alf2: current state - insights

[Divisor]

Neat addition, though I do have some questions:
1. How many power-ups can Louis do in a row?
2. Do they only work when standing or do they "move" with you (kinda like the stay shield)?
3. Do they have a time-limit or is there something else required to disable them?
4. How much mana does one cost?

the simultaneous JA input is quite interesting. I guess AI would be able to use it too, right?

unlimited

'moves' with you - just like louis doesnt randomly loose his armor by dashing around

Do they have a time-limit or is there something else required to disable them?

no time limit - it lasts until someone gets through your armor

How much mana does one cost?

16 - its not as useful as you may think it should be
it really only enhances the armor effect
which, if you know louis, is not active at all times

double key inputs
they do use it but its quite rare and random

Is it possible to counter Julian's soul_bomb with that armor loading?

[bashscrazy]

OOOOOH! That's what Loius kept doing in the youtube video's I've watched.
I thought that move was just some useless carp lol (like a taunt xD)
that's pretty cool

Thought I might as well comment, as I haven't in a long time to posts.
Looks like you've made quite the progress, especially considering you kept it quiet for so long, must've been difficult.
Moves look fairly interesting.
So as far as this conversation goes, you've just been modding the current game? Nicely done if so. Even if not so - nicely done.

As for whomever asked earlier -
Yes people have asked Marty. As far as I heard he would have given the source code too... however the company he sold the rights to did not agree. Shame really, could've made modding that much easier for the rest of the world rather than looking through bountiful amounts of ever more confusing ASM on OllyDBG or any other Debugger.

Looking forward to more progress from you YinYin, you've actually got me excited enough to look at the forums more often again.
And as far as I'm confused with the Woody attack (featuring two waves of destructive awesome) - when there had been questions about it bouncing in the other direction after being punched or kicked, did people mean this?:

If so, why hasn't it been done like this?
Sorry if this question got asked too many times.
Just speaking in terms of physics here if you get me.

the Louis armour just sounds like a negative fall itr. Or is there something more?

I guess that's not the point. I think, that he's trying to show us how ball bounces, when character is facing Woody. It's like ball hitting the wall which is always front to him, character just pushes the ball away from here.

I don't think this could help u understanding, but anyway (Click to View)

@up and Eddie
Well,it true that it ball go so,but in YinYin's idea,it looks more 3D game.Because it looks like characters are faced to each-other,and so it make it more 3D.

edit: the only new thing here simply is the DvA link from the super punch

for the sake of seeing your spaces ive put some code tags there
yes they did mean this
now let me show you another picture which is one reason why its not like that (even tho gad has already drawn one that displays it pretty well)

Code:

.         /
.`\     /
.  `\ /
.    `\
.      `\

that double dash dotted line is your new mirror plane
you have assumed it to be perfectly vertical - but there is no reason for it to be
and the incoming line touching it is our wave of destructive awesome
see what i did there? it goes right back where it came from - physics!

the second reason is that it was simply boring the other way round because that just made the blasts fly away from the action

its something very similar but not the same - killing333 has done it before me

next up: john run attack bounce
that sounds so random :D
