Marvel Super Heroes Reborn

[thepaniqd]

Marvel Super Heroes Reborn is a game mirroring the original MSH but different in a lot of ways.
If you downloaded She-Hulk and played around with her then you already know a little bit about the system although she is merely a prototype and some mechanics have yet to be implemented.
The gameplay focus will be on competitive 1v1 matches and arcade mode with the best mechanics of the VS. series and Street fighter series, with the story being loosely based on the infinity guantlet story arc and illustrated by animated sprite scenes, similar to those in X-Men: COTA

As far as roster you can expect to see the original 10 characters as well as some new additions,  stage selection will be much the same with the game being released in phases starting with a 2 character demo soon. that will be followed by the first tier release and then expanded on from there.

The gameplay is basically a more technical version of MSH, with Super-Cancels, Alpha Counters, Parries and a Desperation System.

The entire roster will have a brand-new, remixed and fresh moveset. Doom has an entirely NEW moveset that involvies strategies involving controlling his space using his rush-down techniques and his teleports. Yes, Doom can teleport, he has a Super Mega Plasma Beam Hyper and has a new move where he activates an electric Shield and rushes down the opponent, just to name a few. You can even cancel out of his teleport and shield rush moves into a special or super to play mind games with your opponent by having them let their guard down for a bit.
Teleporting behind the opponent when your oppenent rushes in and grabbing to smash them into the ground following up with a air combo and a OTG super feels SO satisfying. This Doom is certainly unique compared to the rest of the previous Dooms, as he focuses on more getting up close and personal with your opponent, rather than spamming FOOTDIEEEVE and his Plasma Beam.

We also have an all-new system call the "Desperation System". The Desperation System is a "all-or-nothing" gamble. Once you're health drops below twenty-five percent, you will no longer have access to your level 3. INSTEAD, you have access to an even more powerful, one-hit-kill cinematic epic firin mah lazur amazballs super instead. But watch out!
If the Desperation attack doesn't connect and misses, you're dead. So use it wisely.

The stages will also feauture interactive stages, thanks to ELECTRO and his granting of permissions for use of the Interactive MUGEN add-on. You rock!

Anyone who is interested in helping with the project or has any questions just drop the team members a pm or post here. We very open for collaboration and would like for anyone wanting to take part to bring their strengths and specialties into the project.


Here's a little preview vid of Doom.

Screenpack Shots (Not Final):




The Roster currently consists of:
She-Hulk
Dr.Doom
Taskmaster
Scarlet Spider (sprited from scratch by me)
Cyclops (90's)

and introducing:
Star-Lord


Yes, that is right, Star-Lord and Scarlet Spider will be included as characters in the launch roster. They are both sprited from scratch by me in CvS style (meaning i haven't even used a Spidey base for Scarlet Spider, aside from the upper body, which is Rock Howard, while the legs are from scratch) , I am even adhering to the 16 color limit just to make it feel more accurate.

Taskmaster will also be joining the roster as well, remixed and revamped. (Yes, we have permission to use him, as his original authors' readme that comes with his original character states that as of March 2014, anyone can make their own version of Task, as long as Rojin is credited, which he is.)

(note: these are not the final looks for Scarlet Spider and Star-Lord, these are just 2 concept sprites. I have already updated their looks and will showcase them soon. Shulkie will be re-sized in gameplay.)

We are purposely holding off on revealing conventional characters as we want the newcomers to get more spotlight first.


(we will update this listing of the roster once they have been revealed. Thanks!)

thepaniqd - Coding and stuff and things, project lead, music producer, rad dude.

This is too great!! So sad theres no Adam Warlock
Gotta say you have to change the size of the chars, to make them look more human, also remember that she-hulk is taller than that
Maybe give them CVS height and weight

[【ＭＦＧ】gui0007]

Glad to see you here Paniqd.

The project looks so promising. I'll follow for sure!

[GTOAkira]

looking good I think for the select screen, you should go with something like the original msh try giving a more comics look

[yaret]

Cooool.! really looking good.

[thepaniqd]

Yea i'd really like to have warlock in the game. have no fear this is in no way representative of the actual roster, he may make an appearance yet. especially if someone wants to sprite him *cough*,
we are going with a cvs style as well i'm happy to say.

Thanks gui0007 i'm glad to be here!

[Retro Respecter]

That is good to hear.

[lui]

I have 3 surprise newcomers in the concept stage, all newly-drawn by me

and also, like thepaniqd said, the screens are only showing off the screenpack, not the roster. that is just paniqd's personal roster. the only 2 characters confirmed so far are a highly-remixed Dr. Doom and She-Hulk.

edit: "manluis" is my username on IMT, so thats why it says it there instead of my usual user.

Here's a little preview vid of Doom.

[MotorRoach]

Doom's looking pretty great. Any chance of him having Hidden Missiles as well?

[GTOAkira]

he is looking really good
keep it up

[thepaniqd]

Thanks guys!

I was planning on leaving hidden missiles out (he would be a nightmare with that and the ability to teleport) but, if enough people demand it i'll probably add it before the games release.

[Macaulyn97]

Wait, is that Spiral another of your works? 'Cause I'd really want a new Spiral.

[thepaniqd]

Wait, is that Spiral another of your works? 'Cause I'd really want a new Spiral.

She's still untouched minus the bugs i fixed but, i will be getting to her sooner or later and including her in the game.

spiral is one of my absolute favorite marvel characters! and you can't beat that theme song!

[Segatron]

Wow Doom was awesome thereI hope you make a good AI for the rest.
