Oh Sh$%! Ryuji has a W.I.P!? A.K.A. Show me your moves!

[Ryuji]

Yes... after much study (and leeching) I've finally gotten the motivation to release my first W.I.P. And unless you didn't get the hint from the title of the topic, here's my first project: Captain Falcon.


Yes, yes, before anybody decides to flip out and go "ZOMGYOUN00BDOEZSPRITESLUUKLIEKCRAPGOBACK2YOURKNITTINGCUZYUSUK!!!", I do realize my sprite-work leaves much to be desired, but I figured I'd still give it a try, and I would like to give back to the mugen community in some shape or fashion. If anyone is interested in doing the sprites for this project, or if you are willing to give some "constructive" criticism and/or tips to make Cap'n Falcon look more aesthetic, then post away.

First of all, I'm using Cyclops as the base, with some of the sprites taken from Captain America as well. I couldn't find a sprite sheet/pack for Cyclops so I had to use an already-made character, which means I'm gonna have to get permission to use/alter the owner's original work (this is [Vanessa]'s Cyclops, by the way). Anyway, here's the low-down on what needs to be done:

- Create sprites to be redone to look like Captain Falcon
- Customize/Frankensprite from Cyclops and Cap'n America to create signature moves and poses
- Find a source for sounds/voice rips for him (seriously, I tried looking all over for decent voice rips for this guy... Anyone know where I may get them? I prefer voice rips from Smash Bros. Melee) - Done
- Find flame sprites to use for specials
- Code him so that he plays in MVC fashion
- pray

At any rate, I've got my work cut out for me, but if anyone wants to lend a hand, be my guest.

Which do you think would look better?

Sweet looking sprite. Good luck!

ehhhmmmmmm which what man? explain

[BigJ]

I think it looks great, although his boots need more detail. IIRC his boots have falcons on them. Also, you should go with his GX style helmet, where the eagle's wings stick out instead of being flat on the helmet. (just search google images for captain falcon f zero gx and you'll see what I mean.)

btw, I can definitely get you sounds from melee (and by get I mean separate the sounds from the mp3 at GH) just pm me and I'll get started.

I meant which would look better, flame sprites, or flames created with Particle Illusion, and after googling a bit, I think I'll go with Particle Illusion. Those effects were pretty....

I looked for the GX style helmet, and found a good reference, so I'll make the suitable changes. As for the boots, I'll start working on them as soon as I get all the other major things out of the way. And yeah, if you could get me those sounds, I'd be greatly indebted to you.

[ultimatedude]

By the way, its Show your moves, not Show me your moves

but anyway

I like the sprites, but I saw you should use darker shades, and unspqaurify the head abit

[Lime]

Looks pretty good.

I think GigabowserX and some other guy were working on a Captain Falcon, but it appears to have been scrapped. :<

A couple of suggestions I have; the Falcon Punch should probably be a super. Also, he could have a super Falcon Punch like this as a Level 3. The other moves would work fine as specials, probably as half-circle motions or maybe charge motions.

[DMK]

Sprite needs alot of work but I'm sure you planned on it.

Cyclops edit right?

Everything at the top looks unnatural.

Maybe Cable would fit better or even Captain America.

But hey good luck. Beats any of the God/super duper  evil and etc.

Let's see some more edits and in-game screens soon.

[MCX]

Nice, but his underwear part needs a better shading
the same for the right and left arm.
The left arm look strange in the angle of it.
Keep going

[mugen nub]

awesome! though i think the upper body sprites look a tad weird. and the pants need more shading. also, he needs his knee of justice atack

Correct, Cyclops is the base, and I'll be using some of Captain America's sprites as well. Actually, when I first started out this project, I thought of using Captain Commando as the base, but that was short-lived. Also, I thought about using Cable, but Cable looks too bulky to be able to move as fast as Cap'n Falcon should be able to. Cable's got power, but Cap'n Falcon was made with speed in mind as well, which is why I decided to go with Cyclops.

On the subject of shading, does anyone wanna give their hand in on making it look better? You can see the somewhat extent of my abilities from the example pic in the OP.

He would look better leaning over.  Also, one of his fists in front of him should shake like he does in the SSB series.  Be sure to include an SND file that has his SSB64 voice, along with an SND file that has his SSBM voice.

BigJ was kind enough to provide me with voice rips for him from SSBM, but if you want an alternate voice pack, would you be so kind as to provide me with the voice rips from SSB64?

[MugenFreak30]

Slick! I always wanted Captain Falcon for Mugen! Now all I need is for it to be completed and then I'll add him to my roster. When it's finished, will you PM me with where I can download it from?

[Mugen Man 20X6]

Stance looks good, but i think it will look better if the stance was edited from cvs m.bison/vega
great work so far though

[MugenFreak30]

Did you get the profile picture I sent you? I trimmed it from an F-Zero GX pic I found in a Google image search.

[[(_sourlucas_)]>]

DUDE! I was totally gonna make that! lol The only difference that Was going to do was base falcon's body off of Captain America's since captain america has a little bit more motion like falcon excluding america's stance though.

[Lobo]

For a start it is not bad at all.

Remember to learn what you can about photoshop and bear in mind the behavior of the cap.

For example a theoretical moveset woul be:

FALCON PAUNCH! - QCF + P (PP for stronger punch and PPP for strongest)

Falcon Kick (he did this on the 1st smash bros.) - QCF + K (again KK for stronger and so on...)

Dashing Falcon kick (remember to have him bounce off the sides of the screen. You can compare coding from chun li, spiderman, and vega.) - Hold back to charge then K (and as said before KK for stronger and yadda yadda)

Air jumping explody grabbing (dunno the name off the bat) - Hold down to charge then P (and again yadda yadda)

Now if you want to you can have some of these moves be used on the air if you like.

I didn't reall get what style of groove you are going to have him use. My example moveset is for something capcom based. But if you are going to keep the cap so that he plays like in smash bros. by all means do so if you wish.

If you want to do that then you'll have to look at warner's Luigi for coding comparison.

Hope your project goes well. Just remember that perfection is not a finish line but a journey.
