Batsu Ichimonji

[Daeron]

Hi guys, Batsu was my very first serious Mugen project long ago...
So now im Revamping all of his sprites to a more accurate Cvs style.
This was one of the things i wanted to finish first in order to continue with other Wips.

He will be part of the Capcom Fighting All Stars project by Nestor, and will be also avaible for other coders to code.

You can see some of his old progress and sprites here:

I will be showing the new improved sprites in this topic, so i can get feedback about the anims and sprites!
Old sprites covers pretty much a full payable char, but i want to upgrade all anims.

Here i left the new stance:

[XANDERAC]

Very nice Daeron, the new stance does look better for sure, good luck with your project!

[C.v.s The Abstract]

[Iced]

That looks great, you plan on adapting his original moveset fully or having some additions?

[Noside]

Wow! looks great indeed! i'll be following this thread definitely, best of luck with your character.

[Daeron]

Thanks all!

Im mostly adapting all of his attacks, (all of his special attacks are already on the sheet, they need major fixing)
I plan to add a few new moves as lvl3 options, like his ninja grab from Burning Batsu (the one that looks like zangief atomic buster)

Btw C.v.s The Abstract, im a huge fan of your work, it would be really nice for me to have some feedback from you on this topic

[Froz]

Well, I'm no abstract, but if you could give me the privilege to throw a few things to adjust:

-Batsu could use more frames, or more "action" (movement) for the hair and limbs.
-Arms seem a little skinny, you might wanna add more pixel height.
-His head seem a little static, but that's just me.
-shoes could use more "impact" or more movement.

Good luck with all of your projects, i look forward to each.

For me the stance is perfect, Batsu hair static like this is a mark of him , and the skinny arms too.

About the neck/head relation really theres a static feeling, and I think theres no much impact on this kind of move, looks perfect...

Well thats my opinnion

[Noctis]

I think everything about him is too thin. It looks very nice, though.
I don't know who Batsu is, but maybe he should have one foot flat (A) and the other leg looking like B or C. And instead of jumping left to right, maybe he should jump up and down. What I'm trying to picture is like this image here. Stance
Look at the image below for what I meant by A, B and C.

or maybe not : /

[Nestor]

The best of the luck as always pal, and thanks for all your help so far Daeron !

BTW, this may be useful in terms of his moveset design (there're some notes about the special/hypers/command moves Batsu has in TvC) http://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2009/may/19/batsu-ichimonji-tatsunoko-vs-capcom-character-guide/

[Balthazar]

I don't know who Batsu is

Should you be giving feedback on his proportions and stuff then ?

Looking great Daeron, that new stance captures the character pretty well. Good Luck!

[Cybaster]

Will definitely be following this project.

Makes me want to bring my Dreamcast back here and launch Project Justice!

[GLB]

Amazing project! I look forward to this, ironically enough I've been doing:

Dreamcast and launch Project Justice!

that for a couple days now. 

[rukifellth]

Awesome! Soon we got a full team from Rival Schools in MUGEN

Speaking of Capcom Fighting All Stars, I made a check on the original PS2 game that could have been (damn you CAPCOM), and take a look at this:



Akira Kazama could have been in the game. D: (DAMN YOU CAPCOM)

What's even MORE sad is that I recall reading that Akira was almost in Tatsunoko vs Capcom until she was removed alongside other characters (GOSH DAMN YOU TO HECK CAPCOM)

Anyways, about Batsu, since it is for CFAS i saw that there was a poster image showing alternate costumes for CFAS and it showed some interesting palettes for Batsu, Ryu, ChunLi, and Charlie.

Perhaps they could have thoce as selectable palettes in CFAS as a tribute to the original game? Heck, Batsu could have a D.D palette:

Admit that these colours would fit Batsu.

[FeLo_Llop]

One word: EYEGASM!!

In Spanish sounds better and that: ¡¡OJORGASMO!!

Are you planning in putting a colour separation? Just curious.

[Daeron]

Thanks for all the help people, Dampir those captures are very handy thank you!
(i was working with Dreamcast captures XD)
About people saying its kinda skinny... take in mind im triying to recreate Batsu with is Cvs proportions (take a look at the very few Batsu official sprites, as seen in Kyosuke Hyper)

(First frame its my new stance)
This is one one of the first problems with Batsu, i can draw over screenshots, but it ends very bulky and boring, it needs some work to look in that radical Hot blooded cvs style (Think about how radical its Jin Saotome in is movements)

He will have pallete separation, but i mess a lot the sprites if i put the separation while im making new sprites, so i will separate them at the end.
(Mostly leg and arm bandages, and maybe pants/shirt separation)

Nestor thanks for all your support all those years!

Rukifellth, for sure those colours fits Batsu

[bubilovescars]

It's good to see you're working on Batsu. One of my favorite RS characters.
But it was too bad that your Batsu didn't make it in 2012, hopefully that 2013 will be a perfect year for Batsu.
I know that you have a personal life. But still i wanna see a 2D Batsu for mugen.

In the mean time, we have a 3D Batsu that was released months ago. It's decent and playable.

Good luck Dearon, the fans will be pleased.

[Ulisan]

 Nice to see that you don't quit this char.

I'm following Sinhra's project but seems a little slow, (IMO) and your char is the most cool to me.
Did you gonna use TvC voices, only?

Keep rocking!

[Noctis]

I don't know who Batsu is

Looking great Daeron, that new stance captures the character pretty well. Good Luck!

No, I should not. I guess I just felt like voicing my opinion no matter how dumb it was. :3
He's still skinny, though.
And Daeron, excellent work.
