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

[tsukiyomaru0]

Hm, apparently, there's some persisting issues...
First I witnessed was apparently a decorate crash caused by Ra Thor's death. Second was that there's still a heavy script loop, but I cannot tell what causes it this time.

[ChaoticChao]

Just wondering, did anyone see my hale pair idea?

(click to show/hide)

Meta Knight & Galacta Knight
sprite: I don't know yet but there is a meta knight already made from Kirby's adventure (sort of)
health: (Meta): below average (Galacta): above average
speed: Both are fast in speed
weapon: (Meta): Galaxia (Galacta): beam lance
weapon description: They slash out like the flame sword wihout the flame(more like Gilgamesh)
rage: (Meta): Mach Tornado (Galacta): Sword Beam
rage description: (Meta): Meta knight places tornado holds around him and heals up to 1000 hp (Galacta): Galacta Knight reaches out with the laser from his sword(Thundera Claw) long recharge
theme: Galacta Knight theme from Kirby's return to dream land
I don't know if I should do voice because Galacta Knight doesn't speak
Instead of jumping, Gizmo said they should fly(multiple jumps), and i agree

Well, the MAIN cause of major crashes has been dealt with, I can see, but... a sub cause has reared its head. What could it be? As if I know.

Since people are posting boss ideas, I'll send mine:

(click to show/hide)

Name: Super Metal Sonic
Skin: Metal Sonic(This will be a problem since I need permission and the creator isn't on CS anymore)
Music: Not sure at the moment...

Totally redundant backstory: Metal Sonic survived his last battle and was searching for Chaos Emeralds all alone. One day, he found an energy similar to the power of Chaos Emeralds. He inherited said energy and his powers improves hundred times. However, he lost control of himself and started causing destruction everywhere. A group of fighters from the Robot Matser Competition found this unstable robot and try to subdue it.

Colour: Gold, turns blue after rage and back to gold few seconds after THAT happens.
Health: Below average(low enough to balance his powers, but if very low, his rage fills faster)
Speed: Slightly high
Weaknesses: Close range weapons and Hard Knuckle

Attack: Energy Shot(Fires a mid-ranged energy blast, NOT instant kill)
Obituary: "%o was outright destroyed by Super Metal Sonic(%k)'s Energy Shot!"
Item: Generic Super Jump
Rage: Hyper Metal Mode(He turns invincible and dashes forward. He also leaves a trail of sparkles. Touching him in this state is insta-kill but the sparkles only do slight damage. While dashing, he also fires a few homing missiles, maybe instant kill as well. After the rage is done, he changes from gold to blue and he cannot move. He becomes very vulnerable, but he recharges for a few seconds and returns back to Super Mode right after.)
Obituary: "%o was obliterated by Hyper Metal Sonic(%k)!"

Voices: Maybe use his robotic sounds from the 'modern era'...

You know instead of cutting boss lines to save room, you could have just converted them all to compressed OGGS like I mentioned earlier.

Well this problem could easily be solved by converting the sounds and musics to OGGS. Compressed OGGS, at that. I highly doubt Roll's theme was compressed, despite being an OGG. This could cut down on the size tremendously.

Originally I had a semi-detailed post about why this needs to happen (Hey, the mysterious bloat to 51 MB didn't happen without any reasons)
But my fucking mouse went and killed the tab instead of hitting the search bar

So let's just say this:

COMPRESS YOUR SHIT

So, I went looking around in the file and I looked in the music folder
I notice 2 things:
-Oversized music files (Almost 1 MB each; some are over 3 MB; CSMUS hits a staggering 8 MB)
-Poorly looped music (only excusable in the case of the 2 songs that have lyrics; some of the other songs have proper looping [no fadeouts/jump-cuts])

So I cut down the worst of the bunch in terms of file size (CSMUS and TSUTMUS)
I forgot what the original values were (because I replaced them, of course)

But they went down by a WHOLE LOT
TSUTMUS went down to 2.35 MB, a pretty big downsize from like 5 MB
I replaced CSMUS with Labyrinth Fight (from 8 MB to 4 MB) and then I decided to compress that for comparison's sake; it went down to 990 KB

