A "special" Rikuo

[Cyanide]

No, definitely not. I hope i got some of you going though.

Serious WIP. Basically i'm taking everything that was in Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior. In your first match you can pick to play through on either game's style. You then won't need to select again. Although i might include a method that forces it to allow you to change. Not sure about that yet

The only thing that won't be "groove" specific are intros and winposes. I'm using the poses from all of the games. Cos having lots of win poses is neat.

Currently done. All basics, correct pauses on basics and correct hit vels etc. Not damage yet.
Gethits bar getup, his getup is backwards facing and annoying so not started yet.

Specials, Sonic wave, multi hit mollusc, screw jet(slight change to command) and toxic cloud, in the middle of Sky Neptune from Hunter. Sonic wave is correct in all counts bar damage. As is multihit Mollusc. Screwjet needs some tweaking

Supers, Bubble, which looks classy and Aqua Spread both the holdable and the p2 detecting version.

Still to go, Air throw, Tidal wave (actually i forget the right name there) Crystal rage and Gems Anger, his midair diving kick intros and win poses. + all the other tweaks and shit i still have to do with what i've done already.

Screeny time.



I think thats everything currently planned.

Yay, Your chars are always awesome
Lol at "God" stance xD

Nenver played Vampire Savior though, so I cant say much more

[Cybaster]

Nice project, nothing much to say or ask about it, as you've said everything.

Good luck I guess.

[gamespy]

The Tidal wave super move is called Sea Rage. And the bubble super is called Water Jail (if you wanted to know the name of that move as well).

And I must say that Rikuo is certainly an underrated character.

A good WIP to hear about.

Rofl at god stance.
You have to put a pallete witch make you god (12 wud be best?) or use a god groove when facing diffrent people as Rareakuma and Nightmare broly?

Do these games have dizzy (It shuld, cos of Blackheart had) and guardcrush?
Maybe add a little tiny bar witch display the guardcrush situation.

Good luck!

Small comment at infantry has wound up making me change my mind about the groove thing. Kinda pointless really, it changes 2 animations, swaps 2 moves, and removes screwjet for the saviour groove. I think i'll just make the different animations and the move swap out pallete based instead.

Sky Neptune and Gems Anger are swapped out, so we'll pallete that
Run anim is different
Jump med punch changes, although i prefer the fin version, i'll still put both in.

With that said, keep the command styling from Saviour with charge commands for Sonic Wave and Toxic Gas or stick with Hunters QCF commands?

[Robert The Small]

Why not just supply two CMD files, one with the charge commands, and another with QCF commands?

[darkmanx_429]

Looking great!  Props on the "God pose!" LOL

[Ridureyu]

I'm with what Robert said.  you could also keep both commands in one CMD file, but stick the other set behind  ; so people can swap b ack and forth.

[Elix]

Of course I will cheer up one of my Mugen teachers Cyanide, go go go!
But it is kinda disturbing that many great coders tend to choose to make freak characters. Seems like a waste of talent to me Uh... no offence

[Cyanide]

It's what i enjoy.

Next will probably be something more prosaic though. Freaks are all well and good but they're often more challenging than the normal stuff. Normal characters are about 8 times easier than things like this.

With that said, keep the command styling from Saviour with charge commands for Sonic Wave and Toxic Gas or stick with Hunters QCF commands?

I actually thought having him be a charge character in one of the grooves, but not the other, was the most interesting aspect of having those two grooves.

If you're going for just one of those styles, I personally think that having to charge those moves is more fair, since you can follow them up in so many ways. Or maybe have Sonic Wave be a QCF with its short range, and Toxic Gas be charged and have Savior range.

[Cyanide]

That works. Don't like it much in hunter anyway. Each button makes it last longer rather than more range. Cuts off part of the battle field and encourages well, nothing.

[Anjel]

Maybe a config.txt with a variable, 0 is charge command and 1 is Qcf (and stuff) commands?

[LoZmaster]

oh dear ''god'' lol nice stance. how did you make it?

[Anjel]

He probably used Ms paint.
Maybe copy paste a leg and a arm reshade stuff and make it fit.

Cyanide:
Msn?
I demand rematch!

[Tayobktailz]

God Rikuo...HA..you almost had me.

[inktrebuchet]

do you plan on redoing his choppy stance? because that would be awesome

[Cyanide]

Rikuo has a choppy stance? It's kinda bouncy, i certainly don't find it choppy, the animation flows fine as far as i can tell.

Sky neptune done. Next is probably Crystal Rage. (crystal something anyway) Sorted out his throw sprpriority properly too.

[The Dutch Guy]

Just out of curiosity, are you going to add special gethit anims like Midnight Bliss and Jedah's San=Passare?
