Santa Claus

[ELECTR0]

Starting a new project for Santa Claus. My road map is to release him on Christmas and release updates each year. I'm still working on the animations for the stance which I will post soon, but here is a single shot of the stance. I'm using Chang as a base.

Thats Cool!...  You have any gameplay style in mind?

[ELECTR0]

He will play in a MvC style similar to my other chars.

[squallsoft]

I'm so ready for some Santa action

[GTOAkira]

cool really like what you did with man scorpion keeping an eye on this one
good luck

[Orochi Gill]

Those sprites actually look pretty good.

Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

I think I have carpal tunnel after today's session. This is what I finished on the stance before my finger gave out. It still needs work but i'm happy with how it looks so far.

[Laharl]

I like the sprites alot. I hope the gameplay is fun. you could use chang for some motions whacking his bag of toys around or something.

[PineappleProducer]

Woohoohoohoo! Now this has my interest! Looks great so far! I wish you the best of luck! 

[dragolink1]

That anim looks great!!!

Idea for specials
1. Grab the gifts bag, open it and start to drop the gifts
2. Elfs attack. A lot of elfs attacking

this is all kinds of awesome...this is gonna be EXTRA popular around december! keep up the great work bro!

[ELECTR0]

Thanks for the kind words gamers and i'll try my best to make sure he's fun and visually apealing.

He will have his bag O toys but it's just for a special/hyper. I haven't decided just yet. Having him carry around the bag would limit some of his moves and I need him free'ed up for different attacks.

Both good ideas, i'll definitely consider them. I'm writing down everyone's ideas and seeing what I like the best.

Thanks dude. Soon as I get more done i'll shoot him over to you for a test run.

9 reindeer pulling sleigh trample super?

Better idea: let him code it.

That would be amazing.

[ELECTR0]

I agree!

[Legendary DeMoNk@I]

Looks like this will be a fun character. Maybe try to incorporate KOF chang's Steel ball beat down super but instead with a big bag of Christmas goodies lol

[Cybaster]

This sounds fun and interesting.

I agree about DJ_Hannibalroyce coding it too. You could even work completely together, making up the movelist together before making the sprites. With DJ's crazy ideas, it could be very awesome. Attacks with Christmas trees, reindeers, elfs, gifts, etc., that sounds mighty fun.

[TTTTTsd]

I totally support that idea as well. Given DJ's creation history I think it would mesh really really well. The sprites also look damn good, easy on the eyes and recognizable. Santa's mad as hell.

[MrChris]

use a sac of toys instead of his big Ball

[Jesuszilla]

^ YES.

And part of that ranbu super where he would swing the ball (now sack of presents) around, when he hits the opponent, presents should fly out and land near the opponent, then at the end, he hops back and detonates them and the explode into festive holiday things.