So there's already a clear difference between file sizes when you add in Audacity to the mix (and I was using 1.2.6 the entire time; I didn't even know that it updated until I checked the website today)

You should also

LOOP YOUR SHIT (although it's not as important)

There's some songs here that don't properly loop (They have fade-outs, fade-ins, and stuff like that)
Like [stock] CSMUS and SLENMUS

Looping songs can also help with cutting down file sizes (My CSMUS/Labyrinth Fight went down from 990 KB to 496 KB; that's nearly a 50% reduction!)

You see, regular video game soundtracks usually loop once and then they fade out
So it makes sense that if you loop a song, it'll cut down the file size by a lot

Name: Squidward Tentacles (I'll look for voice clips later)

After being harrassed by Spongebob for almost ten years, he finally snaps and learns how to hypnotize people with his clarinet, death and destruction follow, and his reign of anger somehow ends up in Megaman's universe.

Theme:

Placeholder Skin: Mega Water S. by Audiophile

Coloring: Skull Barrier Cyan/Metal Blade Brown

Health: Perhaps Lower than average?

Speed: Faster than usual

Weakness (if applicable): Probably Electricity

Resistance: Water and Sound

Attack (Not really): I'm Squidward!: Clarinet, Basically Ra Thor's Hypnosis, but without a use limit.

Rage: We're all Squidward!: All players within a small radius become hypnotized.

Minion Skin: BubbleMan?

Minion attack: Punch, just like Ra Thor's Minions, because I can't think of anything unique at the moment for them.

Minion Coloring: Seeman Blue all around.

Okay, been playing Dynasty Warrior and...
Name: Lu Bu
Skin: Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors Advance, Yamatoman or an edit of Yamatoman to look like Lu Bu
Voice Clips: None found, needs to be ripped from Dynasty Warriors (any version of it). Should only have voice for appearing, victory (every survivor dies), defeat (he dies, durp)
Health:: Minimum 1500, should never exceed 3000
Speed:: 100% (Normal Megaman speed)
Strength: Halves damage from Slash Claw, Top Spin, Flame Sword, Yamato Spear, Knight Crush, Duo Fist.
Weakness: Double damage from Ice Slasher, Thunder Claw, Centaur Flash, Shadow Blade, Proto Buster, Ballade Cracker.
Main Attack: Swings his halberd forward, fast, has a 50% longer reach, but slows his movement to 1/4 for the duration of the attack.
Super Jump: Kind like Scrooge's old (or current) Super Jump, causes a minor "quake" around him that doesn't kill but stuns for two seconds and lifts everyone from the ground. Can't be used during Rage.
Rage: Musou: He attacks ten times in a row while moving forward with every attack and being invulnerable to everything. During the rage, Lu Bu can jump but cannot move. If it is used when his health is under 500, it becomes True Musou, and he then attacks 20 times instead and causing stun on anyone who gets too close to him for the duration of True Musou.
Extra: Can't be pulled down by Gravity Hold, nor takes extra damage based on his height from the floor.

Wait do this means we need o unlock the topic or if we like balrog's saxton hale more than silversin's we could do nothing then. :EDIT: i think we don't need a dark bowser skin.

[Super Bros Bros]

Can there be a release of both the Quote and Curly skin?
It would really be cool

Just because he is visiting the site doesn't mean he will post guys, so until he contacts a mod to get it unlocked I would stop being really creepy and monitoring when he is on.

Will work on it eventually before the next weekend and after I get the boss skins done perfectly.

As for the old topic, it should be used as a boss suggestion dumping area. Y'know, so we don't pile fifty pages worth of unnecessary shit in a pure topic like this.

Last time I checked there already was a quote skin.

That would've been fine if it didn't get locked.

[FTX6004]

Here is it ninja spy but i can't show it and i didn't put the sword on him becuz hes having claw.
If we need shadowman skin more than this i will not make it.
