So I've been dying to post a couple shots of my work. I'm making Samus from SSBB for the Wii. As of this moment I have 1,742 1,783 sprites in 70 folders all similar to the one above. I'm still making her sprites. I've got almost all of Samus' 18 basic moves. I am missing Crouching light and medium punches, and Air Fierce kick. They should be done in a day or two. (yes, I made 41 sprites for 3 moves)
After that the Char project is ready to begin. Ok So I lied. I stayed up and made the 3 moves. I plan on starting the Char without the use of pallets and then adapting the new sprites into place. I've got a working sprite set with 1 pallet. It's pretty good considering the depth of color Samus started with. It's not perfect but pixel work will have to wait a long time.

I'm STILL looking for a photoshop master. A TRUE master to rip Samus apart and reduce her colors cleanly. I'd like to see Each group of colors knocked down to 16 40 colors each. I'd also like help with her dust/smoke/explosions.

Samus will play like SSBB but with a lot of XMvsSF mixed in. Pop-ups/pushblocks that sort of thing.

I plan on making Pitt from Kid Icarus next. So if I can get a good team that's always on we could have more than a few people done by the end of the year.

^^^^^^^^^ OLD NEWS ^^^^^^^^^

Here is an early beta. I've ripped a lot of the stuff that wasnt working 100% out.

I have a completely different copy of Samus I'm working on. This is just to show how she plays and to get feed back.

I'm looking for people to help make pallets.

This is inspiring, what program or method did you used to get the sprites?

there's a free program call XNA LARA it loads game rip model and you can pose them.

you can obtain 100s of model at http://xnalara-customized.deviantart.com/gallery/

I'm going to say this right now: I really hope this project doesn't slip through the cracks. Mugen needs a Samus badly. And this already looks hot.

Perhaps you should consult DA_Maverick as he specializes in 3D characters.

Best of luck to you. Samus is one of my all time favorites!!

[Dust Storm]

Yes, even though I'll be doing my own Samus, i'll support you on this project too. Because, as already said, MUGEN really needs a good one!

hey my friend you should contact Stop Motion Toys, this guy has been working on conversions from MK4´s Reiko and and the original SSB´s fox Mc Cloud for a while, if anythign i think he could give you some advice when it comes t hard to get spritting

very nice, but why not take 3d model out of wii game, and use it animated, that way u could improve 100% colors and textures..not so pixie

Just a tought,  other is that i would like to see it more a cartoon style

[Odb718]

Wii doesnt use anti-aliasing so no matter what youre going to have jaggies with anything from the Wii. As you can see the sprites are massive. I've resized them to 1/4 their original size and the AA goes away.

With the release of the newest version of Mugen yesterday I think I'm going to start dumping the sprites into KFM tonight. I'm not going to stop working on Samus. I've devoted over 10 years of my life modding the original Metroid, so 1 or 2 years on a Samus for Mugen is nothing. I hope to have an Alpha of her out by Feb. 28th. The Metroid Hack's name is actually SAMUS.

I plan on using Capcom sprites for her explosions and hitsparks. If anyone's familiar with SSBB and Samus could you suggest some good effects?
I'm also going to need some assistance with her Whip grab move. I figure Omega Red has a very similar move so I'll try to learn off that.
Her "Charge" basic moves will be added later. Right now there are 2 Standing moves that can be held, and released to activate 1 of 3 animations. I've never made a move like that so if anyone can suggest a move that's similar that'd help alot.

As I've said, I plan on making Pitt also. This isnt going away. The only way I'm going to stop work is if I die. Now, I just have to get FF3 working again <_<

[methiou]

WAouuuh !!  it's so good to see so much aggressiveness on a project  Man, i wish you best of luck. Keep going ! A SSBB Link will be good too ! it's just a suggestion 

[Odb718]

So I've added a bunch of basics into KFM720. I have a crouch, stand, and crouch to jump. Then I have 200-250, 400-450, and 600-650 complete. I've been messing with FF3's pallet controls and I'm not having the best of luck. I'm going to have to redo the sprites/pallet but I have the basic movement/timing down for all the punches and kicks. She can chain combo like Street Fighter, Stand to crouch but not back up. Her Crouching Fierces are hard to connect with. A 6 hit ground combo isnt going to happen.
Samus looks like she's going to be one tough lady to deal with. Some of her moves are slow to come out, but that just adds the funk to her. Once I get her looking decent on screen I plan on making a video. Even if it's her jumping from Samus sprites to KFM sprites.
I'm going to redo 2 of her kick moves because they look stiff. Jumping Fierce kick and another one. I forget which.

[volzzilla]

good luck with this

[PineappleProducer]

ooh! this looks so nice! I do hope that you don't quit on this project.


also, do you plan on this Samus being compatible with winmugen, mugen 1.0, or both?

[Odb718]

My main mugen is winmugen. I want to have my Samus fighting all of my char's I've collected.
But as of right now I'm making it for Mugen 1/18/12. That is once FF3 stops being a pain in my ass. I _think_ I just got my pallet working. It's not perfect but it's a million times better than playing with pink boxes around Samus. If it works I'll mass import all the sprites instead of coding moves.

----
So I've added working sprites for 200-3010. I've also put in  blank animations to go with them. Animations 200 - 250 have all collision boxes. 1:15pm is past my bedtime.. pretty sure I'm gonna be late for work <_<

[Odb718]

So I've been working with the images I've got in Samus. Aligning 11 hundred sprites takes longer than youd think <_<
But I figured I'd post a comparison of my original image vs. a very similar one that's palleted and see if anyone can do better.

^^^BEFORE^^^	^^^AFTER^^^

It's decent but there is some red in the orange and orange in the yellows.

[Blue Monkey]

i think is looking dandy, you can call em reflections on each metallic surface :p

[x Fly]

Lol stopmotion he rips 3d, but his coding isn't that good. Good samus thou man really inspiring makes me wanna rip a 3d character XD

[Odb718]

It's been a while since I posted about Samus' status. As of right now I've sort-of restarted. Most of my work will be able to just be used with the new sprite set. So it's not a complete loss. When I first started it was to see if it was possible, and I kept going. After a week of work I thought of a way to streamline the whole process. I wasnt happy with the red/orange/white color "bleeding". So I recolored the original textures of Samus to be red/purple/white. I havent made the pallet yet but I can tell that it's going to be a lot cleaner when I do. With the streamlining process I can tell I'll be able to rip all of the SSBB character sprites FAST. When I import the sprites into FF3 I can tell it where to put the axis point and all of the images will be perfectly aligned like they are on the Wii. I might host a poll once Samus is over 50% to see which character people would like to see/work on the most. I have my favorites, but I also dont want to take on ALL of the characters myself. I think Kirby would be a pretty easy one. I figure I can rip the sprites for a character a dev is willing to work on and continue with Samus. <<<< That's how she looks now. Obviously we'll be able to have the orange get-up once pallets are in place. Switching from the orange to purple, I've lost 8 of the moves I animated for her. The good thing is, the more I animate the better I'll get at it. I've also figured out a way of saving my animations. That pic is from her Lose from Time over animation I made. She looks her gun up and down and gets depressed. One thing I'm not looking forward to is all of the hit reaction poses. If anyone knows a good way to get all of the animations nice PLEASE let me know. It just seems like it's going to be a headache trying to place all of the axis points on the right looking animations and how to know when to lable it 10, 20, 30 or what ever.

[Saikoro]

Pretty sweet!! I always loved the Gravity Suit's color scheme. Nicely done.
