Alright then, I've got some more work done on Axel Gear, and I feel he's ready for a beta release.Please be sure to read the readme file inside the folder.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vizjomlt1g1 Final VersionPreview video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtBlH6E9bMAFeedback, suggestions are all welcome.
A walk animation needs to be sprited. Use Sparksters sprites for referance.More later.I'm gonna steal Cybaster's format.-Needs a standard small portrait. Or any portrait, for that matter. But you knew that. -Hell, it just needs more sprites in general. Four animations does not a good character make.-The base sprites have more then what you're using. Take advantage of that. Sheet you're using, includes some form of walk sprite./Sheet that involves him moving VIA Jet Pack. Will require some editing, but it'll help.Some ideas; due to the lack of sprites:-Sparkster as a helper.-Mech Boss from Stage 5 As a Hyper.-Giant Beam From Stage Six (while inside the floating mech) as a hyper.

Four animations does not a good character make.Yeah, the walk animation is one of the things I need to work on, that will be included in the next update.With the small portrait, I was having trouble getting one to work without getting weird colors.And yes, it does need more sprites, I admit. I will certainly work on getting more sprites.Edit: Thanks for the sprites, they'll come in great use.
Not bad, glad to see you decided to make Sparkster's rival. Can't wait to see how he shapes over the next updates.

downlading right now, feedback in a few.hes a pretty solid character my man, only found debug spam when you do his projectile super.
Luis Alejandro said, September 04, 2009, 03:59:45 amdownlading right now, feedback in a few.hes a pretty solid character my man, only found debug spam when you do his projectile super.Checking back at it, it's to do with the angledraw (I think) of the projectile super. I'll see what I can do to fix it.
I have to say, this is quite a vast improvement over the first beta you made. I love the supers, not to mention the helper. Great progress! I'd have to say he's ready for my VG-themed mugen now!

I can remove the hitsparks, no problem.If you meant colors by the laser beam, that's how the laser looked like in Rocket Knight Adventures.
Alright guys, third beta is out, and this time, Axel has AI!This is purely experimental as i've never handled AI before, so let me know how you think of the AI.More palettes are in this version too.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?illqnt2zix2You could say this is a pre-release to the final version.
Perhaps you should add some color seperation: Yellow eyes look a little odd.The Ai tends to spam the ground projectile; and it barely uses any hypers.I don't think I've ever seen it actually use a normal attack.But it's pretty damn good.

looks like an interesting char. i'll try him outalso, maybe you should edit the first post to include the latest version so people don't have to scroll down just to get it

Alright guys, this is the last update on Axel Gear for now, as I want to start focusing on making other characters. I changed a few things as well.QuoteWhat's different?-Altered Axel's Throw Immunity, so it doesn't override any NotHitBy's-When Axel recovers from his hit state, he has exactly 7 frames of invincibility left to counter attack-Added 2 seperate CNS and CMD files for Assist settings (See Assist Readme.txt for more details)-AI altered slightly-3 new palettesPalettesDownload Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mhfzjmmhj1tIf you have an older version, please update to this one, thanks.
You work incredibly fast.It's hard to find anything wrong with this update.Nice Char +1 because Cybaster comes in with 50 problems.
Navaldeus said, September 07, 2009, 03:32:47 amYou work incredibly fast.It's hard to find anything wrong with this update.Thanks for the comment. I was working on Axel as much as I could to make him just right. All the feedback was a great help as well
- Basic sword attacks X and Y can link between each other, so you can do an infinite : Maintain Forwards, press X Y X Y X Y X Y ...- Hitsparks for Energy Slash look misaligned.- I think Rising spin could get a little more CLSN priority . Having some infinite priority is okay here, since it's a special and an anti-air anyway.- Laser Blast would be nicer without any shadow on its FX. The beam would be nicer if we could see the opponent through it. Either use transparency, or if you want to do it old style, make it change sprite each tick or two : once it's the beam, once it's an empty sprite.- I cant perform Rocket Spin, and the CMD says it's only with X, while it should be with Y and Z too.It should look like that, with the "$" sign :[mcode][Command]name="Rocket Spin"command=~15$B, $F, $B, F, xtime=30[/mcode]It would be much more user friendly like that... and even like that I can't manage to perform it ???Other than that, it's a very fine release, and plays really well.

Thanks for the feedback . I'll look into these and fix them up.With Rocket Spin, I was able to perform it, but had to quickly press F, B, F, x after holding Back. I might change the command of this move to something simpler.

