I'm very happy to see that Max' 

I am so happy to be back! I've been standing still for a long time! And I have a lot of ideas!

Feel free to let me know if you've lost some mugen datas with time

Hello my friend, how are you? Yes, I lost! The problem that I think will be hard to find ...
These are two of my characters that I was playing, but at the time I only made available to some friends and the people of G.E.M ...
One is Dragon Ball Z's Reecon with ripped Anime sounds!
And the other was sonic knuckles with some edited MamboJambo hits ...
The worst thing for everyone I ever asked doesn't have it anymore either ...

What I can find:
;   Maximus,    ;MAXIMUS SUPREMOS by MAXIMUS, (RSFF), (D2W)
;   normalzero, stages/skylagoon.def, music=sound/MMX4_OST_-_OPENING_STAGE_ZERO_(ROCKMAN_X1-6_DISC_3).mp3   ;NORMAL ZERO by MAXIMUS, (RSFF), (D2W)
;   szero0,    ;SUPER ZERO by MAXIMUS, (RSFF), (D2W)
TigreNegro, stages/fortal.def, music=sound/SFA_Rmx_-_Punched_by_a_Rose_OC_ReMix.mp3   ;TigreNegro by MAXIMUS_MamboJambo, (I&EI), (410)

... 

Your English is good enough.

Allow me to explain what's happening.

The people that liked this didn't care much for how the character played, they only cared about how the character looked. These people never cared about gameplay, they just wanted a character that looked flashy and either gave them easy wins(thanks to the jank the character possessed) or had "strong AI" (Because the only mode they touch is Watch mode). These people haven't gone away. There are still stuff being made that is poorly made gameplay wise, but is flashy enough so they don't care.

People like Giang and I don't have much interest in flashiness and are more interested that the gameplay is solid and follows basic FG standards. I simply watched the video and didn't test it myself and I could tell there was some weird stuff that wasn't right just by eyeballing it.

Maximus, don't worry about some people being too harsh to the point of being rude.

I understood the fact the crouching light punch was supposed to be unblockable as a joke. You took feedback pretty well.
It's also understandable that no one pointed out mistakes (or "features" ) in your character since it was supposed to be fun... for the period.
You came back after a long time, so stuff like "he's been here for 6 years" is not really necessary, nor is the "he shouldn't be contributor" line I've read here. Don't mind those.

My feedback, and Giang's, is supposed to improve the character for replay value more than for "lulz he's flashy" and then forgetting about it.


- The voice thing I listed (every light attack one voiceclip, every medium attack another voiceclip and the heavy attacks yet another one) could make the character sound too repetitve, maybe make it so he plays the clips once in a while.

---

- The launchers being two is a bit weird, one is a command and the other is just a button, what would anyone choose? The one with the button, it's easier and more intuitive to do, rendering the command launcher (the QCB, any kick launcher, to be precise) useless or a filler move. It's bad to have filler moves that can be replaced by more versatile moves.

---

- Is the character supposed to have combos? A combo system like MvC characters? Because the grounded attacks don't allow for combo-ability and you have launchers that should, in theory, open possibilities for aerial combos, a staple of the MvC series. But it's difficult to do those too.

---

- The collision boxes are bad, they were probably okay for the time (not really, they just meant a broken character even by those days' standards), but you should definitely check them out.
For example, in the neutral jump animation, while he's falling down, he has no CLSNs making him completely invincible.
The taunt animation has frames where they're not present or are too small.

There are so many animations where you have to fix those.
One rule I use is using the standing animation blue CLSNs for actions like guarding (standing), turning, taunting, get hits (standing), and in general for standing actions (with modifications, of course), the crouching animation blue CLSNs for crouching actions etc.; I mean, don't make new ones every time: make everything more cohesive.

