Balrog's Fixed Saxton Hale - Reports of my death, yadayada

[Isaac940]

Couple quick things:

-when I was PORoll, I was gaining rage and eventually was able to use the rage, but the HUD gauge wasn't filling and the rage warning didn't show up.

-CF's obituary still says that he punched someone, even though its a kick now. Also, the animation seems to go by at an extremely fast rate.

-I think one of the See-Duo (I can never remember which one is which) might not be getting his colors right (I think it was the ramming one), though that may be because the only time I saw one was when it was a bot. Also, the server crashed when I killed the one that didn't have his colors right when it was said bot. If it helps I used flame sword on it on Magnetman's stage.

I have a question.
Do the boss colours Change depending on the map. Some maps Saxton would be red and green.

Hotfix uploaded to BEST-EVER. (The other stuff is either a WONTFIX at this point or too trivial to bother with right now.)

Hogales don't appear often enough, nuff said.

That's because they are stupidly, stupidly fast. Summon some in an enclosed space sometime, I dare ya. (I'll make them appear more often once I tone their speed down and make them do something else interesting.)

[Hallan Parva]

something interesting

Hogales can spit out Mets that seek out players not named Scrooge McDuck and move slightly faster than regular Mobies. The catch is that they can be shot, and dealing damage to a Hogale reduces its remaining time.

[Jatea]

Since this is now officially a thing

Will you be taking suggestions?

I still have my giant compilation of Every Suggestion Ever (And I even updated it for today)

[ChaoticChao]

I still have ideas to give too

[FTX6004]

When ninja spy lost two or one lives is said gentle spy lost his live you must rename it to ninja spy.

[Rozark]

Um, he's supposed to be named Gentle Spy.

It's from TF2.

[HD_]

Actually, it is Ninja Spy's skillset; for some godforsaken reason Silver switched the name and aesthetics to Gentle Spy.

[Rozark]

Oh ok. I thought he was referencing the gentleman part in him.

[Balrog]

Whoops, you're right. On my to-do list.

In other news, I'm planning on adding DarkAura's Quote (possibly with Curly Brace) as a hale to replace NeoDS. Thoughts, suggestions, help from DarkAura? (I'm hoping to get a new version out by next Sunday for a local event.)

[FTX6004]

I hope i will get Gilgamesh skin finish to next sunday so i can put it here.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Well, considering that Silver's kinda dead and you seem to have taken over, would you consider adding any one of my hale suggestions?

Akuma

(click to show/hide)

Boss Name: Akuma

Theme: http://www.mediafire.com/?qfwd1gkaqbn7743

Skin: Akuma (W.I.P.)

Health: Below Average

Speed: Same as Saxton's

Attack: Punching (Or a kick using Charge Kick's sprites.)

Secondary Attack: Gou Hadouken. A light purple, large projectile that rips through enemies. Takes up the whole Super Jump gauge.

Super Jump: Shoryuken. Attacks with a rising uppercut which annihilates any enemy caught in it.

Rage: Shun Goku Satsu. (He floats forward, similar to YD Classes Pharaoh Man's alt. Once he touches somebody, he stuns them and anyone in a wide radius while attacking them repeatedly, ending in an explosion. Anyone in range will be killed. The victims will get a status effect similar to Flash Stopper, except black and covering the whole screen for a more accurate effect. His float time will have a timer, so he has to reach someone before it runs out. )

Name: ARMLESS SONIC

Skin: ARMLESS SONIC (W.I.P.)

Theme: (Undecided, though Cave Johnson's theme works just as well.)

Health: Same as Hale, or lower.

Speed: Fast.

Color Scheme: Blue and Dark Blue. Outlined like this.

Attack: N/A. He does collision damage to people.

Rage: Speed Up. His speed doubles for about 20 seconds, though it slowly drains his HP.

Super Jump: Just a plain ol' super jump.

