WizzyWhipitWonderful - Sound effects  and voice rips manipulation
jweezy34 - Mark Gatha voice rips
A New Challenger - Big Portrait
A Secret Bro - Making the sprite base for a mini portrait

My current ideas for gameplay, concerning character movement are:
Forward Dash (Forward, Forward)
Backward Dash (Back, Back)
Double Jump (Up, then Up again while in mid-air)
Super Jump (Down, Up) - Cannot double stack with double jump
Air Forward Dash (Forward, Forward while in mid-air)
Air Backward Dash (Back, Back while in mid-air)
Wall Slide (Back, Back while next to the wall in mid-air)
Wall Climb (Hold Back during Wall Slide+Press appropriate direction of the wall. For Example: Hold back+Left to climbing left wall)
Roll (Hold Down+Forward or Backward, depending on direction you want to travel

During Wall Slide:
Punch
Kick
Buster Shot
Jump Off Wall will transition into a regular air state, which will allow him to perform default air attacks (punches, kicks, specials, etc)

For anyone working on my project, you may experience me sending you practically the same or similar messages repeatedly until I get a reply, to reassure myself that you got my message. I understand at times that this may be annoying and I have no intention to bother anyone.

This is an open source project, the only conditions being that no one uses any part of this character for closed source characters or hentai characters. If any part of this character is used for a character, consider that character now open source. The material in this project is for open source projects only!

this looks very cool. i like the colors they look bright and beautiful. i can give you some help and feedback on this when i can. i would love to see this x in mugen so im in.

[F. James Fernandez]

Stance idle can be more lively. And hopefully he won't shoot corn pops from his hand cannon   

[rukifellth]

Hmm, the only thing that I find odd is his legs, they seem a tad bit too long, it makes him look lanky like... I dunno... Waluigi.

[Lunchbillion]

Yeah he does seem a little lanky from what I remember of X's actual proportions.

[Balthazar]

I like the proportions, colors and overall aesthetics of him

[AugustAPC]

Definitely too lanky. His head needs to be moved a little up and back, and he needs some meat on his limbs. Otherwise it's a good start.

[Hyogo]

As it's been mentioned so many times, he's quite lanky and such, but it's about time we got a nicely sprited Megaman X for once

But I really like what you've done here but you could improve the Low Health stance and give it some more life perhaps? (Like holding his chest and panting like he does in the X games)

Otherwise it looks good

[methiou]

excellent  nice job, keep going !

[Balthazar]

I really think his legs look alright, it gives him a slightly more off-beat character, and he's still a robot not a human, he can look like that.

[Sheng Long]

They kind of remind me of X's appearance in the Ruby Spears cartoon.

Interesting sprites, but yea they really need to be fixed if you're going for the authentic look.

I love how this looks, its a unique style, there's tons of Megamen that reuse the Capcom VS games proportions, I'm glad that you decided to go a different route here. Good luck on this project, I say the sprites are just fine and I'm looking forward to more with this guy!

[Basara Bogard]

Same as Balthazar and Dcat, I loved the way you're making X instead of using the same and overused MVC Megaman base (even they've a little of this style).

Also I didn't know that "lanky" stuff, but I can tell you some stuff you should fix on these sprites:
-the upper part is bigger than lower part, X shouldn't be so bulky in chest, maybe that's the reason why a lot of people thinks X legs are so skinny
-The stand looks great, but you should anim more than the arms in the body. I loved the shiny red symbol in helmet, good idea
-I still found X legs and feet (the blue part) are the same than Megaman feet, and they should be different, even I see the same width and height on them

Apart of that, I loved your design, especially for the aggressor and grown-up pose you made for X that differs him from Megaman. Good job, you got a follower now

[Basara Bogard]

I still found a bit bulky the chest, but in general it's a big improvement

[Nestor]

That last improvement looks pretty good IMO, keep the good work Empawk!

UPDATE: perhaps for the standing pose you can use something alike the Command Mission game (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00HrzGyTwHw) .

Sprites are looking on point! Who are you using as base?

On the dash back animation i feel like if you made the shading move around to show that he is moving back. He is robot so clothes are on him. But if you make the glares on the armor move around it would make it a lot better.

[Karasai]

I like it.

but his chest stripes are black

I don't know how to make glare on sprites move.

Well a way to do it is to just move the glare. Make it bigger or smaller. Do something to anti alias on the glare..Or move it up or down by a few pixels

[Karasai]

well, not stripes but the purple thingys on his chest

[Shockdingo]

Woah, dude I really like how this looks so far. You really set him apart from the MvC Megaman.
