Hi everyone. My next character for MUGEN is Athena 2003.

KOF 2003 has a lot of issues and Athena in 2003 has even more issues. So I have added and changed some functionality in some of her moves to make her a more complete character. She should hopefully be released very soon.
Here is her palette sheet if you would like to make some palettes for her. Thanks to Jmorphman for the template:

To be honest, KOF 2003 is one of my favorites... lol
This outfit is one of my favourites too.

Well for starters, her Psycho Sword can actually combo from hard normals.

Her Psycho Ball is a bit slower to launch in 2003. Changing it so it combos would run the risk of making her too similar to XI, so instead, I changed the properties of a command normal unique to 2003
When she does Phoenix Fang Arrow, she doesn't suddenly turn into her 2002 version:

There's a bunch of other changes too. You'll see them all when she is released.

Wait, that's for real?! I never noticed that xD
Did some for her:
The first two are inspired by her XV colors, the last one it's her default, but inverted

Thank you for the palettes everyone. :)
I must ask the usual questions that I have to ask (ahahaha...) but you plan on doing any special states for her at all?
Made some palettes for her, I'll do more later. Hope you guys like it!
