Since long time, I wanted to remake Elec Man, which was released 10 years ago (yeah, time really goes fast).

At the time, it was made for the EOH project, then it was for the "Rock Man Arena" project * and is now moving to the Robot Master Mayhem project. There were a lot of things in the original version that I didn't like, like the black-only chest shadow, Mega Man's arms, among other things.

Laspacho has offered to change all his sprites and, with the help of more people (Rage and others), this new version will be possible. Many moves will be modified (Rage created several new animations) and included the Power Sets.

A quick comparsion between the new (left) and the old (right) version of Elec Man sprites

There are still things I would like to improve on his sprites, such as adding another tone to his chest, but due to the short time (we are one month from launch), this is for next year's update.

I have several ideas in mind for him, but if anyone wants to suggest something to his Power Sets, feel free to contribute.

* The "Rock Man Arena" project is currently ready to be launched. The author just asked me to take a look at it, which should only be done in 2020.

I'm very happy I got a chance revisit and redo Elecman's sprites too. I'm also happy with what the sprites look like now.
I remember making Elecman's sprites the first time right after I completed Metalman and was just starting to sprite Crashman.
10 years went by quick.

It was a definite challenge to update and change all of those sprites. With everything done to these sprites this really is a new character here. Yes the color separated chest only has two colors. Adding a third color would definitely make the chest pop a little more. It's definitely something that can be done in the future. I also color separated the lightning bolt on his chest to give some more pallet options.

I know a made a few new animations that the original Elecman did not have. Hopefully that can help with some power sets and moves.

THUNDER BOLT! Elec Man is 75% ready to kick your butt

laspacho · « **Reply #3 on:** January 16, 2020, 12:48:38 AM »

Electrifying!
I've been dying to see those new Elecman sprites in action for years.

LoKoLoKo · « **Reply #4 on:** January 16, 2020, 07:11:05 AM »

Yes! New images ... New moves ... 15 days left ... countdown!

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #5 on:** January 18, 2020, 01:39:12 PM »

Here is a very cool stuff I cannot wait to share with you: Elec Man now has a new striker - Fuse Man, edited by Gate

He replaces Magnetic Man.

HyperVoiceActing · « **Reply #6 on:** January 18, 2020, 02:35:42 PM »

Ooh, that's a very awesome Fuse Man sprite~

Did we decide if we wanted any of the MM11 Robot Masters as a playable character?

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #7 on:** January 18, 2020, 02:37:53 PM »

Not yet.
Gate had made many MM11 edits plus some others, take a look

I've added some quotes to Elec Man. Feel free to correct them or to suggest new ones:

Quote

[Quotes]
victory1 = "I win, naturally."
victory2 = "Well done... but you say good bye here."
victory3 = "That was a good en-lightning shock therapy."
victory4 = "I find it hard to believe that such a low-voltage robot like you can defeat me."
victory5 = "My thunder laser is long and powerful."

laspacho · « **Reply #9 on:** January 18, 2020, 11:29:55 PM »

The victory quotes look good to me.
I like Gate's MM1 edits. Acid man looks really nice. I wouldn't mind seeing a MM11 character in Rmm. To new for me to make though.

Indeed it is. I like Bounce Man too

Bounce man is excellent too.

You Sux Man

Just Kidding but i was about to write a post about how I just finished giving every character 10 quote and now i see this

No as said just kidding. ill max Elect out at 10 and post them later tonite. Also Nice work on Elect Man thus far. Cheers good sir

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #13 on:** January 19, 2020, 01:02:37 AM »

Go ahead

Just remember each quote must be between...quotes, "like this"

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #14 on:** January 22, 2020, 09:22:09 AM »

One of Elec Man's power sets: Static Trap.

Each button makes the electric ball appear further away. It is still for 1 and a half seconds after it disappears (Elec Man can walk while it is still on the screen), does not cause much damage but causes paralysis for 1 second if it hits.

Magma MK-II · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2020, 12:53:24 PM »

Like Orochi Shermie?

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2020, 02:00:54 PM »

Yes, but he can walks while the effect will remain on the screen for a short time.

Wow almost there, only 1 power set to go!
I'm very much enjoying seeing everything come to life.
Especially after working on him the first time around and then again for this re make.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2020, 05:43:14 PM »

Me too. He will be ready for testing until the weekend

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #20 on:** January 23, 2020, 10:08:20 PM »

Finally, the preview of Elec Man's power sets for the Robot Master Mayhem project.

He is very close to be complete and unless something bad happens, we will release the next version, finally, in January 30th.

HyperVoiceActing · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2020, 11:28:13 PM »

He's looking awesome so far, Ilu. I like the moves you came up for him

laspacho · « **Reply #22 on:** January 24, 2020, 12:22:30 AM »

Most excellent.

Lol, poor Rush.

I am working on his hypers and I should finish him tonight

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2020, 01:22:08 AM »

One more completed character: Elec Man
This video shows an AI versus battle, at HARD 7 level.

laspacho · « **Reply #26 on:** January 25, 2020, 01:38:43 AM »

Excellent!

LoKoLoKo · « **Reply #27 on:** January 25, 2020, 07:35:43 AM »

A very aggressive A.I. Fantastic! New batteries for Elecman!

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #28 on:** January 26, 2020, 01:14:27 AM »

Thanks. Elec Man has a scalable AI, so the higher you set the game difficult, the harder he will be.

Some AI (level

fights, plus showing:
- Custom intro against Guts Man and Wily
- New Hyper move

laspacho · « **Reply #29 on:** January 26, 2020, 01:41:57 AM »

That new hyper is excellent.

Wow is all i have.

ExeLord · « **Reply #31 on:** January 27, 2020, 02:04:06 AM »

He looks really energetic

that's finally a proper ElecMan for RMM, hope he'll be well received

As for personal thoughts I can only be happy of what I see

Jelux Da Casual · « **Reply #32 on:** January 27, 2020, 10:57:48 AM »

He still doesn't come in on screen fast enough after landing air HK knockdown that knocks player out of focus.

I have question with Standing HK's hit box. the animations for it gives the impression that the box is bigger than it actually is. For instance, a standing combo of LP, LK, MP, HK LOOKS like it should all connect, but it doesn't.

This is beacuse I don't use pixel based collision boxes, but motion based collision boxes - and that is for years.
In fact, it could be even bigger.

To be honest, this should happens at all because almost every character doesn't have it (I think only some chars coded by AJ has it).

Well, when it happens, Elec Man is left wide open to get attacked because there's no control until he's there. I don't know what to tell you other than it's a thing that happens.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #35 on:** January 27, 2020, 12:46:34 PM »

I already fixed that

I'm absolutely in love with the effects you've been giving your characters, O. It definitely gives them more liveliness, as well as the new spritework looking so much more polished. Awesome stuff.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #37 on:** January 27, 2020, 08:14:14 PM »

Thanks buddy. I think the new effects really brings the project to a new level.
And thanks you and Rage for helping Laspacho with the new sprites

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #38 on:** December 06, 2020, 10:56:36 AM »

Added some Electric based Robot Masters to one of Elec Man's win pose

They are random and won't repeat

Not sure if appropriate, but you could play with meta/4th wall using a fake low battery alert, as if the device running the game needs to be charged and have Elec Man energize it. Alternatively, a low battery alert could also be used in his dizzy state.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #44 on:** December 09, 2020, 10:31:51 PM »

Nah dude it's working fine, Elec man's just has some balancing issues on these two moves...

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #46 on:** December 10, 2020, 08:53:35 AM »

@Mistah Jorge won't be better if you say which balancing issues he has, since you mentioned them?
