A Variety of Characters and Stages Smoother Out {Darth Vader wip}

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Welcome to my edits thread.

     I've been doing a lot of minor updating, bug fixing, adjusting, aligning animations, deltas all that fun stuff, just to sort of round off the edges of some characters and stages I like.  I was doing it mostly to polish off my roster for a screenpack I'm working on, but I'll be sharing my work on this thread, and updating it as I go.  Hope you enjoy, please feel free to use any of it.  No credit necessary, but I do think it's good practice just so people can find their way back to the creators of things they like.  I take no credit for the original assembly of any of these characters or stages, I'm just fixing them up.  Feedback welcome with a slim possibility of requests.

Endoedgar made a couple of bosses from Metroid which were basically too small to fight regular sized characters.  They're made to fight his Samus' who are about half the size of your average Ryu, so I just doubled their scale and doubled the size of the stages.  No changes to the characters at all other than that.  Seeing as his Motherbrain does have a scaled up version already, I've just provided a link to his page for you to get her.  Her 'hd' scaled stage on that page is not scaled at all tho for whatever reason, so I provided a version of that here too.

From the Todd McFarlanes Comic. I made a crap load of changes to this character. 
There is a change log in the file, but Very basically:

-Realigned all sprites (for foot position), anims, basics and some hypers.
-Added many new frames to basics and specials to smooth out animation.
-Added more range and velocity to the Hell Chains special
-Replaced weak punch with a standing jab, and made medium into a 2 hit weak/medium combo.
-Dropped the weak kick, demoted medium and fierce kicks, and added a fierce knee
 with a lot of range.
-Changed start of walk anim so it flows out of standing better
-Frankensprited in a bad butt lifter with his cape for crouch fierce kick (can be chained twice, so i cut the damage in half)
-Smoothed out all tic counts in anims to make him less choppy and a little quicker.
-Added just a little bit of forward movement to the fierce uppercut.
-Made the projectile less transparent, but fades to transparency when exploding.
-Changed his default palette from grey to black.

__/ add 6/15/12
-tweaked velocity push on hell chains
-added velocity to flip kick in air
-changed velocities of drill cape, so it moves at the angle it looks like it's supposed to,
 just at different speeds depending on the button pushed to trigger it.  slow drill works
 nice as a float to get over projectiles, or dashes especially when done from super jump.
-minor artistic tweaks to standing anim to make him look like less of a hulk.
 (lowered trapezius muscle, added curvature to waist. (see above for new stance w/new default palette)
 also cleaned up hand opening and closing.
-tweaked default palette and green palette both to a darker black, and greened up the eye some.
-added 3 custom large portraits.

-If I'm not done with this character I'm really close, at least for a long while.

Here is a link to a Duke Nukem stage by Xdegenerate: Stage Page

(click to show/hide)

By Alucard.  There really is a lot that could be done to this character.
I'm not going to do all of it, but I might update him once more after
this, so keep an eye out.
-Fixed Bat-Mobile hyper so after he runs the opponent over, he throws it
 in reverse and backs up to a stop before blasting them with missiles,
 rather than just cutting to that position.
-Realigned the opponent in his Crime Alley hyper, so he holds them up
 the way he's supposed to. usually. (depends on the character really)
-Cut the damage way down on the crime alley hyper.
-Will check on cybasters old feedback list and see if there is anything
 quick and easy I can do. The coding for this character is kind of a mess
 tho.  If he were cleaner,  better labeled, and not all stuffed into one cns file,
 I'd probably be willing to do a lot more.

 If I Only had a Brain, got the actual song, sped it up so the bpms
 line up, cut the voice clips and collaged together another minute
 or so so the madness goes on for the entire song.
-Commented their animations out of the stage so it makes sense
 to use them there.  Just uncomment them if you want to use
 another character in that stage.

Ok this is a fun mashup of some existing material.  It's a bonus round that was a bunch of snakes.  I swapped the floor for the floor in an airplane crashing stage, and got a few 'snakes on a plane sparta mixes' and cut them together in garage band.  I have motherfucking had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!

This fun little collage of material didn't take much work at all, mostly just assembly.  The car had one move it loved to spam so I toned that down a bit, the song had a longer intro that I copped off for posterity, and the stage got a name change, but other than that it was just a fun combination that I thought was worth sharing.  Enjoy!

This is a spreadsheet I whipped up while working on the polishing tutorial.  It allows you to input all of your characters damage values, and groups the characters by type, or however you like really, and calculates the average attack values per group, as well as the average for the entire roster.  It also has a section where it allows you to input a single characters data and compare it to the overall average of the roster, to make sure it's as fair as you like.  Works great with the Training character which returns damage when hit.

All of my editing is building toward finishing and filling this SP.  For that reason I really only edit characters that are on here.  There are a couple hundred hidden slots to, so if you don't see a character, there's a chance it's still on there.  If you want to make an editing request, this screen is pretty much my range. 

Check out the Screenpacks WIP thread for progress on that.

This is a beginner level tutorial that I wrote up.  If you have 0 or less knowledge of how character coding works, but would like to try getting your hands dirty with some simple edits, this is for you.

This is a 'polishing / finalizing techniques' thread to try to gather up some of these techniques and write up a tutorial.  In time, I hope it will describe how to take a mediocre character (of which there are so many), and add in some finishing touches to make them excellent.  Any little step helps, so if you have something to share (or to learn) please visit this thread!

Taking a short sojourn form editing to finish up an HD screenpack WIP .  Another week or so should
see the end of that. <-hahaha  Keep an eye out here for it.  That's my main priority at the moment.
Aside from that I'm working on an edit of MMV's Venom, and breaking down Omegapsycho's MK1 Shang Tsung

Honestly, Space Godzilla is possibly abandoned due to lack of attacks making him not really worth it.
CVG Spawn, waiting on another edit to possibly merge.  Someone mentioned that Arlequin might merge some edits with his original for an 'official' version, so that's where that sits.
Deathstar is done pending a few sprite changes.  That will happen some day. 
Next I'm looking at breaking down OMEGAPSYCHO's and Juano16's Shang Tsungs into individual characters.

Welcome to IMT, RobotMonkeyHead. Remember me?

Hey! What's up Trin?  Good to know you're around here too, I'll be seein you around. 

[Magma MK-II]

Pictures would be nice.

[RobotMonkeyHead]

I didn't add anything visual, I just tweaked some values and got rid of a pain in the butt bug or two.  It's a pretty simple edit really.

If I get to doing edits where I add in visual effects and the like I'll add in some screens to show em off.

[Magma MK-II]

I was talking about adding pictures of your chars to your post.

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Ok I see, that I can certainly do.  I was actually considering adding gifs of their stances a few days ago, but laziness prevailed.  Now that you're mentioning it too tho, I think it's about time I get on it.

EDIT: Added standing gifs to most characters in first post.  Still have to add the Tick and change a couple static pics to animated gifs.  That'll happen soon.  Also davismaximus over at guild made some palettes for Tyrant, so I added those and updated the link to include them.

[RobotMonkeyHead]

*Added Darth Vader wip to first post for testing and feedback.
*Tyrant palettes by davismaximus added in first post.  DL link updated. 
*Added standing gifs of all characters and reorganized first post.
