Varia31

UPDATE 1/11/2025 The edits made in this update are based on some feedback I received. I've tried to balance her projectile game mainly since she has proven to be far too good at it, as well as her guard push being too effective. The added evasion move and the beams being mapped to commands instead of distance triggers should open up for more setup options. I hope this makes Samus more enjoyable to use, as well as fight against. -All Beam Moves are now mapped to commands rather than triggering at a distance -Samus now has an evasion move that is triggered by either Light Punch + Light Kick or Medium Punch + Medium Kick. -Going off feedback I received, all projectile moves have more startup time and end lag -Guard Push has been nerfed so that it isn't overly good at shoving enemies so far away -The AI has been tweaked to be less spammy with projectiles so that it isn't as frustrating to fight against

Hey, just to add to the collection, here is my new version of Samus:

Hi, just wanted to add to this. I released a new version of Samus:

After years of working on her on and off, I have finally completed my new version of Samus Aran for MUGEN! The reveal of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond gave me the motivation needed to finish making this, so in honor of that, this final version of what was previously "Samus Reloaded" is now named "Samus Beyond." Video demonstration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yFTsnBN3Fk Here are the download links. Enjoy!

Hmm, even so, maybe I'll do something like put a cool down so it doesn't activate every single time Dixie is hit to keep it from being abused. No problem. I hope you look forward to the final version later! Also, "all 3?" Samus is almost done, but my Optimus Prime is already fully complete if you would like to check him out! He's available in this thread.

Hey all. Thanks for sharing this here! @Pluscross I assume you're talking about the rage mechanic I put in for when Dixie gets hurt. Any ideas on how I could balance that better? @Nodog By standing medium kick are you referring to his tail swings? I can remedy that. I didn't really test that enough to notice if it was an infinite or not. I can change up the projectiles a bit more so that, one, they can be hit, and two, maybe change up the properties, like the bounce of the grenade. Any other ideas are appreciated. I apologize that Diddy took so long to even reach Beta status. The reason he took so long is due to several factors. A big part is that I lost interest in the project, dedicating more time to Optimus Prime and my Samus remake, and on top of that, as I was becoming a college senior I became so busy that I barely had time to even play video games. Now that I'm graduated I finally have more time on my hands for the time being. I actually rushed to put out this beta due to people who were asking for it. Now that I can focus, I'm actually going to be redoing some of his moves and mechanics to function better. Right now he sorely lacks reach, for one thing, along with some of the issues you all have listed so far and then some. Compared to how pleased I am with how Optimus turned out, and how Samus is coming along, I'm honestly not happy with Diddy as he is right now.

Nah, you're good. I forgot to come back here to let you guys know the link got frozen and that I made a SendSpace link. I've been busy... Go ahead and keep your MEGA link. Thanks!

It's Varia31. I released the full version of my Optimus Prime if you want to update the link. What you have right now is the beta. Here is the full version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w1i4774venavjns/Orion Pax.zip?dl=0

He's here, everyone! Optimus is finally finished. Please enjoy, and let me know if there are any bugs. Movelist included in the character folder. DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#!UU9HUY6R!FlhV330xB4XoX168I_LXDesaL3DlveG0CAOB4zu9br8

Surprise, everyone! I have been secretly working on none other than the kunoichi named Hibana from Nightshade! For those unfamiliar, Nightshade (aka "Kunoichi" in Japan) is the sequel to Shinobi for PS2, which is of course part of SEGA's Shinobi series. Hibana is the main playable protagonist in Nightshade, and she is one awesome female ninja! Hibana is a simple, 3-button character with stand, crouch, and air attacks, as well as three Hypers and a taunt! Her special attribute is her Stealth Dash ability. Taken straight from Shinobi PS2 and Nightshade, the Stealth Dash allows Hibana to dash in an almost teleportation type manner, leaving an afterimage in her wake. It can even be used in the air! The dash replaces her "run forward" and "hop back" movements, and is a great way to get behind an enemy, or to simply avoid taking damage from an enemy. Sprites come courtesy of Project X Zone 2 for the 3DS, ripped by Ploaj of the Spriter's Resource. Moveset list is included as a text file in the character folder. Please enjoy!

Yep! I have nothing more to add to him. He has his new Level 3, some new sound and animations, and some balancing tweaks and technical fixes and changes. But... you never know if Sweet Tooth will return some day... stronger, and madder than before.

Hey all! Sweet Tooth has been updated one final time! This update features new sounds, animations, balancing tweaks, and a new win pose! This update has too many things going for it to just be a simple CNS or SFF patch, so the whole character will need to be downloaded again. Like last time, either download Sweet Tooth by himself, or download the Editing Kit package if you want to make your own version! Enjoy the changes, and stay twisted, boys and girls!

Don't worry everyone, this project is still going. I've just been slowed down lately due to the job I'm working. Here is an update on how Diddy is coming along so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kxy8CRNxnw

Ummm... 30%, maybe? lol Traveling over spring break slowed me down.

Thanks! I'm trying to work quickly (but efficiently) on this one. :)
