The Dream Collection Presentation - Rivals of Aether Workshop 

This is beyond impressive! As a Kirby & Rivals fan, this just blows my mind! Phenomenal job to everyone who worked on these characters and stages. I am so excited to get my hands on them and mess around with friends!

ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME WE GOT A GOOD KING DEDEDE

Whispy being playable is straight up hilarious THERE'S A CANVAS CURSE STAGE?!?

I haven't played Rivals Of Aether, but I know full well how talented the community surrounding it can be, and this showcase of Kirby addons is no exception. Amazing stuff all around, everyone!

Welp, this is gonna be another WS presentation for the ages. I’m thoroughly hyped

That’s it. You’ve convinced me to get Rivals of Aether. As a diehard Kirby fan, seeing all of these characters and references is a dream come true. Lots of respect to all of the developers who gathered together to create these characters! The last thing i expected was 9 Kirby characters, which is insane!

This was truly a dream collection. Because it feels like I'm dreaming.

-Gooey and Broom Hatter are some of my all time favorite Kirby characters yesss -Wispy is such a good "joke character" and has a fun looking moveset -Susie being a spin on the transformation type character is very cool! I remember seeing her in a workshop presentation a long time ago and being very excited -Dedede's sprites look amazing and the mask is a nice touch. The Drum Dash reference is very nice too -Dark Matter looks incredible and is such a unique take in a sword character! I love floaty characters like Mewtwo so he seems very fun -all the stages look awesome, the Castle Lololo gimmick reminds me of the Mario Bros stage but a bit less cheesy without the enemy hazards

Wow!! This truly was such a coming-together of a lot of the folks in the workshop community!! Proud to have gotten to be a part of it!!

haven't been this happy to see dark matter since robobot. incredible stuff

Awesome I don't even have Rivals of Aether, but, Awesome

This is amazing I love kirby's entire cast of characters all of them are amazing. But I will say I really wanted to see a meta knight that wasn't just a smash port. I would love to see a meta knight that utilizes his more intresting boss fight powers like his giant tornado, cresent slash waves, giant fireball, electric slam, cloning abilities, his earth manipulation, or calling upon the meta knights to assist him. These are only a few examples though since meta knight has a lot of abilities.

Kirby is what I’m here for, and that’s exactly why I truly think this presentation is special. 🌟

Honestly i think this is better than the original kirby from smb mostly because kirbys thing is his abillities witch are rarely shown on his move set while this one has alot more than just like 3

Hey, to whoever made the kirby nod, give them thanks for using to most satisfying beam kirby sound font, kss/kssu sounds. Idk i just love the "rekekekekek--ksshaaa!" Noise

"i fear yout friend has been possesed" kirby:ah shit here we go again

This is the greatest thing to happen to this game Also 5:05 is the only part that matters

Hope everyone enjoyed!! I had such a blast working on this from start to finish.

This is Amazing, I like the fact that you kept a lot of Smash moves while Incorporating more Copies into his moveset. I wish Smash Ultimate Kirby was like this

This just makes me wish I could play was whispy woods in a Kirby game

This absolute labor of love makes me want to give Rivals a shot

Kinda mad there’s no magalor or Marx but this is truly great

"It's just a kirby." "LOOK OUT, HE'S GOT A GUN!"

Awesome! Adorable. Kirby’s an excellent character. They didn’t call him the “Star Warrior” for nothing!

I'm honored to have worked on this group effort with everyone involved!

The way they made Dedede is exactly how I wish he played in Ultimate.

This workshop mod has done more justice than what Nintendo did for Kirby for Smash Ultimate

Alright I guess I have to get this game now

All of these look really incredible, giving Dedede the drum was a stroke of genius and everything about Dark Matter is very impressive. I wonder how you guys would handle Meta Knight and Adeleine.

Whispy Woods as a playable character is something I never expected but I definitely needed

Regarding Kirby as a franchise, you guys actually did it justice by giving every era the representation it deserves. Instead of just lazily adding content from Dream Land, Adventure, & Super Star that literally nobody asked for. This unironically puts Smash Ultimate to shame.

12:15 Congrats Whispy! You're finally a playable video game character! Whispy: YAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to be apart of this, this was incredible!

This is so so so incredible the amount of love and passion is SO felt in this production, and as a Kirby fan I was overjoyed every second of it!! DARK MATTER SWORDSMAN AAAAAAA Thank you everyone involved in this project!!!!

A Kirby that gets Copy Abilities and not just the opponents neutral? That's honestly dope as hell

So many great characters !!! This is awesome. I'm glad it was delayed, this turned out legendary.

I’m a huge Kirby fan, but I barely play Rivals or look up Kirby stuff on RU-vid. How this reached my recommended is a mystery, but man, am I glad it did

King dedede can finally clobbah dat there kirby by himself

the best part of this was winter horns (no bias) nah but funny story, i was literally thinking "lol what if whispy woods" the other day and i cant believe its real lmao fantastic all around, especially appreciate all the animated segments

Poyo

as a huge fan of Kirby, you've already sold me on the amount of "Hot & Fresh" copy ability rep/fanservice in that first trailer Ranger, Staff, Jet, Beam, Fire, Cone Mouth as one of the forms for Stone? this is just delightful

This is amazing! I like this style of revealing the characters by having them appear in a story. The characters that aren't already in Super Smash Bros. are designed nicely in a way that represents them well, and although I prefer the Kirby of the Stars characters that are in Super Smash Bros. not having many of their moves from that game when recreated in a different game, the changes that did happen were great. 🌟

I’ve been waiting forever for dark matter to be added

This is so fucking awesome, the homage to Dededes Drum dash and his new foward smash are fantastic, I love him. With Smash being so conservative with its characters, I’m glad we have fan projects like this giving these characters fighting game appearances that they really deserve, amazing job from everybody here!

