Megaman, Axl Wip

[Rage]

Im at the point were i want finallize the designs cuz i got many sprites but lots of em are from different base edits so here the two different finals:



I like the rounded shoulders better

Also I redid the forward view of his face to look more like capcom's Axl

Old:   New:

 

[O Ilusionista]

thanx bud, it was u how made me push forward with him

...and now I'm back with him

[Jelux Da Casual]

Awe yeah Rage, now you got it!

[Rage]

Dame it been a while since i post here   Wel im here to tell u im joining er1 else Im finish with Axl he's cancelled

(click to show/hide)

Just kidding. Im working on him just finshing of the basics and getting ready to write the attack list.

So Axl is very much alive.

I got a ideal for axl, i wanted to give him three modes.

1:   Normal mode _  Fights just like a regular character

2:  Gunner mode _ Uses a hyper bar to changes modes. In this mode All attacks buttons are changed to different Guns. He has rapid fire but cant run, his defence is lowered, and he doesnt gain any hyper metter or use hypers, to counter the Gun and people who love to spam . I want to be able to combo different guns too.

3: Lumina mode _ Use all 3 bars. Axl defence is increased, Buttons are changed to Guns, Axl is a temporally granted unlimited flight, and rapid fire is increased. This attack last 4 a few seconds

Is this all possible with programing?

[Bowasiel]

mmmm good ideas!!!! yeah u can make them like transformations of DBZ characters... Ill look  for axl's weapons! ^^

X8 weapons

(click to show/hide)

   Moving Wheel, Wind Cutter, Explosion, Gaea Shield, Volt Tornado, Sniper
Missile, Splash Laser, Circle Blaze

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  MOVING WHEEL || COLLECTED: BOARSKI    ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || Pure crappiness in the bag, unless you ||
                || have X charge it. The damage is even   ||
                || worse than Zero's Zankourin, although  ||
                || it's slightly faster. However, if X    ||
                || charges it up, it'll send out three    ||
                || powerful wheels, which can bounce back ||
                || at enemies, hitting them again!        ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  WIND CUTTER || COLLECTED: CROWRANG    ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || This is just about as useless as the   ||
                || last one, unless of course, it's gets  ||
                || charged. If so, you'll do lots and lots||
                || of damage, especially in 3D (the cookie||
                || gets split in three). Still, the damage||
                || is really pretty average. It can be    ||
                || good against Gungaroo, though.         ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  EXPLOSION || COLLECTED: GUNGAROO      ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || OMG IT EXPLODES! The Explosion is quite||
                || slow, but it's a pretty strong attack. ||
                || Despite having poor range, the damage  ||
                || makes it quite worthwhile, and it also ||
                || packs a decent amount of ammo. Charge  ||
                || it up (works best in 3D) and it will   ||
                || explode in all four directions. A very ||
                || powerful attack.                       ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  GAEA SHIELD || COLLECTED: STONEKONG   ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || Of all weapons, this would have to be  ||
                || the worst. It provides a little help if||
                || you're just defending, but that's for  ||
                || wusses. The Gaea Shield does very   ||
                || little damage offensively, and is just ||
                || overall not useful unless you charge   ||
                || it. If you charge it, it hurls large   ||
                || rocks at your enemies. Nice!           ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  VOLT TORNADO || COLLECTED: TONION     ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || Like Zero's Raijinshou, Axl and X have ||
                || an awesome lightning ability: the Volt ||
                || Tornado. A minor drawback is that when ||
                || you use it, it'll first appear around  ||
                || you and then charge forward, but keep  ||
                || the enemy in one place and it'll do    ||
                || just fine. When charged, it can make   ||
                || your enemy drop items.               ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  SNIPER MISSILE || COLLECTED: ANTEATOR ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || Sniper Missile will always hold a thing||
                || or two to me because of Zero's Hieijin,||
                || a simple lifesaver while fighting Red  ||
                || and Sigma. The damage isn't as good as ||
                || Hieijin, but it passes in my book. If  ||
                || charged, three missiles will come out  ||
                || as opposed to one. Not bad!            ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  SPLASH LASER || COLLECTED: WARFLY     ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || The only drawback is the large lack of ||
                || ammo you have, other than that this is ||
                || a marvelous weapon. The damage is good,||
                || it starts out short ranged but fire it ||
                || quickly and it'll splash water all over||
                || the place. It becomes much faster and  ||
                || stronger (and bigger) if X charges it. ||
                --------------------------------------------

                --------------------------------------------
                ||  CIRCLE BLAZE || COLLECTED: HYENARD    ||
                --------------------------------------------
                || Alright, I like the big and powerful   ||
                || type, but there's a good line between  ||
                || Circle Blaze and my style. There's very||
                || little ammunition to this, although it ||
                || throws out a really strong shot. What  ||
                || it does is throw a sphere which will   ||
                || explode with a good radius. Charge it, ||
                || and it's MUCH bigger. But it's too slow||
                || and has very poor ammo, sorry.         ||
                --------------------------------------------

Megaman X7 weapons... Ill try to get pictures of them ^^ oww iI forgot! Hover ability!

[O Ilusionista]

yes, this is possible.

Let me assk you: do you want me to join you on this char? I can do the programation. One idea that I have is to make his Copy Shot (or whatever it is called) to work like Rogue skills a bit (in fact, to work like the unrelased MB-03): He copy the current char that he is facing and, if its on his database, he can morph into that char to execute a move and turn back to Axl.