There are tutorials about it, like this one although it's a bit outdated: http://www.kod.trinitymugen.net/#tuts
there was also a discussion about making CLSNs cover the exact same space the sprite does (which is wrong, in my opinion), like this: http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/tutorial-part-2-collision-boxes-170309.0.html


this is a bad CLSN placement. Not only the kick has lots of priority (red CLSNs not covered by blue CLSNs), there are also too many.
What I would do, not looking at the games, just by my own judgement of what's better, and following the tutorials, would be this:

See how the blue CLSN covers the red one? Also there are less boxes too. It's all about optimizing and making them game-friendly.
Mind you, my way of putting the collision boxes might be wrong, but at least it's much better than adding too many of them.

---

- Also the timings on the attacks are slow for the animations and the pausetimes are too small.
pausetime = 1
not even pausetime = 1,any number

There is a pausetime = 1   ;8,10
why didn't you use the 8,10 one? Or at least something different, but fitting for the attack?

---

---

---

---

---

That's all for now. I didn't look too much into the supers although I saw some that are silly.
Ah, yes, there's one thing about them. The supers (which use power) give back power. That shouldn't be a thing.
Add getpower = 0,0 to the hitdef of the moves.

Considering this character 110% would be wrong, there's so much to be fixed, hopefully you'll make it better (if you intend to fix it of course).

If you consider this aggressive, you should have seen a few years ago. This is tame compared to that time.
You said you wanted to improve and fix this character. Giang has provided a nice little list explaining some critical flaws for you to look over and your response was "Yea, those mistakes were actually intentional" which puts doubt as to whether you were serious about improving. When you get called out on it, you decide to backpedal with "It was a joke lol".

Looking at the feedback, you have quite a lot of work ahead of you, if you do decide to go fix this character. As of right now, I'll have to agree with Giang. I have no reason to believe you will fix and improve your character based on your actions.

You are, of course, more than welcome to prove me wrong.

how it was poorly coded

really necessary?

Necessary. I expected an author with 6 years of experience and multiple releases at this point would have known simple stuff like damage scaling or the fact that when the red CLSN comes out too soon, opponents won't be able to block it, or even how to make explod not being linked when root's palette being manipulated (and a ton of other things). Even an inexperience coder like me can point out those flaws so there is no excuse for this and this character is a disaster from coding point alone.
And the fact he tried to disguise those flaws as "features" doesn't help him at all in this case.

liked this joke character, lol

Sima Shi said, October 27, 2019, 06:02:43 am

well i cant argue on that matter... oh well

sorry for my little banter Umezono since i just cant stand his excuses to not fix of his stuff

MAXIMUS said, October 27, 2019, 05:18:53 am

In fact the idea was to be unfair even!

It's ok, turned out the character was supposed to be a joke and we shouldn't take it seriously so put down the pitchforks folks. I should remember this whenever I see your releases to avoid wasting my time providing feedbacks as soon as I see how the unblockable low punch being intentional instead of a glitch due to how it was poorly coded in the character's file.

well i cant argue on that matter... oh well

sorry for my little banter Umezono since i just cant stand his excuses to not fix of his stuff

is that an excuse that you wont fix your stuff?

i guess people has low standard when it comes to character making now...

i dunno why MFG given them a contributor rank for a such bad quality content

MAXIMUS said, October 27, 2019, 04:16:44 am

The low punch is an example ... I purposely did it this way ...

....why?

Ignoring the fact that an unblockable low jab is really unfair, there's no point in using any other normal. Use the low jab that will always hit.

I'll keep my eyes for the future updates bro. The issues Giang pointed out, many of them are the same issues that were already in the original version.
Keep going!

He has a ton of problems.
- No damage scaling.
- Unblockable crouching light punch.
- No damage scaling.
- Can grab out of blockstun.
- Nothing (except Flash Kick) is punishable.
- A ton of FXs share pal with root so they will just change the color when root's palette is manipulated.

