Looks cool, Gary.

[YoshiAngemon]

He even implimented that Floatym'n thing Homsar has. Maybe he can do Homsar as the Captain CAAAAVEMAAAAN of the Graveyard Train!

What the heck is MUGEN?

A fighting game engine, that lets people make their own stuff... somehow. I haven't been able to find much about how it works.

Wow, that's really, really great. I love the interactive stages, needs more moves though.

[GaryCXJk]

Yeah, I thought about adding the "Captain Caveman of the graveyard train" thing, but first of all I don't really know if it has background music mixed trough it, and second, I'm pretty lazy. I still need to implement the Rocoulm move I wanted to implement, and the Worm is hard as nails to sprite.

But I mostly try to implement moves from the cartoons, or at least try to implement moves that fit Homsar. I still am not so sure about using that Horrible Painting as a stun move, but it would be kind of unique to add a new Jibblies status for MUGEN.

And I still need to figure out what should trigger the "Heavy Lourde" move. I already know that his bowler hat should spawn it, since I don't want it to completely appear from Hammerspace, but it also means I need to sprite yet again a new bowler hat sprite (I already made his train machinist hat transformation, which I still need to figure what move it should be given to).

That's the biggest challenge, though, to add moves that are typically Homsar. Especially by his non-violent behaviour. It would be kind of weird for him to suddenly spawn rocks from the ground to pound his enemy like a pulp for example (although he might be capable of doing such thing), so using Sweet Cuppin' Cakes characters as strikers is something hilarious to do, and it doesn't really seem all that violent. Only cartoon violence, but who hasn't seen the Loony Tunes?

Oh, and I have some small surprises on the way, unfortunately one surprise has already been guessed by someone else on YouTube.

Darnit...

By the way, the stages aren't really interactive. MUGEN still doesn't allow for that. It's only animated and such.

[YoshiAngemon]

Much like Homsar giving the Jibblies Painting a case of the Jibblies, Homsar's Captain Caveman moment doesn't have BGM.

Need I mention there's a Character called "Stinkoman 20X6"
He's an OK character, but he has a Lack of Specials (Cheatball Throw, Cheatball Uber Throw, 20X6 Kick is all I think..) And I;ve seen him use Pan Pan from time to time. I'll try and remember where I got him.

EDIT:
http://infinitymugenteam.com/ Here, Its in Chars/Misc, Its called "20X6

Some sort of sonic scream(with the Wah-aha audio)? Also, you should put some thought into making use of Homsar's invisible arms. Maybe having air current-like effects to show where they are generally.

You could also have a Meteo-like attack (from the Final Fantasy games), where Homsar exclaims:

Well, it looks like I won the Powerball.

Using Powerballs ping-pongs in place of Meteors.

[Ray-The-Sun]

Wait, A move that hits various places on screen at the same time? that'd be an incredibly cheap move. Almost as cheap as Hyper-Neo Kamek's moves. (undodgeable lasers, 5 second stun, Instant-Hit anvil, 10 rechargable special-Gauges.)

[Snicklin]

Can you really make your own characters and stages on MUGEN? If so, I'm downloading it.

[Ray-The-Sun]

You need external programs/Wicked Notepad and Photoshop skills, but yeah. You can...
Or alternatively, download what everyone ELSE does, considering the finished product is 100 x Better.

Oh, Anyone here heard of a "Cheap Character"? Its a character that is Overpowered for the sake of being overpowered, Prime examples are; "Master Hand, Ultimate Chimera, CheapBosstype, and to a Lesser extent; Hyper Neo Kamek, OldSchoolMario (Mario Teaches Typing), and Boggy B"

[GaryCXJk]

Indeed. And I already have the feeling his bowler hat is kind of cheap. It does about 5 damage per hit, but the light one already deals an average of 30 (60 on max), medium can go on an average of 60 (120 on max). So, naturally, I'll need to tone down the hard one. That also means that his supers can't be anything "kah-razy".

And anyway, "Looks like I've won the Powerball" sounds more like a victory exclamation.

I do have some moves though that are pretty moderate for Homsar's standard, I think, but that doesn't do a freakazoid much damage.

Anyway, for the ones who are curious:



His portrait.

Oh, and by the way, like I said, I would love to keep a lot of things from the cartoons instead of resorting to SBCG4AP. Not saying the games aren't "in canon", but I just think it's fair to give the cartoons a priority.

Just in case people try to suggest a move based on SBCG4AP.

[Ray-The-Sun]

Have you decided what his taunt/Charge is gonna be? His "DAAAaaaaAAAaaaAAAaaAA" might fit the bill, or "I was raised by a Cup 'o Coffee!" Or something like that...
Oh, and can I ask, Whats his Intro(s)? I'd suggest multiple ones, Especially if you're in a Homsar v. Homsar fight, or on a specific stage.

[GaryCXJk]

I've already shown you the Homsar vs Homsar intro. It's in both Preview 2 and in the current preview. There is also one versus any other character ("I'm Homsar, the captain of the gravy train."), and I will take the Captain Caveman of the Graveyard Train also in consideration, although I do need to figure out what would trigger that one.

His taunt would of course be the random screaming of some sorts.

Also, I'm thinking about making my own Stinkoman when I'm done with Homsar, since the current one is too big. Place him next to Ryu and he towers out above him. Of course, right now El Dumpo would be bigger than Ryu as well (both in height as in weight), but that would probably be okay.

[YoshiAngemon]

Make his Captain Caveman Costume an alternate costume, complete with attacks involving the club. In other words, he'd be a clone of the REAL CAPTAIN CAAAAVEMAAAAAAAANN!!!!

[Ray-The-Sun]

That would need either a separate character, Or some ultimate script skills.
They aren't alternate costumes, They're Palettes.

[Natey9]

Win. Enough said.

[Lucsar]

idea for a win pose: Homsar puts a hand on his head (he have invisble hands), and he unzips in half to reveal Ring Ring (The girl with blue hair from Pucca).

And for attack: He says "I brang my best foot flowered!" Then a flower with a foot on top falls down and crushs the victim.

[GaryCXJk]

Who the hell is Ring Ring and what the hell does she have to do with Homestar Runner? And yes, I am aware of what Pucca is, and there's neither a mutual connection nor is there a one-sided connection between Pucca and the Homestar Runner universe.

Also, that's not a really Homsar move, or Homestar Runner like at all. Stop making suggestions that aren't even that good.
