ADAMAS

Story: Questioning his loyalty and fearing for his own personal safety after the events of SOM2 (including Thirteen's successful attack that saw him finally make Adamas bleed as well as his near-fatal attack on Snow), Adamas begins to wonder if what he's fighting for is worth his life and considers fleeing or accepting some sort of deal from Maddicorp.
Moves:


UNIQUE MOVES

-Step Side Kick - F+HK - A longer range HK that moves him forward. Hits hard

SPECIAL MOVES:

-Diamond Shard - QCF+P - Pretty standard projectile, though the LP version moves particularly slow to allow the heavy Adamas a chance to use it as a shield for safe approaches
   -EX Diamond Shard - Throws 3 Shards in quick succession

-Diamond Dust - QCF+P in air - An air version of Diamon Shard that breaks up quickly
   -EX Diamond Dust - Throws three in quick succession, like EX Diamond Shard

-Fist of Adamas - QCB+P - Dashing straight diamond punch, basically his only forward-moving attack
   -EX Fist of Adamas - Faster, multi-hit version, great for combos and instant punishes

-Diamond Spike - DP+P - Not your typical anti-air. Ssince it's safer than your standard DP, it's timing is more specific and there is no invincibility at the beginning
   -EX Diamon Spike - Faster version that's slightly taller and has a bit of invincibility at the beginning

SUPER MOVES

-L1 - Diamond Rush - QCFx2+P - Multi-hit "auto-combo" type super, purely offensive option that is rather safe if blocked but leaves him wide open if whiffed completely

-L3 - Diamond Rapture - QCFx2+K - Long range projectile-type super where he raises thee huge Diamond Spikes in succession, thus making the move very strategic since proper screen position and close proximity to the opponent is necessary for full damage. In exchange for this the move is very safe and does great block damage

-DM - Blue Sky Falling - QCFx2+S - Throws a quick, hard-hitting giant diamond at the opponent, and if it hits, they're stunned while Adamas jumps into th air and comes crashing down holding a massive diamond ball (think Hulk's Meteor super from the MVC games). Fast but tons of recovery if the initial hit isn't successful

MAIN DIFFERENCES FROM SHADEs 2

-Fist of Adamas has less range, this along with his lack of run makes Adamas a big, slow tank with good projectile options
-Both projectile supers (Diamond Break and Ice Storm) have been repurposed as EX versions of Diamond Shard and Diamond Dust (though the projectiles for EX Diamond Dust/Ice Storm are now normal sized)
-No more Diamond Cutter command throw
-Made it easier to juggle with his L3 (Diamond Rapture)
-Completely new DM that was introduced in Capcom vs The World
-New sprite update, also introduced in CvTW
-I need a new VA for him because I want to add some new intros and the original VA is not available to me

Gameplay: Adamas is still the main "beginner"-type character, with a pseudo-Shoto moveset, high damage, and high health. He is still slow and is one of only two characters to have a forward dash rather than a full run.

APOLLO

Story: After his encounter with the seemingly honest and good-natured NYPD detective Garret Laurel, Apollo's blind loyalty to Maddicorp and its assumed benevolence begins to crack, throwing into chaos everything Apollo believes and stands for.
Moves:
Gameplay:

BLOODTIDE

Story: Now that her brother Snow and his allies know of her true nature as a CIA mole, Bloodtide finds herself conflicted between her duties (under orders from her superior Gant) and her familial loyalties.

Moves:

UNIQUE MOVES

-Bloody Heel - DB+HK - Her launcher, a vertical heel kick

SPECIAL MOVES:

-Crimson Arrow - Charge B,F+K - Long-range flying kick, only HK version causes knockdown
   -EX Crimson Arrow - Faster version of CA that will eat one-hit projectiles

-Vermillion Strikes - Charge D,U+K - Anti-air flurry of kicks, will only hit air-borne opponents, not a typical AA
   -EX Vermillion Strikes - Faster version that does much more damage

-Bloodshot - QCF+P - Ground skimming projectile that dissipates a little over halfway across the screen
   -EX Bloodshot - Very fast moving and traverses the whole screen

