New stuff:Winner sign updated with glowing effects and animated shadow behing:changed round start bar graphics:and now I dropped my hitspark coding and instead using the P.o.t.S. version, seriously, his way to code hires hitsparks totally rocks! I can even avoid those damn double hit bugs:removed the claws in the violent install (Never wanted those, blame me for not telling c00per about it ), shitty edit attempt is shitty edit attempt.
You know what would make this better? M.U.G.E.N. allowing you to place the partner characters on the far ends of the stage.
Its possible just a lot of coding for each char since its a full game I don't think its worth all the coding personally,damn helpers

Even after the removal of my "everything on ontop = 1" system the game still lagged on HIRES stages in SIMUL VS SIMUL (TAG), and I finally discovered why this happened... it was the damn SFF file, K' being double sided totally takes away the memory of the PC but for fortune I had lots of stuff to move to the fightfx.sff and fightfx.air and so now the game runs PERFECT on any mode, optimization is the key. The system is totally optimized on every aspect and now several helpers does several functions at the same time with no bugs.- Created a command reading system that uses variables and a helper so I said goodbye to common mugen for good even on the commands, this gives me the advantage of a better dummy coding for the training mode menu and also let's me work on the buffering regarding the pause menu (So no bugs on buffering happens if you pause the game).- The previous point works this way: you input a command like QCF and then a variable starts going down, during the buffer time you have the chance to press the button to execute a move, however after the input like QCF I left a buffer of 15 ticks at first which left you 1/4 of a second to press the buttons and that was way too much, but as always I like to make bugs into features and now you have the option to choose between NORMAL and EASY buffering in the pause menu (NORMAL is 8 ticks after direction input to press a button and EASY is 15). I think the system is perfect for now, everything including command and input priority is ok even on super style commands (like QCBHCF).- Of course lots of extra coding tweaks I forgot What's next? fire FX for the rest of the moves (Currently working on crow bites). once the FX is done and I finish the SUPER DRIVES I will make a vid for ya' . I wont show the Violent Install variants of the special moves however, that's for later , also Im still missing EX MODE but I already have my ideas on a readme to not to forget that.
It has a good enough amount of hype already there will be more once its released plus if they vdont know the features will be more surprising

This is the new effect for the iron trigger, I tweaked the colors and also divided the effect in 2 parts now (beginning and end), im showing the end of the effect now:I wasted 4 HOURS on this other effect and its closer to KOF than the previous one but I just didnt like it at the end, the effect is still in the SFF just in case I want to use it...anyway, I just kept the first version and it's used on both sides now (and also the beginning but with different sprpriority)added Crow bites FX and also finished both versions of crow bites and Heavens drive again (Which is a FORCE DRIVE)also blah blah blah tweaks to the system blah blah modified the heat attack and heat pursuit vels.
Looks really nice here The system looked somewhat complex in the readme, but with that video now I see the real use of it, it's very refreshing, I just loved it, very tactical and stategical, that opens a new concept of kof gameplay, instead of somewhat old attack priorities and retarded OTG criteria, you open the door to many combo habilities and creativity.Heat attack/pursuit seems to be based on ROTD concept, but as far as I saw in the video, is very depurated...I must tell that KOF was not filling my playing experiences (even kof zillion, still feels like always, even with the system changes, besides it's the best mugen full game I've seen until now... unless you release a beta XD) that's teh reason I sticked with capcom games, but this version looks promising and very wothable to play.Keep on the good work Red, here it comes the new KOF era.See ya!!!
I didnt use heat attack to make combos but just to show the stage (and I mentioned that the lag input during recording makes impossible to execute combos correctly), also the velocities were changed after the video and the attack itself is based on the dust attack from GG rather than ROTD.

But yeah, looking forward to see more of this project.good luck sir.
I dont know what the hell I did or what the fuck I smoked but I uploaded the pics on JPG damnit! I'll bring the BMP files next time so you people can send some palettes.

Can you people tell me if this has the correct palette? I dont have PSP at hand so I used MS paint to convert the image.NEW FX:
