[Open Assets] Guil's Characters! (FatRat Pack) v6

[Guil]

A collection of characters made by Guil (Previously known as Fattata).

The characters:

Chocobo

Original Thread
ID: "chocobo"
Speed: 6
Weight: 3
Good at keeping up with the pack, but a little easy to push around. Stats come from his source game, Chocobo Racing, where he's slightly faster than average and has good handling. Sounds are from Chocobo Racing.

Zigzagoon

Original Thread
ID: "hzigzag"
Speed: 5
Weight: 2
Zigzagoon is true to its nature in its original series; it's able to zigzag, so it has very good handling. It's also not all that slow, having a base 60 speed in every Pokemon game to date. Sounds are from Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen.

Gysahl (OC)

Original Thread
ID: "gysahl"
Speed: 4
Weight: 9
Gysahl is a heavy bird with a heavy attitude. Very, very good at pushing others around with his max weight stat, but has below average speed. His spark rate is very important! Sounds are from Final Fantasy VII.

Mera (OC)

ID: "mera"
Speed: 2
Weight: 9
Mera shouldn't fit in a kart but manages to make it work. Heavy, like Gysahl, but even slower. He almost has the best spark rate possible! Sounds are from Ultimate Chimera Hunt and MOTHER3.

Nidorino (Classic) NEW!

ID: "nidorinoclassic"
Speed: 8
Weight: 6
An 8-bit Nidorino- one of the first Pokemon a lot of people in the early 90s ever saw, due to their appearance in the intro sequence to Pokemon Blue (and Green). Its appearance is based on its appearance in the 2nd generation Pokemon games (Silver and Gold), and its sound effects are also from those games.
Its kart is from AozoraJustin's 8-Bit Kart base.

This all works! Into releases, a handy way to get all these characters at once then.

 

[D00D64]

Chocobo? And another fat bird? You know what that means!

 

[Guil]

V2 is released, adding a new character and a small change behind the scenes for another.

Stevo has competition.

 

[Superjustinbros]

Big chonky fella <3

 

[Guil]

Added Nidorino.

 

[R.R.]

Nice sprites! Any chance Nidorino will be released as an individual character separate from the pack?

 

[Guil]

Minor update: Chocobo has new sound effects. The sound pack was assembled by Fishfish. The old sounds were a bit jarring, even if they are Chocobo's modern voice.
New sounds are Chocobo's classic voice.

 

[Guil]

Mera has an md3 now. No changes to the addon itself, but the model is in the KMERA.zip file attached to the original post!

You'll wanna add this text to your mdls.dat:

Spoiler: mdls text

MERA KDLC/KMERA.md3 3.8 0.0

 

[Guil]

Minor update! Changes are simple:
MERA: Mera has new WANT and RANK graphics
NIDORINO: Nidorino's A sprites were all shifted one pixel to the right because they were slightly off-center.

 

[Guil]

Guil updated Guil's Characters! (FatRat Pack) with a new update entry:

Introducing another character, Small the Archen! He's an ultra-lightweight.

And he's yet another bird.

Go ahead and check him out!

Guil updated Guil's Characters! (FatRat Pack) with a new update entry:

Visual Improvement Time

Two birds have had some changes! No stat or gameplay changes were made.

SMALL
His signpost sprite was replaced entirely. No longer do you get a lame box and instead get a dramatic leap.

GYSAHL
The shading on his sprites has been adjusted to make other two-toned color palettes look better on him. To compensate, his prefcolor has been changed from Gray to Nickel. Aside from the change in shading, there are no other changes to his sprites.