Extra info: Stemmed from a backup scrap sprite I had lying around where I needed to edit Sonic's arms in that stance. Kapus saw it months later and found it hilariously creepy, and dubbed him "ARMLESS SONIC". He always glares at the ground for unknown reasons. When he spots someone, he charges at them at full throttle, and nobody knows exactly what happens when he gets them. The only advice when you see him is to run. Because apparently if he sees you, You Are Already Dead.
I'm actually pretty upset that Slenderman stole the idea I wanted for him, in that you're supposed to avoid him--not fight him.

* Name must always be in full caps.
* He has no voice.
* Obituary is "Victim was GOTTEN by ARMLESS SONIC."

Barbatos Goetia

(click to show/hide)

Name: Barbatos Goetia
(HARD MODE ONLY)

Skin: Tomahawk Goetia

Theme:

Sounds: Here

Health: Same as Saxton Hale, or higher.

Speed: Moderate.

Color Scheme: Already implemented in the skin. Give him dark greenish outlines though.


As seen here.

Attack: Slashes an enemy with a huge axe. It's basically a wider ranged Slash Claw that deals massive damage, but has a low rate of fire.

Secondary attack: Shoulder Dash. He rams his shoulder into the enemy, paralyzing them for a few moments while dealing minor damage. It also knocks them back quite a bit. (thinking of it now, it's like YD Knight Man's shield dash.)

Super Jump: Upper Slash. Not as high as Hale's jump, but it doubles as an attack that throws enemies skyward.

Rage: There are a few ideas here.

1: Genocide Breaker: Fires a huge Force Beam out of his axe.

2: No Items Ever!: He also gets a different rage whenever someone uses an item. Using it will either suck in anyone around him, or have him charge towards his enemy and beat the living daylights out of them. All while saying "No Items Ever!"
Or as OrangeMario suggested, "he should be given a separate rage bar for No Items Ever/make it a Auto attack that has him rip through everyone to get to the item user, stopping at a linedef that separates the floor from a death pit or something."
OR, an idea that came to me now. Two ideas, actually. The first of the two is to replace everyone's items in the beginning of the match with a duplicate. When one of those "duplicate items" are used, Either one of the two happens: (whichever works better)

Barbatos teleports right in front of the player, and murders him.
Barbatos himself "vanishes from sight". He is unable to move, or be hurt, or anything. People can also clip through him, (if possible) so that it gives off the essense that he actually teleported. Meanwhile, the item the person used summons a Barbatos monster or projectile or something, which proceeds to murder them. The item also freezes them, so that they can't get away. (Or not, maybe you can leave it out. But it's not like you could get away in the first place, considering how fast he moves in the original.) Once the deed is done, the monster vanishes and the hale returns. If anyone is standing in the place where he's supposed to be standing, Telefrag time.

The second of the two ideas is to either completely remove everyone's items at the start of the match. Since it's gonna be a guaranteed Hard Mode whenever you fight him, might as well. Either that or give him a special move/item/whatever, which creates an explosion that destroyes the items of whoever's in range. One time use only.

3: World Destroyer: Automatically respawns as using Exit Unit, and begins charging his axe with power while standing in one place. (Just to make it a little more balanced, he waits about 3-4 seconds before actually charging.) A timer appears, and the survivors have to beat him down until he stops. He takes no actual damage while charging, but has a separate bar to show how much more hits he can take before losing his rage. When he stops, though, he unleashes a non-lethal explosion that blows people back, just so he can recuperate. Oh right, and if the survivors don't beat him in time? Game over. He slams the axe down on the ground, creating an explosion so big that it wipes out every last player no matter where they are.

The timer should start at 160 seconds, or so. But depending on how many players there are, it starts lower. -2 seconds per player. The minimum is 90 seconds. This may sound high to some, but remember that there are often two phases to dealing with this for the survivors. Finding him, and stopping him.

It's up to you which one we should use, however, I'm voting for World Destroyer. A large forcebeam sounds scary, but it's kinda generic. Though if possible, I would love to get all 3 in there.

Smash The Echidna

(click to show/hide)

Name: Smash The Echidna

Skin: <-Click for download.


Theme:

Health: 215 Per Player

Speed: Moderate.

Color Scheme:

Attack: Punches an enemy. Pressing fire repeatedly can chain the punches up to three hits for a full combo, but requires a cooldown afterwards. (Each punch does 35 damage.)

