The Intro-vent Lounge

I have 3 packs (Skeleton and the 2 Character Equipment sets)
But I do not have any money to get the rest.
I'm willing to trade my stuff on my account as payment and a sign of trust.
 
I feel like giving you all a little update about my experience with CaS.

My Strengths:
- I really like experimenting with stickers and special equipment to make new parts of a costume.
My Weaknesses:
- I tend to lack patience in working with detail in general.
- It's difficult for me to come up with original ideas from scratch.


What I decided to do about the game's 50 character slot limit was to always take formula pictures of the characters that I delete for more space. I think it's less work than typing out the formula for a character. At first, I just tried using multiple saves, but it was difficult to work with in some ways. With multiple saves, It felt like too much work to search through several saves looking for a specific character. When I kept formula pictures of the characters, I made a folder for each character on a flash drive. This made my past creations easy to find and remake compared to starting all over with a creation.

I used to be afraid of hard precision work with SC5 Creations, because I used to think that it would be too hard to make the characters again once I ran out of character slots. Now that I keep more formula pictures, I don't mind using special equipment with more precision.

You're doing great, @Retrotator1. You're getting really skilled at using SpecEq for those zany recreations. If I were to suggest an area of improvement, it would be sticker usage, especially those bump mapped ones, like the pocket sticker, to add clothing layers and detail. All you really gotta do is select a pocket sticker, place-by-axis, set location to entire body (for max size), and wrap it around the torso. Then use some patterns and stuff. You can get alot of interesting new shapes by simply maxing out patterns or stickers. I know you love American retro, but you'll probably get better practice off more Soul Calibur-ish (i.e. medieval, fantasy, etc.) recreations. Here's probably the best place to start: http://8wayrun.com/threads/cas-challenge-broquest.11759/
Lotsa character archetypes like the knights, rogues, mages, amazons, etc.
 
@brucege

Thanks
I agree that a lot of possibilities come from using stickers, like when you made the armored Mulan CaS. The stickers have been difficult for me to aim sometimes, but it's probably just a matter of getting used to placing them. As far as making more costumes from other cultures, I'm looking forward to trying it sometime.
 
it feels good to go online and people with mics applaud in amazement when I bring out popular homage creations that no one has done before.

there's this one time I went to a lobby and showed them my south park wizard king cartman, the entire room instantly went live, and my opponent even told me to chill for 1 full round while he walked around me to check out my character.

Yeah It's really fun to play with other fans of a character you've recreated, especially when they fight with creations that go with the creations you have.
 
[rant]Why the H-E Double Hockey Sticks can't we use red as a color for undergarments? What were they thinking? o_O[/rant]
 
@TiraRules
So you're thinking about going back to SCIV? I understand and I do that too sometimes, because I still like the look and feel of SCIV better even though SCV has better character creation features. I still try to keep both games since I've had a lot of fun with things that can only be done in SCV. If I decide to mostly stick with SCIV, then I would probably still use SCV sometimes for characters that are harder to make, and I would set up CPU battles if I want to see them fight. Either way, It's whatever you want to do.
 
SCIV's CaS pieces are much prettier than SCV's. Dynasty Warriors' stuff might be even more so. The problem's that no matter what you do, those games' creations are always beautiful yet low on personality. You just don't have the tools (like stickers and SpecEq) to differentiate your Sexy Knight CaS #1 from your neighbor's Sexy Knight CaS #2. SCV CaS's generally not as pretty, but 'tis much more you.
 
Hey guys,

Been a fan from SCIV's release, I main Nightmare mostly because he was one of the two characters available in SCIV's demo and I played the heck out of the demo until I bought the game, and none of the other characters really interested me besides Starkiller and Algol. Continuing the tradition, I still use Nightmare in SCV and I've dropped Algol because of how nerfed he was.

I love Character creation, as long as I got visual reference, I can make almost any character but I've a real problem with using special equipment, patterns and stickers correctly. Also, I'm looking to trade DLC parts for the Black Knight and White Knight armor on PS3, please let me know if anyone is interested, it just destroys me that I could not access such detailed and useful bits of armor :(
 
Hey everyone! How've you been? It's been awhile since I've been on here or played SCV, but I felt like stopping by to see how you guys are doing. I see that you guys are still making some great looking characters. With CaS, I mostly liked recreating a lot of characters that were either nostalgic or funny to put in a fighting game. I'm not quite as patient with CaS as I used to be, but I still enjoy seeing some creations once in a while. I also just wan to thank you guys for the great times that we've had sharing creations and for what you've taught me.

Hi! This is my first post but im watching over this forum from last sunday because i returned to SCV because of my girlfriend. I love creating characters in general but the thing i like most is recreating characters from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, my favourite manga. I have the xbox 360 version so i cant take screenshots (Namco f u). Here i leave a pic of characters from Jojo's manga.

(From the pic Jotaro Part 4 -> Diego Brando -> DIO Unleashed -> Caesar Anime
mini: Dio Brando Anime -> Okuyasu) (Currently 25 of my 50 character slots are from Jojo's)
The only DLC i have is the school uniform pack.

These are very nicely made. Jojo's got some amazing artwork. Apparently the creator even collaborated with Gucci at some point.

Yeah , i love the evolution of Araki's art style, and yeah , he made some illustrations for Gucci shops, a couple of cover for a fashion magazine i think and even two one shots with Jojo's Characters about Gucci.
