Thank you!

For buggy-er character and enemies, their animation should be choppier and disjointed to really create the feeling that your fighting something that’s really really wrong.

Okay! I’ll try my best to make it choppier! (Wow, I figured out how to quote!)

[Dol_Boonsomchin]

I’ve created a layout sketch concept! Apparently, I suck with camera angles (@Crafter_Flance , where are you man :( we need ya) so the camera may seem a bit off. However, I’m proud with how the result turned out to be. I hope this helps other animators working on the game!

Yeah, the camera angles suck. Feel free to hop into the .Wick file and draw over the concept. Then, simply copy and paste the frames into the original project through a different tab.

This seems a bit reminiscent of an older idea i had

Forum Fighters: Rewritten (File: Post #2431)

2 suggestions temperi as a quickplay fighter a new element of story, and a new element of choice as you may know, every fighter has different stats, but temperi is just temperi. Here’s where my idea comes in. By the time the events of our story takes place, humans have found a way to artificially increase their abilities with body mods. At the beginning of a story mode battle, temperi can choose a mod to enhance one stat from her base., one for attack, one for jump, one for speed, and one fo…

oh before we get too far, theres something somewhat important to talk about. currently we make the characters face right in their animations, and all their animations when facing left are just mirrored images of the facing-right ones. that also means that players just switch their dominant hand for no good reason, and any text or other asymmetry isn’t shown correctly.

do we not care that much about this, or do we want to fix this?

[Watrmeln]

my hair doesn’t look too good reversed, so i kinda care.
ps. im left handed

[mlgcoolguys_1]

We should note this down and at least keep it in mind when we are going on…
It’s a rather small(ish) problem tho, and it won’t mess up anything too serious if we add it late.

can we please talk about how we are gonna bind our keys for single player first? ;-;

[the-predutshons]

yo do yo guys need a intro to the game

[mlgcoolguys_1]

a–

hey… who are you? what do you need?

[the-predutshons]

well i was asking if i could help with forum fighter
also i’m the creator of s.s

[mlgcoolguys_1]

well… we could always use more active contribution…

you claim you want to help to make an intro? what do you mean by that

[MrDashell]

We already have an intro when loading up the game.

[the-predutshons]

oh… uuuuuh this is awkward do you guys have a full roster cuz i have ninjoe from s.s

[MrDashell]

you can’t just walk up and ask for a character. you have to work on the game enough to earn a character.

[the-predutshons]

ok i understand bye see yall later

[mlgcoolguys_1]

bye? didnt you want to work on the project?

[Watrmeln]

Awkward.
Also, when designing our layouts we need to be laptop/60/80% keyboard inclusive. Most laptop keyboards don’t have numpads so we can’t use them without hindering compatibility

[Dol_Boonsomchin]

I do think this problem is worth looking into. I think for the left attacks there should be more moves and abilities, not just a copy and paste version of original attacks. However if there is another problem, we should focus on that first.

[mlgcoolguys_1]

Ok how about this

Notes and explaination:

• Q is to allow players to drop down from thin platforms
• S is to crouch, the reason these are different buttons is so the player can choose to crouch on a thin platform
• W is for selecting/interacting since SPACE is already a jump button
• the arrow keys determine the actual attack used. For example, I press the up arrow key along with E, I produce the “up” attack for the character (eg. Baron’s spear attack)
  I can also hold jump while pressing up and then pressing E to create a “up Arial”

[Dol_Boonsomchin]

Sounds nice! But for the crouching, do we need to move the hitbox? I’m not the best with coding (I’m the artist and possible animator so I don’t know)
