I'm here to post some progress of my Birdy, that poor X-men Vs SF helper.
I'm working on Birdy slowly, but still working since the begin of this year. She will be a funny character to play. I mean.. she will not be an regular character, she will do lots of jokes. I'm took some inspiration from some old movies like "TopGun" and "Police Academy" series. Don't expect an Emma Frost/Wonder Woman/Psylocke like character, I have enoght of "serious" wips. Hmm, I think I can be more clear: She'll be to Emma who Dan is for Ryu. :P
She'll use her "mini" psychic powers, to cast some ilusions and do her things, but with no much sucessfuly... :P
Oh, and don't expect a Sabrethoot helper, cause I hate cliches, or not... :P
I'm spriting it with some Xfields' help. O Ilusionista will code her who will be on MvsC: EOH.
Here is some shots:

She looks very well put togther from the screenshots. I could only imagine the limitation of sprites aviliable to put her togther. Your sprite work is amazing, so I can only imagine whats actually in store behind the screenies. Much luck to you and Ilu both.

@.Batzarro.: Thanks! To be honest a lot of sprites looks odd now, I'll fix them before release her.
@G Lux: Nothing with Alex's Birdy. This is my one. :P

As far as I know, Eclipse is editing almost every sprites from various bases. His original sprites are just for reference.
I just need to finish to freelance works...and I will back to my mugen works :)

i dont think that is a good idea, there are quite a few birdy sprites that capcom did, so i think they should be used in the character. for example, arthur, thor, lou all have used the original capcom sprites in the character. And birdie has more sprites than any of them.
although i do like what i see so far :thumbsup:

>:-(-| i think it should have been the team wip rather than or aswell as batman, at least then she could have gone in the eoh. plus i would have helped on jubilee, but as for batman, just not a fan of dc, batman and robin are pretty cool, but IMO they don't hold a candle to marvel and capcom characters.

I think you've misunderstood me. He is using the firing weapon sprites, if this is your doubt :) But she doesn't have THAT number of sprites by Capcom, its just few sprites (I think that is less than 10).

nothing. He just want to try a joke char, to make something different :) Because he is editing a lot of people, like Black Cat, Catwoman, Emma Frost, etc

Soon we will open other wip topics here.

And good luck on Birdy! She looks really great. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this character. :w00t:
Post by: Theendgamelv3 on June 23, 2008, 10:33:09 PM
Omygosh she looks to be promising!! :w00t:Why don't you help the WIP Jubilee that is being made? I mean if you want that one to be good, play with it and provide feedback to the one being made. It isn't like the guy stopped working on her......I think. Again as stated in another thread it is a WIP by one guy. I mean it isn't fair to try to have these creators to live up to those standards, especially when it is the guys first character.
*sighs* If only we had someone to turn Jubilee into a character as good as Arthur and Thor
Wow another Birdy character. Hopefully both Birdies will be awsome.

Post by: Error Macro on June 26, 2008, 07:29:04 AM
Anyway I think a funny intro could be something like this:
Sabretooth stands there for a couple of seconds then yells "Birdy!" then when Birdy comes out, instead of shooting the enemy, she instead shoots Sabretooth and he gets shot off screen.

Sgt Hartsock, celobateira: She crashed her car. She left the car while she was driving, so it caused the car crash. She's not that strong.... :P
Berkay: Just a pc-mouse.
THanks for the support, guys! Hope I can post more progress soon.

The portrait is gorgeous, too. It looks like it came right out of Marvel Vs. Capcom 1!
What will the next helper char be after this one? Saki Omokane sorely needs to be playable, given her recent appearance in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

i don't think she did, she may have had a small cameo in it somewhere but i am sure she never had a speaking role in it.

Go figure. No wonder I never heard of her.
Even if Eclipse isn't around to read this post, I will still say that the work done on this char is remarkable. Especially the portrait.
I'm also fond of the intro idea. If Birdy has indeed crashed her car, Sabretooth won't be happy...;*))

eclipse you are still one of my favorite spriters :w00t:

Hear hear! =D> I would love it if Saki Omokane would be next.
Though, I have to wonder...Since Birdy has apparently no voice samples to speak of (except the one she has during her assist for Sabretooth), who will be her voice actress?
