Questions and Suggestions

[FeLo_Llop]

Yep, as Beximus said:

I'm sorry, but i already hired Felo Llop to draw Amaterasu for me months ago.

I'm finishing the basic stuff(jump, walk, stand, etc), but I'll be posting stuff when I get more things done or in a better state. By the moment,I'll be posting SKETCHY things such as:
Let's run!!


Because I don't want leaked betas popping here and there as happened with CvSNB's Asuka...since Bex hired me, I want him to be the FIRST to have Amy.

I'm going to redraw her walk anim, since it looks a bit jumpy.

Have a nice day!!


EDIT: Of course I'm going to fix that wing in her paw, since it goes uuuuuup and dooooown so savagely D: !!

[O Ilusionista]

I guess I'll start a W.I.P topic for my sprite progress then.


Resident Evil 1 Chris will be joining the roster....sometime in the future. I literally just started spriting his stance and crouching anims, like right now. He most likely will not be part of the launch roster and will be probably added in a future update to the game. He will play differently than UMVC3 Chris

A little too "thin", but I liked it

I'm in the process of revamping his current sprites I have finished to make him look A LOT better. Ask Bex, he knows whats up I'm just recovering from a flu so I haven't been able to sprite in a few days.

and also bex I just noticed since cvs sprite characters in general use a different resolution compared to most other capcom fighting games (sfa, mvc, sf3, jojo, darkstalkers, etc). this gives them a disadvantage because their reach is comparatively less, because his sprites aren't as wide. i would suggest resizing the cvs characters to CPS2/CPS3 ratio to makeup for it. Durcelleuar did it with his kyosuke and it actually doesn't look bad at all, in fact it looks a bit better in my opinion.

[Beximus]

I just tried it out on tiffany, ingrid, and chun li. 

It didnt look so bad.  I may end up doing this for characters that have a 4:3 ratio.

in the era prior to mugen 1.0 altering the ratio of a character would result in extremely ugly deformations.  which is why i was always against it.  Scaling seems to be handled a lot better now in mugen.

Ingrid benefited the most from it.

[manluis]

im curious to see the results 

[Beximus]

Chun li looks great


Ingrid also looks good


the changes are subtle but really help them blend in better.  so im going to be doing this for other 4:3 characters from now on.

[manluis]

ingrid benefits the most because her normals range is SMALL as heck. now she stands a chance.
see? blends better right?

[Beximus]

yes, this also makes her a bigger target too.

[manluis]

she's roughly as big as karin or bulleta, so it's not that big of an issue.

[Beximus]

it's a worthy trade off.

she was so skinny that she would sometimes go through a character.

[manluis]

I just realized the range thing was why capcom resized the re-used sprites in CvS2 (even though it ended up looking crappy, it atleast made the roster balanced)

[imperador]

looking this screenshots. I noticed you removed the screenshots from the first page of "News and Updates". Will be nice if you put at least some shots from the new fighters with the lifebar portrait fixed[like Ibuki and some new chars like Devilotte], the select screen and the VS Screen[and after are completed, the new stages].

Also, I don't know if you will make this happen but will be nice if you put the "No Mercy" feature. Pressing start after the KO and continuing to hit the enemy even after the ko.

Since you are going to put a custom VS screen ''on-fight'', you can morph the default VS screen to a Ladder Screen[Stage 1, Stage 2, etcetera]


Sorry If I'm doing much suggestions, is inspirating xD

EDIT: The portraits on lifebars are darkened. Are you planning to animate then? [Like for example: Chun-Li on 1st place and playable Medusa on 2nd. When you tag your chars, the portrait change positions]

the no-mercy feature would be very buggy.
i think the portrait will darken when the character has been ko'ed.
he probably won't do the ladder thing.
and finally, he'll update the screenshots once he has progressed far enough.

Now that's better. That is what I meant when I asked for adjustments.

[Uche_of_IMT]

I have a suggestion: Please put a FAQ topic. I would do it, but I am not a Team Member.

[Beximus]

Good idea.  there are indeed some questions ive had to answer more than once .  and it would be a better place to list the features the characters etc.

[imperador]

It's probably no one asked this but..

Do you considering put a special effects shared with stages, alongside with the breakable floors on Forgotten Sanctuary?

I mean, like on Marvel Super Heroes VS SF, when the floor are water, and the character is dashing, you are planning to put a water reaction on floor? Since the only water based stage I know I will see on game is Lethean Stream[I don't know about Paradise Dome, If will be a Shopping or a Beach based, so...].

Another question is... The damage of Hugo's "Megaton Press" is really so big, like I see on demo? Is pratically the same damage from a level 3 hyper combo [and I suggest to put the Level 3 hyper names on chars movelist like: "Patriot Sweeper" for Rolento, "W Impact" for Yang LVL3 and some others who are missing one level 3 commands on movelist]

[Beximus]

Yes i'm considering more stage specific special effects.  Aside from the crashing against the floor.  Lethean stream will be on a boat so it will require splash effects.  Paradise dome will be on sand.

Hugo does a lot of damage and is very dangerous for weaker characters like strider and ingrid.  He's very big and slow with a lot of recovery time on moves.  His Damage may seem extreme but he needs it.

[Leozinhox]

Beximus , devilotte will not be in the demo 3 ?

[Firelord Kursan]

@Lenzinhox
Oh my god... Are you even paying attention? Devilotte will be in demo 3.

[manluis]

you don't need to be rude about it kano.

@lezinhox, yes she will be in demo 3

[Leozinhox]

 @manluis thank you for answering me

Hey bex I got a suggestion. for the character select screen you should use the rest of this song rather than that one part:

I agree.

I think I suggested also to use a new HQ version of for the "Valley of Bliss".

Some songs of some stages [Like Underworld, and Exodus Train] need some remaster in audio. I can make a remaster of those songs if you want

I can make a longer edit of it but i'd still want to leave out the vocals.  I originally made the loop kind of short like most arcade games did.  Sometimes people will chill at the select screen though so it might not hurt to make a longer edit.

I agree.

I'd like to hear a sample of your remaster.
