Trailer was great. Seems like Buu still has his heavily shaded pectorals? Are you guys sticking with those?

I have to go back and change all the old sprites and make sure the animations are still smooth. I'll do it eventually...

Okay guys I want your feedback on the puddle mode, what do you feel about it? From seeing it operate?Here are the deeds, by pressing down down and holding down you enter a second stance.In this stance you can't attack but your hitboxes are minimal and you can't be grabbed.Once hit you are thrown into getup anim, forcing you out of the stance.You can enter the secondary stance in two more ways.By holding Down while using aerial SK ( the sleepy bye bye attack) where Buu passes zout mid jump and sleeps until he connects with the floor.By holding down when shooting his Maniac ball attack against the floor.Buu is being developed to have weird basics, which include attacking from anatomically impossible poses and using all parts of his body to attack.
I think the animation needs work. Someone mentioned that the goop should kinda roll, like in waves. Right now it just kinda stretches and contracts. As for the function, how long is the recovery when you get out of it? You can't attack in the mode, so do you recover quickly enough for a cross-under mix-up? If it's too reactable, I'd probably want to stay near it and punish it when he exits the mode. Glacius has a similar move in Killer Instinct, and he uses it to low-profile fireballs and sometimes close distance when he's being out-zoned. He also has an ability where he liquidizes and travels a certain distance and goes immediately into an uppercut. This can also cross-up opponents if they're close enough. Maybe you guys should look to that character for some solid data on how it effects his play.It seems like a decent concept for an escape function, or maybe to make some attacks safe if you can cancel into it.... but it's offensive potential is hard to gauge without knowing more.Also hard to know if I'd use it without knowing Buu's full move-set and style. If he doesn't have any moves that have strong synergy with it., for like strong set-ups or whatever.
- How long can he stay as a puddle?- At 0:51 and at 0:58 he should spin the other way when going upwards or downwards (he should spin anti-clockwise);- I just noticed that his aerial SK (Sleepy bye-bye attack) sprite has fingers on his hands while in most of his other sprites he hasn't.Also I feel like this post was overlooked so I'm quoting this:Alpha Proto said, June 06, 2016, 01:42:39 pmI don't like the way Buu moved when he was a puddle.I think it would look better if the puddle waved at the bottom like a slug instead of inching like a worm. example.The inching forward is cool, but adding a wave at the bottom helps.Tapering the end also helps give weight to the direction he is moving in.

If he doesn't have any moves that have strong synergy with it., for like strong set-ups or whatever.He's meant to be able to stay in it as far as he wants right now, but he can be attacked by any low attacks, he can avoid any fireballs with it. His getup is not invulnerable and he can't attack straight out of it. It's main function is avoiding and fast moving. He trades all possibilities of attacking for his vcery high mobility. Ideal way to use it, avoid fireball spam by madly dashing under them, popup and attack .Ive been toying with the idea to give him a wakeup attack out of it but right now it would be extremely cheap.EVerything is bound to change depending on how he does during beta testing tho.His specials moveset right now is as follows.Maniac ball, a changing direction rolling attack, where he can change direction once during the flight ( Ex allows for several flight changes)Turn to chocolate! A cursing move, hits only close to him, turns opponents into a non attacking, non defending candy form that wobbles around. Opponents revert on a hard hit.Pop up kick : otg kick that pops up at several different distances.HARK: spitting move, its an arc traveling fireball.His odd basics are his main strenght, the other attacks give him his own flavour.Hypers are still being fleshed out so I will hold out on talking about those for now.
Well, with Glacius, he actually has two separate commands. One where he can just liquidize and move on the ground with low-profile... pretty much identical to what Buu currently has, if I understand correctly. Then he has his puddle-punch, which has him liquidize and move a set distance and come out immediately into an uppercut. So... it's more of a commitment, you can't just liquidize and move anywhere and then attack. It sorta works like Yang's rolling kick, except it will cross under an opponent and auto-correct for a mix-up.Not sure if that's an avenue you guys would want to explore... I'm sure there's plenty of variations on the concept that could be played with. It seems like HARK might have some potential to mesh with puddle mode. I guess it depends on the projectile arc and speed. I was thinking if you could throw a full-screen HARK and have enough time to go into puddle-mode and travel to your opponent, you could use the block-stun of the HARK projectile to cover your get-up animation and start some pressure, or get a mix-up.
One of the Hypers is featured on the video, so we can also explain its behaviorHeavy Rain Lv1Buu launches 6-7 fireballs into the sky which will fall on top of the enemy after some delay. The button press will determine the scattering of the different projectiles on the screen.Due to the delay, it will be used as combo starter or mid-in-combo (start hitting the enemy before the projectiles fall to the ground)

He will be released when we believe it's the right time after finishing the character and ironing out all the problems