-Scarlet Tornado - QCB+K (also in air) - Twirling, jumping move that now functions more like Cammy's Hooligan Combination
   -EX Scarlet Tornado - Fast, short version that hits once and passes through opponent, guaranteeing an extra hit
      -Scarlet Dive - K during ST - A short, quick, dive kick that halts forward momentum
      -Scarlet Capture - Throw button during ST when close - A hurricanrana that sets them up for juggles, strict timing
      -Scarlet Needle - P after landing from ST - quick sliding elbow, hard knockdown
      -Scarlet Barrage - K after landing from ST - Series of kicks with good reach and damage
         -EX Scarlet Barrage - LK+HK after landing from ST - Faster with more range, damage and hard knockdown   

SUPER MOVES

-L1 - Red Cyclone - QCBx2+K - Super version of Scarlet Tornado where she is surrounded by blood

-L3 - Crimson Tide - QCFx2+P - Creates a huge tidal wave of blood, practically full-screen projectile that does huge damage

-DM - Born in Blood - QCFx2+S - Quick grab with slightly more range than normal grabs, she then surrounds and impales her opponent

MAIN DIFFERENCES FROM SHADEs 2

-Added more options to Scarlet Tornado so that it's more like Cammy's Hooligan Combination
-EX versions of all specials are no available
-Life increased from 850 to 900
-Slightly longer range on her launcher
-Bloodshot projectile now only travels about half-screen, making them harder to spam
-The Wall and Ruby Weapon removed, they were too safe and I want her playstyle to be more risky
-Claret Capture/Hurricanrana are no part of Scarlet Tornado
-DM Born in Blood now has much less range and more recovery, still a good move but overall less safe

Gameplay: Bloodtide is a very mobile character with lots of options. She has 900 life meaning she's a little squishy. I find the best way to use her is to hop around and get in your pokes and quick combos, building meter for either her DM or her L3 Super (which is maybe the safest L3 super in the game).

DET. GARRET LAUREL

Story: Following an encounter with Apollo and a suspension from the force, Det. Laurel dedicates his time and efforts into the dual cause of protecting the city from Obsydian and Kane, and trying to get through to Apollo, the good-hearted tech genius brainwashed by Maddicorp.
Moves:
Gameplay:


EXILE

Story: Awakened by Maddicorp after a brief chemically-induced hibernation, Exile seems to have lost his sympathetic and remorseful side and now follows his orders with no resistance. However, something deep within him is telling him to remember who he is and where he came from.

FRAY

Story: Having ended her physical relationship with Moses while asserting her professional status within Maddicorp, Fray seeks to prove that she is more vital to the company than even its CEO by assuming full control of the Collection Agency amidst The Specialist's disappearance.
Moves:
Gameplay:

KANE KELLY

Story: Weakened by his defeat at the hands of Snow, Kane senses the power of a newly transformed Obsydian. Kane seeks him out and forms an unholy and immensely powerful alliance with the naive Obsydian, hoping to manipulate his God-like power for his own ends, throwing the entire city into disarray.
Moves:

UNIQUE MOVES

-Black Knuckle - F+HP - Spinning backhand, better range than standard HP but more rcovery
-Vertical Limit - B+HP - Completely vertical uppercut, good for a quick, safe anti-air
-Entity Strike - F+HK - A strong but unsafe double-fist strike by The Entity with good priority and damage
-Midnight Flicker - LK > LK - Quick double kick to extend combos
-Midnight Combo - LK > LK > F+HP > F+HK - Target combo that ends in a hard knockdown

SPECIAL MOVES

-Jet Black Stare - QCF+P
   -Jet Black Impact - P - Does light damage but pops opponent up for juggles or a super move
   -Jet Black Slash - K - More damage than above but does hard knockdown, use when KO is guaranteed
   -Jet Black Strike - U+P - Oberhead follow-up for a blocked JBS, but has huge start-up and recovery if blocked
   -Jet Black Retreat - LK+HK (EX) - EX move, performs a safe retreat, use when initial move is blocked at the expense of meter

