if this comes out this year it will give vegeta a run for his money and im all for that. an actual competition would be great.
Dude, DCat, you're on a roll with all of this! I'm loving the inclusion of the "my toe!" animation.Niko the Majin said, November 14, 2012, 01:45:10 pmALong with Vegeta screaming: "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!"Yes, perfect! Do it!
RobotMonkeyHead said, November 14, 2012, 07:19:49 pmI could see the new hopping custom state coming in handy for a lot of different characters / moves in the future if it becomes common place. Hopefully foresight provides people with incentive to update and add it! Is there a list somewhere of all the 'suggested' popular custom states? Like:ElectrocutionBurningMidnight BlissMutagenHoppingetc.Also Super Shredder is looking bad ass! Can't wait for the release man, +1 all your effort really puts your characters in a class of their own. @RobotMonkeyHead: Dcat said, November 14, 2012, 04:59:06 amcheck out the Optional Animation Standards thread.YagamiBrando said, November 14, 2012, 06:46:19 pm+1I'm too, even more excited now By the way - Dcat are you planning to code AI for Shredder yourself? Or you will code it only for Krang?-Krang's AI is only a partial attempt on my part. I wanted to ask Veanko to code the AI for all of my characters if he'd be willing to. I was really impressed with his earlier work for my turtles as well as his recent character treatments. I guess I'm officially calling him out to step up once again Veanko.I'm really glad you guys are fired up for the character, I'm pretty proud of how much I've put into him. There's still quite a bit more to go though. -I fixed the issue I was having with Super Shredder's normal attacks glitching the character when the opponent counters them with a reversaldef. All of Super Shredder's attacks are either helper based normals or helper based projectiles.-I've got ideas to have Super Shredder negate that super armor / infinite hitstun conundrum by allowing him control prematurely (after he takes some appropriate damage), or having him teleport out of it maybe. This is tricky since I need to keep him beatable by the turtles, right now the best option for Turtles vs Super Shredder is to attack him after he uses one of his aura specials just like in the old arcade games. My characters combo so quickly though that you can stun him until the end of the round unless I put some sort of fail-safe in there to prevent it. C.A.N's idea of a combo breaker might be the best idea here as it could be an automatic offensive knock-back attack. Maybe the classic Lightning Crusher pose from TMNT SNES -Lengthened the time that Super Shredder's transformed from 3000 ticks to 4000 ticks since I got annoyed that he kept ending Super Shredder mode mere hits before I could kill him while transformed. It got me to thinking that it might be better for Super Shredder mode to remain active for the duration of the round instead of the timer system I have now. I've got to add that whole config deal that moep mentioned earlier in the thread, with a proper configuration file I could have both. -Still need to do Super Shredder's Thunder Wave super attack, all the sprites are ready just got to get to coding-That ever elusive air super will never cease to haunt this project, I'll get to it eventually. Refined idea is to have Shredder do a giant powerful upwards swipe maybe (Tournament Fighters Aura Crusher style or with the Sword of Tengu like in TMNT Smash Up) which instantly puts P2 into the upwards falling hit animation where they're then hit by a crisscross pattern of Foot Soldiers then finally sent to the ground where Shredder and company flash in an add insult to injury with a cool Foot Clan group pose.-I've got the April intro/helper working a bit more properly now, I still need to add the winscreen to it though and code the corresponding special winpose for the Turtles.

Quotedo you think it will be out in time for char of the year voting? Would be cool, but looks like Dcat will have to work for quite some time on shredder. Let's hope it will be at least this winter.
Let Vegeta win this year, and next year let's look at the fierce competition between SSJ Goku, Shredder, Krang, Mel Masters and Bluestreak.
Laharl said, November 15, 2012, 07:01:50 pmdo you think it will be out in time for char of the year voting?Guys guys guys.. you should stop to pressurise Dcat to haste, it don't makes any difference if the char gets finished before or after the voting, and we all should have some more patience with that, because we all want to play a good char and a good char needs some time to be created.
There's no pressure. He just asked if he will be finished before this year is up. A legit, unbadgering question.

I opt for other chars to be in that competition as well. Like Jin by either DS or DKDC, and Skullomania by Sean and I.

DDD+Taunt for example.-Make it perma-Make an option in the config to allow perma or timedFoot Clan Group Pose. Oh...oh my....this sounds extremely bad ass. Maybe a funny Ginyu Force Style pose? I just have so many different ways this good look in my head it's scary. Like Shredder looking all Gangsta either standing like Sagat when he crosses his arms and laughs, standing with his back to the screen with his cape flowing, or very samurai/yakuza looking. Like how Mitsurugi in Soul Calibur kind of does when he whens and crouches down and points his katana in the loser's face.
Niko the Majin said, November 16, 2012, 02:12:34 amFoot Clan Group Pose. Oh...oh my....this sounds extremely bad ass.Very good idea. For a group pose, I thinking something along the lines of this should be in place:"Make no mistake, they are exceptionally well trained."Something like what happens after he snaps his fingers should be worked in for Shredder's robotic Ninjas. Epic.
Hey guys I've been busy Thanks to the generous contribution of RobotMonkeyHead Shredder now has a fully animated idle stance. He really did a great job!UPDATE 11/18/2012: Made a config file with Super Shredder Options, among them you can :-Have infinite timer during Super Shredder mode-Start Round 2 as Super Shredder (this disables the human commands for Super Shredder at all times) -Always play as Super Shredder (includes special Super Shredder intro from the arcade for Round 1. This option overrides all other options as every round will be in Super Shredder form and the timer will never deplete)It functions perfectly at the moment, I don't think I'll put the once per match restriction on accessing Super Shredder mode that I originally mentioned in the final version. It could be way too restrictive especially for human players, making it limited to once per match seems more like a condition that the AI should stick to. What do you guys think?Also coded the basic combo breaker attack its an homage to Cyber Shredder's special from Tournament Fighters on the SNES.I still need audio rips of C.Shredd's voice and the sound fx from Tournament Fighters to add to this attack, if anybody can provide me with these I'd much appreciate it, I have no idea how to go about ripping from SNES games.While I'm at it I may as well ask for the full Sound Effects from Turtles in Time as well (either Arcade or SNES version). What's available online isn't the full deal and there's tons missing from what I recall. ===What's next?=====-I'll be trying to tackle Super Shredder's Thunder Wave super next.-Also just going to toss some Foot Soldier sprites into the .SFF, regardless of color separation, and get down to business on that air super. Its way too nebulous still.-For all those who were asking earlier, I'm aiming for a Christmas 2012 release of all of my TMNT WIPS (Shredder, Krang, and the Turtles). If I don't make that date however expect a late December or early Januray release date.

Hey Dcat, thanks for the awesome update, as usual Shredder looks to be kicking some serious ass!Here are links to "all" audio rips from TMNT Tournament Fighters and Turtles in Time for the SNES. Sound effects from SNES games can be ripped using a tool called SNESSOR. When I ran SNESSOR on the Turtles in Time SNES rom I got the exact same sound effects as the link I provided, so I think it's as complete a set as possible.
