Megaman X

[laspacho]

X has been my wip since last year.  I held off on making a thread for this since I was focusing on making the sprites.   
Special thanks to  ChAoTiC for letting me use his Megaman X beta from a few years back as my starting base.
For basic attacks X will have 5 different Sabre attacks and the 6th attack is a kick.  New Hypers, New Specials, Winposes, Ect, Ect.
For the past week, amongst other sprites I made, I was primarily working on custom sprites so X can jump up the wall and slide down it.  X can also shoot, and swing his Sabre while hanging on the wall. 
I would say I'm around 97% complete with the sprites.  Once I finish spriting I'll start coding the basics on the Rmm template and start showing more screen shots.

One major thing I'm lacking is X's power sets. I would like to use different weapons from the X series obviously.  Does anyone know of (or are interested in making)  some X projectile boss weapon sprites that are enlarged or in a MVC like kind of style?  I'm going to use Ken's fire effects for a uppercut, which would fill one power set.  So I still need to fill five more power sets.

Enjoy.

You can use Classic Rock's Tornado Hold fx for the Tornado Shot (sorry I forgot the name) from MMX1

That's a good idea, Storm Eagle has that.  I'll just have the effect go forward.  One more down, 4 to go.

What I have left to sprite:
1)  A throw
2)  The 3 trip sprites I missed
3)  A diagonal buster shot arm angle for one of the shooting sprites in a hyper.
4) Punch the ground hyper.

Glad to be of help. Can't wait for more progress

Since you'll already use Rising Fire and Storm Tornado, I'd suggest each weapon to be from a different game. My suggestions would be:

X2 - Strike Chain (Wire Sponge): Shots a electric grappling hook that pulls enemies. Charged shot goes faster and has more range.
X3 - Parasitic Bomb (Blast Hornet): Launches a bomb that latches on the enemy then explodes. Charged shot launches homing hornets.
X5 - Spike Ball (Axle the Red): Shots a spiked ball of vines that stay on place the returns to X. Charged shot fires a spiked ball that bounces around.
X6 - Metal Anchor (Metal Shark Player): Shots a bouncing anchor. Charged shot summons various copies of Storm Eagle that hit everything on screen.
X7 - Moving Wheel (Ride Boarski): Creates a wheel that  moves in the ground and walls. Charged shot fires three explosive wheels.
X8 - Crystal Wall (Earthrock Trilobyte): Creates a crystal wall in front of X which protects him from projectiles. Charged shot creates a larger wall that also unearth items.

A good idea for using the charged weapons would be them being a hyper, which would change depending on the currently equipped weapon.

I haven't played X6 but that sounds random

I haven't played X6 but that sounds random

when metal anchor is fully charged it does that.

All good ideas.  I'm not planning to do charge ups for power set weapons.

It's a extremely cool idea, but unfortunately there is no way I can make or convert that much stuff to do it.  I still need to eventually work on 4 more weapons for the power sets.

[Magma MK-II]

It'd probably work like Acey's Rogue, who has a hyper that changes depending on the power currently copied.

[Ganbare-Lucifer]

I can suggest X3's Frost Shield...

and ... well... X5 Slash Weapon...

[Royal_Squat]

I don't have my own opinion on which weapons are the best for the Weapon Set (Yet...as there are so many to choose from.) but I thought this link might help others that might not know all the  weapons X has used via game play.

Having one shield type move as a power set would be good.

How about some X armor?  This is the only armor I'm currently planning on using as a hyper.

Very cool. But which hyper will it be?

[HyperVoiceActing]

He better be able to pull some SF moves in that armor

The only ones I can think of that aren't charged weapons are the Guard Shell (Shield Sheldon) and the Gaea Shield (Soldier Stonekong). The ones which work as shields when charged are Rolling Shield (Armored Armadillo), Bubble Splash (Bubble Crab) and Crescent Shot (Grizzly Slash). There is also the Yammar Option (Commander Yammark) which isn't quite a shield but can work as one.

I would be happy with any of them.  I'm kinda hoping someone will be nice enough to make some nice weapon sprites for the 4 sets I'm missing, while I finish work on the X sprites.  Pretty much If someone makes one and it looks good it's automatically gonna be used.  If I end up finishing X's sprites and still need them I'll end up trying to make something for it.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Cool.

Hey, can he also ... ya know ...  or are you just using one of them

[laspacho]

I haven't made    yet since X is going to be flying for this hyper so it might not be needed.  I could probably easily make it though since I already made it for regular X.

If you've decided on which ones you'll be using I can sprite them for ya.

If there is a favorite weapon you like that you would like to see go right ahead and sprite it and I'll use it.  I'm not going to be picky.

This is probably the most... out there idea, but anytime I think of X being in this project, I actually don't think of any MMX weapons, but rather of his ARMORS. I doubt this would be able to be implemented simply due to all the coding and spriting that would be needed, but wouldn't it be amazing to watch X switch between, say, the Gaea Armor and the Blade Armor, each having a completely different play style and feel, then using the Ultimate Armor for a Power-Up-Style Level 3 Hyper?

I think it would be a great idea to have all the different armors and be able to switch between them, but it's just to many sprites for me to do.  It would be a full sprite set for every different armor.  With that being said I have considered doing a full set of the X3 armor sprites so X could change back and forth at will.  But it would just take a lot of time to do the full sprite set.  I already have over 50 sprites completed for the X3 armor to function just as a hyper for the moment.  So it would be feesable to go back and do a full set one day seeing that I got the boring stuff like the get hits done already.
