Okay. I've never done this before, but watching all of the many characters get brought to life in MUGEN inspired me, and so, I was suddenly hit with this ambitious plan: To create DMC characters in MUGEN. So, my first W.I.P is to create Vergil (DMC3), Nero (DMC 4), and Dante (DMC 1-4) as best I could, aside from the sprite quality, as I'm not so good at the spriting. I only have one image at the moment, but I'm steady working on the rest, so here we go.

---

Vergil




Sprite Base: GGXX Johnny

Goals:

Create a Vergil based around a powerful defensive game, not combo oriented, but heavily strategy based.

Intended moveset:

Specials:

Rapid Slash
Judgement Cut (small)
Summon Swords
Spiral Swords
Aerial Rave
Air Trick
Trick Up
Trick Down

Supers:

Sword Storm
Blistering Swords
Rapid Helm Splitter
Judgement Cut (large)
Devil Trigger

Progress: 2% (Voices ripped, sprite work beginning.)
---

Nero

Goals: Create a Nero based entirely around combo grabs, similar to King from Tekken.

Intended Moveset:

Specials:

Buster (Low, Mid, High)
Resulting Grabs based on the moves displayed on different enemies during DMC4
Roulette Spin
High Roller
Streak
Split
Calibur
Shuffle
Exceed System (move boost, similar to Order Sol)

Supers:

Devil Trigger (Will be a requirement to use the other specials.)
Maximum Bet
Showdown

Progress: 0% (hopefully will change by later today...)
---

Dante:

Goals: Create a Dante true to his gameplay abilities circa DMC4, enabling stylish combos of insane length. (Most ambitious project EVAH!!!)

Intended Moveset:

Specials:

Style Change
Weapon Change

Rebellion:

Stinger
High Time
Helm Breaker
Round Trip
Million Stab

Supers: Dance Macabre (SM)
Over Drive(SM)

Beowulf

Zodiac
Rising Dragon
Beast Uppercut
Kick 13
Rising Sun
Killer Bee

Supers

Divine Dragon
Real Impact (SM)

Cerberus

Revolver
Satellite
Windmill
Flicker
Crystal

Supers
Million Carats
Ice Age (SM)

Agni & Rudra

Jet Stream
Whirlwind
Million Slash
Sky Dance
Twister

Supers

Crawler
Tempest (SM)

Royal Guard

Guard
Perfect Guard

Supers

Release
Juggernaut

Gunslinger

Twosome Time

Supers

Rainstorm
Wild Stomp

Trickster

Dash/Double/Triple
Sky Star
Air Hike
Just Evasion

Progress: 1% (Voices ripped. This ain't movin from 1% for a looooong time.)

I intend to add more to Dante, but I wanna get what I have on my plate done first, then add to him.

So there it goes, for better or for worse.

While I'd love to help with your Dante, the two things stopping me are 1. My lack of spriting experience, and 2, the fact that I'm still working on Vergil, and I don't want to disappoint any deadlines you may have.

Vergil's sprite looks good, Johnny was an excellent base afterall. \o/

Only real thing that stands out is the head, but W.I.P. sprites are W.I.P.'s for a reason.

Like your ideas and hope to see more later.

@ DMK: Do you have any advice you could give me towards spriting Vergil's head? As previously mentioned, my spriting's not all that good, so I'll take any help I can get.

I can't give great detail, but there are some extremly good spriters on this forum who can give some terrffic feedback and help you get on a good track.

I have a bad way of judgeing scale of how a head should be shaped to his body.

Mainly just the eye postions I think and perhaps the forehead.

Shouldn't be to long till a true spriter enters and gives you far better tips.

Alright. Still, thanks for the help. I'll try moving his eyes around, see where I get.

Anywho, Another sprite preview up.

Coat is too dark, in the game it's more of a pale blue.
Sword holder thing should be black.

Ditch Nero for Trish. (Or Lady)

Ditch Royal Guard (think that's an enemy?) for Nevan.

Ditch "trickster" For Jester/Arkham.


You'll be set! ;)


Interesting project, goodluck!

Trish, Lady, and Jester/Arkham will all probably be created at some point depending on how well these three go.

Royal Guard is there cause I wanted to see if I could pull off a parry system that didn't involve just pushing the left or right key. Plus, Royal Guard is friggin' awesome  ;P, and I really don't feel like attempting Nevan's tune-up stances just yet. Everything else for Dante's gonna be hard enough.

But still, thanks for the input!

lolz, royal guard and trickster are two of Dante's gameplay styles. Looks like a DMC mugen invasion is in the works, cvs dante by DT, SNK Dante by me and my friends (maximum impact team), cvs vergil by az cal, and now a ggxx vergil. Too sweet...

Just spike up the hair, and add the detail to the sword.  Vergil in a good way! +1 for the custom spriting!
