Dedicated to The King of Pop: Michael Jackson.So I think we can all say that the current MJ's out there...are well.. shit..Theyre overpowered, the sprites look terrible and overall they are just not all that great to look at or play as. So what we have here is two devoted Michael fans who came together in the hopes of making a masterpiece. We've spent 2 years planning, scrapping and revamping , in between the trials of life, not limited to but including,school,death of family members,bad break ups and the loss of our beloved King of Pop. This is it.. the Michael Jackson the Mugen community has been waiting for..UPDATE:NEW SPRITE STYLE IN PROGRESS: Whats Done Both old spriting and coding wise:StanceWalk/MoonwalkJumpingCrouchingAll GuardsAll Get hitsSay hello to my little friendAfterimage teleport5 punches(air crouch stand)4 kicks (air crouch stand..needs 1 more standing kick)3 IntrosSpinPower UpWhats planned:Switch between costumes: Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Thriller, Beat it,BadThe Way You Make Me Feel and Captain EO for hypers and specialsAbility to make the opponent dance with MJMusic from the Michael's Career as a musical recording artist and entertainer such as Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Thriller, Beat It, Bad,The Way You Make Me Feel,Another Part of Me,You Rock My World, We Are Here To Change The World, Trouble,Dangerous,Leave Me Alone,You Can't Win,Hotstreet,StreetWalker,Dont Stop Till You Get Enough and many more!As well as any other things we can think of FIRST VIDEO PREVIEWThE MAJORITY OF WHAT IS SHOWN HERE IS JUST A PLACEHOLDERSprites by Bluframez, Coding by Edward ElricThis is the old sprite style we were using...Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyMore to come!
It's looking interesting... The stance looks a bit off though - since those seem to be based on the Genesis/Megadrive Moonwalker, wouldn't it be simpler to adapt the stance from there?Speaking of which, any plans to use more stuff from that game, like the hat throwing, or maybe a robot transformation super?
The Genesis/Megadrive version was essentially only two frames... Hat throwing is a must. I've been looking into coding it as a stand alone helper..So that he can pick it up off the ground...As for the robot transformation..I'm not entirely sure..Zombie/Werewolf transformations are possibilities though

I recall it being 1 frame only, but from what I recall from MJ's performances, it was rather frequent for him to stay perfectly still for a few seconds, do a bunch of moves in quick succession then go back to a still position:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJxOHD3Bsrw&feature=player_detailpage#t=407sSo I think it would even be in-character - especially if the static pose was different depending on whichever move he used last, but that's just me.

The way you say it, it's kinda a low blow, in the wrong place too.In other news, I'm curious in how you'll implement his Spin into his moveset.
Storm you know better So far we have the spin as a teleport. But of course it will have other uses And he will of course have Thriller thrown in there Dont worry lol
You know I'm just messing with ya! I thought the spin would make a good running animation. you think so?
Dude, it was just distasteful what you did there. I don't care if you thought it was funny or not, others will see what you said as offensive, and to be honest it is very offensive.
Jeez Storm, back off, calm down ! Edward, What do you mean exactly by changing his costumes? It' s palettes or will you actually redraw your sprites multiple times with the different costumes?
