Well, here I am.
This chapter was also immensely enjoyable. Your levels are getting more and more specialized and interesting, just from looking at Zazu's animal counting and Cortex adventuring through a Crash level alone. The whole Halberd thing was obviously the most interesting to me, and I really enjoyed it, hilarious as it is. I'm partial to the captain, myself, and have been ever since I played the game, and he's really in-character.
I personally think this was quite possibly my best chapter - A shame there wern't more Crash characters to include to make it do justice to more actual MYM 4 movesets.
I'm doing my best to try to include unique levels to make this SSE more then something a chore to be played for the cutscenes to remove the complaints about the Brawl SSE being bland.
The Halberd Conversations wern't planned, but I just had a brilliant hit of inspiration at the last second. I originally was just going to write up the text. . .But that would just be another wall of text. This is a perfect chance to catch people's attention and give them a break from mass text! I've always had fond memories of Kirby Super Star and the captain as well. . .I'd of included the Waddle Dee, but I couldn't find his neutral sprite. Only the one with the sweat drop.
Using Alt. Costumes of Cortex or Tiny to fill in for other characters was a fantastic idea, even though it feels like you're sort of stretching to try to get a few more characters in. Especially with Crash. Making the main character of the franchise a boss was kinda weird, but it works out pretty well. If only somebody had made him a moveset, you'd have yourself a lot more to write about in this section. Nevertheless, you filled it in pretty well, and I'd like to see more of these alt. costume characters later on, very much.
I've been doing that since my old Supreme Realm SSE (Which did get completed, just didn't get posted here) for a long while. I'm always eager to include as many characters as I can, whether or not in moveset form, and making ones with similiar body structures alt costumes is all the better. Like I said earlier, I really wish there were more Crash characters, but my Warp Room stage was a decent excuse to include N. Brio, N. Gin, Ripper Roo, Dingodile and N. Tropy. Crunch was somewhat thrown in there, but I purposefully thought the main character being a boss would be funny and ironic, especially considering the only playable Crash characters were villians.
Zant's role was fitting, and pretty cool. It's nothing really fascinating, but I'm still happy with how you're using him. When's me Horseman gonna make his reappearance, though? I love that little guy. Oh yeah, and Kawasaki's little mention was great stuff. Thanks for that. Is he going to make an appearance later? I'd assume no, because you've already done the Kirby chapter.
I'm finally getting to the point where characters are actually starting to recur from previous chapters and I'm getting really excited about that. And don't worry about Zant not getting too much spotlight yet -- he's getting a nice section dedicated to him. Kawasaki's reference I thought was a nice easter egg for you. . .And I still fully intend to include him as a character. The 1st chapter was kinda crowded anyway, it'll be fine with him showing up later, and I fully intend to make use of his mechanics. Oh, and the Horseman and his little group are going to show up again in the next chapter. Time for his vengeance on Kamek.
And one more thing: you're going to have an Aladdin chapter or at least section, right? YOU'D BETTER! *shakes fist*
Yep, it's still gonna be there, don't you worry. If anything I'm worried about having it be TOO focused on the Aladdin characters and there not being enough new playable characters in it somewhat like this chapter and it's like of Crash movesets. Rest assured, it's coming, and it's coming soon.
Interesting stuff. So you ARE making Zasalamel (hehe, spelled it right without looking) later in the contest? I didn't know you'd confirmed that. Anyway, I look forward to the next chapter.
. . .With this insanely huge SSE which is quite possible that could be 4X as long as my MYM 3 SSE, I doubt I'll get around to them, but if it does get done, I won't hesitate to do him and BB (He's also on the list). I considered it not too big of an issue seeing Cortex and Tiny and Dimentio were in my MYM 3 SSE and I thought I was gonna make them then, but they ended up not showing up until MYM 4.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too. Thanks for the present of sorts. Detailed feedback is always nice.
Anyway, glad you liked their roles, I put a lotta work into em.
