[Char] Frost

[prince_freeza]

Hello everyone!
I have decided to rework my character Frost.



current progress:
All basic movements (except for super punch, dash/jump attack) are done.

Frost.rar


super punch or dash kick:



planned move list (still not final)

1- Ice ball
for now its just a regular ice ball, slightly faster than freeze ball and can be quickly combined with the super punch.


2- Mele combo
i still haven't sketched anything for this, but i want this to be a 3-4 hits combo with the possibility of Frost covering his arm(s) in ice dealing extra damage (costing more mp) the last hit will shatter the ice off his arm.
Marshall's suggestion: making the arm form an icicle blade extension of the arm.


3- Ice cocoon
Frost will cover him self in an ice cocoon, which can be destroyed on button hit sending ice shards in various directions hurting the enemy.
now my question for DC experts here is the following:
is it possible via DC to make the ice cocoon take a certain amount of damage and then get broken off Frost?!


4- Frost hurricane
Frost starts spinning and turns into a moving icy hurricane, movement can be controlled left-right (with mp drain ofc) and a slight pause after he stops spinning as if hes dizzy from all the spinning.
a template of what it should look like:

so basically a free moving, small sized freeze whirlwind


feedback is very welcome, sprites are not final so if you have any suggestions or see any mistakes please do point that out! i got the sprite sheet and basic DC covered but i don't think ill be able to do the last two moves on my own so if anyone can offer some advice/help on those that'd be cool.

I feel oddly attached to the colour scheme of the old one tbh. Can't pinpoint why though.

without a full mod, I don't think the slip-on-ice effect is possible.

as for the "moving icy hurricane", does that mean it's a no-trails ice version of firen's fire run? If yes, it seems a bit anti-climatic to me as it lacks that wow factor if you know what I mean. Then again, I think I place a heavier emphasis on that kind of detail compared to other LF2 modders, so others may disagree.

for the Melee combo, I suggest making the arm form an icicle blade extension of the arm for more dramatic visuals

so thats a no for the skiing on ground move, which means i should go with the hurricane move.

no, the icy moving hurricane is a separate move and has no trails of ice and unlike firens run you can switch directions (left or right). so its pretty much a free moving smaller version of freeze whirlwind (i know it sounds op but it should cost a good amount of mp so the player can't just spam that move over and over)

also, the old color scheme was 50 shades of blue lol

[prince_freeza]

today's progress:

- recolored previous sprites to match the newly suggested color scheme.
- injury frames are done and added to sprite sheet.



fixed hair on 4th and 5th frame


broken defend

[prince_freeza]

All basic movements (except for super punch, dash/jump attack) are done.

喜歡原本的樣子...

ball: obviously needing some polishing but for now i'm happy i got most of the work done i'll get back to it later on.


in game: the gif is a little choppy im using a new program which is not as good as the one i had before)


new rolling:

[Marsh00ki Fantini Moton]

the flip for the roll / dodge frames sort of defies logic (okay, energy blasts aren't logical, but I believe you know which type of logic I'm referring to). Harly's flip works because he really bounces up. The general roll for most character works because... that's how the stereotypical soldiers do. Henry's cartwheel is easy to understand as he goes to a side.

I have a hard time imagining Frost flipping straight into harm's way and not getting hit. I suppose you'd like more personality to Frost which is great, but he doesn't have to be different for the sake of it.

There's nothing wrong with flipping. In fact, it could be good to have an acrobatic side-theme to set it apart from Freeze and you can incorporate that into his fighting style. Just want to point out he needs to flip out of danger, not headlong into it =P

[prince_freeza]

thanks! that feedback was much needed.
i see two options right now, A) i could make the flip controllable (dvz) so you can choose which direction you jump at or B) i could just come up with a better type of flip.

originally my idea for Frost's rolling was something like this:


speed up to 0:30 and watch the car crashing scene, Frost turns to ice breaks into many ice shards and re assembles couple of feet away.

[Marsh00ki Fantini Moton]

that shard idea is neat. what's stopping you?

Savant level work. Finish it and it'll be in LF3. One milliard yen to your account.
