Hydroman WIP

Hi guys! I really intended to show the progress of this project until it was further along, however, due to my surprise promotion on the forum, I decided to move up the preview as a thank you!

This char is based on his version of Spider-Man: Lethal Syndicate, a fullgame made by Wucash which seems to be cancelled, so I decided to recreate (as far as possible) all the sprites seen in the videos and complement what is missing with original ideas.

Interesting, it has got great potential ...but remember, take water effects and waves from our existing Hydroman to improve your effects

Really fantastic job

Whoa dude, where have u been all this time? Wait till BP sees this.
However, I do not agree with Shining. The Hydroman we have right now is about 6/10 in my opinion. And a friendly advice is to go for the Lethal Syndicate version and improve it with your vision of the character. I'm sure you don't want a copy of the old Hydroman either. Keep up the good work man.

Wow, you've helped​ me with few sprites with Kraven and I'm positive you'll pull this one off too with fine sprites I hope to see more

Woah, didn't expect this!



NB: I know it's trivial but you can learn from Harbinger and Zv's Poison Ivy. When she walks, she leaves trails of small plants. You can do that with Hydroman so that he walks and leaves small puddles orwater trails

Esto se ve increible

Great character and beautiful sprites

In this character the water effects make the difference
Find all characters with water powers and try to find better effects... Check also in Jus characters... Often they have fantastic effects
And all new ideas are welcome

I really hope to see more



Great work by the way keep going

i actually did see alittle bit of it prior to the video guys)
but only the stance anim

its a great execution of basic moves Jspiderman, maybe just few additional effects here and there, like Alnyrd mentioned, maybe a water trail for walking and running (great one btw), but it all could be added later really, sprites are whats important at this stage, and they are great (only thing, i think i already mentioned this in a pm to you, about the shirt, if you keeping it color separated, since it looks alittle bit darker than the rest of the body, some people may prefer it this way, but i think if it is easy to keep it color separated, it should be done, just so it has an option of being set 1 shade lighter to blend with the rest of the character, but its just my opinion) because sometimes he has a darker shirt, sometimes a solid color body:

Spoiler:

and i agree with Dev, that not just copying the character, but even trying to improve it, where it is possible, is a good goal. Hobgoblin and Wucash did it pretty much perfect, but i think there are still some cool effects or ideas that could be found, which they havent used

and just like Shining said, special effects, and also smooth transitions on the final stage would make or break this character
definitely not something im familiar with, since i mostly worked on characters where effects were an after-thought or taken from just 1-2 different sources or just made up in photoshop

so all the good luck to you man, its gonna be a challenging work

Oh gotcha

Really thank you all for your words and advice! Answering most of the questions I can say that I plan to use some resources of the Hydroman_MMV and even some moves and ideas that seem great to me (like the wheel special) however the idea is to mostly respect the gameplay of the version of Lethal Syndicate, I think that this combination of resources and ideas will make the character really great, although everything will depend on time.

And yes, several water effects are considered for the final version, although at this time I will focus on the character's punches/kicks, stay tuned for more news!
