Title: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Barker on February 06, 2015, 02:22:19 am
New thread and something a little different. Converting the work I did with Buutenks into Super Buu.
More to come, but here's what I have :).

Sprites are crisp as hell, bro. You really nailed his bubblegum texture.
If you could animate him breathing in that first sprite, where his abdomen goes from flat, as in the third sprite, to bulbous like it is now, it'd look sick as fuck.

Right now I'm committed to Super Buu's base form in terms of attacks. We're still early though, so there's lots of time for suggestions.
That is awesome, really.

If you are going to use that as an stance, i would recomend turning his face towards the camera a bit as i did.
 
Also be carefull with the transition of the punches as this is kind of a weird pose for punching.

Maybe if the back arm was more towards the front it would be more natural , being bent backwards like that makes it look as if he is in the middle of punching out.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Balthazar on February 06, 2015, 11:29:23 pm
Actually I think this one still looks the best :P
(http://i.imgur.com/0Zv8wCo.png)
That profile head is bitchin'!

The abs in that first sprite look a bit odd though (not the abs themselves, they look good, just the abs BEING THERE), we're used to that skinny look of his, but as mentioned it might come out looking awesome in a breathing animation :)
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: XGargoyle on February 06, 2015, 11:41:09 pm
I don't believe a breathing animation would certainly fit with the character. He has no nose to begin with and no need to breathe due to his magic origins.

I would rather have him pumping up his muscles or breaking his "neck bones" while being in an idle stance
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 07, 2015, 12:12:36 am
I don't think he has any bones, but flexing his muscles might look pretty cool.

i agree, he didn't breath in his stance either in this (http://spritedatabase.net/files/ds/20/Sprite/SuperBuu.png) sprite or this (http://spritedatabase.net/files/saturn/282/Sprite/SuperBuu.png) sprite

Ooooohweeeee this is looking really good! I loved the Buutenks stuff and im sure this will be even more amazing.

Just a suggestion, I think you should change the color of the pants to a more lighter color like this

He's got tons of holes in his  body that he pumps air in and out of, though. It'd just be a good way to represent his "bubblegum" body that he can inflate and liquidize at will.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Barker on February 07, 2015, 10:16:37 pm
I don't really want to get into a debate on whether or not Buu needs oxygen, but he can certainly breathe.

(http://i.imgur.com/PL4mERK.jpg)

And regarding the idle, should I keep it as it is? (The third sprite)
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 08, 2015, 01:26:15 am
Those holes on his body aren't there for show, after all XD

Its a nice idle state, but as people have pointed out, won't it be difficult to transition punches?

Thanks Balmsold, looks like an improvement to me. I like what you did with the abs.

Here's the jab I did for Buutenks with some tweaks. Is the transition back to idle too jumpy? If it looks okay I'll continue filling it in.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: lui on February 09, 2015, 09:31:04 am
yup, feels a bit jumpy, try making him bounce a bit. increase it by one frame or two.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: HQ on February 09, 2015, 12:04:26 pm
still lots to fix, but I think you get the idea of how I made it to transist more fluid to the stance.

I think you should move the arm around on the idle to try other poses, that one looks a bit unnatural but the front arm looks fine.

what if he had his arm relaxed by his side?

I think it looks better without the first frame, and being remplaced with a copy of the last frame.

If its the ligh punch, should not have to much anticipation in the movement.

About the stance, it really depends if you transition things correctly again into the stance, i like where the hand is, but i would not mind it that changes so it makes the rest of the anims easier.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Barker on February 09, 2015, 02:31:35 pm
Those animations look nice guys, but I think everyone's in agreement that the pose causes more problems than it's worth.

It would need to move up and down to prevent it from looking like he was scratching himself, but yeah something similar to that  I will try out some sketches when i get home to see if i can show you what i mean about the motion.

Check out Thedge attempt of drawing a superbuu too, it was pretty good.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Iced on February 09, 2015, 11:24:34 pm
it could be a idle, leave him sitting around too much and he gets sick of having his arms up.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: HQ on February 09, 2015, 11:29:36 pm
Iced, I think your 3rd stance kinda resembles: http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/iori-orochi-cvs-stance.gif (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters2/iori-orochi-cvs-stance.gif) which is a great stance for Kid Buu I think, but also hard to transist.

also here's some of my ideas:

Don't worry guys, we'll figure this out :P. I combined a few things.

(http://i.imgur.com/bkn40Dw.png)

I like Iced's idea to have his arms go limp after a few cycles in idle. And the dance is perfect for a winpose or taunt :)

And eventually both lower:

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)

I like the idea of having a relaxed stance, something like the K' example, but I think it would look good if he glances off to the side every so often.

Don't remember if it stayed this way in the anime, but the manga's Super Buu was pretty quiet (before absorbing anyone) and didn't move around a lot. You couldn't really read what he was thinking. You couldn't even if he was intelligent. It made him sort of creepy in that way.

I think the arms look better if they appear more relaxed

Thou in this stance, the light punch should be something like an elbow performed by raising his right arm (Artist right)

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: StormEX on February 10, 2015, 03:22:00 am
the arms definitely need to be a little more buff in some areas, but I think that might be the most fitting stands for his fighting style and character.when I think of his fighting style, I think of a lazy, hot headed monkey style. Almost like when he's not being serious, he uses quick, simple things like an elbow attack. When he's mad, his attacks are slow, wild, and strong.

If this stance gets used, which is awesome, he should move like Orochi Iori, but at a much slower pace.  Either that, or have him sway lazily.

I think this could be a good stance for him since the other ones fit more kid buu, also remember in the manga he only has  an index finger and his thumb the other fingers are merged together
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 10, 2015, 06:02:47 am
I think he's going more for the anime adaptation of his anatomy.

I'm all for this! Who cares if it's a bit Kid Buu-ish, this serves Super Buu just as well. And having the fingers the way Balmsold described (a glove hand pretty much with just the thumb and merged fingers) I think will be pretty neat, makes him even more unique, PLUS it's easier to sprite/animate. Win win if you ass me!

The problem of having a stand up animation is that super bu is freaking tall, it would clash with other chars height imo.
Also i like the merged finguers better too.

If the stance i did is used, i would recomend an up and down bouncy motion
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: XGargoyle on February 10, 2015, 01:21:08 pm
Height is not an issue if the character has a slightly crouching stance, like Dr.Baldhead in Guilty Gear.

Besides, you can do the jump animations like Anakaris from Vampire Savior, in which the legs shrink while keeping the same upper body size. Certainly it will fit for a bubblegum-based monster :)

I think this is the definitive! it may be hard transitioning punches later but i would like to assist if that brings problems.

The idea I had:

(http://i61.tinypic.com/711ly8.gif)

Here, to give you a visual of my craptastic sprinting skills.  Buu's medium standing punch.  And no, he's not growing an extra arm, its just to show how his arm will move for the attack.  Of course he has to move with the attack and not look stationary.

Barker, just wanted to tell you that its ok to try to please everybody, but its better if you focus on what you want for your char.
I hope all these feedback its not resulting in a turn off of interest for your char, deciding the stance can be some of the most tedious things to decide for a character.

That being said, your work is amazing and you seem to be adapting really fast on the style, good luck and let me know if you need a hand with anything.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 11, 2015, 09:14:27 pm

It's all good guys. Nobody has been too pushy.

I had a lengthy talk with Iced yesterday about some stuff. Things are in motion for Buu, some really great stuff is planned.

As for that idle stance, I think I'm going to go with what HQ suggested. Hands-up and after a couple of seconds his arms go down.

It's a fixer upper, but overall I like it. The feet are probably out of alignment and they sometimes look like they aren't facing forward. His hands and forearms aren't big enough, so i need to fix those. The tentacle doesn't move as much as I want.

As for a programmer, not much thought has been put into it (by me, at least). That's probably something that will be decided after I get a little bit more done. I like the enthusiasm though! :)

i think you are going to need another frame in there, also a bit of work on the feet. setup guidelines while doing big motions so you are sure the sprites all align properly. HQ can probably help you out with that he is really good at animating.

Is that based on KOF 2003's Mukai?

Anyhow, I feel the shoulder+arm in the front could sway further back. It looks like it's doing a very natural motion, then it's suddenly stopped by an invisible wall on it's way back.

Great work Barker! I love the process so far!

Something about the timing still looks wrong but that should be faster edits after these improvements are made:

Post by: HQ on February 13, 2015, 12:13:15 am
Great to hear :)

btw. what is the final stance now?

Ignore the afterimage during the animation - what you need to make the walk transist smoothly is 1 or 2 frames inbetween from the stance:

(http://i.imgur.com/LUmCF4S.gif)
(http://i.imgur.com/1TiVjFh.gif)

of course 2 would be better, seeing that the foot / arm movement from the walk is contrary to the stance.

Also, I dont know if it is worth doing (seeing how Freeza's walk was such a big issue and in all the videos the walk hardly ever shows up long enough to even have an issue with it to begin with), or you'd even would want to do that. But maybe having Buu have two 2 walk animations - depending on what his stance is at the moment (llazy or prepared to fight) could differentiate him even more. That's definetly not on a top priority either way haha

Something like this:

Anything is subject to change or tweaking.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: JustNoPoint on February 13, 2015, 02:02:40 am
It would actually be pretty neat if he was a character that played different in his idle style. So his fighting style would involve him trying to get to a point where you can sit still for a bit.

I'm not sure what all it could change (faster attacks, more stretching, larger attacks). And not sure if it's a timed style or limited to the next attack(s) in some way.

Style change is obvious. Buu having hard hitting moves and then sitting there getting bored while you recover or are locked/frozen would be interesting and unique.

Since he can warp dimensions he could even have attacks and/or supers that add or subtract time to the timer.

He is planned to have a slime trap that stops the opponent, as well as a sleep move that slowly regains health. So he'll mostly want to keep opponents away, but has tools if they do get in close.

His stance should be cocky ... he should be really really cocky.

Everything about him should be bad ass and that almost crouched stance doesn't fit his anime style.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 13, 2015, 05:41:19 pm
I think he's fine the way he is.  Besides, him looking bored and lazy suits his demeanor so much better.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Barker on February 13, 2015, 06:54:12 pm
I want him to be unique, so I'm mostly going to focus on the goofier side of him.

That being said, he will be hard-hitting and intimidating. The walk cycle and some of the attacks I'm working on will show that.

Edit:   An update on the walk cycle. Changed a bunch of stuff including his face and the size of his forearms and hands.

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Balthazar on February 16, 2015, 09:14:41 pm
Wow it really looks nice overall :)
Three tips :
1 the pecks look a bit boxy, I think you can streamline them a bit more; have the line in the center (that seperates the pecks) end a little higher so the pecks sag down and outwards just a little bit.
2 on the limbs that are in the back, you should refrain from using the lightest shade; use only the second-lightest shade on those.
 It makes the limbs in front pop out a bit more and gives a bit more depth to the sprite overall.
3 You can be a bit more generous with the second-lightest (blending) shade; it doesn't have to be a single pixel line (I know that's how my older Z2 sprites are but the newer ones aren't).
This very fast edit I did on one of the frames has all three of these things I mentioned implemented (well the rear arms still has the lightest shade, but that one isn't as far in the back as the leg is, so it's ok if it's fully lit):
(http://network.mugenguild.com/balthazar/misc/buuwalktweak.gif)
I hope this helps you to make your sprites look even better, the animation looks nice, good luck!

Oh another thing I just noticed: His pants are longer in his front leg (in that frame at least).

I've actually seen a lot of your guy's work for Buu that Iced had in a spreadsheet :P. I think it was more comforting than overwhelming, actually. Now I know that once I finish Buu's movements and hit sprites (the boring stuff) there's already a foundation built for his moves.

If this character gets finished, he might be the most unique fighter in the cast. Really exciting stuff!

Would you be interested in hearing ideas for moves, or would that be too annoying?

I think a variation of Buu's absorption could be interesting. A surprise projectile that covers the opponent in slime (dizzy-like effect). Maybe shooting out from behind, or being set as a trap and activated later.

I agree with the pectorals being best in the first sprite. As for his chin, Super Buu doesn't have a very pronounced jaw. However, I think it could use with a tiny bit more definition than it has in the third sprite.

other than that, fantastic!

^^^ It definitely needs at least 1 or 2 more frames. If you scroll up to the Urien animation you can see it's much smoother. Urien has something like 22 frames for his jump.

Here's an update to the walk:

Post by: altoiddealer on March 04, 2015, 04:25:32 pm
There's a shading just below his crotch area that quickly appears and disappears, which is pretty jarring.  I also think when his right foot is all the way back, there should be some light on the front of his leg... right?  Personally I think there's just too much contrast on the legs in general, that there should be less of the dark shade and more of the neutral shade.

*EDIT* Although I'm sure the legs are consistent with other DBZ characters... my opinion doesn't take that into account.

and in this frame (and all the other frames where his left leg is forward), i think his left leg should get lighting on it because he's moving it forward.
No :whip:

Yeah, I think it's great the way it is. Kinda like most of the CvS2 animations.

lol, and five lashes for being inexperienced in shading!
but now that i think about it, you're right. the inner side of his leg shoud stay shaded because the outter side obviously blocks the lighting.
sorry, amateur mistake.

For his run, his arms should bounce a little bit.  And for his crouch he should open his mouth and lick his top teeth.

The levels for the feet to land should be different for each one. If you look closely you can see they both land on the green line, but that shouldn't be. Also, in the same frames, edit the folds a little more, because right now it's easy to spot they're the same legs with very minor edits in shading; the shoes should be fixed too, but now I'm nitpicking.

As already said through private messaging, great work!

But now, feedback time:

- the running could definetly use two more frames to make it smoother - I dont know how many frames Balthazar uses but I guess around 8 to 10. If you have added these you will need to transist the upperbodies to make the movement look right :)
- I fixed the leg issues
- add some facial expressions, usually the "eyebrows" go down through the fast impact on the ground and the starting motion upwards

Sorry for this big mess, but I hardly find time at this moment:
(http://i.imgur.com/yI3vKla.gif)

The head tail needs some major movement when he jumps up, pulling down and when he falls down it should float in the air while falling down (I would another frame in the falling down if he gets some sort of super jump)
also it still needs some major realignment on the legs (especially the landing)

also get hits are an easy fix - havent done the legs much yet, but the upperbody movement should look something like this for a rubber dude like buu:
(http://i.imgur.com/6Ir4yoW.gif) (also note where I cut the head tail, it should be an inbetween the prior and the following frame there)
On another note I just realized how much you could show the heavy impact in the first frame in his headtail being straight from the hit area

something like this maybe
(http://i.imgur.com/6Vy2qr7.gif) --> plus update on the arms: (http://i.imgur.com/lCstS5G.gif)

Looks nice for the harder hit, but the effect is too much for the weaker hit. Buu's head isn't moving far enough or fast enough for the antenna is lag behind. Instead, the antenna looks like it's moving towards the opponent.

Post by: Barker on March 20, 2015, 04:53:39 pm
Looking really good! :)   I think Thammy might be right about the weaker hit effects. Maybe a shorter / less whipping motion would look better for the tail. I'll test some stuff out later today after I get some work done on other animations. Thanks dude!

Let's stay on topic, we don't people to get in trouble. Feel free to PM me

(http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae70/fjamesfernandez/Untitled-2_zps9oxkmsr7.png)

Any ways I did some edits (dont follow what i do) The main focus was on the chest. The shoulder on the background wont so as much but the part of the chest would. Therefore you had to move the chest to the middle a bit like I did. Everyone in this forum should know I fucking hate low res sprites but I try my best to help just a little. I was gonna post up a running animation I did which is similar to this one but it didn't bend down that far so I didn't want to give you a bad reference.

Good luck with the sprites, but all in all you should really invest on just drawing out the frames. You'll spend too much time cutting and splitting pieces just to get an animation. But that's just my thought.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Barker on April 11, 2015, 04:36:57 pm
Thanks for the feedback guys. For now I'm keeping it the way it is, with possibly some small changes in the future (abs and chest detail are easy fixes).

Easiest way to get burnt out is to work on the same animation for months, and I don't want that to happen. I'll have an update in the coming weeks with some of the stuff HQ, Iced, and myself have cooked up.

Well everyone has their own way of working :D Me I don't mind taking my time to do how I want them to turn out rather then worrying about people complaining on the time you take. Its about dropping a classic, not hits :P

But all in all good luck on the animations and don't feel the need to rush. Its a learning experience and if you get stuck just know that we are all here to help out with what we can.

OOMPH!! o_O

Wow, that shading change on the walking animation changed everything, a whole new level of realism has been added.

For the stance, it's very good looking, but maybe one or two filler frames just to smooth out the animation; focus specifically on the abs, top part of pants, and movement of arms, everything else looks flawlessly perfect from my angle. :)

Yupp, the stance will definitely get more frames. The pants will pretty much be redrawn and I might go with a more noticeable "in and out" shading for the abs. This is one of the most important animations, so it's got to be good!

When your work is good enough, we in the peanut gallery start glossing over little issues like that.
Actually, even looking at your "very very work-in-progress" stance, I can't even see what you need to do. Add more frames and get his arms more animated?
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: PRØJECT.13 on May 15, 2015, 12:45:26 pm
As far as the stance goes, I was originally going to suggest giving him a big of an angry shake a few loops in, but that would be the same stance as Majin Vegeta Z2, if I remember correctly. Perhaps his more characteristic neck roll or just an evil grin a few loops in, plus a few more frames for smoothness?
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired)
Post by: Barker on May 15, 2015, 01:36:25 pm
- I definitely want a few more frames.
- If you look closely at the pants they look off. The foot on the right needs some subtle movement. Abs might need some polish. Arms might need more rotational movement.
- Different facial expressions on the loops. A grin or head tilt would add some character to it.

Other than that, it's off to a pretty good start. :)

Looking at the animation it seems that the background leg is animated smoother while the foreground leg looks to be missing a frame. but that can just be due to the angle you decided on the leg when he is stepping forward. Take a look at it. Kinda looks like he is limping a bit. I dont want to make things difficult for you, but just wanted to point that out.

Now for the positive note, Look really good. One of your best animations.

I have a suggestion:  Perhaps he should re-compose himself upright first (with his arms up a bit, too?), then settle down into his stance.

Looks REALLY cool though.  The last frames look particularly weird on his shoes.

The reverse looks great too but obviously the pants would need some work "fading out"

there should be an intermediate frame between lying on the ground and the first frame of the chewing gum state. You need a frame in which Buu is part chewing gum and part normal body

Maybe. I think we're only going to use the steam for when Buu really means business, so it might work for his charge. We'll see!

Same here, he winds it up a bit much for a jab. His hand would barely reach between his head and his right shoulder for a simple jab (slap / chop) and he wouldn't slice all the way through, just sort of make his hand "bounce back".

Not every chop has to be a focus attack. But yeah, maybe this should be a medium punch or something. A jab doesn't need any windup at all, it's just to create an opening.

Maybe for a jab, you could give it a motion like when you try to take a bug out in front of you with one hand, like "get off"
Like an uninterested slap with the back of the hand.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: JustNoPoint on June 23, 2015, 02:05:53 pm
I think for a jab you should have him attack with his genie head tail thing. Or a quick arm/shoulder steam blast. I was going to say have his head lunge forward without wind up but I think that'd be more kid Buu like
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: AlexSin on June 23, 2015, 03:19:55 pm
I have an idea for his light punch.
(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u402/GodofDeath94/Buu2_2.gif~original)(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u402/GodofDeath94/Buu3_1.gif~original)(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u402/GodofDeath94/Buu4_1.gif~original)
Frames are not polished.
The first animation explains
the frames that could be used for
his light punch, the other two are
animation tests.
I know, the animation speed is the same for almost all frames, but it was just a proof of concept, I would have explained it terribly with words (like "Make him move his left arm for the jab, using the stance" or something like that: what do you understand with this?).
The blur effect is not needed but I added it anyway (maybe you're going to add more impact to the move if you use this).
The "another idea" frame was just me messing around with the sprite a bit more.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: Byakko on June 23, 2015, 03:31:00 pm
Now that's the opposite of the previous chop : he needs to move more than that, it's almost unnoticeable :-\ The torso not moving at all would be fine, if the hand was higher, but when it's hanging low at the belt, there's just no movement. He needs to move his torso a little, probably turning his left shoulder forward, and his head looking a bit downward and turned toward the screen a little (in a 3/4 view).
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]

Don't worry, I expected this reaction. It's too weak, it can't even be considered a punch.
Maybe I'll try to remake it looking at the references Chamat posted.
This is probably the worst animation I've done until today. My fault though, as I went the lazy way for this anim.

I have yet to chime in on this project, but it looks really cool so far. I agree that lp is kind of on the weak side too. I agree with AugustAPC about maybe using a headbutt instead. The concept Karasai showed looks good, but maybe instead of a lunging forward one, maybe more of a chopping downwards headbutt would look better, and maybe lift his leg up a little before bringing the head down to show that it has a good amount of force behind it. IDK. The one I keep seeing in my head is the one used by Majin Vegeta Z2 as his standing close HP, which saying that now, might not be so good for a standard lp. Still, current jab isn't doing Buu justice. Karasai's headbutt concept might be good for a standing close lp though cause it looks like a good move for checking the opponent or stunning them up close. Keep it up man, everything looks great so far. I've looked over the whole thread and the whole project looks like it's coming along really well. I'm pumped.

Twelve intro or not, it looks great.

The lick, the whip, and the headbutt all sound like good ideas to me. But I don't think Alex's little animation necessarily needs to be scrapped, either; just have the arm raise earlier and the punch extend fully. Maybe twist the fist so it looks like a real punch.

As it is, it barely goes past his leg. It wouldnt be bad as a directional or close standing light punch. It does need a bit more editing though.

As of right now it's basically a SSW2 -> Z2 conversion, so the frame count perhaps is lacking. Another frame on both ends of the animation would help, I agree.

The animation moves so quickly that I didn't bother to be 100% accurate with the lighting (it's just the same sprite rotated 4 ways). Your edit looks pretty decent so maybe i'll use it when I work on that move next.

No, but we might do something cool with his absorb during finishing moves and winposes.

Hey, all you people that like making palettes. Wanna make some palettes?

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: XGargoyle on July 08, 2015, 08:07:46 pm
Open the template file, select the magic wand tool (disable the "contiguous" checkbox) and click on the black square from the eyes color. It will also select other areas, meaning the template is not color separated, and while still possible to a point, it makes palette creation and management much more complicated. The background color is not even indexed in the right position.

What does all that mean? It means that in order to convert the submissions for other people into working palettes, you will need to use a lot of palette editing, moving color slots up and down in order to get a mugen compatible ACT file, and hope you or the palette submitter didn't fail or missed a single color.

With the correct indexation and color separation, you extract the ACT palette directly from the submitted sprite, without requiring any processing or transformation

i personally think this would work well as a medium punch

however, you can have his elbow bend inwards sort of like a hook, and also have his right leg turn torwards the opponent( in this case turn right )



just going to leave this here

I think his butt would turn a bit more and his feet movement should be swapped. His right foot would lift off it's heel onto it's ball, and his left would stay flat.

Uhm.. Vice SHOT? i thought the only "Vice" anyone in the entire series had was Vice SHOUT.
this looks more like a mini Planet Burst like Hyper Dimension versions of Kid Buu.
Also, it might just be me.. but his jump looks cartoon level silly. just feels a bit weird

Post by: altoiddealer on July 24, 2015, 08:12:13 pm
Comparing the two, I find the diagonal version to look much better.  On the first anim, I feel like his body should turn when he throws the shot, but his posture looks appropriate on the second one.

Just my opinion.  Keep up the great work!

We aren't just pulling moves from the anime and games. Some of these will be entirely original yet true to the character. I've already begun work on Vice Shout, as stated previously in the thread.

Also, it might just be me.. but his jump looks cartoon level silly. just feels a bit weird

I think a bit of motion-blur when he whips his head-dildo would help. Also, I think it would look a bit less stiff if he stretched his arms out behind him instead of bring them up to his chest.

It might just be my current state of mind, but with his air Vice Shout, I think it would do him justice to over exaggerate the entire animation a little more. Meaning, have him bend down even more, stretch his arms out more, and lift his legs higher and stretch them out more. It would give the animation a lot more impact, and make it seem more like what he's throwing is packing a hefty punch. Just imagine what someone would look like throwing a shot put. Not saying Vice Shout is a shot put, but you know what I mean. Just a suggestion. Also, another suggestion is to have him hold/pause for at least 1 second on the sprite that has the projectile being released, but don't hold/pause the projectile. It would just cool in my opinion. Whatever you do though, keep on doing. You're blowing my mind with what you are doing with Buu, seriously. Nice job so far.

Post by: Barker on July 30, 2015, 02:57:57 pm
Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think in the vice shot gifs the projectile I added for placeholder took away some of the impact of the move. With some FX and SFX and a properly animated projectile I think it'll look good. Also this move MAY involve teleport shenanigans, more on that later.

His standing light punch is already a tongue attack, right? It might be weird having two standard tongue attacks. I know multiple punches and kicks is usual, but they're less noticeable because they're expected.

Although that other one was a tongue slap and this one is a tongue poke. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

you'd have a tough time of that though. Everyone's hit reactions are pretty different. You could however set up a standard and have people make custom sprites, or align their hit reactions as needed. It would be pretty cool. Setting up the standard would be pretty easy too. The custom sprites I've made for my chars to match the Z2 guys didnt take too long. In the end it makes for a more badass mugen.

you'd have a tough time of that though. Everyone's hit reactions are pretty different. You could however set up a standard and have people make custom sprites, or align their hit reactions as needed. It would be pretty cool. Setting up the standard would be pretty easy too. The custom sprites I've made for my chars to match the Z2 guys didnt take too long. In the end it makes for a more badass mugen.

Nah, not for that. Its just a grab where he enters the opponent body. Jojo bizarre did it just by having the opponent go into several get hits.
you can even drag the opponent around the stage and smash him into walls with the options mugen gives.

If you wanted it as a finisher, you could always do the black on red silhouette thing. Screen turns black, we see shadow Buu entering shadow whoever's body, and then we just see an explosion. Assuming you can work that in Mugen.

Through the mouth though? I doubt Ken and Ryu's mouths at the same X & Y pos. I guess you could do a (const(size.head.pos.y)) for a general position.

Sorry, but that just looks lazy. For starters, a Gameboy Color's color scheme is definitely not that limited. While it's true that an individual sprite is limited to three colors, most sprites were made by overlaying sprites on top of each other, which pushes your limit up to 12 colors. Don't limit yourself to the point that it looks bad. Even an old-school palette can look good if done correctly.

The second problem is that the outlines don't really mesh with the color palette. It might work on other sprites (ie: simple SNES-style sprites you want to reduce to look like GBC sprites), but not on full-sized fighter sprites.

Notice that the black outlines cover the entirety of the sprite. It makes sense in that case. Additionally, the design philosophies are different. In smaller sprites like those with those limitations, the emphasis is less on making it look amazing than it is to make someone be able to think "Oh that's Buu" when they see it. When the sprites get bigger, it's easier to identify something naturally, so the artist is able to use more colors, hence why Buu doesn't have a single-colored outline.

This write-up does a good job explaining the differences (http://2dwillneverdie.com/tutorial/fix-my-sprite-volume-3/)

I left a bit of light in the shorts because I thought they could stay like that. Of course, they can also have no light at all.

Actually, the only thing wrong with Alex's fixes was the lighting he put for the shorts, it looked more pleasing to the eyes in Barker's first iteration. This reminds me of something Rolento said on his spriting tutorial:

Rolento said:
While it's good to be as technically correct as possible, the sprite's appearance is the final decider. To paraphrase some advice I've gotten in the past, if something is correct but looks wrong, then it's wrong. If something isn't quite right but it looks good, then it's good.

I think if we take Alex's body modifications and Barker's shorts (LMAO), then MB Buu will be top notch. Just my $0.02.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude I hope you make this!

I wish I could sprite Z2 like you, but sadly I can only sprite like the rest of the DBZ Chars. So yeah!
Although I have been making a mugen character, putting in the sprites, and animations!
Also do you still have the Buutenks sprites? and if so do you still plan on making him a Mugen Char?

I'm glad you like it. :) We're definitely going to finish this one.

The Buutenks stuff was never scrapped, but he wont be made into a full character any time soon. With Gotenks, Piccolo, and Super Buu now being made there isn't much point. Now, there is potential we could see him appear in an intro/finishing move/ outro. But none of that is for certain.

Honestly, the new stance looks too jittery. especially his right (viewer left) elbow and forearm.  It doesn't quite look like one fluid motion.
Might just a case of less is more... but then again, it could just need a bit smoothing and cleaning.

On another note, that back-dash (?) is awesome. I love everything about it.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]

On that back-dash, I think his shoes should begin appearing sooner in the animation - the color just pops up in way too suddenly.

I think they should be more like the armbands, which start off smaller then grow to normal size.

Post by: AugustAPC on September 18, 2015, 09:00:17 pm
I actually kinda like how they form out of the pants. Somehow I feel like I saw similar animations from the anime... where the color would come in like that.

I might be wrong... it just seems very familiar.

I think for the backdash, you could show the shoe colors slowly coming back in so that the transition looks a bit more natural (well as natural as Buu can get). Other than, it's beautiful.

I like the pants on the new stance, but the upper body of the old stance. Maybe there's some way to get the "bounce" from the new stance without being so rubbery?

Backdash is great though.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: MotorRoach on September 20, 2015, 10:17:23 pm
I mostly prefer the newer stance because it has a little more movement to it in a way it makes the stance feel less generic.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: Odb718 on September 21, 2015, 08:40:34 am
The new stance is a lot betting in my opinion. The only thing that could be a little better is his right elbow POPS for 1 or 2 frames. Like it disappears for a frame. The 6th frame the nubby part is gone for a frame. Maybe knock down frame 5 and 7 because I think it looks great.

LOVE that roll kick morph move!
If you went 1 step further and made it do a complete loop, you could make it into a special. Sort of like Fei Long's 3 punch special.
LK = the animation above
MK= Full 360
FK= 540 rotation so the morph move is at the end.

That is merely the case, because I haven't had the chance to implement his most recend feedback yet:

"When you have the butt head pop out have a few ticks of tension as his butt bulges before it pops through."

Iced is a genius. Every genius likes butt jokes.

Iced is a genius. Every genius likes butt jokes.

I like European female butt-related jokes, am I an artistic genius now?  :llama:

Ignore that, and allow me to get back on topic by saying that the part in the first anim where the head pops out can be easily implemented to the 2nd anim while applying Iced's feedback about the ticks of tension. I whole-heartily recommend you go with mixing up the two anims (or at least the parts mentioned; in this case, head popping out in 1st anim, and the entirety of the 2nd one), as it gives it a..... how can I describe it? It gives it a Tom & Jerry/Disney/Merry Melodies vibe that I ABSOLUTELY
love.

Lovely progress, please continue on your way. ^_^

There's a couple things I'm a bit iffy on.

First, I think there should be some motion blur when he whips his head-tendril forward.
Second is when he's leaning forward, the shading his chest seems a bit too heavy.

Otherwise it looks much better.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: hatter on September 29, 2015, 02:10:23 am
As usual, good job guys. And I agree with August on his feedback, some SF3 motion blur when the head tendril goes forward would give it a nice punch, and the chest looks... like a Wilson basket ball :XD:

I think integrating the shape of the chest of the old anim into the new would make it perfect. It's fine shading wise, but the shape is totally strange.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 (Inspired) [Project]
Post by: Balthazar on September 29, 2015, 10:10:51 am
Oh I agree on the chest in the new version, when he leans forward his peck turns into a ball! And his neck/throat disappears.
It looks pretty weird. I did a little version of my own, this might help you out with his anatomy a little bit.
(well don't go around redoing your entire sheet, it looks great otherwise, just be wary of those bloated pecks)

Post by: Barker on September 30, 2015, 02:43:32 am
Having him inhale is kinda silly to me, but he will have dialog like "Turn to chocolate!" and stuff like that. The expression is blank right now because I'll be drawing an animated mouth and layering it over top.

Trying to apply some feedback. Adjusted some of the body, chest uses flatter lines, extended the head further from the body, and motion blur scribbles as the tentacle is flipping over his head.

It looks amazing. If you were decided to invest more time into the animation, viewer's left leg needs some transition/retooling/polishing on a pixel level. As it stands now, it looks jumpy and rough around the edges.

But if you leave it as it is, I bet very few would notice ;)

I love the concept, i love the facial expression and overall it's a great animation. The only thing i don't like is the way you animated the pants, they are visibly divided into "sections" that moves up and down (see his right knee). The upper body was animated the same way i guess but it's not that pronounced, in fact i like it very much!

=========SUPER BUU========
The God eater

Gluttony incarnate, the creature named Buu was concocted by Wizard Bibidi to kill the Gods.
He is made of a rubbery pink substance and can absorb more creatures inside him, gaining their abilities and bits of their personality.
He is both childish and dangerous, showing bursts of intelect amidst his savage fighting style.

Buu is based off the concept of Arabian Genies( Djinns) , with the tail on his head being reminiscent of how genies have a smoke trail.

They write their own material. They take inspiration from the series, but give their characters' unique lines. I do agree, though, that having him speak too much is out of character for him. He usually just speaks in short, broken sentences.
Instead of saying the whole Trick Or Treat rhyme, I'd imagine him saying something like, "Trick...or...treat?....Treat...", In sort of a guttural, intimidating way.
His Z2 dialogue is coming across a little too articulate and silly...kinda Joker-esque.  He was really intimidating and primal in the series. He had a twisted edge to him, but it wasn't like he was trying to fuck with your head. He's really straight to the point, and I think that's what's missing here.
I'm reminded of when Chi-Chi came up and hit him while he was waiting for Gotenks to train. He simply says to her, "Do you like eggs?" Then he turns her into one and smashes her. Straight to the point, but still really fucked up.

Thats the longest sentence he has, if i was just linking to grunts no one would be able to tell what the voice actor sounds like!


Super buu is actually pretty articulate, he interrupted his fights to make short but concise declarations and every game he was in had him talk. The one that talked savagely and only spoke barely was Kid buu.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zozGk_GCFJQ
 
Quote
Super Buu: I was promised a good fight. Produce the challenger. Which one of you is it? Don't be shy. Come forward. The time has arrived.
Videl: What's an hour? It's no big deal! Unless you're scared! Is that it, Buu?
Super Buu: Loud-mouth girl! You should die!
Super Buu: Very well. This Majin Buu will wait one hour. Then I will kill you all.


Quote
i don't remember him saying any of those
You never noticed Vegeta talking on the phone with Bulma, Bulma literally stepping up and threatening opponents, Majin stating the m on his head stands for Murder , Gohan having a speech about becoming a storm?

Half our dialogue is original, its one of the positive things of having voice actors.  So nah, he didnt say any of those, although he has most of his spoken dialogue dubbed by the new actor as well.
Even stuff like
"Should I chew you to bits, or lick you to death?" and "Your failure means the end of everything."
that were spoken in his further fused forms.

But really im surprised you never noticed all the original voice actors are speaking original dialogue =|

Post by: AugustAPC on October 15, 2015, 01:34:30 pm
There were a few moments in the series where he spoke with a fair amount of articulation. Even then, though, there were still very distinct mannerisms. His sentences were all very short and to the point, but also slightly irregular, for lack of a better word.
"This Majin Buu will wait one hour."
"Produce the fighter! PRODUCE!"
"Buu make you dead! What Buu say, Buu do! NOW YOU DIE!"
Even when he's at his most articulate, there's still a rudimentary element to his speaking. His extended dialogue is also pretty really far and few between. Also, I just don't think any of his dialogue in the series matches the tone of reciting the entire 'Trick or Treat' rhyme. That seems too deliberate, like he's trying come off a certain way... again much like the Joker. The feeling I got from Super Buu was that he just wanted to kill, destroy and eat candy... and anything that slowed him down from doing so pissed him off. Kinda like an impatient child.

I feel like pure evil buus shading is a little weird but other than that it looks good!
the colour of his pants is different and his head seems squashed

(http://i.imgur.com/1oVYXu1.png)

On Evil Buu, his second darkest shade needs more contrast. It blends too much with the third darkest and makes him lack muscle definition. Also, his jaw a bit too concave. Looks like his face is being sucked into itself.

Post by: Barker on October 19, 2015, 03:34:42 pm
Adjusted the head and palette. The pants are different on purpose. Edit: the gloves and boots have too much contrast but it's fine for now.

The plan for this intro is meant to be a quick transformation. Fat Buu will probably just appear in chocolate form.

Looks nice! The main thing that sticks out to me is the shading on his cape, the overhanging bit (on the left),
the shading makes it look very thick, poofy, while it should be flat, thin. So, especially on that lower part that curls inward,
I think you can remove the darker shades and leave it filled in with just the lightest shade. I would do a quick edit as an example but you posted the sprite zoomed-in :P (and I didn't want to use the one you posted earlier since its outdated).

Going back to the voice, I feel like we could benefit from a deeper, scarier sounding Buu. I did some very amateur sound editing with the following results.
Here's some assorted dialogue:

I'm here to nitpick, that's a wonderful animation.
- The hand during the charging section is a little bit weird, kinda blobby, even the way it opens.
- The pectorals during the shooting seems a bit "overshadowed", they don't share the same style of shading you used on the rest of the body.
- As City_Hunter said it could use even only one more frame for the transition.
- Maybe some shaking on the pants?

Other than that i gotta say you're doing a great job on his facial expressions, the mouth is perfect and gives buu a great personality.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Barker on October 24, 2015, 08:04:52 pm
Thanks guys, I just addressed some of the feedback and noticed some other small things that were off. The hands are blobby because of an early decision we made in the thread to merge buu's fingers into a sort of glove/mitten. The pants I could animate, but if we add screen shake wouldn't it be sort of unnecessary?

Here's a (very early) look at crouching HP:

I kinda feel like it might be better if he had a closed fist when he's lifting his hand into the air. It has a bit of a casual feel to it, making it seem a little less epic. If he's clenching his fist it may give the feeling that he's charging the blast. Or maybe having him gritting his teeth when he's creating the blast? Something to give it some oomph.

Post by: Thammy on October 24, 2015, 11:25:51 pm
I feel like there's frame missing towards the end, just before he enters the final pose. It looks a tad choppy.

Also, I'm probably overthinking it, but won't it look weird when Buu starts looking at the screen instead of his opponent during battle?

i never saw how the " genocide blast " as they call it was ever a good idea in games. how is it even usable in combat? i think if he aimed directly at the opponent and had the attacks come after him like homing blasts it would be a lot better. although this does look cool.. or as dub vegeta says.. Mondo Cool
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AugustAPC on October 28, 2015, 10:37:11 am
It's probably more cinematic... as in he will hit them with an attack that puts them in a stunned state and then do the genocide attack and cause the blasts to rain down on the enemy.
That's my guess, anyway.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Balthazar on October 28, 2015, 12:06:41 pm
I'm pretty sure he'll get a launcher or wall-bouncing attack that puts the enemy right above him...then they'll eat all the blasts up their butt.

I believe it's planned to be like Balthazar said: hitboxes above him to hit enemies in the air, and then 3 or more come crashing down to hit standing enemies. There's a few Capcom moves that are good comparisons (Hawkeye, Doom, etc.)
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Odb718 on October 28, 2015, 06:35:41 pm
I was thinking an IronMan where he shoots them all up and they all come down.
Also, Skullomania would be good. He shoots 1 up, and depending on the button press the return timing is different. Skullo also hits on the way up, but 1x instead of 6x.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Thammy on October 30, 2015, 09:09:25 pm
I think it's fine to have as an attack, since it's one of Buu's most iconic moves. Probably only second to Chocolate Beam.

I still think it would look more natural if he constantly faced in the same direction though. Look at Final Bout, where it was a spread shot.
https://youtu.be/c6bRXBf2WEY?t=100 (https://youtu.be/c6bRXBf2WEY?t=100)
There's probably a better video out there for seeing the move, but there's no obvious one that I can find.

Seriously?... You just said: genocide blast (you even put quotation marks) wasn't good in games and then your next question "how is it even usable in combat?".
If you think Genocide Blast isn't suitable for games, then why are you being anecdotal with how usable is it in combat?, this is made for a game and we want it to be flashy and very similar to the original not what you think you want. (OR HOW YOU PROBABLY WANT IT TO BE CHEAP JUST TO LOOK GOOD FOR COMBAT)

Well I'll tell you, I've played all and will play all upcoming TEKKEN games and for sure TEKKEN is all about flashy combats and people enjoy it.

i think he went bananas over my comment on how i generally never understood how that attack would work in combat (considering in dbz you might as well get blitzed trying that). i didn't say i didn't like it, i just never understood how it could work in a non stationary situation, like a fight. it's quite a dumb thing to "fight" about it was a pointless rant imo
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Odb718 on November 04, 2015, 03:43:15 am
I nail my friends with Skullomania's move that's extremely similar. Trip or air fall you know they're not getting up fast from, right into the move. They dont have time to attack so they go into a forced block setting up other opportunities for one.
You might not be able to combo into it, but if P2 missed an ultra or a special with a long recovery you can hit with similar moves.
If Ryu throws an air ultra that's way off target you have all the time in the world.

These moves have their uses.

I know you guys have been talking about this being a super move for a while now, and I know it might be a little too late,
But I was thinking it would look great as a finisher move.
Maybe after the pre-finisher combo ends, the opponent falls at Buu's feet, behind Buu or anywhere really; and Buu, standing in the middle of the screen, proceeds to perform the Genocide Blast as all the Ki blasts fall randomly across the screen hitting the opponent in the process and everywhere across the stage until the screen turns white due the amount of explosions all around.
Just an idea

Nothing's ever too late! (unless it's too late)
We went with this expression because it's straight from the anime and it's neutral (also we might be animating a mouth overtop)

Just an idea
For now it's going to stay as a super. We have 3 really good finishers in mind. :) The one is going to be so much fun to sprite!

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Barker on December 08, 2015, 01:04:17 am
It'll probably be his close-range MP, as well as being his focus attack.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Biff McGheek on December 08, 2015, 01:13:09 am
Oh, ok. I know Goku's Focus Attack is called Slash Chop in his readme so I thought that was the name of the move for Z2 characters. However I feel that, with Buu's stretchy body and unorthodox moveset, it might be interesting for him to have a focus attack the hits on both sides of him. Maybe like a whirlwind move where the charging animation would be him winding his upper body like a spring and then spinning really fast. It would be unique and could work well as an anti-crossup move. That's just my opinion though and it might be a b*tch to animate.

Idk if it's just me, but that fist blur looks really odd.  Like how the trail starts much further back from where his armband originates, and how his hand doesn't look like it's flopping enough for the two different blur angles to look convincing.

I love the sprites, i don't really like the transitions from idle to attack(maybe they lack a frame or two?). Other than that i don't really quite get the shading you're applying to his body, some parts of his body are shaded with a coherent understanding of the light source and some aren't like his left side (arm and leg) or the pectorals. Why are the pecs shaded to seem darker than the abs?

I love the sprites, i don't really like the transitions from idle to attack(maybe they lack a frame or two?).
These are light variants of standing punch/kick, not really looking for high frame counts here.

Being a little more specific would help here :P. For the air kick, the "falling frames" are kind of ugly and they should be redrawn (they're quite old now). For the pecs I tend to overuse the 2nd darkest shade, so I can cut that down a bit.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Diepod on January 29, 2016, 08:33:14 pm
I notice a lot of the attack animations lack a sense of pivoting. Punches require turning hips and shoulders.

Of course Buu isn't natural so... idk.

Also its a bit too easy to see which frames are copied and shifted. I'm sure HQ knows what I'm getting at.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: MegaSobi on February 01, 2016, 12:25:51 am

I'd suggest adding a frame before the actual punch where he draws back the punching arm and the foremost arm comes a little forward. The jab kinda reminds me of Sol's air dust animation, but on the ground. Maybe a quicker version of this?

I know this horse has had the shit kicked out of it... but I just wanted to see what he'd look like without such heavy shading on his pectorals. I just took a few frames and quickly lightened the chest a bit. (added Gohan just to compare the shading of the pecs)

I didn't say anything before because Barker was nailing the rest of the character so damn great, I didn't think a little bit of KOF styled gradient shading was too important. I think it does look more consistent to the style's shading and it's good.

Post by: Thammy on February 18, 2016, 06:16:24 pm
I feel like the Ill Ball is a little to bright, but Buu's always about the bright colours, so maybe that's fine. It might also look better when we see it moving across the screen.

The candy beam looks fine to me. But for some reason, I can't help but interpret it as Buu having projectile dysfunction. He just can't keep his beam up.

I guess it looks fine in-game, but I don't see the appeal with the dithering, since all Z2 characters usually have "solid" effects for their attacks. Something like SSJ Goku's aura effect when he does his super rush would work in my opinion.

Post by: AugustAPC on February 19, 2016, 12:13:53 am
I personally never really envisioned much of an aura around him on his cannonball move. I'd have to see it in game to really form an opinion. His candy beam looks great.

I'm glad to hear you're touching up the shading on his pecs. You've done such an excellent job with Buu and the rest of his anatomy.

Yeab I'm not a huge fan of the dithering either. I think a better effect (and more in-line with what an old-school Capcom Arcade game would do) would just be to make the spark completely invisible every other tick. It tricks the brain into thinking it's transparent, and it's Arcade-accurate!

I think there needs to be a bit of blur or something with the one on the right. It doesn't look like Buu has two left arms instead of moving from one position to the other.

Why not add a blur like Duo Lon's ground kick?

Yes, it's a Lv1 only. I agree it's a bit tame compared to when he does this attack in the anime. I think we could add a few blasts. Maybe we can also boost the move when used in his emo mode, or indeed reuse it as a Lv2 or as one of his finishers and then go all out with it.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Cybaster on June 06, 2016, 11:01:59 am
Reusing it as a Lv2 may be the option to give more consistency to the game, sort of like Goku's Lv1 kamehameha is just a Shinku Hadouken (for gameplay purpose), while Lv2 Kamehameha is the real deal. Same could be done for Buu.

The inching forward is cool, but adding a wave at the bottom helps.

Okay guys I want your feedback on the puddle mode, what do you feel about it? From seeing it operate?


Here are the deeds, by pressing down down and holding down you enter a second stance.
In this stance you can't attack but your hitboxes are minimal and you can't be grabbed.
Once hit you are thrown into getup anim, forcing you out of the stance.

You can enter the secondary stance in two more ways.

By holding Down while using aerial SK ( the sleepy bye bye attack) where Buu passes zout mid jump and sleeps until he connects with the floor.
By holding down when shooting his Maniac ball attack against the floor.

Buu is being developed to have weird basics, which include attacking from anatomically impossible poses and using all parts of his body to attack.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AugustAPC on June 20, 2016, 11:53:16 am
I think the animation needs work. Someone mentioned that the goop should kinda roll, like in waves. Right now it just kinda stretches and contracts.
As for the function, how long is the recovery when you get out of it? You can't attack in the mode, so do you recover quickly enough for a cross-under mix-up? If it's too reactable, I'd probably want to stay near it and punish it when he exits the mode.
Glacius has a similar move in Killer Instinct, and he uses it to low-profile fireballs and sometimes close distance when he's being out-zoned. He also has an ability where he liquidizes and travels a certain distance and goes immediately into an uppercut. This can also cross-up opponents if they're close enough. Maybe you guys should look to that character for some solid data on how it effects his play.
It seems like a decent concept for an escape function, or maybe to make some attacks safe if you can cancel into it.... but it's offensive potential is hard to gauge without knowing more.
Also hard to know if I'd use it without knowing Buu's full move-set and style. If he doesn't have any moves that have strong synergy with it., for like strong set-ups or whatever.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AlexSin on June 20, 2016, 11:55:59 am
- How long can he stay as a puddle?
- At 0:51 and at 0:58 he should spin the other way when going upwards or downwards (he should spin anti-clockwise);
- I just noticed that his aerial SK (Sleepy bye-bye attack) sprite has fingers on his hands while in most of his other sprites he hasn't.

Also I feel like this post was overlooked so I'm quoting this:
I don't like the way Buu moved when he was a puddle.

He's meant to be able to stay in it as far as he wants right now, but he can be attacked by any low attacks, he can avoid any fireballs with it.  His getup is not invulnerable and he can't attack straight out of it. It's main function is avoiding and fast moving. He trades all possibilities of attacking for his vcery high mobility. Ideal way to use it, avoid fireball spam by madly dashing under them, popup  and attack .

Ive been toying with the idea to give him a wakeup attack out of it but right now it would be extremely cheap.

EVerything is bound to change depending on how he does during beta testing tho.

His specials moveset right now is as follows.

Maniac ball, a changing direction rolling attack, where he can change direction once during the flight ( Ex allows for several flight changes)
Turn to chocolate! A cursing move, hits only close to him, turns opponents into a non attacking, non defending candy form that wobbles around. Opponents revert on a hard hit.
Pop up kick : otg kick that pops up at several different distances.
HARK: spitting move, its an arc traveling fireball.

His odd basics are his main strenght, the other attacks give him his own flavour.

Hypers are still being fleshed out so I will hold out on talking about those for now.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AugustAPC on June 20, 2016, 12:44:27 pm
Well, with Glacius, he actually has two separate commands. One where he can just liquidize and move on the ground with low-profile... pretty much identical to what Buu currently has, if I understand correctly. Then he has his puddle-punch, which has him liquidize and move a set distance and come out immediately into an uppercut. So... it's more of a commitment, you can't just liquidize and move anywhere and then attack. It sorta works like Yang's rolling kick, except it will cross under an opponent and auto-correct for a mix-up.
Not sure if that's an avenue you guys would want to explore... I'm sure there's plenty of variations on the concept that could be played with.

It seems like HARK might have some potential to mesh with puddle mode. I guess it depends on the projectile arc and speed. I was thinking if you could throw a full-screen HARK and have enough time to go into puddle-mode and travel to your opponent, you could use the block-stun of the HARK projectile to cover your get-up animation and start some pressure, or get a mix-up.

One of the Hypers is featured on the video, so we can also explain its behavior

Heavy Rain Lv1
Buu launches 6-7 fireballs into the sky which will fall on top of the enemy after some delay. The button press will determine the scattering of the different projectiles on the screen.
Due to the delay, it will be used as combo starter or mid-in-combo (start hitting the enemy before the projectiles fall to the ground)

It maybe too lite for this but I had a suggestion for his "Pink Projectile Thingy" Have a version where Buu shoots the ball in a straight line with it's movement slowed. It'll help Buu when he's moving in a flying ball himself or in a puddle around the screen.

Though it would work fine in a closed environment such as HDBZ, I recall them saying they wanted the characters to be identical between the game and regular MUGEN, which would mean the attack would be useless against all but Z2 characters unless copying a non-compatible character gives Buu a random move, or they compiled a huge list of characters.

I personally don't feel the need for such a thing.

Im confused, those are the same moves that he used in that fight.


Maniac ball and GACK!, one is a multi hitting ball attack where he rolls himself and hits the opponent, changing directions mid shooting and the other is a vomit attack where he barfs out a large ammount of energy.

No he wont have those moves as finishers.


Sorry Thammy, i didnt recognize your sarcasm at first.



Super buu will be using his "Kill you" move as a level 3, following it he shall do one of 3 finishers.

They are going to be moves that usually wouldnt be possible to use during normal gameplay. Nothing as complex as Freeza supernova, but expect some really cinematic-like finishers.

The reason Balthazar didn't do the M is because of how troublesome it is to sprite. These are just single sprites so I don't have to worry about consistency in a full sheet. :) I should also mention that Daeron and Balth contributed the Buubidi and Saibuuman sprites.

A detail, but I have the feeling Buucolo is smaller than Buutenks. Seems kind of strange, since Piccolo is kind of a tall guy.

I don't recall Super Buu showing any kindness to Mr Satan in the anime while in his Super form.

Just after he transformed in Super Boo, he rushed on Mr Satan (and the dog) to kill them, but stopped suddenly and left, making Satan realize there was still some fat Buu's influence inside him.

Also, he accepted to give Piccolo some time at Kami's lookoot when he discovered Videl was indeed Satan's daughter ("she has the same smell than Satan" :D ).

No, that's not a stupid question, in fact ;)

If most cases a "X vs Y" does not require specific dialogues, but it would be very surprising to have for example a Gohan vs Piccolo with the 2 characters speaking to each other as if they didn't share a special link or didn't even know each other.

While we had  some specific lines at t he beginning, if we create those then someone who is stuck in a fight in arcade mode is stuck always seeing the same intros and winposes against that character. That happened a lot with goku vs vegeta in the first build, so now we are trying to avoid doing a lot of those "specific" intros and winposes, also specific winquotes and etc.

Post by: Thammy on July 30, 2016, 11:32:22 pm
I don't know anything about the specific limitations of MUGEN, but wouldn't it be possible to have the use of character specific intros be randomly determined? I'm thinking something like:



      if enemyCharacter = specificCharacter
      {
         rnd = random number from 0 and 1
         if rnd > 0.6
         {
            characterSpecificIntroAnimation
            return
         }
      }
      randomIntroAnimation



I know MUGEN script is totally different, just wondering. If you could do something like this that randomly chooses between performing a character specific intro animation and a regular intro animation, wouldn't that still get the variety?

Post by: Barker on July 31, 2016, 07:55:19 pm
There aren't any character specific intros being planned for Buu. All of the voice work accounted for this.

"You want to fight Majin Buu?"
"What Buu say, Buu do! Now you die!"

      - Obviously a reference to his fight with Gohan, but it works against every fighter.

"This is your final hour."
      - Reference to the fight in the Time Chamber, but it works in every situation.

"All you people do is talk!"
     - Direct from the anime/manga. Works against every fighter.

Basically, we want Buu to say cool stuff that can be applied to all situations. Maybe this isn't what people want, but that's the approach we're taking.

Post by: LightScarecrow on August 13, 2016, 11:46:19 am
This seems like a awesome addition to the roster.
When Buu beats Piccolo, Gotenks and Gohan, he should have a special animation where he absorbs them.
Also, as a special intro against Gohan, it could have the classic "You want to fight Majin Buu?" "Fight you? No, I wanna kill you" quote.
For Gotenks, maybe he can say that he won't fall for the Ghost Attack again or something. I don't really know.
Keep up the good work.
EDIT: Oh, and about the Kirby thing. That could work like Twelve's X.C.O.P.Y from 3rd Strike, but with a different startup. In X.C.O.P.Y, Twelve just jumps and turns into the character. Following how he absorbed people, this could work like throwing a projectile or something ( as he absorbs using parts of his body that completely cover the victim up ).

Post by: Iced on October 10, 2016, 03:29:25 pm
Lets talk sub systems.

Buu has stow special systems that no other characte rhas.

Chaos burst and Puddle stance

Puddle stance can be acchieved in several manners. You can perform a command attack on midair to fall into it, perform maniac ball and aim it at the ground or use its specific command.

While on puddle mode, he has absolutely zero attack options, he can however move very fast. Hes not invulnerable, he can be shot, bombed, kicked, the whole deal, but his hitboxes are very small during the whole thing and his speed increases.

Use it to slap vegeta in the butt after you have dodged his tantrums.




Chaos burst is the move to go for when you got hit by a combo thats building up to be really damaging, at any point after a couple of hits comboed.
It does no damage, but you can escape into puddle mode while exploding Buu body, and run the fuck away.
Use it on those opponents that like to trap you between attacks and cheap you out on wins by comboing you for 20 minutes, turn into a puddle and vomit on them!! That will teach them a lesson or two.

Have to admit, the last Buu video I was worried that the movement (as in the gameplay) seemed a bit too restrictive. The new video has dispelled my fears; the Z2 Quality (TM) is clear when you see him in action.

I noticed quite a bit of size changing in his animations, stance is still a bit jerky, but I'm trust that stuff will get ironed out over time. Looks like hes coming together.

Unfortunately the sprites and animations from early on aren't great, since I used this project to learn. :(  I won't be doing a full revamp, as to not get burnt out. Hopefully folks can look past a few ugly frames, and look forward to whatever character I might do next.

I'm loving how you're going with the version of Buu that I actually thoroughly enjoyed! (As in, I didn't really like Kid Buu at all, and I don't think that Fat Buu was all that fit to be a villain, though I did enjoy the moments where Hercule befriended Buu).

All that opinion jazz aside, really nice project going here! Can't wait for him, Gotenks and Piccolo later down the road!

Keep up the awesome work, you Magnificent Bastards at Team Z2

Also,may i ask you, Are Buu's coder? Helper?   Or the guy who orchestrates the whole thing? (codes,ideas etc.)
At this point,Buu probably reached the finish line and waits for the others to be fully done  :mlol:

If Buu will looks like Barker's current avatar,im sold  :o

Only the really bad sprites have been remade. It would be too much work to go back and redraw everything. This is my first spriting project, and I don't really plan to be stuck with it. Especially when there are other things I would like to invest time into.

At the very least, he should be fun to play as! And the newer sprites hopefully look pretty good.

The avatar I made for an unrelated project. I might convert it into an absorbed form.

It's difficult for a spriter to redraw and redraw his sprites, it's important to move foward. The more you sprite, the more you improve, and it's not easy to say "Ok, my character is enough good right now, let's keep it that way". It's easy to fall into the infinite restyle sprite.

In my opinion your super buu is very good Barker. I really like your style and it inspire me a lot, he is the character which make me very interested again in low resolution sprite.

Can't wait to play combos with him and see... the next one ;)
Enough kind words for tonight ;)!

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Iced on February 16, 2017, 11:05:55 am
He actually never really stopped getting progress done, its just that most of the times the updates are to things that screenshots just wont convey.

NEW SPECIAL:

Head Tosser ( alternate title: Dont lose my head! ) :
Buu slaps his head down on the ground angrily.

Depending on strenght the head repositions itself ( behind buu, where it hit the floor or beyond Buu) and remains in wait as a puddle.

When the command is used again the head pops back up and rushes on to buu, it will bite anything in its way,.

New Super move
LV1
HERE comes the PAIN TRAIN( Alternate title: Choo choo)
Buu Rushes forward, trampling anything in his path, can OTG,
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AgentofDestiny on February 16, 2017, 11:42:32 am
Now I got curious,what does Pain Train look like?

That combined with Gotenks' Boar Attack on the opposing side and you have an epic clash.
"The Pain Train cannot be stopped,BUU YAH!!"  xD

Also,the head thing is a Merkava's move,in an essence.
https://vid.me/TYN0 (https://vid.me/TYN0)
*Not that im complaining.
It just looks alright.

EDIT:Now i've noticed something......   Merkava drops his own hand while Buu drops his own head,so Buu for the win? xD
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Iced on February 16, 2017, 11:44:48 am
The pain train is the screenshot I posted before the head one, where buu is running forward and Goku is being carried away.

It does beat Boar attack , Boar attack is completely ran over.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AgentofDestiny on February 16, 2017, 11:51:44 am
It does have the same start frame as the Shout Focus Attack and the "diagonical"? mouth beam attack,quite the unpredictability.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Iced on February 16, 2017, 11:53:15 am
( Actually it has its own start frames, and buu announces "Here comes the pain train! CHOO CHOOOOOO" ) but its extremely tough.

Post by: AgentofDestiny on February 16, 2017, 11:58:59 am
Nice,the "BUU YAH" could be nice too but the "choo choo" is fine.
I cannot imagine that in Buu's voice,that's silly xD

In case you didn't know,i was not sarcastic in my last post (nor did i intend to)
i actually meant it,that it's quite unpredictable if it has the same start frame as the others.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]

buu's gameplay sounds so weird and unique, I love it.

how would you guys (iced and hdbz team) describe his gameplay personally?
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: JustNoPoint on February 16, 2017, 06:41:45 pm
Pressure and keep away machine. Dude has so many ways to pin you down and attack from far off.

Arching projectile, head toss, and foot plant are great keep away tools

Cannon Ball and puddle mode give him what he needs to move around screen very well

Then he has his arching beam, powerful EX barf, energy rain, and teleport fireballs supers to aid in pressure and keep away

Then to make matters worse his ChooChoo super has super armor

So yeah, this guy will be a real pain to deal with!
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Barker on February 16, 2017, 07:45:19 pm
And even if you get in close, he can use his bar to combo break! He's a beast.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]

Post by: lui on February 16, 2017, 09:07:29 pm
does he have any counters or weaknesses? jeezus he sounds powerful
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: XGargoyle on February 16, 2017, 09:15:19 pm
Well, let's see:
He has an EX move that works as a combo breaker in addition to the Zetto counters every HDBZ character has
He has a move that turns the enemy into a candy, similar to Babidi's curse. Once the enemy is candied, it could be eaten
He has delayed attacks that will hit after some time, allowing for setups and traps

As for weaknesses, so far (but this could change later):
He deals less raw damage than other characters
Delayed attacks can easily whiff if the enemy knows how to avoid the traps
Some attacks leave a big opening, allowing for easy enemy counters

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: JustNoPoint on February 16, 2017, 09:23:51 pm
Yeah we make them super strong then kinda work down from there. Sometimes we don't work down enough like with the Piccolo beta (though that was the point of the beta) and ssj Goku. But we get it eventually!
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AgentofDestiny on February 16, 2017, 11:45:23 pm
About Buu,does he have an arm stretching punch? (or something where he streches his arm to abnormal distance)
If so,will it be important in his Emo Mode?   (kind of like Piccolo's stretching  claw punch )

It kind of bothers me when the Z2 chars are too op, IS THERE AN EASY to FACE Z2 CHAR ANYWAY?  :p
Even against ai i eat a lot of dirt (those that have ai anyway),or will i get the "Git Gud" reply?.....

Against human players,it is a bit  harder xD

EDIT:In other words,the ai is brutally hard (for me at least)
        and then,you say the Z2 chars are beasts to face xD
Some say that game developers are sadists,i guess they are right :mlol:
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: JustNoPoint on February 16, 2017, 11:51:24 pm
He will get a stretchy sSP but it won't be important to his emo mode. You'll charge it by using power charge.

Post by: AgentofDestiny on February 17, 2017, 12:00:37 am
Good,you said before that Piccolo is a throw character of sort.

From what you know Jnp or from what you Z2 guys revealed what type is Buu then?
From your words,i would call him a Beast of a "Zone" character.

Im kind of surprised he isn't fully done yet,the guy didn't go through pause,like Gotenks and Piccs did xD

Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: The Sudden Rarity on February 17, 2017, 01:22:13 am
With TeamZ2 characters, from what I've seen, the basics (walk, run, back walk, back dash, jumping, ducking and gethits), normals (punches, kicks, grabs, blocks) and some simple specials are done first so that they can be coded into the character first to get a base going.  A punching bag that can sort of fight back, if you will.  Spriting/revision continues alongside the coding process.

I'm not speaking for TeamZ2, only basing the process off observation.

Post by: JustNoPoint on February 17, 2017, 01:42:33 am
Technically it depends on the talent level of the person. But like I coded Piccolo a lot faster than Balthazar sprited in most cases. But it depends on the complexity of the Sprite and code really. In most cases I'd say coding is easier and faster.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Odb718 on February 17, 2017, 02:02:42 am
As someone who'd decent as both, ART takes way longer.
People who've never done art before have no idea how long it takes. Think of it like dreaming. You sleep for 8 hours and the dream feels either like an eternity or an hour. Either way you think of it, the scale is waaay off. Either it took an eternity to draw the thing, or you work on it for 8 hours and it looks like it took 1. Works of art, REAL works of art takes HUNDREDS of hours. Then a regular person wants to buy it for $40. Cuz working for 4 pennies an hour is a real thing. 300xminimum wage>2,000.
Now think of 8x7. Instantly you know 56. Well, if you're good at math. The only thing that takes long in coding is the actual testing, or learning the trick to make things work. Heck, a lot of coding is copy and paste. I mean I have stuff from ALL of my characters in ALL of my characters. I just got done editing my Metroid code from Samus into NoobSaibot.

Draw a circle on piece of paper and see how long it takes. Without using tools*
Then shade it so it looks like a sphere and notice how much the clock's moved.

Not really. Normally, I have to put the characters on hold for some time until new sprites are ready and available.
That doesn't mean coding is easier or harder than drawing sprites, don't get me wrong. It's just that doing changes to a code is faster than doing them on a sprite.

I agree with altoid. That top lump at the top should kinda move forward at the end. Instead of it sticking and settling down, it needs to keep its kinetic energy going forward a bit. I would say even thin out the back edge just a bit to be more ramp shaped instead of the bump. If you take away the actual "spread" animation on the back it may look better just how it's shaped now.

I how a question for Buu,gameplay-wise:

Say,he removes his head to the ground,it stays on the ground in puddle mode unless you call it back.
Then he himself becomes a puddle,can he call it back in puddle mode? or  yet,will it still exist after he becomes a puddle?


Oh and @Odb718:

I wanted to reply to your post but i forgot about it.
First,good job for pretty much being able to do a character on your own :thumbsup:
and second,
/rant

what do you mean by that? why are you ranting? :mlol:
I don't think i offended  spriters or  coders,from observation (and knowing code for this kind of thing has a lot of lines)
i thought code takes more time,take it easy xD

He can go into puddle mode with the head planted. He can't call it back unless he does the call back anim

That means he should go out of puddle mode to call it back,right?
Wonder of the severe head will follow him when he does the call-back anim. and goes into puddle mode
before the severed head reaches him.

You are going to have to play him to find out in such detail.


This was going to be a winpose, not sure if it will get done at this point but no reason not to post it.

Ok, gonna make another suggestion which may or may not have already crossed your mind.

I love this.  However, I think the arms should squeeze next to his body, and maybe even start to fuse together.... and stretch out/get thinner.

rant rant/verb
    1.    speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way.

I didn't take offense at all. But rant seems to be getting it's definition stolen. Kinda like Jealous doesn't mean Envious but somehow people use it that way.
You asked a question that most "normal", non-artistic, people would never think to ask. Working in the art field a regular customer has no clue about art in any form. They think it's extremely easy for artistic people to do because they're artistic. So it should be super easy right? NOPE. When you asked the rant was more like a, FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED response.

Dont get me wrong. Coding you have to be creative too. Sometimes you have to reinvent the wheel to make your new move. It's not a fast process at all.

If you really want to get a sense of how long it takes to do art, Balthazar's youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ8t_tbv9uc) has some videos worth watching. In the link he's literally tracing a picture and it still took 45mins. On top of that, the video starts and he's already in mid-process. How many minutes did it take him to get where he was? Now 45mins x 200+ for a simple character and you get the idea on how much time goes into making the basic moves. And Balthazar is FAST.

and oyea, to the people using Rant as the same thing as Diatribe, STOP. :P

it's not a rant. all the stuff he's saying is very much true, as I too code and sprite (look at my avatar)

I can safely tell you that spriting takes way, way longer. it's stressful as hell and balthazar literally takes an hour or two to finish his sprites with great quality, and he's one of the FAST ONES

That looks surprisingly well on him,kind of old school too    Nice work,Ningen-Sama
Buu's animation looks fine to me.

@Odb718:
Alright,that explains it,in the English language
i see rant be used as something to complain about loudly or show displease with something so i didn't know.
Im surrounded by artistic/handy in drawing people (my whole family,me and my father are not) and a simple sketch takes time but i thought here the char. movement,gameplay mechanism and all takes more time,it seems it does not.

I don't know as full playable characters but im taking a wild guess and say "no"

But Buu will have a winpose where he absorbs fallen opponent and then you'll see a sprite with Buu and the opponent "fused"
all Z2 chars have gotten their sprites for it including Gotenks and Gohan.

In little less words,the closest to BuuhanZ2 and GotenksZ2 you'll ever (probably) see is the single sprites through that winpose.

If for the  winpose of that finisher,
you can have him stand like this:

or you can have a background similar to this:

This can be a crazy suggestion, but you guys considered some small feature for when two Super Buus are fighting in Simul Mode? Like, if a match is over and both Buu Z2 are standing up, sometimes they merge into a Fusion Buu!

LOL this sounds wacky, but it could be just a cool joke to combine palettes and have results like this quick mockup -

Open his sprite with a image editor that work with layers, duplicate the layer, recolor the bottom sprite and erase the upper sprite.

The pals for the 2nd half of Buu would have to be made in advance.
The 2nd half would be a helper with RemapPal, using the same kind of triggers already being used (enemy,name = "xxx"), but probably read from a var instead.

it can just be one sprite displaying the normal pal of that character, and an overlay displaying the normal pal of char number two . still works  It would just take a few vars to be sure its in team mode.

You could control P2 through win-pose phase, changeanim to their Portrait, then use Angledraw scaling... and overlay some details if you want (an Explod from Player 1's states).  Not sure what happens if you pair angledraw rotation with scaling, but maybe that could help make it an even nicer effect.  If you decide to try this, be sure to not display P2's portrait via Explod - it will not scale properly if they have a different local coordinate space from Buu.
With the right triggers in place, you can guarantee it will work correctly otherwise default to another win pose.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Iced on March 28, 2017, 04:26:09 pm
that would probably require you to use sprites already within p2, and that was what i was trying to avoid. I was thinking of having an object from inside buu displayed with the pal from the opponent.

Displaying something already within the opponent sff is possible, we already do that with the cursed forms.

But as you said, you could only really do that by detecting the enemy by name or whatever and applying a preset pal. A lot of work.

But yeah, although 9000,1 is in practically every character, I understand you can't detect whether or not they have the sprite - which means if they are missing the sprite it would result in an error.

I know I took this off topic heh.  So it looks like that's only if you use the "remappal" parameter for the Helper state controller. But you can use the RemapPal controller within the Helper, no problem.
Spoiler: Code from a helper in Jailbot, works perfectly fine in 1.0 (click to see content)
The glow changes Pals, Jailbot does not

*Edit* To clarify, RemapPal affects the pal used by sprites universally - the controller does not have to be used in the helper's code to affect the pal the helper is using.

I think the viewer's left side ankle has to be darkened when his pants flow out enough to darken the front end of his shoe.  There's something about left side crease by the top of his pants, too... the pants movement on either side mirror each other, except for that crease which turns the opposite direction as the crease on the other side.  Just blurting this out as I see you are striving for perfection and this happens to catch my eye

Doesn't seem like a huuuuuge issue to me. I just decided to remake this animation because it's probably the most visible. Piccolo and Tien have really smooth stances, so I felt like Buu's was lacking.

XG has been working on some really cool stuff that we can probably show soon. :)

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
It just looks odd, to me, how the shadow creeps so much down and around all sides of his shoe while only 3px of his ankle get shaded, and 1px of his ankle doesn't darken at all.

I circled the 2 pants creases which don't seem to mirror each other like the rest of the pants movement... I think the one on viewer's left turns in when it should turn out.

So, does he bend over backwards, give his opponent a twisted smile, and then "sludges" to reform, as though he's now hunching forwards? (Probably worded that wrong, but it's hard to explain)
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: altoiddealer on April 06, 2017, 03:43:52 pm
My take on it... I kind of expect Buu to be able to maintain perfect posture with his legs and feet during this taunt.  The way his entire body seems to tip back is not very intimidating to me.  It looks like the movement is too difficult for him to do in good form.

With that said, if you do decide to tweak the taunt to look more "effortless demonstration of flexibility / prowess", then I also recommend making him move his arms more dramatically in a way that would challenge his balance more, like have them swing straight up and back down almost 360 degrees.  You could add an anticipation frame where he bends forward at the waist a bit before snapping back, making it look like an even more difficult pose but by his expression is obviously just a breeze for him.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: Barker on April 06, 2017, 04:51:17 pm
Is there anything you liked about the animation? :)

For serious though, Buu isn't a gymnast. That's not really what we're going for with his movements. I think the way his spine and shoulders move here is very unnatural and that's why we like it.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: AgentofDestiny on April 06, 2017, 06:37:49 pm
What spine? He has no spine :mlol:
Although,in all seriousness,you take advantage of his "boneless bubblegum" physique.
So what looks very unatural for us is very natural for him.

I appreciate the edit, it helps us understand what you mean. But it looks less intimidating, and like he's putting way more effort into it...which was one of your concerns. It looks further away from a "effortless demonstration of flexibility / prowess".
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]
Post by: lui on April 06, 2017, 08:29:43 pm
maybe you should add more in-betweens to make him go downward a lot slower and then when he smiles put like one of those creasing sound effects to give it a more creepy, horror-esque vibes.
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]

Buu goes asleep for awhile.It was shown in his reveal trailer and is shown here now in a screenshot.

I like the melting Buu.
It is a good tip of the hat to the defeated Apocalypse in XVS.

The sprite just looks too stiff for such a flexible, and expressive character.
The pose reminds me of how characters die in MK3. Arms to side, stiff as a board.(http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np3/char/char/gifus/sonya-plop.gif)

I would like that sprite more if Buu was posed like this .(http://imageshack.com/a/img923/6005/5lwTgk.jpg)

Post by: Barker on May 25, 2017, 08:33:14 pm
That's his combo breaker, not puddle mode.

And Alpha, the knockout animation is crazy old. I based it on the sprites from Super Butouden, and you're right that it's a bit rough. To me it's not worth going back and redoing it from scratch, as we're moving on to another character. Not all the frames will be amazing looking, but it's pretty decent for my first creation.

The sprite quality for my next character is a big step-up, so far. I'm excited to show everyone! :)

Buu is freakin ridiculously awesome.
I love everything shown in the video.
Two suggestions:
-He should fall a bit faster in the intro.  I also think he should puddle just a bit longer :)
-When he does his bite attack (@ 0.33), I think the frame with his mouth wide open needs to be a bit longer.  It's a great emphasis that blows by entirely too quickly.  You could sacrifice the transition frame before it.

Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us, we know these projects can take a long time (this one is 1,5 years), but you know you're gonna get something real special for it, no strings attached! Now let's keep building on that pre-release hype...

Is that the "Monkey Steals the Peach" move?

Ahh, by the way, do y'all mind if I ask a gameplay related question? When Buu turns his opponent into candy, instead of eating them can he just stand there and charge his meter? And if so, would that be a net gain for him? I'm asking because there are a few other renditions of the character that have shenanigans like that, and I wanted to know if there was any special consideration for this. I always felt cheap doing it, but at the same time it was pretty useful to beat some of the cheaper characters in my roster, haha.

Indeed, after the enemy is turned into a candy, you CAN just stand there and power up. During testing nobody mentioned if this was too cheap or not. They don't stay in that form TOO long though.

And thanks cidiego but I don't deserve all the credit on this character, please thank Barker and XGargoyle ;)

Says the guy who has been able to test him out for months and not once mentioned it.  :moustache:

Maximiliam streamed Buu yesterday.  If you want to get a look at the character and its varied gameplay.

As soon as possible a beta version will be released and buu's public beta testing will start so look forward to that.

Most complicated Hyper DBZ Character award goes to this guy, i'll be damned if i ever succeed more than 2 different combos without accidently doing so through a miraculous sequence of mashing.

Super cool though

Guys, I feel like Buu's damage is a bit low compared to the other Z2 characters.

I don't know man, his punches and kicks deal a small amount of damage.

you need to git gud at the game and learn his gameplay style in order to take advantage of the damage. head to the discord and ask for tips from the more high level players to help you out

It's true though, his base damage is kinda low :P

If his damage was higher he'd be dealing out ToDs left and right! PPL are already finding near 70% damage combos with 1 super bar

Just remove Saibamen, we will be removing them on the next full update. I need to recode them. They are overall a buggy mess

Oh so you're removing the Saibaimen! Oh well, they've always made me really frustrated. Will you make another bonus char to replace them?
Title: Re: Super Buu Z2 [Project]

I'll recode them and replace them with the nonbuggy version :)
