Lou By: Laspacho
Co-Spriter: Anvil
Coder: Trasgo7

History:
Three Wonders (Wonder 3 in Japan) - is an arcade game made by Capcom in 1991 using the Capcom Play System (CPS1) engine.
Midnight Wanderers - A platformer, like other Capcom titles such as Mega Man and Strider.
The player controls a kid named Lou and his comrade, Siva, to basically run, climb, and shoot at enemies.
Chariot: Adventure through the Sky - A basic shoot-'em up game featuring the characters from Midnight Wanderers, but in a Gradius-esque game.

I spent a lot of time playing these two games in the Arcade when I was a kid.  I was over joyed to see him as a striker in MVC1.  Ever since then I wanted to see him be made into a full character.  One day I was bored and wanted to sprite but something different then a Megaman character so I decided to try and make Lou run.  Then then evolved into a full character.  When I first started showing him off Anvil contacted me since he was also a fan and wanted to help.  Anvil made all Siva's sprites and helped with converting sprites from Three Wonders and making some Lou sprites.

Left to do for a Future release:
Custom voice acting for Lou and Siva.
Add the three helpers from Three Wonders (Firestorm, Chilly, and Corkscrew) brought on screen by two other characters in a chest.
Whatever bugs might be found.
A Custom stage. This is already in the making from a friend but is not ready yet.

hi Laspacho.

I got  this char (I was really awaiting for it)...but he is OK, just that, I was expecting more. There are very good ideas (like his "airplane"), but somethings really brings this char quality down, like:

- Debug errors
- the bazooka move - its...boring. And the smoke is too big
- the hyper of  throwing knives....boring too. They trows some knives and...nothing more? Maybe a more dramatic end?
- weird hyper portrait. and remember that on MVC2 the colors of the portrait BLENDS with the yellow bg. Check what I done to BlackCat, whem she was still there.


- some edits are not good (its animation is weird)


- Is he...twisting his toe???


-  misaligned hitsparks


- Bad CLSN boxes. Stop to use the auto CLSN feature from FF (thanx God it was removed)


But I see some potential there. Just fix the bugs and it will be great. I love that game too.

see ya

Thanks for the feedback.  Definitely stuff that can be fixed in the future.   
The sprite for the ducking light punch must have gotten corrupted, it will need to re-added.
Yea he can definitely use a new hyper portrait.  Maybe I can find a new better picture to use somewhere.
