SBurb Strife Simulator (Free sprite resource!)

[Staff Deployment]

Alright, I figure I've been making you guys wait long enough, so have an update! (As always, check the changelog.) Nearly everything fighting-wise is finished, from this point I can just add whatever achievements at whatever time. What this means is it may almost be time for me to go into zombie mode for the next however long putting in all the characters and outfits and weapons and stages.

You'll notice that there's a Challenges tab now; this will be worked on very last, meaning that when I finish making Challenges, I'll consider the game complete. Not sure how many updates you'll be seeing from this point on, though I may release a couple characters/stages early! (I don't want to update everything I do as I go along, otherwise what would be the point of playing the finished game? :P)

AW YEAH BITCHES
i hope the update is for some ponography

I added got tiger(dead) to karkat's sheet, and made the background more contrasting with the white of the dream outfits.

show spoiler

hide spoiler

this took way to much effort

dude dude you forgot the intermediate between left foot step and right foot step
(it's exactly the same as standing, but his cape is flapping)
(this is very important because you don't want his cape to be smashing the ground fervently as he walks)

[Diin]

Awesome, just tried the new update. The only thing is, John is still overpowered compared to Dave.

That's odd. Their base damages are basically the same, and to be honest I think I do better playing as Dave than I do John :P

I added got tiger(dead) to karkat's sheet

Aw hells yes, thanks!

Question: Will the side specials remain as generic strong attacks for every character, or will they be made unique as well?

No, they'll be a bit more special for the other characters, I just got exceedingly lazy on John and Dave. :P

The new hoodsprite doesn't seem to be showing up on the character select screen, but it is used during the fight if you select the GT outfit.

Yeah, the preview graphic is seperate from the fighting sprites, though I figured having a hood-up sprite for the preview was fine as is

[Diin]

Alright, I think I can finally start adding characters.
I'll release two early, you guys can vote on which they should be. Also, achievement suggestions are welcome!

[Anthiena]

Terezi and Equius would be pretty awesome.

[Diin]

Those are actually the two I really wanted to do :P Though Sollux, Dirk and Jake would probably be fun as well

[youdont12know]

Jake and Jade, Jake because jake is awesome, and Jade because SHEETS.
Also, got halfway scorpiohammer using SORD on normal. anybody beat that yet?

EDIT: Bugs: Save game no work, godteirjohnscorphammer on beginner untouchable.

[Blastoking]

That's odd. Their base damages are basically the same, and to be honest I think I do better playing as Dave than I do John :P

Well I like using Dave more, but for some reason when I fight John, he just completely mashes attack and dodge and murders me.

[Diin]

Jake and Jade, Jake because jake is awesome, and Jade because SHEETS.

LOL, it would be nice to have the Jade sheets completed

Save game no work

It doesn't save yet. :P

Well I like using Dave more, but for some reason when I fight John, he just completely mashes attack and dodge and murders me.

Well, now that I look at it, John's beginning animations were faster than Dave's (And they really weren't supposed to be). I've been tweaking them a fair amount today, though maintaining balance is hard shit. @_@

Alright I understand, still it'd be hella awesome if you did fix it. Thanks for tweaking it though.

[Majora787]

:P Jumping off the edge into the lava on LOHAC lets you win any match by just taking five damage. I dunno how that can be fixed, but it probs should be.

And also, the AI seems to like following me off ledges.

[Staff Deployment]

I vote Terequius also.

Ooo achievements
Do they have silly names or are they just descriptions? And are you sure you don't want to wait until the game is finished before implementing them?

Anyway
LEGENDARY PIECE OF SHIT is win with the Sord against the Royal Deringer.
BITTER ASS FAMINE is win 3 duels in a row, no damage taken.
FLY PUPA is defeat an enemy without attacking him (ie making him fall off a cliff over and over again)
HA HA SPIDERS ARE GROSS is defeat Vriska, with John, using the Vrillyhoo Cascade Hammer.

[Menen]

Has anyone pointed out that under "Staff Deployment" you have "Dick" instead of "Dirk"

[Diin]

... are you sure you don't want to wait until the game is finished before implementing achievements?

Yep, the fighting portion of the engine is finished. Also, try to avoid X vs Y achievements, because that's where Challenges come in.

LEGENDARY PIECE OF SHIT is win with the Sord against the Royal Deringer.

Maybe!

... win 3 duels in a row, no damage taken.

man is that even possible

FLY PUPA is defeat an enemy without attacking him (ie making him fall off a cliff over and over again)

LOL. I like this, but I'm hoping to change the AI to attempt not jumping off cliffs/jumping back to the stage

Has anyone pointed out that under "Staff Deployment" you have "Dick" instead of "Dirk"

ahahaha i have no idea what you're talking about

[Staff Deployment]

YOUR PRAYING WROG would be spend three entire minutes without taking damage from the AI (spamming dodge like an imbecile)
probably bitter ass famine might be better for just one perfect victory instead of three?

OO OOH

PRANKSTER'S GAMBIT: Use only specials for an entire match.

EDIT/ADDITION: STALEMATE: Exchange a bunch of blows one by one with the AI in quick succession.
It's difficult to trick the AI into not dodging away during this, but it's manageable and I did a few times earlier. It's actually an achievement to pull it off.

[Diin]

PRANKSTER'S GAMBIT: Use only specials for an entire match.

Ooo, I'll probably add that one

[Varkarrus]

PRANKSTER MODE: Discover the secret button.

[Reality Glitch]

MiRAcLeS: Beat arcade mode twice in a row as Gamzee Makara both times w/o losing.

Also, I think Becquerel and the Exiles should make an appearance as while. Plus will you accept fan characters.

[Diin]

Also, I think Becquerel and the Exiles should make an appearance as well.

Maybe

Plus will you accept fan characters.

Uhh. Kind of. I'm planning on maybe including a character creator to make your own dude, so I would accept fan parts.

[youdont12know]

Fan parts. Teehee.

[oshawott]

Also, I think Becquerel and the Exiles should make an appearance as well.

Yeah, guardians could make some nice bosses.

[Blastoking]

Yeah, guardians could make some nice bosses.

If that were developed, you would have to make achievements for each one. Like if a pre scratch character beats a post scratch version of them self.

Ex:
Bro-Ception: Beat Bro with Dirk Strider

[oshawott]

Ex:
Bro-Ception: Beat Bro with Dirk Strider

Oh, or; Suited for crime: Beat jack noir with spades slick

[Blastoking]

Oh, or; Suited for crime: Beat jack noir with spades slick

Exactly, of course there'd probably also be an achievement for beating all counterparts of the characters. (Pre scratch have to beat Post scratch, Spades beat Jack, etc)

[Reality Glitch]

Self Fufilling Paradox: Defeat Snowman w/ The Black Queen or vice-versa.

[Punchy]

Nice update! I can't wait until you add in the other characters

And is it okay if my friend and I tackle the Beat Mesa? Although we might not get it actually done, but can we try if it's not already being attempted?
