[char] Phobos *is released*

[Taniaetc]

Now that I found out the "correct" way to "attract" people to download my characters (thanks to Divisor), I'd like to introduce you:

PHOBOS

Yes that is the user-bar I made. Awesome, isn't it?
And if you know the "alpha" version (aka the unfinished one), this is slightly better than the previous one.

Some infos about this character can be found here.

Introduction (Click to View)

Read the title (just read it normally), and you will think about the -phobia things (e.g xenophobia is afraid of strangers).
Well, I was bored and just "wandering around inside" my computer and finally did a nonsense sprite - Phobos - I named him. And I started to develop him into a good char, but since I was very very lazy to continue working on him, the char got unfinished. But I motivated myself to continue working on him, and I went to LFE to look on inspirations, and then I finally got this. A character. Finished one. Phew, I got myself relieved.

If you know Greek mythology, you may know about Phobos. Yep, he's one of the sons of Ares and Aphrodite. His left (in our persepective) hand was cut and then replaced with a blade (enggh... I think not, it's just my story). His mask is a mask of fear, making anyone who wears it to be filled with fear. The only way to cure it is for the wearer of the mask to face the fear themselves.

About the data:
Well, for me, I think this char is pretty interesting (only for newbies) in the D^J move though it's actually just random stuff plus a bit advanced DC, after a few fixes this move is completely finished now. Other datas are newbie's stuff. Also the dodging move is very UN-creative and funny idea, heheh .

About the sprite:
I did the sprites stupidly because it's just a recolor and adding things, also copying and pasting body parts to make a new stance.

Dennis: Wait, am I not right?
For people who are confused of the stretched screenies:
-I used a maximized LF2

Moves List (Click to View)

Phobos is basically very good at dodging due to his experiences in war ( which is really useful because it doesn't use mana, but some does). He can also summon some things with various effect.

D = Defend
J = Jump
A = Attack
><v^ = Movement into that direction

D+>+A - Blast - 75 MP
Temporary ball (Like normal Justin ones), but sprites are replaced.

D+v+A (+A) - Wolf Punch - 75mp + 75 if you continue
When at the first stance of "Wolf Punch" press J to do "Dashing Wolf Punch" (75 mp) <-- Though this move is not really useful so DO NOT use this move unless you suicide ^~^

D+>+J (+A...) - Focus Blast - 75 MP +...
Shoot deadlier temporary ball (which lasts longer and faster but it takes time to shoot)

D+J - Dodge - 0 MP
Dodge by lying (useful if you can't move away from balls like Julian's Soul Bomb)

D+^+J - Circle of Fear - 250 MP
Shoot circle of fear to chase enemies and then catch them. 2 things you can do:
A to return the circle to Phobos and summons 5 temporary balls at each direction (150 MP)
J to explode (100 MP)
Note: Pressing buttons while the circle is hurting enemies DOES NOT have any effect other than Phobos returning to his normal stance.
Don't tell me if that's a bug. It's intended.

D+v+J - Hyperspeed slash - 75 MP
As the name said, Phobos will strike his enemies really quickly (takes time to start).
A to continue once (another 75 MP).

D+^+A - Duplicater of People - 500 MP and 100 HP
Sends out a ball which will chase everyone (including you and your team) and transform into them.
Slow and expensive, yet powerful, and careful (look a rhyme) because it eventually disappears in a not very long time. The amount of health the duplicate is usually 500 (the amount of health when you play as a human player). And the duplicate will gradually disappears (sometimes yes sometimes not). One more thing, the "original" character the duplicate catches will be hidden (adding health).
If you:
-Have a powerful teammate and you want to clone him/her.
-Have a dangerous enemy and you want to recover.
-One of your teammate's almost dead and you want him/her to "exist" again (the original teammate will be hidden for a bit long time, to add health).
Cast this and you'll be satisfied or whatever.

