X-MEN: Days of Future Past mugen

[NX-MEN]

I thought Sebastian Shaw too but he is a villain so he is not neutral!!

[dev.]

Guess it will remain mistery until the first preview. 

[O Ilusionista]

...Longshot?

[Uche_of_IMT]

I believe it to be one of the following:

• Trevor Fitzroy
• Madelyne Pyror
• Selene
• Jason Wyngarde
• Martinique Jason
• Lady Mastermind
• Mikhail Rasputin
• Adrienne Frost
• Quentin Quire
• Jamie Braddock
• Cordelia Frost
• Christian Frost
• High Evolutionary
• Winston Frost
• Calisto of the Morlocks

This Post was a good read. Dev I can't wait to see what you got in store for Your Project! I can't wait for your 1st Preview of some gameplay

-He/she is neutral
-Belongs to the X-MEN universe
-Never mugenised before
-He/she is a heavy hitter
And I think if I tell you more, I'll make it too easy.
Even tho, this char is from the X-MEN universe, it has nothing to do with the original DOFP story, so I'll have to come with something original to fit in the story.

Hhmm .. It's not as easy as you think. My guesses are Random, Forearm and Warpath ot Thunderbird, though they might not be neutral. I would like it to be Sebastian Shaw or Donald Pierce, but they are even less neutral.

Just to let you guys know this thing ain't dead.
I've been working on this guy in the last couple weeks.

I have some progress done and some nice ideas for Shaw. I plan to release a small teaser on my birthday in April.
Hopefully I can show you Tombstone as well.

Yeah, I've been studying the Hellfire club (the real one and the comics) a lot in the past months. I even visited the real Hellfire club HQ in Montpelier Hill. I also started to read every comics based on them starting with this:

So I'm really passionate about this and hopefully I will do something nice.

Of course he will be able to absorb kinetic energy; that's his main power, right?
Anyway, I'm not there yet, but I will definitely need some ideas from you guys regarding hypers and specials.

[Xfields]

is there a real hellfire club?
need this!

[HyperVoiceActing]

I have to say, this is probably one of the most ambitious MUGEN projects I've ever seen. Massive kudos to you, good sir 

[NX-MEN]

I feel the same excitement as X and Hyper above!!!

Some ideas for him:

*When he absorbs energy, he can move faster and attack the opponent. Also he can release the energy back!!

*U can do some fists attacks!!

*Since he absorbs power u can make his damage meter slower because that will give him an an advantage against his opponents. Also he can have extra advantage against telepaths such as Proff X or Jean Grey because he can block their powers



*U can do a lot of grab moves since he likes grabbing his opponents eg










Level 3 hyper using Inner Circle members such as Harry Leland, Donald Pierce, Selene, Jason Wyngarde or even Emma Frost. Maybe there can be a code when u face Emma in order not to appear and as a result she will not be depicted in the screen twice

Special intro vs Emma Frost

Palette ideas:













Also love to see him having this look either as a pall or intro/winpose



U can give him a spin throw eg

[Megabyte]

I'd suggest to go with a more recent look for Sebastian, basically his Hellfire look minus the coat. Or even just with the white T/tanktop but the pants from the Hellfire outfit (similar to what he wore in the aftermath of Messiah Complex where he and Gambit battled Sinister)...

[dev.]

@HyperVoiceActing Thanks. Indeed I am constant in my work even when I don't feel motivated, I open GIMP and I pick as I go.
@NX-MEN Very good suggestions. Thank you for that.
@Megabyte My project is based on Jim Lee era with a few exceptions. The story, even tho I changed it a lot, is based on the 80's Days of Future Past which is John Byrne's.

• Move Idea: Since Sebastian Shaw is considered the Black King of the Hellfire Club, some of the black pieces should be assists for him to summon.
• Victory Pose Idea: Sebastian Shaw stands triumphant with a assured grin on his face and his arms folded backwards.
• Victory Pose Idea: Tessa puts on Sebastian Shaw's jacket ans serves him Tea.
• Hyper Move Idea: Sebastian Shaw gets into a block stance. If the opponent hits Shaw during the stance, he counters into a 4-Hit High Damage Combo (Straight Left, Straight Right, Uppercut, and on landing a Double Axe Handle).
• Victory Pose: Sebastian Shaw stands alongside fellow Inner Circle members.

Beautiful sprite . Maintaining the motivation of this project can be epic.

My shot in the dark: Frenzy or Sebastian Shaw

I was right (take that NX), and his sprites look great, Dev.

[helio]

 
This is so great! I'm a fan of the Hellfire club too and this is a super-great piece of news. Thank you for working on him.
My idea for him might seem boring for someone but fits the character: make his attacks very basic, nothing athletic, everything rude, and with moderate damage. His main feature would be a Statedef -2 state that increase his power level quicker than usual every time he is hitted (an extra power add besides what the Hitdef could add). Thus, he would reach higher power levels and perform his hypers quickly, which would be based on grab attacks and would be really devastating.
- One grab attack might be based on Colossus spinning throw, as Nx-men suggest in his last picture.
- He might also be helped by Harry Leland in one hyper or special, where Leland increase the oponent mass and make him/her bend and stay undefended for a while, giving Shaw the chance to get closer and perform some other hyper, special or basic attack.
- One level 3 hyper could be an invulneravility state for some seconds, like Arkady's Luke Cage or Apocalypsis have.
Good luck!

Hehe indeed my friend!! I guess the word "neutral" confused me tst!!! 

Btw u gave cool ideas guys!!! 

[warecus]

Great sprite work

[NX-MEN]

I found a pic where Shaw can charge his fist (chi like) and punch the opponent!! 

[dev.]

Love the ideas, guys. Thanks. I will definitely try some after I finish the basics. If any of you have more, I'd be happy to hear them.
