Gameplay

Her normal special allows her to create stars from nowhere, hit ‘em and they’ll be shoot in that direction, use normal special again and they’ll come back to you at full speed, some attacks will allow you to bounce!

You may chose to not use the stars, and instead use her raw combat abilities! Rush down your opponents with the multi-input dash attack and neutral air, approach with her grand claw forward special and detonate a giant stardust explosion with down special, but remember, her abilities always shine brighter when used in synergy!

Special Moves

Down: Star Sphere


Fernet creates a sphere out of stardust that will damage enemies on touch (as long as they are in knockback). Spheres have 4 “levels”, what level it comes out depends of how much you charge the attack, every time a sphere hits it’s target, it will have it’s level reduced by one

There’s a lot to unpack here so here’s the list of stuff you can do with it!
  • Use your strong attacks to launch the sphere in different directions

  • Your aerials also work this way, and you can use those for bouncing off the sphere too

  • Enemies can hit the spheres too, and if they do so they’ll take one level out of it!
  • Your spheres bounce off the floor and walls
  • If your sphere is parried, you’ll be hit by it instead, so be careful!

But remember, no one has all the answers so never stop experimenting!

Neutral: Dust Magnet


Fernet rubs her metal gloves that create a **shiny** static reaction that damages all opponents near her

This move will also call over the star sphere at full speed if you have one out!


Forward: Grand Claw


Fernet turns her gauntlet into a giant claw made of stardust.



Aside of being as good a tool for approaching as a knuckle that burns, you can grab your star spheres and throw them at full speed! It also is jump cancelable!

Up: Starfire Upper


Rise like a dragon!

Use this to recover and score stocks from enemies up in the air!

Attack + Special: Catooken


Because quarter circle forward heavy punch is too hard, apparently!

Press attack and special at the same time to shoot a stardust bullet, yes, is a slow and weak projectile, but the stun it deals will give you enough time to chain with a combo!

Her Story

A non-specified species of feline, Fernet mysterious origins can only be traced back as much as her childhood, where she was found by her adoptive parents, two chef calico cats.

But she was no like any other cat on the pack, capable of creating and controlling stardust from her fingers, a friend of her dad crafted a pair of metal gauntlets that help her use those abilities without burning her hands
Aware of her fighting potential, she was sent to Olympia to be trained in the legendary martial art of the Amethyst fist! Now graduated, she and her best friend, TuQiu (coming soon!) will travel the realms of Aether in search for the answer she has yearned for so long, her origin, and identity…

Oh, sorry one more thing; or rather, 2 questions:

How is her name pronounced? Is it FUR-nit or fur-NET? Or maybe Fear-NAY lol

Overall, she's a fun character to play and a great design. It's a shame she wasn't an entry for Rivals 2; because I have a strong feeling she would have at least gotten a runner-up spot. Now, I'm an artist; and there's certain things I find more fun to draw than other. Fernet has a design I was definitely enjoy drawing; so expect some art of this fluffball in the near future. Great job to everyone involved.

As for her design:

Quite frankly, it's why I took a liking to her in the first place. She is, in a word, precious. A small, large handed/footed, fluffed up little thing walloping people is one of my favorite things. Her alts are pretty good as well. She has a design that works with a lot of colors, which is, in my book, a victory for her designers, despite possibly bringing about that stage in designing her where you're just sitting there for hours trying to decide on something as mundane as the color of their socks. Her animations are all fantastic. They make it clear that she's energetic and determined. Her kicking her sandals off is probably my favorite Rivals intro I've seen; and her taunt is absolutely perfect. She reminds me a lot of Sakura from Street Fighter, both being energetic amateurs inspired by an experienced martial artist.

Here to leave a lengthy review for everyone to read if they want:

Fernet is, as the description states, a rushdown character with some unique zoning abilities that thrives on a balance between stage control and applying pressure on the opponent. She works best when swapping between offensive and defensive maneuvers, forcing the opponent to guess whether she's going to rush in for a combo; or stay back and throw out projectiles. Her speed and ability to call her projectile back allow her to meld offense and zoning together in a way I adore. She can be predictable due to her shoto-like arsenal; but her abilities allow her to make unexpected plays and catch the enemy off guard and change up her approach in an instant. Her strongs are laggy and difficult to land; but are reliable kill tools if you know how to rack up the opponent's percent.

Fun character. Shame it was too early to be a contest entry.
