Dark Samus Approaching: Extreme caution recommended.

Good or bad whoa?

Good or bad whoa?

Definitely a good woa.

[Volt-Ikazuchi]

All aboard the hype ball!

Seriously, this looks amazing, can't wait to test it.

 

[T-skjorte Ninja]

Oh my, you're back dealing with the project again?

 

[Dark-Samus-Lives]

Samus and Anthony Higgins?

 

[MerryShadow]

If you want DS to be a close range/rushdown character, the boost ball sounds much better. Having a burst movement option would really help such a playstyle. Are you going for a sonic-ish or a jigg-ish boostball?
If you want a zoning DS, then the reflector sounds better.
I personally find the boosball more interesting.

You sure know how to hype people during development...

Wow.

I think Dark Samus lost some weight!

Thanks for updating so frequently, it really helps ease the wait and makes the project feel more alive and active.

What I would really like to do is make a video since she's finally coming along. If someone wants to link me to a cheap product on Amazon to record Wii footage...


Trying to recreate this attack of DS's:

 

[Sirkura]

i have a really fast computer, i can make a video if you'd like ^^ dolphin allows for recording the game pretty easily. Just PM me about anything extra you'd like to showcase. Also about the new shot graphic, is that a true projectile (article) ? Or is just a generic graphic?

Thanks for the offer but I really want to be the one recording the video.

And it's more along the lines of a true projectile. False projectiles aren't cool. You shouldn't be able to shoot through walls and multiple opponents!

 

[Sirkura]

Np, i understand ^^ just thought i'd offer. And that sounds nice, its a good touch up since most the PSA's for DS have just used graphics. It always bugged me when she was able top spam a projectile with no consequence (I.E.reflect xD)

You're having waaay too much fun with the visuals.

I know.

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

This was probably asked many times before but, Who is DS's base character or who is she over?

I'll give you a hint. The answer lies within

Oh.

How are you doing projectiles with peach as a base?

 

[Dark-Samus-Lives]

How are you doing projectiles with peach as a base?

Is that a serious question?

 

[Nefnoj]

Is that a serious question?

OH!! Does Toad technically count as a projectile? I was wondering the same.

 

[drogoth232]

OH!! Does Toad technically count as a projectile? I was wondering the same.

I swore it was the dress.

 

[RadicalMongoose]

Never thought of toad as a projectile, I assumed it was her down B but I wasn't sure because all it did was spawn a projectile that peach can throw.

That reminds me, the Metroid Prime 2 model is pretty low-quality and poopy, even though its design is my favourite. Are you planning on using one? Or an HD-ish version, if you got help from someone?

This a good opportunity for you or anyone else to work on this aspect of Dark Samus. An HD version would be amazing but unfortunately it's not as easy as it seems to update.

I suck at texturing, but considering how organic and smooth her model is, the 3D part wouldn't be too bad.

The question is - editing a Prime 2 version, or redoing one from scratch? A question that I won't answer because I'm not amazing at modeling.

I just downloaded the original MP2 import on Brawlvault... I'm no expert either but the textures do indeed look disgustingly low res.

 

[Dark-Samus-Lives]

 

[PseudoTypical]

Woah. That'd look so smexy with red effects for its moves, too.

 

[Cahalan]

I'm torn on whether or not to suggest only editing the "lights" on the model for recolors, or to do that AND adjust the color/hue/saturation of the suit to match.

Thought TBH, in that image if the suit were recolored into a dark maroon or "Devils Branding" as coined from an episode of "B*tchin Rides" (Copper Caddy Chop Top episode), then holy crap this would look sweet as heck. Oh and having the phazon lights be a tamed bronze yellow with that "Devils Branding" would look swell too.

 

[Shiruzato]

Is it even possible to change the colours of the effects? I'd imagine that'd be a lot of graphics for one PSA.

Personally, I think it's best to just stick to recolouring the model. Get a full release out first, then worry over the minor details.

That would actually be the easiest part.
