Hello everyone,Mai Natsume is now complete. Like my other characters, she uses a custom gameplay style that is largely based on her Cross Tag moveset, she also has a few of her old moves.More screenshots in the spoilerSpoiler, click to toggle visibiltyGet Mai here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mTsUB5eogTKUAj-93s_y28LXZgUCnxuy/view?usp=sharingI want to give a quick shout out to Takehaya Susanoo, Mister Fael Chan, Nep Heart, and SolidZone 26 for testing this character. This is the first time I've sent a character out for pre-release testing, and I think it worked out really well. I will most likely do this again for my next character. Speaking of which...I've decided to skip the poll this time around. There is one character in particular who has been in the polls since the beginning, and has gotten around 2nd place in each one. I think it's finally time I threw him a bone...Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyIts Gordeau.As always, have fun.
As always, you're great.Would you be able to do Persona characters too?I noticed that you never put them in your polls.
5AA > 5C is an infinite.Is 5C being safe on block intentional?Almost all of her normals are safe even. 66A, 2B, and 2C being the exceptions.j.C blockstun is... rather long. About +15 air to air and +35 air to ground.

I just feel like I still have some things to learn before I tackle them.I would eventually like to work on Mitsuru and Naoto though, and maybe Kanji too.ArtistofLegacy said, October 16, 2018, 09:53:13 pm5AA > 5C is an infinite.Is 5C being safe on block intentional?Almost all of her normals are safe even. 66A, 2B, and 2C being the exceptions.j.C blockstun is... rather long.

Quick tiny update to fix the things that ArtistofLegacy pointed out, including the 5AA > 5C infinite. Go ahead and redownload Mai.Quote- Increased the cooldown time and cornerpush on 5C- Made some adjustments to the guard stun on Mai's normals

Great work as usual! Now knowing that you are going for Gordeau, it's time for me to ready for Ruby + Gordeau's tag team shenanigans.
Wow! Your characters are great! Would you be able to do Guilty Gear characters too? It would be interesting to see Guilty Gear characters in this style

@OHMSBY WOW your forth character congrats! I'am so excited to see your work in the future I brought palettes for Mai
Oh, MAI what thicc thighs you have OwO also she is really fun to use. The only thing is I am not good with her lol. I cannot seem to find any good aerial combos xD anyone got any suggestions?P.S. Working on Goreau next?! SCYTHE TEAM ON THE WAY BB! *eager face*
After playing the official release, I noticed there are some things I mentioned during my pre-release testing still remained unchanged. However, there are mostly personal preference and aesthetics, so it's not too major of a concern.Like the ground fx for the Suzuran, I originally thought a landing a spear on the ground doesn't create much impact unlike a punch to the ground similar to what Yang and Mika does. Since I bring that up, you kinda forgot to put the ground fx back on Ragna's Belial Edge when you fixed his landing bug. There was one before the bug, but not after. I didn't report the missing ground fx earlier as I thought it looked better without it, which is why I mentioned it during my pre-release feedback. You can go back to fix it if you want, but I like it better when there isn't any for that move only.As for the lifebar portrait, I already know it's not something you can fix on your end so it will probably be in later updates. She just looks like she had a bad makeup day.Overall, everything else looks good. I'm also glad to see Gordeau being the next WIP this time around. Besides the last poll (which he was in the middle), he always gets high votes but beaten by newcomers who were recently added every time.Edit: Forgot one thing. For the Sylvan Hurricane Assault that uses number 62 as ground fx, I do like the change but I personally think it's too big. It should be the same size as the opponent:Also make the character play (7,2) from the common.snd when the opponent hits the ground.Umezono said, October 16, 2018, 11:27:26 pmI know OHMSBY replied but please refrain from requesting other characters in release threads, thank you!And I know you are a Global Moderator for this site, but OHMSBY does not update his WIP topic anymore. Therefore, has no places for free discussion. Just saying.

She just looks like she had a bad makeup day.Things have gotten busy for CozySquirtle. However, he was able to teach me what I need to know in order to make small ports like he does. So I went ahead and took a crack at the small port, and I was able to cut down on the shading.SolidZone 26 said, October 18, 2018, 09:00:17 amFor the Sylvan Hurricane Assault that uses number 62 as ground fx, I do like the change but I personally think it's too big. It should be the same size as the opponentThis is actually something that varies from fightfx to fightfx. For instance, Anim 62 in Mugen's default fightfx is actually smaller than the one in your screenshot. Although, because of this variance, its probably best to have the scale set to 1,1.Anyway, Mai has gotten another tiny update that includes the new small port and a couple of other small cosmetic changes. Go ahead and redownload her.Quote- Cleaned up the small port, included the original as an alternate- Adjusted the scale of the effect for when the opponent lands after being hit by Sylvan Hurrican Assault- Changed the landing sound for when the opponent lands after being hit by Sylvan Hurrican Assault
Kind of wish EX Himeyuri would have a bit more untech time so you can combo off of it. I guess that's what the tip mechanic is for (that I only just realized was added when I went to check the readme for something) but it still feels weird that I otherwise have to spend more meter if I don't hit with the tip.Anyway, here's a combo I came up with after a few minutes of fucking around. https://streamable.com/2n3jqRecording that made me realize that Floral Blizzard Blossom gives back meter.
I've also made EX Himeyuri invulnerable so it can have some utility outside of its somewhat limited combo potential.ArtistofLegacy said, October 19, 2018, 06:41:34 pmRecording that made me realize that Floral Blizzard Blossom gives back meter.Whoops, this calls for a quick update. Go ahead and redownload her.Quote- Mai no longer regains meter during Floral Blizzard Blossom
Not to discredit the work done on the small portraits, but they're too zoomed in. Looks odd to have one or both of the eyes cut off.

