Gad - repchar

[Gad]

Introduction
Gad means reptile in polish. As my repchar this char is posed to be a half human and half reptile.

Gad is a powerful bruiser, his wild animal fury and imposing physique make him a deadly force to behold!
He has great reach, strong anti-air capabilities and is a bit faster than normal on the x-axis.
However, he is a bit slow on the z-axis, has quite a long recovery time and his large body presents a bigger target.

Pack includes a character with entirely new sprites and a simple AI that can use and chain abilities.



Description
BASIC ATTACKS:
1. Punch - quite similar to Dennis, but recovers a bit faster & moves forward a lot more.
2. Run Attack - blocks attacks initially, then charge forward to claw. Can move along z-axis. Good for killing bandits.
3. Jump Attack - a simple but powerful kick. Can be used twice on a jumping enemy.
4. Dash Claw - a quick dash attack with a bit more forward movement & height than regular, and shorter itr duration.

SPECIAL MOVES
==============

1. Energy Slashes D>A [125mp / 25%]
Does two short-range blasts similar to Deep's, but with Woody's attack style.

2. Reptilian Shrafe DvA [75mp / 15%]
Unleash a flurry of attacks similar to Davis. It ends with an upward jump kick, and you can roll/dash away upon landing.

3. Javelin Spin D>J [200mp / 40%]
Lunge forward with incredible force, similar to Woody's tiger dash.
* Can be used while rolling.

4. Alligator Charge D^J [125mp / 25% (+continuous mp cost)]
Charge forward and attempt to grab the enemy. When successful, hold the enemy infront of you like a battering ram.
* Can be used while rolling.
* Pressing >A or J allows you to Spin Throw. Keep pressing A/J to keep spinning. You may change direction while spinning.
* Unlike the heavy_weapon version, F6 does not affect the direction change.

//Installation:
Place the following id lines inside your data.txt file in LF2's data folder:
id: 6254  type: 0  file: data\gad\gad.dat
id: 6255  type: 3  file: data\gad\gad_ball.dat

Put the "Gad" folder in LF2's "data" folder.
eg: C:\Program Files\Little Fighter 2\data\Gad

Put the "ai" folder and ddraw.dll in LF2's main folder.
eg: C:Program Files\Little Fighter 2\ai
If the ddraw.dll file is problematic, you can download the latest one here:

The id of the character itself is ultimately not important, but you'll need to change the ai filename accordingly.

Amidst the abyssal deep,
emerges a creature from his sleep.
Hungering for some meat,
this reptile looks for tasty treat.

Sharp Claws = All of Gad's attacks can hit multiple enemies, INCLUDING during grab!

Crocodile Roll = Gad can roll along z-axis slightly, and from Super_punch & DvA Shrafe.

==============

COMBOS:
1) Claw Combo AA Grab A*5 DvA >JA (> must be hit just after landing from shrafe to enter instant run)
2) Kick DashClaw AA Super >>JA (enemy must be somewhere behind Gad, and facing Gad's back)
3) Shrafe DashClaw DvA >>JA (enemy must be somewhere behind Gad, or be pushed into a wall)
4) Shrafe Javelin DvA D>J (enemy should be somewhere inside or in front of Gad)
5) Shrafe Grab DvA D...^J (tap D just as you land on the ground, then ^J. Don't bother buffering D^J unless near a wall; it won't work unless you roll first)
6) Slash Javelin D>A J (its actually D>A D>J, but the controls are like this due to a bug with LF2's input detection itself)
7) Slash DashClaw > D>A >JA (D>A must be all 3 buttons at once to allow instant run to work)
WALL COMBOS:
1) Shrafe JumpAtk DvA >J A (jump attack)
2) GrabThrow DashClaw > Grab >A >JA (dash atack)
3) Gadian Death Roll AA DvA D>A D^J (very hard to do; both D>A balls must hit for this to work)
4) Reptilian Frenzy AA DvA D>A (D>)J (very hard to do; both D>A balls must hit for this to work)
--------------
Known Bugs / "Features":
* weapon disappear if rolling into edge of map, or if D>J with back towards wall. Nothing much I can do about this and even normal LF2 characters are affected by this.