I might change the command of this move to something simpler.I usually have no problems performing this kind of commands, with chars such as Guile or Vega (M. Bison), so it must be a problem in your code concerning priority of the command or something like that.
Alrighty then. I've fixed up the issues mentioned, and I think it's all good to go now.Edit: Fixed a little mistake, where both CNS and CMD files didn't have Sparkster as an Assist.Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymltm2dm2foThe CLSN priority issue, I wasn't too sure about. So I'll be willing to fix that if it's still not too good.
I can now perform Rocket Spin correctly. One thing though. I think you should provide two versions of the character (just two CNS files in the archive), to propose a version with normal GetHit attributes. I see you coded it to be sort of accurate to the original game, where Axel gets "electrocuted" and set in a state where he's untouchable for a few ticks.While this is cool, it breaks the gameplay of all the other characters which would be relying on combos to deal damage to Axel, since they can basically deal only one hit before Axel going in his GetHit state. Proposing a normal version would make him blend better with other small characters and mix better in a "fighting game" system.

Luis Alejandro said, September 08, 2009, 05:49:10 pmGood look making all those hit sprite requirements lolIt should be an easy process, just need to make some custom sprites and apply them to the character. That's pretty much all.
Okay then, I got both Hit state and non Hit state versions done. Here's the download link, make sure to read the Style Readme.txt for changing settings.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yzy1ngzaqmyThe hit animations are the same sprite at the moment, i'll let you be the judge on if it's okay or not.
Thanks, he's WAY better now being able to combo him, great work.. but his "lose" sprite color is all messed up (like when he was electrocuted & you couldn't hit him) other then that he's fine.

I do like the Mega man effect or explosion idea above.
Explosion is indeed a nice idea.Axel can still be thrown while he's in the air, if the opponent has a air throw or puts an aerial opponent in whatever custom state (eg. Shin Gouki's air throw or Misogi). This results in Axel disappearing.

This results in Axel disappearing.I knew there was something I forgot Will release a patch in a few minutes.The lose animation I have planned may take longer, due to college slowing down my progress
The patch took longer than I expected, due to preparations for college tomorrow. But here it is:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nmfjkgtzzlnThis only applies to the Combo-able version, replace the current Const-1 and common1-1 files with the new ones.Trip state has been altered as well, as I have seemed to have forgot to edit it before this patch.
mkkay trying him out(btw college is such a bitch )idk if it did something wrong but.. nothing happens to axel when hes hit, hes unhittable? wtf..
Luis Alejandro said, September 10, 2009, 10:37:22 pmmkkay trying him out(btw college is such a bitch )idk if it did something wrong but.. nothing happens to axel when hes hit, hes unhittable? wtf..Hmmm..that's weird. So any attack goes straight through him? I'm sure the NotHitBy is set to AT. I'll check through.Edit: found the problem.Find this in Statedef -2Quote[State gethit]type = nothitbytrigger1 = 1value = SAC,ATRemove the SAC part. Keep the comma in.
thats not the problem dude, tho i think it is another loli accidently added const-1 to his states and constants directory, when it should just be to his constantsim trying him out right now ok hes comboable now but hes still missing required sprites:who is snorlax crushing lol?
Luis Alejandro said, September 10, 2009, 10:56:39 pmok hes comboable now but hes still missing required sprites:http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2772/snorl.pngwho is snorlax crushing lol?Thanks for showing me this, i'll get right on it. Next update should have both missing anims fixed, and new lose animations.
The patch for the lose animation and missing sprites is now ready.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zotuvyv0nozIf by any chance Axel gets into a throw state, I made sure he will work with it.Right now, it's set to Hit State settings, you'll need to change it to the combo-able version if you wish to choose that.
Axel Gear has been updated with a new intro.He soon appears from the darkness...Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zlanmxq4hmzThis has been added to all setting files, enjoy.
Forgot to add intro to const-1 settings http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymowhzzgimnPlease re-download.
Nice new intro. I see the sound file almost doubled its size because of the intro ! Concerning the lose animation, just an idea, but maybe you could make him fade out while he explods.Anyway, this character seems as perfect as it can be.

Thanks for the comment About the sound file, it's to do with converting the SNES music to WAV, Audacity doesn't seem to have an option to change to Mono (?).And about the lose animation, consider that done Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymzojomtz3iThe AI has also been updated, it will use the weak roll attack at a certain distance, randomly comboing into a special move whenever it can.
Alright, this could be the very last update of Axel Gear now. It's been fun making him, and I hope you'll enjoy the last update I have for him.Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vizjomlt1g1QuoteWhat's added?- Air A/B/C attacks that were missing- Ability to combo airial kicks- Added a Launcher, so you can pursuit the knocked up opponent- AI altered again, this time it's more aggresive- Intro has been made shorter. I felt it was too long- New Win animation- Can link Air X attack, into Heavy Air Kick- Smaller File SizeVideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5CB7m5zeCwEnjoy
