Its been a few weeks since this mod released, and this mod doesn't stop to amaze me every time I play with it. Ray is an amazing character and I love how he was made in this SRB2 mod.
Sprite wise he is great (which is expected coming from the same people who made the Chaotix mod). I usually don't use 3D models for characters because I like appreciating the sprite work, this is the same with Ray, when playing as him you cannot only see the work put into these sprites but his shining personality and I am talking specially about that walking and gliding animation.
Gameplay wise he is also great. While I find maintaining his glide and momentum quite difficult, I still have fun and it feels so satisfying when being able to fly for long distances. I do think that his gliding could be buffed just a little bit and it would be just perfect. I feel like Ray was always meant to be controlled in 3D spaces, so his gameplay just feels right.
Before the mod released and when imagining his gameplay, I always pictured him having some of his abilities from the Sonic3AIR mod. I am so happy that those abilities were used in this mod specially the wall cling since I find it really useful when playing as him.
Ray is overall a pretty fun character, and makes me happy to see once again another character from the classic era making their way to SRB2. I am a big classic era fan so...yeah you can imagine how crazy I was when Chaotix and now this released. I am so excited to see what Team Combi-Rings is going to bring us next. But something that is certain is that whatever they are cooking up, it is going to be great and high-quality work.
Congrats to the team for making such a cool mod!
