Flandre Scarlet [UPDATED - 12/09/20]


Recommended Posts

Whoa hey, so I decided to edit RicePigeon's Flandre.

Spoiler

 

 

The idea to rework her moveset dates back to early February, but it took a while to plan everything out and subsequently edit it all in, plus a month or so of beta testing and such; also remember to factor in my innate ability to procrastinate like nobody's business.

 

I'll be brutally honest, while at first I was OK with Flan's moveset, I gradually grew to dislike it over time because to me it just feels like an amalgamation of two completely different characters whose movesets don't really work well together at all, much less on a character who was stated to have unrelenting rushdown and close-range pressure. In short, I found her boring and incredibly linear; that is of course my opinion, so don't take that as fact.

 

That's enough of me being unnecessarily mean, so here's the changelog:

Fixing one issue has a habit of breaking something else.


- Smacked head against wall. <--- This one's important
- Forbidden Barrage "Starbow Break": Fixed behaviour when the move is guarded that I broke when fixing the other issue.

 

Please redownload, sorry.

Why is it when I try to insert this character into my roster in some way, shape, or form, VSelect always automatically crashes all a sudden after loading? It doesn't happen when I insert the original into my roster so what's causing this to occur? And could you please at least try to address this error in your next update?

No idea because the version I have doesn't. Seems to be an issue with the (now previous) public version that I must've somehow fixed when I added an effect to Flan's sprite file a small while ago.

 

I was waiting for potential bug reports or literally anything substantial before updating her again, but this'll have to do.

 

- Fixed issue that caused VSelect to crash upon loading Flandre.
- Royal Flush: Added dust effect.

It's been a while, but then I actually forgot to post about an update I made a few months ago. Rice has made global changes to the system, so I had to implement them, but also featured is a fix to Royal Flush as well as a few slight nerfs based on feedback and my own observations. Not mentioned is a change to one of her win poses because I didn't deem it significant enough.
