Honey The Cat 1.2.4

i love sonic the fighters. it's cool. honey is cool. you're cool <3

there is currently a problem with her hair being stuck in place (in software) when gravity flips and her sprites being jumbled in the special stages

(in open gl with 3d models turned on) her whole head is stuck in place and her model remains headless until gravity is flipped back the worse part is in special stages where her whole body scatters making it really hard to know where u are

as for the character itself it's one of my top 5 and I really love her characterization in this mod, the cute pose she does whenever a stage is completed, her running animation, the ability to spam crouch and her attacks being references to fighting vipers she's a 9/10 on visuals, 9 because I would've loved an idle animation

it'll be a 4.5/5 when she's fixed

The effort put into the sprites here is quite impressive, translating a lot of her signature moves and attributes to SRB2 pretty flawlessly. Her moveset, while sorta stiff, is quite unique.

I would love to see this maybe revisited with a fresh look on the moves, maybe momentum influencing the crouch and butt bash, or the pounce having more utility. Being able to pull off all the moves in the air for some mad combos.

I could very well spitball all day about how you'd rework the character, that's just how interesting this moveset is despite the flaws. Overall this is definitely worth the download, especially for BattleMod fans.

[review deleted and reformatted — sorry for any confusion!]
After having played this character for… (checks release date) about two months now, I think I can finally leave a fair review.

Honey is absolutely one of my favorite SRB2 add-ons to date. She's not too simple, but not too complicated — using Jump, Spin, Custom 1, and nothing more — so the learning curve isn't as steep. Her mobility feels absolutely wonderful and the sprites have so much personality to them, and I can honestly say I've come to appreciate the character itself more due to this addon alone.

Particular things I like about the mod:
Using Cat Pounce in the air for that forward thrust feels so nice when correctly applied. It's almost like a more natural-feeling thok. The ability to use it twice is also very fun for traversing gaps and the like.
I also enjoy the auto-attack she has when close to other enemies. Though this isn't the first instance of this gimmick, it works well with her kit and maintaining momentum.
The Wings system overall is also great. She may only have two wings, but they're somehow just enough to both remain airborne for large amounts of time and still be back to the ground to recharge without breaking the flow.

Iffier things:
The Moon Kick is about what's you'd expect. It's definitely not a bad thing — goes well with her kit, as does everything else — but it's not something I particularly loved or hated. She wouldn't be the same character without it, though, with it being the main starter to a chain.
Hyper Mode is a fun little thing as well, but there aren't many places in simpler levels where you can find a good use for it. It can lead to crazy skips in the right places, but I also feel like the character would feel relatively the same and possibly closer to vanilla SRB2 without it. Might have preferred it to somehow be locked behind a wall of some sort (other than the 25 rings requirement), like a gauge or maybe 1-2 emeralds?
Butt Bop also feels somewhat limited in application, but I don't often engage in combat while playing levels, so I don't have much complaint there. With rows of single-hit enemies it feels super fun, but when faced with more ranged enemies like Robo-Hoods or Jetty-Syns, or dealing with multiple Sir Lance-a-bots, it feels kinda obsolete compared to other options.

Things I DIDN'T like:
None! The secondcolor support, the Candy mode, the custom idle animation that really gives off the fighting game vibe, and the super clutch Ukemi — it's all there, and it's all great. While some characters get a little tired after repeated plays or just feel a little too far from SRB2's style, this one never loses its charm and I continue to enjoy it. Great work on this and your other characters, light dasher!

I can absolutely see the inspiration behind the meter, that being the Wirebug from Monster Hunter Rise. The regeneration on the ground, the cap of 2, even the things you do with it. (if it wasn't intentional, then it's a huge coincidence.) Given that I love that game and the wirebug mechanics, i instantly fell in love with how honey controls. You might call the recovery "Tech", but I know that it's just the Wirefall. At this point, just give her the wiredash, wall run, and temporary third use, and you got the full package.

Woah! One of my faves is here! Nicely done sprites! Very interesting abilites! I love it!

No more portlegs, it's time for the real deal and she's alright i guess.

After playing Honey for a bit, i can say that she's decent. The sprites are really nice! But the complicated moveset is too hard for me to control. It would be cool if you made the stomp was jump-spin instead of jump-jump. I might have to update this review.

But bop is just the BLJ.
Prove me wrong.

In all seriousness, this is a great mod; a bit wonky to work with, but still good.
I hope you do well in the future.

Very complicated and inconvenient control. I didn’t enjoy playing as this character. I constantly need to press the additional Custom 1 button, which is very inconvenient. The sprites look interesting, but she doesn't have an idle-pose (or what is it called right?).

I get the feeling that this character was made for something else.

Great sprites, and the hair colour system is neat, but her moveset isn't very fun. Using Custom 1 is awkward, and her moves aren't as combat-orientated as I would expect them to be (why doesn't the pounce destroy enemies?). Some changes to shift the focus towards defeating enemies would be nice.

Good gameplay impressed me when I saw it I was 3 years old without seeing honey dedes the last time I played sonic fighters

Amazing character! Though I do wish her moveset was simplier. Great work though!

I like the character, but kitty kick is just a resprite of whatever bandages did when jumping on an enemy

Pretty neat character! Although I did find a bug where you somehow stay in her spinning state after the Cat Pounce. Couldn't replicate it yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

Wow i like her! Good job
