Introduction:I bet most of you know Kratos from God Of War series! Me and Kratos (MI global mod) decided to mugenize him, and this thread is about our progress on it. Of course we post stuff firstly at our website then occasionaly on the forums, so make sure you're checking the site as often as this thread - http://gowmugen.com.Sprites: Me (DooM)Programming: KratosScreenshots:Perhaps more? Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyVideo Teaser:Palette and Character Animation TeaserGot Questions/Feedback?Feel free to post it in here, of course after reading the whole FAQ section on the project's website.
For Kratos, definitively you need a Sagat Base (SFA/CVS for a Capcom style or SVC for a SNK style), it's the only char I know it has the body Kratos has. But I don't remember what kind of moves he has, since I played very few times the game series...Good luck with your project, I hope you can make a good Kratos in a future
I was talking to the person directly above my post.But thank you, I could always use a good tounge lashing. Anyways, the Kratos in your sig certainly seems to have maintained the style of Kratos.If I didn't know better, I would have guessed that it actually came from a portable game.I'll probably make a more critical examination later.
@DooM:Since we're on the topic of opinions...The sprite in your sig is fine, I just think he needs to be standing in his GoW pose: slouched over, blades in each hand, and legs spread apart. Move-wise, I don't think he should have any kick moves, since he never relied on them in the game. In which case I think he should be a four-button character.I don't think I've ever seen Kratos parry, but he can probably do push block with his shoulder piece. So maybe MvC style would suit him better than CvS or SF3. Actually, I think Kratos would make a good Hulk/Juggernaut clone, just he's shorter and has more speed. He should have quite a couple of throw moves. So there's my two cents. (Since no one else seems to be doing it...)
GoW is one of best Games I've played so I would be happy to see him in Mugen. I think it would be popular due to how popular Kratos is. I think you should go for it. I'm not sure how he would be suit in 2D but I'm curious. If you asking about sprites, I think they cool, but they are not important to me until they resemble Kratos just a little. I'm mainly interesed in gameplay, fighting style etc. Make him highly combo able with alot combo posibilites and you win. Focusing too much on look wouldn't be good idea. I saw too much creations which great look, who suck gameplay wise. Sprites doesn't make character, gameplay is.

One like the one I got in my signature - he will be fighting with his bare fists, have some throws and basic stuff, and the other one will be switchable, like you press some key and he will draw his blades out and slash the opponents. * Still, I'm not REALLY sure about that, because I will have to draw gethits again... So, yeah, I don't know.Madre said, February 13, 2009, 08:13:00 pmis not enoughbtw...like the signs concept char than the others, but i love the palette colors of the scratched oneIt's good that you reminded me about the palette subject.Take a look:Ghost of Sparta palette:Barbarian palette:General Kratos palette:Black Sea palette:Malayalam palette:Sage Kratos palette:IMPORTANT: DO NOT EDIT THOSE, THEY GOT SOME PIXELS MESSED UP. USE THIS ONE INSTEAD:It should be finely cleaned up.Of course if you'd like to contribute. I'll choose a few.Well, again - Thank you for your comments. I'm waiting for some more feedback. Bring it on. BTW. Could anyone get me all the voices of Kratos from the GoW game?

So, yeah, I don't know.I think giving Kratos stances is a bad idea. He never fought with his bare hands in the game, why make him fight with them now? Plus that might be complicating things for no reason (it sounds like you'd have a hard time implementing it). Just make him badass, hardcore, and fun to play with; no need for technical things.'Sides, that'll remind me too much of Gen... Wicked palettes btw.
did you ever play with a character in a fighter that originated from a non fighter game?it doesn't mean he should port the char as is...
Thanks guys. And yah... Dhalsim pallete was based on him. I thought it will look nice, and it is actually.iloveflash said, February 13, 2009, 09:59:09 pmDooM said, February 13, 2009, 09:37:24 pmActually, I already kinda* decided that he will have two kinds of stances.

It's better to focus on one stance and style of fighting.BTW. Check this newest GoW III game coming up next year (I guess?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k_Jwim2ehcI'm gonna put all the moves and combos that you can see there in that trailer.Damn, I'm so pumped up to finish this char... it's already decided I think. It will be a slow project, but surely kickass. Trust me.Once again, give me some ideas you got, everything is appreciated.
