I don't find there to be anything wrong with a strong AI, but our CPUs could scale better with level and be less aggressive at the lower levels maybe, so I've made some tweaks to it!
Hopefully lower levels feel better now while not having level 9 be any weaker.

As for other characters, keep in mind that not all of them are up to date with the latest base CPU version, and some have less custom behavior than others!
Puff for example has some custom behavior, but doesn't have the newest base AI right now. Ideally everyone will get it eventually though!

Both Toad and Toadette good moveset and animation but their AI is...Questionable. I know very weak and unworked AI can be bad AI but the opposite doesn't necessary make better result. Both tend to spams specific moves with ease (even when setting at 1). Seems to only concern the Toads because the other chars I tried from you (so far Jigglypuff and King Harkinian) didn't have this "unbalanced AI"

I had bubble flower & mega mushroom & was spamming down smash. I had runes for permanent items, permanent mega mushroom, no poison items, & rare turnips. I'd also died several times. I hadn't been attacking crystals so maybe too many crystals was part of it.

@ThatGuy06
That sounds like the anti-cheapie feature? You can avoid it by holding Attack if needed, but it shouldn't trigger much unless you're using Ronald or something haha.
ThatGuy06 26 Dec, 2024 @ 3:06pm 
sometimes when i use toad he just supersizes at the beginning of the game, and gets a full stat boost is this normal or is it a feature?
bo noise 14 Sep, 2024 @ 10:50pm 
tbh it would be cool if toad could help his team with the power ups well only the mushroom and mega mushroom
FelixBlobDev  [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 3:06pm 
@hypno
Make sure both of you have the newest version; sometimes Steam is very slow at getting new updates unfortunately. Toad hasn't been updated since June, but it's still most likely this due to how slow it can be!
Anyways, you can force it to update by unsubscribing and resubscribing (just make sure to re-launch the game as well afterwards)!

After that you should be able to play as the character, assuming you both have the latest version. Hope that helps you!

helpppppp toad dosn't work online even though my friend has him too :(
FelixBlobDev  [author] 6 Aug, 2024 @ 12:01pm 
@RDMxVOKI
He mostly just appears as a fun rare thing, but he has 2 niche effects as well: He gives you 10 coins, and when rising he can actually hit players (so you can get some very funny kills with some great luck)!
RDMxVOKI 6 Aug, 2024 @ 10:58am 
what does yoshi do when he appears in toad's neutral special

@D YellowMadness
I recreated it pretty easily, so I guess it's just a strategy that went over our heads, haha. Fixed in next patch!
FelixBlobDev  [author] 1 Jun, 2024 @ 8:34am 
@D YellowMadness
Several of those are similar boss characters so I'm not so sure on those, though the base cast one is weird if you got a bubble instakill there too. Generally the bubble does pop pretty quickly, and doesn't go up to the top blast zone like that.
It could be some jank with CPUs but I'm not sure, haha. I'll patch it if there is a genuine thing here though.
D YellowMadness 1 Jun, 2024 @ 12:36am 
It also works on Boss Astra & Boss Hikaru & I did it to one of the base cast (I forget which one) in training mode. The only character I've tried it on who it didn't work on is Boss Mayu because she somehow just pops the bubble immediately even if she's stunned.
FelixBlobDev  [author] 31 May, 2024 @ 11:54pm 
@D YellowMadness
That's almost certainly something weird with the other character, haha. Though if you notice it on other characters too or anything, I'll definitely check that out!
D YellowMadness 31 May, 2024 @ 11:44pm 
Is he supposed to be able to do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p46OZxHFL2c

@Kazzie
Yeah personally I like all 3, haha. Glad you enjoy them though!

And me too, a bunch of my favorites are Gamecube games lol (Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, etc)
Kazzie 28 Mar, 2024 @ 8:30pm 
Also toadsworth tickles my nostalgia bone pretty well. I grew up on the gamecube.
Kazzie 28 Mar, 2024 @ 8:26pm 
Definitely has my favorite neutral B of the three, I like the ability to just make platforms and store them. I love toadette's bair, and Toadsworth easily has my favorite neutrals. Godddd, these characters are so good.

