Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Char

DoubleDandE · February 28, 2012, 04:09:59 AM

Hi everyone, today I'm showing an old project that I started several years ago but discontinued due to frustration. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. He was going to be a boss for one of my mugen games, but I stopped working on him because my life was getting busy. Now that I have some free time, I'm reworking on him. I'm rehualing his sprites. He doesn't have much sprites (about a hundred or so), and it should take me about one to two months hopefully to finish him up for a beta. I've started earlier today touching up his sprites. The image below shows his before and after, as well as a couple of screenshots from the older StayPuft1.0.

As you can see, I added more color to him, fixed his thumb on the left, added "Stay Puft" to his hat.
He has six attacks; two close range moves, two far range attacks, and two anti-air attacks (one is pictured, the ghost punch, were he punches out a fist and a fireball comes out), three special moves, and hopefully one hyper. I'm retouching his walking move, and working on an intro (any ideas for intros or win pose would be appreciated). I'm also looking forward to a helper (probably slimer or a marshmallow monster). Any suggestions or comments or questions would be greatly appreciated in helping me finish him faster (or any help for sounds or etc.). Thank you for your time, and remember not to cross the streams... It would be bad...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

the stay puft lettering should remain in the hat :p

I can see why you discontinued him, the sprites look... so weird...

EDIT: I agree with the Below poster. Making him a Standard Giant character seems unnecessary in contrast to making him a MvC Final Boss like character.

I think he sould be made in a appocalypse style, giant character with only the torso and a hand to smash, smash, smash!

Why are you laughing? Do you find the sprites to be funny or something? That's the only thing I could think of that would make someone make a post like that in this thread.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

this one however is a very good idea. you'd have to do less sprites that way and it would reflect how gigantic he is

Blue Monkey · February 28, 2012, 05:19:43 PM

i would also suggest Zuul and her dogs as an assist, many phrases from the movie would make great intros, like The form of the exterminator has been choosen!.

Knuckles8864 · February 29, 2012, 03:28:04 AM

Now I think about it, it's a really good idea. But I wonder kind of ideas Stay Puft Marshmallow Man could have as attacks and such, since he's the size of a three-story house or more.

Also, I didn't think Stay Puft could throw fireballs (with skulls in them, nonetheless).

Because it's fucking STAY PUFT. It was funny in the movie and it's funny now. It's a hilariously awesome idea.

Okay, I'm working on it. So far I have his body, interchanging heads, and will soon work on his arms. It may take me till next week as I'm taking my time on getting the sprites right. I may also need help in coding this guy, as I have not coded a character like this before...

That's a good idea. Gozer could ask them or appear first then disapear and Stay puft rises. I'm going to try to make her, Zuul, and Shandor as helpers. A hyper may be just her turning from Stay Puft to herself to do a littel clobbering or lightning zapping. Or just turn into a Slorer. I'll even try to make a stage specific for the character. I might need help on getting the sounds, as I do not have the right equipment for it.

Probably smashing, and a little punching. That's what he did before. Also, he might throw out his marshmallow minions. I'm taking similar moves from the new Ghostbusters games and the old Sega one, which for some odd reason had him throwing out lasers and fireballs I believe. Either that I'll think of something by just watching the movie or cartoon episodes he appears in. Probably a yo-yo, he did have one in the cartoon?
I'll show what I have in three-four days from now. I should be done with most of his sprites by next week.

Knuckles8864 · March 05, 2012, 07:57:59 AM

Yes, Stay Puft did have a yo-yo in the cartoon. Almost him Slimer with it.

DoubleDandE · March 07, 2012, 08:48:38 PM

How's everyone's day been going?

I decided to work on the Gozer whip today. Below is her rough draft, as she mainly just stands in the intro before disapearing into thin air and Stay Puft popping up. Also, I might have her throw out her electricity attack for a Super Move (maybe Stay Puft Disapears and she reappears and throws out her electricity?).

So this week I'll be working on Stay Puft's moving arm, and a few of his attacks. I'll also try to make the terror dog whip by next week if I can. Right now this is what I have for a sprite comparison, yes he's big, and I'm going to be fixing up his head sprites as they are a bit too squarish and big. Let me know what you guys think. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey nice! Finally something from GhostBusters in Mugen! There is a character in Mugen called "Burner" that reminds me in a way of Staypuft (not in appearance, but in the way he would fight) he comes with a rooftop graphic attached so each time you fight him it looks like you are on a roof and he grabs you and smashes you around in a way that Staypuft might.

Check out that character on Youtube or something for some ideas. Also wasn't Slimer friends with Staypuft in the early cartoons at first? Keep it up, I'll be watching to see how he turns out!

Oh and on some ideas for moves...well, he is sort of like a "ghost boss" maybe have some ghost enter the screen and do the attacks he normally wouldn't do..such as that skull thing you had him shooting out a while back ago. This way it will make more sense then him doing all these strange moves. You could even have a special move where proton streams from the ghostbusters come from off screen and burn Staypuft and he flings Ecto-1 at the opponents with a mean face like when he was getting burned by the streams.. just an idea.

Thanks, I thought it was best to start off by making a character from Ghostbusters. I'll look into that character for some ideas. The idea about the ghost, I'll try implementing that in. The proton streams hitting Stay Puft could be used as a special or super move. Thanks again for the advice.

man id DL this is a second & the idea to make him an Apocalypse Style character........genius ,............ keep it up, im liking this alot

Jesuszilla · March 13, 2012, 02:09:11 AM

Think it needs to be just a tad smaller for it to fit within the 320x240 screen.

DoubleDandE · April 11, 2012, 06:23:11 PM

It's been a while hasn't it? Been busy on other things, but for right now here's an update. Fixed his head, the last one I need to make his him getting hurt if an enemy fires a Hyper or Super Attack. Also, I plan to make him melt if he loses the second round, would be cool...

Also i made this head for if he loses with a time over...

Still need to make Zuul, Vince Clortho, The subway ghost who will fire off the flying skulls, the stage itself, and some more Gozer sprites for the intro and first round lost. I might add in Slimer as a helper, but I was saving him for another char coming after him

.
This week I'm going to see what he looks like in mugen, as He has three attacks already made. It would also be good to get some basic coding done, and if I run into problems I can fix them as soon as possible. Hopefully I can get a beta down for testing by sometime in May. Also I need comments on how to make this yo-yo look more believable as if it is rolling on the ground.

Hhhmmm. You may be right about that, hopefully his resized head and a little trimming from the bottom will help. I won't know till I test him out.
Let me know what you guys think so far, any feedback, or help. As always appreciated. See you soon...

ZombieBrock · April 11, 2012, 09:48:04 PM
