MvC: Extended is alive and better than ever

[lui]

Guess who's back. Back again.

So, you may be wondering "what? again?", "nah it's gonna die again just like last 2 times", or something along those lines. And that's fair!

BUT, remember that Kyo I was working on? Well, coding that basically got me back interested in working with the template fulltime again.

But, before I tackled jumping back in, I wanted to see if there were any improvements to IKEMEN or MUGEN since I last attempted the project, as I was really getting sick of MUGEN's limitations, and lo and behold, IKEMEN GO, is now powering this project. I am taking advantage of alot of major features to get this game to be feature packed as I wanted it to be originally.

I first started by porting over the screenpack by MangeX and Mazemerald to get the ball rolling. Naturally, everything worked out well and that's what set me off to work with IKEMEN GO as the main engine of use.

What does this mean?

Well, it means the following things are now featured by default:





Proper 2v2 training with training by stupa built in, complete with options!

More in-depth options menu with more features.

ONLINE MODE, with a networking system that remembers past opponents similar to an ID system.

AI disabled by default when players are in use.

PROPER giant boss fights.

Proper Quick Match against CPU mode.

Score challenge (to be implemented in the future).

The abillity to select your character in between the vs screen before the match starts.

Tag Team mode enabled by default, no more single or turns whatsoever.

And much, much more!








This has been a long time coming, and with new knowledge on how to improve the overall tag system, and other authors such as 087-B, Bigruss91, Kenshiro99 and others pitching in to help finish the project Darkwolf13 and I started, It's gonna be the most important thing I've ever had a pleasure to work on here.

We are currently gearing up for a beta release with the full roster sometime soon this year, and then a stable 1.0 release with additional content and features once that's out of the way.

Oi, it ain't Mahvel without a touch of jank. XD

I never heard of Ikeman. It's another engine you can use Mugen Def files with?

[YourImagination]

Looking at the inclusion of MvCI Venom made remember: there were plans to implement certain UMvC3 features to different characters (I recall simplifying Magneto's inputs and including Doom's Hidden Missiles among those). Is that still on the table or that won't be possible for now?

Either way, wishing y'all the best with this project.

I've discussed with Lui how Doom will be handled, there's always stuff on the table I think!

As for Magneto... up in the air but I personally want him to feel very fun in this one.

certain characters will remain faithful to their original counterparts moveset wise, while others will be updated to reflect their modern changes such as Dr. Doom, Venom, etc.

Magento I plan on keeping faithful to his Marvel 2 counterpart but with his level 3 from 3.

[Retro Respecter]

My apologies, but I felt as if I had to do this.

Either way you see it, the message is still the same. Welcome back, lui.

By the way, have your plans for Marvel vs. Capcom: Extended changed since you last touched this?

[Croix12]

Nice to see this project back!

Roster will be way smaller than originally planned.  MVC2 cast but, a few with remixed movesets and a couple of extra characters.

Twelve was planned but was scrapped due to technical stuff.

[TMC55]

Very excited to see this come back. Will definitely keep my eyes peeled.
