Custom DBFC Akira Yuki W.I.P.

[Sir Ghostler]

Hello.
 
Overview:
When Akira Yuki's DBFC sprites were first ripped and released I saw them and instantly wanted to make a character with them. However, I was reluctant to do so because I didn't want to go through the hassle of indexing them (turns out the rips were already indexed). The motivation I had to make said character had almost completely drained whe Ryon released his version of Akira Yuki. I had no idea what the DBFC button layout/controls were like, but after testing Ryon's Akira and finding out that DBFC has a 3-button layout, I though to myself; "Why has no-one ever tried to make a DBFC or UNIB character with a 3-punch and 3-kick layout?" I then started this W.I.P. in hopes of making the first ever 6-buttoned DBFC/UNIB character for MUGEN.
 
This is my first W.I.P. that I have started from scratch, code-wise.
 

 

Spoiler

I have lost almost all motivation to work on Sagat. He is on hiatus as of two weeks ago.

Ryon - Used the .sff from his Akira Yuki because I was too lazy to group/organise the sprites from scratch and inspiration.
RajaaBoy - Looked at some of his code for reference when I had trouble with some stuff.
N-Mario - Looked at some of his code for reference when I had trouble with some stuff.
Genesis - Helping me out with some problems I had at the start.

Ha i knew it was only a matter of time before another Akira Yuki was made

"Why has no-one ever tried to make a DBFC or UNIB character with a 3-punch and 3-kick layout?"

Because unlike MB, neither of those games have enough normals/specials for something like that. Especially DFC.

Though good luck nonetheless. You'll probably find a way to make it work.

 

Actually DFC is 4 button btw. The 4th button is for support characters but Ryon's Akira doesn't have it since support characters weren't ripped.

Thanks. Gonna sprite a bunch of new moves for Akira. Currently working on new normal attacks for him. Currently, he lacks all crouching kicks and two jump punches.

 

Thanks for the info too.

 

Updated Original Post.

[Sir Ghostler]

Been doing a lot of work since last update.

Updated the main post with a couple of things, including the Movelist. All the specials for the main moveset is done, I may sprite a few more things but for now, they are pretty much complete. He will also have Ex specials.

I have decided to give Akira a dodge mechanic (inspired by Sennou-Room since I got the idea to give him a dodge after using his Kirito for a bit) with a little twist: at the cost of meter, Akira can cancel this dodge into a counter attack (idea of my own). This can be used in multiple ways, such as to bait to the opponent or to stop an attacker mid-pressure.

I will also be taking normals from other characters (such as Kim, Ryu, Mr. Karate) and using them for to fill in for the normals that Akira currently lacks. I am also adding in Akira's voice clips fom DBFC.

One major thing: I didn't mention this earlier but Akira is being made for MUGEN 1.0.

[Sir Ghostler]

Super BG. It's done for now but I may make some changes to it in the future.

Akira will now have Super Cancelling and an Exceed (from SVC). There will be at least 3 Supers and 1 Exceed. Ex Specials have yet to be implemented but they will be worked on soon.

I am also working on some other, secret stuff for him.

[Sir Ghostler]

I changed Akira's x/y scale from 0.36 to 0.33 to match the scale used by Websta's Hyde and Sennou-Room's Kirito.

How far along is this guy anyway I'm curious 

[Crimsonth18]

he still looks good

[TMC55]

This is nice ghost, keep up the good work

Not that far, lol. I've still got a lot to do for him.

Thanks guys!

[Sir Ghostler]

Working on Ex Attacks now.

Akira has recieved a complete gameplay overhaul. He can now chain normals, as well as cancel almost all of his specials into each other, this costs meter however. He can also cancel Ex Specials from regular specials. The cancel itself doesn't cost meter if it is into an Ex Special.

[TMC55]

That's awesome man, your project is going great loving the character

Aside from needing a few little tweaks, all the Ex Specials are finished.

[DarkWolf13]

This is amazing, so they originally don't have a 3-punch/3-kick layout, huh?

Thanks! Yeah, in source there's only 3 buttons, excluding the assist.

[Sir Ghostler]

Added better Ex palfx and afterimage. The previous ones were lacking.

Working on new hitsparks too.

[Ryon]

Thanks Ryon, I appreciate that. :)

Though I've been silent for a while in this topic, I am still working on Akira. I have been refining his attacks and mechanics, giving him special features when up against my other UNIB and DBFC chars and making more sprites for him.

Ex Specials now work similar to how they do in Melty Blood and Under Night In-Birth. Also, Akira's damage and combo potential has been nerfed somewhat.

and combo potential

:c

[Sir Ghostler]

:c

It's mainly his damage that has been nerfed, his combo potential is still pretty great. He really needed nerfs to both anyway since he could do like 70 - 80% damage combos.

[PlasmoidThunder]

I liked the ziggy-zags though.

Did he have a damage dampener? I can't remember.

Yeah, he does. It's kinda basic though.
