So, over in the Full Game section, you may have noticed a little project gaining steam, MFG Presents Street Fighter. I asked JNP if he thought there might be some interest in maybe crowd funding a sprite set for an update of Street Fighter 1's Joe. We discuss it at length HERE (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.1945767).
There have been some interesting ideas being thrown around, but the general consensus is that Joe would be a bit of a Tyler Durden type, a pit fighter who maybe has a screw loose but is otherwise an average guy. He would have a mix of some Kickboxing (based on his original character bio) and some rough street fighting/MMA type stuff. The moveset hasn't been fully fleshed out yet, but we'll get there. As we iron out more details, I'll add them here.
The above sprite is my take on him with a few different design concepts. I prefer the mechanic's shirt, but some others prefer the hoodie or shirtless design. We can discuss that here as well.
Anyone who is willing to donate, let me know in this thread, and I'll keep a tally that I will update regularly. Don't send money until we know we'll have enough, and in the same vein, please don't say you'll donate if you can't (though unexpected changes in income are understandable). Please specify how much you can donate so the tally can be accurate.
My goal is $350. If that seems cheap for a whole sprite set, it's because I have had some passing interest in Joe in the past. If that seems expensive, well, you have no idea how much work goes into spriting. :P
If you have no interest in donating, that's fine, you can still discuss the character and other things like that here, but let's try to keep it on topic.
Here's some art of the character's original appearance in SF1, for comparison's sake.

Loved Original or Shirt. It looks like a very viable design that I'd love to see re-incorporate into the SF mythos.
Sean in the other thread said:
If you look at the way Adon, Birdie, and Joe were updated for later games, it was never just a straight respriting or anything. Their designs got extra details, flourishes, and exaggerations.
I didn't perceive it that way. In the vein of SF4 ("back to basic") he should be shirtless though, to keep it simple and sticking to SF canon so he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, since for the most part the SF1 designs have been largely unchanged (Gen was barely changed, I see no changes in Adon, Eagle unchanged too)
I can't guarantee this, but I'm sure I could donate $20 (just gotta get a Paypal up and running, with my goddamn phobia of electronic commerce and providing vital sensitive information through the internets)

Post by: Sean Altly on April 24, 2014, 12:26:56 am
@Walt
Eagle got gloves, his bowtie was changed to an open collar and an ascot. Adon's hair was exaggerated more, and he got hand wraps (though he has the wraps in his artwork, but not on the sprites). Birdie doesn't even look like the same character. Gen's changes are admittedly very minor, but the added sash and more exaggerated beard (not to mention the longer hair and hat added in SF4) definitely fall into the category of "extra details, flourishes, and exaggerations." Considering Cody was going to be Joe, that would have been a major design change. I don't think adding an open shirt would make him stick out like a sore thumb, and I honestly wasn't a big fan of SF4's "back to basics" approach anyway.
@JNP
While I like the shirt better, if enough people insist I'll definitely stick to shirtless. Way easier to animate for me.

Just one more thing - I think his face could use a bit more light, and most of the art pieces I've seen of him have him smirking or outright smiling, so... I dunno
Still, the on one leg then the other though. He just bounces on both. Combine the current Joe stance with Vanessa leg movement (at a slower swaying pace) and Strowd's stance.

The smile fits the character. I'm not sure about the forehead lighting edit you did though, doesn't the hair cast a shadow that covers his face? Maybe it's just me, but I would have kept SeanAltly's shading (I'm just talking about the face).
Well, Sean said it himself (:ninja:).

Maybe considering the style as far as ideas, it may be good to compile a list of users of the same sort of fight style, as far as Street Fighting goes, I immediately think of Miguel/Bruce from Tekken, but I don't know if many of their moves would translate well into Joe. I guess the nice thing is since the original characters had a fairly limited move set you can take a fair bit of creative liberty with some aspects of him. Good luck though man, I'd certainly contribute or donate if I had the money, perhaps as work picks up now that I'm finished school.
Also...if you haven't seen it it may help to work some ideas out with the guys in the topic below http://mugenguild.com/forum/boardseen./topics/joe-mike-lee-retsu-geki-139549.msg1950167.html#new

I was actually just going through some of Gai's animations for possible bases, good call.
I updated the tally in the first post. As you can see, as of right now, we're above goal. If you guys all want to donate that amount, I could include other things for the extra amount, such as animations not required for the MFG Street Fighter project. For example: power charge, running animation (the project uses dashes mainly), standing dodge, special intros, focus attack, etc. (feel free too suggest some others I might be forgetting).
That's just an idea and if you guys would rather stick to the $350 goal, that's fine as well. Thoughts?

One more thing about the fighting style. Maybe look at that boxer guy from Big Bang Beat. He looks like a brawler, and the arm position on the stance might give you good results for transition-back-to-stance

I mentioned Retsu, not Geki. I'm not sure I want to take on that much right now, but I wouldn't rule it out if the funding was there.
@Mr. Karate
The goal has been met, but I certainly wouldn't turn down more donations. The more I get, the easier it will be for me to work on the sprites because I won't be so strapped, and I'll also add more animations if I get more than the goal amount.
On that note, I guess we should discuss actually making the payments. You can use the Donate button on my MFG site (http://www.mugenguild.com/seanaltly), or send it directly through paypal at ohmycannoli@netscape.net. $350 will get the MFG project spriteset, which includes all attacks, basic actions, and animations for that game's mechanics. Depending on how much more I receive (if any), I'll determine what's extra.
Let me know if you can or can't pay, or if you'll have to wait to send the money or something like that.

I also meant to say Sean, it's good to hear from you since the last post I recall reading of yours was from that rough patch you hit, I assume things are back to normal.
I was going to suggest something, but I wasn't sure if it was the best idea, his current stance appears much like a boxer, and when I think of street fighting, it brings me back to the days of Def Jam Fight For NY, and I recall the style being much more focused on heavy hitting punches, what if you gave him a treatment like Gen, where he had a stance change possibility? Maybe one stance could be all punch focused and the other being all kicks, to emphasize each style he uses, or at least some sort of ready stance that would chain into other moves, similar to Jin's zenshin stance in tekken.

Post by: Sean Altly on April 25, 2014, 08:31:05 am
Updated the first post with a Donations Pledged and a Donations Received section, just to keep track.
So I think Iced and I were in agreement with the concept of the Ghost Step. Right now I have three follow ups planned. The first is Pop-Up Knee (working name), which is very close ranged but pops the opponent up for a juggle (one or two hits max). The second is Scythe Kick, a spinning kick to the mid section that has good range and speed and knocks the opponent down. The third is Slash Elbow, where Joe fakes low and then does a downward moving elbow slash. It would have a lot of start-up but would be an overhead.
To go with that I imagined a move called Ghost Fade, which is a backwards moving version, with either the same follow ups or a set of different ones, still deciding.
Another special I had planned is Screaming Elbow, which is a jumping elbow slash that would act as sort of his version of Jaguar Kick. Different strengths would give him different distances with different arcs.
I also thought about lifting that nasty knee attack that Bryan Fury has in SFxT, the one that looks a bit like a Tiger Knee, but when it hits he drives them down with his knee. There could also be a follow up by pressing D,D+P or K and he'd add a ground pound or a stomp, to show his violent side.
He may need an anti-air special, or he could just have a normal or command normal that has nice priority and could be his go-to anti-air. I say this because I'm having a hard time coming up with an anti-air special that isn't a standard DP-type move, rising knee, or something like that.
His 3 supers should all have very different uses, and I liked most of Iced's ideas for them, especially Driving Up the Stakes (though I think a name change is in order, maybe "Happy Hour" or something like that), where he drinks a beer or takes a hit off of a bottle of liquor and gets trailing after-images or a strength boost, something like that. Suggestions here are welcome, but given Capcom's penchant for doing this themselves, I don't think it would be a bad idea to make one of them an auto-combo type deal, or at least something that uses existing animations from other moves.
Maybe a combination of Iced's other two ideas could work, he does the Bryan Fury knee smash move, drives them down, and then jumps and repels off the wall, doing a huge elbow drop (Giving Up the Ghost is a good name for this, IMO).

Post by: XANDERAC on April 25, 2014, 03:36:49 pm
I think in retrospect after reading how you want this to function, perhaps making it work similar to Lee's "hitman step" might help. Then similar to how you discussed, one could be a sweep/trip move, and the other 2 could function like a high kick/anti-air with the last perhaps having the ability to knock the opponent away/wall bounce.
Being able to cancel out of this into other things would be a pretty good idea just to change up his game when needed. As another idea for an anti air, why not just give him a diagonal haymaker, or a double hook/left-right punch combo. You could even just make that a special where his shoryuken combo can do this move, but maybe light does 1 punch, 2 does the double hook, and 3 does the double hook, ending in the haymaker.

Okay, with the donation I still owe and the money Judas will contribute that will put us at $385. If no one else fulfills their pledge. What is the stretch goal to get the rest of the CVS2 and some of the more used custom animations finished?
How much assistance do you wish for to get ideas for basics, Sean? Keeping the basics more on the average/kick boxer side is probably the best. I think he should have 1 or 2 target combos as well. F+LP, MP, SP could be a slightly advancing fast combo similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_ldpipWK4sQ#t=77 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_ldpipWK4sQ#t=77)
I assume you'll be converting all his attacks from SF1 and StreetWise? Do I need to locate videos of his attacks in streetwise?
I'll start trying to submit command basics, specials, and supers. Going to try Iced's MSPaint approach to render them for you.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Character for MFG's Street Fighter project (Seeking Donations!)
Post by: Sean Altly on April 29, 2014, 09:20:19 pm
Not sure on an exact number, but $385 will at least get the power charge and sidestep, maybe the run as well.
For his basics, I'd generally like some freedom on those. I'll do my best to give him equivalents of his SF1 moves, most importantly the spin kick. Otherwise he looks like he has pretty basic kickboxing-type normals in SF1. Some videos of all his attacks from Streetwise would be nice, but not vital since it's still possible that's not Joe.
I also wanted to be clear that I'm not going to be coding him. I'll compile an .sff and an .air as I sprite him, because it's part of my process for making sure anims look nice and well aligned, but beyond that I'm sure you have coders for your project.

The shirt made me think he works at a bowling alley. I like the hooded design, but the simple shirtless one makes the most sense.
An idea I had for a follow up to Ghost Step (or Fade) is Sweep the Leg. After the dash, Joe would do a low spin kick aimed at the lower leg. The attack would come out moderately fast, but have long recovery as it's a low hitting knockdown attack. Got the idea from Jimmy Zappa from Capoeira Fighter 3. It's done in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4P8zAr7DwE) a few times, literally the third attack he does. I don't know if it should pop up like in that game or just sweep. That would make his mix up options excellent.

Post by: walt on April 30, 2014, 09:21:09 pm
If he won't have projectiles, it only makes sense he has other kind of options.
When I read your post ^ at first, I thought you meant a slide kick (like Dhalsim, Rose, Cody or DeeJay) which would also make sense for evading Hadoukens in my opinion :beam:

Post by: Sean Altly on April 30, 2014, 10:20:58 pm
@Buckus
Hmmm, it's a good idea, but would that give him too many options? If I include that, he'd have an overhead AND a low hitting attack. The overhead would have a lot of start-up and the low-hitting attack would have a lot of recovery, but is that OP? Or should he only have one of those? His Screaming Elbow attack I mentioned could be an overhead and thi low spin kick could just replace the overhead follow-up.
@Walt
Good idea. I agree, a slide kick would help him.
@Slenderman
No problem, hopefully some of the other people who pledged come through. No rush right now or anything, it will be over a week before JNP can send the rest of his anyway.

