This is a rather random project I've been working on for a little over a month. It started when I was looking for some more characters on a certain site and found this: https://www.andersonkenya1.net/files/file/19781-tabuu-sumin-styled/. A tiny version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Tabuu. Interesting, but that wasn't all that was on that page; there was a Mediafire link to some sprites of Tabuu from Brawl. I downloaded them and started making a character of sorts, by adding the required sprites and some special states for Tabuu. It quickly turned into something bigger once I actually added attacks and more systems to Tabuu and now he is an actual Boss character now, although he still incomplete.

I wanted to share to get feedback (and because it seemed like a waste to just keep it to myself). There are some things I should mention first:

There are many other things about Tabuu that are explained in the Info file, so be sure to read it. With all that out of the way, here is the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uhbfpuua5nfe6hq/TabuuSSBBVer7.zip/file

You know, you could just embed the screenshots into the post rather than having to link us to them on Mediafire.
Still, quite a good attempt to recreate Tabuu in MUGEN/IKEMAN.

Medium-sized update for Tabuu: https://www.mediafire.com/file/2f0axr76tactnxg/TabuuSSBBVer2.zip/file.

Now that Tabuu has more attacks, he should be much less predictable.

There are 4 more Power items with interesting effects, and some other minor changes, plus a new attack.

Have another update: https://www.mediafire.com/file/t3ftpthsp4d591i/TabuuSSBBVer4.zip/file

I knew that Tabuu would be kind of easy to defeat with the lives system, but after more testing, it became clear that he was simply way too easy to defeat due to several other factors (even some AI-controlled characters could win).

As such, this update adds more "Difficulty+" options to allow for a bigger challenge. It also reduces the amount of lives a Tag-Mode team has so that they effectively have "5 lives" when compared to a solo player or Simul-Mode team.

The last Difficulty+ option makes Tabuu's attacks much faster, which should solve the main problem with Tabuu; his attacks are extremely easy to dodge.

So I've been looking over Tabuu and trying to figure out, "How can I make him more of a challenge without resorting to cheapness like 99% of other Bosses for MUGEN/IKEMEN do?". Its not easy, but I think I've got something going here.

Tabuu was really easy to defeat at first because of his very slow attacks, so I added an option to speed them up. But it still doesn't seem to really help. I think the other reasons are that he is too predictable, and that the "Powers" I added are a bit too strong (especially Evershield & Healing Shield).

This update adds a new set of options you can enable in the Options file to increase the difficulty even more, and fixes various other minor things.

The new "Misc. Options" should help with increasing the difficulty. Hitting the Super-Armor now awards points in same way the default score system does, so no more weird score values.

About the "Dodge Detector" code... I added that to prevent the ultimate cheese against Tabuu. If anyone triggers this attack, tell me: was it a good idea?

Merry Christmas. Here is an update for Tabuu. The newest version of IKEMEN caused some odd issues with Tabuu and the stage, so I've fixed them and adjusted a lot of stuff: https://www.mediafire.com/file/hyq3g0675655n5e/TabuuSSBBVer6.zip/file

He should now have most of his attacks in some way. I'm aware that the "Electric Orbs" attack looks kinda odd, but it should be okay for now. As always, if there are any problems, tell me so I can fix them.

Hi again. Got an update for Tabuu here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/uhbfpuua5nfe6hq/TabuuSSBBVer7.zip/file

Changes:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

The most notable changes here are:

1. Some attacks can now can deal guard damage to a character who guards but doesn't take damage from the attack for some reason. This should make it harder for these kinds of characters to just tank every attack without any worry. This "Anti-No Guard Damage" system doesn't work vs. a Simul mode team since its very hard to properly track and apply damage to the right opponents.

2. Added a lot more options to customize the fight.

3. There is a new stage included with Tabuu. I didn't make it, I just edited it from the original. This edited stage should fit Tabuu much better than the other cheap stage I made.

If you find any problems, tell me so I can fix them.
