Early look, hope you enjoy and replies for discussion are highly appreciated

Good to see some more Batman villains. Good luck, Penguin doesn't seem like the easiest to incorporate into a fighting game.

Looks nice. But I do not understand the helix coming out of the hat. May be I missed something in the comics?

Reminds me of Inspector Gadget:

is great I wait smart palettes!!! and yes another evil man for batman!

It looks very cool, a looooong awaited Batman foe finally come to mugen.

Can't wait!!!

Liking the progress so far.
Didn't think I'd see a Penguin WIP.

We need a Penguin in Mugen, one of Batman's most iconic villains. Great job.

Simply one (1) of the best MMV's 5th Birthday Event MUGEN WIPs man!

Very nice!
Good luck with this wip!
We need more bat villians and Penguin and Two Face most wanted here!=)

really cool preview best of luck on him!!!!

It's really funny to be able of playing with this kind of characters you wouldn't see in a commercial video-game. But this is part of the greatness of Mugen, that everyone could be mugenized.
Classic comic-book villains are a must and The Penguin is one of them. Thanks for bringing him.
I think the rolling attack doesn't fit the character as he is not very athletic. I would use a sliding penguin (animal) helper instead.
Great work.

Thank you all for your feedback

I'm the one to be blamed for that. You're right, it is a bit out of character (more close to the Mad Hatter or Inspector Gadget, than the Penguin).

In principle the penguin had the helix coming out from the umbrella, not the hat. The natural thing to do was to have him rise the umbrella, wait from the helix to come out, and have him fly. However, the Penguin already used the umbrella to hit and to guard, and consequenlty programming air hits/guards in which the umbrella was already used to fly would have been a mess.

For this reason I decided to go for a slightly "out of character" option, which was more feasable to code.

Personally I think that the roll is a funny move for a character which is small and already roundish. Anyway, it was also the only special we could think of that was not a helper or a projectile (just to add a bit of variation in the moves).

Anyway, don't worry... many penguin-based helpers will be avalable (volzzilla did a excellent work on those).

I understand, it's a creative license you took on the character. Sounds good to me, may be you could add some funky or caricature special and hyper moves. I think the "Rolling attack" and the "Helix hat jump" fit with this type of characteristics.
Hope to see more of this char soon. Good luck.
