Rurouni Kenshin: Soul And Sword Game Project

Oh I gotcha. Yes flame effects will be implemented. The effects are not in alpha state right now since the new sprites are not done yet. But it will be there.

As for the input-reading code, I think it might be possible but not practical. If I code it that way, then the observe move will not work against AI opponents since they dont use commands like human players. The best way to trigger this move is using state numbers and opponent names.

Why opponent names?
If I remember correctly, then Warusaki's Black Polnareff (J.P.Polnareff posessed by the Anubis Sword) has got a similar special move, where he first do a counter special, and if that counter special connects, then B.Polnareff actually REMEMBERS that move, and then can automaitcally counter the same move by just pressing an attack button during his guard state.
Or maybe I've just understood you wrong...

Interesting... I definitely have to check that character's coding to see if there is a more efficient way. Thanks for the heads up!

Here is another look at the alpha version of Shishio Makoto. Sprites are still being remade as we speak.

Great news to all Jinei fans!  A fan by the name of Karasu Arejandro wanted to contribute to the project and so now I found a great spriter for Jinei.  Here is a sample.



At the moment, he is working on basic sprites like idle, movement, and get-hits.  There is no time line as of now since I am still busy with Shinsen Saito and Shishio.  Although, there is a chance that I will work on Jinei before Misao in the future. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hey all, I know it's been awhile since my last update. Now that I'm back here are a couple of gameplay videos for Shishio beta version. 





The 2nd video shows his "Observe & Learn" special. Like in the manga, he can learn any opponent's attacks and if successful, he can easily counter them during guard states.  A maximum of 5 moves can be "learned".  This move is similar to Black Polnareff's Anubis Memory move in Jojo's Bizarre Adv game.

Here is the latest update video on Shishio Makoto:



What's left?
- 2 more basic attacks
- 8 levels of AI
- "Limit Break" Mode/ Boss Mode
- Sprite refining

Check out the latest Udo Jinei Alpha preview! At the moment, he has 5 normal attacks, his backpass attack (featured in his epic fight against Kenshin), his Shin No Ippo variations, and all his hurt animations. Enjoy!

Note that he has 3 variations of the Shin No Ippo special.

• Weak version drains opponent's kenki,
• medium drains power (if opponent has lower kenki), and
• heavy freezes the opponent (if opponent has lower kenki).

Next on the list are the rest of his normal attacks, specials, and his Shin No Ippo hyper (which will drain opponents health over time).
