Here is the current sprite sheet. I used a program to make it so some are not in order. If anyone wants to help organize this please let me know so I can save time!
http://justnopoint.com/Stuff/x/x.png - link only as it is quite large
Things to note:
I collected everything I could find. Old and new. So there are duplicates.
Some CS needs to occur. The 2 shades of white for the eyes. The teeth. The 2 shades of green for his iris. All armors should not share a palette with Vanilla X. They can share colors with themselves since many have the white, red, blue, yellow motif. The unique armors like 4th, Gaea, Shadow, etc shouldn't share.
So here is the completed move list I'm leaning toward.

down, down + SP - Blaster - X1 charge shot! One of my favorites!

The order is Head, Body, Blaster, Legs so if you are gaining a body armor and have 2 super stock left you will also gain blaster and legs.

I'm jumping between the idea of making commissioning X or Adult Anita. Leaning towards X.
It's looking like X needs several get hits. Many of his basics are finished but I don't like some of them. His walk back animation isn't there. Didn't see crouch, turn, blocking sprites. So those would be 1st to get made.
Anyway, possible new basics aside
Let's talk specials!
So how should X play?
Well I want him to have to sort of level up as you play him.
X won't really use the special weapons (outside of some basics or special basics). We have MegaMan for that. Instead I feel he should try to power up in each fight.
So his starting special abilities will be as follows.
Cling to walls
Being able to jump off the walls
Dash Jump ability
Dash jump off walls with kick
QCB + Punch to charge blaster *hold punch and he won't charge. he will fire his small shot. You can fire up to 3 if you keep holding the button
QCB + Punch to release blast
This is all the special attacks I want him to have!
Now for his power ups!
You can give X more abilities by gaining armor parts
You can mix parts but you cannot have more than 1 of the same part
To gain a part you will call an Light Capsule by using super meter. Go in the capsule to get the upgrade.
X1 armor parts
Head - allows the jumping animation to be an attack by itself. X can attack with his head. Even jumping through projectiles that may rain upon him
Body - X takes less damage (not sure how much yet, it's 50% in source)
Blaster - X1 charge shot! One of my favorites!
Legs - Increases damage to all kick attacks.
X2 parts
Head - Gain curser shot. You can send a curser out to locate and drop life capsules
Body - Gain the Giga Crush Attack. New super? New meter filled by getting hit? New special? Dunno yet
Blaster - Double Charge Shot!
Boots - Gives X the ability to air dash left, right, and up
Gaining all 4 parts of the X1 armor will give him the X3 chip which gives faster super meter raising, and defense shield
All 4 X2 parts will give him the ability to change the max charge shot released
LP = Plasma Shot - When it strikes an object it leaves behind a plasma ball that keeps damaging
MP = Shoots X3 Blast where you can combine the shots into a huge one.
SP = Not sure yet
He also gains the X3 chip which gives him 2 air dashes
Other super moves would include:
Ultimate Armor Nova Strike
Ride Armor Super - Probably some sort of auto combo where he gets a ride armor and does various attacks from different armors of MMX games
Sub Tank - calls a sub tank in that you must collect. It could appear in various locations at random
Use this to fill your life back up
How does the Armor system work? Wouldn't this make for a ton of sprite work?
Nope my plan is that X will only change into another armor (or part of him will) while he uses their abilities. So no throw bugs and we don't have to redraw the armors for every sprite X has. Thoughts?
