Thanks my friend, and we are only just getting started.
I am currently designing the full screen stun effects.
Luckily there is not too much more to do on this phase so we will be complete soon to move on to the next phase, but back to the mountains to train i must go lol

What this text means, is that we have just completed phase029: Fightfx.air custom hitspark fx system light/medium/heavy/guard.
What it also means, is we are currently working on PHASE030 - Fightfx.air/Common.cns: ADD004 Custom stock Movement/Dizzy System

The Phase you are talking about with portrait system, is a much later phase in the project.
In order for us to unlock this phase, we must first complete all the unfinished phases first.
It is a similar method to how we create Mugen stages.
the complex code related elements, and the structure are completed first. then the candyfloss (portrait templates and editable psds) get finished last.

If we start to edit multiple portraits via the templates now, without first planning the victory screen port system, the select screen ports system, the vs screen port system, and the single mode and turns mode lifebar port system, or potential changes to existing port template system, it could be risky if any changes are made to any of the templates before all the lifebars are finished for the other modes (turns/single etc).
meaning any work you do now could be obsolete by the time we are finished
But when that phase does come, i am sure we will achieve the same level of greatness indeed!

Now with the stun animation sorted, we can start to look at the Player Down Animation during Tag Team mode.
For example, one new special feature that we have with this, that is added via the add004 patcher, is the ability to add extra animation when
the player in a Tag team is Knocked Out.
The animation system will work the same as when the opponent is stunned but will only show during knock down.
Here is the styler I am gooing for during the knock down ( I know you like your vibrant colors so I changed it up slightly lol)

Now we just need to animate it and code which wont take long.
Mountain time

Well a new week and it gets better from here!
The next step we are working on now is the Guard Crush System phase.

Once upon a time it was something we always dreamed about having.
Only a few creators ever managed to custom code it properly.
Luckily by using add004 base coding half the hard work is already done!

Incase you forgot how it works, players will have a small guard meter that decrreases everytime they block. When the meter reaches zero, the player is stunned momentarily.

In my experience mugen CANNOT function without it due to how unbalanced and spammy many chars are. So it is needed to prevent chars who block spam too much or even players who abuse blocking

The mission is to implement the guard crush meter with the existing lifebars.

Then create the similar animation BG and robot female voice to confirm guard crush.

There will also be a warning message as it gets low.
Heeeere we go mountain time.
