I dress like your Great Great Grandfather.

Okay so, I have a beta tester build ready. Is it more appropriate to link it here or in Releases?

I don't want to put it in the wrong place $:-\$

Edit: For now, I'll leave it here unless otherwise instructed. Moved.

Current Bugs I'm aware of:
Afterimages not being destroyed properly.
Damage scaling is still wonky.
AI is uh.. well.. a cheater.
Screenedge issues with various attacks.

The Road So Far...
--------------
General:
Aug. 16th:
Some Damage adjusted.
Poweradd per move adjusted. These were way out of control. Getting to Level 3 power isn't so fast now. This should encourage using the
power charge taunt option.
Aug. 14th:
Corrected new Taunt and Charge animation.
Removed shadow from FX helper.
Cleaned up statedef/state orders in code.
Had some good chicken with a bit of cheeky nando's sauce last night.
Aug. 13th:
So much code updating I can't remember everything.
Additional sprites added (a friend gifted me aseprite.)
New Taunt: Modified Stomp that glows with red power that does small damage and pushback. It's possible to initiate power charge from this state.
Evil Bubbles of Doom are finally replaced.
A bug fix for something. I can't remember what, but I know I fixed it.
Aug. 10th:
New select screen portrait. It ain't great, but it's different.
Small portrait updated.
Aug. 9th:
Fixed Koryuken to hyper air cancel bugs.
Koryuken cancel to Messatsu Gadouken working.
CMD file tweaks.
Better damage scaling now (PotS to the rescue).
Aug. 7th:
Partially fixed another infinite. Discouraged it. Maybe. It kinda works. I dunno.
Roll to Koryuken (alt) bug fixed.
Aug. 6th:
Removed some code bloat.
Corrections on various things.
Fixed an infinite.
Aug. 4th:
Divekick Hyper scrapped.
Dankuu Hyper added to roadmap.
Aug. 3rd:
Some CLSN adjusting.
Corrected Kanji Explod orientation.
Some sprites had their orientations corrected.
Volume on Hyper/Superpause Sound lowered to 65%. It was pretty obnoxious before and not every Mugen character needs to wake the baby.
Aug. 1st:
Juggle values adjusted.
Unused Var cleanup.
CMD maintenance (Fixing weird chains, commands, etc.)
Palette stuff.
Secret thing added.
Afterimage bug fixed.
Chain string fixed.
Guard sound bug fixed.
Frasier Crane mode added.
Frasier Crane mode removed.
Placeholder sound added for Ground Roll Koryuken.
Flash Variant tweaks & maintenance.
Some CLSN Cleanup.

Specials:
Aug. 3rd:
Koryuhiji now has width adjustment to prevent guard-locking the opponent in the corner.
Aug. 1st:
Koryuken tweaked. This move may end up being recoded. I'm not happy with the cancel window to Messatsu Gadouken.
Koryuhiji tweaked. General fine tuning. Flash Variant added.
Ground Roll added: Evil Dan can now roll forward on the ground and execute a modified Koryuken for air juggles, or cancel the roll early.
Gadouken Tweaked: General fine tuning. Flash Variant added.

Hypers:
Aug. 7th:
Messatsu Dan Kuu Rekka added. It's fun to do.
Aug. 6th:
Messatsu Koryuken now has 3 rotations.
All Hyper damage values have been adjusted.
Aug. 1st:
Messatsu Gadouken: Stomp-hit pulls opponent into proper range for the projectile to hit.
Messatsu Buraiken: Juggle values corrected.

Flash Variants: These moves have a 15% chance of flashing white and performing a variation of the special move. Keeps you on your toes.
Aug. 1st:
Koryuken: Retains i-frame.
Gadouken: Hits at higher velocity and causes a wall bounce for combo extension.
Koryuhiji: Causes ground bounce for combo extension.
Flash Variants now have an accompanying explod.
Flash Variants now have a new made-from-scratch sound effect. (Hope you don't hate it.)
Flash Variants now have a white bgpalfx on-hit.

Other:
Aug. 1st:
Bonus intro added: ********* appears and is taunt-stomped away.

Changelog v4.3c beta
--------------
Launcher adjusted further. Can now be tech recovered.
CLSNs for Gadouken adjusted.
Messatsu Haoh Gadouken animations & move added. It's a new Level 3!
New Messatsu Buraiken added. It ends with a Haoh Gadouken that increases in hits per level rather than a Koryuken.
Minor tweaks here and there.
Juggle maintenance.
Removed Divekick afterimages. Can't remember why I had them in the first place.

