[HQ char]Joe the boxer

[Siegvar]

Yea, so Azriel released an update to HQ recently, and with that release I can also finally talk about the character I've been working on for HQ.

So yea, that's Joe.
Been working on him since I started getting somewhat active again in LFE. Which was around June. So, now he's almost complete, and that means I took about 4 months to complete him. That doesn't bode well for Frozen at all now.. haha.

But anyway. this thread is meant to just explain a little about joe, and let you guys give comments.

So, Joe's a Sub-Character in HeroQuest, like Jack, Justin, etc were in LF2. However I want him to be a little more versatile and poweful, more akin to Bat's level of strength. (Without being a stiff and unadaptive bugger)
Also, as the title suggests, he is a boxing themed character.
In retrospect I've not carried the theme well in the normal frames, but oh well.. I'm sticking with the theme, and try to get it across better in his skills.

I've 2 moves planned for him:

1. A 2 hit shrafe: (right hook to left upper)

Normal startup speed, 2nd hit does a minor launch on a clean hit, and cannot be interrupted(Don't mind if you don't understand this. This is meant only for FightingGame freaks. I'm hoping to put more depth into the moves of the characters by borrowing some fight flow concepts from fighting games that suit lf2).

2. A projectile attack: (Possibly a right straight with an energy flare off at the end)
Haven't sprited this yet, so just sit tight and wait.

waiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt so we now have a new engine the code on yay

and make a double jump move (hold jump for a bit longer and you do the move) he shoots at the ground and flys up

so so so cool

[naruto hyuuga]

@betitngoan
can you say anything other than cool?????

ontopic: make the shrafe as a addition to his combo

[dubbleD]

lmao well english is not his first language.

joe is a greated sprited character. i was mucking around with him on HQ at first. then i went and chucked him on lf2 to see what he was really like XD. i hope you dont mind. he's pretty cool, though his punches are so slow even bandit owns him. but i guess its different on HQ.
youre going the right way with joe. just keep it rolling

@Siegvar: The front leg is a bit stiff but beside that, I have nothing to complain about. Maybe you can add a third move in his shrafe that punch the enemy when he/she is falling down.

@betitngoan: If you can't say something other than that then you better not say anything. At least give him some decent feed back like "I like how you shade the hair" or something....

[Siegvar]

@DubbleD:
Punch speed was toned down because he was originally planned to be a bandit character. But he got promoted! coz we needed more non-descript bandits, probably wearing helmets or something that masks their face so they don't look weird in large numbers.

Things like that will be balanced out with more testing.

@No one:
That's what his D>A is gonna do. act as an optional link, in addition to other things.

i don´t want to sound noobish but what exactly is HeroQuest

i don´t want to sound noobish but what exactly is HeroQuest

it's azriel's LF2 remake on java, which has a separate section in the Project's section reserved for private viewing only

@Siegvar
must there be a projectile involved? can't it be more boxing related?

it's azriel's LF2 remake on java, which has a separate section in the Project's section if you look carefully

@Siegvar

HQ section is private .

Ontopic:

Quite cool, lots of quality is lost because it is a gif, but the animation looks pretty smooth.
