alf2: current state - insights

[Lauli]

In the end it will be Black Sabbath playing some songs on top of lots of iron pipes. NEW BACKGROUND, WHOA! Haha.

Anyways, I don't quite get the reason behind Woody canceling his attack. And why is he facing the opposite direction?

[YinYin]

no new background, sorry
this is an audiovisual effect
i have to admit the audio is more impressive than the visual
but i'm not gonna upload that (maybe in a video later)
just imagine a nice clang/zing kind of sound (a mix of rudolfs swords and louis' armor)
so there is a chance of this happening whenever some metal hits the metal of a character (louis/deep/knight mostly)

Anyways, I don't quite get the reason behind Woody canceling his attack. And why is he facing the opposite direction?

he's facing that direction because first of all that's the direction he's facing after the second kick (after the third he's turned forward again and ends it normally)
and also because you or the AI pressed that direction to cancel this move early and thus you obviously want to go that direction

the reason is simple
you missed your opponent
or you want to dodge an attack you would otherwise be running into
either way you were an easy target before because you were not able to control or stop this move and the opponent could predict where you are going
a small surprise that can turn tables

your thoughts on what it may be make me smile
next up: a louis combo or henry double arrow dash
you decide which one you want to see

[Marshall]

louis combo please

[Lauli]

Louis combo!

Will you add more of those audiovisual effects? Because I think these are pretty sweet.

[YinYin]

D>J+D^J

i don't have any ideas right now but if you can give me good ones

next up: fire/ice affinity exception or item crates
you decide which one you want to see

[The Lost Global Mod]

item crates plz!

[Whaat]

Meh, i'm kinda disappointed about that Louis combo since even i have done that D: and it was super easy to just add hit_Uj: 275 at D>J (1000foot) frames. But well, it's still useful, i have to admit that. Maybe you could also add that he can make D>A (blastpush) after D^J (r-catch)?

And i want to see item crates, whatever it is D:

Have you? Usually, you can't catch falling chars.

Item crates probably means when destroying a crate, an item appears from within

Louis catching is special and it allows to catch falling char (i think) or i made it by skipping some frames from the start of r-catch so he catched the enermy right away.

[YinYin]

these will appear like any other item and also picked up by AI (F8 creates three crates now - these and the original one)
they break upon the first hit but can be thrown around a few times like a normal crate

there is more to it than just adding hit_Uj
you should know if you have done it yourself
also it's not about who has done it before or how easy it may be
what ramond said - catching falling characters is not a native feature
i have considered the D^J+D>A combo
but so far i think louis should be too slow to pull that one off
(the charge up of the phoenix palm is quite long and the throwing needs some rest at the end to not look akward)
also i am not changing any distances or damages from original data (no altering the D^J to make the D>A work after it)