Changelog v4.3 beta
--------------
Messatsu Gadouken Input now more forgiving.
Koryuken Command corrected.
Only standing and crouching lp can be spammed at moment. Other light attack animations look and feel clumsy when spammed.
Normal, Special, and Hyper chains should be working properly.
Superjump window timing adjusted.
Aerial launcher adjusted. Can no longer relaunch, opponent recovers at apex of launch.
Gadouken damage adjusted. These values are subject to change.

Thank you! <3

I'm always open to suggestions for the character keep in mind that it does not guarantee a suggestion will be added. The Divekick and Divekick hyper currently have me scratching my head, though. I was originally going to have a lightning bolt strike after Dan performs a heelstomp version of the kick. But I feel like that's too similar to Vyn's version on MvC Evil Ryu.

Flash Variants now have a solid look and feel. They still have a 15% activation chance (obviously set to 100% for the video). When active, both visual and audio cues will fire. I made the sound from scratch and I'm pretty happy with it. 10 points if you can guess what it originally was!

Thanks!

Sure, you can use them. Keep in mind that the face and hair are pretty altered from normal Dan (as they were meant to look 'evil'), so you might have to copy paste/edit an old head onto him in order for him to look right. Oh - and the palette organization & application is a total mess that I haven't fixed yet. I think bits of his face use the same color as his gauntlets, among other things.

If it helps you cut any corners I can tell you the base was R's Dan. Also, don't be afraid to just slap a black undershirt on any old shoto sprite and swap the heads.

I do it all the time.

I'll just leave this here.

Evil Dan's Current Development

I forgot to add Koryuken to the showcase. It still needs work anyway (issues cancelling into Messatsu Gadouken.) I also didn't show a secret intro or more advanced combos.

I feel like it's getting closer to a release, or maybe even an early release.

WIP: Tons and tons of IKEMEN stages

I actually remember this one from the old days.

How about actually making his Tenma Kuujin Kyaku go *upwards*, as an aerial anti-air? This would differentiate him from the other evil shotos that already have the downward kick.

I'd also make his Ashura Warp a variant... On his roll.

The SGS could really use an autograph attack or reference.

The rest, honestly looks really neat.

I like the reverse (upward) divekick idea, but I'm honestly still on the fence about the move as a whole. But if I decide to actually do a hyper for it, it'll probably be something like that - good idea.

For the Asura variant on roll: Do you mean have an option to cancel into Asura Warp from the roll? Or do you mean a Flash Variant that turns the Asura Warp itself into a Asura Roll?

I dress like your Great Great Grandfather.

I did a lot the past few days. Fixed up the CMD, found so many bugs and then fixed them, added sprites (my friend bought me aseprite cause he was tired of me complaining about GIMP haha), worked on a secret intro (10% chance for it to happen), cleaned up code bloat... I honestly can't remember all of it - sleep isn't so great right now

I recorded the new Special FX pass for the level 3's and the new Taunt (It does damage on hit, I just forgot to show that) that can activate charge mode by pressing and holding Y+B. The Evil Bubbles of Doom are now gone. Sorry if anyone actually liked them.

So, yeah... Progress is being made!

Edit: Sorry for fumbling the SGS. I'm tired heh.

Edit Edit: I updated the animation to fire properly while charging, and removed the shadow from the red circle helper. I really don't know how I missed that yesterday, even as sleep deprived as I was.

Just a better video showing off the former charge and its application. The animation is corrected and I'm not fumbling every stinkin' move.

I dress like your Great Great Grandfather.

Things have progressed in a significant way since the Beta release and I'd like to know if those of you who are still interested think that I should keep working or have an early release. The reason I'm asking is because I have limited time in the day to work on this and am often dead tired in the evenings, or have other things I have to do. Please, feel free to chime in!

What's Left To Do

• Neutral Throw.
• Update Messatsu Buraiken with additional hits per level.
• Flash Variant Shun Goku Satsu.
• Replace some Explod Effects.
• Taunt 2: Dan turns his back to the opponent.
• Legendary Taunt: I want what happens here to be a surprise.
• 1 Secret Winstate.
• CLSN Maintenance.
• Alpha Counter.
• New AI.
• Palette Correction on a lot of sprites.
• Sounds. Both adding and editing.
• Screen effect when ending round with a hyper.
• Intros vs certain Fighters (e.g. Sagat, Gouki, Sakura.)

All of the things above (in no particular order) are things that I really want the character to have. I fully intend to have them integrated at some point.

The items below, however, I am unsure about. I really really want some feedback on these.

Might Be Added?

• Air Fireball & Hyper.
• Guard Push.
• Ikari Mode.
• A heal. (it would activate from his Back-turn taunt, and cost meter.)
• A couple of extra normals.
• Intro/Ending storyboards.

Again, please let me know what you think about an Early Release vs a longer wait for a Full Release. Thank you!
