A Bloody Canadian's PSA Thread - Shinda Remake

[Akeno/Archer]

I didn't really understand how does the aerial Side B works... Can you explain me, please?

[ABloodyCanadian]

By itself, it's a forward dash that has invulnerability frames. It can only be done once in the air, and allows you to run if on the ground. Press the Attack Button during the dash, and you'll be able to attack. On the ground, it's a multi hitting reversal attack. In the air, it's a kick that chains into another attack if it hits.

Hmm... 'Kay. I'll keep that in mind...

Oh yeah, something weird I noticed about GSS:

Her initial run speed is somehow faster than her maximum run speed. That is, she runs slower after turning or using SideB than when she starts from a dash.

Also figured out why I thought her rolling dodges sucked: The intangibility frames both start and end way earlier than I expect them to be.

[ABloodyCanadian]

I made the Animation Shorter, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. As for the stats, as much as it sounds weird, I would like to keep it like that. It would encourage the player to use other ways of mobility to keep her out of harms way. Like, she has reversal attacks and invulnerability frames to support this.

[JamietheAuraUser]

Yeah, but her air maneuverability isn't really that great, and her dodges as of V0.9 aren't great for movement, so her run is sort of important. Anyway, it's not a big issue, but it seems a little odd. Also, her run animation looks weird at that lower speed. Granted, it looks a little odd anyway, but...
And speaking of air maneuverability, her Up Special could use a little more left-right control, I think. And possibly also the ability to fast-fall during the attack. Especially if its main purpose is going to be dodge-and-counter with those intangibility frames.

Also, her rolling dodge actually isn't bad. It's great for dodge-and-counter tactics. It's just not a good method of moving around, and it forces me to react later than I normally do.

[ABloodyCanadian]

Now that I notice it during normal gameplay, She should be able to fall faster, and execute the attack much quicker if it was going to be a counter attack. Though I also want to consider how much space it takes up at the moment. It's really good for keeping recovering characters off.

I noticed that people are picking one, but they aren't telling me how I can improve upon it...

[JamietheAuraUser]

I don't really think the Up Special needs to have its attack come out all that much quicker, but I DO think it could use a little more left-right maneuverability, and the ability to fast-fall during the jump.

As far as aerial Side Special goes, I still think that the best things to do with that move are to remove the helpless fall if it hits, and to let her momentum and gravity continue as the initiating hit goes off, instead of stopping instantly in midair to use it. I will say that the current version of the move is much easier to hit with and more useful for recovery than it was in the previous beta. Only thing is, it's easy enough to hit with that I keep mistakenly using it as a pursuit move on foes I've already knocked back (items are on, obviously. Otherwise, she can't actually knock anyone back without sending them too far), which tends to result in me ending up in helpless fall over the edge of the stage. Stupid mistake on my part, I know.

[ABloodyCanadian]

I think I can add in Ike's Up Special Variable to achieve that left and right movability. As for the Fast Fall, I don't know if I can do that. But I can make her fall faster during the animation. She falls too slowly during that move anyway.

[JamietheAuraUser]

I dunno, I think if she fell any faster she'd land before the attack finished going off normally. The idea was to be able to manipulate her height to use Up Special to drop down behind a foe who is below you.

[ABloodyCanadian]

2 Week break is on. I have more time to work on things now. I'll say this right now, that some of her aerial moves will work differently because I gave her Machinegun and Handgun Animations for her aerials. I'm also Re-Animating her NSpecial, and Various Dodge Moves.

Now with the development of SFX Hacks, maybe I can do SFX Hacks to make Gunshot Sounds.

[SnatoWhato]

Dude, I LOVE this PSA. I din't try it a while back because I was intimidated by all the files. lol But today I tried it and I'm SOOO glad I did. Made a video. Hope you like it.

SSB Project M: Gunslinger Samus V0.9

[ABloodyCanadian]

GSS in Project M... how interesting... You sir might have made me a bit more motivated to work on V1.

Yes, there is progress! NSpecial has been toned down cause I felt it was somewhat abusable. Now the Aerial Machinegun does 6% while the Aerial Handgun does 3%. The startup time has been slightly increased too. Ground Handgun NSpecial is still the same, and I have not yet animated a new Ground Machinegun NSpecial yet, so idk how that'll turn out.

[Akeno/Archer]

That's some good news, man! I wish you good luck!! And I thought about something interesting, but I'll tell you about it later, when I'm done with what I wanted to do... That's a surprise!

[ABloodyCanadian]

Playing with some of the current changes. Overall, GSS seems somewhat nerfed from V0.9. I think the main reason is because of her NSpecial. I nerfed it so it does about half the damage V0.9 did. The cooldown is also longer too. So those people who abuse NSpecial may want to learn to not abuse it. There were other changes to some of her attacks too. I don't know how you guys will feel about this one... But I guess I I'll know when you try it...
