WOW, separate animations for both??? That's sooo cute! I would love to see them. Hopefully someone will record them. Or I guess extract them in your case.
I'm only seeing one clip on that account, but a bunch of screenshots, yes.
Kind of accident I ended up finding someone who has been doing the stuns though not the sleeps. I may need to ask them about that...
Here is a second set.
And a third set.
Thanks for your hard work! I guess if I was making a request it would be dizzy/sleep for Tanya, I think is her name. (third character in the link I posted above). However, if it's a lot of work, please don't pressure yourself.
As for that game's dizzy animations, I actually like how they are unique to the characters, and a lot of them actually show the heroine looking to be visibly struggling to snap out of it. The hand posing in different ways is something that's much rarer to see but I really like it. It understands the 'art' of the different kinds of hand poses for dizziness.
It looks like Zaysha also captured a bunch of dizzy animations from Honkai Stair Rail, four videos in this post here.
Yeah! I'd love to share it. I actually also wrapped up a collab fic featuring Pokemon gals in a more hands-on type of combat scenario, looking forward to what the artist does to represent what I've written. It certainly has a part of two that's applicable to this thread lol But my main fic is just a plain earnest YA style story. Though like I said, the prequel has prank-themed ryona-coding to it. And given Nemona’s chronic stamina/health problem, she does end up winded/dizzy now and again. There’s also a planned scene art was made for where she’s struck by a Hypnosis attack to force her to calm down bd shut up.
Funny you say that because an entire thing in my Pokemon fic is that it's a timeline of SV where the 'player character' is basically a cold-hearted asshole who has goodness buried deep beneath trauma -- yet keeps everything bottled up and takes out their aggression on others, especially their friends, all while childishly clinging to their perception of what is 'cool' and 'strong'. So a big component of the fic is seeing the "NPCs" (who are the main characters here) having to navigate that, having to cope with a reality where their "usefulness" to the 'hero' is long passed and they've been kind of pushed aside.
I think that's part of it, but it's a bit short-sighted if you literally think the original creative minds benefit from licking the corporate boots. I mean, as much as I love Nintendo stuff, just look at the way they're actively ERASING the creative people at their company in recent years. Shaving original credits away from remasters, chopping the composer's names off of the Nintendo Music app etc etc. They clearly don't care about the creative people involved in doing all of the work in the sense that they don't want US to pay them any mind. They don't WANT us to know who makes their products, they just want us to blindly think "Nintendo".
That's definitely the vibe I've gotten from media like that, taken in context of what I know of Japanese culture.
Yeah, it's an alternate universe so it's a balance of capturing the original design/concept while changing some things up to suit the AU. Thanks! I thought the glasses were a good touch for her. Have I shared the recently finished base sprite for Min Min yet...?
Yeah, makes me really appreciate when a game does unique animations/poses for different status ailments. It's very rare. Understandably so, but yeah.
YES, the hair is a huge detail I love to see in this kind of thing, and she's gotten very good at drawing it, and I specifically request details with th hair more than anything else. With Charo I definitely wanted to create a 'cool, tough' vibe in her wrestler form. It's honestly a little out of character compared to her original incarnation, while Alesea is... honestly pretty similar vibes all around. But to compensate, I keep her personality pretty similar, she's just more aggressive in her older, more fist-fighting life here in this AU.
She looks pretty different from her FightStar varient, right? That's what she originally looks like in her source material, in 'civvy' form. And that pose is indeed the one you say, it was Unknown12 who chose and commissioned that.
Yeah, definiely. I'm hesitant to link to my fic writing profile here but I'm happy to do so in DM.
I also need to get around to recording some clips of FightStar as there's absolutely content that applies to this thread.
Pretty much. I played Black/White 1+2 for the first time just within the last two or three years, AFTER playing all of their full 3D games. And it's frankly the best the series has ever been under GameFreak imo. They clearly did NOT handle the jump to HD/3D well, and it's because they're a cheapskate company that has been skirting by off the lowered expectations of handheld hardware for years now. There's still plenty of creative greatness there but even a lot of THAT is just plain outsourced at this point.
"What about Beast of Reincarnation???"
