Show 'em why we call it....Splatterhouse

[DukeNukem 2417]

After about a YEAR of working on the spriting with minimal progress, I figured I might as well announce my big project for the MUGEN world: Rick Taylor, from Splatterhouse. 

supaman2525 is helping me clean up the sprites, and I'm getting the sound rips recording the Terror Mask's dialogue myself (the sound rips I originally planned on using will be saved for my eventual 2010 Splatterhouse Rick project), but I still have no coder signed on for whenever I eventally finish the spriting.  If ANYONE is interested in helping out with this, please let me know. 

WHAT TO EXPECT (hopefully)
------------------------------
*Dynamic controls that (sort of) mimic the PS3/XBox 360 Splatterhouse
*13 Weapons, each with three supers and one hyper
*4 Desperation moves
*Special intros against several characters
*AND MORE!

Rick's Splatterhouse 3-inspired walking animation

The HORRIBLE original standing animation.  I'm posting it here so you can all laugh at it. 


And, finally, the first draft of the new standing animation: 



I know it needs some work, but it IS a lot better than the original stand pose.

Oh, and before anyone accuses me of jacking someone else's work, all material in this post has been posted in the following thread at CrusaderCast: http://crusadercast.com/cc-mugen-wip's/show-'em-why-we-call-it-splatterhouse/

ONE MORE THING: The observant among you will notice a startling similarity between this and The Pizzaman's MvC Rick beta.  Well, that project was a direct inspiration for my own, and I have, in fact, received The Pizzaman's permission and blessing to continue on with my own project.

Will Rick have the "Big Rick" mode that the one from Pizzaman had?

Will Rick have the "Big Rick" mode that the one from Pizzaman had?

He'll have TWO, actually. 

1.: Mutant Rick, the same one Pizzaman's Rick had. 
2.: Berserker Rick, from the 2010 Splatterhouse (using Acey's Hulk 2099 as a base, which I NOW HAVE PERMISSION TO DO!)

FIRST LOOK: Mutant Rick and Berserker Rick!

UPDATE: For those who remember the INIMITABLE Andres Borghi's take on Rick Taylor, great news: I've received permission from Andres himself to borrow code and other elements from his Rick. 

 

Expect greatness.