Secondary Attack: "Deflection". Basically swipes his hand to deflect projectiles back at the enemies. Can deflect just about every single projectile, though the rate of fire is low.

Super Jump: "Super Uppercut" Uppercuts into the sky, ripping through and skyrocketing anyone who gets hit.

Rage: "High Tension". Basically a powerup that doubles his speed, firing rate, lets him jump higher without using super jump, and alters his air control to let him far jump. His attack also changes to emit a small explosion when it comes in contact with anything, for wider range, though loses it's combo'ing capabilities. He also has double armor against things and lower knockback.
Double Rage: "Divine Fist" If he gets rage again, while still in High Tension, then he sends out a shockwave that stuns everyone near him. He leaps up into the air, and then thrusts back down and causes a huge explosion that annihilates anyone and everyone in range. The explosion creates a pillar of light that reaches the sky (though we can be reasonable and cut it as low as need be, but it should still reach fairly high and rapidly damage anyone somehow caught inside.) He is completely impervious to all attacks during this, however, it takes down about a third of his HP to use. (he takes damage during the explosion) It is very possible for him to die like this.

Extra info: When in High Tension, his colors change to look like this.
Obituaries:

* Normal Attack: "Victim was killed by Smash (Player)'s Skull Cracker."
* Secondary Attack "Victim was knocked aside by Smash (Player)."
* Super Jump "Victim was Skyrocketed by Smash (Player)'s Super Uppercut."
* Normal Attack during Rage: "Victim was destroyed by Smash (Player)'s Spirit Blast."
* Double Rage: "Victim could not withstand the power of Divine Fist."
* Divine Fist Suicide: "Smash (Player) was overtaken by his own power..."

T.A.C.

(click to show/hide)

Name: T.A.C

Skin: (Undecided)

Theme:

Health: Very Low

Speed: Very Fast

Color Scheme: Black and Dark Green.

Attack: Weapon Thief: He steals a weapon from his enemy, and adds it to his inventory. He can use whatever weapon he can get his hands on.
Obituary: Player was robbed blind by T.A.C. (Player)

Secondary attack: N/A

Super Jump: Jet Pack. He slowly ascends upward, using the super jump gauge as a fuel bar instead of using it all up in one go.  

Rage: Item Scatter: Causes everyone in a wide radius to drop all their weapons and items, save for the Megabuster, and have them scatter all over the place. If he's fast enough, he can steal a lot of things. (He cannot use E/M tanks, however, and discards them upon pickup.) It deals no damage, however, closer enemies will be stunned momentarily.

Rawk Hawk

(click to show/hide)

Name: Rawk Hawk

Skin: Undecided. (Though one might say Tomahawk Man in honor of the player of the same name)

Theme:

Health: Moderate

Speed: Fast

Color Scheme: Yellow and Orange

Attack: (I'm debating over having Charge Kick to compliment his slide attack, or just have a regular punch/kick attack. Only reason I'm debating over it is because some people might think it's a bit OP. Either way, it's a two hit kill, and he has a moderately faster firing rate than most other hales.)
Obituary: Player couldn't stand up to Rawk Hawk (Player).

Secondary attack: Somersault: Activated like Topspin. While in the air, perform a somersault and bounce off of enemies to deal about 40 damage. You're sent upward if you land a hit, in order to be able to combo. Takes down half the super jump bar. Overlapped by the Rage if the Rage Bar is full.
Obituary: Player was stomped by Rawk Hawk (Player)'s Somersault.

Super Jump: Ceiling Grab: Launches self skyward and grabs onto the ceiling. (Technically works like Gravityman's ceiling walk) While holding onto the ceiling, movement is slowed. The attack changes to shaking down junk from the ceiling in random places. (Falling Dust Crushers)
Obituary: Player got crushed by one of Rawk Hawk (Player)'s falling pieces of junk.

