Batman by Cybaster

[cybaster]

Hello everybody. I'm releasing my longest WIP, aka Batman.
He features many things :
- All the basics (3 punchs and 3 kicks, in stand position, crouch or air) required.
- Plenty of Specials and Supers inspired by Batman's various appearances in cartoons, series and movies.
- 3 modes, each with its own gameplay style : Normal Mode, Goddamn Mode and Adam West Mode.
- Chain combos, Cancels, Super Cancels and Dream Cancels.
- Dodge, Roll, Super Jump and Wall Jump from CVS & MVC.
- Counter system inspired by Arkham Asylum.
- Negative Edge.
- High-res graphics from Cartoon Network's flash game, with many edits.
- High-res hitsparks from Proxicide's MKvsSF, edited by Kronos.
- Classic high-res hitsparks from the original TV series, for Adam West mode, packed with classic hitsounds.
- Voices from various sources : video games, Adam West's original quotes, and even some new voices acted specially for this character.
- 7 intros and 5 winposes, with many variations depending on the mode.
- Two constant files to change his in-game size.
- A configuration file to set some preferences.
- A nice HTML readme providing clear documentation about the character.
- 27 palettes.
- 7 big portraits for you to choose from.
- A small portrait compatible with Vans' KOFXI lifebars.
- A.I.

Clever riddle, but viewing the source code... I totally cheated... because that's how I roll! =-p

I'll give this char a try in a little bit...

Edit: WOW! Very smooth animations, and nice combos too!

[Dissidia]

YES!!! I've solved the Cybaster's riddle.

Going to give Batman a test.

[Shadow Dio]

I dont understand how to download the charcter? There isnt even any place to try and answer the riddle.... If thats whats needed in order to download....?

Too bad too, I was wanting to try him out.


Edit: Found it. Kinda stupid to do.... But meh.  Testing out now.

[NX-MEN]

is there a command list???

[Vitamin]

That was a VERY clever riddle. That took me a minute to figure out. I'm glad to see that you gave him some origianl moves.

If the riddle is too hard for you guys...

[ATiC3]

Cheaters.

hehehe, yep. That's how I roll! =-p

And if you need some help for your next html read-me let me know. =-)

[SanjiSasuke]

What happened to my post about the tab key?

Oh well.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

my conclusion about The Baman.:
good animation.. pretty smooth sprites.. game company worthy
the different versions of him is a neat idea
wish he had a few different attacks but is very good with the ones he got. good combos
his wn quote,,Its the car! chicks dig the Car!.. love it 
his overall gameplay is not too mch difference in each version exept the hypers and some minor tweaks in each but was good to control.
Set on watch mode i was kinda happy to see him beat cheap a$$ broken to death Christian character once.
His voice work was ok, better fitted in the more meaner vs of him
His htypers arer defintely cool to watch
overall mugen character value:
I can see me using him more often . he is very fun to play with.  if you ever decide to add more updates to him i will definetly get them! but he is pretty cool as is. Great work!

[ATiC3]

I haven't tried the Adam West version yet, but did you happen to implement a hyper where he stuns the enemy and stars dancing?

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI7yrWljrY4&feature=related#

  yeah ! definetly add this as a new special move! 

[DARKS31D]

loved the riddle that was unique actually

[Skeletor-EX]

Game play wise, he kills any other Batman in mugen... Can't say I like this choice of sprites though. Other than that, he's pretty nice! Adam West mode is Awesome!! Good job! 

[Arkady]

can't wait for the new movie to come out i hear the riddler is the bad guy in it, and played by the inception dude,
man, nothin beats the riddler, cait wait t o give this batman a wizzzzzzzz

[cybaster]

Thanks lando33 for the huge support.

I haven't tried the Adam West version yet, but did you happen to implement a hyper where he stuns the enemy and stars dancing?

Well, no. I prefered not to include too many moves for each mode, because I think it would clutter the character and make his gameplay bad.
Well, at least he has the "running with a bomb" as a winpose.

Can't say I like this choice of sprites though.

Yeah, I know. I like some of his sprites, but definitely not all of them, which have weird proportions. I didn't want to start asking for other sprites from Scruffy/IMT/Alucard/etc., seeing all the drama involved, and I wanted my Batman to be as far as theirs as possible, in terms of grpahics, gameplay and all.

[nickfurry]

I really don't know how 2 make this thing 2 work. There are some 4 or 5 def files in the folder, I've try all 5 but they keeps crashing.  Any help would be greatly apriciated.

Thanks Vitamin. I had to open a new browser to make it work. I was pissed at first about the whole riddle. It's cool once you get it. Explain "poor bats has it" ?? not completely factual about the riddlers ego though. Just a big butt ego to say... he's THAT great. Thanks nice char smooth great job. 

[cybaster]

I really don't know how 2 make this thing 2 work. There are some 4 or 5 def files in the folder, I've try all 5 but they keeps crashing.  Any help would be greatly apriciated.

He works like a normal character :
- If you want 3-in-1, write "Batman" in the select.def
- If you want a particular mode (goddamn for example), write batman/goddamn.def in the select.def

Explain "poor bats has it" ?? not completely factual about the riddlers ego though.

Yeah, Riddler thinks he's the greatest, he thinks the Joker is the craziest guy, that poor kidnapped Batman (Batman is usually called Bats) has nothing for him, that Bruce Wayne is rich and famous and needs nothing, etc.

[wolviesam]

Got it man thx x share, nice riddle, but i think the best batman villain is Ra's al ghul , this character is a mental, spiritual, real kick-butt nemesis.

Greetings

Post Merge: October 18, 2010, 01:29:55 PMDouble post because I can.

Update : fixed the portrait placement during The Anti Spray thanks to Amanojaku.

You can download the patch here ("right-click -> save file as...", and just copy-paste it in the Batman/states folder).
Otherwise, redownload the whole character (which is not advised if you've already DLed yesterday's version, since you'll DL 28MB for 2 lines of code and a little readme update ).