-Avenging Angel - DP+P - Shoulder-strike anti-air attack, same properties as a standard DP
   -EX Avenging Angel - Double AA with quick invincible start-up but lots of recovery if whiffed

-Comet Pressure - RDP + P - Jumping long-range punch attack, similar to Terry's Power Dunk
   -EX Comet Pressure - EX version hits on ascent and has a faster, more direct descent

-Entity Capture - HCB+K - The Entity grabs opponent and throws them against the wall, HP is for damage, LP does little damage but pops opponent up for juggles/combos

SUPER MOVES

-L1 - Negative Charge - QCFx2+K - Quick, single-hit orb super with low range, high-priority and projectile invincibility

-L3 - Desolation Row - QCFx2+P - Fast, long-range multi-hit super that can hit grounded, air-borne or falling opponents

-DM - Symbiotic Harmony - QCFx2+S - Decent range grab super that does huge damage but has lots of recovery

MAIN DIFFERENCES FROM SHADEs 2

-Entity Strike specials are now just one command normal
-Old L1 Super Sin & Punishment is now the EX version of his DP
-Black Reign is gone due to redundancy
-New Jumping HP
-Negative Charge is now his L1 super, no actual charging required
-Entity Capture had no differences before, now the LK version does minor damage but pops the opponent up for juggles
-Jet Black Impact is similar, it now does minor damage but pops the opponent up for juggles, making it different in use from Jet Black Strike
-Jet Black Retreat was mad safe and abusable before so now it's a meter-eating EX move
-Old MP is now his HP while his old HP is now a command normal
-Less health overall due to gameplay and storyline reasons

Gameplay: Kane is a bit of a miscellaneous-type character with good anti-air and rush down options, plus a command grab, making him a threat at all ranges except long range due to his lack of projectile. He has probably the best DM in the game which makes keeping a full-meter a priority for him when the chips are down. He is pretty fragile though which makes it important to play strategically and patiently with him.

MOSES MADDIGAN

Story: Lacking confidence and feeling vulnerable after he is defeated by his half-brother Sabotage, Maddigan joins forces temporarily with the rogue subjects he had been hunting in order to eliminate Obsydian and Kane so that he can clean up his company's mess, unbeknownst to his loyal VP Fray and the Collection Agency.
Moves:
Gameplay:

OBSYDIAN (BYRNE)

Story: After being surprised and bested by Wyldestar, Byrne's anger and frustration cause him to fully evolve into the God-like Obsydian, a being with immense powers but still seeking the short-sighted goal of "total anarchy." He is visited by a bruised and battered Kane Kelly and convinced that the two should destroy the city and bring about the end of civilization.
Moves:
Gameplay:

RUCKUS

Story: Having been captured and imprisoned by the Collection Agency, Ruckus is suddenly released when Kane and Obsydian attack the remote storage facility he's being kept in. He calls up his trusty tag-team partner Donny Brooks and once again ventures out to talk some sense into his sister Fray.
Moves:
Gameplay:

SABOTAGE

Story: After narrowly defeating his half-brother Moses Maddigan in an intense battle within Maddicorp, Sabotage nearly falls to his death but is saved by Maddigan at the last second. This leads to an uneasy alliance between Maddigan and the rogue subjects in an effort to defeat Kane and Obsydian in order to restore order to Manhattan.

SNOW

Story: Snow has recovered from the near-fatal wound inflicted upon him by Thirteen (as seen in Thirteen's ending in SOM2). Traumatized and deeply affected by the experience, Snow is determined more than ever to end the suffering of his fellow subjects and win their freedom.

Moves: Most notable, as with most SHADEs 3 returning characters, Snow's list of super moves has been condensed, and his special moves have been streamlined.

