Title: Ragna the Bloodedge v1.12
Post by: OHMSBY on September 26, 2018, 05:16:10 pm
Hello everyone,

Ragna the Bloodedge is complete. Like my other characters, he uses a custom gameplay style that is largely based on his Cross Tag moveset, and he also has a few of his old moves.

Get Ragna here:

As always, there is a poll for next character. There have been a lot of instances while working on Ragna where I thought to myself "you know, this character could be fun to work on", so there are a lot of choices this time around. Vote here:
Mai has won the poll. Thank you for voting.

As always, have fun.

I haven't played with him for very long but the first thing I've noticed is that his main bnb from Tag is impossible.  Since your character has normal walking rather than the automatic dash, you can accomplish this by making dead spike dash cancellable as it is in BB.

As far as gameplay goes, the momentum on Gauntlet Hades and Bloodscythe just feel wrong. They both suddenly accelerate.

As far as graphics go, they need a lot of work. The most glaring examples are Hell's Fang's first part and Carnage Scizzors (which is also missing the spark for the first hit). The effects are too small and they don't create a trail (this one applies more to Hell's Fang). Dead Spike B and EX also need adjustments. The former needs to have the last 2 sprites increased in size (some BB effects sprites are much smaller than they show up in the game, including the moving Dead Spike and Hazama's green energy snakes).
Some throws use wrong sprites, including Devoured by Darkness. You should use 5062,0 since that one grabs the enemy by their head.

Black Onslaught feels...empty. The lack of those orbs, extra hits before the final strike and the extra hit effect on the final strike itself make it look underwhelming.

On the subject of gauntlet hades if you try to use it during a midscreen combo Ragna will cross the opponent up after the followup because of the excessive forward momentum.

Ooh, I haven't even thought about bringing back his dash cancel. I'll have to try that out.

Feedback.

Duly noted on the Gauntlet Hades and Blood Scythe momentum, I will make some adjustments.

As for the graphics and effects, I want to keep the file sizes for my characters relatively low, which is why I've been trying to hold back on them. Although, I do agree that Black Onslaught could use some sprucing up.

I think you can keep it low without cutting too much. You could probably use a bunch of small effects in addition to what you already have to make things look better. But most of the problems I've mentioned regarding the effects can be fixed without touching the sprites.

True. I'll make some adjustments to these as well.

 May seem nitpicky on my part, but noticed that your characters use p2stateno in hitdefs instead of targetstate to send an opponent into custom states. If attacks ever clash, the fighters will end up inheriting each others states and nasty bugs can occur. It's a bigger deal than it may sound and would be a good idea to switch over to targetstating instead.
Title: Re: Ragna the Bloodedge
Post by: Mr. Giang on September 27, 2018, 03:46:59 am
Small problem: It seems that Ragna's throw isn't techable. I have never played BBCTB before so is it a thing from that game? Or you just forgot to code it?
Title: Re: Ragna the Bloodedge
Post by: ZolidSone on September 27, 2018, 03:50:35 am
Great work on Ragna. Here's my feedback after a few minutes of testing:

-The third hit of his standing B attack doesn't have a hitspark.
-If you stop dashing then jump right after the slide, the sliding fx moves along with the character (This is a shared issue with Ruby, Yang, and Mika and I didn't know about it until now as it was more noticeable on Ragna).
-Nightmare Edge is missing the sound fx where he lands on the ground (Not sure if it's intentional, but it kinda has less impact do to the attack's speed and that he lands on his legs).
-The landing sound effect on the jumping C move doesn't play if it hits (Or maybe it does, but it cuts off due to the hit sounds).
-Devored by Darkness doesn't have hitsparks during the hits of the grab (I still don't have Cross Tag Battle yet, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to).
-For Ruby's special intro with Ragna, you should add dust fx and sparkles like in the Cross Tag Battle game. Also, make Ruby move one more time so she stops right when she finishes talking.

That's all for now.

