Shocker 1.0 upload, Shocker 2.0 and other plans

Last edited by BigPimp on January 25th 2022, 12:47 pm; edited 2 times in total

Hey everyone, just realised i never uploaded updated Shocker version separately
he was a beta, i think he can be promoted to 1.0 now
some things have been added, others replaced, some were taken out, but i think this is better version overall
its the same version included in Spider-man mugen, putting it here as a separate download maybe just to replace it on the download page, etc:

Code:: www.mediafire.com/file/3w9f50l1ckw29lr/Shocker.rar/file

but the point of the topic is more about future plans for him
wil.li.an new portrait he made for shocker
at first i wanted to edit portrait to fit the character (they look pretty different), but then i thought, why not update the character to fit the portrait?
i had plans to do it long before my disappearance, but since i lost my backups to the character sprites, i dropped that idea
but its still pretty double, longer, but double:

dark pants and white eyes will be an optional palette feature, the main point is more neat half-transparent net on him, not just solid-colored
so, the question is, do you guys think is it worth it? and if it is, which net is better, 1. or 2.?

also that optional modern (dark pants, white eyes) palette would have a spectacular spider-man voiceclips, as well as unique intros made by Arkady (it was the plan originally, but we just wanted to release it and we put everything into 1 mode, making it alittle bit of a mess, thats why some of those old things are removed from this 1.0 update, for now)

ps. in any case, first of all i wanted to update Deathstrike and Sinister from betas to 1.0, so this is long-term plans for shocker

I would just keep the original with color separation to have the new aperence I don't think the netting is worth it

for sure number one, I always liked your Shocker, but I used another version for the sake of a more modern look with trousers, so glad you intend to update this version. cheers

Just a personal preference.. I like the original a lot more. It def give's off more TAS vibes.

As for the portrait's I think the eye's on the second one have more resemblance to TAS.

I also think the color separation could be enough because in old version you can distinguish the net also during the game and during shocker movements
But the shocker with 1st net is awesome and well sprited

well, to be honest with you guys, im also kinda torn between old and new one...
i remember back in the day most of the people said old one looked somewhat messy, and new one looked neat, so it was pretty much just my preference vs everyone else's

i personally also like the old one, because it resembles TAS look much more
but new one looks modern, and makes sprites look higher quality (2. at least)

if i had my backups it couldve been literally done in a day, so i wouldve just made 2 versions and let everyone choose between them, but now, yeah... im not sure it is worth it myself

and i originally tried to edit wil.li.an portrait, since it is unquestionably better in quality than the old one, to match the character, but couldnt do it without ruining it (eyes and net are the most distinct higher quality part and they dont really match the old character design, but by replacing them it becomes almost the same portrait, as the old one)

i guess i would have to put it off, for now and take my time to deathstrike and sinister
deathstrike has been polished and fixed over the years, so she is just missing a throw to be updated to 1.0
but sinister has plenty to do still to come out of beta
thanks for feedback, guys

i prefer number 1.. more realistic.. but try to make a good separation colour so we can have also old one suit

i think color separation actually already done by someone.. just for the old version
maybe ill just port those color separated sprites to new version at some point, it shouldnt take long

All of your stuff is very cool, buddy. Definitely looking forward to Lady Deathstrike and Mr. Sinister updates. Catzilla did an edit on Shocker (from SSOnic's edit) to give him pants, maybe it could be of use.

I like the original better but of the updates, I’d pick 1 over 2
