Retouched sprite packs by felineki:
DS1
NW
VS
Separate SFFs for each of the 3 games, since each has a different spriteset. Many, many things retouched, fixing errors in shading, part alignment, etc.

I've grown pretty fond of this killer Mayan space robot guardian, so I'm probably going to do more edits in the future. I'll add them here as I finish them.

For the moment it's just sprites. I have thought about making a playable Mugen version, but haven't actually started on it yet. My experience with Akuma has shown me how hard it is to get things working accurately, and that's made me a little wary of jumping into other projects without proper forethought. I wouldn't count it out as an eventual possibility, though.

These are just for completion's sake. It is highly recommended to use felineki's rips in the 1st post.

Off topic but if you don't get started on him before I finish Rikuo then I've decided to make him my next character. :)

I forgot to ask last time. Do you add these to your sff as you make them as well? Or do we need to collect them from the gifs?

I haven't added them to the SFF yet. I'd kind of like to keep my initial SFFs at a 1:1 correlation to the original game (despite the touchups) for accuracy reasons. For animations that are heavily modified like this (adding extra frames, etc.) I might complie an alternate SFF eventually.

I wouldn't replace the old sprites with these. But I think it'd be good to add them to 1 sff. Even if you just make up a group number and slap them all in said group at the end of the sff.

But it's up to you! I'll take em however I can get em :P

Made a small modification to the one of the extra frames in the DS1/NW fs.MP, taking into account the "slow in/slow out" principle a bit more. The wrecking ball now spends a bit more time further out now than it did before, giving a bit better sense of weight.


I want to do a custom air throw animation soon, because his actual air throw is a bit underwhelming. Look forward to that sometime soon.

I was looking for a good Huitzil/Phobos to convert to MvC2. I think I found the jackpot right here. I like how this is progressing, man.
Beware the Dark Wolf once more!

Added this:

Modified version of the unused alternate recovery animation for Genocide Vulcan (as opposed to the used one which is just the startup frames in reverse). An extra frame was added, and existing frames were reworked, swapping in DS1 parts to attempt to create a smooth transition from cone/cylinder back to hand (the unused animation as in the actual game reuses one of the large blade hand sprites from the startup which doesn't look quite right in the context of a recovery). Here's the alternate recovery as-is for comparison:


I'm also working on an alternate air throw animation. It's not finished yet, but here's a WIP:

Work's been keeping me busy, but  want people to know that I'm not dead. I'm still working on the air throw animation posted above, as well as a spruced up version of his unused DS1 laser super. Here's a WIP for that:

I also have more things planned, such as some further retouches for the SFFs I posted previously, and some ideas on how to liven up his NW ES Plasma Beam animation a touch.

Looks pretty cool, hope that idea for the plasma gun. Includes a start up of particle energy, and comes out with a bang. Something like the ship from Gundam Unicorn.

Still nothing finished yet, but here's a WIP of the aforementioned ES Plasma Beam animation.

In the original animation his whole body shifts around a lot as one big rigid chunk to try to imply some bounce when he transforms and some recoil when he fires. I broke him up into parts so I could move the parts relative to each other and hopefully make it look a bit more lively, adding some squash and stretch to the transformation, and making the recoil look like it's primarily affecting the guns. I also made the red vents on those cylinders that sprout out of the backs of the guns spin, because why not.

Great job, Felineki.

Thnaks! I might be able to finish up the recovery for the ES Plasma Beam within the next couple days, so I'll finally have at least one finished animation to add here. Need to get back to the DS1 super and the air throw after that.
