Been some time since I've shown anything about my WIPs. Well, I'm ready to reveal to the public my next WIP, which is none other than Leo from Red Earth!
Expect the same treatment for Leo that my other FM characters have. Here's a vid that shows a 95% done Leo in action, as well as some various screenshots:

WHAT'S DONE?!?
-All basics and gethits
-All moves from Red Earth, as well as some additions from Capcom Fighting Evolution
-New moves
-AI
WHAT'S LEFT?!?
-Some missing FX
-Sword slash FX (already ripped & in the sff)
-Few more Intros and Win Poses
-Palettes
-Further testing and tweaks
As mentioned above, Leo's gameplay will be very similar to his Red Earth gameplay. However, I added some extra options to sorta flesh out his otherwise simplistic fighting style, such as making Chronos Rush and Achilles Rush be variable in terms of how you end it (a feature borrowed from CFE). Also, in replacement of his weapon system from Red Earth, I've implemented an elemental system called "Mystic Pulse". Like the weapon system, Mystic Pulse will grant Leo some elemental enhancements that increase certain attributes (i.e. offense, speed) while giving some extra abilities without drastically changing his overall gameplay. There will also be weaknesses with each elemental style to maintain balanced gameplay. For those who are not interested in the new stuff, or would like to change how certain moves or systems work, can do so in the configuration file.
Leo's release date will be this Fall once everything's in order. Like with Mai-Ling, I will be taking my time to make sure everything is done right with Leo so I can get him out the door and to your mugen in 100% status. Stay tuned!

@R@ce: thanks as always. Was gonna say I don't see you on that much, but I guess it's because of the name change.

Here's some recent updates, as well as an intro to some of the new stuff being added to Leo (as well as my other FM chars).
Sword Slash FX is in for Chronos Rush, Achillies Rush, Mars Slash, and Hercules Rush.
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b8190e39d49429470a24390911113f444g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/82b0851eb08553ff349e5e1081c95e134g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/33a0397dfa798d02f5c955e6d6bbd82f4g.jpg)
All old moves are in, and most should be familiar with them. The new moves, on the other hand, are what I want to focus on for today. Here's a small breakdown on what to expect on some of them.
SWIFT TUMBLER
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/0573b3a781df972062398c11df79a85b4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/87af15cbd76b0c5c4f7b6bd1a366a84d4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/41cb45134e1201dc16117b07d235d7d54g.jpg)
This is a counter move with Leo's shield. It will receive one hit, which will then make him run forward a short distance for a grapple. Depending on the button strength, the throw executed on the successive grab will be different.
(Note that Leo puts his sword away for this, and will draw his sword out again once this move or the throw sequences are over.)
LP Version
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/0ca8077acbf51d69c6d9a634edc31fa34g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/9bc95c109993314b691a8984daab37bf4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b726cd9948783966cc92d41c7a4ea8eb4g.jpg)
MP Version
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/7d55a76a0e9a95dfae0554d18036d3874g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/6aea0f30de5ff9d76a04a795f35cdbff4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/42ec0cfa73f4d70abeae702686ffa16c4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/d691a1230aab45526e6f1aeb8b78772b4g.jpg)
HP Version
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/af3ab9aeff64719fb04646117d5ca5b04g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/325d44c066163e51a6c4d7e1b3079f934g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/e1e2ff10ee7e5757bd6305c3b735fbd04g.jpg)
ODYSSEUS ARC
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1165875329cd552cd11fa8e7441c4a9d4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/dbc2ac82c49a0ad10587bb67a3e163d34g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/56c57fd2fb3c9e3f9fd171025dcc139e4g.jpg)
CFJ has some sprites of Leo somersaulting through the air, and landing to deliver an overhead slash. Well, I took those sprites from Wuwo's spritepack 8free for public use), edited them to have the Legendary Sword and different shield), and made it into a new move for my Leo. This move is suitable for leaping over attacks and dropping down with an attack of your own, whether a high strike or a low strike. Not the fastest move in Leo's aresnal, it'll be more suitable as a counter against long-range attacks or upclose on those who like to poke with low attacks.
Next time I'll discuss about Mystic Pulse, since it's a new system on its own.
Other things to mention are some new system features that are reproduced from Red Earth/Warzard:
DIZZY SYSTEM
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/9e9deb6191581914fc54930f527288194g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/62218e0ee8ed0a34e34123017c44f1914g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/9ec86e2ff3f57a9b3498941a2fe039b54g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/ef703fd83d8e799b0c1461024c1925ad4g.jpg)
The Dizzy system has beem implemented. It is based on a counter that tallies up the number of hits Leo receives during a match and, once a specific number has been reached, will cause Leo to fall down and go into a dizzy state, leaving him open to attacks.
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b4941bfe87e0f9cd3642e28aef400ea34g.jpg)
The system has been implemented into my other characters as well, and will be universal for all FM characters.
ROLL KNOCKBACK
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/177ec27d93eb5e0808bc4652b70ba16c4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/68e6ea5772a7366443a936feb4d0af9b4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/99b8354c94b54048d7c07d2846c816784g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/c1b1968914b91f49c2c02f040856d7af4g.jpg)
This is a new gethit state taken from the source game. When hit by certain moves, Leo will fall back into a special knockback state, then roll backwards before coming to a complete stope. While nothing too fancy, the recoverytime from this is slow, giving the other player the chance to followup with another attack (i.e. Pursuit Attack) or set up for something else. Currently implemented in my characters, this feature can only be interacted between my characters for the moment.
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more on Leo's development :)

