Riddler Revamp

[C.R.O.M. Zaxis]

Hey guys, I'm starting a new topic because the old one was locked

Boy do I have a surprise for you guys...

I've decided to pick Riddler back up and completely redesign him with an ENTIRELY new look based off of old designs SuperJoker gave to me waaaaaaaaaay back

(Edit) Trexrell is now helping me touch up the redisgn

 
  Old        New          Newer

The new smart pal. allows for costumes such as:

Looks nice.

About time we see a Riddler on MUGEN

[helio]

Looks really good!
Good luck

[trexrell44]

Modified it a bit.

Love it! I really like the shading you have. It adds real depth.

[WizzyWhipitWonderful]

Looks like you and Trexrell could work together and bring an exclusive Riddler character to M.U.G.E.N. that would be in high demand.

With this style, it is sure to be a winner and an immediate download for everyone's roster.

I know that if he's half as excited as I am, we're going to have a great character on our hands!

The new version looks a lot better, but I'd recommend making the dress shirt black, unless it looks too odd when you try it.

He has a smart pal that allows for most any article of clothing to change color, and black is in his default pal I'm thinking

'White' and 'Eagle' yes?

His baton twirling sprites will come in handy for Riddler's cane.

If only other mugeneers could get 'Clock King' and 'Book Worm' going, the "Black Gate Society" will be complete!

Lol maybe some day! If anyone has any ideas for moves, please feel free to give them here!!

Well, I know I'm definitely hoping for either a cane beatdown super combo that ends with an explosive device thrown at the enemy... OR knockdown to laying on ground -> cane beatdown super combo with an explosive added at the end.

Also, this character would not be complete without adding some kind of Riddler trophy (Arkham series) joke explosive or have one being thrown at the enemy somewhere along the way.

[dev.]

Funny how people are talking about fancy combos when this character has one sprite done and I fear that is all they'll get.

[Superjoker]

its looking good man!

loving the Batzarro pals!

remember this will be a gadget full character! lots of possibilities! read up on his best story arcs for references and tell me if you can answer this:

What kind of room has no doors or windows?

I use Batzarro pals in all my work . I think it is one of the most dynamic color schemes you can do beyond the almost 3d KOF esque pallets.

Well let's not make him real combo heavy here. The tricky thing about Riddler is that he's not exactly a brawling powerhouse. I think a trap/zoner type of fighting style would suit him well.

[kyoman]

Nice design

[trexrell44]

So I noticed he may be a little too small to compare to other Batman characters so I did a small resize. What do you guys think?

Much better!

[ExeLord]

Great start, looking forward to see more!
Also about his playstyle, I think Hazama can be inspiration for some moves http://blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Hazama/Move_List

And Robotics, have him hit a button on the cane. A robot can run in, throw a punch or get kicked and blow up.

I've already for the perfect code in mind.

[HyperVoiceActing]

That resize is much better.

Best of luck with this WIP

Agreed and thank you!

As promised.

* Not sure about the position of the upper body in the first sprite of the second gethit (gut);
* I think the second sprite in the second gethit (gut) could use +1 or +2 px of upper body width (jacket);
* Anyway, there's plenty to do with the first set.
