Monk

Description
A wolf who values the fundamentals. Monk joins Rivals of Aether, taking on opponents with their all-around, jack of all stats moveset.

N-Special: Aura Sphere
A simple projectile attack. Don’t underestimate it; its size is formidable.

D-Special: Launching Kick
Burst forward with your leg extended. This move has decent knockback, sending you forward when used on the ground and downwards when used in the air.

F-Special: Beast Dash
Slice through your opponents with blinding speed! This attack can be aimed in 8 possible directions. If this move connects, it can be jump or wavedash canceled and you won't be left in Pratfall. If you hold Special, you can follow up the first hit with another immediate dash. Capitalize on the opportunity!

U-Special: Somersault Kick
A multi-hitting flip kick. While not the best when used for recovering, it shines in racking up damage on-stage or defeating foes near the top of the blast zone.

Uniques
- 3 frames after wavelanding, U-Tilt's power is increased and can stun opponents! It also has the tiniest sweetspot that achieves the same effect.

Monk has support for the following mods:
- Star/Screen KO Buddy
- Reiga's The Knight Dream Nail
- Spamite's Kirby Copy Ability

He's the closest to a shoto and glass cannon character. His spirit shows that no matter how underpowered you are, how many damage you got and how many stocks you lost - winning is still winning. Monk's mains, I should tell you something: Forget about your disadvantage, make others respect you!

I really like playing him and he feels like a movement character but he doesn't feel like a Rivals character and more like a smash character in terms of having no stage control or special states and he has nothing that can interact with other elements of his moveset. Like I said, he feels fun and solid as he is but he feels like he doesn't have anything going for him because of what he lacks compared to the base roster characters.

Awesome character and glad you're letting people use it as a baseline

really solid character, i like the kit in general but i feel like the sound effects aren't fitting the game, using the default in-game sound effects maybe could have been better for coherency ?
