Classic VS : (Discussion)

ELECTRO said:
Working on Chun Li as the next character in the game but it's going to take a minute to finish her. In the meantime I'm working on some much needed updates to older characters. First up is Zangief who is getting some new moves and sprites to go along with the quality of life changes. Here are some new sprites/smart palette for his Medieval Times hyper move.

Liking his new period-accurate costume for his Medieval Times move, and it seems he'll stand up after impaling the foe, still holding his blade. As one of your oldest characters, he needed new moves a lot.
 
Early preview of Chun-Li. She has 3 hypers which are :

Kikou Shou - The ball of energy Super Art from Street Fighter 3.

Lighting Bird Kicks - An Ultra from Street Fighter 4.

Flock of Birds - Air hyper where she spins and birds fly by to attack.

Here's the reveal of Julius Carn the last character to be in the new update for the Classic VS game. Once I'm done releasing both J. Carn and Chun-Li for regular Mugen, I'll then be ready to update Classic VS game and get it released. Both characters are almost finished so not to much longer.

Showing off Interpol Mode for Chun-Li. In this mode she shoots a gun stead of a fireball & has a different air hyper where she jumps around the map. I also added a new throw attack which does random things. Right now she just crawls on the opponent & beats on them with her spiked bracelets. I'll be expanding this attack before release. Also the new throw move can be used in both modes. I'm planning on releasing Chun-Li on 7/8/2022.

Here are previews of 2 new interactive stages being included into the next update. I thought that these would be a fun addition to the game.

#1 Remote Rescue : The breakable mask's function just like the signs on Ryu's stage, meaning that when you pass by them in a get hit state there is a random chance they might break.

#2 Death Match : Touching the fire ropes will deal 70 damage. You can not block the ropes. The ropes are on a cooldown timer of 300 ticks once they have hit somebody. I did this because if they stay on all the time it could lead to an infinite corner trap.

@ELECTRO As I always say ! masterpieces !! Awesome work!
This kind of interaction would really make me hesitate to switch my main project to Mugen instead of Openbor.
Also, very glad with your late work in Ultimate characters!

Reminds me of the exclusive attack she has in Street Fighter: The Movie, you know the digitized actors Arcade title.

It was one of my suggestions to Electro for This Chun-Li when she was WIP ^^
 
The next character coming to the game is Dee Jay. I've had some request for him through the years and now it's time to bring him to life. This preview is very early & some of the animations/FX are place holders. So far Dee Jay has 2 hypers which are based on SF4 moves, but more hypers/specials are planned.

Decided it would be a good idea to add a music themed hyper attack. The concept is, do a throw, then after you catch the throw you can choose between playing the steel drums, maracas or break dance. So far all I've coded was the steel drum option. When you choose the steel drum option each button press plays a different note. There is a timer that ticks down and you can play as many notes as fast as you want before the time runs out. The other hyper attacks are in the video as well since you couldn't get a good look at them in the last video.

Final preview of Dee Jay. He should be ready for release before the end of the month. In this video I'm showing off my ideas for Dee Jay's ariel combat as well as a new throw that has good combo potential. The new ariel hyper is called Hammer Time and will rapid punch and send the opponent into the ground a few times before punching them away. For specials I just gave him an ariel Jackknife Maximum, but preformed differently since it's hard to do charge down moves when your jumping. Finally I wanted to give him a new throw and so I went with his throw from SF4.

Very good! Glad to see Dee Jay have his turn!
The result looks great!
 
Started playing around with Ikemen Go and liked the features it offers. So now I'm starting the process of making an Ikemen version of the game which shouldn't take to long. I don't know if everything from the Mugen version will make it into the Ikemen version but I'll try to make it happen. Here is a video testing the tag feature. This mode is a lot of fun and it's features like this that made me want to make it. I'm trying to figure out a different way to do the AI because when the characters get really far away from each other, they get don't seem to want to go towards each other & instead they try to get farther apart which leads to fireball spam.

The Ikemen conversion is going really well and should be ready very soon. While I was working on this I redid the look of the lifebars for the game. I feel these are visually easier to read than the old ones. These lifebars will also be coming to the Mugen version.

Awesome! Can't wait :-)
 
Final preview of the Ikemen Go version. The game will be released on 11/7/2022. In this preview I'm showing of the Orochi Kyo Tag system made by OrochiCr. It's very similar to the way Marvel Vs Capcom 2 tag system works and is exactly what the game needed.

your character demos & level design look very fun,

what is the main difference betwwen the mugen version & the Ikemen version? or rather which one is better?
 
The Ikemen version is probably a little better if your looking for new features. It supports tag mode which is a big deal to me since I made my characters inspired by Capcom's VS series. There are other cool things the engine can do for example, Arcade mode allows for multiple stages for 1 character. So all those alternate stages I made for Ryu will now have a purpose. Ikemen Go also supports online play, is open source and still being updated. So it has a lot of advantages now that Mugen will unfortunately never have.

That multiple stages for one character feature is fantastic - I strongly suggest that if you can manage to do stage variants that reflect the time of day, (ikemen "reads" the curernt system's clock) that would be a very nice touch to your work.

I do have a concern with tag mode tho - i hope you are taking measures to prevent spam attacks - from the video you posted it would seem that the "tag entrance punch" could be abused...
 
Now that I'm done updating my other game it's time to get back to updating Classic VS. I showed off some sprites earlier with Medieval Zangief and finally have them finished and coded. Now Zangief's medieval hyper can do a variety of different attacks which you can see in the video. I also changed the bear sprites which look way better with Capcom's art style. I also want to announce that production on E. Honda has started so expect him sometime before the end of the year.
