.................*snickers*

I can see why you discontinued him.

I think he sould be made in a appocalypse style, giant character with only the torso and a hand to smash, smash, smash!

i would also suggest Zuul and her dogs as an assist, many phrases from the movie would make great intros, like The form of the exterminator has been choosen!.

Now I think about it, it's a really good idea. But I wonder kind of ideas Stay Puft Marshmallow Man could have as attacks and such, since he's the size of a three-story house or more.

Also, I didn't think Stay Puft could throw fireballs (with skulls in them, nonetheless).

Hey nice!  Finally something from GhostBusters in Mugen!  There is a character in Mugen called "Burner" that reminds me in a way of Staypuft (not in appearance, but in the way he would fight) he comes with a rooftop graphic attached so each time you fight him it looks like you are on a roof and he grabs you and smashes you around in a way that Staypuft might.

Check out that character on Youtube or something for some ideas.  Also wasn't Slimer friends with Staypuft in the early cartoons at first?  Keep it up, I'll be watching to see how he turns out!

Oh and on some ideas for moves...well, he is sort of like a "ghost boss" maybe have some ghost enter the screen and do the attacks he normally wouldn't do..such as that skull thing you had him shooting out a while back ago.  This way it will make more sense then him doing all these strange moves.   You could even have a special move where proton streams from the ghostbusters come from off screen and burn Staypuft and he flings Ecto-1 at the opponents with a mean face like when he was getting burned by the streams.. just an idea.

looks really good from here, glad to see u havnt lost it again lol keep it up 

Ah cool, you are back...looking good keep up the good work.

giant stay puft is definately better than normal-sized stay puft. good luck with this project

Hey nice work so far!

This is the kind of stuff I like.  I've just started making stuff for mugen to so I know the pain you are going thru. Keep it up, you'll get there in the end. I agree with everything else said thus far in the thread also. Great idea to make him a giant char.

Also I need comments on how to make this yo-yo look more believable as if it is rolling on the ground.

hmmmm, well the spinning motion works. It could be improved (maybe give it a vertical spin shadow?) Also, how are you hoping the animation to be used? Is it a move? Does he drop it? ect. ect. I think if you added the string for directional refference that might help also.

yep, good luck.

Hold on...That fireball looks...unavoidable. Maybe it could be a small fireball decending downward and tilted with the AngleDraw controller, just a suggestion.

but his front legs look okay, unless I missed something. Overall, they still need some tweaking, so that's what I'll be doing for the next couple of days. Who knew animating terror dogs would result in one studying the animal anatomy and how it works?:/


I'll keep you guys updated if I make any more improvements, until then, have a very good weekened.

i'm just noticing right now that the "Stay Puft" words in his hat are backwards when he faces the other way, i'm pretty sure that's fixable

There probably is a way, but none that I know of. It would be neat, but if any body can help out with that (or figure a way to have the words read the right way), than I will really will appreciate it and credit will be given.

YOU NEED TO

 - Have the text drawn both ways. It won't show right just because of Magic
 - When coding this in Mugen, you need to make the text A HELPER that changes depending on where he's facing.

Dont forget you need to make a player two side for the text. If you look at his cap youll noticed that the words are in reverse.

Don't worry about it for now DDE, i'll fix it for you when you have all the sprites.  Easy fix.

Is the Ash edit in this picture public? Because it looks really good.

Since you're spriting what seems to be a VERY large character, you must know - the larger the area to cover, the more colors you'll need to provide Depth to the sprite. So far you're using like 6 colors for his whites, but they're used all over the place as antialiasing (and not exactly the right way in some cases), but you should make use of maybe a secondary light source in such a large model, or just use one or 2 more shades of colors.

Maybe if you post a source resolution sprite, instead of a double-res screenshot, I can show you what I mean. In any case, look at Apocalypse and Onslaught for reference on secondary or more dramatic extra lightsources, and how many shades you should use for each color/tone.

( also if you need or want any help spriting some of your helper characters (ghosts, slimer ect.) i would like to help you do some. I'm *HC spriting at the moment, got my groove on max and I really want to see you finish this character because #1 I want him on my roster #2 He's just plain cool.  It's up to you. Keep up the good work DDE!

Here you go, I was planning on adding more colors to him later...
