Hidden Stage Release - W.V.B.A. Minor Circuit - Super Punch-Out!

[DarkValentine]

Enjoy this minor gem that I've been working on in secret for some time. It probably wasn't apparent when I added it to the idea's list, that I wanted to announce it's imminent arrival. It is Super Jump enabled, to a degree. Gave me some room to work with, until I finish off the D.D. Crew stage.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Even more so to you, you are unknowingly my biggest inspiration for the reason why I got involved with M.U.G.E.N as a whole. The work you did when I found out about what you can do, made me impressed with the level of quality you brought to your releases. So I decided to do the same with my stages. Rocky starts aside on my end, I think I'm doing good. So I personally thank you for giving me a reason to keep doing what I'm doing. 

The making of this stage, something that was a mild dream of mine. To see the ring from Super Punch-Out get made into a working stage. I wanted to make this stage as diverse as possible.

The problem with that, is the crowd & ring shared the exact same layer, and there was no way to really separate the two. But it did provide me with 4 rips that all linked together. Since the only thing that moves is the crowd, I could get away with making an animation layer, as a working floor for characters.

Just add some lights, and an off black mask, and this stage is born. I plan on making an update to the stage at some point, when I have a little more free time. By adding in the Major & World circuit floor & colors to the sff.

Like a few of my past stages, it would give many an option towards changing it to their liking.

def nice stage DV bro.
 i too been running into my own issues finding separate stage crowd rips cause they share same layers with the rings and stuff. so i just kinda freelancing stuff in spriting them. such a chore and cool as well with others supplying me sprites for the Bg's.  but definetly i see what you mean in wishing they were separate layers.  i could edit the ropes out but then have to resprite the sprite characters pieces back that is missing and would lose the animations...unless make my own. another long haul chore but thats something i might have to do for needed stuff. this is again definetly pretty dang cool bro !  fantastic work man.

Yeah, it does pose a challenge. But one I like to take hold of in this aspect. If I can't find a way through my problem, seeking other alternative measures in getting it done right, is normally the better course of action in this regard.

I learned this, during my attempted ripping of Super Battletoads. Despite I failed at it, I found an alternate route to doing so. But it requires knowledge of Artmoney, and that is something I lack, due to very little information on it. In fact, all arcade games made by Rare, don't have a TMap layer, or GFX layer that I can rip from in MAME, and this was after the fact of doing any hard searching. Different situations, same issue.

And thanks for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

Dope Release! congrats man. Keep em comin!

yeh when i saw the shot in the eternal thread i knew that had to be from punch out

NOW i must test my terry in that situation

[DarkValentine]

Feel free. There are not enough stages that include rings of any kind. Let alone a boxing ring, with people cheering on. There wasn't really much to do with a stage that only had 4 rips. No extra objects to add, other than lights.

And thanks for the comment.

[DEMONKAI]

The stage is perfect. you nailed that super jump flava just right man its now one of my favorite ring stages to battle on

I think ill make a new CPU battle video with your stage showing my terry's progress with his A.I.
I used the snes version of saturday night slam masters SYDNEY stage theme for your stage...

[DarkValentine]

Go right ahead, I originally wasn't going to add any music to my stages, since I'm known for keeping lightweight file size for them in general. Use whatever you think works best.
