Hey there, it's me

nice work you've done here. It's been a long time since I've looked at anything mugen related. It's pretty flattering this is honestly the first time I think I've seen anything I've done being used it makes me wish I sprited more. Good luck with this

Progress goes really well

I was thinking about what kind of character BladeMan is. He is guide of ancient castle and walking encyclopedia when it comes to swords, but there isn't much more info than this. Would it be out of character to do 360-spin and curtsey special (or hyper's end) like Breakers Revenge's Pierre or SC's Raphael would. Will it be out of character Fruit Ninja intro/winpose - throw fruits in air and chop them in jumping attacks. Probably this BladeMan will define image of his more than Capcom did.

the fans usually do that anyway. sometimes the companies even follow the fans definition of characters, simply because that's how they are perceived by the public now.

Yeah, you are right. BTW, also glad to see someone who likes Warriors series too. Was playing in Samurai Warriors 4-II with custom character with twin swords before monitor died on me (honestly, it's one after another, even month hadn't passed since I replaced dead stabilizer, have no cash for new one now, so monitor waits for replacement, I'd be super glad to lift at least sprite cleaning from Ilu's shoulders now, ehh...) so the game could be used for references.

yeah, I have samurai warriors 3 on the wii (which I play on my wii u). it's good. it's a bit slower paced than the standard warriors games, which took a little getting used to at first, but i'm loving it. can't wait to get a PS4. all the good warriors games I don't have system for are on it.

but yes, several characters from the warriors games to draw inspiration from. maybe not copy some of their moves, but at least check them out and maybe get an idea for another move.

and I hear ya about the monitors. had the same problem with controllers a while back. money's tight, and when your controllers just keep pooping out on you, it makes you want to pull your hair out.

SUGGESTION! SUGGESTION! SUGGESTION! SUGGESTION!

use sword man's move! flame blade I think it's called. might work for one of the power sets? but then again, this one's so obvious you probably already thought of it.

Thanks man. You are always a good friend.
And thanks everyone for the support.

Mudy is helping me to clean some sprites. This is the taunt/win animation, already cleaned

Very nice.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #33 on:** January 04, 2016, 10:00:02 PM »

Thanks. I will add some blur effect on the last frame. Do it needs one more frame (transition)?

ExeLord · « **Reply #34 on:** January 04, 2016, 10:28:00 PM »

He can beam out after that animation

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #35 on:** January 04, 2016, 10:46:41 PM »

Hum, maybe.
And I can make a variation where he bows, to greeting the fighter.

This would work well as a taunt, especially if it causes damage if the opponent gets close!

As far as powersets goes, I think most bladed weapons could work well, like Metal Blade, Shadow Blade, Tengu Blade (notice a pattern?), Boomerang Cutter, Flame Sword and Silver Tomahawk.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #37 on:** January 05, 2016, 10:33:29 AM »

Good idea!

Yeah, I got the pattern. I haven't reached the powersets yet, but it would be cool if we could already discuss something about it.

ExeLord · « **Reply #38 on:** January 05, 2016, 11:10:07 AM »

Was thinking about other Men with no arms, but that isn't nice theme. Though I'd like to see different usage of CrashMan's weapon, like uppercut leaving drills inside enemy exploding in the air. $\-/o$

* Rolling Cutter: Boomerang-like projectile. Could hit twice.
* Metal Blade: Multi-hitting projectile.
* Shadow Blade: Multiple single-hit projectiles.
* Silver Tomahawk: Projectile which goes up in an arc.
* Flame Sword: Close range attack, burns the opponent. Could add extra properties like stun or guard crush.
* Tengu Blade: Ricocheting projectile.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #40 on:** January 05, 2016, 06:47:30 PM »

Nice ideas! I will use some of them for sure.

Uche_of_IMT · « **Reply #41 on:** January 05, 2016, 08:10:38 PM »

I will wait to see some of these ideas implemented as well.

cheddarsworld · « **Reply #42 on:** January 05, 2016, 09:07:10 PM »

HAH! I FOUND IT! protodude made a blog post about the Nintendo power article I mentioned before! it even shows the drawing itself!

http://www.rockman-corner.com/2010/01/mm10s-blade-man-solar-man-inspired-by.html

not TOO far from the final product really. also, this contest was held for mega man 6 WAY back in the day, with Wind Man and Knight Man being the winners.

BONUS: the article shows Sun Man as well, who bears a strong resemblance to mega man 10's Solar Man.

huh? why did I post this? well, i thought maybe a little tribute or homage might be nice, but at the very least, it's worth noting.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #43 on:** January 06, 2016, 01:27:37 AM »

Thanks for the info!

cheddarsworld · « **Reply #44 on:** January 06, 2016, 02:17:18 AM »

no problem. curious to see what, if anything, you do with it.

you know, as an alternate pallete, you could use colors from characters like Leonardo or even, dare I say it, Edward scisorhands! ...although Edward would likely turn out to be just monochrome colors, and the reference would be lost.

hey, here's an idea. maybe for a power set. draws in one or both swords, and switches out for cutman's scissors. as for what he does with them, that's up to you, though I don't imagine you want to go to far into the realm of projectiles with him.

you know, you really might want to consider some of cervantes' throws from soul caliber. stab through, then lift and throw I think... or maybe stab through and then kick off... I am one SICK individual...

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #45 on:** January 06, 2016, 11:33:41 PM »

Guys...I managed to dominate a cool technique we use in 3D programs. This makes the animations way more fluid!

Take a look (ignore the lack of black borders)

He looks like Bruce Lee

Uche_of_IMT · « **Reply #46 on:** January 06, 2016, 11:56:57 PM »

Wow! This does make it more fluid.

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #47 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:21:25 AM »

Thanks. I really liked the result a lot.
I still need to clean the sprites

ExeLord · « **Reply #48 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:28:30 AM »

D-D-D-DOMINATION! $\-/o$

Will he have jeet kune do moves?

O Ilusionista · « **Reply #49 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:47:32 AM »

Thanks!
No, he has some Pencak Silat moves. But he has some inspiration in Jet Kune Do too.
