Ness WIP

[PineappleProducer]

I've come to the conclusion that there is NO good Ness characters out there! 

I don't like Drowin's Ness, and X.Y. Shanxxi's is broken to me.

So, I have ultimately decided to make Ness myself. His moves are gonna be based on SSBB, but he'll behave like a normal fighter in MUGEN.

Here's what he looks like so far:

Stance


Yo-Yo Attack


Homerun Bat


PK Fire


And a video demonstrating some of his moves:

Looks good. Good luck!

I agree it looks good. Don't you think PK Fire does a bit too many hits for being a regular special attack? 25 hits is a hell of a lot, even by super standards.

The sprites look familiar...

Are they from super smash flash 2?

Looks good. Good luck!

Thank you.

I guess you could have a point, considering it pretty much traps the opponent when it hits them. I might make it push the opponent back if it connects.

Beats me. I haven't ever played the game. I got the sprites off of Spriter's Resource.

[vgma2]

Oh well.

Anyways, it looks pretty good.

Good luck on the char.

Oh, and here's a video showing his first super:

PK Pulse dose'nt send the opponent high in the air.

It don't? I thought it did when it was fully charged. Shows how much I know. Guess I'll need to play Brawl again to see how it works.

Wow! This Ness does look so much better than the others! I can't wait for him, especially since I'm a huge Earthbound fan.

Recently I have seen Jango Hakamichi's stage collaboration project to honor Satoru Iwata (RIP). Although I wanted to contribute to it, I'm no good at spriting, unfortunately, so I decided now would be the time to take care of unfinished business. In honor of a great man, I have decided to resurrect my Ness project!











The last two days I have been trying to clean Ness up a bit, because he was horribly lacking and disorganized from when I had initially scrapped him (tbh, I thought I had lost his files). As of this writing, I have made multiple changes to him (though mostly unnoticeable by you all, since you all haven't ever played him.  ) But currently, these are the changes made:

-Expanded Ness from a 2-button to a 4-button character (what was I thinking!?)
       *As a result of this, his standard 3-hit combo has been separated into different buttons, although the combo-ability is still retained
       *Added a fourth standing attack to fill out the buttons, replacing the high Yo-Yo
       *Added two new standard air attacks, akin to his F-Air and B-Air from Smash Bros.
-Reworked many of the hitdefs to give Ness more combo potential
-Ness' low Yo-Yo attack has been turned into a special attack
-Changed the animation and function of PK Fire to make it more reminiscent of its Smash Bros. counterpart
-Changed Ness' first forward jump and backward jump animations to how they looked in Smash Bros.

There is still much more to do, but I feel that I should be able to get somewhere once I get back into the swing of things.

Good luck!

Looking forward to adding a decent Ness in my roster!

Those combos look like fun. I'm very glad to see he's gonna be 4-button now... are there really enough sprites for that, though?

[PineappleProducer]

I should be able to make it happen. The only thing I'm missing right now is two more crouching attacks, and one of them can make use of sprites I haven't used in the sheet yet (although they are a little similar to one's I have already used). I may be able to create the last one by re-using some sprites for a different move, as much as I'd hate to do it.

How nice.

Hope to hear his voice from SSB Wii U.

I remember reading your wip thread 4 years ago. 

[Noctis]

I actually have high expectations for this character. I'm even considering making my own Ness now, but in a cheap manner. Just a swing of that bat and buh-byeeeee~!
Looks good so far. If you ever need any help just ask!

[Sheng Long]

Oh god.... That fugly sandbag sprite.  *FacePalms*

[PineappleProducer]

How nice.

Hope to hear his voice from SSB Wii U.

I remember reading your wip thread 4 years ago. 

Then you should be happy to hear that I am indeed using his voice clips from SSB4!

EDIT:

Okay, so here is a quick video I threw together for you all to get a better look at Ness and how he plays, at least so far.

[Staubhold]

Thanks for the vid...

He has some nice combos.
