Siege (Real Name Unknown)
  -Country of Origin: Unknown
  -Fighting Style: Unknown
  -Nickname: The First Lady of War

PLANNED MOVELIST

COMMAND NORMALS

-Ascia - F+HK - a hopping overhead attack
-Descensio - D,D+HK in air - A directly downward moving kick that cuts her jump short and attacks on the way down

SPECIAL MOVES

-Rapide - Charge B,F+K - Performs an extremely quick dash that acts almost like a teleport
  -Umbra - LP at end of dash - Performs a stabbing straight attack

Transvenio - DP or RDP+K - Performs a diagonal upward or backward teleport-style dash (ala Decapre)
  -Telum - F,D, or B+HK - Does a swift diving kick in the desired direction
  -Rapide - F,D, or B+LK - performs an airborne version of Rapide in the desired direction, which can then be followed by Telum

-Gladio - QCF+P up to 3 times - A rekka-style series of blade-like slash attacks

-Ascensio - Charge D,U+K - A slashing anti-air attack

SUPER MOVES

-Offense Drive - Obsidio - QCFx2+P - Does a forward dash attack, and if it connects, is followed by a blazing fast series of slashing attacks

-Defense Drive - Chasma - QCBx2+P - Strikes a defensive pose, and if the opponent is near her or comes near during, she automatically teleports upwards and comes down on them with a devastating slash attack

-Maximum Overdrive - Ferrum Sphaera - QCFx2+K - She winds up and unleashes a massive spinning energy blade that travels to mid-screen and lingers for a couple of seconds. Doesn't do any more damage than her other Drives but allows for a free combo if it connects and can't be jumped over.

Nice progress and update!

For some reason, I prefer her appearance ingame than in artworks.
I cannot explain it well.

I'm curious to see her in action.

Maybe it's the sunglasses?

She's next after I finish Atleif's sprites are done. I'm going to update the first post with her planned moveset as well. She's gonna be a combination of Decapre, Yang, and Leona if that makes sense.

I really love her appearance, its the stronger design in the entire game in my opinion. Looking forward to see more details about her gameplay. Decapre, Yang and Leona have very distinct goals all in all, so I'm not really sure if I can paint a picture out of that combination, but I'm guessing she is a charge character with strong pokes, but also can rushdown with rekkas? In any case, hyped to play her in the future.

You pretty much nailed it, she's got a charge anti-air, a rekka, plus a quick shift/teleport that can travel forward, diagonally upward or straight upward with follow-ups. She's designed to move suddenly and swiftly while hitting you from different directions with a lot of quick, low damage attacks that add up fast.

Damn, that sounds amazing! I really love the direction of the character. I know you are not particularly taking suggestions, but have you considered giving her charge moves that are stored up and forwards like Vatista from UNIST?

I'm thinking on:

2~8 for the anti air
4~6 and 6~4 for teleport and/or rekkas
8~2 for an overhead that can be performed in the ground or in the air

The quirk would be to store twice as much charge while being in the air, this way you could give her a 32-36 frame jump so she can store 24 frames of charge for all of her stuff.

This way jumping would become really scary and hard to read, in neutral but especially during oki. She could neutral jump and:

1) Do an air-to-air normal.
2) Perform the 8~2 overhead.
3) Empty jump and use the 2~8 anti-air on land.
4) Empty jump and use a crouching kick for the mixup with 8~2.
5) Empty jump and use the teleport and/or rekkas on land.

This can be very much done by having some specials be charge moves and some specials be motion, but by making them charge moves you can buff them into really strong moves to fit the sub-boss theme of the character.

Damn, sorry for ranting on your project  :P but the character is very pog and got me hyped.

Pretty good!
Always a surprise to see some new characte rin action.

All of them looked good.
But the walk animation looks a bit off to me. I cannot really explain why...

Might be because it's too fast, accidentally saved at the wrong speed. Plus I still need to add hair movement, I always forget to do that

Here's her Rekka special, called Gladio

Wish I could say they were! I've been trying to get animation bases from less obvious sources lately and it's good to know it's working.

For her Ascensio special I downloaded some rips of Nash from SFV and used his anti-air/Genocide Cutter type move, but changed the timing, the direction of the kick and made some other edits so it isn't so obviously the same move, since the function of her special isn't supposed to be a standard flash kick/GC type anti air, but more like Leona/Heidern's Moon Slasher. The Ascio animation is a a heavy edit of some of the frames along with some other stuff. Umbra is an edit of Leona's Neomax from KOFXIII and Rapide is a combination of frames from Heidern and Nash.

Check out this preview video! I changed my plans for her Maximum Overdrive, taking inspiration from Heidern in KOFXIV, because I thought it was cool and because my original plan seemed too similar to his Offense Drive.
