alf2: current state - insights

[Lauli]

Explosive crate.
No more ninja'ing. :,D

Well the opponent seems to get knocked up pretty high. Does the D^JA still work? Would be weird if Deep jumps up too high in order to enable a combo.

Also, you don't happen to need any help with the sounds for your mod? I recently got a nice microphone set and would be more than happy to record anything.
Just trying my luck, who knows ;)

This move is in this char too http://www.lf-empire.de/en/lfe-fileplane...-blitzdeep

[YinYin]

unlike the other crates this one does not break on the first hit
if you touch it with fire however ...
stage mode only

well i try to always reuse all frames that already exist
i do not have to make him jump higher here
you just have to press attack during the leap a bit later than usual

i don't know of anything i need right now :I
but if you are capable of recording lf2 fitting sounds I'd be happy to include them

Okay, why is there a beer bottle coming out of an explosive crate?

Smart idea though, that you used the official "explosive" sign for the crate :)
Have you tried making it a bit more orange? I've never seen a red sign before.

[YinYin]

hit D^J or J in the first half of lying on the floor to get up and disappear for a short amount of time

@Lauli (Click to View)

hmm
its not the official warning sign anymore

the beer bottle was lying in front of the crate and got lifted into view

and i prefer red color on it
i've also seen it like that - old signs where the yellow color component probably has faded due to sun light

next up: freeze affinity part 2 or stage 1 places

[Azriel]

stage 1 places

not sure if it's just the gif recording, but the "pause" before the crate's explosion feels a bit wrong

I examined the older projects of YinYin and found these
"Empty HK-Collesium bg" is from Killer LF2.
"Dennis Rocket Kick move" is from K-Dennis; dash + J.
"Woody Knee Dash move" is from K-Woody; dash + J
I liked Woody Knee Dash

stage-2 (Click to View)

each of these stages will feature a hero as the boss and army character(s) helping him out

Is that Highway >> "a bg" or "a t3 object with hit_j: 1"

[YinYin]

i had not added the fade out effect when i recorded this

its the recording - woody gets stuck in his position without shaking aswell

I examined the older projects of YinYin and found these
"Empty HK-Collesium bg" is from Killer LF2.

i have actually created it for alf2 before that
but it is included there because every background is supposed to be deserted and empty

"Dennis Rocket Kick move" is from K-Dennis; dash + J.
"Woody Knee Dash move" is from K-Woody; dash + J

yup
but the >>+JA inputs are a much better solution now

Is that Highway >> "a bg" or "a t3 object with hit_j: 1"

t3 with hit_j: 1

next up: guessing game #2
guess the 6 characters appearing in stage 1
and pick a feature of the following list you want to see
the choice with the most correct characters gets posted
hints:
characters guessed correctly for stage 2 will not appear in stage 1
stage 1 has 3 bosses and 3 minions - a total of 6 characters to guess

new list of future features you can pick:
john JA action
john amulet power part 2
deep combo 3
deep combo 4
davis dragon punch kick
freeze affinity part 2
as long as there are characters left to guess the list will expand and the guessing game continues

So, does the stage mode follow some (rough) storyline?
Are there ordinary enemies in the stages as well (useless bandits for example), or is it just boss and minions?
The road-stage doesn't look that good, I think the marking stripes destroy the perspective.
Also the guardrail doesn't fade into the darkness, unlike the road itself.
Here, I did a quick edit. (I couldn't really do the fade-effect, because I'm lacking in software right now)

Left side - no stripes
Right side - straight stripes

Why does the coliseum have no "borders" on its sides, like the normal VS background?
Will you add more of these background-connections? (Like the broken highway in the forrest, for example)
I think it would really help to blend the substages together if you'd add road signs, or even the skyscrapers in the distance in the beginning of 2-1.

Uh, okay. I think it's Dennis Woody Davis here. Along with Bandit, Mark and Jack.
