Divine WIPs

[DivineWolf]

edit: FX are rather random i'll fix it when I see them in action

Just because I don't want to feel left out.

Thanks for the pals.

Bah, I can't seen to get the template to work in fighter factory :-(

You must be doing something wrong then. IDK what to tell ya. I can open it up just fine. I'd imagine others were able to as well. Maybe try another program or something.

Thanks.

Well, May has certainly been an interesting and busy month so far. MUGEN and non-MUGEN related. Lots of great projects that I've been able to test out, so on and so forth. I myself have been working as well. On a project I actually started before Rock, though put her on hold once I started Rock. That char is Morrigan Aensland using Li Kun's sprites. Months ago I spoke with him and have since been working with him to complete her. I'm using the completed SFF of her that he gave me, along with a few other things I personally asked him to add in. Here's a general sample pic...

^Here you can see I scaled her down a bit to be proportionate to CvS Ryu. By default, she's a bit wider and taller, though only by a little. While here are a few other teaser pics...

Now I've gotten feedback for how I should go about doing some things. Some of this deviates from my initial intent. So, what I've decided to do with her is give her 2 different modes. The default will be Normal mode. Overall, I am basing her from her CvS2 moveset. Normal mode will hold true to said moveset. Nothing extra. The other mode will be Arrange mode. This mode will still be based from her CvS2 moveset, though have a few extra additions. Like the multi-directional Soul Fist, Finishing Shower super, and the MAX version of Cardinal Blade will work like it does in MvC. Where she summons the Liliths out of the ground. The modes will be implemented via holding start.

While my initial plan was to edit PotS' Morrigan, I changed from that plan. There's two driving forces for me making her. The first is as I said in my Idea Engineering thread, these sprites are great. Li Kun worked hard on them and I have been in awe of them ever since the first time I saw them. The second is that in the hopes that Lost_Avenger uses these sprites for his CFJ2 game. I have been referencing his Morrigan mainly, which I am thankful for his assistance. Hopefully, this will cut down on his workload with porting her over to his game. Now, I know this question will be asked by someone: "Am I using or do I plan on using the CS sprites that Drex is doing?"

The answer to that isn't clear cut. Am I using them now? No. As he said in his thread he's using Nestor's CFAS SFF for her. Will I be able to use them? I don't know. Not only am I using different FX, but there are a fair amount of sprites that are in my SFF of her, that's not in other SFFs. I've also tweaked alignments on several animations and so forth. Right now, it's not a concern. Though, I have seen the sample pals in that thread for that CS, and they are beautiful and very tempting. For now, all I can say in that regard is, we'll see. Here is her moveset...

<NORMAL>

Moon Tracer             F(or B) + any 2 punches (grab)
Breast Anguish            F(or B) + any 2 kicks (grab)
Ecstasy Fall(Air)         F(or B) + any 2 punches (grab)
Shell Kick(Air)                 D + HK                

<SPECIALS>

Soul Fist(EX)            D, DF, F, + any punch(in air OK!)
Shadow Blade(EX)         F, D, DF, + any punch
Vector Drain(EX)         F, DF, D, DB, B, + any punch

<SUPERS>

Soul Phoenix(MAX)         D, DF, F(x2), + any punch(in air OK!)
Cardinal Blade(MAX)         D, DF, F(x2), + any kick
Valkyrie Turn(MAX)         F, DF, D, DB, B, + any kick(in air OK!)

As I said above, certain moves and functionality of said moves will be exclusive between the different modes. Though altogether, this is it. Currently I'm finished with all her basic stuff, system stuff, and specials. I've also finished Soul Phoenix ground and air. She's currently in a BetaV2 state and has been sent out for testing. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to give/ask them.

Damn I picked a good day to take off work! So far everything looks nice. My only question is about the soul Phoenix. Will that be multi-directional as well or just the normal soul fist?

[WooshaQ]

Sniff, sniff... What about Tia? Nevermind that, its still sad you cancelled her, she was so much fun to play, I'd still separate her with big hope you could make it back to her someday. So Press "do" her :p

Just the normal one.

I didn't cancel her. It's...complicated. Though yeah, I'll still give you the SFF once I'm done with it. You can release it and anyone can use it/them from that point. Which is cool.

[The Revenant]

OMG! I can't wait for Morrigan. Good luck with her!

[DivineWolf]

Thanks for the support.



Morrigan is a very fun char to work with. I don't think I've had this much fun creating a char since I first started. One of the things that makes her so fun, is her various winposes. Namely the one where she cosplays a random character. While asleep last night, various ideas came to mind about how I was going to implement everything with her. Li Kun added several new cosplays that I was going to implement. Like Mai, Athena, Yuri, Doronjo, and Tiffany. Along with these, I requested Li Kun to make one specific. That was to have Morrigan in the Sorceress' outfit from Dragon's Crown...



^I already thanked him, but I really have to thank him again for doing this. This will be one of the random outfits she can change into for said winpose.

[GTOAkira]

awesome cant wait for her

[Flowrellik]

at this day I smile!
THANK YOU DIVINE!!!
I wanna ask tho, For Morrigan, will she have an EX Lilith mode?

[Xenomic]

Oh lol. That fits perfectly, you are genius for thinking of that lol.

[MCX]

Awesome stuff so far, and awesome ideas.
Do you plan in making a special intro against Demtri, Lilith or another Darkstalkers/capcom character?

[Sky79]

Question, will this Morrigan have the MvC 'Soul Ereaser' move, and once Drex is done with the CS patch(s) will you add them?

[Knuckles8864]

^
I'm going to assume not since the moveset is already set. I don't think it's really necessary, because it was only available to her in the MvC (TvC) series, and was best there, but then again, it's up to Divine here.
Anyway, I'm liking what I see with Morrigan. Keep it up, my man.

[ShiroTori]

This is looking awesome. I'm happy to see that people are taking characters previously done by POTS and making them in the more up to date style.

[sabockee]

Awesome! My favourite character from one of my fovourite coders with the sprites made by one of my favourite spriters?. Totally hyped for this project

[Víctorys]

Looking good there, my friend

No Lilith mode. Just Normal and Arrange.

Oh lol. That fits perfectly, you are genius for thinking of that lol.

It all came to me in a dream lol.

Thanks. As for special intros... Not anything initially comes to mind. I'd prefer if I did make any, that the corresponding chars interact with her as well. Not too fond of one-sided special intros, unless they're generalized in some way. For example, CvS Benimaru blowing a kiss to all female chars. I'm always willing to add special/custom intros, so, we'll see. Not 100% sure, but I don't think Morrigan had any special intros against anyone in CvS2. I'll have to boot it up to be sure. If she does, I'll implement those for sure.

Question, will this Morrigan have the MvC 'Soul Ereaser' move, and once Drex is done with the CS patch(s) will you add them?

No Soul Eraser. Considering she has Soul Phoenix and Arrange mode will have Finishing Shower and Soul Phoenix, Soul Eraser is superfluous. As for the CS question, refer to my initial post about working on Morrigan. I already answered that question.

Actually, from TvC up they replaced Soul Eraser with Finishing Shower. Though yeah, I'm not adding it. Thanks for the support.

@Everyone Else

Thanks for the support.

[TheSnackist]

Any chance you've have a config option for not-scaling her new sprites? I would love to see them in their full unsquished glory even if she ends up a little out of scale vs Ryu and others.

[DivineWolf]

Hmm... Maybe, but probably not. The scaling is minimal. She doesn't loose any detail from it at all. It just puts her at the correct CvS proportions/aspect ratio.

She does have a Special Intro against Nakoruru in SVC Match of the Millenium IIRC.
