Well, Gig's finally done.For more information, you can check out the WIP page.Thanks again to Cy, which through him all things are possible.DL: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XBE21J4KMod Edit: http://www.mugenguild.com/cyanideMirrored
As much as I'd love to download this character, Megaupload is a piece of shit and is refusing to read the fucking code."Please enter the code displayed in the image!"What the fuck do they think I'm doing?Oh well, I'll just have to miss this one, shame because it looks great.
I guess they don't call him Great and Powerful for nothin'Works great now. Thanks.So...who on my roster is gonna be fodder for this newcomer?
More than likely, everyone.As I stated in the readme, Gig currently puts a higher priority on dodging than attacking.Being a Boss, it should prove a 'challenge' for everything but the F1 key.
Ok, i've hosted him as well. Please note the screenies i have up have him at half size, mostly cos that's how big i like him, but it gives you a good idea of what he looks like too. The one in the zip is... big. Very big in fact.Now i have to officially add him to mugen so mukai can fight him.
Great Release.I tested the character and I can say it's really good, but it would better if it had sounds.This apeared while I was testing the char:Code: 7099: WARNING: PLAYER SOD (97) IN STATE 200:HAS NO HELPER 6000Can't wait to get the full version.
Alright, fixed that, update to be added either when sounds show up, or in about 4 days. Not gamebreaking precisely but it's such a mini bug i'll wait for a few more.
do you guys still need sounds? because i can provide.btw, im downloading him now, feedback in a few.well there not much i can say, he doesn't do much, but the sprites and animations are really smooth.nice work on him guys, just needs some sounds and and improved sff file(so that you can make pallets), i did it already, all you have to do is click shared pallet on all his sprites.But making pallets for him is really difficult.congrats on the release.
Well, Iced and I have been working on sounds, and have already come up with a pretty good number.If you have any sounds that you feel would be appropriate, feel free to suggest them.

i really doubt you could.the colors are to complex, plus if you shade one in to much, it effects the blue orb and stuff..
Luis Alejandro said, September 29, 2008, 09:24:45 pmi really doubt you could.the colors are to complex, plus if you shade one in to much, it effects the blue orb and stuff..Ah shit. Any body parts that are not compared with the blue orb? the angel?
Awesome character, just in need of a few things:1. Needs sounds (already being taken care of. Thanks!)2. The angel's hitbox is too small. It seems nonexistent half of the time, in fact, when Gig is just standing there doing nothing, and I absolutely cannot hurt it with anything.2. Gig's AI is frustrating. Not in the "It's gonna beat me" way, but in the "It's not fun to stand still for 99 seconds while my enemy is flying high above where I can jump, doing nothing" way. It's too defensive, and almost never attacks, meaning that if you land just one hit, you're probably going to win on the inevitable time-out. And why will there be a time-out? Aside from how difficult it is to hurt Gig, Gig tends to fly way, way up, as high as possible, above where you can super-jump... and stay there. Pretty much forever.
Thats something i only noticed the AI doing, will fix that too. Shouldn't be able to jump after teleporting from jump. Will be changing.
I've noticed the AI issues.Moomaster had the same issue with the small hitbox.Plugging in sounds as we speak.
Some Guy In A Suit said, September 30, 2008, 08:08:53 amhis AI pisses me off.yeah, he keeps teleportin, but hes cool
This guy was a monster in the [admittedly bit naff] Dust Strikers. Gotta admit, apart from some of the aforementioned niggles the character has, this is pretty damn good. Nice work. ^^
hmm, asides from what is mentioned:his "armor" has hitboxes...i didn't know if you wanted that because you said he only could be hit on his "angel" body, ex his "openmouth" state, only one i can recall atm.it is incredible that this file is only 186kbs big.
The big bug body can be hit, but not hurt, which is how it is in the game. As i should be able to plug my comp back in tonight i'll update and upload a new zip. Fixing jump after teleport issue, and the helper bug.I may include some halfass AI so he attacks more and teleports less. Don't hold your breath on that though.
cyanide, have you actually ever BEAT him? for me, if i hit the angel once, his blue clsn goes away and i cant deal anymore damage, i can only kill him with F1
I got that bug to, but it seems it isnt the damaging, its when he teleport. I think.It also only happend whenits the AI that is playing.

Yep, that's the bug I was talking about. Even if he is not teleporting, you can NO LONGER HIT THE ANGEL WITH ANYTHING. Of course, since Gig basically never attacks, all you have to do is hit him once, and then stand still for 99 seconds.
Ah, legacy code. Thats gone now and fixes the issue. Reuploading.Edit: Done. Links haven't changed. Doesn't make him easier to actually kill though.Still waiting on the oz sound update though.
Cyanide said, October 05, 2008, 12:41:54 amStill waiting on the oz sound update though.My side is done on that one, boss.

Nice! I was waiting for this! But many people think the AI is challenging to hit but i rekon it is not powerful enough i dont mind the AI, Anyways i like this
Merci.I've been very busy the past few days, but sounds should be updated by the week's end.Stay tuned.
My computer has died, and had to be reformatted, wiping everything.As such, sounds for Gig are on hold.The cruel misjustice is that I was done, but never bothered uploading it.I believe Sepp would say something at a time like this...Quote“On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died." -Adlai E. Stevenson, American Politician
The boys down at the lab were able to back up some of my files while repairing my laptop.Those files consisted of my picture and sound files.So the sounds are back. (As well as some sprites and sketchwork I've been saving.)Unfortunately all of my applications, fighter factory, and all of my mugen stuff is still gone.Still, I should still be able to get all of the sound stuff set back up in a timely fashion.Later. I'm tired right now.I'm back in business baby.
Remember, you can still get him, with all his sprites off my page too. I mean, sure, you have to redo the sounds. But at least the other stuff is still there.Iced should still have some sounds too yes?
Yep.Got Gig off of your page.I should have all of the sounds.If I am missing any, I'm sure Iced wouldn't mind resending them.
That's a possibility. Of course Gig couldn't Roman cancel, etc. so those sfx will probably be absent.Apart from generic sounds, Iced has found a great number of very 'evil' sounds that I believe will fit nicely.
