* Custom MUGEN Characters 1500 Series

 

- source game: Shin Shinobi Den (Sega Saturn)
- intro: Some Sega Shinobi fans dislike this Sega Saturn version, yet I only care whether it has MUGEN potential or not....
- plan: all custom moves and perhaps source game super moves to be kept
- sprites: being ripped by Borewood, by his half-assly "take-screenshots-and-clean-images" method
* I could not find any rips of this Shin Shinobi Den game anywhere so I had to do it myself....
- sounds: FessX's SSF can let me rip all the Shin Shinobi Den sounds I need

Again, nice one...

 

Didn´t had much time to test, but...

 

 - normal jump is way too low, make him jump higher... Why not use that great rolling animation in his jump, like you used for the air Shurikens? Animation looks so smooth in the source game...

normal jump too low?  well, his normal jump height is about KFM's level which I think is appropriate, for I already gave Shou a running high jump.

 

in the Sega Saturn source game, Shou has two levels of jumps, 1st is the one you consider too low in MUGEN, 2nd one is the spinning one I used for Shou's air Shurikens and Shinobi Spin (D,DB,B, x/y/z) in MUGEN.

 

I think I have already ripped all of Shou's jump animations from (SSF Sega Saturn emulator by FessX).  If you recall my old Golden Axe The Duel Kain Blade and Golden Axe final boss then you know I used the same SSF emulator to rip most of their sprites.

 

And, by looking at the number of SF4 Juri Han and Omni and SSFIV AE PC Oni "2.5D sprites" I ripped, I guess you don't have to doubt the power of my current PC when it comes to game emulator ripping..........because I usually rip as many frames as I can see on my screen.....

[Staubhold]

Maybe it has something to do with that low clsn on his leg while jumping...

Try it, sometimes I can´t jump WITH Shinobi over Shinobi...

Stand clsn needs a little work on the head...

 

Maybe you can position p2 in the Ultimate Technique of Ninjutsu hyper that he get´s hit by the end of the sword and not so near to the hilt. How about adding some Shinobi X blood effect?

 

NERDGASM... If I remember correct, Shinobi had a double jump in the Mega Drive games (hitting jump twice), and he would do that rolling animation after the normal jump in that games... Dunno how it was in Shinobi X. Just sayin´... XD

 

IMO Shadow Dancer after images have to look "more solid", this "blue" doesn´t fit. Dunno how and if he had that move in Shinobi X and I can´t remember how it looked in those Mega Drive games...

 

I really enjoy how much passion and work I can see in your creations! Keep up the good work!

- used HitDef Snap= 70, 0 to move P2 close to the sword red hit box when P2 is hit by the Ultimate Technique of Ninjutsu (a/b/c)

 

 

 

As for the source game blood VFX, I actually tried to rip but failed.......just too hard..........

Well, the Sega Saturn version also uses press-jump-button-twice to make Shou double jump.  Shou's 1st jump is like that, both in the source game and in MUGEN.  I just used the 2nd double jump animation (rolling/spinning) for Shou's air Shurikens and Shinobi Spin (D,DB,B, x/y/z) in MUGEN, so it is one of the inaccurate part that I made.

[Staubhold]

WOW, you´re fast...

Good update!

Maybe use MK blood sprites?

It´s not all about "source accuracy" (p.e. can´t rip the blood from the source game, use a fitting substitute instead). It´s good the way you made it.

awesome, i think i might have been one of the only people i knew that liked this shinobi game , thanks for the release 

[Staubhold]

Again, add a AssertSpecial with flag = nomusic to the intro, win & ko animation. The intro/win/ko music is so low, you can´t hear it in his own stage...

[Werewood]

update_notes_2013-08-12b: - added blood splash effect for all slashes - increased the volume of intro, KO, and win music - added AssertSpecial flag = nomusic for intro, KO, and win states  

Please re-download the Custom_Shinobi_Shou_2013-08-12b.zip :)

 

And thank you Staubhold and ZombieBrock for your kind support!

[Darklight]

this is awesome

[Staubhold]

Good update!

 

Love the blood effect!

 

Looks like the nomusic AssertSpecial is not working properly. BG music starts way to soon in the intro (you can still hear the Shinobi intro music, but the stage music already kicks in) and it´s NOT working in his KO animation. Win is working fine...

I see........well I will see what I can do to fix this........thank you again!

Great! Working nicely now...