Post by: JustNoPoint on April 30, 2014, 10:35:07 pm
I don't think it'd be too OP but I think we need to hold off on coming up with most of his specials till he get all his basics figured out. Guy and El Fuerte have moves sort of like that. Also in our version he'll have some moves that injure himself if he misses (and some that injure if they connect) so he may need something to help get around that.

This is exactly Jin Kazama, Lunging Low Roundhouse Kick and Spinning Flare Kick. The OH can even follow the low sweep. SFxTK kept that. (Jin is very mix-up heavy in general, though, like a bunch of other Tekken characters - he even has a "Target Combo" that starts with an overhead and ends with a low sweep)
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Character for MFG's Street Fighter project (Seeking Donations!)
Post by: Sean Altly on April 30, 2014, 11:04:03 pm
@JNP
He's going to have pretty normal kickboxing moves. If you look at his SF1 sprites, you can actually see all 6 of his standing normals.
LP - Right Jab MP - Left Straight HP - Step In Straight <--- This can be changed, looks more like a karate move to me, maybe a step in elbow LK - Low/Shin Kick MK - High Kick HK - High Spinning Roundhouse
For his crouching basics, I was thinking:
LP - Right jab (this helps with animations as the upper body from the st.LP can be reused) MP - The kidney punch-type move in his SF1 spriteset HP - Uppercut Elbow, like Gill/Urien/Abel's cr.HP LK - Left shin kick, good for pokes MK - Slower, stronger version of LK (saves on animation, Capcom does this all the time) HK - Sweep
Aerial Normals
LP - Elbow, comes out quick, stays active for a long time MP - Downward Punch HP - Spinning Elbow, hard to describe but I have a clear picture in my head LK - Knee, would sort of look like a Tiger Knee, could have a high hitbox, good for intercepting people mid air MK - Left kick, would be his go to for cross-ups HK - Here I would re-use the crack kick animation because it would be a good, strong air normal and would help with the work load
Command Normals
F+HK - Crack Kick F+MP - Overhead elbow, slow moving, like Ryu's collarbone breaker F+LP - Elbow strike, then F+MP - F+HP for a target combo of alternating elbow strikes, like JNP suggested earlier DF+HK - Sliding kick, would probably model it after Joe Higashi's. Alternately it could be DF+HP, and could be a sliding punch ala Vanessa.
I think overall his normals would be nice mid-range, moderately damaging moves, to fit his size and style. Feel free to make suggestions.
@Byakko
Oh yeah, that makes sense, I kind of forgot he has both in that game. I haven't played it in a while.

I'm pretty sure either Joe or Hwa Jai in KOF XIII could have something better you could use for better variety (Maybe even Adon) with Air Knees where you see the character from the front :D

Post by: JustNoPoint on May 01, 2014, 01:08:21 am
Keep his "high crouch" from SF1. Except make it so that he plants one hand on the ground straight in front of him. Making his arm pretty straight so he can use it to propel his attacks.
For his slide kick he could do something a tad more unique than the normal slide. Have him spin ala sidestep spinning sweep kick using his arm to propel his momentum. The arm stance could help him in all the ducking attacks you mentioned when applicable.

Man, Ghost sucks. This is the only video I can find where he gets to fight back a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=u6u5JLCMI28#t=775
Quote
GHOST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attacks: 1) Elbow Strike: Unblockable. Ghost does it once in a while. 2) Low Kick: Unblockable. Ghost kicks your legs so you can't block. 3) High Kick: Blockable. You're most likely to see it one to four times during a fight. 4) Grab: Unblockable. Ghost grabs you and proceeds to punish you with a series of knee strikes.
Ghost has good attack, backed up by above-average speed. He moves faster than other pit-fighters, and is quite difficult to track with all the dodging. Ghost will try to come closer to you whenever you try to regain some breath, but once he gets in front of you, he will perform some moves and dodge to one of the sides, making him annoying to hit with combos starting with Strong button.
You should try to throw a few jabs to stop him, then grab and throw. His attacks don't give that wide of an opening window for you, but you can always block and counter. Specially his High Kick, which comes quite often, is easy to spot and counter at the exact time.

Def hyped to see this guy come back. Also I did have an idea for the special move section of ol' Joe.
Perhaps he could have some kind of mixup turn? Like you could have one input put you into the turn, then you could hit buttons to get different moves? Or maybe even keep inputting it for some kind of mixup rekka thing! It'd be sweet!

I think you should consider f+MK as a moving forward knee thrust that would make the character more pressuring maybe making an elbow strike as starter for a chain combo (f+LP> f+MK> HP or HK or slide) would be a good implementation to his moveset too

Yes, high duck. It will have deceptively low hit box =D
His body on his walking anims look a bit static. I'm not a pro so it might look fine in game.
I asked Sean to post these as he completes them. This way we can color separate them as they are finished. Someone get us a template going!

They look better in game. His walk is based on Gai's from KoFXI. (http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/ohmystromboli/GaiWalk_zps77c386f2.gif) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/ohmystromboli/media/GaiWalk_zps77c386f2.gif.html) I guess the torso could shift a little bit, I'll work on it, but I think they look fine for the most part.
I'm trying not to base everything on Joe(KoF/CVS), even though it would be super easy to.

It's the stiff body that makes it look weird. Besides that, everything looks great. The hop can also be unintentional homage to SF1 because that's how he moved in that game (there were no walking anims, just small hops).
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!

It's great! But... You know... I already have a project of Joe with David_Bazbar's sprites, and it's really different drawing style. I need sprites, but not in your style. Anyway, thanks for open to use them. Your team's sprites are AWESOME!!!! And maybe I'll use them in the future. But now...

