Presenting everyone with my first solo character wip :
mad props and respect for the beautiful skills on the official Crom sword and sig by my buddy and good knucklehead bro Mr. Wolfdog!
Vid short promo: Big thanx Supa2520 for the vid work man.
This is my wip to be released sometime in 2014: Trashcan Larry! He is a funny dude based on some of the inside jokes me and Arkady ( Arch) always make cracks about being hobo's .
His moveset is based on various chartacters that will become his own style. he isnt a shoto clone as he will have his own moves. I want to put a lot of comedy type stuff in him but even moreso focus on his gameplay elements and mechanics. He is neither cvs or an mvc style. but rather a custom style based on some of the games i will be trying to emulate from the newer games.
his look is based off of what i seen personally and as well the stuff in images and put them together to come up with a total weird look but adding in some funny moves and some cool technical stuff here and there. he uses a varied range of weapons like a a plunger, throws pizza boxes, trashcan lid for high blocks,and many other things. He is a bonafide practioner of the Shanty Fist style. Meaning he uses anything he can and wants to at his disposal. i will soon add in a Bg story for him and all to read.
Its my first mugen character and testing ground character so i not going all out detail wise but keepin things simple but cool and funny.
. I as well take ideas for specials and supers as i do have plenty now but i would like some others to replace some ideas i already have written down for him.
i shall try to add in as much craziness as possible. yall know how i am and i am all about fun and laughs, so this dude surely will be just that with a touch of some cool stuff added in. I shall keep posted work on him as i do him as much as can .
so far he has done in sprite and code work:
Stance ( getting tweaked for frames and smoother animation0
walk forward
walk backwards
stand block ( with trashcan lid
)
crouch
crouch block
1 intro
one win pose
1 taunt
i just started him last month and going back to him after the holidays to finish a few other sheets i have which are his jump sprites and run and dash back sprites. Once i got those basic movements out the way i will move on to the get hits, which i tend to make some pretty foolery ones. holding up signs as he gets hit or and having the word ( fragile ) on his cardboard box as he is hit.
That plunger he has.,.. has many applications. he uses it for a MK scorpion like spear move ( almost same way) a naruto super using it...yeah if you watch naruto first season, you will know exactly where its going.
and many other stuff as well. But i am adding in other projectiles and other weapons of "hoboness' as i can for many specials and even some stuff in basics .
some screenshots:
This is the old stance before i switched to the new one that i must re-edit and add more frames to as well to be smoother. I wanted a stance that wasnt a shoto style.
He will also be released with his own stage as well.
this stage ( shanty town village ) will be getting all fixed up as well before the release.
there will be some intros and supers featuring some of his crew and various other guys:
Blackswag and PO-33 ( Arch hobo character Trenchcoat Larry and another dude Garbage Can Pete are missing for the moment. i have GC Pete sprite but cant find it at the moment
) will appear in intros and supers and some win poses. Spidermew as well will be a Super as part of Larry super moves.
I am working on Larry to be completes in 2014 and as well ABR new stuff along with an outside community artist helpin along with me hand drawn characters that need it and other things As well i am doing work on Crom the game and Jesse Quick wip. i shall be very busy in 2014 and beyond.
. Will keep updating things as they get done and got to point of goodness to show. Thanx everyone for viewing.
Huge thanx to my inside coder, great friend and bro for helpin me get him started and all the future advice and helps.
Hail Crom!