@Miles
Hi, I checked this for myself, but nothing strange happened. It's possible that your installation of either Toad or Luigi is buggy, as this rarely happens, so you could try to reinstall both characters to be sure.
Not sure what else it could be than that, so hopefully that helps!
Miles 25 Mar, 2024 @ 6:16pm 
Hey! Idk if this is fixable or not but when playing as toad or toadette using down special against specifically KASU HEART's luigi character causes the game to crash. Any idea why that might be? Amazing character btw! He's so fun!
FelixBlobDev  [author] 22 Mar, 2024 @ 8:29pm 
@x7bitPixel
Hi, you can just hit Toad and then he won't get said powerup (unless he grabs it of course), and it will become much easier to steal. Additionally, standing on the powerup still allows you to take it even without hitting him as well! So I hope that helps!
x7bitPixel 22 Mar, 2024 @ 6:31pm 
I absolutely love the ideas that you have here but he and his echo fighters are WAYYYY too overtuned.

Like the amount of options and versatility your characters tend to have is beyond like any standard amount. I love the spritework and ideas but like, some of these characters need to be tuned back a lot.

For example: Toad should not automatically get the power ups after hitting the block, and should instead have to grab them. This will make the opponents able to grab it easier instead of having absolutely zero chance of stopping Toad from just racking up an extreme amount of power ups and advantages.
chrismrhach 16 Feb, 2024 @ 4:57am 
You should add compats to basecast! why basecast doesn't get more compats? :(
The Scrapinator 6 Feb, 2024 @ 6:05pm 
im a big nerd and love to have all ideas on how moves can/should be used. rn i know how to play over 160+ workshop characters. not hard to "learn how to play" as a character but hey its an accomplishment i love working on.
The Scrapinator 6 Feb, 2024 @ 6:01pm 
for me 100% love when there is depth in the phone for advice and clarity on how a characters moves might work
FelixBlobDev  [author] 6 Feb, 2024 @ 4:45pm 
@The Scrapinator
For Toad, coins don't do too much and are mostly a blank roll, since NSpec is a decent attack even without an item anyway. However, he can get a 1-up if you hit 100!
And for Toadette and Toadsworth, coins have other effects (Toadette gets a speed boost for having more coins, and Toadsworth can get stars if he has 20+ coins).

Also not necessarily planned, but if people want we could add more tips and info about moves within Toad's phone!
The Scrapinator 6 Feb, 2024 @ 4:14pm 
what do the coins do? also do you plan on having a full move list rundown in game or on this page?
rileymcse 3 Feb, 2024 @ 7:50pm 
you know, this might be the best roa toad that actually has power ups, it would be nice to have more like in wonder, 64, 3D world, or in other mario games. maybe we could get an another character that can be accurate to the a others games. but all i gotta say is that it an wonderful character you made. :steamthumbsup:
FelixBlobDev  [author] 2 Feb, 2024 @ 1:58pm 
@Hanabelle Thank you, glad you like all three! They do have good kill power, but not overly so as long as the opponents DI is on point, haha.
~Too Fresh~ 2 Feb, 2024 @ 1:18pm 
you gotta make the power up compatible with the super mario by Reiga that would be so cool
Valencia [BIRTHDAY GIRL WOOO] 1 Feb, 2024 @ 2:16pm 
all 3 of the toads are phenominal characters, both quality and moveset wise, though i feel like all 3 of em are a tad bit too broken when it comes to kill power
Manuel Toad 31 Jan, 2024 @ 12:13pm 
hey! I don't know how the f### to code!
While the others toads gets to get cool code, I meanwhile atleast try it :c

everyone! Ive found a consistent way to fix the character's colours causing crashing. Basically, uninstall the character, go offline, reinstall the character while offline, go back online and boot up the game and your problems should be fixed :Ashhat:
FelixBlobDev  [author] 28 Jan, 2024 @ 2:28pm 
@Mayo_Man Understandably, haha. It's a very inconsistent bug with the base game specifically, aka a Rivals problem, so unless you're one of the people affected you wouldn't see it. Aka, it is not a bug with Toad, or practically any other Workshop character you can encounter this bug on!
That said, it's obviously nice to hear you don't have it, it's a pretty annoying bug, haha.
Mayo_Man 28 Jan, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
i have not gotten any errors with toad or his alts yet i am confused
FelixBlobDev  [author] 28 Jan, 2024 @ 12:38pm 
@MatchaScrub It's a section of the Mushroom Kingdom remix by Octopus58! You can find a link to it on the Toad House stage, but also here: https://youtu.be/eXm5jmat9PY

What is the victory theme?
FelixBlobDev  [author] 28 Jan, 2024 @ 12:30pm 
@count P_YT Hi! Lots of people are reporting this, but it's a long-running issue with the base game unfortunately, so there's not much I can do. You can try reinstalling the character, as that may help, but I also suggest reporting it to the Rivals developers. Sorry for the inconvenience though!

@MuscleMan (REAL) Yeah sorry about that! The only way to get it fixed is to bug the devs about it, but afaik this bug has never been patched and it seems to be more common as of late.
