What's new (04/18/09):- All chars now have some kind of ending. Everyone that can be dizzied, has received a major bugfix. Other tweaks have been implemented.
Old news: Maria updated.
See changelog_recent.txt for the details, and todo.txt for the To Do list (bugs etc).
Body Blows PC/Amiga Lifebars, 04/18/09
"What more do you want? Transparent hitsparks, huh?!" Doubleres = 4. Notice the [Time] background sprite, scaling has been modified. Stage was made by AMR. The lady on the boat is drinking lemonade
Doubleres = 0.
Yes, yes, it's true, this is a lifebar set modeled after Body Blows. Sounds and fight effects are modified as well. Factory default for these lifebars is Doubleres = 0, but it shouldn't look too bad with Doubleres = 4, but the fonts may appear too small. However, if you use 4, you might want to remember the [Time] and set time background sprite scaling to 0.75,0.75 instead of 1.1. Actually, you just need to comment out one line and uncomment another.
Instructions are included. I have now increased the sound fx volumes a bit.

Zero one: The characters.
The characters are made for WinMugen (but they should work on LinMugen too.) They are in constant development, and may be updated every now and then. Right now, Junior and Max are the most complete & polished of my creations despite the amount of stuff in my "To do" - list... :)
Maria, Body Blows PC/Amiga, 04/18/09:
Maria, v 0.75c. maria.zip
Maria is another charge character. While not necessarily as destructive as Mike, she can be a nasty thorn in the opponent's side. That being said, her gameplay may be tweaked a lot in upcoming versions.
Nik, Body Blows PC/Amiga, 04/18/09:
Nik v. 0.81 download: nik.zip
Features: Original shadow, power bar, a couple of extra moves, hitsounds/sparks, dust effects, artificial intelligence... this is the first version of Nik, one of the original lead characters of Body Blows, and brother (and sprite swap) of Dan! Screenshot #2, displaying the shadow helper(s).
Max, Body Blows PC / UBB, 04/18/09:
Max v 0.86: Download: max.zip
Max! Need I say more. Fast, powerful, devastating powerhouse, the king of Body Blows.
New stuff: Ending added + other fixes!
- Max sports two forms, three modes which decide form selection/switching behaviour and other form-related experimental features. In addition, he has custom dust effects, hitsparks and AI. His second form has two special moves from Ultimate Body Blows. New shadow helper anim. example screenshot: Human vs. CPU
Tekno, Body Blows Galactic, 04/18/09:
Updated: v 0.81: Download: tekno.zip
What's new: The same (as others)... dizzyness tweaked
Tekno is a droid guard from planet Titanica. He can be dizzied. He has a rough-around-the-edges AI, a variety of offensive and defensive moves, and a temper. His strength is the reach of his moves, and weakness is speed.
Junior, Body Blows PC/Amiga, 04/18/09
Version 0.96. Download: junior.zip
What's new:
- The return of bugfix update, vol xxiv
-Some preferences can be set by editing the included config.txt. Dizzy state added + new animations. Adjusted some moves. AI rewrite. Knock opponent down from enough consecutive hits (as in original Body Blows).
Junior is my own favourite of my creations. His gameplay is just the way I want it to be. I find him fun, yet challenging to use against the "big dog" mugen chars. But the gloves are off (pun intended)! Gameplay and especially overall balance testing may be needed. (Reversal moves are too powerful in this version)
Loray, Body Blows PC/Amiga, 04/18/09
Version 0.85c : Download: loray.zip
New: The triumph of a small scale bughunt
The ultimate technical breakthrough is the dreaded BananaJelly Animation System, which enables unique animations for asymmetric characters (like Loray), depending on the direction they are facing! (Actually BananaJelly is "only" a few modifications in common states and so on ;)
Mike, Body Blows PC/Amiga, 04/18/09
V 0.86: Download: mike.zip
What's new: Can you guess it!
Like Junior and Loray, Mike has AI and better quality sounds than when he was initially released. Mike is a charge-type character. The AI will happily show the effectiveness of tornado attacks and followups. His standing strong kick is a cool move.
Zero Two: Mugen STAGE:
This stage is good for impressing your friends! It is ripped from International Karate, C64 version. And it's here for historical reasons, yarly.

Zero Three: A mugen PALETTE !
Palettes for Charlotte, made by Masquer. Screenshot below:
NOTE: Installation instructions included in the zipfile. Tested only with WinMugen. For WinMugen, Charlotte probably needs dos2win treatment to get any alternate palettes to work. Feel free to do anything with these palettes (obvious, innit?).
