Gladiacloud's Xmas release: Charizard & Jubilee's mega update

[Gladiacloud]

Gladiacloud here.

First of all, Merry Christmas to all the people of MFFA.

Second, today I wanted to release my new character, but I think he will be not released before of January 2016: in fact I just started coding his basic attacks (but his sprites are fortunately finished).

But today it's Christmas, and it would be disrespectful of me not to make you a small gift. ;D

It is a mega update of two of my characters:

JUBILEE (updated by Shinzankuro)
and
CHARIZARD (updated by Dylanius)

 

SCREENSHOTS:

JUBILEE: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqetQpKH8pFlhHa2b6YO3rY0akOQ

 

Jubilee now has the VS. style system of Shinzankuro, and has a much more solid gameplay and much near to MVC style, (although I proceeded to fix some stuff)

 

Charizard instead, thanks to the willing contribution of Dylanius, has many new features, including the ability to call the Pokemon as assists and a new lv3 supermove where he megaevolves into Megacharizard X (Megacharizard X sprites are made by me)

 

Well, what else to say? Have fun and again Merry Christmas to all. :)

Merry Christmas to thou!

[Ex✭Cᴀʜᴍ]

Gona need a better ball for that Charizard....Tch..

 

Neat!

[Galvatron]

Awesome updates on these!

gonna try them out...

[Solarflared]

At least it blows that MVC2 edit and a rather revolting edit out of the water...at least, in my eyes.

...also, is it me, or are there two charizard files on your OneDrive?

[Gladiacloud]

There are the old Charizard made by me, without updates, and the new charizard (Charizard 2) with updates.

[Solarflared]

That doesn't make sense.
why would anybody want the version without the updates if that's...well, old?

Charizard Feedback: Squirtle's moves do no damage.

waitwhattheydo?
Sigh...y'see, Gladia? This is why I don't do deadlines usually. I overlook certain stuff.
That, and things tend to be bad when they're rushed, and given that I procrastinate often...

The MvC2 edit is a different playstyle entirely :L

Because it's entirely possible that people preferred the old version. Not everyone's a fan of strikers, after all, nor is everyone adept enough to remove them.

More Charizard feedback:

Sunny Day is a bit OP, I recommend making it cost some power bar.

Flare Blitz does too much recoil damage for the move to be worth using.

The fact the code name is Lizardon prevents most peoples special intros and winposes against this Charizard or just versions of Charizard in general from triggering.

The strikers are invincible.

1: If me or Gladiacloud were to do that, we'd have to make the other assist moves cost power too, simply due to consistency.

2: Eh, it's supposed to be a "high risk, high reward" kinda move, but perhaps the recoil could be turned down at some point.

3: Well, I did a similar sort of thing for my Jigglypuff (giving them the internal name of Purin) because the normal name is prooobably rigged by some characters to register him as a female. Then again, we have Bridget.
4: Well...one, Dragonrod didn't provide any gethit sprites for Squirtle and Ivysaur, and two, isn't there one fighting game that has unhittable strikers? Vanguard Princess, wasn't it?

Yeah, I edited that one to be 6-button with a modified hyper.

1: Squirtle's Dynamic Punch could also cost power for consistency. (Because they're both heavy versions)

2: The reward doesn't seem that high when Fire Blast does almost as much damage and Seismic Toss does more damage.

3: ...OK I guess, it's easy to fix anyway.

4: Ask Dragonrod for a hurt sprite if you decide you want to make them hittable.

Even though MVC2 is four-buttoned and not six-buttoned like it's predecesors?

I thought he was making a custom MVC project.

1: (shrug)

2: It's a command throw. What were you expecting?
...oh wait, you also talked about Fire Blast. Hm...damage nerfs  it is, then.
3: Who knows? Maybe I'll switch them back. Maybe we'll keep it.
4: Definitely one of the things we'll need to do in a future update.

I made a few edits to my feedback response while you were typing that post up.

I'm not comfortable with the 4-button system on the keyboard in MUGEN. If I was using a gamepad, that wouldn't be an issue in my end.

I am doing a custom MvC project.

Well, yknow, it depends on your personal preference.
Some people do four-buttons either for accuracy reasons or just because they felt like doing so.

Off-Topic: Those Squirtle sprites :o (If only there was a full sheet...)

On-Topic: Congratz with the update... For future releases, please make sure the life is set at 1000 (its the default life setting)

Charizard's life is lower for balancing purposes.

It was also lower for Jetgoshi's Sceptile (again, for balancing purposes) up until DarkLuigi came along.
