 Eri escapes from Blade Noa and enters the MUGEN world to seek freedom. This characters is the first of many things; the first to made by me in a brand new mechanic, the first character to be made by me in 2020, the first hi-res character made by me, the first Vanguard Princess character made by me and so on. Considering this is an experimental system that differs greatly from Generation 1 as my previous stuff were made under, Generation 2 is a fresh new experience that definitely will continued to be polished in the near future that requires a different approach.

 

Get her here and have fun: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37Dikl3NylQ4gUYucK_u?e=Za6mUC

 To address some issues, I've went ahead and updated Eri, Miyako and Akari.

 

Eri Hasumi:

- Corrected many aesthetics.
- Tweaked Stun damage formula.

- Corrected posadd for Chou-Shinchuu EX. Also corrected bug in which the AI will use the move 1 frame early from hitstun recovery.

Seeing as this forum doesn't have a poll feature (or I may be overlooking something), I decided to open a poll in an offline site for people to vote for the next Gen 2 character. The poll will last for 3 weeks.

 Right, so, the poll ended yesterday and now I can actually see the results from both MFG and MFFA respectively.

 Lilith is the winner for Generation 2's next project, which I'll start when I get far enough into Neptune's development. Thanks for participating, everyone!

 Miyako is here to prove the power of Bajiquan to the MUGEN world! This is also my very first character with an actual custom AI, so, you won't have a watch mode pushover for once. With that done, this will be the last character I will be releasing for a while as I'll be mostly just do updates/possible AI patches in the meantime.

 Thanks to Inkrebuchet, I've found a solution to universalize hit friction against targets regardless of their friction constant. If you've noticed how grounded combos would fail against specific characters who are rather slippery (i.e.: sudara13's characters), it's likely their friction value and this solves that problem now.

 

All Generation 1 characters:

 

- Fixed issue in which all sounds would cut off if canceled into supers from multi-hit moves.
- Removed instant air dashing to avoid accidental inputs.
- Corrected hitfall FX error.
- Reassigned some archetypes according to optimization findings.
- Revised Guard Crush formula.
- Revised cornerpush formula to follow according to hitstun decay timer.
- Added custom hit friction, now allowing grounded combos to work on slippery characters.

 

Touhou Project:

 

- Simplified Brave Guard.

 

Melty Blood:

 

- Shield can now be held at cost of power.
- Power gain from shielding now scales based on Heat gauge.

 

Haruhi Suzumiya:

 

-Increased duration of Itsuki by 50%.

 

Miyako Arima:

 

- Crouching Light now OTGs.
- Completely overhauled AI.

 

Akari Ichijou:

 

- Reduced Hagure Hitogata's life to 200.
- Corrected error in which invulnerability did not trigger in pre-pillar frames of Harai Tenku.
- Damage for Shikigami Hyakkiyakou increased.
- Tweaked AI.
- Whiffed air throw has a hitbox on the way down instead of only when hitting the ground and has a faster descent.

 

Eri Hasumi:

 

- Increased guard damage for Power Style normals.
- Slightly increased leniency for Deflect.
- Tweaked AI.
- Corrected read me error for Stinger Rush's command.
- Corrected certain hitsparks not appearing during P2 KO.
- Corrected afterimage error for Supersoldier Strength during custom states.
- Added custom hit friction, now allowing grounded combos to work on slippery characters.

 Neptune breaks the fourth wall and decides to Nep things up! As my very first collaboration project roughly a year's worth of combined effort, me and Shimmering Brony presents the main protagonist of Neptunia and the overseer of Planeptune herself. We've worked harder than we usually do in our respective MUGEN trade to make Nep Nep possible and she's finally here after a long wait. We've had fun with this project and we hope you enjoy the product of our release. Enjoy!

 

Get her here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DikwowwnRSDMYZHSly?e=StERxU

 Whoops... necessary bump, accidentally left the debug stuff on, resulting in Nep having limitless Shares. Went ahead and fixed that quick.

 Kano makes a magical wish into MUGEN. Probably my first fully dedicated character release who very much plays on the defensive side and is rather high execution, so, she may not be as easy to bring out her potential as my previous Generation 1 characters, but she's got a lot of tools at her disposal thanks to the unique Aria mechanic. This is also the return of an EFZ character as I haven't made one in nearly a year.

 

 Enjoy!

 

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DikzVuaMP1JX9sMvzi?e=TNQtuU

 


 

All Generation 1 characters:

 

- Updated method of all project reflectors with how they handle sound channel nullification.
- Wallbounce FX updated with custom FX.
- Corrected error in perfect FX.

 

All Generation 2 characters:

 

- Corrected bug in attack landing lag sometimes cancelling early.

 

All Eternal Fighter Zero characters:

- Increased landing lag for aerial specials.

 

Akari Ichijou:

Neptune:

 

- Corrected bug in which Elemental Status effect would reappear and loop even after a round is finished.

- Cross Combination now does increased damage when Elemental Status weakness conditions are present.
- Tweaked AI.

 I am aware EFZ is pretty niche in MUGEN nowadays, but glad I can deliver to those who wanted them including Kano.

 

 Anyway, made a quick hotfix for Neptune since she had a few minor stuff to address.

 

Neptune:

 

- Further corrected some sprite and animation errors.

 Lilith slams the competition! My birthday release that I will share with all of you is my second Generation 2 character from Vanguard Princess converted to my newer custom style, it's Lilith! She's a bit more execution heavy than Eri since she's my first character with 360 motions, but I assure everyone that they'll be more lenient to do than normal due to the custom command buffer I use for my stuff.

 

 Get my birthday present here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvDqTmHZ37DilETifmPwwxPjFyyi?e=E1MEeo

 

 With her release, I'll now reopen the Generation 2 poll from last time with a new addition added to the list of WIP candidates, this will last 30 days before it's closed.

 


 

All Generation 2 characters:

 

- Corrected damage scaling bug in which the hitcount value would persist in guard strings.
- Revised method for hit/guard spark positioning to account for hittable helpers.

 Reuploaded Lilith with a few fixes applied to her.

 

- Corrected super cancel/Boost bug where the target would freeze in place when using Hyper Face Bomber.
- Corrected bug where Purgatory Flame fails to read what style Lilith is in that determines its damage.

 

 Also, there was a big error in the poll, so, I will need everyone to vote again.

 So, averaging out the results from both forums, Hakurei Miko won with an average of 12.8275 over Yukina's 11.795. May start the actual project towards the end of the year or somewhere early next year for I am pretty much on break from any WIPs asides from the Reimu one that I need to finish.

 I originally planned to mass update on Reimu's release, but it's probably better to get these bug fixes and balance changes out of the way sooner. However, I'll exclude the Touhou characters from this update since I still need to finish their win screens.

- Revised Dash Bonus.

 

All Eternal Fighter Zero characters:

 

- Reinforce damage bonus max reduced from 10% down to %5.

 

Hotaru Futaba:

 

- Corrected cornerpush bug.

 

Mai Kawasumi:

 

- Revised Manipulation of Power - Blitz; now made into a triple cluster of fireballs.

 

Miyako Arima:

 

- Corrected hit detection issues for helpers.
- Revised method for super armor.

 

Akari Ichijou:

 

- Adjusted damage for all non-EX versions of Shikigami Tenku.
- Adjusted the function of Power and Defense tags' status effects slightly.
- Portals now disappear when Akari is hit.
- Tweaked AI to account for aforementioned power lock.

- Tweaked AI to account for aforementioned power lock.
