[C] Walker - 2.08

[STM1993]

I tried to make Mirage Guard using that catching ball trick, but as I have never worked with self-catching balls before... I don't know what I'm doing wrong, help appreciated.

Add the following cpoint into Walker's frame 307:

DC-Code: cpoint: kind: 2 x: 42 y: 39 fronthurtact: 310 backhurtact: 131 cpoint_end:

Now Walker will be properly caught by the ball, although my coordinates are off so he'd be pushed back and in mid-air like being caught by a normal grab.
You should also take out the cpoint in the ball's frame 110 and change the state to 3005 the ball can be properly removed from the game and to make sure this is invisible. The first ball frame 100 can also use a different state than 18 so there'd be no smoke, 3005 should also work so the shadow is also hidden.

More comments to come, testing character in stage mode.

EDIT:

Replaced Mirage Dash with Mirage Punch, still available in the air and this time around I think the illusions are a bit more useful than last time.

Actually the illusion still isn't that useful on testing in stage 3. This is because both the character and the illusion are on the same z-axis, so even if they attacked the illusion, chances are they'd also be attacking you. I am aware that you can move on the z-axis while backing away, but I found that the z-axis movement is insufficient to ensure that the character can dodge and he'd always be able to hit the opponent even if the opponent stood still.

Tried a new effect for Spectre Kick, and some other sprite changes.

Same thing with his normal catch, I played around with YinYin's double input method and now you can do the counter throw by pressing A+J or A+D during a normal catch. I'm hoping to change this into something else in the future.

I like these changes.

That Jack Kick Throw is replaced with a more Walker-generic throw, as I don't have any sprites to play with for the time being. Command changed to down instead of up.

Cool. Although I should note an inconsistency where you can use the DvA input on dash or just after uppercut to execute the throw whereas you can't use JDvA.

By the way, I'm testing how it is with having Spooky Guard at D+J+A instead, as it is kind of a hybrid... It's a catching move like D→J and JD↓J but it's also a counterattack like (the future) D↓A...

I think DJA is a bit awkward considering that you can press A again to execute the back teleport. DvJ will be better.


I think Walker could use better crowd control. Weird that bandits/hunters can survive >>JA, might want to raise the damage to exactly 50. Change his super and >>A to vrest 10 - he tends to hit some other enemy instead of the intended enemy.