UNIQUE MOVES

-Shin Tap - F+LK - A slightly farther reaching LK with more recovery. Basically his MK repurposed as a command normal, best used to extend combos and to make up for the relatively short reach of his standard LK
-Psy-Knee - DF+HK - A short ranged hopping knee strike, functionally very similar to K' from KOF. Hits overhead unless it's used in a combo.
-Backward Sobat - B+HK - A version of his Rolling Sobat HK that moves backwards instead of forwards
-Running Sobat - F+HK during run - A version of his standard HK with more forward momentum
-Psy-Combo - LK > Shin Tap > Psy-Knee > Running Sobat

SPECIAL MOVES

-Psych Shot - Charge B,F+P or K - The P version is from a standing position and the K version is from a crouch. The only difference is screen positioning, the K version does not need to be blocked low.
   -EX Psych Shot - A faster, multi-hit version of the high/low Psych Shot

-Psych Slice - Charge D,U+K - Flash Kick-type anti-air attack
   -EX Psych Slice - Snow's old L2 super is now the EX version, a double rotation Flash Kick

-Psy-Kick - QCB+K (also in air) - Hopping spinning kick that gives Snow options for horizontal offense. Can also be performed in the air with different movement properties
   -EX Psy-Kick - A high-arching version of Psy-Kick that homes in on the opponents horizontal position, good for jumping over projectiles. Has a small hit-box at the very beginning that will only hit air-borne opponents, making it a good anti-air that doesn't require a charge

SUPER MOVES

-L1 - Psych Force - QCFx2+P - A fairly safe, single-hit Psych burst that appears either directly in front of him (LP) or at mid-screen (HP).

-L3 - Cerebral Destroyer - QCBx2+P - Massive, fast-travelling and very hard to dodge Psych Shot

DM - Cerebral Illusion - QCFx2+S - Just like his old DM, he projects an illusion of himself, and if it hits or gets hit by an attack, the opponent is trapped and assaulted by Snow AND the illusion, ending with a Psych Spike in mid-air (it used to also be a Destroyer but that felt redundant design wise)

MAJOR DIFFERENCES FROM SHADEs 2

-Air Senton is gone, replaced by the Aerial Psy-Kick which is less safe and less abusable, and is mainly for ending air combos or halting Snow mid-air to control his descent
-Old L2 Super (the double flash kick) is now his EX Psych Slice
-No more Psych Sweeper, it was too many projectiles and the fixed position of Psych Force requires more strategy and planning while giving him a close range big-hit move that can get his opponent off of him in a hurry

Gameplay: Snow's gameplay is more focused on zoning and accurate reads and reactions. His multiple projectile options and need to charge his specials makes correct reads, patience, and space control more important than ever.

THIRTEEN

Story: At the conclusion of SOM2, Thirteen succeeds in his obsessive quest to pierce Adamas' unbreakable skin. Unfortunately, Adamas immediately cracks Thirteen's mask open with a thunderous blow, stunning him and sending him reeling, causing Thirteen to decide that making Adamas bleed isn't enough. He attacks Adamas' friend Snow, nearly killing him, awakening a desperate desire within himself to kill not only every person who has wronged him, but also their friends and family.
Moves:
Gameplay:

VESPER

Story: Deciding to distance herself from her sordid past and no longer identifying herself as a victim, Vesper decides to leave a mark on the saga of the SHADEs subjects by eliminating Moses Maddigan, Sabotage, Obsydian and Kane Kelly in pursuit of an unknown goal.
Moves:
Gameplay:

WYLDESTAR

Story: After briefly defeating Byrne but being scorned and rejected afterwards, Wyldestar decides to prove her strength and maturity by defeating Bryne's evolved form of Obsydian. If she happens to save the city and get famous, well, that's just a little bonus.
Moves:
Gameplay:

ZENITH

Story: Further seeking atonement but unsure of her true motives, Zenith allies himself with the bounty hunter Elle in order to capture the missing Specialist, who went into permanent hiding after hearing of Elle's arrival in Manhattan.

To be fair, I didn't expect the reason for Obsydian's appearance to be because of Wyldestar besting him.......

I honestly thought it was something else entirely....

I see the original version Snow will remain a Guile clone pretty much to the T (nothing wrong with that since he has been for years).  Will we be seeing different versions of the characters? I vaguely remember there being a more offensive oriented version of Snow being available in the previous game.

