Alright guys, this is the last update on Axel Gear for now, as I want to start focusing on making other characters. I changed a few things as well.QuoteWhat's different?-Altered Axel's Throw Immunity, so it doesn't override any NotHitBy's-When Axel recovers from his hit state, he has exactly 7 frames of invincibility left to counter attack-Added 2 seperate CNS and CMD files for Assist settings (See Assist Readme.txt for more details)-AI altered slightly-3 new palettesPalettesDownload Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mhfzjmmhj1tIf you have an older version, please update to this one, thanks.
You work incredibly fast.It's hard to find anything wrong with this update.Nice Char +1 because Cybaster comes in with 50 problems.

- Basic sword attacks X and Y can link between each other, so you can do an infinite : Maintain Forwards, press X Y X Y X Y X Y ...- Hitsparks for Energy Slash look misaligned.- I think Rising spin could get a little more CLSN priority . Having some infinite priority is okay here, since it's a special and an anti-air anyway.- Laser Blast would be nicer without any shadow on its FX. The beam would be nicer if we could see the opponent through it. Either use transparency, or if you want to do it old style, make it change sprite each tick or two : once it's the beam, once it's an empty sprite.- I cant perform Rocket Spin, and the CMD says it's only with X, while it should be with Y and Z too.It should look like that, with the "$" sign :[mcode][Command]name="Rocket Spin"command=~15$B, $F, $B, F, xtime=30[/mcode]It would be much more user friendly like that... and even like that I can't manage to perform it ???Other than that, it's a very fine release, and plays really well.

Thanks for the feedback . I'll look into these and fix them up.With Rocket Spin, I was able to perform it, but had to quickly press F, B, F, x after holding Back. I might change the command of this move to something simpler.

I might change the command of this move to something simpler.I usually have no problems performing this kind of commands, with chars such as Guile or Vega (M. Bison), so it must be a problem in your code concerning priority of the command or something like that.
Alrighty then. I've fixed up the issues mentioned, and I think it's all good to go now.Edit: Fixed a little mistake, where both CNS and CMD files didn't have Sparkster as an Assist.Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymltm2dm2foThe CLSN priority issue, I wasn't too sure about. So I'll be willing to fix that if it's still not too good.
I can now perform Rocket Spin correctly. One thing though. I think you should provide two versions of the character (just two CNS files in the archive), to propose a version with normal GetHit attributes. I see you coded it to be sort of accurate to the original game, where Axel gets "electrocuted" and set in a state where he's untouchable for a few ticks.While this is cool, it breaks the gameplay of all the other characters which would be relying on combos to deal damage to Axel, since they can basically deal only one hit before Axel going in his GetHit state. Proposing a normal version would make him blend better with other small characters and mix better in a "fighting game" system.

Luis Alejandro said, September 08, 2009, 05:49:10 pmGood look making all those hit sprite requirements lolIt should be an easy process, just need to make some custom sprites and apply them to the character. That's pretty much all.
Okay then, I got both Hit state and non Hit state versions done. Here's the download link, make sure to read the Style Readme.txt for changing settings.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yzy1ngzaqmyThe hit animations are the same sprite at the moment, i'll let you be the judge on if it's okay or not.
Thanks, he's WAY better now being able to combo him, great work.. but his "lose" sprite color is all messed up (like when he was electrocuted & you couldn't hit him) other then that he's fine.

You mean this?I'm pretty sure it's the same sprite for the lose action.Also thanks for your comment

I do like the Mega man effect or explosion idea above.
Explosion is indeed a nice idea.Axel can still be thrown while he's in the air, if the opponent has a air throw or puts an aerial opponent in whatever custom state (eg. Shin Gouki's air throw or Misogi). This results in Axel disappearing.
