LouisEx without battle-staff

[Alex V.Sharp]

It's too early for this... I just know it is...!

I've been preparing a very important resource for the MoD project: LouisEx fighting without his battle-staff (I have no idea what it's called...)

So far I have finished most general moves excluding the standing/walking sequence and frozen/burning. One more thing that's missing (which is the main reason for posting this) are his special moves. I need to make his old "armor" SP-attacks for LouisEx and currently I'm a bit struck (lack of inspiration/time/will). Inspired by the "move switch!" thread I decided to post a thread about the issue although I'm still in a dilemma if it was better to have waited to finish the whole general pallets. I hope to inspire people to help out a bit by contributing new moves for Mr. No-Staff-LouisEx. You will be credited, of course...

Here are the sprites I've done so far:

MoveSet2 (Click to View)

.
And here's how the new move from "MoveSet2" looks like:

Keep in mind that this was made for animation purposes. If you want to optimize it to use it in the game, be my guest. Just mention me somewhere - it was a pain fixing LouisEx's missing parts.

wait, hasnt someone already done this?
i think i saw it on mainsite somewhere...damn i cant find it
but the new punch looks good, very smooth

anyway, even though someone else may have beaten you to it, i still think yours is very good, and clean (especially the running)

Looks like the original to me and pretty good. Also I think the new punch has to many frames but that makes it looks awesome like a charge attack.

Yeah, check Louis Skins on mainsite.
I hope you do it better than that guy, cuz' it looks promising
And that running-thunder punch looks great.

EDIT:
You could say "trident" instead of "battle-staff" :P

@Alectric
Yeah, there is a Louis without his armor, but there isn't a LouisEx without his stick(lol)/battlestaff. So the idea is quite original.

@Alex V.Sharp
Perfect sprites, nothing to say here...

Well snap! I can't believe this...
If I'd known there was an already roughly finished version of Louis without his armour then I wouldn't had started from scratch.
Would had been a real time saver. Never mind. Guess there's no use crying about it now...

I'll try and finish the missing sprites and re-upload, sooner or later.
Afterwards I need to make a version with his packed "trident" over the chest and make a few new deployment sequences.
Keeping my hopes up that other members will contribute new move sets. I'd be grateful.
