Ryon... If you really want to make your Parasite compatible with almost every MUGEN creation char (which that is a highly impossible task to do), then you're going to have to make different versions of Parasite. For example: The parasite that you have already out or you're updating then you should just finish him up and let him be the version that has all the Marvel/DC power stealing abilities. Then I know you probably won't go for this because it's obvious you don't want to go through that whole mess but just create or copy from scratch other different versions of Parasites and erase all his moves which involve stealing powers from Marvel/DC chars and just implement ones like Ryu,Ken,Fei Long, Chun Li,Terry Borgard,Gueese Howard,Andy Borgard, Goku,Ichigo Kurosaki,Vegeta,Chado, Ishida Uryu,Krillin,etc. U get what I'm trying to say... I hope this gives u an idea and helps you out and ofcourse it'll be great for us fans as well. P.S. I don't mean to give you more work than you already have but you did ask us fans to give you ideas, so here's mines. I hope you enjoy and take at least a few from what I mentioned. Thanks for your time. Lataz/Peace!!!
 

How about the Sentry and that super secret icon I made for you that's suppose to be a surprise power set that's a call back to a previous fighting game that I sent you via PMs.

Hint hint, nudge nudge Buyog boy.

HAHA! But I don't want to over stimulate you so with the two I mentioned, I like NX-Men's idea for an Ant-Man Power slot. But other then that, Ultron, the Mandarin, and Possibly Hawkman are the only ones I really want. But I'd say DEFINITELY do the Sentry one and super secret one (if you don't remember, I'll PM you) if you had to chose two.

The Sentry's moveset you could go with the MVC version by Infinity OR work on a new set like a Yellow energy blast Ala Doom's for his special and maybe a beat down, an explosion, and a void attack for the hyper. OH OH OH! And he definitely needs a special intro with the sentry saying something like "Hey! You look familiar, Golden Boy!"

Plus there's that one intro idea I told you a few years ago involving that fake Parasite from the new adventures of Superman. The intro would be very similar to the one that Iceman based Sprites Silver Surfer has, where we see that awful one floating by and the real Surfer smacks him off the screen.

Those are my ideas but if you want to go even further beyond Marvel and DC and say have power sets from certain enemies of Ninja Turtles, then I got some ideas. :D

But that's all for now, let me know what you think. :)
 

My opinion is to rework what you have and implement the most common power sets that are common in most comics. Then make those power sets active when absorbing from specific characters, thus you eliminate the need to be adding more and more power sets down the road.

You could replace the power set icons with icons that show what kind of power it is. For example:

strength
speed
flight
lasers/projectiles
ice
fire
electricity
stretching
shape-shifting
force field
counter move/shield
armor/absorbing projectiles
invisibility
shrink/growth
agility
teleporting
telepathy/astral form
charging/slashing
smashing ground
healing factor
lantern powers
symbiote powers
ninja?
hadouken?

Perhaps you could have special icons for specific characters, like Superman, Hal, Spidey, etc., similar to having a special intro to a character. Other characters would have to settle for sharing the generic power sets.

If it's a non-comic book character, or they aren't listed in the code, then he could always gain life, power or some other thing, similar to Rogue in MvC2.

Well, that's my two cents. In my mind it's the most logical and less cumbersome in the long run. I think your character will last longer if you do this.

Aside from his power sets, from last time I remember playing Parasite, he could stand to be more combo friendly and move a little faster. I realize he's a bigger character thus slower, but I usually find it hard to use him in a fight. Maybe I'm just biased and prefer faster moving characters. lol

Best of luck with all your work! :)
 

I think having a Scarecrow set would be great, along with Ant-Man.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I'll check these out when I get back to town (I'm in SF on business right now).

@Anon / @Twin: you both raise valid points, and I agree that I can't keep shoving stuff into his move set forever, but I think maybe a hybrid approach is best. I'll elaborate in this week's post.