My hands are a bit tied at the moment.
nice update as always! anyway I brought another mai palettes for you OHMSBY~ if anyone want to download my own palettes. the link is already in bellowhttp://www.mediafire.com/folder/s220tyfdw98pc/Extra_Palettes_(Mai)
Are you still accepting palettes? Because I made a Cyron Tanryoku palette for her. Might do others too. (Probably Rondoline an Rydia)
I don't plan on adding any more palettes to Mai, but I still really enjoy seeing what kind of palettes people come up with, so feel free to post it here.
It's update time. Go ahead and redownload Mai.Quote- Upgraded to Nep Heart's Burst system (Mai can now burst during custom states, but not during throws and supers)- Adjusted Damage values- All attacks now deal extra damage on counter hit- Mai now has a new 5C (5xCA from Central Fiction) that bounces the opponent into the air on counter hit- Running B now wall bounces the opponent on counter hit- It is now possible to air grab during Moon Blossom (As long as you're holding forward)- Adjusted the hitbox on Himeyuri: Dipper so it can hit grounded opponents more consistently- Slightly increased the amount of time needed to pass before being able to change Exseal's direction- 2A can now only chain into itself up to 3 times- New Slash sounds- Fixed the Exseal direction change causing debug flood- Fixed an error where Mai would sometimes pass through the opponent during 2C- Fixed an error where Mai could potentially chain into her normal grab with precise timing- Added special intro against Kuroko
I actually do plan on updating her again fairly soon, now that all of her BBTAG voice clips, both English and Japanese, have been properly ripped. I'm also going to have to give her the updated burst system, custom fall states, and a special intro with Mitsuru.
Big HUGE update time. Go ahead and download Mai again.Quote- New system mechanic: Ultra Burst. Burst can now be used in a neutral state, and doing so will put Mai in a powered up state that gives the following benefits: +Health and Meter will gradually recover overtime (Unless you're taking damage) +Damage output will be increased by 20% +Timer will be frozen +Hitting the opponent with the Ultra Burst will launch them upward and will be unable to recover from it +Hitting the opponent with the ultra burst will also grant 500 meter instantlyThe time that the Ultra Burst state will last is proportionate to the amount of health lost prior to activating, Attempting an astral heat will immediately end the Ultra Burst state- Implemented throw escape system, the opponent can now escape Mai's normal throws by inputting A+B, B+C, X+Y, or Z within 14 frames after being grabbed. However, throws are inescapable on counterhit- New Burst icon- New cut in portrait for astral heat- Updated Snd file- Realigned aerial sprites- Revised Burst System- After a successful Burst, none of Mai's attacks will connect until the opponent has recovered- Fixed an error where Mai could rapid cancel her burst- Fixed an error where the counter message wouldn't show up for helper based attacks- Mai now makes use of custom fall states, bypassing fall.defence_up- Implemented Incremental cornerpush and hitsun decay- Changed the command for Shearing Cherry Blossom Storm to 22C during 5AAA- Due to the above change, it is now possible to chain from 5AAA into either 5C or 2C- Adjusted launch trajectory for running grab- It is now possible to cancel running grab into Sylvan Hurricane Assault or Floral Blizzard Blossom- Adjusted cooldown for 5AAAA- The opponent now disappears after being KO'ed by New Moon Lotus- Changed Scale from .315,.315 to .33,.33- Added special intro against Mitsuru Kirijo- Added AI- New Alternate Japanese .snd file available here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cDzT5ctYRGDIkFoWXv9USVj1paI1iohi/view?usp=sharing
Seems like whenever Mai does her victory pose after an Astral Finisher, her Japanese dialogue is longer than her English one as the match ends while she isn't finished yet.
If you go into your Mugen's Fight.def file and set "over.time" to a higher number (mine is set to 210), it should fix that and any other instance where win poses are suddenly cut short.
Eh, I suppose there's no harm in giving her a quick update then. Go ahead and redownload her.Quote- Increased the amount of time before the round ends during the astral heat winpose to prevent her japanese voice from cutting off.
I just noticed something when using her Astral Finisher. During the explosion part, a section of the stage can be seen. Not sure if it's a 1.0 thing.
And fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.Quote- Fixed an error where the black background would partially disappear during an astral finish
Just right when I was about to point out another thing, you've already updated her. I realize that if you perform Gallia Sphyras - Exseal very close to the ground, the move stops. Is it possible to keep her floating until the animation is done? I pointed out the same issue with Samus with her missiles and was fixed when you gave her upward momentum. Not sure if you can give Mai that as she slowly descends down when using that move. Figured I ask.
I really don't mind making consecutive updates.I went ahead and fixed that. I also noticed a bug where Mai would use her direction change automatically at the end of her initial spear throw animation, so that has been fixed as well. Go ahead and download her again.Quote- When charging Exseal in the air while very close to the ground, Mai's decent will halt until after she has thrown Gallia Sphyras- Fixed an error where the exseal direction change would happen automatically