Another feedback regarding the next character poll. It's great to have them for your next WIPs, but the more you keep adding new characters that weren't present in the last one, the more I feel like Gordeau will get shafted again. It makes me less wanting to vote for him as the new additions feels way more appealing than him. Now you added Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax as a choice of WIPs, I feel more excited to see your take on Kuroko over Gordeau. Just saying since you had him since the first poll and he's always 2nd place, getting beaten by someone who just got added in the new poll. I do hope you get around him eventually.

You know, throughout the whole time I've using Mugen, I don't think I have ever seen anything like this happen. You learn something new every day.

Small problem: It seems that Ragna's throw isn't techable. I have never played BBCTB before so is it a thing from that game? Or you just forgot to code it?

This gameplay style isn't meant to be an exact replica of Cross Tag. There is throw teching in that game, but here, I intentionally made the throws more akin to that of Guilty Gear X2, where there is no throw teching.

-The third hit of his standing B attack doesn't have a hitspark.
-If you stop dashing then jump right after the slide, the sliding fx moves along with the character (This is a shared issue with Ruby, Yang, and Mika and I didn't know about it until now as it was more noticeable on Ragna).
-Nightmare Edge is missing the sound fx where he lands on the ground (Not sure if it's intentional, but it kinda has less impact do to the attack's speed and that he lands on his legs).

-For Ruby's special intro with Ragna, you should add dust fx and sparkles like in the Cross Tag Battle game. Also, make Ruby move one more time so she stops right when she finishes talking.

- I accidentally assigned a spark that doesn't even exist to the hitdef. This will be fixed.
- Good catch. Fortunately, this shouldn't be too hard to fix.
- I gave that move a ground slam sound effect, and I thought that would suffice. I just tried it with the regular land sound effect to go along with it, and it does sound better.
- After using it over and over to hear for myself, it seems that it just gets drained out by the other sound effects
- In Cross Tag, its just the slash effects, although I put them behind the claw as opposed to in front like in the game. I may mess around with it more.
- Noted.

Quick fun fact: I was actually prepared to start working on Gordeau after Ruby before Gladiacloud asked about another poll. I hope to eventually get around to him as well. Also, I don't think I'll be adding any more options to the next poll.

 Personally, at the rate Gordeau's been shafted to second place in every poll, I think he should be made as the next guaranteed character after whoever wins this one since I feel he could catch a break for once.

Ragna has just been updated, go ahead and redownload him.

Quote
- A and B versions of Dead Spike can now be dash canceled like in previous Blazblue titles. Running attacks can also be used during this dash.
- Adjusted the momentum on Gauntlet Hades and Blood Scythe
- Adjusted the launch trajectory on the follow up for Gauntlet Hades
- B Version of Dead Spike is smaller, but it also moves forward now
- Increased the size of the effects for EX Deadspike and it's follow up as well as their hitboxes
- Changed some of the grabbed animations
- Fixed a bug where the dust from sliding after a run would follow Ragna while jumping
- Fixed a bug where Ragna would regain meter during his force breaks
- Added a landing sound to Nightmare Edge
- During Devoured by Darkness, the slash effects now show up in front of the claw as opposed to behind
- Made some of the effects look nicer
- Spruced up Black Onslaught a bit

You still have not fixed Hell's Fang and Carnage Scissors's effects. They are still too small. For a comparison:
(https://i.imgur.com/bv9Sbde.jpg)
Once again, you should not set the size of all effects to be 1 (or 0.315 if you want to be precise). Some are scaled to be much larger in the game than they actually are.
Also, the Astral Finish victory animation should use the one where he swings his arm instead of his sword, but that is more of an accuracy thing.

Ground Gauntlet Hades is supposed to be a overhead move to hit people who are blocking low.

However, the ground version of Gauntlet Hades moves Ragna up so much that against some characters low blocking, you literally fly over them without hitting them.

I just have a quick question, do your chars use their own hitsparks or the default? Because they all have RLY lacking hitsparks, so tiny and lack any impact. I feel like im just tapping enemies with little to no force.

- Increased the amount of time before Ragna reagins control after air dashing
- Reduced the height Ragna goes up during the ground versoin of Gauntlet Hades
- Gauntlet Hades is now an overhead, as it should've been (How did I miss this?)

