Simoneon
Stamina bar. If the character engages in fatiguing actions such as punching, running, or performing special attacks, his stamina will decrease. Certain moves will thus not be possible with low stamina. Upon standing or walking, the stamina bar recharges.

told ya

[SirisRhazael]

It was hard to decide... But I've chosen Sinow. Very interesting technique.
I say it straightly-I'd vote for every participant if I could, because EVERY work was awesome in its own way.

[The Lost Global Mod]

as i am not that known for my dc knowledge i have a different system of rating this creations.
Bamboori: i guess the idea is nicely implemented, but the idea of henry auto-punching is invoking a strange feeling in me. Voted[ ]
no one: The idea is nice and it looks also very well dced (by the looks of it). Voted[x]
LeoGautama: cool idea actually. But from the looks of it, you have some flaws. Spritewise and I guess also dc wise. Voted[ ]
Simoneon: Already have seen that. I was impressed but I am not quite fond of the idea that punching takes stamina. How should you regain it, when enemies attack? you can't run away and can't punch. So ya can't vote for you. Voted[ ]
Marshall: Even tough it looks overpowered, it still gives me an unkown feeling of awesomeness (and yes i read your tutorial about it. Nice!) Voted[x]
Sinow Rappy: The idea is awesome and quite original. Never have seen something like this before, and judging from your post there has to be some tricky dc behind that. Voted[x]
Azriel: That's a pretty nice weapon imo. Sprites could have been a bit better, but thats not the point I guess. Voted[x]
Woodysmasher: First I read time stop and thought "WAESOME". But then I looked at the gif, its nicely done but far from awesome. You still have some flaws (e.g char is shaking) I am not sure if it possible to change that but everyone has done something awesome without flaws => I can't vote for you. Voted[ ]
Lauli: Plus point for using bat, and plus point for the bat swarm idea => Voted[x]
MH-Razen: The sprites of monk's draining move are awesome. Though I never expected monk to do something like this, I love the idea => Voted[x].

so in total i voted for: no one, marshall, sinow, az, lauli and mh

I liked Sinow's work best and Azriel's second (my votes to both of them).

I think Sinow's submission is very new and very interesting at the same time - being able to absorb an enemy into a weapon and release the enemy from the weapon by will is something I haven't seen before and I believe it would be very fun to use such a system for stage mode.

I like the concept of Azriel's submission - fireballs able to chase the weapon and anyone wielding the weapon. Given some refinement or tweaks, it can be a very exciting feature for LF2 as a mini-game or challenge or as part of stage. It's pretty new too.

The rest I did not vote for mainly due to, in my personal opinion, a lack in the factor of either being new/innovative or being exciting. For example, I actually like Simon's submission of the stamina bar, but I did not vote for it, mainly because while the system of stamina is new to LF2, it isn't exactly a new idea in my eyes (HF's stamina bar), and so is the concept of having a tertiary stat other than health and mana.

votes:
marshall - the only entry where i loearned something from
sinow - nice idea, i don`t like moves on mod-basis, but who cares...
azriel - team-independant is nice
razen - sry but I didnt see another move like this elsewhere


further comments:
simon: nice idea, but dc isnt to hard and what happens to the bar if you jump - follow on y-axis?
lauli: also a nice idea, but fusion is no new dc and to change the effect isnt hard either

[TheNave]
