I know theres not much room for request so soon...
But do you think you can make one of his outfits based of Forte's armor?
It would be a pretty cool reference to the classic series. As the Zero color is to the X series.

I'd better finish my
Lemming
? I don't even have it started yet! I have the texture over Lucas which looks pretty convincing, but I haven't started animations. I'm too busy with my flying pyramid stage to start. Let me ask you a question. When you do animations, is it a good idea to go through and delete all the existing ones first, just to give you a clear palette?

It'd probably be easier to work with that way. If you want to steal any animations from brawl, they're all hosted on that one mediafire account.

Hey, everyone, I have some awesome news! I just finished my finals and moved out of my dorm, and now I've got an entire summer of free time! Progress begins again! (hopefully)

I am still looking for animators. Even if you just want to make one animation for the hell of it, it'll help immensely.

You can use, if you want, some of Naruto's animations which are in the Naruto Alpha package.
You only need to change the bone translation of those animations to match Megamans, but thats all.

Great for you. I just started college and too busy to brawl! D':

But good to know there'll be some progress in the near future.
Oh and congrats on your finals. Hope you did well...because im getting destroyed just by studying for mine.

THANK YOU for at lest posting BETA downloads.
I hate it when people in these forums have enough working screenshots to have at least 2 betas out already, but then choose to not release ANYTHING until the artist says it's "finished."

Tht takes too long and sometimes people give up. Although when artists give up they tend to at least post a character at the milestone they got to, in the end it just means most of us will wait months at a time and only EVER end up with a beta.

TO EVERYONE EVER: Stop taking so long to post something. If it doesn't contain major bugs, release it! Projects like these take amazing work, so it IS understood that there is waiting involved. I'm not telling anyone to work harder, or to hurry up their work. But when a beta is working ALWAYS post a DL!

Well arent you a little demanding? -_- Im sure they are trying there best to get progress in but I have couple things to say about this post


1. Why would they post a glitchy beta
2. Just be patient , I mean I know I asked if this post was dead or not but jeez
3. Even if its a minor bug I know I would only get what they feel is a perfect beta

It's just an effect used in TvC. It's a lot more noticeable next to Smash characters though. No way to fix it that I can think of.

And usually, I'm against betas that aren't at least slightly playable, but I posted mine just to show that I have done something.

Everyone, I think I might be in a bit over my head here.

I'm not good enough to do this alone. I've tried to make animations. They just wind up taking hours upon hours and still being terrible.

I need help with this. I need a team.

Right now, we're hardly a team. Everyone just sends in the odd animation they feel like doing. It's lack of organization and coordination that is stalling this project. I'm not blaming anyone, you've all done infinitely more for this project than I have. This is all on me. I call myself a leader, but I've hardly done any leading to warrant that title.

I know this sounds whiny and angsty, but really, it's more of a confession. I can't do this alone. I can't animate for crap, and I don't even know if I can use PSA well enough to make a full character. What I can do, and what I should have been doing a long time ago, is lead. I think I've got a good idea of what direction this project should go in, I'm just plain not good enough to do it. So, if you can animate, if you can PSA, if you can be of any help at all, let me know. I'll try to get my act together and get this project a lot more organized.

I want to see this finished. I want to play as Mega Man. He should have been in Smash Bros from the beginning. I'll see this project done even if it means I need to step aside and let someone else take over.

I'm going to crosspost this to the Fully New Character Archive. I don't really have any skills to contribute (trust me, I would if I could), but hopefully someone will take interest in this there. I really don't understand why he isn't getting the attention he deserves. My only idea is maybe that it's the Volnutt incarnation, but my experience online has been that Volnutt has quite the cult following, so I'm not sure about that.

I'd like to know how to rip animations, maybe I should get in contact with BSZ...
The method for checking the TvC animations was through a memory dump performed while emulating it in Dolphin, I think. I think Thanyou did it out of curiosity after he did the same thing for ToS2 for the Lloyd project. You'd just need to do it while you were in a battle where Volnutt was fighting.

Possibly, they're not sure. BSZ was saying stuff without actually knowing what was needed for the PSA. I think Eldiran still wants to do it over Link the most.

Oh okay. Good to know. Of course, it won't matter once the clone engine is out. But how many times have you heard someone say that, right? :p