And are you gonna fix that sound problem?
Post by: Sabaki on October 04, 2010, 02:16:32 AM
How much progress for Leo is so far?Not much left. Just adding in some more FX to Leo's sword, doing a couple of tweaks here & there, get the palettes in, and write the readme. Despite all that, don't expect him too soon, for I'm also dividing my time on another WIP for my project. As for sound issues...if you're referring to what was discussed at MI, yes, it's resolved imo. I spent some time playing Warzard recently, and studied which sounds go where, as well as ripped the ones I missed.
And are you gonna fix that sound problem?
All will be seen in the next vid I upload.

Here's a peak at Leo's Mystic Breaks, along with a small explanation about his newest feature called Mystic Pulse.
MYSTIC BREAKS
HERCULES RUSH (HIGH)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/124fe17efa110e53cfd08082d1b91630932c837490346daee5e2d991e7bf97594g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/e468a2538ae0c3900dd9f629f668fc037e066aecd591e2aac965782b0ec7b2554g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/cf476b68cf001cc1b2567c064ec43b2051cb44153b6038d1d8baccd8c4143f704g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/aa11c01f54eb4c230662156f238cfc3e3eca89b521c9cd77b404f37c34694d4e4g.jpg)
This is the same as in Red Earth. Will have 3 levels, with more hits dealt the higher the level.
HERCULES RUSH (LOW)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/2931a16df2d03dfa78cdb3b17c3414a18fcf42962067c73c7e76468176d994354g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a6f2ded8ac95d3d1e5b23ffd3d58753e3a183d83f9fcbcdfa574960880d2e3fc4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/fe43aa55331ab35fdc8871d5ec0d313d2818d607b43f347e7bd03aea3eccad124g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/80033567d2764a25d21c0dec8ad96dbbd733585b0ad2e1d55863ce02b947faf24g.jpg)
A variant of the original version, except that it hits low. This'll compliment Hercules Rush (High) well, for your opponent will have to guess if they need to block low or not. Has 3 levels as well, with each dealing more hits based on the level.
GIGAS DRIVER
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/fb9b969e478874c1dc38c36ddf9de43247d60641bdaebfe9b90b1558d5608b6e4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/d7b42c3c04c6a58dc96cfbf5342136989583508528c6f32dbfde790384eef4f74g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1dc59aa4ecfd62aaac349dd87e0ee491fa19dcfce02e20bb4bd013a5cdc8b2a34g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/4bc0e6c749d403c1421965eacb2979a9a0a8c302e0d26fd0cb9df1295c6ec6b54g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a53be54a0611532165b07d334b81c39b3290f622e0f4a45650bbf6dbdd504c3f4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/b913b0f58e5670c10dc282c628e52d098329d53c4422344377d53834ef9e78234g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a34b0e112ed12ad3d6379bb3e81d0c8749610f49d73f6754776ef06570fd43d24g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/071916bb92356e93bb46158bf0d2f0bef8e8c382f2bc8ef401a711aebbae1e924g.jpg)
Same as in Red Earth, a triple slam throw. Made it a lvl 2, but it deals really good damage, so it's worth doing.
KING OF BEASTS
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/5194178bec6e8fd06c9e62dfc5350c122203d4081be76b94cb61b4a32b954b0a4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/ec55ce532bbe18511aed9adfe2f717aa8d84a83faf6009070940d4e2cd24f14e4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/8f46e5a3734a59598ee92ffccd146463c8d086c29de0c93145aa25e97ac55e2d4g.jpg)
King of Beasts (KOB for short) is a new Mystic Break, but not your conventional one.A boost-type MB, instead of the usual type of boosts like speed up or power up, KOB improves Leo's basic moves' priority, while either giving his other special moves and Mystic Breaks either a "finisher" or changing it completely. KOB's effectiveness is heavily based on how good the player is. Here's an example, where Chronos Rush "finishes" off a downed opponent with an extra hit (note that the term "finisher" doesn't equal instant-kill)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1b4f288676e8cc298b5511f3a99a0a200aac16a260909dd6624123c8146749bb4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/33cce614c72169e453378591292888cfcb48860431de177918afb75aa8682d734g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a36d211ce8d78d121bb165480258c000d50b75eb090a6ee745760bcc4ac6cdee4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/2c2bf13add47afcd46903e0856c1bc676b4c50f02ecd49a21ee76f90355251f34g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/e1d6966226800d2356c54c4c557df28e872f0a4fa4e7d246217ca7738edb49ad4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/442dbb6b0bbc8ce780b53a3c5d830d0fcbc3ab887655dc7ea4e41c3f901f59414g.jpg)
