Description
NOTE: AÑI IS OCCASIONALLY UPDATED WITH NEW ITEMS WITH NEW ABILITIES, THIS DECREASES THE ODDS OF EACH ITEM AND ADD MORE THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR. Check back every now and then to see what’s new! And think twice before adding or removing her from a tournament due to said items (God forbid you put her in one at all)

Happy Cinco De Mayo to the Rivals of Aether workshop! As a gift, have this Piñata made entirely for and filled with fun! I bet you weren't expecting this, after all, her element is the element of SURPRISE!

How do you play her? That's also a surprise, but I'll explain at least a few things for you:

-Dspecial can be canceled out of by dodging or attacking (with the exception of specials) once you hit with it, keep this in mind! It can hit aerial opponents, but it wont force them to dance unless they’re on the ground. Pay attention to whether or not the opponent still has music notes on them!

-Dash attack can cancel into down strong or ftilt at any point, you'll want to decide on which one to use based on where the opponent is trying to escape and where they currently are. Both moves have less startup when canceled into this way.

-You can see what present you'll drop when doing Dair for a few frames before it drops, try checking it by short hop fast falling, the present you see will be what drops next time! The present with the cross is the one that heals opponents, and the present with the vertical ribbon is the one that harms them. The top of the ribbon also looks slightly different. You will always start a stock with the harming present.

-Your Nspecial is on a cooldown, check the little party ball on your hud to see when it will be ready next! Speaking of, the items that drop from the party ball can be grabbed by you or the opponent by using normal attacks like jabs, tilts, and aerials. Holding a direction will influence where the item is thrown.

-WARNING: do NOT under any circumstances hit Ani's partyball while it's starting up! Ani can't harm it, but the opponent can! Hitting the party ball makes it unstable, which can lead to even crazier/more lethal items spawning!

-The candy ani drops when getting hit can be eaten by opponents to restore 1hp, but it will briefly stun them and cancel their attack. If their attack is disjointed or a projectile, they may destroy the candy without eating it!

There is a 1-7 chance your Fstrong will misfire, making it significantly larger and more powerful, but with a bit more endlag.

-Uspecial can be held down to stay in the air for longer. You can move horizontally slightly while doing this, and airdodge/walljump out when necessary. If you have your double jump still, you can double jump right at the end of your airdodge if you time it just right.


-Bair is essentially a special! You can hold the opposite direction to reverse which way you fly!

-Fair has 2 ending hitboxes. One that semi spikes at the bottom, and another that launches more outward at the top

-Uair will pop automatically if it hits an opponent, but if it doesn’t you’ll be stuck floating for a while!

-Ustrong has more vertical reach the longer you charge it, as displayed by the layers of cake!

Ani was intended to be an anniversary gift for workshop, but got delayed due to the standies. Credit to RavynHardcastle and SuperSonicNK for helping make the base code for the items. Shout out to Archytas, Giik, VVizard, Sai, and Nackles for contributing ideas and other code assistance where needed!

Thank you to @TZ_MusicEDM for creating the Theme for Añi! This theme appears in her victory screen and eventually her stage, stay tuned for that!

Añi's buddy, Gato, is available here: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2478076214

I hope you enjoy Ani as if it was your birthday every day! Happy Birthday Workshop!!

I am in fact aware of the dash attack bug from the update, will see about getting a patch out soon, kinda busy with KilaFlow so it's hard to find time to come back and patch mods lol
