Link: kagura-v2-1-1

First, Akimoto’s Sesshomaru has been updated. The forum post for this can be found here.

The second news, if you’ve been hanging around on the forums, is that Ricepigeon will soon be releasing a private beta of Kagura soon. This is a separate project from VinceJ’s Kagura, as it will have a different gameplay. Anyone who is interested can view the forums for updates. But for now, some screenshots.

• Future updates will now include tags for specific updates done to Normal Kikyo or Metal Kikyo. If the update affects both, no tag will be denoted.
• Kikyo’s combo limit abolished. It turns out that Kikyo does have a theoretical infinite in the game of origin, not including damage dampening.
• Kikyo’s damage dampening changed to that of Capcom Fighting Jam. Purification is now subject to both this damage dampening as well as the 40% damage decrease from its standalone version.
• Kikyo’s Air Throw now performs wallslam.
• Adjusted some required sprites.
• Purification’s damage slightly decreased. This was a result of Purification now being affected by damage dampening. Alone, the move now deals 95 damage total (instead of 100).
• Hyper Background changed back to blue like in game of origin, but with a modified feel to it. The win portrait background still utilizes the orange background.
• [Normal] Kagome & Inuyasha Double Attack damages increased, & now subject to damage dampening.
• [Normal] Normal Kikyo now gets up almost immediately after hitting the ground when knocked down.
• [Normal] Striker Select screen completely redone. CvS groove select sound added plus character dialog for the selected striker for both english and japanese soundpacks included.
• [Normal] Double Attack mechanics changed. You can select a striker for the Double Attack only during the first round and will carry over between rounds. You can no longer change strikers between rounds. In addition, the Double Attack now uses its own gauge instead of Kikyo’s main power bar. This is mostly an accuracy fix, but it does make the Double Attacks easier to pull off, but can only be used a maximum of 3 consecutive times (As opposed to 6 consecutive times in the older versions).
• [Normal] Win quotes and dialogue box for winquotes changed. The box now resembles that used the Megaman Zero games.
• [Normal] Double Attacks no longer use the Super Special background animation and sound. The screen now fades to black like in the original game, and the character will scream out.
• [Normal] Win portrait changed.
• [Normal] Kagome Double Attack reverted back to the way it was before version 2.2
• [Normal] The camera no longer follows staggering opponents (as a result of Kikyo’s Guard Counter & Double Attacks)
• [Normal] Double Attacks now require a full Team Gauge (3 bars) to be comboed into. Using the move by itself only costs 1 bar.
• [Metal] Metal Kikyo no longer displays winquotes.

In addition, I’ve decided to make Kikyo open source, so do what you want with her.

You can get her here: Kikyo 3.0

As for her anniversary release, these two vids pretty much showcase all the changes and new features.

Here’s the video of it working with the windows version to have online matches.
What is it exactly? A Mugen clone with some added features.
Still waiting for an update, since this was released about a year ago and people still ask for it.

Download: InfinityCat port for the PSP
Developer’s Website: SofiyaCat’s InfinityCat Wiki

The dev’s site has ports of it to other platforms, including the PS3’s Linux.

Lastly, the permission to redistribute, since the site says no redistributing without permission.

Well.. after some playing around I managed to migrate it to my piiym-net space,
I wonder if it’ll be as active, as it used to be, joy another place to frequent.
Inuyasha MUGEN fans unite!  :p

Well, you can thank DMK and Pureplayas, mostly and of course,
the random people that keep typing “lazy dog creations forum” as search terms in google.
I see all that.

It’s up and running here: http://vincej.piiym-net.com/bbs/ 
So it’s sharing the database with this blog, I hope nothing breaks,
since I don’t really know much about SQL stuff.
Enjoy.

PS. There may be some broken image/file links, which I’ll fix as I find them.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!
I wonder what everyone is going to receive.
(Feel free to share comments about that.)

If I get anything cool, I will be sure to post pics.
Also, those who visit the LDC forum, I am pretty much thinking of shutting it down.
Yeah, I went back on my word, sorry guys.
I see some of you on Randomselect’s and Guild’s forums, anyway.
If there’s someway to merge that database with wordpress, that’d be awesome,
that way you don’t lose your accounts.

Also, a new forum opened up here on PIIYM-NET, I’ll be co-admining.
Click on the HIGHER END GFX button on the right to visit it. (LOL @ plugging)

And with that.. I wish you guys a happy holiday and a Happy New year.

PS.
Who knows if I’ll get anything Mugen-related done in time for Christmas.
I live up to my MASTER PROCRASTINATOR title, yet again.

Edit: Snow removed.

I will try to post a bit more, if possible

Edit:
I hate myself for forgetting to post this, but my American Eskimo Dog, named “Snowball” passed away this past Friday.
He was 10 years old or so, we had him for about 8 years.
It would be wrong not to mention him, since this site is named after him.
Never forget the “Lazy Dog”, he truly was man’s best friend.

I still instinctively look for him at times, until I realize what I am doing.
I cannot believe he is gone.

Until next post.

Which brings up the grand total to 33 stages!

GO GO GO!

Download: Kakuge-Yaro Stages

Edit:
RAR’ed KY stages as a stagepack, for those who just want them all and are not picky.
If you are, they can be downloaded individually, as well.

Also, Anyone can comment now, registration not required, because this place seems dead without comments.
