Well mine though looks similar but the concept I have is very old when I was a kid(I think when I'm 13 or 14 years old) when I didn't even know what pixel art was back then. My introduction to SOR Saga was BK3>SOR2>SOR1. That's why my edits heavily referenced from BK3 because my dream game is a complete (I was dissapointed how unfinished it was) and expanded BK3 with all the cast and version but with BK3 mechanics.
This was the Offensive Specials references comes from
What you see when you look at above sprite? What I see was (when I was a kid) Vegeta Final Impact but while it fits for Vegeta because his cocky personality I think if doesn't fit for Blaze so I found a references that I think would more fit for her. It was Hotaru Futaba "Hakki Shou".
And for why I gave her Chou Reppa Dan for her Blitz it was referenced from Blaze alt Blitz in SOR 4 + Andy Bogard
A lot of long thought process (it takes me the longest time) on every move set. And research a lot of research to get the desired outcome.
Sorry for the derailment there, just needed to give an explanation behind the move set.
And back to SORX.
While my edit of Blaze is lean more on her acrobatic/gymnastic style, I think SORX Blaze can lean more on her as a Judoka, I believe @NED already suggested this. I have a concept or two that I will share when it's finished.
And btw., this is my SOR2 Blaze Rage concept
A flashier version of her Game Gear special. It acts like Tatsumaki Senpukyaku with multi hits.
Thanks God for that and thanks @O Ilusionista

here is my play through for sor 1 Blaze on maina. Sor 1 & sor 2 paths.
I watched everyone else’s videos from the form and I found that we all played her a bit differently.

I was referring to sea horse’s version from they’re rom hack video. But sea horse already responded.
If you do move forward special, keep the hitbox consistent with current defensive special range and duration- (maybe sea horse could add a cool visual effects to it). I feel that is really important for all 3 of the blaze’s move set.
(SOR 1 Blaze’s star move suggestion )
In addition to her start elbow, it would cool if added her back kick sprites to the move.
So it would be star elbow into her back kick and then you can spilt the current damage between both hits. It would kind of look like this
It’s missing the slide forward-Iframes and the last 2 recovery that make it look like a round house. I will commission you or sea horse to have those missing frames.
If you’re wondering what i mean by 2 missing frames. Her back kick only has these 2 frames facing backwards. Then they retrack but that looks awkward and weak. If she had 2 new animations that make it like is spinning around. It would this flow a lot better and it would make this kick look more powerful. Like spingi
Thanks!

Yeah, but separately. @Kratus fgames is still showing 33 by the way, I'd like to play through 34 properly and work on a new mix. On Blaze's A button specials, I would say the hadouken thing really breaks up the flow as well as being a bit silly. The elbow above or something similar would keep the combo going. I understand it's difficult with frames/creating new moves, but a rolling thunder would be easy enough and my humble suggestion.

But both SOR2/SOR3 Blazes have the exact same aerial special, when the same damage. The only difference is about how to connect it, but has the same damage output.
To be honest I prefer to keep the current format, with many similarities with the BKM version.
However, I already made some changes in the special moves, now I'm testing your new sprites for a possible 1 or 3 star move.
Hmm I really liked it. But I don't know if I should remove the current one, I need to think about it.
But thanks for the idea and sprites
Yeeeaah! Although I think she really needs adjustments, it seems that you've captured my intentions with her gameplay.
This is a good suggestion. I will need to first finish the current changes I'm working on, and then we can test it.
What I changed was:
- moved the "low kick" forward special to the defensive special
- moved the 1 star blitz (elbow) to the forward special
- currently preparing the recent seahorses sprites to test as a 1 star move (or maybe a 3 star move)
What I'm not planning to change:
- default combo (keep the original SOR1 Blaze)
- back attack (keep the original SOR1 Blaze)
- jumping attacks (keep the original SOR1 Blaze)
- grabbing attacks (keep the original SOR1 Blaze)
- ground throw/slam (keep the original SOR1 Blaze)
- aerial slam (keep the original BKM Blaze, press jump button again during the jump animation on a ground enemy, not in the air like Blaze 2 or 3)
- running attack (blitz, keep the original BKM Blaze)
What I'm considering to improve
- all the 3 special attacks (keeping the BKM low kick)
- all the 3 energy attacks (I prefer keeping the current rage, unless I have better sprites).
Exactly, at least in my tests the elbow as a forward special worked better than the low kick, and this last one better as a defensive special.

Honestly, yes. The rage is actually kind of amazing for a combo extender on bosses. It does have a bit of a quirk that may or may not be fixable: If used on a group (which is common esp. in Mania, f your AI btw lol) some enemies get pushed a considerable distance despite only getting hit once by the rage.

It was never meant to replace the OG one. The OG GG one serves more like an uppercut? It moves forward a bit, fit for a counter. And the new one for rage special has long distance forward with multi hits. So both have different purposes. The current SOR2 Blaze Rage it doesn't looks appetizing (the long blast FX is too much, it fits more to someone like Zan?) and doesn't fit for Blaze IMHO.Hmm I really liked it. But I don't know if I should remove the current one, I need to think about it.

Yeah, I noticed that. I will make some adjustments, thanks for the feedback.
This is a valid point. Maybe I can use your sprites like the Ruy's Shinku Tatsumaki, pulling all nearby enemies.

Tbf Chun had Kikoken before Blaze's Kikosho and I'd trust the Chinese lady doing a Qigong themed move over the brunette using sacks for shoesBlaze had a Kikousho before Chun Li.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo, released 1992-12-17. Streets of Rage 2 released 1992-12-15. So even counting Kikoken vs. Kikosho, Blaze beat Chun-Li by two days.
FTR I actually liked Blaze 2's design. Beats the drunk face and go-go boots from 3 any day.

I see you did the research too.
Heh... helps to have been there. If you want to get REALLY pedantic, Chun didn't even get a proper animation for it until Super Street Fight 2. Just her old close fierce and a recycled projectile sprite from Forgotten Worlds.

You were in Japan? A concrete date for Hyper Fighting doesn't seem to be agreed upon for Japan, with some sources saying December 10th or 11th (overall just giving an ambiguous 'late 1992', the 35th Anniversary page seems to be the only place where it says 12/17) vs. Streets of Rage 2's December 15th. (correct me if I am wrong, but at this point this went from a joke to nonsense... if you TRULY want to get pedantic about it, on startup and I believe inside the board itself of the earliest dump we have publicly, you'll see the code '921209' meaning 1992-12-09)
Agree for the most part on Blaze 2 over Blaze 3, her fighting stance makes a little more sense in 3's though at least with an upper guard vs. just having her arms outstretched lol.
