Could you add an intro to RagingRowens Akuma/shin too cuz that's basically just an edit of  Deathscythe's. Strangely ryus intros work for deathscythes akuma but not for RR's inspite of the author name being the same in both.

Some things I've noticed with Evil Ryu and Iori;

-During His special intro with Orochi Iori, Evil Ryu gains control prior to the match starting

-Iori uses the wrong palette on the select screen

Also I noticed Gouken does his special intro with Deathscythe's Akuma despite the latter not being updated with that intro.

Not sure if it’s just me but the special intro for evil Ryu Vs Violent Ken doesn’t seem to work

Are you downloading the lastest version from here?
https://divinewolf.trinitymugen.net/chars/
Be sure you're getting that one.

Hey thanks for the heads up! I forgot there was a different page for updated versions of DW's characters. Now with that said, I have a feeling Akuma was updated from the version you patched because the patch is still not working (System.cns is crashing), but I do notice new SFX on Akuma. Might want to check it out.

Oddly enough it loads on Ikemen but with an extra Akuma in the background.

The colors on his small portrait are messed up

the landing effect and sound also plays 1 frame too early when he touches the ground performing any version of Shoryuken or Evil Ryu's Messatsu Goshoryu.

Also in my opinion, he feels kinda stiff when he returns to his standing animation from using Ashura Senku. Since he can't move for a few ticks after teleporting and the landing sound plays, he has no animation and just sits there. Not sure if that is accurate to CvS2 or it's just me.

I have nothing too relevant to say, I noticed 2 small things:
Ryu and Evil Ryu specific winquotes doesn't work when they fighting against each other.
Evil Ryu LK pal and start+HK pal are too similar (just a slightly different tone of green), it could be a problem in a mirror match. And his teeth have the same color of his gi on some palettes.

Multiple attempts of redownloading DivineAkuma and applying your patch but still couldn't get the special intros working. Tried in both Mugen 1.1 and Ikemen nightly (could that be the reason?)

Sorry if I didn't test earlier. Here's what I found so far:

- Senshubu doesn't knock down against air. First hits of EX as well
- Same with Urarimon
- Haten Mueishu is too effective at long range, still doing most of its max damage and being safer on block than when done close. The Lv1 version also just flat out reaches too far but I guess it's to make the animation work better
- Kiko Kai has a lot of width, making it less effective with all the pushback. I like to limit extra width to a light punch's pushback myself
- Kiko Kai Clsn2 could be a lot bigger when you consider its purpose in Mugen
- Lv1 Kiko Kai could have a smaller scale than the MAX version
- Renkan Ko input is wrong in the readme (starts with F + z)
- Kurakusho should disable Y movecamera for P2
- cHP misses KFM at point blank. Even if he microwalks back a bit
- The victory portrait isn't vertically centered. Considering the only standard we had for it was (I think) KFM's normal big portrait, you should treat it as having 140 pixels in height
- Urarimon is kind of a do everything move. Relatively safe, good super cancel confirm and good in CC. Just food for thought
- The AI is very weak against keepaway fireballs

EDIT:
- Can't CC Air Kiko Kai

Dang, I wanted to transition into using CvS2 lie down hurtboxes, but I'll have to match the standard. Fixed.

You have to consider that they're kind of good for nothing in that game. I think Sakura's are too wide, too.

I rushed to make this one.

A small suggestion for her lv3: It might be better to give her two helpers individual voices instead of repeating the same sound.

Currently, it sounds a bit robotic at regular speed. Well, to me, at least.

The typo on quote 2 is "fall in the flames"? Being fall *into* the flames the correct sentence?

I probably should've specified, but the typo in question was "seem" yourself, not entirely sure about the "fall in the flames" bit being incorrect, but I digress.

Great job on Akira for the most part though.

Just a small minor error I discovered right away on Ryu's update. When you inverted his big portrait, it's now completely off-centered as the x axis is 119 instead of 0.

That skulls effect looks great!
Also really impressed by how fluid the animation are in general, base on the gif.
Excited to test her out!

Akira
-Liedown hurtbox is awfully low to the ground

you might want to raise the height of it to match that of DeathScythe's Sakura or so , as I've noticed this happens with knuckles8864's Yamazaki: https://streamable.com/kwwv1a

-Aside from a corner only link I've found there doesn't seem to be much practical use to Airborne EX Kiko Kai (especially given it does the same damage as HP version, which you can cancel into from j.MP for free, granted unless there's something I'm missing here).

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but Kaihosho's follow-ups can only be done if you've comboed into Kaihosho from HP; was this intentional?

-Readme says that HP launches for a juggle reset, did you actually mean the command launcher or is this just an error?

-Just a suggestion, maybe omit the latter part of "Hit by Apple for You" as the apple kinda ends up awkwardly floats there when Akira "holds it" to her chest, again just a suggestion.

Iori
-victory quotes 2 and 7 have typos (the ";" put after "Congratulations" in victory7 causes the rest of the quote to not display)

-Kotosuki In refuses to transition into its attack portion of the move on certain wide characters (ex. Victorys' Juggernaut) while they're standing in addition to an odd interaction with Yami Sogi: https://streamable.com/9s64i9

-EX Yami Burai has a reflection/shadow upon being destroyed (EX Mode)

-Not really attributed to Iori himself but Claw (Vega) doesn't do his part of the special intro upon initially loading the match (only on reload)

-Finally Iori is missing a sprite for "Hit by Hammer Throw"

Apologies for the large amount of feedback, just thought this stuff should be mentioned.

Experimental (custom)


Red, Black Gold


SF4 styled colours


Based off her SFV appearance

If I'm not mistaken, she had some tweaks thru the years, from '96 thru '03, to where some animations in one game were different in another.  Though, maybe it's too much work to go through each year to see what's changed.

Maybe switch it to where the flip is the back jump, and arms in the air is the neutral?

I would consider doing the jump ignoring these animations. I've added extra sketched frames to see what the first jump would look like and it's still confusing on screen, they're very bad animations to work with it.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

I'd use Maki's jump edited with extra frames and some modification, maybe with the arms stretched out like in Leona's original jump, the movement would distance itself enough from Maki and fit Leona's fighting style enough to not be Very obvious. she has proportions very similar to Leona, so it wouldn't be so complicated to adapt and it would be clearer on screen.
it would only need to be done by someone who knew how to do animations in the KOF style or a simple conversion in the style of CvS of the entire spritesheet Painting over shading with flatter colors (in the future these sprites could be improved) which I think is what best fits with all the characters you have been doing, although I understand that it is a lot of work.
