Lululu I got some apples, lululu you got some too. ~
Well Cloud is perfect, Krystal just has some minor issues and is pretty much done, 3 other things are being done at once... don't really know what I can add at this point.
I voted for the Red Water, simply because it would be like impossible to make the Truth like it is in the show. I am pretty sure it would be impossible to have two doors open in the background, have black hands come out, and have them get bombarded, all while having it be recognizable to the show.
The Red Water idea is pretty cool. If you can make him look like he has electricity during it could be pretty cool, like he looked in the original FMA, (In Brotherhood the whole thing never happened...)
@2DaMax- Thanks for that. I got my PSP a year ago on Craigslist for only $70 bucks and it came with FF: Crisis Core. The only other game I have gotten for it is KH: BBS, so I figured I should expand my library a bit. Dissidia looks awesome, but I figured I might wait for Duodecium. Think I'll go get it now. Thanks.
Meteorain seems like it could rape recoveries for some people's who are more predictable, but thats just me. I love all of the animation, but after he slams his sword down for it he seems kinda stiff. Maybe a little bit more animation on that. Other than that this seems really awesome. I can't tell if he is overpowered yet, but hopefully not. I f**cking love Cloud, and this seems probably to be more true to how he seems in Dissidia and AC.
Side note, have you played Dissidia and is it worth buying?
Sdoom, I'm not sure if this is possible but something you could try to do for Cloud that would give him some extra validity to his character is implementing a Limit Break for him. In the Final Fantasies the characters get their super attacks from taking so much damage so what you could attempt to do is attach his final smash to one of his taunts after taking, lets say, 300 damage. In other words, Cloud gets up to 300 damage then you press up taunt and he uses his final smash (preferably his Omnislash animated the same as it is on 7), but only once. After that you have to wait till 300 on the next life to use it. Perhaps instead of the up-taunt it could just register as though you have fallen far enough behind in lives, as the game already does, and you simply start glowing as though you had gotten the smash ball.
One other suggestion I have for a move for him is when you're grounded and use his up B it should be his Finishing Touch directly from 7. All it would have to do is send a wind type gush around him that blows anyone near you away. Here's a video showing the move: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7174314086379402771#.
I can't wait to see how this comes out in the end and hopefully you can pull off this attachment of the final smash to damage. Hell, if every character had that option the final smashes could actually be smoothly implented without relying on that annoying smash ball.
I really like the Limit Break idea! I might make it though so it activates more at around 200% since Cloud is a lightweight character (90 weight, he's the same weight as Peach XD). That way it's at least decently achieveable (and it's essentially works as an award for surviving for so long).
As for Finishing Touch, probably not since I went through a surprising amount of trouble just to get it to work properly on the ground
I think that is how the Omnislash version 2 should work. Rather than just in the middle of the multi-stock match going, "hey, I have an awesome killing move randomly," you get to use it at the set damage. Please, that would make him much more balanced. This would prevent the above scenario, and just how a character getting a final smash on it's own is just unfair conceptually. 200% sounds about right and would be very possible as long as you can DI well, and are on a decent sized stage. I also think the damage-limit-activated ability idea should be applied to your future projects, like Viewtiful Joe v2.
Semi-related question: For the Final Smash, could you try to make it as close to how it was in Advent Children as possible? I don't really want it to end up as a modified Great Ether with the name OmniSlash slapped on to make it Cloud-related.
Downloading. I will try this out tomorrow. Kinda tired, just gonna chill for the rest of the night, but I will post feedback... whenever I get around to it.
My one main prob is with the eyes. I will just change them myself for personal use, but other than that it is so damn sexy that I just had a FinalFantasygasm. (An orgasm, just with more Final Fantasy-ness). I also agree with Velen, the hair texture could be a bit better and have transparency at parts on the tips to look more natural, but that isn't as big of a deal for me. The actual vertex itself though is perfect.
