Fair Warning before viewing this video, I've already made note of most all things that will be changed from the final edit which includes:

-Altering and evenually changing the hitspark - On the Video it's all based on 1 XY axis but the final version will have multiple hitspark on mutiple XY points.

-KFM sound will be altered.

-Falling alignment and Proximity alignment will also be altered.

-New intro and Van intro both are still pending on sounds.

So with that being said....

Well this past week, I've been more offline then normally when I'm at home (damn GTA IV, LoL). Just working on some new animations and corrections on my Punisher Beta. I've actually been itching to released his progress news this month, as well as these past couple daze (forum downtime), but I've been trying to wait til I have a decent bundle of stuff to announce - well here's a small updated list as of 05/11/08:

-Finished the Capt. Punisher hyper Spritesheet  - 100%; and cut them into Punisher.Def

-Two new beta hypers added (Ground Pound Hyper revised and re coded/Capt. Punisher Hyper) both playable in game, tho I'm still in the middle of coding the Captain Punisher hypers, it still needs some minor coding between changestates but it's more the 75% beta coded. The Ground Pound hypers animations are kinda fast so I'm still tweakin with it as well.

-Altered the Helicopter Hyper - Hits have been increased, still need to make changes to the damage.

- Began revising the coding of the assault weapon bullets (handgun, M4, Ak, ect.) I'm switching the script from a Punch based coding to a projectile based coding for a better feel while fighting. 

-Created a Intro Storyboard that's slowly being made Mugen friendly (includes MP3 music from the Punisher Movie suggested by Tenspeed)

Opening Screenshots:





 
More comming soon, Stay tuned guys!

Still not an official Punisher release video, but I finally got sounds and a better recording frame rate out of my computer so I felt like making another video to pass the time. Not too many major updates, still sitting on all the new stuff. 

I figure I'd also start this month off by announcing that I've recently been focusing on Punisher's close range attacks as well as re-editing one of his lastest move additions; Punisher's Flipping Grab:

Tenspeed pitched an idea to me the other day, in reguards the how Punisher's flip should end. I visually seen it being suitable and created off of his idea... (Mind you this is fresh from the blueprints of Punisher's archive.)

Back on Topic...

-Added new animation: Grab N' Flip Custom Animation. (20 sprite count animation, not yet in game)

a nice touch would be him throwing a grenade into the now airborn enemy, having them blow up in mid air.

And later via PM...

I was thinking more that he'd pull a grenade out and throw it at the airborne body before it lands.

something like this:



now that I think about it though, you could have him throw them, and then remote detonate a bomb that he stuck to them while throwing them...

The animation on the Left is my original animation I intended for Punisher's Flipping throw finish; Punisher would flip the opponent but itself of lanching him into the air, he would be planting him on the grounds, then dumps rounds into him and kicked him out of the way.

The animation on the Right is my lastest creation from Tenspeed's idea. Punisher grabs the opponent and fits him with a explosives, then launches the opponent into the air before toggle the detenation device. (Corrected; Thx .BZ.  )   

So here are my two versions:


I'm pretty content with Tenspeed idea over my own. Now it's more the matter of if my animation is worth keeping around in game or not...maybe i can find room for it in a hyper... or maybe just junk it... IDK... Point is, I am still very open to any sugguestions you'd like to see with Punisher while theres still time in development, so long as it's within reasonable grounds worth discussing.

All I got for now...

Introduction (a moment of your time please...)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: What your about to witness is W.I.P development of MvC Punisher to date. In this video:

 - I've incorporated most every move, but my Snagit still lags, so in the video you will see
 slight repetitions in punch and kick attacks as I'm trying to correctly round out my commands.   
 
- There is No sound.

- Missing Animations from Gameplay - Ground Pound.

- Anything and Everything is subject to change.


Pre-Fight Commentary
--------------------------------------------
Once again apologizes on the choppy  video, I almost didn't want to put this video up because it doesn't service justice to how well Punisher actually plays in game. I wanted to start the video with each Punisher doing an alternate introduction, and in his DEF file, Punisher has a 3 intro random cycle, so it took me a second just to find a start having two different intros.

The video itself consist of 4 extended rounds to be sure that even if it lags, the move would be seen again (hopefully with better clarity) to gain an understanding of his actual gameplay.

Without father ado...

Post Fight Commentary
---------------------------------------------
I wanted to release this video so you all can bare witness to his growth and development to date, as well as to what dynamic changes and additions are still to come. With his better half, Nick Fury not far behind, I'm curious to see just what will happen when I push myself beyond the limits creating this character.

NEW: Exclusive Punisher Beta Video 

:+:WARNING:+:

Before you view this video, I would like a moment of your time to note some things to you to clarify for the record.

-There will be at least 1 more video made prior to Punisher's release...

-There is no audio.

-SnagIt lags my MUGEN, so video is choppy.

-Punisher is still a beta, hints why you'll see areas of missing animation. Animations pending...

-This is my first video ever made. I just downloaded SnagIt for the simple purpose of giving you all a sample of where Punisher stands today.

-Props to Excursion and his brother for the intro and the shotgun. Patent pending...

-Missing Pending Moves from video: Proximity Mine and AK attack...


-Animation: Bazooka Hyper subject to change.

-Small Portrait subject to change.

  Hello readers and thank you once again from taking time to check out my work in progress.

