Loved the released version. How much different will this final version be to it?

It'll mainly feature more special moves, Hypers, the special Dark Tooth and Gold Tooth modes, and various tweaks and improvements. I'm even going to try to trouble-shoot for bugs as much as I can, which is something I've forgotten to do before. I want this to be as solid as possible!

Hey guys! Not much to report, although Sweet Tooth does have a new attack combo, which I like to call "Clown's Edge Combo". It's like Ghost Rider's flaming fist combo, but ends with a knife, and there aren't any fists on fire. He basically does a dashing one-two punch, ending with an uppercut with a kitchen knife (he has used them before to go about his killing ways). The combo requires subsequent button inputs to continue the chain, or it'll only use the first punch. For the second punch, you press medium punch again, and then finish with the strong punch button. Otherwise, not much progress, as college classes are yet again keeping me from making a lot more progress. Rest assured, he will be  done eventually.

On another note, I've made a new CSP for him. What do you guys think? Should he be a bit bigger or smaller within the frame? This is made to replicate his infamous promo render for Twisted Metal: Black.

Hey, I really like the new portrait. Try a bit smaller one to get his grasping hand in there.
Twisted Metal: Black version had more shadows, cause it was shot from a higher perspektive - Sweeth Tooth looked more dangerous like that.

Here is what I've been working on: Sweet Tooth's first level 3 Hyper attack! It's called "A butcher like me..." in reference to a line Sweet Tooth uses in Twisted Metal: Black.

I really like it actually =P

Alright everyone, ready to see more progress? Look no further than this video!

Walking back animation looks nice.
Love the sudden darkness and the light source on Sweet Tooth in his level 3. Great stuff!
Criss Cross Combo is perfect.
IMO he needs a tired walking back animation on low life, maybe a tired normal stance too.

Keep up this great work! Love it!

God Job, perfect.

Awesome, i lost it at 6:10, so funny i couldn't watch it without laughing

Excellent work as usual man!! It's looking ,much better!!

Oh I wished you could make also Kratos and the Big Daddy... That would be awesome...

Here's the first of the four Hypers I'm trying to give Needles! This is his "Satisfy your Sweet Tooth" hyper. He can only use it at 500 health or below, and it heals 150 of his health when used. Basically, he summons Sweet Tooth for a freezing shot immediately, takes out an ice cream cone, and then licks some ice cream from it, before offering some ice cream to his (hopefully frozen) opponent, and then throwing the cone at them, exploding on contact. The humor here being that he just licked ice cream off an explosive cone without caring. lol

Here's the video.



If there are any suggestions you have for improving it if you feel it needs it, let me know!

Now, I want your opinion on something. I was considering three different things for his third Level 1 hyper. Either
-A. A dual SMG barrage,
-B. A missile barrage from his truck,
or
-C. A machine gun barrage from his truck.

Which do y'all think? Or do you have a different suggestion entirely?

Also, @ROLEINMUGEN
I hadn't planned on those two, but I'll keep them in mind for future projects, especially if there is enough want for them.

Quick word on how Needles is coming along; I went ahead and decided on a Mega Gun barrage from the Sweet Tooth truck as his third level 1 Hyper. With that out of the way, he just needs his last two Hypers, and then after that it's all polishing, and the rest of his miscellaneous animations, and he'll be all done!

Hi Varia the Hunter I am just back from my unexpectedly long work trip!  And my local Internet was lost once until now!
If you are interested in my work trip experience then please read my MMV topic here:

Wholly Molly what a wonderful update you have been giving to your Sweet Tooth! 
Oh my guts the ice-cream attack!   IMO the most awesome hyper move I have ever seen in years!

For his third Level 1 hyper, I will pick "-C. A machine gun barrage from his truck."    Why?  Because I think of this sequence:
1) his third Level 1 hyper starts
2) the ice-cream truck comes in then he picks up an ice-cream cone from the truck window (?)
3) then a machine gun barrage that can stuns the Enemy
4) and then he licks his ice-cream cone afterward throws that to the stunned Enemy

My idea is that he picks up and licks his ice-cream cone ONLY after his ice-cream truck comes out....just my opinion, of course you don't need to listen, all of your planned ways are respected more.

@Borewood2013
Borewood! Welcome back my friend! I hope you are well. Glad you pulled through your trip, there. I hate airsickness. lol I'm going to be flying soon, myself.

Hilariously enough, I already went for option C. lol
I made it really simple. Needles points like he usually does for truck attacks and laughs while the truck rolls in and fires off a barrage of Mega Guns. It's just for quick and powerful damage, but there isn't any chip damage while guarding to keep it from being too spammable. If someone is too close when the truck shows up, they'll get rammed by it, leaving them vulnerable to the Mega Guns!
