KFM Update - Rage Video!!!

[BC]

Hey guys it's been a while.

Now that I am back, I've wanted to work on my own version of Kung Fu Man for a while now. I know I can completely improve his game play and thus far I have done that. The default Kung Fu Man feels slow and is lacking in most aspects overall. So I've pretty much re-coded everything or improved areas that were poor performing. I've left a couple of  default things in there like a few CLSN's and the throw. I've just changed some Vels for the throw to make it look a little better.

His main features are:

-Smoother transitions between combos
-More combo ability than before
-A power charge
-New Intros and Win poses (not yet implemented).
-2 New super moves ~ His KF upper super has been removed.
-An offensive counter attack
-A tactical back dash during combos to mix things up
-And something of a trademark for me - See the video below

At the current stage of progress he's missing a few sounds and some FX (mainly dust). I'm desperately looking for an Akira Yuki voice pack as I think it would fit him perfectly, but I cannot find one anywhere on the internet which is ridiculous. So untill I find a proper voice pack I could use for him for now it's a mixture of similar sounding voices.

Here is a short combo showcasing some gameplay.



Here is a video of the new feature available "Tactical Backdash".



The Tactical Backdash is pretty cool for confusing your opponent. By pressing lp + lk together during a basic attack you can cancel out of it with a backdash. During the landing state of the backdash by pressing an attack button you have different options. Punch will launch a KF palm, where any 2 punches will use the EX version. Pressing kick will use a new flying kick special and 2 kicks will display an EX version.

A video of another feature "Kung Fu Counter"



The KF Counter may change over the course of time once I can find a decent sprite editor.

Finally, you can see from the first video KFM has a Shin Shoryuuken type super move, his next new super shown in this video is "Fist of Fury" along with a little suprise/teaser.

New Fist of Fury Supermove and ??


Any questions or queries on his development so far I'll be happy to answer.

Thanks

  when done this guy...lando must have him upon release! your doing amazing work BC. i wasnt expecting anyone to revamp Kung Fu basic dude like this. awesome bro.

question: how many other supers you plan to add him that wont be based on any of his older moves once you get a sprite editor? any plans?

[BC]

Thanks man,

Initially I planned for him to have 3 supers and a  (Rage) . Sprite edit wise what I'm looking for is a powercharge animation to which I have reference for, an intro with Suave dude kidnapping his girlfriend, I also have a reference for that. Other edits would be for his Rage if I wanted to improve or change something.

As far as another super goes, we will see.. Also for a future note - after I finish this character I'm going to make a Suave Dude and Eventually KFM's Evil Clone.

I'm willing to pay an artist/sprite editor to create sprites for me.

[HyperVoiceActing]

He looks real snazzy

no problem bro, your doing great work on the dude and it surely shows.


hmm,m that powercharging animation....are you using 1.0 based Kung Fu man?

[DEMONKAI]

been watchin this progress for a while at evolution

[BC]

I'm using the 1.0 KFM but not the 720 version. My .SFF has been recoloured or my palette rather, so if someone was to give him a powercharge anim it would need to be used from these colours:



Here is my reference for the powercharge that I'm looking for. It's a little fast but it shows what I'm after.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

ohh ok cool.  i think yeah might need just 5 to 6 sprites for the finished look of the power charge.  very good idea right there bro. 

[BC]

 

Staubhold has come up with a cool intro idea with suave dude, here is a reference xD

[DEMONKAI]

  perfect

cant go wrong with a well done nostalgic intro

[BC]

Yeah, I think it'll work well if done right.

Currently I'm working on the EX version of his KF counter. It will be a triple hitting move based on Akira Yuki's 3 hit combo from VF 5. Luckily I don't have to edit anything which is cool.

watch @ 2:27 this is what I'm aiming for.

!

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

Tjis is definitely gonna be a very much improved Kung Fu man BC. Like that idea too and since dont need hardly any editing should come out well. 

[DEMONKAI]

smart Idea using some stuff from Akira. makes sense. But you know what? you should try to do a smart palette with Akiras clothing for KFM haha. the cut off sleeves. etc.

that smart palette stuff works well if done right

[Magma MK-II]

Lokking good so far! 

You plan on adding some special intros against some chars? (Kung-Fu Girl for example)

[BC]

@ Demonkai

Smart Palette idea sounds good, I'll look into that thanks.

@Magma Sinistar MK-II

Yeah there will be some special intro's once I get a sprite editor on my side

UPDATE TIME!!

I give to you "EX Kung Fu Counter"

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO now that is tight BC!  i like that sh*t right there bro. 

yeah i got a hold of KFM and sprites so i will try to  get a chance on my day off from work and play around with the sprites and see if i can try to make that Powerbuild animation. If you already got it done now,  by then  or before i get to finish my lil version then its all good bro. 

[DEMONKAI]

A EX Kung Fu counter? woah thats my kind of jazz right there. that was slick!

well folks even though this BC KFM isnt out yet we already know its the best KFM character of all time instantly

[Mach25]

Man, this guy is looking GOOD!

[BC]

Ok guys, another progress video here. This is an extended viewing of the Tactical Backdash, showing all cancelable options from it including EX moves. Enjoy

[DEMONKAI]

thats some slick work on the Tactical back dash idea

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

BC...kung Fu Man _ improved will be such a small word by the time you finish this dude. Beast work with that new move man.

[BC]

Lol thanks guys.

All that's left now is his RAGE and a couple of sprite edits required for intro's, powercharge and maybe even a new stance.

[DEMONKAI]

Just a verbal update at the moment.

-Added forwards and backwards roll
-Added dodge with attack options.
-Added a temporary power charge animation until I get the one mentioned a previous post.
-Added a couple of new voices from Akira Yuki.

Breaking News!

Decided on his rage, I hired an artist for this one, but I promise it will be awesome once it's done right... I predict it to be the best Rage I ever made! 

Stay tuned guys!
