Version History

1/12/2000

Not a big update. Mainly a lot of little things. First off, NeoGouki showed 
me how he got Poppy walking around onscreen, so Poppy is in this release. 
However, i haven't gotten Poppy to really do anything else yet except walk 
around, so i don't know if i'll be able to get him working correctly. Next,
i removed Galford's air jump and instead increased his jumping height, as it
was in SS. Also tweaked his intro, its shorter and better looking now. Did 
some minor animation adjustments as well. Finally, fixed axes and did a 
little collision box work (although col. boxes are still incomplete) No new 
moves yet, i'm thinking of upgrading Galford to a six button character, the 
extra basic attacks are there.

1/4/2000

Initial release. Heres whats implmented so far:

-All basic animation (including required sprites)
-1 win pose
-Intro
-All basic attacks (4)
-One special move
-Sound

Yet to come:

-Throws
-Palettes (act files)
-Better collision boxes
-More specials + supers
-Poppy in some form
-More win pose(s)
-General bug fixes and balancing

Known Issues:

Not all of Galford's required sprites have been aligned correctly yet, so he 
will be displayed strangely when thrown. This will be fixed in the next 
release.


As you can see, Galford is finished enough to be quite playable, but there 
is still more to be done. Poppy is going to be included in Helper form, as
soon as i figure it out. You'll notice in Galford's cns file that Poppy's 
states are commented out, as elecbyte was vague on what to use in the cmd 
file. Also, poppy's animation has already been put in the sff file, although
i haven't postioned the sprites correcly yet.

Brief Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Galford is my first attempt at a Mugen character. His sprites were ripped 
the orignal SS for many reasons, mostly because thats my favorite in the
series. 

Right now, he uses a four button layout, described below:

Basic Attacks:

 A: Light Slash
 B: Heavy Slash
 X: Light Kick
 Y: Heavy Kick

Special Attacks:
 
 Plasma Blade: D,DF,F, A or B
