RELEASES: SHADEs of Manhattan Characters (So far: Adamas, Zenith, more to come)

Adamas' Character Page

So I've begun releasing updated, individual versions of the SHADEs characters. This version features MANY, MANY fixes from the Beta that I have available on my old Esnips account.

-Juggling issues fixed
-Some new animations (jumping HK, Diamond Shard, etc.)
-Win Quote System
-New Super Move
-And more!

Basically, this is his superior SHADEs of Manhattan Full Game version, minus the things specific to the full game (guard meter and grapple counter system). This version also ditches the "Level S" system and instead uses the Desperation Moves from SoM.

Over the next couple of weeks (maybe sooner, who knows), I will be releasing each SHADEs character as a stand-alone character, including all previously unreleased characters (Zenith, Specialist, Vesper, Chad In Black, EX Adamas, and EX Sabotage).

Here's a screenshot (would have more, but it will clog up the post, he has plenty on his character page):



Get him HERE!

This is a temporary link until I upload him to the SHADEs site. In all honesty, I don't know how to get him on there currently, so I will wait until Zeckle can help me.

QUESTION TO MODS: Should I just edit and update this topic for each new release, or create new topics?

****UPDATE 12/19/08***

I decided that since the mods did not answer my question, I will just edit this topic, so keep an eye on it for each new character.

Here is one I've gotten a lot of questions about, Zenith. I hope you guys enjoy him. This version is slightly different from the SHADEs version, just that he has a few .cmd tweaks and I decided to take some previous advice and edit the pallettes a bit so that colors contrast a bit more.

Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got.

Cool update thanks for Adam.  Do you know if you'll be releasing Zenith stand alone for a direct download?  I think your chars are awesome and I give you alot of credit for sticking to your guns with these original characters.  Also another good question for you is do you make all the characters voices?  Just wondering from an interest standpoint.

No, these are individual releases of the characters, for people who don't want the full game.

Yes, Zenith is next. I am going to try to alternate, it will go: Updated version of previously released character, then an unreleased character, rinse, repeat.

As far as voices go, all the characters have original voice work, with the exception of Vesper (whom I just modded some voice clips from Jill, Juni, and Juli). The voice cast is as follows:

Snow - Sean Altly
Sabotage - Patrick Henry (my co-best friend)
Adamas - Adam Rogers (other co-best friend)
Chad In Black - Jennifer Truesdell (my girlfriend)
Bloodtide - Sandy Johnston (my sister)
Thirteen - Jared J. Lee (a voice actor from VoiceActingAlliance.com)
Fray - Mippachan (a voice actress from VoiceActingAlliance.com)
Zenith - Chosis (a member here at Mugen Fighting Guild, he also translated his attack names)
Moses Maddigan - Sean V. Crisden (a voice actor from VoiceActingAlliance.com)

The Specialist does not speak and Vesper was already explained. Thanks for taking interest in it!

These updates are great! Zenith is a really fun character and what makes him even more awesome is that he's a NINJA! :ninja:
I looks forward to the next releases.
Stop! You've violated the law! Now pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit!

> I've been watching Adamas in action for several matches, and noticed a slight inconsistency in the volume of the voice samples which was kind of annoying. One of the intros and the hard kick were way too loud compared to the other voice samples. Also, his 2QCF + K move does way too little damage for a Level 3 super. But other than that, I can't really find anything major issues with him.

> I've noticed an overall improvement in your characters. Your more recent characters have better drawn sprites, they don't plunge too deep into the ground when knocked down, and they have actual AI, amongst other improvements. Also, I don't know how you keep cranking out these original characters one after another so fast, and still keep up this kind of quality. I haven't even finished my first character after almost a year of working on her, so it's pretty clear that I've got a long way to go before I ever become this skilled as a character creator.

> BTW, I thought the special intro with the boots was pretty funny. :D

Aw, excellent!  :sugoi:  Thanks a lot for releasing these guys.  After playing with your Solid Snake and Tristan, I've really wanted to try out the SHADEs characters, but the filesize of the full game was just too prohibitive. Great work on these two.  I'll be eagerly awaiting the next ones.

Believe me, I'd love to try the full game if I could, but a 250 meg download on a 52k connection just isn't going to happen.  :-\

Before this dies or gets forgotten, I just want to shout out encouragement and say, Thanks for your awesome work. I especially like Tristan.
