Punisher World Warzone (Alpha 1_O)

[O Ilusionista]

I loved the intro, really nice work!

[kyoman]

Jigsaw is a nice idea for the project.

[ELECTRO]

Early preview of Andore. I figured it was a good idea to invest in this character seeing how I can use the base to make Abigail. Right now he is unplayable, but I'm trying to make his combat good enough to be a playable character.

[ELECTRO]

Finished up Punisher's smart palette for more costume options & reworked his moveset. He has 2 new specials which are a rolling shotgun & a new throw. The rolling shotgun was a way to give Punisher a launcher move. The new throw has a variety of attacks which you can see in the preview video. I also gave Punisher a new air hyper, since he has a new launcher move with the rolling shotgun I thought it would be cool to have these moves potentially combo. Older hypers have also been updated to look cooler or be more effective.

[O Ilusionista]

Nice work buddy! The color separation is awesome!
I liked the launcher and the spinning shoot hyper move.

My only feedback is: I think its better to make the rope simple reel out upward (with a wire sound) instead of just vanishing.

[ELECTRO]

That's a pretty good idea. I'll give that a try.

[ELECTRO]

The game update will be released sometime next month. Punisher character is now complete. I like the way he plays & don't see a need a to add anymore moves. However I will be adding more to him in the way of intros, win poses, costumes & little stuff like that. Punisher's Hit & Run hyper has been altered if your on a stage where is Van can't drive. For example, in the video the Van should not able to drive on top of the elevator. Instead an alternate hyper will play.

Punisher costume options:

1 = Smart palette
2 = Classic
3 = Thunderbolt
4 = Warzone
5 = What If (Punisher was an agent of Hydra)
6 = Captain America

Wolverine Costume options:

1 = Smart Palette
2 = Classic
3 = X-Force
4 = Brown suit
5 = What If (Wolverine was an agent of Hydra)
6 = Blue & Yellow

 

[O Ilusionista]

Nice work on the smart pal, buddy!
If I ever add Punisher to my game, do you let me use your sprites?

and wow, so brutal!

[ELECTRO]

Of course you can use my sprites.

[ELECTRO]

Mardia is guarding the Ninja House. Not sure if she will be playable or not. I started this character as quick nonplayable character to fight early in the arcade mode. After a couple of days work it's starting to look like she might be playable. The melee attacks are going to be limited of course, but other than that she's got a good amount of moves.

[O Ilusionista]

Nice! Looking at her sprites, I think she has enough sprites to give her a power bomb throw (make a hyper), take a look:

(updated image)

For the hyper, she could slam the enemy two times on the floor without jumping, then jumping high and slam it one more time - maybe even spinning with it.
I have a cool fx I use on my Avengers game which could fit here:

[ELECTRO]

Yamato is a new playable character. He's got some decent range with his melee attacks which do good damage. His smoke bombs can keep opponents trapped & his ninjas provide good support.

@O Ilusionista That's a good idea. I don't know if you seen her throw in the video, but there is a move similar to it already with her normal throw. So maybe your idea would work well for a special throw.

[O Ilusionista]

Yamato? Cool. And nice use of Zankuro effects.
Will we see a Captain Commando too?

[ELECTRO]

Captain Commando confirmed.

[ELECTRO]

Now that Mardia & Yamato are in the game it was time to give Musashi a badly needed update. All his old moves have been overhauled to work differently. He can now throw his sword in Bishamon fashion to pull enemies close or lunge to his sword. He has a new hyper called Ancestors Wraith where he summons his ancestors to slice up his opponent.

[dev.]

Honoured to say that I've been watching this project since day one. It's growing up to be up there with O Ilu's or zvitor's games. Keep up the good work, buddy

The game is getting another overhaul. I'm removing the power cost to use your team-up partner. Probably going to nerf Damage or the Get Power of the team partner to compensate. The Kingpin of Crime is also being added to the game and will be in the next update. Here is a very early preview of Kingpin. Things I want to add to him is a hyper that randomly hires super villains to jump on the battlefield and attack.

[O Ilusionista]

oh nice. I like the idea of he having minions.

Have you saw how Kingpin works on Marvel Strike Force? you can draw some ideas from there.

Even though he is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter (he once defeated a large group of Hand ninjas practically in his underwear), in the game he uses his greatest power: the power of money corruption.

He abuses his bodyguard - when he enters the scene, he already summons one (which receives all attacks for having Taunt) and he can call 2 to 3 additional bodyguards, up to the limit of 9.

Adapting to your project, maybe he can appear in the fight with a minion on screen. After all, he really plays dirty

Btw, someone had ripped a lot of Ninja Warriors Once Again sprites and they may be useful to you: https://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/theninjawarriorsonceagaintheninjasaviorsreturnofthewarriors/

[ELECTRO]

Thanks for all the advice!

[ELECTRO]

Another preview of Kingpin. He now has 2 new hypers. The first one is a team hyper where Kingpin calls in a super villain to attack. For now the villain is Crossbones, but more will be added in the future. The second hyper is an air grab and then Kingpin slams the opponent onto the ground then stabs them with the sharp end of his cane. I've also added a new throw special where Kingpin charges the opponent and then tosses them against the wall. I forgot to mention in my last post that Kingpin will be playable.

[ELECTRO]

Last preview of Kingpin before release. I've added a stage finisher trap to Kingpin. It activates if you do a standing or crouching melee attack for the final hit of the match. This trap only works if your on one of Kingpin's 3 stages. Planning on releasing the game update in mid March. I've also decided to release a normal Mugen version of Kingpin like I did with Punisher and Haggar for those who don't want to play this game, but still would like to use Kingpin.

[O Ilusionista]

That stage fatality looks so brutal. And I liked the hyper where Kingpim jumps and stomps the enemy with his cane.

[ELECTRO]

Added a dinosaur stage finisher & a vapor chamber stage finisher to the game. I've also gone back over the older stage finishers and tweaked them to play/trigger better. I've also added a few new stages to the game, so every character on the roster should now have a proper stage when playing through the Arcade mode. I've also made Jigsaw & Sodom playable characters. My plan is to release the update next Friday 3/17/2023.

[ELECTRO]

Captain Commando is being added and is playable. Going to try and add most of his moves from MVC2, but I also want to give him a few unique moves to keep things fresh. Thanks to O Ilusionista, who let me use his Captain Commando sprite edits.
