Hey the names Alex, Im kinda new to mugen but i can say im a big fan already. I love the fact that mugen has costume characters people have made so i decided to take that challenge myself. I consider myself an artist not a programmer so making my own character will be HALF as hard. Ill be asking for alot of help using fighter factory. anyway....lets get to the point...i decided to take on Kazuya cuz i love him in the Tekken series...he so fucking cool..cant help it...also...cuz hes 3d. it would be nice to see him kicking ass on the classic 2d action.Well first off i would like to share some of my sketches first..its my blue print of kazuya..i use it to make my sprites. Then became sprites....i was taught by a good friend of mine how to make sprites..im trying to get them as close as my kazuya on paper as possible.KEEP IN MIND- THIS CHARACTER IS 100% CUSTOM.heres a sneak peak coming to a home near you lol...HERES SOME GIFS they are really gay so excuse them..i suck at making gifs im just posting them to show u movement at leastAll Commentary is allowed i need all the feedback i can get to make him betterHis current moves areLight punch straight jabMed Punch straight switch punchHard punch Spining Back handLight kick torso area shin hitMed kick Head area roundhouseHard kick High Axe kickSpecialsMishima UppercutKazama ComboSuper hard gut shotKazuya flying kick (does it in tekken 5)heihachi mishimas Switch hitter. Double roundhouse in air (does it in tekken 5)More to comeSuper SpecialsKazama super spining uppercutDevil Dive (he will grab opponents throat and fly really high in the air then come down slamming his opponent at very high speeds)Devil Jin does it in tekken 5Devil Combo (he will just go nuts with alot of hits forming a beautiful combo )Devils Sanctuary (its a secret u have to wait for that one)

Try making a GIF of his stance so that his feet remain on the same level (remember he's staying on the ground?). Looks like you need to pay close attention to height on some sprites.
How about adding a Super Special Move that takes up about 3 powerbars to transform into Devil..Not temporary though because its a 3 powerbar special..

Devils Sanctuary (its a secret u have to wait for that one)Thats kinda what this move is going to be...it will take up 3 bars cuz i want it a powerful move if it takes him to turn into devil form...i was also thinking on making a devil version of him after im done with this one

I'm talking about proportions. You cannot draw a new character without considering this thing if he is has to look properly. So get your sprites in Fighter Factory, set correct axises for standing sprites and see if his proportions are right.
Hmm, cool looking kaz you got there looks intresting. Hey man since your into tekken and all there is a site that was just recently started for tekken and stuff. Well thought you might want to check it out because i'm part of the project. Where here is the link-http://z11.invisionfree.com/Tekken_MUGEN_Project/index.php?act=site

It's hard to explain how it should be, just open other characters using Fighter Factory and see. The program is user friendly, you'll be able to understand it without manuals.
SilviaZeroShift said, September 02, 2007, 07:08:46 amvery nice attention to body details, but i think the face and hair need some work. He looks too friendly and clean, like Astroboy or something. I think the smile is what threw me off, he should be scowling.
i agree looks like a good design but your right looks to nice and the coloring should be a lil more crisp like guilty gear chars its not to hard to do that
sevendaily said, September 03, 2007, 03:58:18 amLooks good man but it looks more like Jin to me. same thing to meIt's hard to create everything from the zerobut his look nice so farit's my impression or his arms are ''weak''?Nice job
all of you have gave me good advice...its the main reason why i would post to get feedback. Trust me ill work hard on making him what he SHOULD be also...thanks for the advice on fighter factory...i should start learning how that shit works now so im not confused later.ill make sure hes the kick ass kazuya ur waiting for