For those who aren't familiar with me, I go by the name "aPoCaLyPsE", and ever since I first discovered mugen sometime last year, I've been forever debtful and soon decided one day to make my own MUGEN character....And today here he stands:

  MVC_Punisher

Punisher been in development for the past six months now (Since 11/26/07) and is damn near 100% completed in Phase 1, and NOW PREPARING FOR PHASE 2. I'm editing all the sprites one by one and programming on the side, with newly aquired assistance from select consultants. ( -^__^- )v
 
ANY IDEAS FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS CHARACTER MAY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

...as I'm trying to bring in a character into MUGEN that should have been a decent mugen character from day one. Looking for comments and critism people. Thank you and enjoi the shots. (-'_^ )b

[cHoMp]

it looks good so far but fix those images they don't show up

[Kriven]

My only complaints are:

He's HUGE. I never imagined Punisher being so musclebound.

And the live-action picture. Try to get someone to make you a more MvC big portrait.

Other then that, I look forward to this, who's the chick in this pic?  http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a22/aPoCaLyPsE2004/beta6.jpg

[b.easy]

this looks really promising if you touch it up a little. the bottom of his skull emblem looks a little weird in the shots, it could use some shading, it looks a little strange how it overlaps the belt. this is probably a personal preference, but i don't like the small portrait and hyper portraits. other than that, it looks like a prety cool Cable edit.

Fair enough, I was thinking about changing the live action picture too, but I needed a quick filler for the time being. It will probably be changed later as I'm fine toothing the characters for it's final verision unless someone would be up for the challenge of making a MvC Big portrait and gaining a spot in the credits of my character. Oh and the lady in the sprite is CCI Kula from the King of Fighters Series.

Yeh, it does clash a little in the stomach/bet area of the skull but i can assure you it looks a lot better when it's actually in motion, the sprites kinda blend from the angles of the attack and the time i can get off the controller to take the shot. Some of these shots don't serve justice, tho i do intended to make visual changes once the basic animations are in stone. Noting the Hyper Portrait thing too.

-"aPoC."

[~Wolfpaul~]

Wow it looks cool! Cant wait for this 

[ATiC3]

Yeah, definitely touch-up the skull on his uniform.. I think it's supposed to be two main lines going down.. not 5 or 6.. . Touch-up the Hyper Portrait, as well.

[C.R.O.M. jodafro619]

Finally Big Pun gets done on mugen!! Good jod man. Is my man in the van that gives him weapons gonna make an appearance? Or maybe an intro with him in the Captain America/Punisher costume? Anyways good luck on the character!

[Captain Cold]

Finally Big Pun gets done on mugen!! Good jod man. Is my man in the van that gives him weapons gonna make an appearance? Or maybe an intro with him in the Captain America/Punisher costume? Anyways good luck on the character!

those are really good ideas i like the cap costume idea 

[Whoblehwah]

Looks promising. I agree about the Hyper Portrait though. I do think the Nick Fury sprite doesn't look good though. A MvC char should have a MvC styled striker.

[R.I.C.O - Teros]

Besides what has been mentioned, he looks very pormising. Keep it up

[Weapon x program]

SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS it s been some time now i was waiting someone do a punisher character, great.

[nopihina]

he have the rocket launcher with bb hood missle and jill's launcher and he have bb hood uzi

[DARKTALBAIN]

Yeah this Punisher looks pretty good ! I also do not like the small portraits or the hyper portraits . Also the knee pads coming off the boots should go .  Keep it up we needed a good Punisher for mugen .

Good luck with this .

[MuηkyMØÜf]

Looks promising

Except

The teeth of the Skull. You should shorten them and shade it a bit.
The hair is blue? You should just use a lighter shade of black or dark grey.
I like the portraits but the hyper img should be cropped instead of a black square.

The missiles fire from behind the barrel holes of the launcher


Honestly, good luck with it. Im sure it will only get better

[celobateira]

Man that's gonna be huge, congratulations

[.Batzarro.]

Looking really great. I may try doing the MvC hyper pic for him if I have time. I've already done a few so I know how to. Can't wait to try him out though.

[REDHOT]

It´s very good man.
Just one thing, for me Punisher is very veeeery similar to cable (in sprites), try to change something in the legs or in the stance.
Good luck in this punisher!

[giammo84]

Punisher is one of my favourite chars, I wish you all the best...finally someone has decide to create him!
  =P~Good luck and tell us everynews about it

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Besides some problems this punisher looks Very good!

[Diek Stiekem]

Looking very promising!
If you want to keep him MvC style, ditch the old-skool Punisher & Nick Fury assist imho

Good luck on him

[Lothar-Ex]

Well i took me only like 5 minutes but heres a MvC Hyper portrait for punisher
Good luck on your wip   

[aPoCaLyPsE]

Well i took me only like 5 minutes but heres a MvC Hyper portrait for punisher
Good luck on your wip   

Wow...what love.

If i would have known that i was going to this much support and advice i would have posted him up back in December. Thanks Sonic7 for the MvC Hyper portrait, I'll probably use it was all rights to you, if thats ok? Any special name to credit it to? Let me know, As for what i've read from you all, i just want to thank you agian and note not to fail you all with this character. keep the critism comming tho. As for all updated for Punisher this point on, I will be modifying my first post here  and there with all the latest news, looking for a beta release hopefully by the next month   soon, unless noted otherwise. (-'_^- )b

-"aPoC."

[Acey]

He's HUGE. I never imagined Punisher being so musclebound.

very nice for your interpretation of The punisher

I think he's very porportioned to his comic book equivalent, especially for his 1980s icon apperance as drawn by Jim Lee, which is very different than the skinner movie version.



Not to sure about the mini Punisher and Nick Fury running around... Mini me?

Keep working on those sprites, you'll have a great character in the end.

[dafamily]

agreed with everyone else here this is truly an awesome character, can't wait until he's done!!
