New Lex Luthor beta released

[Buyog]

In case y'all hadn't seen it yet. I don't visit over here very often, but I could use more eyes on this guy ==> means better/more feedback that way.





As I promised earlier in the week on my blog, here's the latest Lex Luthor update. He has all the following updates over the alpha release from last January:

- 27 Sep 2008: Beta 1b
  - fixed bug in Failsafe Emission
  - added air version of Failsafe Emission (& you can can combo into it!)
  - lots of minor bugfixes and combo tweaks throughout
  - added Special: Tyrant Drill
  - added shocked, frozen special anims

- 25 Sep 2008: Beta 1
  - tweaked Special: Stiletto Blade (it's now an expansion-type move, for one thing)
  - added Special: Electrified Armor
  - added Hyper: Failsafe Emission
  - added Hyper: Nanite Swarm
  - added fwd/back dashes
  - added new sound effects, voices, and effect sparks

All in all, he's a much more solid character than he was before: 4 specials, 2 hypers, pretty decent AI, etc. Still quite a bit more we plan to do with him before he's done, but I felt like I needed to get him out there for all y'all to start playing with. Enjoy, post any feedback/ bug reports here.

Buyog i hear u have been looking for more ideas for your lex, well u have come to the right place, i have in the past made two hyper moves for your lex and, and i want to show them to u and everybody here at IMT

First off guys i will show you,
The Krytonic Blast

This was the first move i made for Buyog's Lex, it uses the same beam as the classic shinku hadoken from the mvc ryu but instead of many hits it just one big blast
and it knocks you to the side of the screen too

I needed a projectile hyper,and this is what had came to mind.... it's one of the first hypers i have ever done for mugen too...

Now we move along to my next hyper i made for Buyog's Lex, its called
The Tyrant Finisher

Its basically where Lex charges at you with all of his might and keeps hitting u in your gut, hard as he possibly can like 4 times, and then time freezes and he laughs and then he hits you one more time, but this time its with a big uppercut that sends you flying into the air.... See why i call it The Tyrant Finisher

Now guys these moves r not in buyog's beta, only in mine, and well i am here to ask, buyog would u consider adding these moves to your characters.... I hope u will cus whatever u end up with when u get finshed with him im still gonan have those hypers added into my own personal version of your lex

If u guys want it, then tell buyog to add them in

[Excursion]

That looks terrific Race. You should go over and register at Scruffy D (if you haven't already..) and PM him this also. As for everyone else... post feedback on Lex in this thread so Buyog can fix the bugs.

Cool extra moves definitely show Buyog, I always remember Buyog saying all help is welcome.   

[Acey]

And it sounds like Buyog is looking for some strong beta testing so he can get closer to the final release. Let's make sure he's not disapointed.

[Spidermew]

Well I did find something weird.
If you back the enemy into a corner, you can use the hardpunch to launch them, and then when they fall you can time it so you can combo with the hard punch forever, it kills Wonder Woman by the 11th hit but i can personaly get it to go 40 times before axidently let her drop.

[Alexziq]

A pleasant surprise indeed, I hope to see more of you round these parts.

Lex is a tough one to be origional with since he's a master manipulator opposed to a combatant. Since his power Gauntlets are massively powerful I'd recommed using a couple of differant colored rays that have some differant P2 state effects to simulate the differant Kryptonite colored energy blasts.

i dont know if u know but theres sum1 who claims to have a mr.freeze but its a clear rip off of your lex lurther but just in black is all

did u make him open source

I personally wouldnt bring that up, and Im sure he knows about Kang Anals sloppy Mr Freeze palette swap. Open Source or not somebodys always going to edit something and trade it around. I'm sure buyog is more concerned with perfecting and creating quality characters than worry about some guy screwing around on the net.

amazingggggggg

[~Hale "R@CE" Caesar~]

Ok buyog, i just sent u the link to my edited version of your old lex with my new moves in there... I hope you like what i made, pm me when u get a chance... 

[.:K.I.N.G:.]

congrats on the release .. i like it very much
here is my beta testing report

1-his Tyrant Drill can be infinite if he hit the enemy while the enemy is in the air, i can keep repeating the move and hit the enemy every time preventing the enemy from falling.

2-if you do a forward dash then cancel it into a jump the the nitro sparks that comes from behind his foots in the forward dash is still showing while he jumps and the nitro spark that supposed to come out from his foot while jumping is not there..i think it's an explode binding thing

3-when the Kryptonite Ray hits the enemy the hit and fall timing seem a bit delayed and slow, the enemy seem like he faking being hit same goes if the enemy gets hit by it while in the air.

4-his forward dash is a bit slow for a dash

5-if you try launching the enemy using close hp then hitting him using Kryptonite Ray while the enemy is falling from being launched, the enemy will not look effected by the hit of the Kryptonite Ray..custom gethit thing i think

6-when Failsafe Emission is finished hitting the enemy while the enemy on ground it leaves the enemy in landing recovery like stat...my guess it's cus it dosen't make the enemy fall but maybe the hitdef has a y = - something in ground velocity trigger....i haven't looked btw so that's just a guess.

7-aerial rave combo is a bit hard to perfect.


i have some smee small suggestions
1-the guy is in an armor suite so maybe some hit shakes will be good for the looks
2-some metal hit and get sounds will be good too
3-maybe making the combo chaining a bit easier cus it requires to be a bit fast to press the buttons right now.

[Buyog]

Mr.47: awesome, thanks for the detailed feedback, I'll check it out later.

Oops, forgot to add juggle-checking to the launcher. Nice catch, Spidermew. 

R@ace: thanks for the offer... I responded in the release thread over at SD.

And yeah, I know about the Mr.Freeze... it was actually built on top of the totally-crappy LEAKED Lex, not even the public alpha, so yeah, I'm not too worried about him. ::

As for other-colored kryptonites... hmm...

[~Hale "R@CE" Caesar~]

Buyog i sent the character to u, over at Scruffy, but i can't see where u told mewhat u thought, all i see is that u told me to send it over

[Buyog]

R@ce: yeah, I just barely grabbed it and replied now... I'll definitely take a look at it tonight.