[Bowasiel]

Great idea Illu like megaman X8, U copy the reploid and U obtain his abilities for a limited time ^^ ( except Lumine armor)

[KPT25]

in X8 the copy shot remains active until you ran out of energy in the level...it's not time limited like in X7
The weapons in X7(and i believe X7 as a whole) shouldn't be taken in mind,as the arsenal
His skin color is different on the sprites you posted,what color are you gonna use?the one from the stance or the one where he's holding his gun with both hands?i would totally go for the second one(unless you want a suntanned prototype reploid  )

Looking good,great job Rage!

At the end of the video,they show Axl's weapon,check other videos by the same user and you will get a glance at all of them

[Rage]

Thanks for the responses people

canibus2000

i c u yall posted a list for X7 i guess i should buy that 1 too until then. . . . . . . . .

KTP

thanx for the vid but I got X8 at home but ill used u tube for the X7 weapons i think. Thanx 4 the ideal i wouldn't have thought of this cuz i really dont use Youtube becuz of Google

what did u say about X7? Did u say dont use those weapons. I originally was going to use just X8 cuz that's wat i have at home.   

I think im going to do Axl from X8 and if i get of positive feed back Ill remix him with X7 cuz that would set off the Gunner mode

I can change the face in the stance its the only sprite with a tanned face.



O Ilusionista

Yeah man ur offer sounds good. I wanted to go over to yall site and start a topic there but keep for getting. I do have member ship there tho.  As for now im doing in betweens and trying to figure out how to draw his gun from different angles

I would love for u to program him cuz I know nothing of programing. Give me 2 weeks and ill have the basics and den if u want to jump on him

(click to show/hide)

(No Homo )

ur more then welcome just let me no when after this time frame.

also what happened wit ur Axl I thought i heard u started up again?
[/glow]

Does any one want to add finishing touches to the sprites? I need sum one to draw in the gun. I can do it but it requires thinking and I cant do that now. I got to much on my plate. If i think I mite blow up.

[O Ilusionista]

Thanx man. I accept it. I will talk with Akito Sama (who did Elecman with me and would make Axl with me) if he wants to help us with the sprites.

The copy ability can't be him transforming into a new char for a long time...that could consumes TOO MUCH SPACE and TIME. Its better to have him transform, do a move, and tranform back.

I even have the shot effect (its maxima's intro fx): when he reconizes the oponent, he will transform into him...when he isn't on his database or something goes wrong, he wont transform.

[Rage]

Sounds  good O 

[KPT25]

good implementing idea Ilu,and it's good to know you already have in mind how to put it into code 
@Rage:i was thinking of just using weapons from X8,as in X7 Axl was just an X copycat with limited hovering abilities(from what i've seen in video,i 'll stay away from X7 because of the bad gameplay and the most annoying boss ever-burn to the ground!! -)

[O Ilusionista]

Race,

me and Akito-Sama will be joining with you on this wip (he will help you with the sprites) and I will code it.

How much do you have yet?

And lets kicks some butts

Yeah KPT, X7 is the black sheep of the series, utter trash. Axl's weapons aren't even that effective on the bosses. Even with the correct weapon equipped, you run out way before the boss is dead.

[Rage]

Hey O Ilusionista  I dont think Race posted in here 

Right Now I got all the Punchs, Kick, Stance, Jump, and Block Frankinstained together. Now im turning em into Axl. Im Also working on/ redoing the Run. For the basics I need to get started on a all of the Getting hit and knock down sprites and i think thats it.

Im make a sprite sheet with what i have so far and pm 2 u 2marow or thursday. that cool

@ G Lux

Alrighty then X7 is getting X'ed 

 

[Bowasiel]

Why everybody hates X7?I like Megaman X7  It could have  been better I know but is enjoyable and I love Megaman games

The only redemming quality of X7 is the music, and even then, some parts are subpar for the course.

I've only beaten it once, and frankly that all I care to play of it. I'm just glad X8 was able to turn the series 180 from that mess.

[Bowasiel]

Hehe G-Lux I beaten it once too xD Now im beating again X8 is a Master piece!!!! and easier with Sigma Blade U know money glitch right?

[Uche_of_IMT]

I know I ma gt in trouble for necro-bumping this topic, but I have to know the status of Axl.

G Lux: Gee, ya think?

A PM works just fine too you know...

Locked.

[Rage]

Uche_of_IMT

Sorry i haven't made any announcement about Axl . . . . Well sorry to er1 thats 1drn bout him. Well dont believe the 30 persent that under my name idk the real percent. But here goes sum news:

I Havent really worked on Axl since the beganing of the year cuz of school. I put him on hold cuz i was graduating and didnt have time 4 him and the deviants.  Axl requires lots of time and editing so  . . . Deviants cum b4 Axl so he lost out and school above all things when the time came.

Now Im back on Axl as im done wit school and i need a mini break from GFX.

Right now Im going to do a massive sprite work on Axl b4 i ask O Ilusionista if him and his buddy are still aboard this train. So while i work i want to no if its any thing people think needs to be changed cuz after this i'd like to say this is the final design.  Here a sprite in case u 4 got wat version 6 looked like.

[ANGELM]

Glad to see this wip back on. very impressive sprite by the way.

[Uche_of_IMT]

He even looks better than the last time.

[Rage]

Thanx u two, im trying.

[ANGELM]

Take your time and keep up the good work.
