FINISH HIM!

Posted by R1665 - April 3rd, 2010

I've been looking forward to delivering this month's update for the last two weeks. I am pleased to announce that the fight portion of VG EXILES Ep. 3 is now complete! Yeah, that's right! The fight's done!

The month of March, by a very wide margin, has been the most productive month I've had since starting Episode 3. Not only did I finish the fight, but I've also completed the vast majority of the menu system in the last couple of days. I've got my voice actors all lined out and I'll be ready to work on the art scenes as soon as I get the material. I estimate that there will be at least another month in production, but the end is in sight.

---------------------

Honestly, this upcoming fight is going to be a true milestone for me. I've mentioned this before, but this particular match-up has been on my to-do list for YEARS. It was the first fight I thought of doing the first time I saw MK vs. SF 2 and learned that such videos were possible. That was long before I knew even the first thing about flash. In a very real sense, my entire animating career has led up to this fight. It's the entire reason that I decided to get into flash in the first place. "R1665" exists today because of this upcoming match-up. That's fucking heavy...

Really, this post isn't so much about what you will see in VG EXILES Ep.3. It's what you WON'T see that will help set this fight apart. For example, you WILL NOT see a screw job ending. That's right! Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter will finally throw down the way they always should have!

Yup. NO SCREW JOB. That means no last-second life-saving interference by another character. That means no characters getting their second wind on the brink of defeat and turning the tables. Nobody will be pulling a last-second victory move out of their ass. Also (to pick on myself a bit), there will be no moral dilemma standing between these fighters and no innocents needing protection. No speeches, no bullshit, and NO MERCY. The winner stands triumphant and the loser lies dead in a pool of their own blood.

How's THAT for a deviation from the norm, Newgrounds?

----------------------------

As you can see from the screen shot below, I have given my menu system a significant graphics upgrade. I guess the big question now is, "who's gonna appear in this screen?". I'm afraid that question will only be answered upon release.

Also, yes, this image is indeed sort of a bullshit way to fulfill my front page post policy. You'll get over it.

This Sounds VERY INTENSE!! You are gonna win 1st no doubt about it... >:)

deadzombievg

your gonna make proxicide happy lol...

R1665

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if I were to find a flaming bag of dog poop with his name on it sitting on my doorstep...

Mini-Dude

No speeches, no bullshit. Just what I wanted to hear XD

I am pretty sure I already know how will win this fight, but all the same, I know it's gonna be SOOOOO intense. Finally a fight no second wind on the brink of defeat, and I'm glad that this time nobody will be protecting any innocents.... *cough* Sakura *cough* Honestly, why did you giver HER the last hit on Gambit?! I dunno if you didn't notice, or weren't thinking, or what happened, but I though Jon should've had final blow.

Your menu is holding up the glowing pink bg, I see. I like that look, it's pretty cool. The text doesn't look as great as it could, though.

I wish I knew who the street fighter was, but I already know one of the chars, so I'd like to keep the street fighter a surprise.

Your last screenshot showed Scorpion engulfed by a strange shadow... Please tell me you didn't just kill him off with something landing on him. Scorpion's not retarded, he should die by brute force, not stupidity.

Well, I'm gonna go watch VG Exiles 0, 1, and 2.

"Honestly, why did you giver HER the last hit on Gambit?! I dunno if you didn't notice, or weren't thinking, or what happened, but I though Jon should've had final blow."

My original plan was to give Sakura a much less active role. However, once I got to that point, I found myself thinking, "Sakura is always shown as being a less-effective amateur. Let's see what we can do about this..."

She had just watched Gambit kill three of her friends. I thought she deserved to tear off a few pieces of Gambit's ass.

I have no regrets about that ending. Sakura and Talbain would have had to work together to take down a top mutant like Gambit.

"Scorpion's not retarded, he should die by brute force, not stupidity."

I'm sure that you'll find Scorpion's... umm... involvement... to be suitably epic.

Completely unrelated hypothetical question: What would happen if a telephone pole were to slam into a human body at terminal velocity?

Your good at teasing us and making us excited about seeing the new release, but we've all been waiting for this news update as much as you've wanted to do it :D. As you said, its how the fights should have been put together since the beginning, no dramatic saves or protections or other bullshit ways to kill the ending, and again does a great job of teasing us and making us want to see the damn thing. Another month is going to kill me. I remember when i saw ep. 0 and was surprised as shit to see what you did with Johnny Cage (as were the people who I showed it to), so I have no doubts that it will possibly be the greatest thing to come out of newgrounds in a long time.

R1665

Yup. I'm just a teasing douchebag!

