Omega Red (Done)

[Cyanide]

This is actually the second time i've attempted him. Mostly because i'm trying for the full variable length cables. There are 15 helpers involved in this, it's really long winded, but the underlying plan is working OK.

So far we have
Accurate movement velocities including super jump and aerial dash
Accurate timings on everything apart from hitsparks
Accurate damage
His combo's behave properly.
Standing weak > any
Jumping weak > strong
Super jump Hunter Chain

I have also added most of the sprites into the sff (missing some FX and things) and there's no sound.

I have started the cable system. Currently working complete and rather well, Horizontal Coil. Able to energy drain and death factor from ANY distance and throw p2 away afterwards from any distance. Without needing to add more sprites to the sff. Does require a lot of changeanims and bindtoparents though.

Still to do, flaming heaps. Don't ask. But it looks promising enough for me to announce it.

There'd be a super jump combo there too, but my test stage isn't super jump enabled so it's a waste of time.

[Cybaster]

Nice to see you're continuing (remaking ?) him, as this was quite promising. Needless to say it must be a hell with all the cable sprites and binds. Good luck.

[Cyanide]

All i've kept from the first one was the sprites for the little links themselves and the bulgy bits when he uses death factor and energy drain, i utterly trashed the rest and started from scratch.

Forgot to mention. MSHvSF style gameplay, although i've taken some of the additional frames he had in COTA and added them in (his crouch is animated for eg) And the supers will probably be the MvC2 style QCB rather than QCF.

yes finally a good omega red, and its by cyanide 

[Cashman]

I always thought making an Good Omega Red would be hard to do and cost too much time to make.......

Glad To see you're gonna take your time to do so. MSHVSSF Gameplay FTW!!!

[darkmoon766]

Looks great.  Are you using re-sized sprites or is that just re-sized in the cns file?  (he looks like the correct proportion as opposed to cps2)

[Orochi Gill]

I assume it's 1.0 only?

[Cyanide]

I'm not going to be using anything in the code that is 1.0 specific although he does hold all the constants and victory quotes. Swapping him back to regular mugen wouldn't be overly difficult but i plan to develop for 1.0 and continue doing so. Winmugen is a developmental cul de sac.

[Orochi Gill]

I just happen to use both, so yeah, that's why I asked.

[fer619]

cool, you're making omega red 

i haven't found a real good omega red out there, so i'm looking forward to this one 

[Cyanide]

Just done the diagonal upwards throw and had to tweak a few things, but in general the system works rather nicely and requires little effort to mess with.

Currently the longest process is mapping out the animations for each direction afterwards.

Small sample of what the logic behind the throw itself is. Each one of these columns represents a link, each line represents a frame of said link.

Good to know a well done Omega Red will be in mugen someday. 

[LaQuak]

A buddy of mine would enjoy this character when it's done. He doesn't post here but I'll tell him about it now because he loves Omega Red when it's done properly.

[Cyanide]

Looks great.  Are you using re-sized sprites or is that just re-sized in the cns file?  (he looks like the correct proportion as opposed to cps2)

Resized in the CNS. 0.8333333 It causes some annoyance with the helper binding, but is OK otherwise.

[MooMaster]

Forgot to mention. MSHvSF style gameplay.

Now that sounds like music to my ears. I honestly believe that was his incarnation.

As an Omega Red player, I look forward to this release. 

[Cyanide]

Doing the cable directions has become easier now that i've done one set. Previously it was about 2 hours work to do all 15 helpers and their changeanims. With the current set, it feels like it'll be more round 45 minutes

Just so people know and aren't entirely disappointed. In the game each direction you throw the cable first causes a slightly different animation of each throw direction afterwards. As it's already 90 states just for the stuff on the ground i don't plan to duplicate this. If p2 is on the same level as you, or above you, you get one animation, if he is below you, you get another, that's as far as i'm willing to go. The effect is negligible and has no effect whatsoever on gameplay.

Also, the throws take half a second, if they look bad to you in that space of time, your eyes are too quick.

wow cyanide maken a new replacement for slime or
whats his name konahomaru or dat minitor thing

the battle between magical school girls and tentacle monsters will be epic

[Average Mugen Guild Poster]

^
Omega Red with a tentacle rape move? I don't wanna think about that.

[Cyanide]

Funny as that sounds, this character will not contain any tentacle rape.

[Cyanide]

Bumping.

Have completed the vertical standing throw, death factor and energy drain+ vertical throw away. Moving onto up and forwards throw away. 29 changeanims motherf-er

Looking forward to finishing these so i can start on omega strike.

A different question. Would people like to see the CARBONADIUM SMASH/OMEGA DESTROYER hyper combo finish screens?
