It's more of a new character than it is an update. Decided I'd release her before I make major changse to my style.

Download

Switching up my system. Taking out some things; Advancing some things; Focusing on more fairness. Suggestions, opinions, and comments are all welcome, as this is not that complete yet, according to me.  

Spoiler:  System Plans (click to show/hide)

Included:

- No Chain combos. *The only characters that will retain chain combos are: Miyako, Lilith, and Maki. A maybe on Maki

-"Normal --> Special" or "Normal --> Super." *In some cases there will be exceptions.
     - Canceling will be able to happen at the contact of a High Attack. Special canceling will vary.

- 3 Levels of supers

- C-Groove canceling. *Level 2 Supers ---> Level 1 Supers or Specials

- Roll and Dodge

- Parry

- Run/Back-Dash

- Guard Counter

- Juggling will still be strict. No juggle checking during supers.

Excluded:
- Ex-Moves

- Power Charge.

- Custom Combo

Custom:

- Vigor Mode: Will be advancing Vigor mode and making it more than it is. It will be fair.

- Needs at least one power stock to activate

- Restores 20% Of health when Activated

- Restores 10 % of Power when

- Inflicts 20% more damage

- Takes 20% more damage

- Takes chip damage even if the opponent's attack doesn't do chip damage.

- A powerful super is available after a few seconds of being in Vigor mode.

- Power decreases after ever attack, and after being hit

- Vigor Mode shuts off if power is below 500

- There is a high chance that there will be some visual meters for some things.

- More to come as I'm still developing it.

Possibilities:

- Hitsparks changing, tired of Cvs Hitsparks. Something simple, yet appealing, will probably be implemented.

- Changing hyper portrait style. Tired of P.o.t.Sing portraits, needs something else. In fact, I might get rid of hyper portraits in general and try something else.

- Haven't thought of anything else, really.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions? Complaints?

Not home so I can't test, but PLEASE no loud like xbawks voice.  TELL ME YOU FIXED THAT.

[Rajaa]

Her voice should be fine, I put in new ones. She isn't a combination of both Sion and Vampire Sion, anymore, she's just Sion.

..... shit.   

[Rajaa]

It's much better that way. Vampire Sion comes later. I made this decision because if I combined the two, it would make the SFF file too large, considering the new animations and the HI-RESing of the effects.

[Bastard Wolf]

I prefer this new Sion over the old one. Also her voice doesn't make my ears bleed anymore.

Well I would like to keep the power charge (might miss the Ex-moves, but I generally don't use them) and I don't really use Vigor mode.

And now I'll wait for RajaaAkiha.

[Rajaa]

If a power charge, it'd have to be very slow; considering what I'm planning for Vigor mode, but it'll probably just be nulled out, so no real worries.

The EX-moves won't be Ex moves anymore, but will be available once in vigor mode, and will be done, simply by pressing the normal commands for the moves, instead of pressing two buttons. I'm trying to make it so using vigor mode is beneficial and not just an attack increase and decrease. Which is why I'm adding other features to it that make it useful, yet dangerous to both the user and their opponent. Thus making you want to use it! I'm glad you won't miss the chain combos, I think they make playing with my characters WAY too easy. Which is why I'm shedding them except for a few characters.

I'm glad you like Sion.  

I already released an Akiha!

Lies.

RajaaRoastbeef, please.
You have your sprite rips, lazy bish.

In terms of hitsparks, you could always try to make something with ParticleIllusion. :U

[-Greed-]

HR Red Earth/Warzard sparks or get out.

[/excuses]True, but I dont have voice rips.[/excuses]

Never even used particle illusions. Maybe I should give it go.

Eww... I think.

Ask Khn for help, his Nanaya has AA voices. :U

No, ask Crazy Koopa, he can get you higher quality rips; he said he could rip directly from the CD.

[Walkin' Tall]

You know, ripping directly from the game ain't that hard. Just long. :/

Just some notes on your system plans :

- I'm glad you're nerfing chains and cancellings. Neat thing.
- I never really liked C-groove cancelling. I'm all for Lv1->Lv2, but not the contrary. It's just me though.
- Keep power charge ! Make it slow at startup, it should be enough to balance it.
- I'm happy to see you're updating vigor mode. To be honest, I never really tested your chars in this mode, as I never saw so much of an interest in it. If old Ex attacks would become the normal specials in Vigor Mode, then that would really be something great IMO.
- If you're updating to 1.0 after this, why not using the default hitsparks for your characters, and proposing a fightfx which you'd use for them if you want, and people could them use them for other chars. Crazy Koopa already released high-res CFJ hitsparks, and I'm very happy with them.

[Radio G Zero]

You could try Big Bang Beat or Basara X style Hyper Portraits.

EDIT: And Sion's not downloadable anymore 

[SolidZone 26]

Just tried out your new version of Sion and this one I like the most. Really love the limited ammo system and that you have to press the medium and strong punch buttons to reload her gun. Can't wait for RajaaSionTatari, RajaaVampireSion, or whatever you call her.

Also, if you want suggestions on hitsparks, here are my suggestions:

- vyn's Capcom vs. SNK X characters
- Capcom Fighting Jam/Capcom Fighting Evolution
- Street Fighter 4

EDIT: And Sion's not downloadable anymore 

The download seems fine to me. It must be your internet or something.

[Djedah]

Keep the EX Moves, ditch the dodging/rolling.

[Rajaa]

Thanks, guys, but I'll worry about Roastbeef when I'm actual making him.

Pics because I'm lazy. I'm stilling pondering, though. I might just ditch hyper portraits! Are you still having trouble with Sion? I was optimizing my website some time ago, I didn't look at the time you posted this, so it might not have been the cause.

Yeah, I'm coding Dhalsim without the Chains now, and giving him his chains from CvS, that is: Some close basics can be comboed into a yoga fire, Yoga stream/volcano. It's turning out nice, and battles aren't easy, as they were before. Also, adjusting hit velocities and other stuff like that.

I like C-groove canceling, plus, it makes you risk two power bars if you want to try to cancel into a super or special, which is good for balance! It'll work out fine!

Stilling thinking about power charge: I'll just make it super slow!

Yup, Vigor mode is in for a huge update that makes it worth using. Just wait and see, it's not too far from a release. I'm organizing my variables better, they're a mess.

I actually just downloaded Crazy Koopa's fightfx pack. I'm going to use thos hitsparks and guardsparks, I like them a lot. I wouldn't feel comfortable just leaving my characters without hitsparks.

As for updating to Mugen 1.0, I don't think so yet! I was testing out coding for it a few days back, I got the hang of that sffv2, which is all I wanted to do. Now, I'm just waiting until I get a significant motivation to go and do that to all my characters. Just going to update my style first, and then look into coding for Mugen 1.0, hopefully by that time there will be some breakthrough or something!

Thanks for your opinions and suggestions.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the gun system, because I spent 30 minutes on it, and didn't go back to change some things that I had problems with. Everything should be fine with it, just a few tweaks I skipped by accident.

I think I'm going with the sparks Crazy Koopa has released. They should be good, enough!

No Ex-Moves; there's a reason I'm getting rid of those, too much P.o.t.S, and I don't like people calling my characters P.o.t.S esque characters. Not that there's anything wrong with his style.

I'm keeping Dodge/Roll!