Hey, at least you guys get regular updates on what I do! I'd like to think it's preferable to keeping quiet for long periods of time. I'm too much of an attention whore to take that route.

oh cool, I just read what you write and I happy to see that it will not have some second wing . I was in ''Tabarnak'' when i saw in mk vs sf 2 that akuma kill scorpion just after he beat ryu . Scorpion was supposed to win and kill ryu .... but it is done. I know with you that it will be a battle that is fair, brutal and intense. Good work man by the way, Tabarnak is bad word in french lol

R1665

*Adds "Tabarnak" to mental glossary of non-English profanity*

*Forms Mr. Burns evil hand gesture of contemplation*

...Excellent...

your really good at building up anticipation man cause i can already the little sprite cover on the home page for the number one flash of the month already and i didn't even see the flash yet can't wait for the flash bro i hope its brutal

Veidro

NICCCE. waiting on this monster and I'm glad to hear someone is finally going to die from a one on one battle and not get saved or "hulk out"(LOL) and win. Keep up the hard work

R1665 (Updated )

Well, it's not TRULY one-on-one as other characters occasionally get involved (...athough not for very long... heh, heh...).

Suffice it to say, the winner will claim victory by their own ability. The identity of the superior fighter will not be in doubt at the end.

1 month wait... More like my birthday is going to be in 1 month. That being the day you release your flash. I'm amazed it's coming out this soon. Your updates have been feeding the anticipation. Now it's a storm I can barely hold at bay!!!

If a telephone pole hit a human at terminal velocity the body in question would be turned into a shishkobob!

Love your work and look forward to the next installment of V.G. Exiles.

Well, notice that I said, "at least a month". Key words being, "at least".

I'm nearing the end of what I can do on this flash, myself. I still have to wait on the voices and artwork. My release date really depends on how soon I can get that art.

If I end up having to wait a little while longer than expected for the art, I will simply start preparation for Episode 4. I have to intention of wasting the potential down time.

I wasn't saying that your teasing us is a bad thing, because if you don't, we don't know whats going on and decide one day to not check back up. Though I'm sure you noticed how much ass kissing i did with the whole "Greatest thing to come out of newgrounds" bit to know how.....appreciative I am of your work.

ChimeraMK

Do you ever wonder what happened to Suroy? People say he's dead.

Sad. he was a great animator and i'm pretty sure everyone wanted to see Chun-li/Strider-hiryu vs Scorpion/Sub-zero

R1665 (Updated )

Suroy is alive and well.

He updated his personal blog yesterday: http://suroy.wordpress.com/

Alright! isn't this where you got the last episode, and it ended up taking another few months, or something to that effect? Anyway, I can't wait to see this sucker. I always enjoyed your series, and now isn't going to be any different. I wish I had such animation skills. It will take me years of practice to get half as good as people like you...

Anyway, yeah. Keep up the good work.

R1665

"isn't this where you got the last episode, and it ended up taking another few months, or something to that effect?"

Yup. It's also entirely possible that could happen again. The artwork is a bottleneck. 3XStudios has a lot less free time on his hands than I do. Either way, any extra time taken will not go to waste. I could certainly get a head start on the library-building process of Episode 4 while I'm waiting.

---------------

I've actually found that practice isn't the key to getting better in flash. Practice will only solidify one's current abilities. The key to getting better in flash is to understand the program so well that you can quickly incorporate new techniques or develop your own shortcuts.

In fact, practice can actually hurt you. The longer you do any particular technique, the harder it is to adapt to new ones. You have to stay flexible.

manishan

cool menu system but it looks same like previous one.

R1665

It'll work much like the previous one, too. It's an upgrade, not a complete overhaul.

Being a series, each Episode (1 - end) is going to have a similar, yet visibly unique interface. I consider this particular "look" to be one of my signatures.

R1665

IcyOne

HELLLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!!!! Can't wait for it man this is gonna be kick ass \,,/ ^o^ \,,/

By the way thanks for the Fighter Factory is helped in getting sprites i didn't know actually existed.

Ay almost forgot u should check out my page I got an updated with on of my personally hand drawn sprites & I gotta say that it looks as good as, if not better than the best SF sprites ( Acording to every one I've showed it to thus far ).

Word!

Thricesplice

As I've said in the past, I really liked your episodes 1 and 2 (zero was ok, but that was obviously you developing skills). You've really hyped up this episode, which is risky because it means everyone's standards are going to be higher, so you're going to have to deliver far beyond episode 2. Also, you've told us some of the plot details (little things, but it still takes away some of the surprise factor), so that adds to the difficulty of bettering your episode 2.

So basically, you seem to have a little hubris... it can be healthy. I hope your next episode is as good as you profess it to be.

For what it's worth, I think your episodes are a little than Proxcides. Granted, his are older and laid the foundations for some of this quasi-genre. I'm glad you want to get rid of his 'cheap' endings (the first one or two times they work well, after that it's hard to convince the audience that a surprise isn't in store).
Best of luck!

R1665

It's not so much hubris as it is a desire to make monthly updates that are worth reading. I personally find it a bit annoying when animators go for long periods without updates or are otherwise out of communication. Like everyone else, I enjoy knowing what my favorite animators are up to.

"Completely unrelated hypothetical question: What would happen if a telephone pole were to slam into a human body at terminal velocity?"

I'D LAUGH MY ASS OFF!!!!

I suppose that Sakura did deserve to help take Gambit down, but I definitely agree that you would need more than one person to kill Gambit.

Mini-Dude
