Fist Of The NorthStar

How about using option 3 = 720x480 for resolution ?Maybe it would be better  for this.From video i see that walking anim is too slow,velocity is ok but delay is too slow.This is first hires mod ?

no wait, I think I know what's going on with the background there.

The art style of your characters are very clean and crisp, but your background there seems like it was a screen cap from the original anime, which was not exactly shot in the highest quality and the colorization seems a little subdued compared to the rest of the characters.

maybe?

[Bloodbane]

but your background there seems like it was a screen cap from the original anime,

 I was wondering too. The theme is correct though.

From video i see that walking anim is too slow,velocity is ok but delay is too slow.

 My fault. I have fixed that now.

this is the image im having trouble with,im using GIMP with all my projects and i cant seem to implement the frontpanel right in the level txt. for it to properly eliminate the pink in the frontpanel to see whats going on in the gameplay...
Any idea?

 Can you attach the frontpanel here so we can check it?

[bWWd]

I dont mind screencap from anime as background if it would be in higher resolution or upscaled so you could fix borders,they are pixelated now.

I just watched your video. There are 3 issues that you need to take a look at:

• Frontpanel is ok to me, but you need to change the z number for that (main) panel.
• Kenshiro is missing some frames especially for dodge, I think.
• Jeager's knee attack is missing his attack flash. Look at 0:53 or 0:54 to observe.

Good work so far, BALDOGON. For number 1, sorry for being too critical about it. It's that I just got the feeling that needs to be changed. That's all.

[Bloodbane]

Kenshiro is missing some frames especially for dodge, I think.

 Kenshiro doesn't have dodge ability so it must be other animation.

Jeager's knee attack is missing his attack flash. Look at 0:53 or 0:54 to observe.

 Where? the flash is shown here.

 The background looks great however the sky behind breaks everything. The sky is not tileable giving split impression.
 Send the background set to me and I'll do something about that.

 BTW I think this background needs to be edited to allow wider playing area and to avoid walking on back like this.

[Bloodbane]

Phew, fixing that desert background is harder than I thought. The ground is too narrow forcing me to widen it. The sky is just untileable so I had to resort to mirror trick, which I'm trying to avoid. Oh well.

 Anyways, aside of that here are some shots of Rei:







 You can also see the fixed desert background there.
 Hmmm... Rei performs his special attack in each shot. In this next one, he's blocks:



 Oh yes, there's also Zangief as regular enemy.
 Now, here's another enemy:

Rags:



 These guys is similar to Hollywood in Final Fight which tosses molotov then leaves. Here, Rags tosses matches and set the ground on fire. IOW avoid the fire or stop him before he tosses.
 These guys appears in group.

 Kenshiro and Mamiya has new move:

Nunchaku:



Bomb:



 Mamiya tosses bottle to air then shatter it to drop small bombs which hurts enemies.

 We could release demo with current progress but the presentation is really bad ATM. We need better fonts, title, opening scenes etc.

[Plombo]

The low-res desert background clashes with the hi-res sprites.  How about scaling the background with hq2x instead of nearest-neighbor filtering?

[Bloodbane]

 Thanks Plombo, I have thought someone would say that.
 So what does this hq2x do?

[maxman]

Zangief looks cool with the hi-res sprite(s)! I thought he was sprited from scratch for this HnK mod. Was he taken from Street Fighter HD? I wonder. Sorry for late reply.

[bWWd]

SF HD sprites are bigger,i have them ripped

I'll be adding him soon!
Heres a pic sprite of the 1st ever Shuu character exclusively for openbor Fist Of The NorthStar!

For the most part of this video, I honestly like the lighting of the lightning so far, so this leads me to give a thumbs-up. You have a great innovation in lighting for OpenBor engine system though.
