Replace his stomach with a ying-yang-ball and make the generic enemies Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Zangief, etc...

BECOME A PART OF ME!

[i wanna be the guy]

What dangers lurk ahead? Why doesn't our hero wear pants?

i swear to god if this is actually relevant to the story, you need to pull a frisky dingo

where it's revealed he's walking around naked for literally no reason whatsoever

[Joseph]

whadya think?



Half man, half alien, half bird.

[Wander]

hahaha - i like what you did with the chest area esp. - but the phrase half man, half animal, half X - that's always a good way to describe something.

[Nate Kling]

Much better design.  Before he was basically just a ripped naked guy with purple skin.  Now hes much more interesting!

[Joseph]

updated animations with new design

Yeah I'm definitely more happy with this design, its got much more personality. Thanks to Wander for the getting me out of my design rut!

[Simon Andersson]

That looks much more original! I'll love to see where this goes.

This is looking very nice! The animations are very good, as well. Keep it up, I'd like to see where this goes.

Hmm thinking about the controls... The gem in his chest is a portal to a pocket dimension used for storing items. I want Cardinal to summon items at any time.

movement
Walk left or right. Press down to crouch.

standard attack (punch)
Press repeatedly to perform a 4 hit combo. Combine with direction buttons to perform strong attacks.
I.E. up+atk= uppercut, forward+atk= switch kick, down+atk= sweep

special attack (shoot)
Combine direction buttons to perform other special attacks. I.E. nuetral+sp= energy shot, forward+sp= searing lunge, up+sp= knee blast, down+sp= thunderstorm (shield breaker)

jump
Jumping is important. Wall jumps are possible.

shield
Nullify most attacks. Watch out for shield breaking attacks.

summon item
Use your chest gem to summon items/weapons from a pocket dimension. You can store an infinite number of items.

grab/throw
Grab and throw anything; items, weapons, or enemies.



I'm thinking a gamepad or XB controller would be ideal...

[aeiowu]

i think he needs a little less muscle and a little more of this:





[looking great, can't wait to play]

[Joseph]

hahahaha NOISH! Someone should photoshop that guys head onto Cardinals body...

WELL this game isn't in development, I'm just kinda playing around with the idea while I'm working on other things. Maybe after I finish my current projects I can start working on this.

if inspired then good inspiration!

[Joseph]

OH HELL YEAH definitely a fan of Treasure. Also taking inspiration from Battletoads, ComixZone, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros and Vectorman to name a few.
