As a side note, Women of War was built off of a Guardian Heroes mod instead of any of the ROD mods.

I have played this game for a while, and the combat experience is pretty good. I was not disappointed at all
, but there are too few action moves.
Also, the avatar frame, HP, and MP don't look very nice. It is recommended to change to a new avatar frame (including HP, MP)
Thanks!

Don't worry. That version will be in it too.
I just made a rough draft for the players' new HUD. Each one includes MP and HP, but two of them have a special meter along with the two. They look nice but I don't know which HUD would look better for this new mod. But also, it's going to be redesigned to look better for gameplay. I haven't decided on the color of the lifebar box yet.
1. This HUD consists of HP, MP, and SP. The dark red bar above the blue bar and the three circles is a life bar or HP. The HP is depleted like the regular depletion from right to left when it reaches to 0. The one with three circles represents MP (as three stocks). Each stock is for gaining MP every time a player hits the enemy. When a player gives some hits to enemies, one stock appears. It's like Double Dragon when you have life box units, but this one is for MP. The MP has 3 stocks similar to some KOF games that have stocks. When a Super move is used, one stock is depleted. Performing a Hyper move requires three filled stocks. A small blue bar represents SP, which is for using a special move with higher damage. When it's used once, it will deplete to 0, and recharge slowly. But you cannot keep using it when it's charging. Wait for it until it becomes full.
2. Just a life bar and 3 stocks of MP without the covering layer behind.
3. The ten blue units represent MP, and they don't drain from up to down nor right to left. When the MP is 0 or empty, no blue units are showing. You have to attack the enemies with some hits to gain a unit. When a Super is used, it will deplete 3-4 units. A Hyper requires all full 10 units of MP to perform.
4. One small blue bar is not an MP bar. It's an SP bar. Like number 1, any special move with a higher damage is used, but the way it's depleted, it moves all the way from top to bottom. It recharges slowly like number 1. You have to wait for it to charge until it's full.

It's hard to pick cause each is used in different system. You need to specify which system you will be using here, will it use HP, MP and SP? or just HP and MP?

Thanks, Bloodbane. And I'm sorry that I didn't specify much how each system is used.
OK. I think I just explained the following system better. 2 for HP, MP, and SP. The other 2 for only HP and MP. I don't know which one to pick unless there's an alternative (?) different from the following systems I posted.

My opinion about choosing between HP, MP & SP and HP & MP , you need to decide how freespecials and specials are limited in this game.
If you want them to be performed freely, you probably won't need neither MP nor SP.
If you want them to be limited, MP should be enough for both.
If you want each to use different bar, then MP&SP would be needed. If you choose this, you'd need to find good reason why say freespecials cost MP while specials cost SP. A good reason example is MP auto regenerates (MP items are available though) while SP only refills when character is hit/damaged. In this setting, usually specials deal more damage than freespecials and are unblockable.

I updated a few ones, but there will be 2 new stages (with 2 new bosses) that will be added along with the original stages. Despite adding new stages, all of them will be created to match the current screen resolution. Plus, there will be some new enemies on the way. I already came up with one, but others, not yet.
I animated the ocean in stage 1 only.
I will update these later.
At least almost all songs in the music system are done, as well as the animated ocean. (I will post a video of it later.)

Nothing special, but I updated the first China stage by extending the floor size along with the front brick wall. Please don't mind the "Press Start" text over the player's name and score. It will be adjusted later.
Dunno which one is better, but I like the first one most.

There will be more moves from each character for sure.
Anyway, new select screens have already been updated with better looking colors, but they are all in one game, depending on which music you choose.
Before and after (select screens):
Axel Stone's portrait in the select screen was done by AdamsSki, while the grey screen for the red version was done by Heka (gradients) and me (basic lines), based on the old one. Also, the edit of "Shinryu" (Jhun) as a portrait was done by yours truly.

OK, the water in this map is not dynamic, which is a fly in the ointment.

Have you thought about using the version from the game Super Crazy Jam by Wou?

Sprite-wise, maybe, but mechanics-wise, yes. I could use some moves to implement from that version for his moveset, even some basic attacks as his alternate combos. I'll see if that's possible.
Though I haven't shown the video of the stage yet, the water is animated and has now the water effect. There will be a couple of new tidbits which I haven't shown yet.OK, the water in this map is not dynamic, which is a fly in the ointment.
Added the player decorations for each select screen. The number "4" for both green and red is okay. (I don't know what it looks like, so I edited based on the available ones in the screens only.) My edit of the number isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing. Forgot to mention that the portrait of Stone has been improved, fixed by DOA687.

I was working on stage 3-2 with new backgrounds. Still, it's not done, but it's better than nothing. I will add some more decorations for this stage, as well as replacing some old ones for better colors. The disco ball (from the Terminator game) is now animated, thanks to @kimono.
A new 1-up is added for this game, but there will be possible 1-up versions too.

I forgot to talk about that I need help with the idle design choice to pick for Vanessa when I made my last post here. I do like her old 2K version the most since she looks mature to me. I'm not sure, but I can borrow the palette choice from 2K1 or 2K2 if I use the 2K version. XI version looks fine, but I'm not sure. After playing it, it's quite tough to pick. Which version of Vanessa do you guys think would be better for her to be in the game?
I'm planning to use his fighting stances from the KOF series for a fighting stance switch like Hwoarang, I guess. Plus, I read in the wiki that he does certain stances depending on certain situations, but I don't know. However, I don't know which version of Kim I should go with for the third stance. It could be 2K2/3, XI, or NGBC. I seem to like his XI version most since his face looks close to both 96-98 and 99-2K1.
Should I make a thread for each character I need help on (specifically Vanessa and Kim)?
