For my first WIP I give you. . . .Flash Man!

[silent_bob15217]

Wow this is a first for me.  I don't have much done but I wanted to at least show off something.  Behold.  I came across this open source sprite of Flash Man from Mega Man 2.  I figured this was a boss who had an interesting power, but in the actual game despite this he was the easiest one to beat.  Being the fan of the underdog I wanted to properly bring him into Mugen and make good use of his powers.  I want to thank Nalikantha of Team Reploid's forum for making this sprite open source.  Of course I made a few modifications to make him look more proper.

As you can see there isn't much done just yet.  Just your basic standing animation.  I am working on walking frames and punches and kicks.  I have a few ideas for super moves and hypers, but if anyone gets a good idea let me know.  I'll put more up as I make progress.

I was really hopeing that someone would create Flashman!  He was actually one of my favorite MM2 bosses, He was the 1st one I always go after cause he was the easiest. Best of luck to you on this project...I'm looking foward to it.

I'm really liking that a lot of people are starting to make Robot Masters.
The sprite looks nice so far. Good luck on him!

Edit: Fixed typos.  Computer's messing up.

HAIL 2 U!

First of all, awesome news. I hope you have good luck with it.

Secondly, I would suggest a hyper reminiscent of and attack that Flashman.exe would use and that is just covering the screen with a BLINDING light. You could make it multi hit or something with a nice "dizzy" after-effect. Just a suggestion. 

[silent_bob15217]

You know that's not such a bad idea for a hyper move.  I might have to play EXE 3 again to see this.  I was also thinking about a hyper where Flash man lands the first hit, freezes time and then unloads with his rapid fire cannon.  Thank you all for your support.  I will try to do him justice as this is the first time I have ever made a character.

The Flashman sprite looks really good

Verycool. I would love to see a flash type hyper

Schweet!  All of these robot masters are making me giddy!  Have you told the people over at the XR Reploid boards about this?  This would be a major welcome to their fighting game!

What attacks does he have?

[silent_bob15217]

I'm still fishing for ideas on what kind of attacks to give him.  Hypers I am pretty sure I know what I want him to have, but as far as specials go, I am not sure yet.  I wonder if a good one would be to have him slow down time for a few seconds as a special rather than stop it outright?

[silent_bob15217]

Oh and I was actually on Team Reploid's forum before I joined Infinity's.  The guys over there seem to be digging it.  Not sure if it would be project worthy or not, but It's nice to see so many other Mega Man enthusiasts out there who want to give the bosses the MvC treatment.

[silent_bob15217]

Well his running sprites are all done.  Strange thing I can't show them off properly.  I tried to convert them to a GIF using fighter factory, and all the black parts turned white when I did this.  Anything I might be able to do about this?
