Martial Masters Project

[KenshinHimura]

Hello!
I wish to start a project based in Martial Masters which include both characters and stages based on the game. I have artmoney resources for the project and to start off:

======
-Crane
======
Special Skills: Crane Fist
Age : 19
Sex: Female
Personality : Introverted, doesn't like conversation
Hobby : Reading Books, Astrology, Zodiac
Relative : Father (Missing)
Her father was "Martial Master" brother. She was grown up with
"Martial Master" Dragon and used to play together. She doesn't have
many friends, because of her personality. Besides Dragon, SaoJin is
the  only one she can have a conversation with; she hated most the
Casanova Scorpion. The Rescue Mission and its planning put her in
anxiety.

She just have started and is not avaiable for any betatesting yet. I´m adding more stuff in Master Huang before a beta release. She´ll have a custom mode like Master Huang and also I´m planning a modern version of her with a new storyline and also a real name.
Other characters:

======
-Snake
======
Special Skills : Snake Fist
Age : 22
Sex: Female
Personality : Determinate. To get anything without thinking
consequences
Hobby : Herself
Relative : Parents and two Sisters

Belongs to another Multi-Millionaire Family in Canton. Excellent
relationship between her family and Scorpion King's. She was engaged
to Scorpion King since childhood. But Scorpion King was fond to women
and didn't take serious of this engagement. He was profound In Crate
Fist and this made her hate this art of skill. After Scorpion King
went abroad, there was peace finally at "Martial Master".

======
-Reika
======
Special Skills: Family Ancient Fight Techniques
Age : 14
Sex: Female
Personality : Happy Nature, Strong Curiosity
Hobby : To Collect Everything Cute-Looking
Relative : Both parents dead

Father Unknown, Mother was killed, when she was little. The White
Lotus Sect failed to kidnapped her, and slaughtered the village, when
she was twelve. She got injured during the fight, and was rescued by
Drunk Master. After healing, she fought against the White Lotus Sect,
and tried to find out the reason for kidnapping her. Combined Drunk
Master and Chi, she developed special skills, like Deadly Kick and
Small Moon Kick. (The Big Moon Kick requires a lot of Energy.)

I was making these characters from above, however Fervicante did them first. And I must admit he did a very good job. However I cannot give up of them and I wish to use these for my project. And I´ll do my best to not made then "carbon copies" of both Fervicante´s versions:


I´ll need spriters for this project and other people who can help with coding. I´ll be providing material, but spritepacks with the correct axis will be only arranged when I get more time.

I wish buckus would help out.  I've tried PM'ing but no replies yet.  He mentioned in his post that it's too time consuming to rip sprites, but he'd code if the sprites were available.  So it seems like he'd be into this?

[MDI]

Looks very promising. Hopefully this will lead to a conversion of Lotus Master one day!

Nice to see you've started on a big project!
We haven't got much MM characters so, this will be very nice.
Good luck Ken.

You can use my color separation and fix patch for Fervicante's Red Snake you can download it from my site!

Problem is the fact I´ll use my Red Snake, not Fervicante´s. So it´s useless for me. Ghost Kick, Tiger and Monk will be added, but without customs.

[videoman]

Well I can make the Color separation patch compatible with yours once it gets released!

[Count Monte]

Videoman,  on an unrelated note:  Are you able to make a color separation patch for my Bruce Lee so that his hair can be turned black without affecting his skin tones? 

You can see the char here:

I can send the wip for you so you can help with the color separation, it can help a lot. Also, can you do a color separation for Reika as well? It would rock. If you wanna test Master Huang then tell me. Well, I´ll feature his custom version here when I can.

[jinquan]

you've started a lovely project. hope will finish it soon, can you post the description for Reika "as quoted for Snake and Crane"

[videoman]

OK I will work on Red Snake first! This patch for Red Snake will add a extra color to her bracelets, makes her eyes visible, the dress will be separate and new to the patch the underwear will be separate!

As for Reika that's no problem!

[1983parrothead]

Nice. Will you also be converting other IGS games like The Killing Blade and Alien Challenge (MAME'd as Huang Fei Hong)?

[Count Monte]

Parrothead,

I don't think Alien Challenge has been emulated yet, there's no way to rip the sprites.  However, I know how to rip sprites from Killing Blade.  I was looking at a couple of those chars today, not sure if I want to spend the time on it though.
If you want to do it yourself, I can tell you how.

[KenshinHimura]

Yep, Alien Challenge is not emulated... Not sure if it´ll ever will.
More images of Crane:



Even though it´ll be a full game, I don´t mind to release characters first.

[Nnaajj]

I'm not familiar with the character but, she looks good.
Oh and is the game going to be a replica of martial masters? Or a game with martial masters characters and new mechanics and systems?

[KenshinHimura]

I´m thinking about adding elements from other games and special attacks which the characters does certain poses which if attacked, they instantly counter attack. I´m working on Crane for now and soon the Master Huang custom for the project will be featured. On my vacation I´ll have lots of free time to work on the chars and stuff.

[Count Monte]

First we just need to get the chars into MUGEN -- then ideally have replicas of MM gameplay, and custom versions (6 button etc)

[KenshinHimura]

Here is a new set of screenshots for Crane:
a) Weak Kick (close):

b) Strong kick (close):

c) Air strong kick:

d) Projectile:

[Count Monte]

Finally!  About time for a Crane update.  Looking good!

Yes, Killing Blade was already emulated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwuoQdySXpI
