So, for curiosity, what you need to do to finish him? And you're going do code him?
Beside finishing painting him, I'll also want to see if I can add one or two more supers, and Im coding him but not for release but instead to see if his animations and attacks works as they should. Im planning to upload the sprites first
So you're anticipating/hoping someone else will code him using your sprite set? Am I reading that correctly?
Asking for a friend who might want to code him...
The friend is me. (I probably won't ever have time but I'm curious anyway)

If the effect used for the skill is a helper, you should be able to apply palfx and invert, then pull all color from the sprite and get your fade to white/grey.
edit:
Something like...
Code: [State ##, PalFX]
type = PalFX
triggerall = ?
time = ?
mul = 100,100,100
invertall = 1
color = 0
? = I don't know what you need your trigger to be. 
I'm not sure I'm reading your post correctly (it's been a long day) but what I THINK you want is for your subtract explod/helper to fire and for it to have a diffusion into white or grey. The anim transparency for this should be Addition. This is the white or grey part. The core will be invisible.
Edit x2:
I would suggest trying to merge 2 of the same sprites on top of each other. You would use one sprite for the transparent fade you want. Then use a second sprite for the solid black color you want.
This. I hadn't noticed Odb said it already. But this is what you want.

I get the idea, but I think some critical errors occurred along the way. As someone else said, you're literally on a site with multiple free coding resources and users who are willing to assist others for free.
Don't you think you would be better off charging a fee for freelance character coding for those who aren't willing to do it?

I love the diversity with the taunts and his power that he shouldnt have as default great idea!
Thank you!
Cant wait to see more of this tbh, just as Pots said some animations need some work 
Which animations? I know that Gadouken has a palette error on the last frames, but it's nothing huge. Everything PotS listed should've been fixed in 5.1.3.

Thanks for everything and glad youre still kicking honestly cant believe its been 14 years
I still remember!! I don't know when I'll be able to do the next update, but I won't forget your suggestion. I'm pretty busy now being a Dad among other things, so updates are unfortunately going to be slow now.
But, I was thinking something like..
Gouken: What have you done, Dan?!
Dan: What I had to do. I will have revenge!
Gouken: No. I cannot let you do this. This isn't what I taught you.
Dan: *Evil power engulfing him* K..kill.. you...
Gouken: Time for your first REAL lesson, boy.
Thanks for trying him out even though it's 14 years later.

It really depends on the software you're using, but as a rule of thumb go light and dry on the reverb or you'll end up with an effect that sounds more like a bathroom. Delay should do the heavy lifting on this kind of effect.

New patch/update released! The next patch is going to focus on cleaning up the CLSNs, and then probably an AI retool.
I originally had planned to edit a lot of sounds for Evil Dan, but I've ran into an issue with Cubase that's preventing me from applying effects properly. No idea why. As a result, Evil Dan saying "Gadouken" in an abrupt, more evil way hasn't been implemented into the character... yet. So, once I lock down the cause of THAT bug hopefully Dan will have a few more vocal lines in the future.

I hope not. That would mean it's more difficult than I intended.
The current AI isn't going to be the final AI anyway. The next patch has changed more than a few combos (for the better, I think) and a lot of the combo strings the AI uses are no longer viable.

Don't worry, it'll eventually get updated in the future. I know it's kind of robotic right now.

Sept 24th, 2022: Update released! Nearly everything PotS spotted was addressed. Hopefully it's a lot less buggy now. Happy weekend!

Here's an early release! (Mugen 1.0) - Screenshots and Video to come later. I'm lazy.
I'm happy with the state of the character right now, and while there's still a good handful of things that are unfinished and still aren't done it is very much NOT a Beta anymore.
Evil Dan Version 5.1.3
Download
Evil Dan is a sort of hybrid fighter that can fit into an MvC, CvS, or Custom roster without seeming too out of place.
The Scroll System
Evil Dan is a bit more interactive than the usual shoto fighter. Because Dan never completed his Shotokan training, he cannot utilize some of the hidden/forbidden (Ansatsuken) abilities as well. He must instead store the power in order to use his Level 3 only abilities (e.g. Shun Goku Satsu). In order to store the power, he utilizes the Ten Kanji.
During 2 of his standard Taunts, you can press any Punch to cause the kanji to appear. This is stored on a scroll icon on the upper playerside portion of the screen. Using any Level 3 consumes the Kanji Scroll. If Dan tries to use a level 3 without a Kanji Scroll, he loses 1000 power, gets hurt and is in a winded state - leaving him wide open for attack.
The other scroll is the Flash Variant scroll. Dan may not have finished his training under Gouken, but he is constantly evolving his Saikyo techniques. During 3 of Dan's Taunts, the player can summon forth his Saikyo Spirit and gain one Flash Variant Scroll charge by pressing kick. This allows Dan to use a Flash Variant at will. Using a Flash Variant Scroll will consume ALL charges.
Kanji Scroll can be charged 1 time.
Flash Variant Scroll can be charged 3 times.
If all charges are stored and the scroll is complete, Dan can use the Flash Variant Shun Goku Satsu, or the Legendary Taunt.
This should encourage the player to do what Dan does best during gameplay: Taunt!
Saikyo Mode
Saikyo Mode is a secret mode enabled by a button combination at a specific time. What happens during Saikyo mode? Dan's Saikyo Spirit begins to take back control of his body and enables him to use Flash Variant Koryuken with impunity. He also receives a 25% heal. It's not easy to enable this mode during gameplay, but if the player is skilled and sets it up accordingly, it's ultra powerful.

Things left to do:
CNS Cleanup
Final Palette Pass. There are a lot of sprites that didn't convert properly in Fighter Factory and some of the colors are incorrectly assigned.
Intros for various fighters, shotos, sagat, etc. (Not high priority)
AI Update - The AI is horrible, I know. I ran into lots of issues and plan to remedy this in the future.
Intro & Ending storyboards
This character is edited heavily from multiple sources:
R's Dan was the base. R deserves mega credit here.
Gouki by Tenebrous.
Code/Sprite & AI assistance from O Ilusionista.
Kairi (You probably helped with something, bud.)
MvCE Evil Ryu by Vyn.
I think an fx sprite or two that Warusaki ripped?
Probably a lot of other resources and creators that I unfortunately cannot remember but deserve credit and acknowledgement. If I've missed someone, I am very sorry. It wasn't on purpose.
Q: How do I activate Saikyo Mode?!?!?!
A: Well, you could figure it out on your own or be petty and just look at the code - or solve this riddle: D,D,D,S during Legendary Taunt. Good luck figuring THAT out.
Q: Why can't I combo off of C+HK?
A: I found it to be a little too exploitable/cheap. There's plenty of juggle setups and linkers.
Q: I found an infinite here..
A: Are you sure? Did you test it with AI off? It may be that p2 can recover during this supposed infinite.
Q: Will there be a CVS/MVC/PotS/etc version?
A: I do not have plans to do those versions.
Q: Can I use your sprites?
A: Sure. Just remember to credit me, please.
Q: Can I edit your character?
A: If you really have to. Again, just remember to credit me. [Side note: I asked Reu this question many years ago when making the first Evil Dan sprites. He said I shouldn't. I didn't.]
Q: What's next after Evil Dan?
A: Nothin'.

Tons of awesome bug reports and recommendations, thanks! Given the amount of stuff you listed, I'll probably just PM you later for some clarification on some of your points you made (a wee bit busy today). I hope that's cool.
Edit: For anyone else providing feedback/bug reports/etc. All of PotS' points will be addressed. I mean it's PotS.. he knows way more than me about this stuff.

in Evil Dan - Current Version: 5.1.3 (Started by Nocturnis September 11, 2022, 12:39:10 AMBoard: Your Releases, 1.0+
This video is a placeholder for a future one and does not represent the current version.
Sept 24th, 2022: Update released! Nearly everything PotS spotted was addressed. Hopefully it's a lot less buggy now. Happy weekend!
(Patch Update placeholder here - Yes a small update is coming...)
Here's an early release! (Mugen 1.0) - Screenshots and Video to come later. I'm lazy.
I'm happy with the state of the character right now, and while there's still a good handful of things that are unfinished and still aren't done it is very much NOT a Beta anymore.
Evil Dan Version 5.1.3
Download
Evil Dan is a sort of hybrid fighter that can fit into an MvC, CvS, or Custom roster without seeming too out of place.
The Scroll System
Evil Dan is a bit more interactive than the usual shoto fighter. Because Dan never completed his Shotokan training, he cannot utilize some of the hidden/forbidden (Ansatsuken) abilities as well. He must instead store the power in order to use his Level 3 only abilities (e.g. Shun Goku Satsu). In order to store the power, he utilizes the Ten Kanji.
During 2 of his standard Taunts, you can press any Punch to cause the kanji to appear. This is stored on a scroll icon on the upper playerside portion of the screen. Using any Level 3 consumes the Kanji Scroll. If Dan tries to use a level 3 without a Kanji Scroll, he loses 1000 power, gets hurt and is in a winded state - leaving him wide open for attack.
The other scroll is the Flash Variant scroll. Dan may not have finished his training under Gouken, but he is constantly evolving his Saikyo techniques. During 3 of Dan's Taunts, the player can summon forth his Saikyo Spirit and gain one Flash Variant Scroll charge by pressing kick. This allows Dan to use a Flash Variant at will. Using a Flash Variant Scroll will consume ALL charges.
Kanji Scroll can be charged 1 time.
Flash Variant Scroll can be charged 3 times.
If all charges are stored and the scroll is complete, Dan can use the Flash Variant Shun Goku Satsu, or the Legendary Taunt.
This should encourage the player to do what Dan does best during gameplay: Taunt!
Saikyo Mode
Saikyo Mode is a secret mode enabled by a button combination at a specific time. What happens during Saikyo mode? Dan's Saikyo Spirit begins to take back control of his body and enables him to use Flash Variant Koryuken with impunity. He also receives a 25% heal. It's not easy to enable this mode during gameplay, but if the player is skilled and sets it up accordingly, it's ultra powerful.

Things left to do:
CNS Cleanup
Final Palette Pass. There are a lot of sprites that didn't convert properly in Fighter Factory and some of the colors are incorrectly assigned.
Intros for various fighters, shotos, sagat, etc. (Not high priority)
AI Update - The AI is horrible, I know. I ran into lots of issues and plan to remedy this in the future.
Intro & Ending storyboards
This character is edited heavily from multiple sources:
R's Dan was the base. R deserves mega credit here.
Gouki by Tenebrous.
Code/Sprite & AI assistance from O Ilusionista.
Kairi (You probably helped with something, bud.)
MvCE Evil Ryu by Vyn.
I think an fx sprite or two that Warusaki ripped?
Probably a lot of other resources and creators that I unfortunately cannot remember but deserve credit and acknowledgement. If I've missed someone, I am very sorry. It wasn't on purpose.
Q: How do I activate Saikyo Mode?!?!?!
A: Well, you could figure it out on your own or be petty and just look at the code - or solve this riddle: D,D,D,S during Legendary Taunt. Good luck figuring THAT out.
Q: Why can't I combo off of C+HK?
A: I found it to be a little too exploitable/cheap. There's plenty of juggle setups and linkers.
Q: I found an infinite here..
A: Are you sure? Did you test it with AI off? It may be that p2 can recover during this supposed infinite.
Q: Will there be a CVS/MVC/PotS/etc version?
A: I do not have plans to do those versions.
Q: Can I use your sprites?
A: Sure. Just remember to credit me, please.
Q: Can I edit your character?
A: If you really have to. Again, just remember to credit me. [Side note: I asked Reu this question many years ago when making the first Evil Dan sprites. He said I shouldn't. I didn't.]
Q: What's next after Evil Dan?
A: Nothin'.

Anyone I forgot to thank. Sorry.
Edit: Oh right! Please, please, please! Let me know your opinion! I started this thing like 14 years ago and forgot about it and only recently started working on it again.
Edit2: Current bug with Gadouken Anim. Will be fixed in next update.
