Required Sprites

Every character must have what is called "required sprites". These are sprites that you may not necessarily be using for your animations, but must always be included in the character's SFF. These sprites are necessary for your character to appear correctly when thrown.

  • Use only these standard frames when making a action in the .air file that characters beside yourself will execute. For example, getting thrown animation.
  • The horizontal component of "Axis" means around the center of the character, unless specified otherwise

Standard getting hit

  • You MUST follow the numbers exactly.
  • Axes labelled "where feet would be" should have the axis approximately between where both feet would be, if the character was made to stand with his center of gravity fixed in the same position as that required frame
  • Axes labelled "midsection" should have the axis around the waist area
  • Axes labelled "head" should have the axis in the middle of the character's head
  • Some numbers, such as 5000,1 to 5000,9 are for you to add intermediate frames if you choose to do so.
  • See Diagram for an example of how the sprites should approximately look and where the axes should be placed.

Please note. It has been mentioned that the falling sequence is not accurate to the game. This is often entirely true. However you should still FOLLOW what is here so other people know exactly what the sprites look like when they are using custom animations.

You can customise your own air file as much as you wish by adding extra frames that adhere to none of these standards. They aren't there to provide an accurate gethit anim from any specific game. They're there to provide a solid base to any animation you might add, and guarantee that your opponent can reference specific things in their own custom states. If that doesn't happen, certain custom animations will look screwy because you decided sprite 5030,20 shouldn't be the guy lying on his back in midair.

It doesn't even matter if the sprite doesn't officially exist. Find a way to approximate it, put it in and never have it included in your characters animation file. Your opponent may need it at some point.


In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

Here are the recommended sprites and groups to use for CVS2 characters.
The REQUIRED

Do not forget to make the head and waist versions as shown in the 1st post's Diagram.

The community standards for CVS2 specific animations are as follows.

With 5000, 5010, 5020-30 many authors use the head and waist variants as well. IE 5011-30, 5012-30

5950 is for cheap KO, and does not require a CLSN. 5955 is for a general collapse animation, and requires one. I don't know if anyone besides JMorphMan is using 5955, but they should, because there are characters who have moves that cause collapse but can follow up those moves with another attack, before the opponent falls to the floor. Using 5950 is a crapshoot for that, because most characters don't have any CLSNs for those animations! And some characters have different cheap KO and collapse anims!
cheap KO:


collapse:
