He's the kind of fighter that if you get close to him, you get hurt severely and hurled across the screen immediately. And he also gains moves where he's the one rushing at you, too.
Getsuga Tenshou ("Moon Fang Heaven's Ascent" here) looks cool, Slash Blow -> Omnislash v.5 -> Omnislash combo is damn poweful, Kuuga ("Aerial Fang") is fast and would work well as a diving attack in a classic fighting game, Cross Slash looks hella strong... Sonic Break doesn't look like much, though.

Ah but he's not doing a Dissidia convert! Leaving him free to give him what he wants. I'm just spraying out simple but viable ideas  

The thing with that is that giving him fire-ice-bolt etc. would require more work to make them actually different (and that would ony work to a limit) while it would require you to drop more of what he already has because you can't really give him 50 trillions moves. Giving him the moves he has in Dissidia would already be far more than enough.
He has Getsuga Tenshou as an anti-air, Kyougiri (cross Slash) as a ground short autocombo, Climhazard as a dashing attack, Kuuga as an air diving attack, Hakougeki (Blade Beam) as a projectile, Meteor Rain as a ground super, Braver as a super that can be done both on ground or in the air (air being the Dissidia version, not an immediate drop & slam), Rengiri and Slash Blow as "target combos", Omnislash v.5 as a follow-up super... And I haven't even talked about Garyou Tensei and Sonic Break yet.

Switch: I'll see what I can find myself first, but even if you send them to me I lack any good knowledge of animating. Better to not waste your time perhaps, but I'll see. My primary interests are in Crisis Core first but will try Dissidia as well, just need to find time for it haha

I've got 3ds Max but I think that's more to do with modelling than animating? I never tried to use it to animate, not sure if it's even capable. My use of that program was to port FFXI models over and then use 3DS to render them to make it look good, but I can only do it on a basic level, haven't fiddled with adding light/shadows, etc.

move wise, like Fire, Ice, Bolt, Cure (similar to Crisis Core projectiles)... Barrier (DEF-up? lol)

None of these are in Dissidia. Well, he has Fire-Fira-Firaga but that's all. And I don't think he needs them much...

Ill make the basics first, then put fire-fira-firaga in, in the next few updates after i release him. 

On the topic of Omnislash V5, If i made him do the rush from one side of the screen to he next,, and in AC it goes around all angles of the enemy, should i put an anim of him rushing from the background, to the screen, then away?

Too complicated, for now. I'd say just focus on animating it good and converting it to sprites (dunno how good you are but in my mind that's a shit load of work)

Nope I got home late in the last 3 days and was too tired to try.

I will try this weekend if I'm not working, unsure yet as there could be a need to.

I would say if you have to make any FF character it would need Devil May Cry type gameplay to match it.

Dante (Nero/Vergil) all have similar characteristics/physique/movement to FF-type characters.

AC Cloud is no different, just don't put over the top moves onto it and yesterday give it basic elements to make it more fun to chain stuff together like you can in DMC.

So simple stuff to animate/code, move wise, like Fire, Ice, Bolt, Cure (similar to Crisis Core projectiles)... Barrier (DEF-up? lol). And then you have the trademark limit breaks, all are simple to do as a special. Blade Beam can be a projectile that explodes after a certain range/time (so if p2 dodges it then the smaller fragments of the Blade Beam can still hit p2).

I just think with a classic gameplay setup you might struggle to fill in the animations or find new animations to use for other stuff.

And I agree with God's Anger, it depends on what the "sprites" allow you to do. If you can back flip it'll allow for some no CLSN roll backs, for example.

I'd put Omnislash in there as CPU only (or the once used in AC) to cock tease all FF7 fans out there.

Really wished I learned 3D animation before...

(I edited my previous post, sorry)

First of all, what do the sprites allow you to do ?

If he's using the tool that was mentionned in another topic, he has the 3D model and he can animate it himself. He'll then get to take screenshots to have sprites. If he can animate the model, he can get the sprites.

I don't think it would be our part to choose the gameplay for you.

The gameplay is just horrible. Commands make no sense, the damage is either too low or really too high.