And some more stuff that AlexSin pointed out:

Quote

- the timings on the attacks are so wonky
- it's difficult to make air combos should he have those? Or any combo system for that matter. He has two launchers, one is c.HP, the other is QCB, kick
- The standing light kick animation return immediately to the stand animation
- His CLSNs are terrible, the attacks have so much priority (I mean the CLSN1, the red ones, don't also have the CLSN2, the blue ones, to give it less priority).
- The same voice clip for the light attacks, another voice clip for all mediums and another voice clip for all strong attacks. Not any variation. :frowning:
- The throw attempt makes some dust for some reason...

He is pretty wacky and needs more playtest.

This is good news. Good work. 
I confess that some time ago when I discovered this char I was a little envious that there was no character from Argentina.

Feel free to let me know if you've lost some mugen datas with time

I'm very happy to see that Max' 

Oh, I am gonna have fun and fickle ideas with Neutro !='s Dictator.

I thought it was lost forever and begrudgingly accepted it, but...!

Thank you very much bringing back these nice blasts from the past~!

Are that means at you publishing something NEW?

Good memories from the past!
I remember playing most of them when we had so many different mugen communities around.

But it's good to see these oldschool characters are still compatible thanks to the fixes ^^

great to see Dos era Mugen creator back  I saw a typo in your website, it is under G.E.M -> Stage -> Victor SSJ3, the samurai shodown stage of Jubei Yamada should be Jubei Yagyu, not Jubei Yamada. Jubei Yamada is from Fatal Fury series

Hi Maximus, I'm a older MGBR user, "Makoto-kun", I'm happy to see you again!

welcome back, buddy.

This is a really great news. Welcome back!

awesome and welcome back and hope you make new characters in the near future

Oh wow, another one comes back to MUGEN. Welcome back Max, and good luck with your projects!

Eu testei esta parada de falas dos personagens no Trigre negro!
Na realidade esta já é uma das novidades dele!
Mas eu percebi que quem joga o jogo no idioma "inglês", não só as palavras com acento não aparecem, como as vezes as frases saem corrompidas! Então decidi não colocar acentos para que ele funcione corretamente! O que você acha disto? Ou só aconteceu comigo? 

.   Bom, MAXIMUS... eu demorei para resolver esse problema e só resolveu quando me meti a escrever algumas frases pelo celular. Aí saquei o esquema:

1) Estamos acostumados a escrever essas coisas no Bloco de Notas do Windows, que por padrão salva em ANSI. O Mugen lê essas frases no formato UTF-8 (o mesmo de celulares e aplicativos orientais). Passe a usar "Salvar Como" > "Codificação: UTF-8" que o problema cessa. (O Fighter Factory tende a não mudar a codificação).

2) Essa parada das frases de vitória agora segue uma codificação internacional de letras (Validação ISO 639-1 . Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes)... É por causa disso que alguns caracteres de acentos somem, são mudados ou viram símbolos japoneses. Por isso que é preciso definir o idioma das frases no começo da lista. O mais próximo do nosso é "pt". (Não é o partido, viu!?)

3) Inglês não tem acentos, MAXIMUS. Eles tem os fonemas, mas representam diferente: nosso "é" se torna "eh" para eles (e se não me engano, o "ê" se torna "he"). Você pode fazer uns macetes da época do computador Apple II (ou TK-2000) como escrever o apóstrofo ao lado, representando o " é "   como " e' " ou colocar um "_" na linha de cima e sobre o "a" para parecer um "ã", mas é trabalhoso, de resultado irregular e eu não recomendo. Pense melhor antes de escrever frases em português em um Mugen configurado para inglês. Mas admito que quase ninguém se preocupa em trocar o idioma padrão no MUGEN.CFG.

MEGA eu sei que não apaga, tenho a anos e ta la os arquivos.

Minha conta do MediaFire é recente, então não sei dizer, mas a do OneDrive é bem antiga e tenho tudo la ainda. E sim, 50 GB do MEGA pra conta gratuita.
