Jack Sparrow

This expansion is basically complete. I just need to check over the new checklist and make sure I have everything.

Captain Jack Sparrow

Credits:
--The Kraken, its effects (bubble, splash), and the extra water animation all come from the Kraken MUGEN character. The character was originally made by Pots.
--Explosions used for the entrance animation (casket break, casket shot, casket parts, bird exploding), the ocean animation, and the entrance platforms come from here and here.
--The casket sprite used in the entrance animation is an edit of a mummy's sarcophagus, originally from a Castlevania sprite.

Specials

-Uncharged shot
-Rapid shots
- -Effects
-Slo-mo shot: Charge
-Slo-mo shot: Fire
-Slo-mo shot: Effects
--Concept: For the slo-mo shot the bullet moves at about half speed of the normal shot (The normal shot might not even have a bullet, just invisible damage similar to Fox's gun. Whatever.) ...and the slo-mo shot deals twice as much damage as the normal shot. For additional damage and incentive to charge, the bullet might not be destroyed upon contact with a character, but rather drift across the entire length of the screen. It would be more effective that way, obviously, but might deal too much damage then.
The idea was taken from the ridiculously slow slo-mo shot in POTC 2 where Jack pops out of nowhere and shoots the explosive barrels above the Kraken.

--Concept:Jack summons Davey Jones who in turn summons the Kraken.
(Note: Davey's appearance is mostly a brief effect included in order to add interest and context and provide some logical explanation for Jack being the one in control of the Kraken. If the programmer thinks Davey doesn't need to be in the FS then by all means leave him out. Jack could just as easily summon the Kraken directly.)
The ocean rises up across the bottom of the screen. Jack must chase down the other players. If he incurs any damage to any player, that player will rocket down into the ocean. When the player collides with the ocean there will either be a large splash and munching sounds, or a tentacle that smacks the character up off the screen. Eventually the waters recede and the final smash ends.

Looks really nice.

Umm, you're FS is to summon Davy Jones to summon the Kraken? Why not just make it the Kraken?

Well, according to the storyline, nobody but Davey Jones has any control over the Kraken, it's his personal pet. So it wouldn't make sense for Jack to summon it without Jones, at least in my mind. If you have Jones' heart, however, you can force him to do anything you want, including summoning the Kraken.

I don't think the run accurately portrays his character.

He vanishes mysteriously in the dash attack and side, up, and down specials.

That's intentional. Jack's animation has completed and he has returned to the first frame of the idle animation, but the effects have a few more frames. I didn't want Jack's animations to loop oddly and I didn't want to cut off the effects, so I just erased Jack for the remaining effects frames as a cue to the programmer that Jack should return to the idle at that point.

I'm not sure that'll work out... you could just put the idle back in while the effects roll... that'd make it easier for the programmers...

So? Why not just make it that the Kraken appears? He could have been summoned by Jones, but you just don't show it.

The checklist has been updated to the most recent version. I rearranged a few animations to fit all of the new requirements. All animations are complete as far as I know.

Well, that's nothing wrong with that plan, you're right. In my opinion it's really more interesting to show Jones. It brings in that much more of the POTC universe and gives Jack a sense of context. Aside from the storyline explanation aspect, it just adds some style and interest to the FS. But it wouldn't really bother me if Jones wasn't included. In the final analysis it's up to the programmer. I've added a note to that effect to the first post.

As someone who has tinkered with programming in the past, I set it up this way because it would've been the most useful system to me if I were the programmer. I can certainly change it if I'm sure it'll make things better for them, but as it now if it's just our opinions and we're not programming anything I don't want to do anything that would actually make things more difficult and then have to work backwards. Any chance anyone doing the programming has an opinion on the issue?

Maybe it's the speed of the animation? The animation is exactly as it appears in the official POTC GBA game and it looks fine in-game there, in my opinion, though it does play a little faster.

Question: Will a Carrying Box animation be used for expansions or should I move it into the Unused Extras post?

Why not make Davy attack? That way he's not completely useless.

I meant that it doesn't look as feminine as it did in the movies.

Ah, right. Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but if his run looked exactly like he did in the movies he'd probably come off looking overdone and gimmicky. I think the idol and walking animations do fit his character very nicely though.

Ganonthegreat wrote:

Well, my original idea was that Jones would be more of a visual effect than anything. He'd just fade on and off the screen in about 4-5 seconds while the Kraken was appearing. But that is a good idea. If he is included and stays on the screen he should definitely attack.

Jones animations moved to 1st post:
-Davey Jones: Attack
-Davey Jones: Damaged

Am I missing any animations? There's no mysterious new checklist?

You still need to make Davy run and jump.

I think this is very good. Good job man, although I do agree Davy Jones should so some more stuff.
