Capcom X Marvel [PROGRESS VIDEO]

[BC]

Capcom X Marvel is a full game project for Mugen currently in early stages of development. The game will feature characters from the Street Fighter Alpha series and other capcom fighting games, characters from the Marvel series such as MVC, MVC2, Marvel Super heroes. There will also feature a roster of X-men characters from X-men COTA and the Vs games.

The gameplay promises to be of a unique style and marvel characters will not emulate gameplay from the MVC series. The current roster has yet to be confirmed, but expect around 30 characters from each brand, which is around 60+ characters.

The characters are all programmed from scratch as usual, to speed up the creation process, I'll be using various ready made .SFF files (crediting the authors of course) the first person I'll be crediting is Kong for all the sprite rips contributed to the community, Thanks Kong.

I've been working on this full game for the past few weeks, currently I'm developing the gameplay system and I can list some of the features expected. Please note that the current features may change over the course of time. Inspiration can work for or against you sometimes 

The screenpack is under development too (including lifebars) so expect to see more on that a little later. Let's crack on here are the games features:

(click to show/hide)

-6 Buttons
-Basic Attacks including throws
-Special Attacks (EX yet to be decided)
-Super Attacks
-Rage Attack**
-Forward Run or Dash and Back Dash
-High Jump (not super jump, more CVS)
-Stage Interaction**
-Tech Hit
-Ground Recovery
-Tag Mode available in the menu, which also features team supers. (to be decided)
-Brand Specific Skills**

** Rage Attack

Features a guage that works just like SF4's ultra gauge. When you receive damage it fills. The Rage Gauge does not affect the power bar and this time round you can do it whenever it's full in the round. (SFA4 you could only do it when you had 1/4 life left with a full powerbar)

** Stage Interaction

Another cool feature of the game will involve stage interaction, currently it's still in discussion on what exactly will be the plan but so far we've got something. Characters will have a special move (which affects the power bar) that involves the opponent taking damage from something on the stage. As an example: "colossus picks up a large rock from the background and throws it at p2" or a little more cooler, "Ryu rams hulks head into rotating fan causing a little discomfort to poor hulk". Other things discussed were platforms but it's yet to be confirmed.

** Brand Specific Skills

Characters from each brand will feature skills from their respected games. Street Fighter Alpha characters will feature a beefed up alpha counter, while Marvel Characters will feature Advancing Guard.

The Roster is going to be quite big and the game boasts of around 60+ characters! I'll post the basic roster but note that there will be new characters per brand which aren't listed.

Again please note the roster may change at any time**

The first character I've been working on is Colossus from the X-men, I'll be releasing him also as a standalone. I'm using him to develop the gameplay and also I'll be making a template from him so that I can work on multiple characters at the same time, by multiple I mean I'll be working on at least 4 characters at a time to speed up the creation process.

Here is the latest video of Colossus, he is in early beta stage, little details are missing like certain dust FX and stuff but he's playable right now. The first video is the latest video of his progress and the second video is a misc video of comparisons to his X-men COTA super. Currently you'll notice there is no superpause and no super activation sparks this is just due to the game being early on in development.

I'll be happy to take questions/comments regarding the game so please feel free

Looks good

[HyperVoiceActing]

Pretty neat. Though I was kinda hoping for some newer characters that weren't in the older Vs series games, like (U)MvC3 characters or even characters that weren't in the Vs series at all.

Or at least new voice overs for the veterans here

Of course the gameplay looks promising. Best of luck with it BC

Concerning the X-Men, you're right that it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I did mention the roster I've shown doesn't include the new characters in the game. There will be new characters don't worry, I have a spriter on board but I think I'm gonna need more than one .

@Uche

Also regarding the x-men being separate I may change that it, it was just for a screen pack idea.

[Trinitronity]

You may also want to include Capcom's rest to the Street Fighter side and rename it to Capcom X Marvel.
That way, we could get comebacks of even more fan favourites.

[BC]

That's a possibility that has been considered ill give it some thought.

Edit:

Ill roll with that, and I've decided to not separate the xmen also.

[HyperVoiceActing]

Will there be returning stages from the Vs series or new ones?

[Acey]

It looks good BC. I totally support your effort here. Keep up the good work.

[O Ilusionista]

BC, if you need BlackCat and Bullseye, you can take both and adapt to your game.
About BlackCat, you need to speak with XFields too, since he is the main spriter. About Bullseye, take it. I will inform Doom (the spriter)

[DEMONKAI]

This looks cool^^ im surprised i didnt see Sabertooth make that list

[.Batzarro.]

This sounds great so far. Personally, I'd much rather see a new Street Fighter vs X-Men. It can feel too cluttered with dozens and dozens of characters to pick from. I never know who to go with.

Definitely need to do that if you're interested in Black Cat since it's his sprite work.

[Cayne]

cool cocept brah. As for the roster maybe its time for some new generation heroes. Hope Summers, Stepford chuckoos, and broo would be awesome. Maybe the Mc2 universe can appear outside that spider-girl no one uses or even miles morales. either way great work so far.

[BC]

Will there be returning stages from the Vs series or new ones?

Possibly a mixture of both actually.

It looks good BC. I totally support your effort here. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support Acey.

Thanks I appreciate that, I'll get in touch with XFields regarding BlackCat and I'll take Bullseye .

This looks cool^^ im surprised i didnt see Sabertooth make that list

He's in, just forgot to add him  I'll update the roster once it's concrete.



Also to anyone else interested, if you have or know of any characters that I could use for the game please let me know as it would definately make "new" characters easy to work on if the sprites are already availalbe.

[Macaulyn97]

Some Capcom original characters like Ingrid and Ruby Heart should be in this roster.

If you want, I'd be more than willing to let you use Black Widow. Just ask Arkady

That would be cool thanks.


Here's a little combo I cooked up with colossus, as you can see I had to work for the combo, which is how I want things.

[Trinitronity]

One question?
For the Street Fighter characters, will you use the old sprites from the MvC games or the far superior sprites from Capcom vs SNK? I would like to see the CvS-styled versions, to be honest.

[BC]

That would all depend on how much the sprite styles would clash.

[Trinitronity]

Well, you can try out Ryu, Nash, Cammy, Guy, Bison, Sakura, Karin and Dan by PotS & Ken, Guile and Chun-Li by Jmorphman, if you want. They are all online.

[BC]

I already have most of those characters. The style does seem a little clashy, and noticeable, the sprites for street fighter and other capcom characters were designed to fit in with the marvel characters.

You may want to give the Marvel characters a CvSish pallette. That way, the clash is gone.
And on a side note, many Street Fighter characters in Capcom vs SNK have just reused their Street Fighter Alpha sprites, but scaled down to CvS size.

This is actually being mentioned on another forum too, I'll give it some thought as I do like CVS Ryu better than Alpha looking, although they're different ages and what not.

[.Batzarro.]

I wouldn't go with CvS sprites for the Capcom side, just doesn't make sense. Given, the CvS sprites don't actually clash all that much with MvC style but think about it. CvS sprites are smaller, every Marvel character would look big compared. What about the Capcom characters you wanna add that don't have CvS sprites.? They'll be bigger than the rest of the Capcom characters unless you wanna go in and convert all the sprites yourself. It's much more of a hassle than you might think and won't work well, IMO. MvC sprites were meant to fit in with the Alpha sprites, why screw with that.?