I may eventually do EX versions again but I want to make sure the core cast is as solid and balanced as possible first. This was the feedback you gave me about Snow when I first started talking about SHADEs 3:

Snow

- Not many changes need to be made here, obviously. I will say Senton Splash and Psy-Kick basically have the same function. Psy-Kick should probably have an EX version but I don't know what it would do.
- I like the fact that basic Snow is more of a defensive Guile type and EX Snow is an offensive version. If you have to sacrifice one in the re-design though, try to resist the urge to incorporate some of EX Snow's moves into regular Snow.

I'm actually using your feedback for all the characters as a guide for what should be changed and streamlined.

Wow talk about a blast from the past. I agree with myself on that point   :P

You're doing the right thing though worrying more about the normal cast. You probably don't even need to make EX characters anymore at this point since you're focusing more on quality rather than quantity. I was just trying see if they were going to exist is all.

edit: Re-reading that thread 4 years later I was a really talkative mf wasn't I?  :laugh3:

Hindsight really is something else. I should've been focusing more on creating my own designs than keeping my nose in everyone elses haha

  • wha? p-p-purple stars? how!?
hello Sean and y'all.
i've been became a fan of these series and really wanted to see more especially the progress for the third installment.
Well, anyways. i made a try to redesign on one of your characters in the game, Bloodtide.
Since most of the characters had also been redesign for the third game, maybe it could be an opportunity for this one then?

Btw, i made some rework on the sprites and animations for this design for her. Most of them are based on the original but some of them are new. the shading isn't CvS-ish, kind of random(maybe?) to fit within on the other sprites for the game.

But i guess the design might be quite questionable to most people but i felt to urge to try it and see on how it goes then...

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

that's all i could have. maybe what's left are some gethits, specials, supers, etc...

hope you can appreciate it. and also:
tried an edit animation of Bryne.


Merry Christmas to all and God bless as always!

Oh my...! This was completely unexpected and I love what I'm seeing. Thank you for all your hard work and effort you put into those animations, Pin!

The details on Byrne's new idle animation is very impressive as well! He's my favourite character of S.H.A.D.E.S. tbh.

Wow.

I mean wow, Merry Christmas to me. Those sprites are beautiful. I love the design, the animations. How could I not use these? You basically did all the work for me! Looking at what you have here, all that's left are the rest of her gethits and her intros/taunt/winposes. I'm shocked someone would want to do something like this for one of my characters, spriting is such hard work.

That Byrne anim is super smooth and I love it. Gonna use it, too. Thank you.

Can you send these sprites in individual files to me via PM? I'd like to start implementing them right away. I'll have to redraw her portrait but who cares, worth it. What an awesome thing to wake up to on Christmas, I'm so hype!

Quick update for anyone still following this project!

I know I go a while without posting stuff here but just to let everyone know, even during these long gaps the game is always being worked on. So here's a progress update:

-Kamekaze has finished his side of the code for all the characters. From a gameplay perspective, the game is done and ready to go
-I'm going to leave Bloodtide as is for now, since these sprites were revealed to me at a point when the game was basically done
-Later on after I put the finished product out I may update Bloodtide with these amazing new sprites. If not they will be used in at least a standalone release of a non-canon Bloodtide
-I've changed The Monolith's name to The Megalith, I saw Diepod has a character for his game called Monolith and I recognize the design as a character he created waaaay before I had the idea to edit my Mr. X into a sub-boss so I changed it out of respect, his Monolith is cooler anyway
-What's being worked on now, all by myself, are the endings and the intro for the game. I've been working on these since the end of December and they are very time consuming, they require hand-drawing, scanning, coloring and coding, plus I suffered a setback when I dislocated a finger on my dominant hand at work which sucked.
-Since I couldn't really draw for about 2 weeks, I spent that time adding a lot of special intros to the game for characters that should have already had them (Fray vs Ruckus for example). The entire list of new special intros is in the spoiler
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
-I have 14 endings done, with 8 left, and then the game's intro, which is drawn but not scanned, colored or coded yet
-After that the game gets sent to Kamekaze one more time so he can optimize and then it will be out. I'm aiming for February

Here are some new screens in the meantime
