LF2 extended

[Memento]

the poses remind me of trickityhouse or designheaven, so maybe one of their chars?

Neither. But chances are high that you have never seen the char, as it has never been released, so I'll just tell anyway The base is Gad's Hydron

the uppercut has no visible motion, it rather looks like he is raising his arm.

I didn't notice it before.. Thanks, I'll fix it

If I have to be honest, when I first saw him, I thought he was Jack.

And well, since he's meant to be a minion, it's best not to give him too many moves. 3 should be good as it is.

Do you think we should make changes to either this minion or Jack so they look less alike?

I think it has something to do with the color scheme. We can change this for Jack maybe. We'll have to see later on (right now, we haven't even made changes to the more important originals yet)

And well, since he's meant to be a minion, it's best not to give him too many moves. 3 should be good as it is.

I'll consider it. In that case the moveset would be something like this:

- D^J teleport to friend
- DvJ teleport to enemy
- D>A ball move

[Simoneon]

Screw the ball move, make something else instead it is just too boring and overused, in my opinion
Teleporting is a broad theme, you know

[Monolanier]

Simoneon is right, if he is teleport guy, then let's make something more like teleport attack.
Since he is teleport guy which means that he is no ordinary minion, why not to add combo which contains teleporting. Maybe grab enemy and teleport into the air and smash him down or smack him down from above (kinda Rock Lee style) or make do something like this scene had.

Or like this video have or many NTSD mods have. Teleportation for the defence. When he gets injured he is able to teleport and avoid being injured. Special moves should not always be offensive ones. You can make him more interesting character if you would make him different than other characters already are. Imagine if you would have to create a stratety to beat a enemy?

I tend to agree

Do you mean you'd like to see more teleportation-related moves in his moveset?

why not to add combo which contains teleporting.


I'd love to make something like this.

I feel this could be a bit too good a technique for a minion

yeah pretty much that.

Well, is teleportation not too good for the minion itself ?I see this minion as no ordinary, like Abobo from Double Dragon series. He is iconic character. Adding one evasive move would be interesting or make him appear behind the enemy and smack him down. Like this.
Be creative as Simon said, teleportation is a broad theme

His teleport to friend and teleport to enemy wouldn't be much diffirent from Woody's in terms of data. How useful are his teleportations in the heat of battle really? They don't make him much more dangerous imo. Unless you're fighting the AI, your opponent will be able to attack you before you're even done with your teleportation

He's not ordinary, true I intended to make an attack that he could use directly after teleporting behind an opponent.

I can make a combo move with quick move initiation, in which the first attack has a good horizontal movement to fly into the opponent, with some teleports in between the combo to make it look diffirent from existing moves. I'm thinking a 3 hit combo without teleportation would be good as a base, then if you press attack he'll teleport to finish to combo.

edit: I changed the upward punch:

[Monolanier]

Well, he still needs some motion to make it less robotic.

As I understand its  one two punch which is seems to be a copy of Firen punch, by copy I don't mean a bad thing.
While this animation have many frames, it lacks fluent movement. I suggest making him move more than it is already, would be great and add more new parts instead of copy paste.
Here is a quick template for what I see could look better.
Mostly this is based on Firen's punch frames but again, why not to reuse and get a better result than try on your own and make it less appealing?
One suggestion. Before making a sprites, for animation and simple one sprite, use base. This will help you to fix the flaws.
I gave some attetion to your sprites. Problems are that he looks like action figure toy. You can bend just some parts, not making it have natural body bending. Allow separate parts move even if those parts are not the main objects of the movements.
Example.
This gif. Made by me. Sure, last kick looks buggy but lets focus on the 1st and 2nd punch.

Some tips on punch sprites what I found out while spriting.
Punch frames if its three frame punch.
1st frame legs makes a movement to concentrate energy into them. Makes a little crouch
2nd frame moves forward while punching which is actualy same in real life except for certain style of fighting. Moves Aleg to the front while Bleg stands in the same position.
3rd frame Moves Bleg towards the Aleg while closing the move. When he finishes his punch, he again moves leg closer to another.
Example http://sketchtoy.com/65163949
While making punch frames. When making all two or three punch frames, think not about the one frame, think about the all frames which are involved in punching animation sequence.


Another helpful tip to check if animation is good is to put frames in complete sequence like this one have
the one I showed earlier.

Thanks!

Would it be okay if I use your template as a base?
