Deoxys

[Cshad]

The blue looks kinda Neon-ish in this photo, but I'll be sure to mess around with it. I'll mess with the pelvis too.

[Koopaul]

Needs more neck I think.

Yeah let's have it so he changes right back after using the special moves that way we won't have to program in a bunch of different stats or make a bunch of different sprites.

Yes. This is exactly the direction I wanted Deoxys to go. In addition to changing form during simple motions like running and blocking, I wanted him to change forms depending which special attack he'd be using:

Neutral+B - Normal Form
Down+B - Defense Form
Up+B - Attack Form ( or Speed Form )
Side+B - Speed Form ( or Attack Form )

Then he'd change back into the default Normal Form whenever neccessary.

[Cshad]

He shouldnt change forms on the basis of special attack, he should change forms for whatever action he is using. He'll change forms depending on what kind of special attack we give him imo.

Ie Running - Speed form
Guarding - Def form
Smash Attacks - Attack form (or whatever form is nessecary)

etc

[Koopaul]

I dunno consider him holding the Ray Gun then running with it. I think he should have hands for that and speed form doesn't have hands.

[Cshad]

Deoxys normal form is capable of switching back and forth between having hands and not having them, whats to say the other forms cant abuse it as well?

[Shadowth117]

What Apparatus said and the fact that fictional characters tend to be able to grab things without hands anyway. Kirby for example.

[MaverickETC]

I forgot to mention this earlier.
I think Deoxys should stand on the ground.

[Koopaul]

No I mean the transition from from hands to tentacle while holding an item.

Besides I think its easier just to reserve the other forms for special attacks.

[Cshad]

Your still holding the items while using the B button

[Koopaul]

No they disappear like Link's Bow or Fox's Blaster. They swap em'.

[Cshad]

I still think it's cheap to only represent Deoxys through his special moves :/. We could just have one arm the normal hand and have that hold the item the entire time. Deoxys can switch back and forth so fast I doubt anyone would care. We could give him transition frames if absolutely necessary

[Koopaul]

Then he'd barely be neutral! He'd always be attack or speed form.

His neutral form is his most prominant and most important. In the movie he only switched to attack form when launching that one attack. He was mostly neutral.

[Cshad]

Then most of his normal A moves and tilts can be Nuetral Deoxys

Decided to try a Base for Deoxys:



Don't mind the first row, I was just messing around with the colors (1st one's my own attempt, second are App's colors, and the third one's a different orange already in the Project's pallette)

I also tried to make his 'DNA' arms. More or less, they're a heavy WIP
