Hydroman remix 1.0 released

Okay, let's go...

the graphics are much better than mine, they don't even compare.

I like what you did with the hyper level 3, I think you finally found a happy medium between my version and what Shining wanted.

I saw that he now does aerial combos.

in my opinion I would remove the hyper "water waves" because it doesn't add anything, I just kept it because of the my friend Shining.

The hyper mudman, being a level 3 hyper, takes little health from the opponent.

I found a bug when performing the spinning attack move in the air after using the double jump, the char stays in the corner of the screen until you press a button.

the double water ball special no longer works like it used to, and I really liked the way it was as it worked as an evasion and attack move.

the dril movement should only be activated with the forward + down command, as the back + down interferes with the spin command in the air, even better if it could be coded with the original command which is the same as the kingpin up + down and kick strong.
 
the grapple at first took energy from the opponent's special because he is drowning, but it shouldn't fill his energy because he doesn't have that power.

the spin attack in the air with many hits, makes the move very cheap, in my opinion it should hit a maximum of 3 times and throw the enemy away, as well as the Drill, maximum hit of three and then knock the enemy to the ground .

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

Currently working on the water ball moves.
There are now 3 and it is an evade/attack move again

Most of the other stuff talked about is either done or being worked on too.

I did tidy up water waves a bit since as well, but yes I agree he already has too many moves.

I knew about the bug, just didn't know when it happened. Thanks for letting me know it was on double jump. Honestly I think I'll just remove the double jump, as the super jump and air combo works now.

Add power on grapple is something I forgot to take out, I was using it while watching AI to see some epic hyper combo. It will be removed for release too.

Please don't remove water waves

yes I added the grab and I found it interesting to decrease the opponent's energy, but I saw that now he is draining energy recovering his and he doesn't have that power, the opponent loses energy because he is drowning and I thought it would be really cool as long as he doesn't lose a lot, like half a bar of energy, enough to hinder the opponent.

I like the double jump because in a fight versus, it gives a great advantage to dodge hypers or even surprise the opponent, but it's up to each one.

I worked on two intros for him, moves taken from the ancient killer crocodile, which go well for his entries when I'm done I'll send you.

i agree with shining, please dont remove a move.

btw, my opinion of the AI is that its a bit too strong.

----------

side note... i love how so many people came together to do so many different things with this character. it epitomizes MMV in how so many people worked together. that has happened alot in the past, but with this release in and of itself, it may be the best example of all of this

As for removing the wave hyper
There are a list of reasons to remove it... just a couple of the top reasons are
1. The Water Elemental is basically the same move with better graphics and effects
-it actually uses the wave hyper's waves
-wave hyper just looks very basic when compared to the other moves
2. People (including shining) also want the whirlwind hyper standing as well as air
-at this point we are close to out of good commands (D,F | D,B | etc) to use so freeing up a few commands would be good
*yes I could make each hyper only 2 specific buttons as well, but that would change the whole move list* <---not going to do this
3. He currently has 8 hypers (not including that others want the whirlwind to be on ground too)

If someone wants to make a case for keeping it, I am willing to listen.

I include in the readme how the AI is coded so it can be changed to your liking. I have it at level 4 to begin with (my personal liking).

How to change the AI:

heh, my only case to make is: to me, more moves on chars = cool

Ask an honest question, get an honest answer. Touche

Wow you really did make all the sprites transparent, I have already commented about the transparency and after trying this all transparent sprites then I now prefer this than the non transparent, really awesome work! Thanks @thatguy !

I do have all 3 TAS Hydroman episodes with all the background sounds/music cleaned out so it is only the dialog.
I had an AI clean it up. I would say 90% of the lines are perfect and the other 10% is a bit garbled.

It is on my to do list but hasn't been a priority for me (working on 9 projects currently).

If someone wants to make a sound patch for him I can share those rips.

I don't plan on updating the sound until a later release (if/when that happens).

Hate to add one more project but maybe you can fix bigpimp’s morbius’ teleport hype
