[Release Watch] Strong Guy, Day 10

Thursday, January 26, 2012

So, this is likely going to be the last installment of Strong Guy Release Watch! I've got the perfect sound effects for Havok and Polaris now, and have revamped how the Quicksilver part works as well. Then this morning I did an audit through all of his hypers to add the KineticE damage multiplier apply to all of his physical force-based hypers: Touchdown, Cannonball (Hyper Blanka Envy), and Pinhead. Finally, I've revamped Touchdown (again) to make it more visually appealing and to distinguish it a bit more from Hyper Pinhead in terms of how it affects player 2.

That just leaves the tweaks to camera behavior for Megaton Fury and Piledriver.
