There was a surprise release yesterday of Archangel by the SOS_1_bros at IMT. The char leans heavily upon Acey's Firebrand coding, but the sprite work looks pretty decent...especially for a first time release with zero guidance from others. The character was determined to be open source, so he went through a number of updates done my quite a few IMT community members, basically spearheaded by Zvitor. The sounds are pretty good, and I like a lot of the new portraits added.

He has a number of special and hyper moves, but unfortunately there is no corresponding readme file. So just watch the video to the end where I'll show the command moves for those moves.

Yes there are issues beyond just the lack of a readme file for the moves, since again this is a first release. Some of the moves (some kicks stand out the most) look unnatural. Perhaps a few more frames of animation could be added here and there as well. Also, one of the community members noted that the when he is doing some moves, he appears a little smaller than what is seen in his general stance.

In short, I like him, yes he can improve, and perhaps either the original authors will do it, or you! (he is open source after all)

Mugen: Archangel

Archangel is an X-Men and very popular. I like him very much. He's rich. He's conflicted. He has also been in every incarnation of the X-Men out of the comic books. Archangel is the name Angel took when his organic mutant wings were destroyed and Apocalypse replaced them with techno-organic wings - much the same technology that Apocalypse used to infect Cyclops' son Cable. There are going to be different versions of the character for Mugen. This version was created by Zujin and a team. There is another version by aPoCaLyPsE. From what I understand they are both different. Here are some links to the general character.

Warren Worthington III has worn many different costumes and looks as both Angle and Archangel. I like the look of this version.

I like this character. I don't think it's complete yet but it does have basic moves you can punch with the wing. You can kick with the feet and there is one really cool hyper move. If you can pull it off and your opponent does not block it, it does a great deal of damage. Here is the video I made testing the character. For the video we have one demo fight. I thought it was a good fight and I don't have as much time as I would like. This is a character that I would love to do more practice with.