MYSTIC PULSE
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/ebaf2f938cb66bdb85ee5c656b3fad6e3df97d3f36b617d34f50699445c9d2f24g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/201081f3af7525d797143f563e20fe5cee2b8c864e7d7d999d454a11e8809c094g.jpg)
Mystic Pulse is a new elemental-based system that will grant Leo some changes in his stats, certain enhancements to his gameplay, etc. There are 4 types of pulses, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Here's a sample of each of the 4 pulses, each with their name and an example of their enhancements.
SOLID PULSE (EARTH)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/18ce154dc3ac63799cf8a53e37fbf5a8785a8397c22c85f665074b636322b9694g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/931003cee646538a520fd08619f00e43eef377caaf18bf07da813618dad793e94g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/732d5ea89dab3e1be90505bd77b131b4c69504327c68f856796a96546fec600d4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/336304e466522cb25437bf26bce0a5750fd82cd11b5c44dc3fe650baabccbc244g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/dedda1bdc602e93e3173029b1138949b0be32ffc77a01eceb992c21f741f5b164g.jpg)
BLAZE PULSE (FIRE)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/0760fccab09fcefde76421412f978867e9eab0e05b68643ad97fda681c059f704g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/96dd0e4f0556cfab2a667131857de9746312beb15ae5c6d02e38ca81bd7851464g.jpg)
FRIGID PULSE (ICE)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/f6451bda9e7f19497e425121af5b27e9985804f0ceebf52e6d9aead278527f0a4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/a3b26f37d68b812768a777a870c40bbcd7e6250c1900dc51df7a474f091c6e3a4g.jpg)
SHOCK PULSE (LIGHTNING)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/550e42eb9f570afc8fdbe3580ce28d9b21b2f531a4ee6dff00dfcc54533b30214g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/8027e2cf37ccd1f2de9ef1221f61be256adee17c0a862e8c3ec8e90b56a46ae34g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/ed6013036ab5d05f285ae6642965f8482abedb1d1f97d9a45b05597032606ffa4g.jpg)
Leo's move set remains the same whenever using any of the pulses. The only thing he will gain is a new Mystic Break that is pulse-specific, which will in turn replace King of Beasts.
Also, most moves will gain a form of elemental damage. Below is an example where Gaia Driver will do elemental damage accordingly based on which pulse Leo's activated (except for Solid Pulse).
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/8a45681f7797cb34f0dd3c41a499ff1bf51fb9918b9d96cbad580c5a4a9352364g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/58b788221e070b7b5b2cb198021ae8da6e6f39c5c1edd9d00656f945b3d3f0144g.jpg)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/51fd87bc6339a95b1516cf0c77759bf4dc94d3b3780b159d573fc2f66c33abad4g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/af905efb77e2bef8ffd09d81ed72c5e52ea70344dd401de6699bab758a8e802c4g.jpg)
(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/e9a7c160d1704c8db4436c0cffabefcf599d0be20436d3903dd5faa11025f6f04g.jpg)(http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/20ce7c0b94b34b27f88fd33c63fa075d345fa8b0b4d91c8f0e0c7aeaeccd376d4g.jpg)
Note that while Mystic Pulse grants certain bonuses, Leo is still stronger when not using it both power-wise and defense-wise. Despite that, Mystic Pulse grants certain enhancements that my help Leo handle certain tryicky situations. More in-dept description in the Moveslist when released.
That's if for now. Leo's done, so expect a release in the next upcoming weeks. Aslo wanna give a huge thanks to Nestor for taking the time to help fix certain sprite issues I was having. Without his help, a public release probably wouldn't be possible :)