Rage: Sky Dive: "Time to RAWK!" Flips airborne, and takes flight. He has Rushjet type of flight, but a reverse recoil that keeps him moving forward at a high speed until he either hits a wall or an enemy, in which he bounces off into the air. (Comparable to YD Classes Blizzard Man.) The attack is instant death. When he bounces off, he performs a Somersault, and can bounce off of enemies again--except this time it takes down 80 damage. (And before and after using, he has to pose. =P)
Obituary: Player felt the RAAAWWK from Rawk Hawk (Player).

The Ultimate Chimera

(click to show/hide)

Name: The Ultimate Chimera

Skin: The Ultimate Chimera (Don't quite remember who made it.)

Theme: On hold. (I need to look through the Mother 3 soundtrack. I never actually got up to that part of the game. ;_;)

Health: ????

Speed: Starts out moderate, but can accelerate to a rather terrifying speed while running in a straight line. Can't strafe well.

Color Scheme: Normal Chimera colors.

Attack: Chomp. The attack is slightly slow, and he has to stop to use it, but has frightening range. (due to it's huge mouth.)
Obituary: Player eaten by the Ultimate Chimera (Player)!

Secondary Attack: Roar. The Ultimate Chimera lets out a deafening roar which stuns everyone around him, allowing him to pick off the survivors. Doesn't do any damage, and takes up the super jump gauge.

Super Jump: The super jump is a great leap forward. If he hits a wall, he springs upward.

Stun Info: Like Slenderman, the Ultimate Chimera can be stunned. However, you cannot attack him head on. You have to attack his back in order to rack up the stun gauge. (Which takes half as much as Slenderman before actually getting stunned.) He's completely immune to explosives and AOE weapons, however, so don't count on that.

Smash Daisaku

(click to show/hide)

Name: Smash Daisaku

Skin: Most likely M. Bison by LlamaHombre.

Theme:

Health: Moderate - High

Speed: Below Average

Color Scheme: Red and Black

Attack: Spiral Head: Randomly fires either one of two projectiles:
1: Fires a twin set of fireballs which fluctuate up and down (or left and right, which would probably be more practical.) Deals 50 damage each.
2: Fires a single homing fireball, which hovers upward before homing in late. The homing fireball is noticeably slower than the twin fireballs, but deals 75 damage.
Obituary: Player was roasted by Smash Daisaku (Player)'s Spiral Head.

The mainfire changes in mid-air to Bravoo Reg. It'd basically work like a shorter range version of Springman's punch, except he extends his leg to kick. Complete OHKO.
Obituary: Player was kicked out by Smash Daisaku (Player)'s Bravoo Reg.

Secondary attack: Bomb: Tosses a bomb that explodes with blue flames. Consumes entire super jump gauge.
Obituary: Player was blown to bits by Smash Daisaku (Player)'s bomb.

Super Jump: Jet Pack. He boosts upward and has a very short time to hover around in flight before falling.

Rage: After Burner: He performs his superjump and has full flight capabilities (with a constant forward thrust). In this flying state, he can toss down as many bombs as he wants. Using the altfire will charge up a spinning dash attack, which consumes the entire super jump gauge. Rage runs out after 60 seconds or so.

I have quite a handful here, as you can see. I'd really like to see some of these get in. I've even started making HUDS for a couple of them. (Akuma and Rawk Hawk.)

[DarkAura]

Then I'll have to tone down the version of Quote I already made. What's the plan on Roll-Curly, though? I'd say she should use the Machine Gun (with paper cut-like damage and a not so fast firing rate) and using the Nemesis (OHKO projectiles for about ten seconds) for her rage. For re-tooling Mega-Quote for teaming up with Roll-Curly, he would probably use the Spur and maybe fire a barrage of Super Missiles as his rage.

What I urgently need to know is how the Spur would work.

[Balrog]

Spur would probably be like Laser Buster; uncharged for a meh-damage shot, charge level 1 for a moderate-damage small laser, charge level 2 for recolored quickbeams. (Unless my charged weapons keep crashing, of course; then the shots would be ~34 damage.) Quote's rage would be Super Missile spam for a limited period (or limited ammo.) Curly would use the Machine Gun (fast, but low-damage and with a recharging ammo supply) with the rage summoning Clones like the ones from Wind Fortress.

EDIT: Also, DA, please PM me your current work done on Quote and Curly.