SOMEBODY GET VERNIAS HERE, BECAUSE OH GOLLY GEE, IT'S KIRBY

Wow, lots of high quality release clearly, and with a really cool overall theme! You clearly went beyond the call of duty, awesome work everyone! ^^

The quatrio is back! And this time they joins the aether arena!

31:31 Dark Matter casually beats up his Grandfather.

Im Probably the first to notice but "Gooey" has a secret Taunt just select either the Dark Matter or 02 Color and you can see it!

I’m maining these characters… if I had the game Very good presentation. Gooey gang right here

Whispy, Dark Matter and Dedede were the Highlights for me! I hope we see a Dream collection 2 someday!

that was phenomenal, the skills and effort put on display here is nothing but extraordinary. i deeply appreciate the team's dedication to making all of this, i'm gonna have an insane amount of fun. NINE WHOLE CHARACTERS!!! AND ALL THOSE STAGES!!! absolutely insane, 10/10

Incredible work. This community is outstanding.

Honestly words can't express how cool this is as a Kirby fan

This video was such a treat, I'm honestly going through a lot rn and Im so thankful I stumbled upon something so special and amazing. Congratulations to all the developers involved. I can't wait to try all of them out! Especially Wispy Woods and the new Dedede (my co main in smash 😭)

was kinda hoping for marx but this was sick! GG

Damn, you guys even got stuff from Forgotten land in there. I’m really loving the copy abilities incorporated in the moveset!

FINALLY somebody makes the copy abilities based on the games

Incredible! Amazing work to everyone involved!

This is truly amazing, keep up the good work!

I was so hyped the whole way through! Well done to everyone who worked on this!

Oh my god this is so cool!!! Thanks to everyone who took part in creating this, because it never fails to blow my mind, with the amazingly accurate sound effects being identical to the Kirby games, and the variety of characters featured! Love the gooey one, very cute (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ love to all the creators!

What an awesome presentation! these characters all look so cool and so much fun! Props to everyone who put these together.

This is just amazing the sprite work is great man

Seeing this makes me want to buy rivals of aether now :p every character was done so well you guys put more thought into Kirby than there ever will be in smash and thats awesome

This is amazing. Im not very familiar with most of the games in the series but all these characters and stages just look super fun for their own sake and I can't wait to try it

absolutey INSANE lineup, shoutouts to everyone involved!

Loving these boss-style introductions!

This presentation motivated me to get Aether and it’s awesome, especially with the Kirby characters and stages that keep rolling out. Great job everyone who worked on this! Everyone I’ve played with so far and I thank you

Amazing presentation ! Looking forward to it !

Some of my two favorite games ever combined! This is incredible!

A bunch of talented devs getting together to make a bunch of characters and stages based on a particular series is an amazing format for a rivals workshop presentation, you can really feel the love put into these creations and it's a nice excuse to celebrate our beloved Kirby. I hope someone does this format again with a different series.

As someone who’s always searching the Rivals Workshop, I’m beyond excited for the Kirby series to get so much love!! This’s awesome!

This was an amazing experience to be a part of. Great job to everybody involved and thank you for letting me be a part of it!

OMG I cannot believe someone other than me has seen the light- sorry dark, of having Dark Matter in swordsman form for a smash-esque move set. Thank you so much for that and everything!

Bro there is so many references to recall in this singular video. It sure does fell good to be a Kirby fan.

This is the greatest thing I've thing in my life.

I see, so instead of copying the inhaled character's neutral, you get a copy ability from the Kirby series when you inhale a character. Neat concept! This has a LOT of potential, alongside the rest of the stuff detailed in this video. Now I REALLY want to get Rivals of Aether.

Im crying, this actually has so much attention to detail, its a job well done.

I love the little side story

I'm just in awe... that was SO GOOD!!!!

Underrated channel these characters are amazing

(Adding onto this as I watch) Smash style Kirby that isn’t boring? Awesome! There’s no way you nerds made Whispy Woods playable, that’s just amazing! I love the remix playing in the Susie gameplay demo

these look incredible, both animation and fighting design

This is so dope, never thought I’d ever say I might main broom hatter

Yo someone name Garebear in the coding part, that's sick! Guys thanks everyone for this opportunity- nah I'm just kidding, I wasn't the one to help code it but still, that's sick!

Love the story in Dream Collection!

This is really cool! Kinda shocked/baffled by the lack of Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee, but hey everything that's here looks phenomenal!

Now, this is incredible

Dedede is my smash ultimate main and i can't wait to main him here

This is incredible and well made! I am impressed! I just wish it had Marx, Taranza or Elfilin.

Super awesome might pick up the game from this alone : )

Can we all talk about, how they gave Whispy Woods a moveset?

I only have rivals of aether on switch but this mightve just sold me on getting the PC version

Finally, a solid, clean D3 pack.

THIS. IS. AMAZING.

Nice job! :0

Damn, my man Taranza getting shafted like always

Can't wait!

Now imagine if MUGEN creators had this kind of drive for Kirby characters.
