Link by NapoleonJonamite/ThatIdahoGuy

I have decided to work on my own version of Link utilizing AxKing's sprites. Right now, my only complaints are the lack of fluidity when it comes to the animations, as well as limited animations, but I think I can make it work. If any of you have played around with my Sailor Moon characters, then you might know the gameplay format Link will have.

Things I would need (If Ax would be willing to sprite them):
-Taunt animation based on Smash Bros. for the N64
-Forward dash in the same style as my Sailor Saturn
-Make the animation used for standing LK more fluid (Add another frame, maybe?)
-Placing the Hookshot onto the character sprite itself, including chain (If possible, that way I can code this move into the character).

I also have a beta available for testing, but it will not be a public release until I have some, if not all, of the major gameplay bugs resolved in some way.

What a surprise.

Unfortunately I am very bored with Link and I've moved onto other things so I really don't feel like adding anything sprite-wise.

But you are in luck for there are lots of spriters here who may be willing to help.

It may benefit you as well to learn a little spriting yourself. Check out the tutorials here and give it a go.


HOWEVER,

I'd be happy to teach you personally 1 on 1 through a freeware, no sign up program called

If you agree to learn something I may help sprite maybe 1-2 animations but only for demonstration purposes. After that I will not be motivated to work any further than that.

I'll do it cause I really do love to teach

Well, one of those is really just one sprite.

I'm not much of an artist, and my laptop's trackpad may show you that. I'd still like to learn, but keep in mind that my laptop is a little on the fail side.

Don't be ridiculous, I've practically done everything for you, you don't need to know how to draw anything

I'll teach you how to make something new from something old, it'll be absolutely painless

Well then it is up to you. I only help those that want it that bad. I need dedicated people who want to produce results.

Send me your ID and password via PMs

Forward Dash and s.LK issues are done.

I have a different taunt right now as a placeholder.

More progress to come.

Great, here are some other links that may help you out.

Spoiler:

Remember don't be afraid to try something new, also with that program "MOSWorskop", remember there is a bug in saving in .png format with a palette, so instead try to save as .pcx format. Also try copying the images before saving just in case it crashes again.

Gimp is a good tool to, if you are comfortable with that, then use it to. Sometimes using a combination of tools can yield greater results.


Anyway, I expect to see great things from you, good luck Kaepora Gaebora

I loved Ax's Link, so looking forward to your update of it!!

He's doing some great stuff with this one. I saw some smart palette designs of Link, here's one I noticed.

Personally I saw this as a waste of time and tedious work for such a small feature to be implemented generally in any mugen character but I know a lot of mugen gamers out there like variety features and small touches of detail like this so I am glad someone is taking up this challenging task for the smart palette for fans out there.

I am sure it'll be lovely to see in action. I just hope it doesn't consume too much of the editor's free time. It looks like a long hard task to me? I can't imagine going back to every sprite and making color separations

Anyway good luck to you sir and looking forward to seeing those new animations in action. (hopefully more to!)

Very cool. Will he have any new moves?

I may post a preview vid when I have a bit more progress.

looking forward to the video

Hit a snag, and it came with trying to code the Hookshot. Unfortunately I have yet to find a solution, and my free time is now gone thanks to finals week coming. I don't know when I'll be able to resume working on this project.

Were you going to do more than just a hookshot? You could move onto something else and leave the hookshot issue for the last step to completing the wip.

Why not do a bomb toss or add a fairy striker? I assumed you were going to do much more with this wip. As soon as you come back to this, please put in some time to do more than just a smart palette/hookshot upgrade. When someone decides to take up something like this I always expect greater.

I had plans for the bombs, but I then became indecisive and left them out. I was trying to not overload him with moves just because I have a multitude of sprites.

Fair enough.

You know I think you should ditch the bobble wand move, now that I look at it again, it looks a tad over powered?

I also recommend elsewhere that close rang attacks be made. Maybe one punch move and one kick move and use it for all the variations of their attack groups.

Here's an animation idea created by some guy named Saturn.

A close range punch could be made in the same manner. It would be a small alteration but make a significant difference I believe in the overall gameplay.

The sword could also be upgraded to something a little more broader to.

Well anyway that's just something to think about.

good luck on your exams then
