Mr. Jones

[Jango]

As Jones has won the Community Update poll (by a margin of ONE VOTE), I'm going to present the general direction of the character. But first, mandatory WIP screenshot.



Will be in

• All ROTD common system features (including First Impact a.k.a. "that auto-combo thing")
• In important matters (Physics, Damage values, etc), as accurate to ROTD as I can get it.
• Redone Sparks/effects and new SFX to go with them. This is partly because I hate the way ROTD's sparks/sounds are, and also because I suck at ripping the latter, lol.
• In short, gameplay-wise he'll feel like Jones, but he'll get a facelift.

Might be in

• His Lv. 2 Super "King Kang" from Power Instinct Matrimelee. Debating on this since it was pretty useless, although it could always be revamped if I so please
• An original super somewhere, since one super with two levels per character feels boring IMO.
• Not really a huge thing, but a redone small portrait would be nice. Currently using the ROTD lifebar portrait, but it won't change colors with palette.
• Reverse GANKBANK

WON'T be in

• CvS sparks/sfx. They look and sound bad IMO
• System mechanics that weren't in ROTD, although if you have any ideas I'll at least listen to them.
• The so-called "PotS-Style" everyone and their dog seems to be doing these days. Nothing against PotS of course (he's a cool guy that literally helps me every time I ask him a question, and his chars are fun to mess around with), but the term really pisses me off since it's just another way of getting fame by namedropping a well-known creator, and also because nowdays it's just a cop-out term for a converter to just make things up as they go along without an regards to either accuracy or what plays good.

Questions and Comments are welcome

Reverse GANKBANK?

[Mechy]

yes please original super

[Cybaster]

Yeah, I want a super involving dance, rasta, disco and lights!
Good luck with the project.

[Cyanide]

Not the double team super from RotD? That would involve Kang and possibly be less stupid

[Jango]

Reverse GANKBANK?

I really don't want to give out what I have in mind, but I'll give you one hint: People that enjoy Kuromaru/Haruhi/etc appreciate GANKBANK on male characters since they don't want to watch them doing the nasty. Therefore...

Surprisingly (?) you're the SECOND person who requested that. Dunno about making Jones dance, per se, but something like Gloomy Puppet show might be fun.

The problem with that one is that it's really fucking long and is really just Kang and Jones alternating with various attacks.

EDIT: On a side-note, adapting some of the palettes I received over, and I made a Heita outfit palette.

As far as an original super goes, you could always take the easy way out and just have Kang come in to do some  other moves.  But maybe you'd want something a little more creative than that.

[RunningWild]

Give him a move involving the KFC Double Down.

[Garuda]

Original super : a counter move a la Fei Long second ultra would be cool since he is a Bruce Lee wanna be!

Yeah, probably something more creative like them attacking the opponent at the same time, but eh.

Give him a move involving the KFC Double Down.

PFFFFFFFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe not that particular ultra, but now you just gave me another character to draw from for ideas!

[MAO11]

will he have these taunts?

[Mechy]

super idea: he punches the enemy REEAL  fast and ends with that qcf+punch special. does 100 hits  8)

No but now I have a new win quote!

Oh god.

On a side note, was thinking maybe the second super could be like Yun's Gen'ei Jin, but less broken.

[Mechy]

Oh god.

that bad? D:

[Cybaster]

that bad? D:

Should I wait to send you a boot to the head, or should I do it now ?

I've never been a big fan of this type of move as super. I usually prefer a real attack for a super - Custom Combo, Max Mode and the such being more like system stuff. My tastes though.

[Jango]

I liked it, but I've got other ideas that I'll try out first.

In the meantime, minor progress report, Evade and Rolls are done. Yes, PotS, you can throw him out of them.




After-images for that roll are temporary, hopefully I can get something closer to the source game.

[Jango]

All the basics are finished. Moving onto the specials now.



Both versions of Retro Knuckle are complete. Debating on how to handle his gethits during this move. In the game, if you hit him out of it, he slides back as if he's standing (even when he's clearly in midair). The effect looks stupid, but from a programming standpoint, I can kinda see why Noise Factory went with that.

[Nero D.]

Since he's basically...Gato only black and with a fro, why not give him Zero Kiba.

[Jango]

That would require some major (?) editing lol

[RunningWild]

No, Jones is Rufus before he turned white and obese.

So he should have SPACE OPERA SYMPHONY!!!!!

GOODBYE!!!
