Yep, it's true. I finally start on Neptune, the very namesake character from where my username originates from and one of the characters I've wanted to have in MUGEN for the longest time. However, this is not a solo project for as this is a collaboration with Shimmering Brony, who designed and provided every single sprite for Nep Nep and they're pretty good too! That means this is also my very first joint project.

Also, screenshot below for some hindsight.

this looks promising.

Judging by the pics, it looks like she's going to be based on your Generation 1 style. Not planning to use Generation 2 for this one or was this started way before that?

Started roughly towards the end of Eri's development, but otherwise, the character was planned out a year ahead of time since me and Shimmering Brony had discussions on her moveset as he was working along. Also, any Gen 2 character I plan next is whoever wins the poll.

I came here expecting Sailor Neptune, lol

Yay Neptune!

I'm fine with Neptune being a Gen 1 character.

Gen 2 doesn't click with me since I'm not a fan of SNK gameplay.

Even though it was already showcased, Cross Combination is a command grab in spite of its appearance. It's Neptune's only unblockable super, making it will suited against turtlers.

That is because I've decided to choose Victory Slash as a strike-type super.

Both of them are capable of OTGing and the command grab does less overall damage since it is capable of ignoring guts scaling, meaning Cross Combination will do more damage than Victory Slash against guts-bearing targets when they're at lower health range, adding an additional tactical layer on which super to use over the other in certain situations. Separating these attacks that are otherwise dash-in moves in their source material was necessary to avoid redundancy and give both their own separate utility.

Neptune's projectile super, 32-Bit Mega Blade, is a giant digital sword she summons and launches at her enemy. It has the ability to track their last position when it was summoned, making it harder to dodge than a typical projectile and it cannot be reflected. Much like Nep's other two supers, this one OTG as well.

After a week of offline stress, I'm getting back to working on Nep again. Here are two of her intros that I've done for her. She has a special one, but that's something I'll reveal later when I get it down since it's very time sensitive.

After a week of offline stress

I got stressed aswell in these last two weeks. It was painful. :/ Are you okay Nep?
Anyway glad to see such progress on Neptune.

[Nep Heart]

 Yeah, I should be fine, most of my stress is in the form of anger and resent due to being victim to others' irrationality, but I'm good. Thanks for the consideration.

A more positive and related note, I've managed to finish Neptune's level 3 super.

While this has already been done about a week back, it's still important that I show off her Elemental Disk system that serves as Neptune's Unique Ability. With the selection of Fire, Ice, Earth and Wind, Neptune's specials will have their properties altered to expand her game plan. Certain specials, when they hit, will bind the current element on the target for a short while. When bound by an element, P2 gains a weakness to Neptune's elements as accordingly;

- fire > ice
- ice > wind
- wind > earth
- earth > fire

Also, progress on her AI has been coming along fairly quick, I don't think I've worked on an AI this fast before... definitely getting the hang of it.
