A link to the file, and not to the forum thread can help.

And only by looking to the screenshots i can say it has the same problem than some of IMT megaman characters: a choppy and "deadlike" face.

Easy for you to say, you have a vendetta. These are typical low res mugen sprites, not high res Guilty Gear stuff

Back on topic:
Here is a quick Bass video, look pretty MvC-ish to me. Combos, Aireal Raves, dash, super jump, what's missing?

(give it a second as it's uploading)

Shadow Man has a nose at least. Being low res sprites isnt a excuse to omit details.

And the Bass is the best Chaotic character, not perfect, as the sprites isn't MvC enough and the gameplay is lacking, but is a lot better than EoH Rolento, Human Torch, Hobgoblin and Sentry

Considering ChAoTiC's awful MegaMan, crappy Bass and half decent Protoman, I think I wanna skip this one.

I wonder what makes you say "aweful megaman", "crappy bass"... etc...

The character's aren't buggy to my knowledge so it makes me wonder if it's the combo chains, or the special moves, or what specifically triggers that comment?

Its the fact that they're clunky pieces of crap, have terribly implemented FX, and are not even remotely close to marvel gameplay.

Play Cyclops by Splode.  It is a good Marvel character.

Play Wolverine by Vyn. Again, good Marvel character.

Now.  Compare to Bass, Megaman, or... THIS, by Chaotic.

It should be painfully, painfully PAINFULLY OBVIOUS.  CHAOTIC IS DOING IT WRONG.

EDIT: As is most of IMT, sans cray. 

The only part that was made by me is that this was taken from my old Apocalypse. X_X

type = hitdef
triggerall = statetype = "low tolerance"
trigger1 = P2sprites != good
trigger2 = (P2commands = akwards) && (P2combo <= 3)
damage = 1000,5
hitflag = MAFD

Kung Fu Man gives Haggar a disapproval Bitch Slap!!!



But seriously guys...it could have been much worse...give it time, I'm pretty sure it'll shape up into a solid character.

- Awesome CLSN box during crouching HP.

- Incredible MP launcher. First image = when opponent falls down. Second image = one tick later.

- Wonderful debug flood during web throw.
- Is it normal that web throw misses if I perform, for example, LP then HP quickly ?
- Nice how web shoot in the air pushes Spiderman backwards before he even shoots.
- Ultimate Web Throw also has ultimate debug flood (cf. next image).
- CLSNs during Crawler Assault are so good that the last hit doesn't touch.

- Iron Spider ... amazing custom state for the opponent.

Conclusion : As the name of the character says, this Spiderman is AMAZING ... NOT !

Acey, I was a bit bored this morning and started tweaking that incomplete stage...BTW, who's the author...X-Boy? From the .def I can tell he's french, but I don't recognize him from any of the mugen forums.

I'll let you know when I'm done, but it'll probably be by the end of this weekend.

What can you expect from a crappy team like IMT, where over 80% of their releases are broken. Remember, these are the same people that sponser Kong. Oh well, thank God for Scruffy Dragon. At least SOME people know what it takes to make a good character.

No, I didn't edit anything : it's something I pointed out to Kong numerous times, and it's an easy fix, but since he never listens ...

Explanation : When you say which hitsparks to use, you can either use custom hitsparks from the char's SFF, or you can put the "s" attribute to make it use hitsparks from data/fightfx.sff.
Using the default hitsparks (aka those from data/fightfx.sff) is fine, but you must ALWAYS use hitsparks which are indeed default ones. Kong seems to be using a screenpack with a CUSTOM fightfx, with added sprites. It turns out my fightfx too has custom sprites/animations, which come from Syn's interactive stages. This results in clashing code, since Kong's coding says to display animations which have the same number as those added by Syn for his stages ... which results in the funky results I've shown.

Each time I do a "first attack", or a combo which I guess shoult display "marvelous" or somehting like that, I get a wonderful explosion animation, or a Mortal Kombat floor.

I guess you'll have to go in state-2 or state-3 and search for the explods displayed when you do particular things such as long combos, and remove all the related code.

Final note : know that I can be harsh with my feedback, but it's always honest one. I'll never go and modify a character or stage just to mock it afterwards. I have enough material as it is to mock something I don't like, I don't need to go as far as editing it...

The stage is what bothers me...it looks like it was rushed out the backdoor when it could have waited more. Besides the already pointed out stuff, that purple water in the day time looks very weird, should be blue or greenish, and the land the city's sitting on does not look believable enough(look at first pic with two Haggars) I will tweak it on my own because the arrangement does hold much potential.

If indeed this has stolen code/sprites from other characters,why don't i see the original creators of said codes/sprites complaining about it? (Barring JasonTodd for the use of the sprites he made for IMT Batman)

It's very possible Magus lent him some sprites from his old Batman, or other sprites were used as reference but not used directly.

I also checked IMT myself and found NO mention of sprites from their batman being stolen there.