Oh, you mean a game they basically have OUTSOURCED to an entirely separate development studio who is clearly at least more comptetent at handling the technical stuff than they themselves are? And it's not even OUT yet so we have no idea if it'll even be any good? Yeah, what about it lol
I'll give Beast of Reincarnation a rental and see what I think of it -- I DO think GF still has good creative minds at the heart of it, and clearly some folks who are really trying their best with what they have to work with. But the management is obviously ill-equipped or just plain uncaring to give the games what they deserve. Yes, yes, Pokemon Company expectation blabla, that is for SURE a part of it, but only a PART. Look at other games under the Pokemon banner made by other studios. Pokopia, New Pokemon Snap, Pokken, the Stadium games on the N64... When an experienced dev team that is not GameFreak makes a Pokemon game, they actually put their asses into it, and the results show.
GF COULD have had a different studio work on either the mainline games OR the Legends sub series. But. NOPE. Because that would be leaving heaps of money on the table, I GUESS? So they're split their already incapable studio up to juggle both series at once. We will see how Wind and Waves turns out. Maybe the last 7 years has given them the time to get their shit together and actually put together a team and a workflow that can put out a quality game. And I do NOT just mean the graphics.
I'm not expecting it, but I REALLY hope the Ocarina of Time remake is more like the recent RE remakes than just a copy-paste deal like StarFox. I AM excited as hell for StarFox and the new story, I don't even care about OoT that much tbqh. Which is exactly why I want to see them really put their all into a remake that captures the beats of the original while expanding on them. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out. We're gonna get so many places and character in HD... My brain may trouble handling Malon and OoT Zelda/Sheik in modern-looking visuals...
Ouch, my gal with the gall getting ignored lol
Sena is my fav character in the entire Xenoblade series. I also love all six of the mains in XB3. All freaking six of them. Sena is my fav, and Lanz is 2nd, with the others kind of all tying behind them. Some of the guest heroes in your party were pretty great. And the DLC! MAN, Matthew was just the best. And getting to see adult Shulk and Rex was cool as hell. And A? Damn, they're so cute and cool, too. I liked the other two well enough for what roles they served. And the bonus character at the end of the DLC has one of my fav designs in the whole franchise.
I'm honestly so stoked to revisit the games via S2 editions. I only own 3, though.
What status ailments does XB2 even have? I'm willing to give the game a second chance through renting the S2 edition when it releases. I plan to rent XB1 as well just to experience the new content (and heyyyyy maybe try recapturing some animations potentially...?)
Well, I have some Xenosaga stuff, at the least.
Here's Shion from XS1. It's her low HP animation but to me that is often similar to a 'break' or 'dizzy' etc. It certainly looks like she's out of sorts either way.
Her and KOS-MOS, whose low HP ABSOLUTELY looks like a dazed animation. It's subtle but that suits her android/robot character imo.
And Shion's KO. I actually really like this one. It'd be great to see in HD with actual face expression animation.
Those are all pretty old, but I have a bunch from Xenosaga 3 I captured more recently, includng some at a higher resolution due to some emulation features I figured out (which also make my dusty old computer I use for this stuff very unhappy haha). I'll try to look some of those up for another time.
Here's one of Rowdy Reiko from Rumbled Roses XX. That game has a cute default dizzy animation but it's the same for every fighter. There ARE some shorter but bespoke animations that can get triggered from a handful of moves, but I'm not familiar enough with the game to know how to do that. I DO have access to the game, however, and would like to try capturing some stuff from it at some point. The dazed animations as well as maybe the canned one they have in a tag team match when they swap out after being exhausted (they slump dramatically over the ropes).
Here's Pyra's dizzy from Smash Ult, but using this mod that tweaks her outfit. It changes her top to be like. An actual top instead of whatever abomination it is normally. That and adding undergarments to her and Mythra's design already make their designs actually hot to me. I find their original outfits/design to be a BIT offputting tbqh. In context of Smash, though, those tweaks to their outfits combined with their animations for things like dizzy/sleep (not to mention the double language voicelines for both states), damn. My lizard brain seems to like it.
But anyway, here's Pyra's dizzy with a tweaked outfit I recorded some time last year I think.
I'll try to record some stuff from Project FightStar soon. I don't wanna record everything in it 'cause I want folks to actually try it out themselves!
