I'm currently hard at work making his basic attacks.  Once I complete that I'll post a nice new video. 

[O Ilusionista]

I'm currently hard at work making his basic attacks.  Once I complete that I'll post a nice new video. 

looks so clean, but in his intro, he has the Buster on the right arm, and then appears on the left, I understand that the problem of "ambidextrous" characters exists from the beginning when sprites are used, but perhaps at least in the intro you can flip the sarcophagus sprite.
It is a small fault, easy to solve, but when the fault is small it is because there is a lot well done, it looks great, from the best jobs.

[laspacho]

Thanks.  I can't wait to show off everything I've made recently.
I can very easily flip the sarcophagus sprite.  Thanks for pointing that out.

[Rage]

Looking good here. wish i could do this for Cinni. Cant wait to see more.

[O Ilusionista]

Very nice indeed. Have you already planned the power sets?
He could use some sand attacks

I have a couple things in mind for power sets but I haven't given it to much thought yet.  I
One idea was to try and come up with a different way to use Stoneman's wall weapon.  (Which Gutsman currently has as a power set weapon.)

Thanks for the idea.  Some sand attacks would be a good idea and fitting.  I'm not familiar with Naruto.  I just looked at the character in a video quick.  I can mimic and do some of the hand/arm gestures so we can do some of that stuff.  It's added this to my to do list.

[Magma MK-II]

A trap and a curse move would fit him really well.

Take a look at the boss fights agains Anubis Necromancess in the Megaman Zero games, he's got some nice stuff that could be used.

The pillars or sand could be used.  I'll toss the sprites into my folder.

I now have all 18 basic attacks completed. 
I'm going to work on the blocks next, then make additional get hits and knock backs.

[laspacho]

All of Pharaoh's basics are now complete. 
I also flipped the sarcophagus sprite.  Good eye Tyrannosuarex.

I'm now making the Rmm required sprites.  The Dodge, Slide, Weapon Change, and Push Blocks.

[laspacho]

I'm starting to think about a few things Pharaoh can say. 
Do you guys have any suggestions on what he can say in an intro or winpose for instance?

[ExeLord]

I wonder if it'll be appropriate for him to think that he's a gods' descendant even though being a robot. Something about pyramids' curse can work. Lines about opponent hurrying to his own tom or mummification... Something about Ra's powers, maybe saying about praying to him Or even giving Sphinx's riddle 
He is intelligent robot on a good guys' side, but still proud one and with egyptian gods' influence making him feel empowered...

Those are excellent idea's.  Please try and come up with a couple sample lines using those ideas for a intro or winpose.  A riddle would be excellent too.

Then I'm sure Pharaoh man can say something when he comes at you with a Hyper like this..


The other big question is what show Pharaoh man sound like?  Something with a gurgle to his voice?  Perhaps make him sound scary and reminiscent of Lord Zedd?

[ExeLord]

I like those giant palms

Well, guess I need to strain my mind powers again for this task.... hnnnnngh!
"By the power of Ra!", "May the mighty Ra watch over me!", "I'll send you straight to Seth!", "You have no chance, I have a wisdom of ancients!", "By pyramids might!", "May the Isis shield protect me!", "Behold of the power of Egyptian gods!", "Who dares to touch my sarcophagus!?", "You are so eager to be mummified?"
"The eye of Ra warned me about your coming."
"There's no way of breaking ancient curses!", "Where are you hurrying to? Your own tomb?", "I'll mummify you easily."
"Who walks on two legs at dawn and on four on sunset? You after my beating.", "What flies high into the sky and drops instantly down? Your ego after feeling my power."
"Your hurry led you to eternal rest.", "Your rest will be eternal in my pyramid.", "Pray to the Ra for forgiveness.", "I'll make a sarcophagus for you."
"I'll be waiting for the next challenger in my sarcophagus.", "Nobody learns from the history.", "I knew your mistakes beforehand."
"Sorry, but your princess is in another pyramid."
Something like those...

That is excellent.  Thank you very much.

I can see the finish line in the distance!
I'm very close to finishing the sprites.
Only one more move, a winpose, and some misc sprite fixes to go.   

[O Ilusionista]

Nice, I think he will turn into a great character.
But what about his voices?I think I have a friend of mine which would enjoy voicing him.

[laspacho]

Other then a winpose I would like to try and make Pharaoh man's sprites are now completed.
I also have a voice actor for him.

If anyone has dialog ideas to fill 14 slides for Pharaohman's ending I'd love to hear them.   
(Elecman and Needleman need ending dialog ideas too.)

[LoKoLoKo]

Elecman and Needleman!?!?
That was a spoiler!?!?
A hint of what's to come!?!?
The truth is out there ...

[O Ilusionista]

Elec Man is no surprise

[riot]

I believe that it miss yellow on arms.

I like Pharaoh Man.

Gotta start the hype for those of you who regularly visit the forum sometime.  December is coming up quick.

I believe that it miss yellow on arms.

I like Pharaoh Man.

Depending on the game and the official artwork Pharaoh man's hand arm varies in color between yellow and white.  In Megaman 4 it was yellow.  My choice was to make white like he appeared in Power Fighters.  I liked how that looked best.   

See below for some examples with the official artwork and official game sprites:

[ExeLord]

That yes, but you may recolor his chest and buster parts of arms to some completely different colors and that'll give possibility to have all his looks as palettes... Just saying
Though I do agree this fits him best and should be default choice
