I have been wanting to ask, what control options are there for this game? Just xbox controllers? Or is it somehow possible to play with gamecube controllers?

 

You can use a Gamecube controller on PC

Rip Mac users

hopefully it will be out for Mac eventually.

Anyway, I hope they add more characters at some point, but the current selection looks really solid.

There are two more characters that aren't in the trailer. One is a lightning based user, and the other hasn't been revealed.

Mac confirmed for Rivals of Aether.

 

Hope I can get a key!

Still pretty cool thing to hand out here on smashboards, well done writing staff.

 

There are two more characters that aren't in the trailer. One is a lightning based user, and the other hasn't been revealed.

I believe the second character will utilize the power of ice since we already got the following: Fire (flame and smoke), Air (wind and lightning), Earth (rock and plant), Water (Water and Ice)

 

I didn't read that it wasn't available on Linux yet.
Whoops.

At least I got to play it elsewhere; the game is a lot of fun and I figured out that I want to main Wrastor.

 

I can't enter,
I already bought it.

 

RoA MAIN ICONS FOR SMASHBOARDS WHEN

 

I already have the game, don't need and am not asking for the key. I was just wondering if there were anywhere I could be notified about the game featuring in tournaments at any point.

This is actually a good point. Rivals of Aether isn't an official Smash game but it'd be cool if it had it's own Smashboards Section

Mac users can use Wine to play the game, though.

Or Elsa-esque. I want Peach float ;___;

It sounds unoriginal but maybe a reindeer with a peach float? I'd even like a polar bear that can float with the power of Christmas miracles.

Wine and other methods of using Windows with a Mac, don't work for my friend xD sadly.

Ah, well that sucks! It usually works as I've tested it on my Mac. That's actually odd.

Snow fighter? Easy, a polar bear that plays like a mixture of Melee Sopo and Link. That sounds like D-tier potential though.
