Funniest move that has ever existed in a fighting game. Polarizing design that instantly warps the gamestate. Creates every single possible aspect of bad game feel for the other player. A sadistic attack that would break most games.
He unironically needs it & it doesn't even make him top 4.

would a non-tag tag fighter be worth exploring? somewhere between strikers & Sengoku Basara X's assists? basically rpg party leaders with assists baked into their kits. a second set of specials tied to cooldown or something.
ooooh and the counterpart "second phase" bosses with install systems. hm.

earliest attempts at pixels involved mspaint and snes9x. Super Butoden 2 sprite edits of filtered screenshots with zero knowledge of color limits or palette utilization. animagic for gifs. Dreamcast emulation was a myth. Egoraptor posted his Megaman sprites on a forum. MvC3 fakeshots.

getting an animation feeling pretty good, fine-tuning for multiple sessions, then comparing to the rest of the set and realizing the proportions are BORKED and having to redo it. my favorite!

accidentally creating preexisting characters by conceptualizing with the "so-and-so, but such-and-such" method. brainstorming a villain that's 1000% Juri in terms of personality, but uncontrollable time slips? seems irredeemable but actually kinda tragic? congrats on creating I-No.

from designer CANOE (stick to handles, folks), a glimpse at two other versions of Capcom vs. SNK's Yamazaki that ultimately went unfinished xcancel.com/ome_yocan/st... 🇯🇵
L: KOF-style alt, intended for his EX ver.
R: exclusive vs.-Vice Orochi alt; a nod to the lore that he was one of the 8 Hakkeshu

a cheap edit of Geese's Real Bout Special win portrait, trying to combine it with bits of the strong art styles of Dominated Mind and Wild Ambition. most of my art time is tied up elsewhere, but i had to get this out of my system.
