Title: Solid Snake by SeanAltly (w/AI by Kamekaze) - 2011 Massive Update
Post by: Sean Altly on June 01, 2011, 06:04:42 am

So it was about 95 degrees today here in Burlington, NC, but it's still technically spring. So, to celebrate June 1st as an unofficial start of summer, I'm releasing this! I've given Solid Snake a huge update, similar to the one Rorschach recently received. Here's a brief list of what's been updated (spoiler'd since it's pretty huge):

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

-Sprites updated to my current style, with better shading, some smoother anims, and more color depth. For example, the two main colors of his sneaking suit (the darker gray and the lighter gray) are now 5 shades each rather than 3 each like they were before.
-All new AI by Kamekaze which use's 1.0's AI Level feature, like my other recent characters. Of course, that means it's 1.0 only until someone makes a patch.
-Removed his Solid Barrage super move, so it would differentiate him more from The Specialist, and because it both wasn't his style and he didn't really need it. Even without it he still has 5 supers (High Famas, Low Famas, C4 Grab, Stinger Missile, and Genome Soldiers).
-Added new hi-res explosion FX for his grenades and Stinger (FX are credit to Ryon).
-Added envshake to his specials, supers and throws so they have more visual impact.
-Replaced forward hop with a Run (using all new sprites). Greatly improves his rushdown game, especially useful after hitting with the Stun Grenade.
-Speaking of the Stun Grenade, I reduced the clsn area so it's not a full screen attack, but gave Snake the ability to roll it at 3 different speeds, which effects where the explosion occurs, meaning he can use it as a zoning move.
-Changed many of his commands. Check the ReadMe for specifics, but the biggest changes are that he doesn't use charge commands for his SOCOM anymore, and his Claymore is now D,D,P rather than D,DB,B,P (I needed to free up that command for the new SOCOM commands).
-Added an assertspecial that stops music during Codec win poses so you can hear the dialogue better.
-Made him slightly faster and much more combo friendly.
-Tons of minor and major code fixes here and there (since I've learned a lot about proper code and game mechanics since I first created him), including flagging recovery frames, adjusted hitvels, hittimes, recovery times, etc., all of which work to make him more balanced, efficient, and hopefully not broken. Kamekaze also made his clsns more balanced.
-All Socom shots do less damage but have less startup/recovery.
-New aesthetic updates, such as dust when jumping, new jump sounds, etc.
-Just generally a massive update that makes him better in every way.

Here are some screens:

Thanks for the update, will test ASAP. :)
Nice to see one of your most famous characters getting some brand new things and being up-to-date with your latest creations.

Also, who's this Obsydian guy ? The stone/cryo counter part of Byrne, or an EX version for SoM2 ? He looks badass too. :)

Yeah, he's sort of an "EX Byrne".

He's a Shades 2 boss.

Nice update, good to see you're still supporting your older characters.

Yeah, he's a powered up version of Byrne. Byrne is an angry Anarchist, and basically he learns that the intensity of his powers is controlled by his anger, and this is what happens to him when he allows himself to be consumed by rage. He is faster, has a different moveset and more powerful supers, but also has less health (basically like Shin Akuma). I made him on a whim one day because I wanted to make a "God" or "Shin" type of character for fun, and Obsydian is the result of that.

Post by: Berry on June 01, 2011, 07:15:11 am

Figured he would be a Shin Akuma of the game. Let me guess he's not playable then?

-The position add on his medium kick looks odd to me(I assume it is posadd)
-has no small portrait(no biggie)
-If you set a mine, then do your Famas super(2qcf+p) then step on your mine. The mine counts in the super's combo count  :o

That's all I found so far. That last one was by complete accident

Post by: Sean Altly on June 01, 2011, 07:43:03 am

No small portrait? What? I must have messed something up somewhere because he's supposed to have one.

EDIT: I just downloaded it, and he has a sprite 9000,0, so I have no idea what's up.

Being a die hard fan of metal gear, I must say I'm truly impress with all of his updates. Great good bro! 8)

Post by: Lost_Avenger on June 01, 2011, 07:46:23 am

Its black on my vs screen, but not in battle.\

The mine thing is if I step on the mine after the 12th hit hits. Not my opponent. Just to clear that up

Title: Re: Solid Snake by SeanAltly (w/AI by Kamekaze) - 2011 Massive Update
Post by: Sean Altly on June 01, 2011, 07:51:09 am

Ah, I figured it out. Uploading a patch now. D'oh!

EDIT: Alright, here's a patch, basically just his .sff for those who already DL'd. I'll replace the link in the first post with the fixed version, so those downloading after this won't need the patch.

There, the video and sound quality suck and it probably recorded some random bg noise from in my room, but that is the bug.

Yeah, I reproduced it just fine, it just seems pretty minor and I'm just waiting for some more feedback before I do an update. Thanks though.

Wow Sean, you're certainly becoming one of the current top Mugen creators. I enjoy your style and flair as Snake and Rorschach are two of your best offerings. Who deserve a permanent fixture in anyone's roster. It's also nice to see that you're keeping with Mugen's updates by refining your creations, like GM and P.o.T.S.

Fantastic Sean. Looking forward to what you have in store next. How about.... the Ninja from Metal Gear Solid??

Really nice update to a great character, he's as enjoyable to play with as ever. A few things:

 - His Game Over music clashes with the stage music, so might want to assert nomusic when he dies.
 - Since he's 1.0 now, how about some winquotes?

Title: Re: Solid Snake by SeanAltly (w/AI by Kamekaze) - 2011 Massive Update
Post by: Sean Altly on June 01, 2011, 08:58:42 pm

Ah, forgot about the WinQuotes again, like I did with Rorschach. He'll get some in a future update.

Medium Hand Grenade can be chained up to 4 times if performed quick enough, leading to more than 200 damage.

That's all really. Great update. :)