D+A - Teleport to Friend - 50 MP
Just some simple stuff... Phobos will create some annoying illusions to confuse his enemies while teleporting to one of his allies.
Casting this accurately may enable Phobos to temporarily avoid enemies due to his invulnerability when using it.

When you are injured press defend to roll (tip: punch the one who hit you so he/she will be stunned)
If your defense is broken press jump to avoid getting hit by falling (again, but I don't guarantee that you won't be hit by Super Punch).
When you are about to jump press attack to row backwards (100 MP cost) and when you land you can press attack continously to row again (still 100 MP).

If it doesn't work click the second one.
The file contains the "readme" file which has same information like my post.
The "circle-backup" file is an old one (the "Circle of Fear"), feel free to study it or just delete the file.

Lol, still no comments? Just checking "Releases" for Chars worthy of being uploaded by SirSomin...

Lest see... (Click to View)

-Easy installation
-Perfect Readme
-Great facepic-bg
-D>A
oNice sprites
oBesides that a usual D>A attack
-D^A
oIdea is good
oStrong dislike against the "disappeared"
oBeing capable of creating a 500hp clone of (f.e.) Firzen/Julian IS just overpowered (with bandits it's not a big deal, though)
-DvA
oNot changed
-DvA+J
oDoesn't seems like a own move, but rather like the usual control bug.
-D>J
oNice, though the firing sound could be better chosen ^^
-D^J
o o.o Clearly overpowered... a 1:1 mp-to-dmg conversion + low chase ball
o Bad manko: You can't end the stance without wasting some more mp... should have a time-limit or an abort-key
-D^J+A
o Quite useless... Rather shoot the balls from the position of the circle ^^
-D^J+J
o The idea isn't bad (the DC is neither), but instead using mp to make it explode, i usually prefer to just let it hit a close opponent (since it will explode after hitting him, too). Less mp, more dmg.
-DvJ
o Should have a higher range, not THAT much useful atm (imo)

Total:
Good Sprites, good DC, but the attacks are particulary imbalanced/useless.
A nice char overall, but could seriously need mprovements on some moves.
7/10

Not one of the few ueber-awesome chars on LFE, but sure worthy to get into LFE Fileplanet

-Easy installation ~Oh yay!
-Perfect Readme ~So my grammar's not THAT bad
-Great facepic-bg ~I thought that doesn't match, but thx
-D>A
oNice sprites Only recolor >.<
oBesides that a usual D>A attack
-D^A
oIdea is good~
oStrong dislike against the "disappeared" ~Don't get it
oBeing capable of creating a 500hp clone of (f.e.) Firzen/Julian IS just overpowered (with bandits it's not a big deal, though)~Well, the ball's state 3000 so it's easy to be destroyed
-DvA
oNot changed
-DvA+J
oDoesn't seems like a own move, but rather like the usual control bug.
-D>J
oNice, though the firing sound could be better chosen ^^~Okay then
-D^J
o o.o Clearly overpowered... a 1:1 mp-to-dmg conversion + low chase ball ~Will change it
o Bad manko: You can't end the stance without wasting some more mp... should have a time-limit or an abort-key ~Yeah there's a bug about it...
-D^J+A
o Quite useless... Rather shoot the balls from the position of the circle ^^ ~As u can see, the move's used if enemies get nearby and u don't have time to shoot
-D^J+J
o The idea isn't bad (the DC is neither), but instead using mp to make it explode, i usually prefer to just let it hit a close opponent (since it will explode after hitting him, too). Less mp, more dmg.~Hmm, if there's a lot of enemies you could just use that
-DvJ
o Should have a higher range, not THAT much useful atm (imo) ~It's pretty hard to hit multiple enemies u know

Total:
Good Sprites, good DC, but the attacks are particulary imbalanced/useless. ~Then I have to remake it
A nice char overall, but could seriously need mprovements on some moves. ~Idem
7/10 ~Phew

Not one of the few ueber-awesome chars on LFE, but sure worthy to get into LFE Fileplanet
