Strider_Hien[V3R]

Timed state

• 1200 ticks, runs independently of the current move
• No cut-off when a move ends

One central aura

• Replaces many scattered afterimages
• Every other afterimage is guarded so it cannot leave a gap
• Activation on the ground and in the air, with an edge pulse

Auto Evasion and Auto Block

• Also during the Dual-Cyan cypher throw
• Faster Ultra teleport, easier chains

Teleport

• Free movement
• Separate disappear and reappear animations with their own sprite sets

Chain-Teleport

• Bound to a move, only while its animation runs
• From Shohoudan, Nigenteki, Shinku, Bakushin, Guard Breaker, Back-Roll, ground throws, wall kicks

Evasion-Teleport

• In place, the move continues
• Short invulnerable window

Behaviour

• Checks the opponent position and pushes Hien back from the edge
• Reappearance with strips, ground and air variants
• Guard Breaker teleport follows with a denser trail

Cyan Cypher

• Four-direction animation restored
• Sound plays once, 30 tick cooldown

Purple Cypher

• 0.8 s charge on the standard throw animation
• Purple afterimages
• Wall version throws at standing height

Blue Cypher

• Darker blue aura
• No sticking to the opponent on the way back

Golden Cypher Throw

• Flies three times: throw, run along the ground, return
• Chain-Teleport from frame 3

Dual-Cyan Cypher Throw

• Two cyphers, Auto Block active

Shared

• Wall-cling throws at standing height with a tick sound and a 3 second limit
• Centres the opponent, pulls back at the screen edge
• Sparks: white base, coloured at runtime

Bakushin

• Original blue afterimages
• Paralyses instead of launching
• Chains from Ground Barrage

Tei Hou Dan

• Slower projectile, guaranteed return
• Catch animation, single throw sound

Kou Hou Dan, the purple cypher

• Paralysis: no damage. A hit puts the opponent into the paralysis state for about 2.2 s (131 ticks) and locks Hien's purple throws for about 3.2 s (191 ticks)
• Charge: the first picture is held for 48 ticks (about 0.8 s), then the cypher is released
• Out: flies straight at 11 px per tick for up to 174 ticks (about 2.9 s). In the air it also follows the opponent's height
• Hit: it keeps flying 14 more ticks, then turns. Block: nothing special, it flies its full path
• Miss: after 174 ticks it reappears at the stage edge behind Hien and flies back
• Return: homes in on Hien at up to 15 px per tick (24 after a hit) and is caught at close range
• Wall version: 48-tick charge, then the same flight

Gravity Jump

• Upside-down rise with its own sprites
• Dynamic Chain-Teleport sprites for start, flight and arrival

Back-Roll

• Shadow state
• Absolute teleport maths

Guard Breaker

• Isolated use only
• No Ground Barrage afterwards
• Air Barrage once per jump

• Hou Kage Zan no longer stops falling
• Auto-teleport window uses the absolute distance and covers the whole stage
• Juggle points set per hit for chain moves
• Nigenteki: the pushed opponent no longer pushes Hien
• Light Punch and Light Kick: swing sounds removed
• Animation duplicates removed, unique readable names

All original moves

• Plasma Beam: should replace Guiding Light completely, the current implementation is wrong
• Dash-Cut as in the original: replaces the current Bakushin

All movement animations with their own sprites

• Cypher throw
• Walking
• Holding the cypher

New cypher-slash sprites

• Change the cypher-slash sprites
• And much more on the sprite side

Grandmaster Meio power-up

• Strider Hien was an agent of Grandmaster Meio
• A power-up at power level 2 or 3: Hien is strengthened either through his normal attacks or through a new moveset, like in Ultra Mode
• Hien also fights with his hands, buffed with an aura (dark matter, plasma, lightning). They replace all Medium and Hard Punch kits
• Attacks to bring over: Plasma, Darkness, Lightning Cypher, and a standard attack enhancement (lightning damaging ticks on hit)
• Implementation, option 1: while a cypher is flying (for example the golden cypher), Hien can punch with his hand. The cypher disappears from all sprites, which is logical

More attacks and moves

• More attacks and moves of my own are planned
• I only need to know what to learn first