Also, this is the last day of the poll. So get your last minute votes in if you haven't already.

I have been working on something you might like. Only 1 effect has been added (special hitspark when the enemy is hit with Soul Eater attacks) along with some coding, but I think it improves a lot of moves he has. Black Onslaught probably benefits the most from those graphical changes and different hit sounds.

I also added the rose petals blown by the wind for Ruby's full screen DD using the effects already present in her files, but that is for another thread

I repeat: OHMSBY, if he wanted to, he could create all the characters in Blazblue. With the help of Susanoo, it would be even better.

But of course I do not want to force him.

I really like what I see here. It adds more to Black Onslaught without adding too much to the file size. Would you mind sending me that special hit spark?

Was it intentional for Ragna's base combo (mainly his sword attacks) to have little to no SFX when making contact? His first hit has the typical hit SFX but the rest basically don't, all you hear are the swings.

I hear the swings and the hits just fine. It might be something on your end.


I am not sure if it happens with the rest of your characters, but Ragna's turning animations are not flipped. The last frame should always face right.
Also, Ragna really looks better with colors matching his art

- Devoured by Darkness now absorbs less health when used during a combo
- Fixed Ragna's turning animations
- Included Takehaya Susanoo's Palette based on Ragna's official artwork

Mai is the winner this time. She's actually my main in Central Fiction, so I'm pretty excited about this.

Unfortunately, I cannot. Trying to run Mugen in openGL mode simply results in a black screen for me.

Is it just me or is the timing to do the follow-up to Hell's fang kinda weird.
Like it's too slow or something....is this how it is in cross-tag?

It's actually a little more lenient in Cross Tag, but I ended up making it more accurate to how it is in previous games. I'm going to fix it to be more accurate to the timing in Cross Tag.

although some animations are half rare

I'm going to be honest, I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Would you mind elaborating?

This is actually something I already knew about, I didn't know how to fix it until now.

It turns out that I accidentally gave one of the custom states the same state number as the continue state.

Anyway, Ragna has been updated with the fix, so you can go ahead and redownload him.

I like your chars, Susanoo, Izanami and Terumi are the best and my favorites in blazblue, when talking of villains. But Ragna is really an amacing character, if you like to create a Ragna, you have my suport. I don't have any problems with him being really strong

The one by ron_ti_chu I think. You can tell it's the right one by looking at ther sprites, which look a little blurry due to not being direct sprite rips. She is also around 160MB unpacked, but it is the best version of Noel available.

I have been wondering...How long does it usually take you to finish these characters? With or without taking breaks.

Without taking breaks into consideration, I'd say about a week to a week and a half. 2 weeks at most.

Although with Mai, it will probably take a little longer since I'm still trying to figure out how to get Gallia Sphyras to work properly.

Right now, the biggest issue is getting it to properly track the opponent after the direction change, I haven't run into any problems with hitboxes just yet.

If I don't get it figured out soon, then I'll ask about it in the development help section.

I initially didn't see this as that big of an issue. But yeah, Yang probably should've been hit by that attack there.

Alongside the bug Manby mentioned, you might also want to take a look at the Devoured by Darkness super again. I compared it to your other characters and I'm beginning to think it does too much damage for a level 1 distortion drive. It almost does half of the opponent's health if it successfully hits. Damage values seems to be inconsistent as some of your characters do less while some do more.

Also, this 2nd issue applies with all your characters. I've been playing arcade mode and just realized they lose all of their meter when a new round starts. Is this intentional? I do know that Blazblue Cross Tag Battle has no rounds, but it sucks if you want to save up meter for the next round and then losing it all, having to build it up all over again. It feels kinda tedious and I hope you can adjust this.

That is how it works in normal BB games. All meter and character-specific gauges are reset between rounds except for Overdrive (e.g. Susano'o's unlocked specials are locked again, etc), which is not refilled if it's emptied in the previous round.

Devoured by Darkness does deal too much damage. I am getting Calamity Trigger flashbacks here. It should be lowered to at least 320.

Along with what Susanoo said, this is not just in Blazblue games, but most other Arc System Works games as well. This is meant to encourage the player to go all out in each round rather than be conservative.

 I've noticed that Ragna can combo into his unblockable moves, even during blockstrings. At first, I thought it's just the AI doing it, but Mr. Fael tested it out for himself and the player can do it too. May want to make a separate hitdef that is blockable or make the hitdef miss whenever the opponent is in guard states so that the unblockable moves don't become too cheap.

Title: Re: Ragna the Bloodedge v1.04 (AI Patch now available)
Post by: Nep Heart on December 27, 2018, 10:06:11 pm
 Sadly, that's just how it works. Altering parameters would throw off an AI, but Holn seems to make a completely separate CNS, so... it might actually still work even if it's using the outdated version of Ragna (I've noticed that the AI's life drain is super high when it executes it while the player controlled use of those moves are not nearly as much, indicating separate CNS files for player and AI). I'm still not that incredibly knowledgeable on AI to fully understand their limitations however.

 It's why I don't really want any of my stuff to get AI patches too soon, I regularly update my own characters enough that I'd rather leave an AI patch much later down the line because every single MUGEN coder ever makes mistakes including myself.

It's update time.

This update addresses the Issue highlighted by Nep Heart (Thanks for pointing that out Nep) and also adds a special intro and a special win pose against Terumi, who should be released fairly soon. Go ahead and redownload Ragna.

Quote
- Added special interactions with Terumi. Japanese voice has also been updated to reflect this
- Adjusted the frame data on Ragna's normals
- The first hit of 5AAA, Hell's Fang, and both follow ups from EX Dead Spike are now air blockable
- 5B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 66A, and 66B are now air blockable when used during a block string



But Nep Heart If Ohmsby wants to update Ragna does this mean Holn AI patch won't be compatible anymore?

As Nep Heart said, the AI patch uses its own set of cns files, as well as its own air and cmd. Ragna will still work fine if you apply the AI patch as it is now, but you would essentially revert Ragna back to an earlier version (version 1.04 in this case). Holn has been good about keeping his AI patches up to date though, so I don't think it will take him too long to catch up.

Quote
- Upgraded to Nep Heart's Burst system (Ragna can now burst during custom states, but not during throws and supers)
- All attacks now deal extra damage on counter hit
- 5C now only causes the opponent to stagger on counter hit. Otherwise, it causes a hard knockdown
- Opponent stays in the stagger state a little longer and moves slower during it
- Blood Scythe now causes a hard knockdown when used again in the same combo
- New slash sounds, Japanese .snd has also been updated
- Counter message now shows up when countering with Dead Spike

It's time for the Ultra Burst update. Go ahead and download Ragna Again.

Quote
- New system mechanic: Ultra Burst. Burst can now be used in a neutral state, and doing so will put Ragna 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 instantly
The 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 Ragna'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 astral heat BG
- New Cut in for Astral Heat
- Revised Burst System
- Realigned aerial sprites
- General improvements for effects
- Ragna now makes use of custom fall states, bypassing fall.defence_up
- Changed animation for running grab, also it can now be canceled into Carnage Scissors, Devoured by Darkness or Black Onslaught
- Dead spike B now has longer startup than Dead spike A
- Adjusted hitboxes for 5A and Inferno divider so they can hit smaller opponents more consistently
- Expanded Hitboxes for Devoured by Darkness and Black Onslaught downward
- Axe Kick now puts the opponent in a custom state that prevents them from recovering too early after hitting the ground
- Implemented incremental cornerpush and hitstun decay
- After a successful Burst, none of Ragna's attacks will connect until the opponent has recovered
- Fixed an error where Ragna could Rapid Cancel his Burst
- Changed scale from .315,.315 to .33,.33
- Added AI
- Added special intro against Jin Kisaragi
- Japanese voice now uses Ragna's voice clips from BBTAG
- For the sake of lowering the file size, the Japanese voice is now a separate download, which is available here:
