LF2 Character Ideas

[LukefonFabre4]

How bout':

Vintreet: (Norwegian for Vine) It is a female character, mainly cause we don't have NEAR enough of em', but also cause I figure a girl will suit this style better. Kinda like Mother Earth.

Attacks and body info:
DvA - Summons a vine from the ground in front of her that catches and ensnares an opponent that comes into contact with it.

Her clothes will be made of plants and vines and her weapon will be two vines, one for each arm, that will be twisted around each arm,
will stick out like swords, and will "wiggle" a little, kind of like a tail during the standing, walking, running, etc frames.

D>A - She will do a rushing combo attack of about 10 quick hits with her vines and some kicks like a combination of Davis and Dennis's
DvA, but a LOT faster and instead of upper-cutting, she will end the combo by striking with her vines in an X pattern like Rudolf's run
attack.

D^A - She will summon a medium-sized tree from the ground in front of her that will knock the enemy high in the air so that you may
try n' combo from it and also to hit away an opponent that won't leave you alone, lol.

Now we're gettin' to the really powerful moves that do more damage:
DvJ - This attack can be done both on ground and in the air, it is meant to combo with D^A. If she is in the air, she will do a front flip,
lift her right leg up during the process and quickly and violently, kick downward to send the opponent flying harshly towards the ground.
If she is on the ground, she will quickly kick the opponent into the air and then proceed with the attack the same way as in the air. The
reason I said "quickly" kick the opponent into the air, is so that if you're tryin' to combo off of D^A you will be able to make it on time.

D>J - This attack will take approximately 4 seconds to activate. She will go into her summoning stance like the others, but for 4
seconds long, as opposed to 1. She can be interrupted at any time during the summoning. Then when the 4 seconds are up, she will
summon a Golem of sorts made purely out of big thorny vines to charge forward like Mark's charging attack, but way more powerful in
both damage and knock-back. The Vine Golem will be about 4 characters high and 3 1/2 wide. Of course, this move will cost massive
MP to keep it from bein' overpoweringly spammed, hehe.

D^J+DJA+A(x8)- This is her strongest, and most dangerous move! She will spread her arms out diagonally downward and spread her
legs apart a little and will begin to levitate a little above the ground with a strong green aura surrounding her and getting bigger and
bigger for about 5 seconds. She cannot be easily interrupted during this, she will have about 3x the armor of Julian. Then, after those 5
seconds, she will release a HUGE circular-shaped burst of green energy that will hit both enemy AND ally and do massive damage and
knock-back and will heal about 1/8th of your max HP. But you will go into the "Dance of Pain" afterwards. To perform this attack, press
D^J, then you have to press the rest within the 5 seconds: Press DJA, then Press A for a total of 8 times and if you were successful,
the epic attack will commence!

Well, that's all I got for now. I'll come up with more later. I just kinda came up with this stuff as I typed, lol. xD
Hope you like it!

Edit:
@bashscrazy - Lol, you're right, it does! xD

How bout' this; here's a Hellmove!!

Press DJA, then you have only a few seconds to press the correct series of keys (kind of like Julian's Hellmove in R-LF2):
DvJ+D^J+DvA+D^A+D>A+D>J. Of course, since this is a Hellmove, she will be invincible for the entire duration of the attack. If
successful, this will take a full bar of MP (so you cannot perform this attack without a completely full MP
bar) and can be used only once per match. Once you are done with the combinations of keys and you are successful, she will enter her
levitating mode just like in the D^J attack. This will last for about 4 or 5 seconds. If she is hit by ANYthing (that includes items like
boulders falling from the sky n' stuff) then she will activate the attacking part of her Hellmove. Yes, this is a counter-type Hellmove.
Once it activates, it will not only hit the enemy (or item, lol) that attacked you, but will also hit those within it's area of effect; which
starts from her body and reaches out from both sides of her about 8 character lengths. She will hit those caught in the area of effect
with somewhere around 50 extremely dense and pointy Thorn Vines that will come up below them consecutively and VERY quickly and
will put them in a sort of catch state while the vines are sprouting up so that the enemies can't escape. In fact, the way this Hellmove
will attack is almost exactly like Davis's Hellmove from R-LF2 come to think of it, so there's a reference, lol. xD The damage will very
just like Davis's Hellmove, since the enemies won't always be hit the exact same way. And not many of the vines will sprout straight
upwards since that'd be kind of boring n' cheesy if too many did, most of em' will sprout up in different diagonal angles.

Well, that's all I can really put on here for this idea, mainly cause if I put any more it would test the limits of DCing too far and wouldn't be possible to make this character, lol.

Man I wish I could make this my-self! But I don't have NEAR the skills for spriting nor DCing, but especially spriting, since it would take awesome spriting skills to make it look really good...

I removed color-formatting. Hint: Check the rules as to why.

[bashscrazy]

I didn't read it all but sounds a lot like poison ivy from batman.

[LSwarley]

idk if its alreadz been said but i didnt see it in projekts and releases so i post my idea here

dunno a name for it though but its based on a nostale char xD played it like few years ago and liked the idea ^^

water element
atk:using a katana and puts it back after each atk doesnt get dmg bonus like kato from albaka
deff:using the scabbard
jump:basic jump? nothing in particular

d>a=longer range slash animation shld be fast i thought of a close range atk but u can do it fast and without much delay cost not much mp but less dmg cause theoreticaly u hit with a weak spot of the weap it

dva=use water in the and slash in highspeed so the waterdrops hit the enemy mayb chasing? it cause the enemy tothe dance of pain mpcosts and again no idea xD

d^a=take katana out for a sec or less and charge all enemy atk into ur katana and add the dmg to ur next atk shld be hard to control cause its overpowered or hit from anydirection or something interrupts if higher time span

d^j=dash forward and cut takes down enemy like bats punch d>j?

d>j=throw water drops in front of him and cut those parts with highspeed but less dmg something like minato from ntsd? then when he puts katana back they take dmg and fall to the ground? too easy but i like the effect xD

dvj=increase all stats for a short period of time or until u get hit though the 2nd thing is kinda overpowered for ppl with better fighting skills

adj=hell move? need 3 things to activate 1. saved enough dmg from enemy atk 2.increased stats without getting hit 3.a drink in ur hand

y? cause he is water element and during hellmove he cuts him like thousand times in a short period of time and he needs something like a drink or water to put on his katana so that he is able to control the pressure in his scabbard though he still get recoil dmg cause of this inhuman power he is using

basically a fast low dmg char and id put less mp costs only on that hellmove some more mp ^^
idk if its possible to do though but i think its a fun to play char though i couldnt think of any combos ^^"

[dubbleD]

Character Name: Teh Coward
Character class: Support/Sub-Character
Appearance: Undecided. Suggestions include; A female like Jan, a cowardly looking person, a sorcerer, a priest or mage looking figure
Traits: (AI) always tries to run away from enemies if they are near
Abilities: heal, stun attack spell
Other Notes: || AI won't run to pick up weapons || You won't be able to pick up small weapons, only heavy weapons || Can't fight melee ||

How will this be done?
1. Modify Milk Bottle so that it has it has ik8 in all falling frames which lead to a delete frame
2. Coward will always spawn this milk bottle in hand, but hidden away from view with y position values
3. In all falling frames or whatever frames that the coward may drop the bottle, add a special bdy which will cause the milk bottle to delete and remove any unnecessary bottles or broken glass particles
4. Apply your choice of heal or offensive skill in Light Weapon Attack frames. Note: depending on which character AI you choose, you may be able to apply more skills which allow the AI to use more moves, such as I have tested; Freeze will always use his ice wall attack, D>J

I don't have the spriting skills to create this but i do have the dc'ing skills to, however, i lack the sprites to allow me to make any coherent character


Character Name: Gentleman
Character Class: between Hero and Sub-Character
Appearance: Like any middle class working citizen, this person sports a grey business suit full with the tie, top hat...and Umbrella
Traits: Polite etiquette to acquantences...oh who am i kiddin? This guy just wants to bash you with his epic umbrella. thats right, his katana-shot-gun-rain-repellent-double-rainbow-air-retardant umbrella
Abilities: The ancient martial art of Umbrella-fu
Other Notes: when the gentleman opens his umbrella, it opens fast like a bullet and all hell breaks loose
Skills: 2 Input Moves(from memory, forgot what else i had), 4 or so Sub Moves
Input Moves:
1. Shot gun (preferably D>A): bullets fly out of the tip of the epic umbrella and give you the wynauts
2. Wakizashi Whack (Preferably D>J): the gentleman withdraws the blade out by the handle and slices in front of him. Used as a final to a combination attack (Note: can be used in midair)
3. Umbrella Shrafe (preferably DvA): just an ordinary strafe that hits about 4 or 5 times and ends with a super punch/run attack. (Note: can be used in mid air to execute combination moves)
4. Rainy Day (preferable D^A): the gentleman opens the umbrella normally above his head and all enemies nearby will be knocked upwards by the force of the umbrella
Sub Moves:
1. Umbrella Extension (>>A+A or A+A+A+A): the super punch/run attack is a straight horizontal stab. Pressing A once the gentleman has stabbed will unlock and open the parasol with devastating effects, sending enemies flying in the air
2. Float (J+D): While in midair from a jump, the gentleman will be able to open his umbrella and float down to the ground slowly. While floating, the gentleman will be able to use the Wakizashi Wack or another combination attack
3. Whapper (J+DvJ): (can't think of a good name) while in mid air from a jump, the gentleman can unlock his umbrella beneath him and the force of the opening parasol will propel the gentleman further upward while also blowing enemies downward (Note: will hurt enemies)
4. Aerial Rainy Day (D^A): particularly used in conjunction with combination moves, when in midair from jump, the gentleman opens his umbrella above his head, consequently blowing himself down to the ground and forcing any unfortunate enemy above higher up into the sky
5. Aerial Wakizashi Whack: the blade slize as mentioned above except it is executed in midair from a jump.

Gentleman: "Have a jolly good day sir!"

Note: the character sprite i envisioned it to be is far beyond my spriting skill. i would be able to dc this character but the efforts will be of little use to a dominantly visual community
And: also, im leaving these ideas here because i cbs making them. feel free to shred these ideas to bits and take what you like

Jail Guard: Morlin Javatil
General Sailor Fighter: Mace Holufin

Hmm.. have you been playing BlazBlue?
Rachel Alucard fights nicely with an umbrella... my favourite character...
And why a Gentleman when you can have a Gothic Loli Vampire!?
:P
But cliches aside... A parasol wielding fighter? This is a good chance to use the idea for a female fighter!
In fact.. I'd have thought that the sole word "parasol" would immediately bring to mind a female rather than a male character... interesting...

[YinYin]

it just popped into my head - all at once
you've had this before too right?

move set (classic LF2, only 4):
D>A BOW & ARROW
DvA BOMBS
D>J HOOKSHOT
D^J SPIN ATTACK

special features:
LEFT HANDED (different mirror sprites)
SWORD BEAM (at full health or close to)
SHIELD ATTACK
FAIRY

time to go into the creamy details
the work required here consists of everything
simple things, very difficult things, time consuming things, etc
i am 100% sure i would never be able to do this alone
& i would never settle with anything less than perfect
so this would be quite a task - something i will never tackle alone
even tho i might try to accomplish some of the data solutions just for having them

the move set isn't really the most interesting or difficult part
but still essential so here it is

BOW & ARROW D>A (Click to View)

this one is obvious and one of the easiest things to do i guess
extra features in order of importance:
repeatable +A+A+A+...
strong version D>A<
aerial version J+D>A+...

BOMBS DvA (Click to View)

I've thought up many possible ways to do this one but the best would be to simply crouch and lay a bomb on the floor (heavy object)
can be picked up right away DvA+A
has a timer after which it explodes

HOOKSHOT D>J (Click to View)

quite difficult to pull off neatly but I've already seen characters doing this quite well
will only pull an opponent close and leave him standing in the dance of pain before you
if i can think of anything awesome it would also pull you towards crates, but this seems minor

SPIN ATTACK (Click to View)

obvious and easy one
extra features in order of importance:
charged version D^J<
aerial version J+D^J

on to the special features
these are the much more difficult and interesting things to plan/sketch/create

LEFT HANDED (Click to View)

the most difficult feature to accomplish in my opinion
we have already thought of using different mirror sprites for a character before
but there are several problems that do not allow this on normal characters
with link this could work:
first of all link has his sword and shield on his back when moving
(walk/run/jump/etc ... well that's more of a thing i would like to have that way)
so for these mainly the position of these has to be slightly shifted for standing left/right
when attacking with his sword the motions have to be either perfectly symmetrical even tho performed with another hand
or the interacting areas have to simply overlap/be the same - so the left and right slashes could actually look way different
the animation sequence still has to be the same of course
items will be stored in his endless bag - so during normal movement they will not be visible at all
when attacking with them he will wield them both handed to allow mirroring
(gotta use that common item-out-of-the-bag/into-the-bag sound every time he uses/picks one)
drinking (and possibly throwing) will stay on the front hand so he will actually do that with both right and left hand as usual
but all actions still have to be sprited for facing left and right
sounds like a nightmare doesn't it

SWORD BEAM (Click to View)

a feature that hopefully works as smooth in reality as it does in my head
with more than 490 hp every normal attack (punch/super punch/run attack) will create a sword beam
with less than 490 hp these attacks stay normal

SHIELD ATTACK (Click to View)

easy feature
very first frame of normal defending allows the shield to reflect projectiles
if pressing DA the shield will also bash opponents
otherwise the defense is normal so timing is crucial for this
(well it should get an extra sound when hit)

FAIRY (Click to View)

this one is just icing on top of the cake
randomly having a fairy pop in and out of his hat
circling link and opponents

and here some of the basic actions (Click to View)

'punch'
pulling the sword&shield and either doing a horizontal or vertical slash (2 for dop)
last frame (putting them on his back again) in state 0 to allow continuous attacking and 'super punch'
'super punch'/run attack
a sword stab, maybe a different slash for the 'super punch'
otherwise same as 'punch'
jump attack
possibly a simple kick or a normal sword slash
dash attack
the typical sword jump attack with a special landing
for >>JA it could also include the extra upwards slash at the start (from twilight princess)
grab attack
normal knee attack would suffice/fit best with lf2 imo

damn i had to write this down
guess what I'm currently doing

Hmm.. have you been playing BlazBlue?

Did you really need to quote that long post entirely?
Anyways:

But cliches aside... A parasol wielding fighter? This is a good chance to use the idea for a female fighter!
In fact.. I'd have thought that the sole word "parasol" would immediately bring to mind a female rather than a male character... interesting...

You might want to check out Parasoul from upcoming Skull Girls. :3



Speaking of BlazBlue, a character I would like to base a character on is Tager. I might as well try to do that after I am done with my Hakumen-inspired character I currently work on.

So a close-ranged character, using many catches and that special itr from the whirlwind so that he can pull foes in closer. For the general ideas of attacks, I will just use the names of Tagers attacks:

Specials (Click to View)

1. D→A: Spark Bolt
   A fast projectile with great negativ dvx to pull opponent in.
   
2. D↑A: Atomic Collider
   Anti-air catch with huge hitbox, but it is high up so standing characters will not be caught. Uses whirlwind itr. The only problem is that LF2 does not allow one to catch falling foes. D:
   
3. D↓A: Gadget Finger
   If possible, grabs falling foe and puts him right next to this character.
   
4. D↑J: Driver
   Quick (instant?) catch with massive damage, but costs a lot of MP and has long recovery if you miss.
   
5. D→J: Sledgehammer
   Forward movement attack with effect 4 and staggering.
   
6. ⇒D→J: Follow-Up
   A follow up to Sledgehammer that launches foe into air.
