Mugen:Rorschach


When Watchmen first came out, I was about 10 or 11 so I have not read it. With the new movie coming out in one month, I've decided to not read the comics or look up any information until after the film. It may be interesting going into the movie without a lot of knowledge of the world the movie takes place in. At the same, the story is seminal - influencing modern storytelling in fundamental ways. I don't know everything about Rorschach but I do know he is important to the story and I was overjoyed to see that Sean Altly decided to make him into a mugen character. Hopefully mugen version of other Watchmen characters will show up. It's a well-done character I enjoy using it. It was released 02/04/09 according the Mugen Guild forum. Also, Mr. Altly, has gone on record saying that he will release a patch to tweak Rorschach's AI so that he will be awesome when controlled by the computer. Here is a list his features quoted from Sean's post on the forum:

Rorschach's features:

-4 Intros
-Kovacs Cameo

***Important Note About AI***
Right now, Rorschach does not have a custom AI. However, Kamekaze is working on one, but it may take a while. When it's done, I'll release a simple patch, so be patient, for he will be a BEAST.

He has a lot of great moves and I enjoy the character. He moves well. And I like the guns. See the video below.
