMBO BREAKER during usage
Should have more of an 8-bit explosion around her instead of the arrow thing
Her E, should have an arcade arrow in the direction she's heading that trails behind her, and a different color based on direction
And should have a stereo typical 8-bit final fantasy type shield
Her R, announce the words FINISH THEM
On her re-activation of her R it should say MERCY, if she doesn't kill them
Since she's a Zelda reference it would be nice to see her R cast with three different possible animations the electric zap, fire cast, and an ice cast, all like the original 8-bit Zelda games.
The death animation is right on and shouldn't be changed.
The second version (the fan made one) honestly is a better animated version of this skin
Just........think about it riot? Or give this Atleast some consideration?
