I'll make scorpion with the UMK3 sprites and the MK1 sprites you can choose the costume and both have the same moves, but a little different looking animations.

The character can use the different play styles, so you can choose how to play.  MK1 style MK2, MK3, UMK3.....  I haven't gotten all these modes fleshed out but the base is ready.

I need to link certain moves to work in the specific modes, also link adjustments in gravity, hit def's, velocity, etc.  All that stuff can change depending on what mode is chosen.  It's done with a bunch of on and off switches using variables.


Steve Fox, Brad Burns, Brad wong... the evade moves they have are sort of what I have in mind, yeah.

I have a system for the defence in place, that makes the block animations change depending on what move the enemy is doing.  I can match them perfectly, so having these animations happen on que is possible.


If you hold down Back, = Normal crouch state.  The animation is standing ready with hands down.

If a low attack is thrown, you may see him block with his leg.

If a high attack is thrown, you may see him duck under it.

There are several options for different attacks, based on timing, direction, height and distance.

I may add another variable that checks the previous block animation to use one that fits the situation and blends from the last pose.






[Update on UMK3 scorp]; added animations

- Neutral jump
- Diagonal jump
- crouch