The reply was meant for anyone that wants to use them :p ShinZankuro asked if he could make Joe in versus style.
Anyway, if you see anything that could assist your Joe, feel free to edit the sprites to the style you desire. MFG Street Fighter project is to aid developers 1st and become a game as its secondary goal.
Btw the walk anim looks much better with the tweak Sean. Jump looks good too. I think for his walk back animation you might should turn his head a bit more to the side. It's exactly the same in both walks and standing and that will look a bit odd.

Was the belt CS'd as well? I was going to recommend that and maybe adding an extra bit of separation on the pants...though I'm not sure if it would be best at the knees, or to separate from the vertical line where the stitching is visible on his left leg/artists' right
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on May 28, 2014, 03:34:55 pm
Belt is separated. I removed the outlines of the muscle shirt and sleeves. Didn't look well in practice and would have over complicated making palettes for him.
What kind of pants separation do you think he needs? Doesn't seem like separating pants would present you with a lot of neat options.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: XANDERAC on May 28, 2014, 05:19:22 pm
I just figured it'd be best to have a bit more options than just the one solid colour, so I think the division where the stitching is might be at least interesting to try out, so that people can try maybe giving him a look with shorts or just simply another option.
If you did separate it at the seam though people could experiment with colours a bit more, and...though it won't always be visible it is a potential option Below is just a photo I found online of what I kinda mean.
1st image is the flat colors I used before reducing their transparency by 50% in case others prefer to help with that method.
Hmmm, pants at the seam eh? Might look pretty good. Darn you, I thought I was finished! >:-(

Updated the CS. Updated the palette. Now all his colors are in the same order in the color table as they are in the 50% image starting from the top. Should be much simpler to make palettes for him like this.
I think it should be safe to start making palettes for this CS now. Everything seems fine.

Yes it is. I can't think of a reason that Sean would add a new color to his sprites at this point. Unless he has to hold something or take off a jacket or something. But that stuff would be easy to add to the current template.

I made these basic concepts up. I did forget he needs the low kick because he had it in StreetWise. I wasn't looking at your list of basics when I made these. It's pretty neat how many of them match up. I'll just focus on his specials and supers instead of basics and leave the rest to how you have them. Feel free to disregard these. I just wanted to sketch some standing basic concepts.

Well I'm finding as I work on him that he is very easy to draw. Someone with more details, like Skullomania, would take twice the time. My Squall sprites were also a test of my patience.
By the way everyone, I'm about halfway through his gethits/required sprites. Moving along quite nicely.

I admittedly borrowed a lot of Joe Higashi's upper body for these, just because they're so similar and there wouldn't have been much point in drawing them from nothing when they'd end up looking almost identical. Few more basic actions (dash, dizzy, etc.) and then I can start on his basic attacks.

In my opinion, I don't think he needs to be smiling all the time, it looks odd. I was wondering, haven't you seen Bobby Ologun? He's a char from Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku: Bonnou Kaihou (Shin Power Instinct) a.k.a. Power Instinct PS2 version, he's a nice char you could use as base too so he wouldn't look like Joe Higashi at all.
Here I leave you a sprite for reference and the spritesheet. (http://i.imgur.com/qQmGI1C.png) Download here (http://www.mediafire.com/download/4wvlgg74abbhjgr/016.rar)
There is also a char of him by Neat Unsou (http://(http://rmbase.blog55.fc2.com/blog-entry-2.html)) if you want to see him in action and not only in videos.

Awesome get hits! For his dizzy anim I almost suggested he start punching himself in the head to wake up but remembered the head punching will be a taunt.
@Iced: What would a good dizzy anim be? Sean: You're into wrestling a lot, I'm kinda thinking he could have like maybe a Terry Funk kind of dizzy? Know what I mean, where he's half stumbling and wanting to still fight? Basically I think his dizzy would be a good time to show his fortitude to fight.

If possible, I'd suggest making his arms drop lower (maybe not the forearm, but the biceps). It's really hard to keep your guard up when you're running on empty - but he'd still try to lift them high when his chest moves up.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Titiln on May 30, 2014, 04:29:18 pm
i suggest changing his default palette to something closer to this (might have too much contrast, but something halfway between both could work, maybe)
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/123/b/a/joe_sf1_by_god_of_death_alex-d7gy6ol.gif) Credits to zero de armentis for the original sprite.
i applied that palette myself to some of sean's sprites and the increased contrast brings out the details a lot. obviously not a big deal since changing the palette is comparatively the easiest thing. the sprites and animations look amazing so far, keep up the good work
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Sean Altly on May 30, 2014, 09:57:15 pm
Well, all the colors I'm using for Joe right now are CVS colors (they come directly from Joe Higashi), but I applied some of those colors to his palette anyway, and reduced the contrast in his skin a bit and it does look nice.
Let's get some opinions. I'll still keep spriting with the palette I've been using, but if people like it, this palette will be the default palette when you actually play as him.

The idea with the dashes is he's supposed to be doing that hand-on-the-bicep insult pose, but the animations may go too fast for it to really register.

He's too.... BLONDE!
No, really. He's coming along nicely. With some adjustment to the timings, those insults would be plain as day. Subtle and great. That same pose would make a great taunt. Having it in a taunt would probably subconsciously make them more apparent in the dashes. Or maybe I just really think it suits his trademark smirk. The classic chin flick insult gesture would work, too. Possibly a winpose for that one. Ramble, ramble.

The Advancing Hook closes a lot of distance. Would it be the end of a combo or a start? It just seems like you'd have a lot of tics between MP and F+HP. If MP is going to have that much hittime, I think a lot of inadvertent infinites might pop up. Likewise, if it's the start it shouldnt be able to be connected to at the end. Otherwise a loop happens.
Dont get me wrong, the move is sweet. I personally have a tough time with stuff like that.

Neither hook punch will be a combo starter or ender. It is going to be a good fast long range meaty attack.
Edit: Sean, do you think it might be wise to give him the uppercut move I sketched as his MP to be his close range HP? Right now he has no good anti air basics. I know he gets the HK but that hits a further away jumping opponent.

Yeah, that could work. The standing HK (or MK, depends on which it fits better) I have planned out could also work, it's going to be based off of this attack:

Post by: JustNoPoint on June 12, 2014, 05:10:51 am
Woops it was MK for mine too. Only difference is mine would put his foot out further from his body so it wouldn't hit deeper jump ins but either is fine. I forgot my HK is a straight kick with decent reach to be a non advancing poke hard attack in case you didn't want to advance with HP.

The main thing I would love to see (aside from the kick that Cody swiped for SFA3, of course) is a Bryan-esque spinning kick. Something like the one totally awesome kick Kyo got in.... '03? Or was it '02? The ender to this: (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np7/char/gifs/kyo/attacks/kyo-xi-special7.gif) Everything shown so far is fan-friggin'-tastic.

Second looks snappier, first looks slower with more range. IMO, the second is fine, the movement of the first may be a little awkward, stretching the leg this far and then pulling it back to spin.

Cody keeps his hands close because of the chain, I think for Joe it should be more obvious that his hands are apart from each other. To avoid redrawing the whole torso (into something like Kyo's standing HK), maybe his right elbow could stick out from behind his back ?

Post by: Nnaajj on July 01, 2014, 02:41:56 pm
I think on the last frame of the kick he could twist just a little further, emphasizing the spin of the kick; But that's just me being picky. Generally I think it's a crisp unique animation! Good stuff man.

LP - Elbow, comes out quick, stays active for a long time
Is he still getting the elbow or did you just change your mind on this attack?
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/ohmystromboli/JoeKnee_zpsbe631dd1.gif) Cool! I didn't know he was getting a close range knee attack. I wonder if it should be close MK or close SK

@Walt
Face looks nice, I'll apply it to the anim with the new arm positioning.
@JNP
The elbow may become his MP. The animation I posted here was going to be his MP but it looks more like a LP to me. Unless you think it could pass as an MP.
That knee is intended as a close HK and also as the Pop-up Knee follow-up for Ghost step. Using the first couple frames of the standing version and the last frames from the jumping LK I posted, you can make a rising knee-type move.
@ Everyone else
Thanks for the feedback. Gonna work on some more stuff today.

Ah, yeah. I think it looks like a LP as well. Scythe Kick had the turn anim. Is that all the frames it will have? (It's all it needs, I'm just wondering.)
Also, don't forget about those other 3 get hit frames. It's driving me crazy seeing him turn into Ryu during those Strong attacks =p
I updated Joe with the animations you added. About to add the scyth kick and Judas's current stance animation. Scythe kick will be F+SK right now. Till Ghost Step/Fade are finished and it can have it's proper triggers.
I'll add the crack kick once you update the sprites :)

The transition is a little awkward, but I used the jumping MK to make this as well, just in case you didn't want the crouching LK and MK to repeat. If you don't want to use it, it's totally fine, it was just one transition sprite and a few foot edits, totally up to you.

Kinda similar to Sakura's kick off throw Or Chun Li's drop kick against Vega in SF2 TAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg__aWhNHEQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=9

Post by: XANDERAC on July 09, 2014, 05:44:56 am
One suggestion I would make, and I don't know how you'd feel about it, perhaps make him tilt his head back rather than looking straight on. It may make it appear a bit stronger just because the little change could add almost like a recoil effect as the move connects. even if it's only slightly back like this missile drop kick. Either way, just a suggestion, it does look very good though.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Odb718 on July 09, 2014, 09:03:56 am
It'd be a pretty sweet effect if the head back only happened once he hits the opponent. Usually a stagnant head is a good thing, but in this case it kinda stands out. Definitely dig the move
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: SilentRipper on July 10, 2014, 03:18:51 am
I think you should increase the legs lenght a few pixel when he's streched out, is it just me or he seems proportionately shorter? take Rugal as reference to see what I mean :s (Also, make him smile, goes with his personality :))
Obviously it will move farther than that, but that will be accomplished through vels.

Looking beautiful Sean. I didn't care for the idea of Joe at first (he already became Cody much like Mike -> Boxer), but seeing his unique moves and professional quality animations has made me really excited for the character. Keep up the great work.

@ Ghost step/Fade YES!!! Now I can start adding the fun!
As for the fixed drop kick. It does look a bit better. I can add the final touches to it so don't worry about it. There are a number of frames I'll be tweaking later. In most cases it'll just be to add some hair movement.
@Drex: Yeah, this won't be any Cody! I think I'm going to really enjoy his play style!

Post by: SilentRipper on July 11, 2014, 02:20:19 am
I still think a another pixel would help a lot there, its a jumping HK after all (in my book the staple of staring combos and ofensive retreats) when I have the time I'm gonna edit something to express my point.
Also the ghost fade... AWESOME!!! that RULES!! so smooth! perfect vels!!! :sugoi:
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 11, 2014, 03:40:46 am
This does not take away anything from your suggestion of making the legs slightly longer. I'll judge if that helps when you present the edit. Just wanted to note that I tried something a bit more unique for this jumping SK. You won't be able to combo off it at all. It creates a hard knockdown.
If he hits them with the neutral jump version it slams them almost right by him. An angled jump connect makes them fly across the ground bouncing a ways. Hit in the air makes it rocket the opponent to the ground. And there is 3 ticks longer block stun when it is blocked. I don't know exactly how this will affect him overall balance wise. So as usual it could change when tested against Ryu after they are completed. But for now I think it's pretty slick looking and unique for a basic. And it further pushes his on the ground style more.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Thedge on July 11, 2014, 03:57:10 pm
The +3 ticks may be a balance issue since it gives a lot of advantage if it's conected low. At least if small jumps are present it would make a huge difference.
The rest sounds great, the neutral jump variation should work like the neutral jump punch in MK9, add the option to juggle after that. :)
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 11, 2014, 06:19:24 pm

Slash Elbow (the command OH and the follow-up for Ghost Step). It will need some sort of slash FX to extend the hit area, something simple like you see on Alex's Flash Chop.

Post by: Byakko on July 12, 2014, 01:41:31 am
I'm sorry but I've never seen any effect like that in CvS2. It's just not how they are. I'd suggest taking a look at slash effects like those from King's Tornado Strike (one sprite) or Joe's Golden Heel and Eagle's St. Andrews Green, but that may be too much. The effects on the hands for Geese's Reppuuken and Shippuuken can work too. There aren't that many cutting effects for most physical hits in CvS2, actually.

Just to make something clear: I do not edit these & expect you to edit it to please me or anybody else. In fact, and please don't get me wrong, I truely understand that you could care less about the changes I made, seeing that you get paid for doing spriting/animating and going back to a for you finished part of the product would clearly be not work efficient.
After all, following your great progress over the years it is clear that you greatly improved with each frame you sprited/animated. I do acknowledge your acquired skills and it is obvious that you have a great work output doing great sprites and animations. In fact I dont see any big errors in your animating, yet there is always room for improvement. Seeing that you were developing and enhancing your skills with each char you made & the fact that I saw a fast way to improve something you crafted, made me want to show you, how easily you could improve these animations with very little effort. My honest apologies for doing so without being asked, I do not and did never intend to offend you OR make you redo something you think is perfectly fine.
You see, I cant even play Mugen on my Mac (I hardly ever played before). Yet I love creating & therefore really admire the graphic process behind making chars, as I love pixel art and animating. That said seeing how you create a character has been a great inspiration to me & for that I wanted to return something to you.

Post by: R@CE AKIR@ on July 13, 2014, 02:34:50 pm
You can use Angle Draw to help make this fit on this attack. Ifthat doesnt work, try using the elbow attack FX off of Adon's Jaguar Assault Super
I sometimes have to use other people's FX on other characters, so I'm used to going thru the trouble of editing them to fit.
You could also use the Slash FX on Haohmaru's uppercut slash FX that I did, and turn it upside down and maybe switch the direction its facing and then scale the size and finally change the position for it to fit on him.
I used the same method on other characters and it worked like a charm, but it takes time. It may be the same FX but it looks different on the next character because the shape and size may have been changed.

I just realized it might be strange to have FX on a command normal, so I thought I might make an edited version that is a punch so it has some more range without using FX. It would be pretty easy to edit into a punch. Then the elbow with the slash FX can be used for the special move version. Let me know if that works for you.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 14, 2014, 12:47:22 am
I was thinking that. I was going to test it 1st without the fx. See how he looks if he slid forward with it. And then try to see if I could maybe combine the step from the FP with the attack.
But if you want to make a punching overhead attack that'll work. I won't be able to code new moves for him till Tuesday.

Post by: Molly Ancälimè on July 15, 2014, 06:16:25 am
You could do something like what, if I remember correctly, PotS' Cammy did; have FX only on the EX version of the move. I think it was either Cannon Spike or Spiral Arrow, maybe both, that had blue flames on the EX version. Unless Joe isn't going to have EX moves, in which case, ignore that.
In any case, this is shaping up to be a great character. I'm just disappointed to see that hooded version go to waste, but hey, it's Joe! We've been in desperate need of ol' blondie for a while.

So here's the crouching MP. I suggest experimenting with moving him forward during the attack, because right now it has roughly the same range as the LP. I gave it a posadd of 10 on the third frame and it looked pretty good in game to me.
3 Hit Elbow Target Combo. It's admittedly edits of the normals, but it looks fine to me. Will need some posadds or vels, I assume. I don't imagine it was meant to cover too much ground, or it'd be more like a special.

Sean, I think you may be able to use quite a bit of this to make his on the ground holding his ribs rocking animation. Make his legs kick in pain and the get up can be used for that too. =)

Post by: Sean Altly on July 18, 2014, 12:12:01 pm
This is the first I'm hearing of an animation of him holding his ribs and rocking on the ground. I thought he was just going to land flat and take damage. I was just going to use a KoF anim as a base.
Also, I need you to make sketches for how the beginning of Giving Up the Ghost is supposed to look and for Spirit bringer (the move I called Screaming Knee). I envisioned that move looking exactly like Bryan Fury's knee special from SFxT, but then the way you guys described it, working like Terry's Power Dunk, it would have to look different. For the beginning of Giving Up the Ghost, I saw the .gif of Cena but I'm not sure how that transitions into the anim for the headbutt grab.

Post by: JustNoPoint on July 18, 2014, 03:25:08 pm
Giving Up the Ghost This move makes Joe do a flying body press type move (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/723/501/330.gif) that if misses causes him damage. But on hit he grabs them and headbutts them with his momentum then runs up their body, kicks off the opponent's head launching himself off and towards the side of the screen. He then jumps off the wall with a flying elbow drop on the now downed opponent. When he lands he hits he takes slight damage and rolls on the ground holding his ribs a bit. This move is unblockable
It's also been on page 1 of the JOE thread for a long time :p
I'll sketch you up some stuff soon today. They should be really simple and not require a lot of animations.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Sean Altly on July 18, 2014, 03:28:03 pm
I thought this meant a roll, like the evasive roll, but with him holding his ribs, like he's rolling away from where he landed.

Oh I see. So you're saying that you can't see what's in my mind? Lame! :p
Is the other way an issue or are you just trying to clarify the action?
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: Sean Altly on July 18, 2014, 03:37:27 pm
I can see what you mean now but it wasn't clear before. It is an issue because it's another animation with no base that I hadn't planned on, not to mention I'm half way through the evasive roll anim I'd planned on just editing to have him holding his ribs.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 18, 2014, 03:45:10 pm
Well the sliding punch is a good base. Have his extended arm acting in pain, have the opposite arm clutching his ribs. Have him kicking his legs a bit and arching his back upwards and down instead of the actual roll I mentioned.
If that stills seems overly complicated the roll you're making will work if it shows his pain clearly.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 18, 2014, 07:19:26 pm
(http://justnopoint.com/mugen/Joe/joesketches.png) Very bottom pic is the rising knee. It just needs to be lower really. And it'd still slam back on their head like you originally suggested. Slamming them to the ground under his knee.
The top is the body press starter. When it connects it does a recoil off their body, then he grabs and uses the inertia to headbutt them. While they are dazed he runs up them then from there it's just drop kick anim that propels him to the wall then off the wall with the elbow drop
If there are no good bases I can refine sketches like these to make bases. It's how I make my sprites from scratch. If you'd like something like this.

@JNP
Yes, refining the sketches would help a lot, at least with the beginning of Giving Up the Ghost. It seems the plans I had for Spirit Bringer will still work just fine.
Title: Re: Joe (SF1) - Spriting has begun! First Anims on Page 4!
Post by: JustNoPoint on July 18, 2014, 11:27:59 pm
To clarify how much of the beginning do you wish to convert into a handy sprite base form? Just the opening splash? Or any of the follow up motions? (Also this is Friday and I don't have enough time to do this today so will have to wait till Tuesday after my work week)
I was hoping you would be able to still use it for how you originally wished. Like I said, it's just a matter of CLSN really. And the knee is lower more akin to Tiger knee. But will feel different in the coding.
The idea in my tweaks to your ideas were that you could still convert them the way you wished for your own Joe if that's what you'd like to do.
Options are fun!

My hand is feeling much better. The wrist was definitely sprained but I think my hand was just deeply bruised. It's still tender but I resumed spriting a couple of nights ago and it feels fine, especially if I wear a brace. I knocked out the commission I referenced in the other thread and will be getting back to Joe soon, probably after my birthday Thursday. Need to get my mind off of stuff anyway. Just thought I'd update you guys.

I'm wishing he will be the best character to add it on my roster, though i have to see if he's gonna be 4 or 6-buttoned character. Hopefully. Keep at it, Sean. The dawn of Joe is coming soon.

Technically you can play the very early alpha build of him in the MFG SF board.
I'm considering releasing some universal MUGEN versions for him. The next update will in MFG street Fighter to him will be a while and will make him not very compatible in universal MUGEN.
The idea I have is to release him in various play styles. Starting with SF1. Then SF2, SSF2T, SFA, etc

Wouldn't it be better to make a sort of universal gameplay that incorporates the best mechanics from the SF series than what was said above? Now I haven't been following your progress (too busy with XIII Kyo, LOL :D) but I'm pretty sure that what I said seems easier than to make different forms for each games, which IMO seems like a drag...

Post by: Sean Altly on January 31, 2015, 09:27:38 pm
So unless I'm forgetting something, here is what needs to be finished:
Throw 1 (the spinning bar-fight type throw, still trying to find a decent base) Head Games (grab + Headbutt, gonna use Yamazaki here unless anyone has a better suggestion) Giving Up the Ghost (flying body press, grab + headbutt which can be reused from above, stepping up the opponent, reuse jump HK for repelling off of them, repelling off wall, reuse jump HP for elbow drop, acting hurt when he lands) Dricing Up the Stakes (just need the drinking beer anim for this I assume, and I'm half finished with this anim) Taunt Intro (maybe 2) 2-3 Win Poses Zero Counter Punch (I'm hoping something can be reused here to cut down on the workload, since you're reusing Rising Knee for the Zero Counter Kick)
The taunt is supposed to be him hitting himself in the head to psych himself up, but I'm waiting on JNP's base drawing for that. For an intro, I believe we discussed him being on the phone with his wife or something? Or was it taking off a work shirt? Can't remember, need a refresher there. For his win poses, one should be his simple double arms raised pose from SF1. The other one(s) I'm not sure we discussed ideas for yet. Nothing too complex I hope, I'm ready to get this done while I have the free time.

^I don't think so... Not as is anyway. If you're implying that it could be edited into a Parry anim, then, I guess...? That wouldn't work for AG either. It's a dodge. Chars use their limbs when they Parry or AG.
IDK if you've seen this already, but Lows90 made an MB for him some months back:

Lol I forgot about Q. He's pretty much the only example of this though. Which makes sense, seeing as he's like a robot person or something and could tank hits like that and just brush them off. Joe really doesn't strike me as the type to do something like that. Especially since he's pretty average in terms of body mass. While also being a boxer/street brawler type, I'd more so envision him slapping high attacks away. Or catching them to set up for his own retaliation blow. That's just me though.

"Pretty much" as in a low percentage, not the only one. Let me be more direct with it though. MOST chars, like 95% of them use their limbs. Also the ones that don't are usually big guys who have the mass to tank hits in such a manner. Feel free to show me more though if there is more. I'd like to see other variations on Parry anims.
Parry wasn't on the pay to be made by Sean though. So unless someone else makes one I could still see this one being used just because Joe has moves that hurt himself. He don't give no fucks about it!
It's only like 3 frames per anim though. I'd be willing to pitch in to have Sean make them for you. If not, it's cool. That dodge will have to be edited a bit still to look more like a parry imo, though yeah, it can still work.

Post by: AlexSin on February 04, 2015, 12:56:58 pm
I thought Makoto's air parry was one of those, but after closer inspection, she moves her hands very fast to nullify the attack. That Joe "parry" (or "guard push") wouldn't work anyway because he leans backward while "parrying"/"pushing", instead of going forward with all his body.
I think an idea of parrying for him could be to slap the attack with his right arm (our left).

It's not that important that it gets used. As you can probably tell, parts of it were used for the headbutt animation, so it's really no wasted work. Although I do like the idea of it being his power charge.

I just have a thing about wanting to use unused animations/frames. Same for stuff cut from other fighters.
Oh, I just remembered. You needed intros and win poses.
Intros.
Standing with jacket. Takes jacket off and throws it.
Crouching while smoking a cigarette. Flicks cig away stands up to fight.
Also have an idea. Recreate this Punch frame, animation (all 2 frames of it) (http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lGSKZgEnbYI/hqdefault.jpg) (http://cdn0.sbnation.com/polygon/sf2-oral-hisotyr-1-2014/face-punch.jpg)
We can make a contest where he walks in and punches random things.
Like that dude in the intro. Have a wall that's cracking and he breaks through it. Whatever someone can think of for him to punch.
Win Poses
Answers phone (have mouth moving for talking)
Hold 2 arms up SF1
Lays back and pops a beer. Going to draw an image example. Can't find it on google. Sitting up, legs spread leaning on 1 arm and drinking with the other is what I'm imagining.

This could also work for a cigarette too. I knocked up a visual in aprox. 3 mins... hopefully it's not so terrible you dont get the idea.

Another idea, (http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/ohmystromboli/Sidestep2_zpstfv0enyx.gif) <<<this, before a sliding straight punch would look like a power up. A Right Strait Punch would look a little more powerful. Maybe like a SFIV charge/focus

[E]: Well he made another dodge and already made a back hop. But yeah it'd be easy to edit into such. I also realised Sean could edit the legs to be a walking angled anim and turn it into the animation where he runs up the opponent if he wants!
Odb Yeah that's the pose and great idea for using the animation for drinking or smoking! The focus would be good too but would need a LOT more sprites.

I was thinking, Black Hatter do a line like, "I'm gonna need a beer after this" And make a var for intro watching. If that intro was on, and you win all the rounds, then he should do the beer pose. If the intro has him drinking then make him smoke a cigarette. I'm not aware of a character that matches Intros and Win Poses. Would be pretty cool. eerr now that I'm thinking I think a Z2 char does it.

I don't know about the laying down with beer/cigarette thing, makes him seem like a slob or something. Just my two cents. If you do want it, Joe Higashi has usable bases for it, but if I use him as base too much more, it's going to start to seem like an edit of him or something.

(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y407/ohmystromboli/Sidestep2_zpstfv0enyx.gif) This anim could be used for a counter; the enemy attacks, you input the counter attack, so Joe dodges it and attacks (like Dudley's counter-attack, only this time he doesn't take damage).

it could also be an intro if you add a layer of a shirt getting ripped.

Akihiko from Ultimax has a move kinda like that but it's not a counter. He just dodges and punches shortly after

Here's my suggestions for things to punch: 1. Meat on a hook (flies offscreen). 2. Solid Concrete Block (shatters into pieces). 3. Iron Girder (bends in the center from the punch). 4. Dumpster (on wheels so it rolls away).

If he is going to be smoking of drinking a beer he would probably look best on his haunches. Kinda like how yamazaki does.

It'd be pretty awesome, if you could have him set the beer down in the intro. Keep it for all the rounds, and pick it up and drink it as a win pose. It'd take some coding but it could work. You could also keep the bits of the cinder block and other things he punches. It'd be a nice nod if he punches KFM's intro piece of wood.

Beer Drink

Or I might change his arm so he's smashing it on the ground behind/beside him.

Holy crap. You're alive after all, Sean! And yeah, I'd suggest you make him BREAK the bottle. Also, I suggest you make a couple of sprites with an arm, PREPARED to grab the bottle. It just will look kinda "Nah!" if bottle will get in Joe's hand out of nowhere and will get out of it in the same way. Make him CATCH that bottle, thrown to him from somewhere out of a screen, that would look fine... I think.

I think the bottle should just go flipping out of his hand. It'd be a little more retro stylish. Sean, if you have some free time I'd like to pm you about Noob Saibot.

What happened with the full game?
I joined the HDBZ team and couldn't juggle 2 full game projects after this last build of HDBZ blew up so much on the net it's now a full time job. But I could knock him out pretty fast at this point.
I'm much better at coding than I was then. Heck I gave up due to trouble coding his ground bounce back then lol I'd probably just remake him from scratch.

They're for whatever people want to do with them (mostly JNP since he and some others commissioned him years ago). Just focusing on sprites, not gonna really be doing much coding.

Thanks man
So I just learned the importance of not taking two year breaks and then jumping back into something. I spent an hour making those 4th sprites for his High/Low/Crouching Get Hit animations and then went to plug them into the .sff and realized I made them already. In 2015. Ughhhhh

Iced never responded so I'll probably go with POTS style so it can fit with JMorphMan's characters. That seems like it'd be the most open MUGEN choice to make anyway!

IMPORTANT UPDATE
So I know I came back and people were like "nice" and then I disappeared again but my work schedule has changed so that all 40 hours are in the span of four days. So that means I will have three days off in a row every week, and I'll be dedicating at least one of those days a week to at least 8 hours of spriting. I will be finishing up a few animations for Joe, then working on SHADEs 3 and possibly Batman.
So I want to ask an important question. If I can guarantee regular content production because of my new schedule, would there be any interest at all in contributing to a Patreon if I started one? I've seen it's become a popular tool of artists and I could use the extra money to make sure I don't have to get a second job or spend more time than necessary driving for Uber (something I do Friday and Saturday nights for extra cash).
I may create a poll for this, and I'll be posting at least one animation tonight. Let me know what you guys think.
EDIT
Here's Joe's run. Yes I used Kyo's lower half but with some edits.

I'd say go for it, make a Patreon. If people are interested in seeing more from you (and I'm sure they are), they'd definitely contribute.
Also, that run is pretty good. I was gonna ask if you were gonna make a proper run animation for Joe anyway :P
