Echo Blade Sheik

Okay, so it wasn't my final version. v1.5 was designed in tandem with Echo Blade Zelda, and I think I've worked out all of the kinks this time. Hopefully.

So, I finally made a perfected Echo Blade Sheik, no more glitches, and smaller file size! Awesome.

Changes:
- Sleeker, more awesome sword. -
- Fixed Neutral B glitch. -
- Fixed F-Tilt's odd hitboxes. -

Original Post:

Messing around with Phantom's sword code and Sheik's unique effect, I got a cool result.


The Echo Blade. I stole Phantom Mario's fire sword, edited the graphic to replace the fires with Sheik's 'Echo' [from the Down-B, not a clue what its real name is] effect. This is the result.


It starts fading right after the 'circle' animation.


Afterimages ftw!

Like Sheik's weapon attack, it strikes twice. I've changed its effect to electricity; the first strike stuns/trips them, setting up for the second killer strike.

Explanation [kinda]:

In short, I stole it from Phantom Mario. If you look at his Mario.pac, the 4F, 50, 53, 56, 57, 58, 5A, and 5B are rerouted to sword animation; these were originally variations of side-tilt and F-smash.

I stole the GFX from 56[? I think] and threw on Sheik's 56: like Mario, I made all of her subactions pertaining to the F-smash redirect to her sword animation.

See, Sheik doesn't have the 'External Graphic' fire that Mario has, so I used the 'external graphic' from her Down-B, which are rings. I put the rings values into the 'file' and 'graphic' section of every 'external graphic'.

Then, after a few tech errors, I simply copied and pasted my 'echo sword' graphics onto 56, 58, and 5B, which are F-smash start, F-smash, and Charge f-smash, respectively.



An example of what I did. These values are all from the fire sword, except the fire was substituted for the rings. Every ring has its own line, and the offsets give it the sword shape.

That is really cool.

I love how only Sheik and Zelda are the only ones with this effect; its like her personal weapon, meant to be exploited. =P

Until, of course, we figure out how to trade effects =D

[Gazoinks]

Must... have... Marth... echo blade...  That would be awesome. 

Oh, I just figured out how the sword code work.  Hmm, that took me a while.

[Plasmakirby]

WOW!!! Impressive work!!! i'll see if i can give kirby something cool when i start editing him. you know, you should make a whole moveset for shiek, then make a texture to match that moveset. that's what i'm doing for my hacks

[milkaholic123]

What did you do? or How'd you do it?

[Shukaku]

How'd you figure out how the sword code works?

[.Fade]

Haha, I know something you don't! *victory dance*

Okay, I'm posting the message I just sent to Shukaku.

[Bonzai]

 

That is the coolest thing I've seen today.

[.Fade]

Thank you =D

The .pac is up, but note I've been editing a lot more than the sword =P You get a sneak peek to what is prolly gonna be a KC post one day. =D

[sora899]

that's awesome.....I only I could give the Glow to Samus' Charge Shot...

[NerdWithAnAfro]

Most awesome thing ever! (other than me of course, but that goes without saying)

[xSpartanLazerx]

Do you need the code in order for this to work?

[Segab]

..that's Project SA
you just need the File Patch code to make this work

[xSpartanLazerx]

Okay, but I tried it...and NOTHING HAPPENED.  I even picked up a beam sword!  NUTIN
