[C] Walker - 2.08

[支倉凍砂]

I have been busy with writing a game proposal to get a job this week, and next week I will probably be programming for an other application. I'll try to get something out next Sunday too.

think about how Davis' run attack can be cancelled by pressing attack midway

I so didn't know that! XD



Experimental Patch 2.03

• Jump height, jump distance and dash distance increased
  
• Hop has had its speed and distanced increased, and you can now dash after it
  
• Super A now launches opponent closer and moves Walker less
  
• JK start-up changed from 3F to 4F. Now always causes knockdown and wall bounces. Damaged increased to 40 from 30.
  
• Phantom Dash is now total 17F up from 11F, the low hurtbox and cancelability to Phantom Punch has therefore also increased from 3F～8F to 3F～14F. You can now instantly cancel to Phantom Punch at point-blank range, and also the start-up has been hasten from 6F to 4F.
  
• Phantom Guard Phantom Punch launces lower
  

I think that's about it.
I removed the split hitbox from JK as it was really awkward when you hit opponent in air (not in a combo).

The longer PD looks a little stupid to me, but it works better than before.
The "buffed" hop works better as well, but it's not exactly perfect.

I spent some time trying to make an anti-projectile counterattack, but to no avail.
Basically I had Walker create a ball in front on him, opponent can destroy this ball with attacks (rebound) but other balls and such put it in its "active mode", where it becomes a slow moving wall (effect: 14) that rebounds balls (effect: 4).
However, I realised that is changes team to opponent so while it certainly rebounds balls back to opponent they just miss and the wall itself hurt Walker.
It is not included in this patch. And I'm not sure I like it either (at least now for him): Phantom Dash is supposed to be his anti-projectile move anyway so it felt a little redundant.


What I am thinking about now:

• removing Phantom Punch follow-up from Phantom Guard. Maybe instead add a stronger throw attack (maybe like Walker 1.03 "Impact").
  
• As I use the Super Punch motion for the counterattack, should he get a new Super Punch?
  
• Deeps normal A and Strike hits so low that Phantom Dash cannot go through them. Strike also has magical 3F start-up with amazing range making hop SK a very dangerous aproach as well. Is this how it should be, or should I do something about it (add projectile move or long-range counterattack or attack-while-moving-forward-attack...)?
