[Mod] LF2 Timelapse (open source)

[JCostal]

I need your opinions On the subject: new general moves & inputs

(1) Should we add a new input [defend + attack] to most/all characters, to counter from the 'defend hit' frames? [yes/no]

The effectiveness and kind of countermove depends on the character, and we're aiming to maintain game balance.


(2) Should we make use of a hit_a tags with special moves, i.e. Henry's D>A, to allow some characters for a slower but stronger version of a move? [yes/no]

(1) The idea is great. The problem that came across when I trying to implement a similar mechanism was conflicts in the commands (inputs).

For example:
An enemy on your back gonna punch! You turn, defend and press A for a counter-attack. But the character performs a D>A.

OK. You can DataChange to give priority order to execute the counter-attack. But from there comes another question: what if the player wants to use D>A instead of a counter-attack?
Its a nice implementation. But difficult.


(2) For sure.

counter-attack possibility:

I suppose it would be a command that consumes MP (otherwise it becomes overpower and strangle the action), you could implement something like instant-cast. An alternative version of the skill with fast wait values...
?
That is just a suggestion. I don't know if that's what you're looking for.
