[Character] Nino

I changed the glowing, hope this is better..


(order in attack: 2, 1, 3, 4, 5)

And I made a slide:

or


However, the effect doesn't look right


By the way, replying to an old post:

if you still want the face pic for the char my offer is still up! dont tell me your gonna use that one in your ava? my hair shading sucked back then

I'm okay with this sprite as face pic, you can make a better one if you like.. Or is it okay with you to use this one?

Most excellent. Very nice move and quite unique at that. Good work on the glow too.

That's because his hand is at 90 degrees, which is impossible if he's sliding. It should be at at least 45 in the opposite direction of his movement to feel anything close to natural.

Also I'm a bit confused about the cloud. If he's sliding then I'd think it would be a dust cloud. Maybe it's blue fairy-dust?
In any case, once the cloud is animated properly it should look much better. I would suggest not making it as a whole though. Better make it into smaller clusters.

Thank you!
I edited the slide. It should be better now

Thank you!

I was actually talking about the other arm, but guess this works... :P

I'd like to point out a couple of things though:

1. The colour of these new "particles" differs too much to the colour used with the other moves. If you decide on an effect-colour scheme try to stick to it. Also remember to animate them later on;
   
2. The energy glow you added to his leg maybe a bit too much, but if you're going to keep it it needs some more tweaks. Looks way too artificial. It should feel as if he's really moving, not like the energy just appeared there for show. Note how dynamic the glow on that kick move you did earlier looks? Consider doing a similar effect for the slide;
   
3. Optionally you can use this opportunity to make that "attacks on air" kick you mentioned earlier. Like continuing a combo from the slide?

I agree with this idea,but also I think he need energy at his other leg.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the new slide was unfinished x] I already planned on making the energy at his feet better.

About the arm, I now see what you mean. He'd break his arm or overstretch a muscle like this :P

I will probably make some attacks on air But I'm not sure yet how I'm going to use this move in combos.

And thanks for the reputation It's sure been some time since I started working on this character. I haven't been working on him all this time of course. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to finish him so I will, even if there's nobody who's going to play him Oo

I don't think energy on his other leg will make it look better. He's hitting with his front leg, therefor the energy is there. But I could be wrong x]

[empirefantasy]

I don't think so.
I think that the other leg in on the ground more than the fron leg.
So if you can't make it with energy,bring it highter from the earth(maybe leg can look hide).

Making this character in perfect sprites will make you to recive +1 reputation from me very soon.

Nino is getting closer to completion!

Download! (1.9)

Updated:
- jump attack
- added slide move + combo possibility with flip or spin kick
- re-added his first move, the short 3 kick combination
- Reduced the size and mp cost of his D^A (explosion kick)

Slide move turned out pretty cool

[bashscrazy]

Pretty sweet!
Slide move is cool
Problem I noticed.. (same with my Batman haha)
When you hit something you lag behind and the sliding particles move forward past where his arm is and into his body - this problem isnt really noticeable in game though.. so i guess it doesnt really need to be fixed haha
another problem I found is when I hit and then do the A attack right after - it doesn't hit.

But awesome work

EDIT: I got the hit to work - haha - I guess I pressed it to early but you have to wait a bit after they get hit by the slide hit. I was too impatient heh

maybe the slide then J attack (blue aura kick) should use a small bit of MP since like a special

[Whaat]

Combo at that .gif is awesome. GJ. Keep it up.
