Title: Wood Man Updates (RMM)
Post by: O Ilusionista on December 04, 2019, 11:46:22 AM: I am working on some updates for Wood Man and I never liked how Leaf Shield works on him (and on Mega Man too), so I have some questions:

1- Should Leaf Shield cause touch damage? or only when thrown?
2- Once the leaf touches, should it be destroyed? or can cause multiple hits?
3- Leaves should shield the character only from projectiles and not from any other type of move, right?

It is very good to optimize the Leaf Shield as a protective shield against all attacks and damage to the touch with the leaves causing multiple hits destroying only those who receive contact. But I think a new Leaf Shield could only be triggered if all the leaves were used, otherwise it would be very powerful.

Hm... i don't think it should, only when thrown.
Maybe multiple hits, like, the 8 leafs.
Maybe, or maybe not... after all if you want to shield it only from projectiles, make it shield at least a few hits.
Other wise i think it's okay as it is now.

It already works that way - you can't call a new leaf shield if the old one is on the screen. There is an invisible helper which controls all the leaves (they are a single image for now, but I will change it to 8 separated entities) and the leaves are bound to it.

If it will cause touch, I think each leaf shoud cause 1 hit and get destroyed after that, because there are 8 leaves

And I think they should nullify (get hit) only by projectile-type attacks - like a hadouken - but from special attacks - like a shoryuken. Makes sense?

Right now, its not a...shield, lol. It doesn't shield you from anything.

Post by: Mistah Jorge on December 04, 2019, 02:50:55 PM: Ah ok, i get it... then why don't you just improve woodman's leaf shield and copy it to mega man, with wood man, you're halfway done already... i guess?

Post by: LoKoLoKo on December 04, 2019, 04:16:24 PM: It seems pretty cool to individualize the leaves, and you say it has an effect against special non-projectile attacks ... that sounds like a good idea. And when we launch Leaf Shield it will perform several small hits ... well ... it is much more effective.
