Haha Thanks MAN. It's kinda hard to see the VFX's for attacking and traps but it's still pretty sweet.

First impressions (from the video only: I don't have anything to play my PS2 on right now) look good. Movements appear more fluid and everything generally looks more intuitive. My only suggestion is that it seems like it would be nice if enemies got knocked back a little bit when you hit them; otherwise, it's going to be hard to kill anything without taking a good amount of damage. Perhaps you already have that planned, but I just wanted to make sure it was something you were thinking about.

Yup doan got it, I have a variable called effect that is attached to every attack. Depending on the value it can knock the enemy back, give them a status effect like start em on fire or confused, set them to a battle strategy etc...
The demo was kinda thrown together that day rushed like. I wish you could see the gun in actin better and the combos but OH well.
Also it's most likely that only certain attacks in the combo will push the enemy back. Like the 3rd one in the XXX combo, wouldn't make sense to have a three hit combo if they got pushed back after the first hit. There's also a charge attack that's kinda a hidden combo, I'll have that knock em really far back.
My effect system is actually really advanced I set kind of effect, number of times it occurs -1 for forever, and the wait frame count for inbetween effects. There's also a priority rating for the effects. Actually I think I started this tactic in Z:Triforce...
Glad you enjoyed

Yeah I agree with Doan, I was playing and I was getting surrounded. Still awesome system Brock.

Wow! That dark room is pretty cool. I like the strange glowing walls. Very freaky looking.

Its not glowing walls, All Nash did is make a SUNBEAM VFX on the character. Its a trick he does, that sneaky bastard, jk. But yeah I thought it was insane when he showed me.

Ah, so it's not too different from the globe of light VFX I created a while ago for my dark room. Still, I like how the effect looks in this video.

Reminds me of Metal Gear Solid for some unknown reason.

Yeah, that is a pretty cool-looking effect. It certainly doesn't look like anything else I've ever seen on RPGM2, and for me at least, the shock factor of, "I never knew that could be done on RPGM2!" is the best response of all.

Well, since I actually did something like this myself a long time ago I wasn't quite as shocked that he could do it, but the effect is a lot cooler looking then mine. I'll have to make sure my new demo has the dark room in it so people can compare the two.
