Hi Yohandy, Oh, I know. I never said ESP Whoop Ass was anything more than a very very simple game, and that really wasn't my point. I just wanted to point out that reaction time to block the punches in that game is hard and takes practice. I assume here you had to do a fair amount of practicing to get good at avoiding/blocking attacks in Street Fighter as well. I've never played Street Fighter 4 so as a developer it is pretty hard for me to design something based on a style of combat I've never experienced before. This is Philip's problem is well. You are talking about something neither of us have have any personal knowledge or experience with. Other than going out and buying the game and trying it myself I really don't know how exactly to design what you are talking about outside of theory and what we have heard from you. Could you perhaps record a section of game with you playing this, and then have you explaining what is happening? As for myself I'd like to try and add a feature like this to MOTA beta 11, but I'd need some rather specific help and suggestions on this. What sounds would you recommend for each of the enemy creatures. What would the timing be like with the input thread and the enemy AI thread so it would insure the player plenty of time to block, avoid, or counter the enemy attack. How exactly would you block a fireball, lightning bolt, or wolf bite. Sounds to me like those attacks are better avoided than blocked. Just some things to ponder.
Smile.
