Full Version: Prologue of C.E. LF2
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Back then when I had all my ambitious plans into developing C.E. LF2 as a proper mod with an exciting VS mode and a stage/story mode, I did a little writing to complement it.

Obviously, I've never been a silver tongue and I just sort of stopped. Digging through some of my old stuff, I've decided to share what I have written anyway :P

It's really short XP


The beginning was nice and detailed,
it's nice to learn how Davis got his energy punches. :)

But the ending,
it's too rushed,
try making it longer and express his emotions along the
way slowly,
cause when - "Sadness, rage and fury all swept through Davis at once. "
when i read that line, i didn't feel anything, if you started with a proper
beginning, showing the bond and love between mother and son.
Then readers can get the feeling of anger when reading that line.
I read a book called ' Chinese Cinderella ' once and i cried a lot while reading it
and felt like I'm the character in the book.


But this story really amaze me, the originality of it.
And it's nice to read.
Thank you for sharing =)

well, that was not the important bit :P I haven't seen the original LF2 or any other LF2 mods / comics featuring his mother XD
but yes, it was a bit rushed, because I lost my motivation to write any further ^ ^

>it's nice to learn how Davis got his energy punches
it's more like how he got this skill:

Damn! man, who sprited the energy burst?

And is that a mod? Can u send me the link?
Ah, the good ol' CE-mod. You should really do a remake of that one, with 2.0a as a basis. I'm sure you would find quite a few willing to help you :P

Story-wisely, it's alright. I'll have to agree with Sharkitoon that the story seems a bit rushed in the end. Lack of motivation does not justify this! :P
No, seriously, it's a neat concept. Expand it and pwn =P
@ marshall : That move was amazing and cool btw :)
: It's Sharkitoon Not Sharkingtoon :P
I like the atmosphere and ending of the prologue. You could try to cut it down though, as something short is better than something long when it comes to in-game fluff :P
ah wells... I've already had it quite short already (as the two posters above you both think it's rushed). To write something shorter than this w/o sounding rush is definitely beyond me. I have never claimed to be a writer anyway and my story / descriptive writing days are long gone (it was written in 2006 actually)
Back then, the plan was for this prologue to be displayed before stage mode, afterwards, start at Tai Hom Village :P
That's what I'd call typical Marshall style. Something mysterious happens, it's descriped almost pathetically and then...
...
"You know what? All of your talking is starting to piss me off... How about you serving me instead?"

Which makes it quite hard to comment. There are various things I would do different, but you're perfectly staying in that one style.
Though style is not the only thing and I have to agree about the length. However, you can't put as much text into an LF2-version as I want to see. Still, the last few lines could be expanded.

That feels weird for me. After the first part of the sentence, you'd expect the exact opposite. If you want it like that, it needs an explanation. Maybe rephrasing would also work. I can't tell as I don't know how you thought about that.

Your downplaying, BP. Marshall could ask the ones he wants to help him and they'd say yes.

I see what you mean and I should have explained it a bit I guess. He felt the exact opposite of what you would expect because he knew that the black clad figure is behind all the killing of his family, so mentioning them only cleared his head and added to his resolution of revenge

rofl. I dare not take advantage of this privilege yet unless I have something concrete, or else I just feel I'm letting others down, but thanks!
