Not me.

Me neither
He was already added some time ago.
Although I prefer the red/white/blue palette, I like this palette too, but more due to the black pants than the yellow t-shirt.
In an old hack I made I replaced this palette by a full back design.
I believe that for some reason they tried to resemble the Adam palette.

That makes sense. But it would make even more sense if Skate had that color scheme (though his shirt is yellow, he'd just need black pants) or maybe Zan.

Let me rephrase.. I love Axels SoR3 (Adam colors) as his Alt. costume. It's a constant back an forth when I play.

Colorwise, No. Spritewise, yes. Thanks for CajNatalie who pointing this out. I always thought SOR3 using the same spritesheet as BK3, turns out there's subtle differences and I'm leaning to favour the SOR3 one minus the color.

@Kratus Hey buddy, here is a longplay with Mr. X
Some feedback to share - I loved to play as Mr X:
Minor nitpick:
- Perhaps the summoned minions shouldn't appear as duplicates, though it doesn't really impact gameplay.
Points that make more sense:
- I think there could be a distinction between the color palettes of the minions he summons and the level's minions (for instance, having them use slightly darker palettes), as there were times I couldn't tell who was my ally and who was an enemy.
- I know this would require new sprites—and I hope you find help with that—but it would be interesting for Mr. X to have basic attacks other than the one where he strikes with his machine gun, as it gets repetitive over time.

Thanks a lot, buddy
I noticed that you used Zan as cpu partner together with the minions. That was a clever strategy, allowing you to have many different allies at the same time.
Yeah, I will think of a way to differentiate them. Thanks for the suggestion.
I agree, I felt the same during my playthroughs. I will test some drafts I have.

To distinguish between regular enemies and friendly units in enemy form, I believe depicting the enemy as "mind-controlled" balances visual clarity with a retro arcade vibe. Here are a few suggestions for your reference:
- Psychedelic Spiral/Swirl: Render a continuously rotating pink or purple mini-vortex above the enemy's head to show they are brainwashed or dazed.
- Puppet Cross: A miniature puppet control crossbar with dotted lines dangling down to the enemy's head, epitomizing being "manipulated behind the scenes."
- Soulless Eyes: If the palette permits, change the enemy's eyes to blank, dead-fish eyes or glowing, heterochromic eyes.
- Facial Color Tint: If the palette permits, overlay a faint purple or fluorescent green filter on their face to convey an involuntary state of poisoning or "delirium."
Thanks for the suggestions

Hum I think I would go with just a dark palette. The less things on the screen, the better, as it already gets chaotic some times - throwing more things would make things worse, not better.

wow, that is really cool!
I hope you could help Kratus with some basic attacks to improve Mr. X

Looks amazing!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm testing your suggestion of a darker palette using tint effects. It's similar to MK1 alternative palettes.
Amazing! Thanks buddy

Here, I can give you a lot of ideas.
Mr. X strikes me as the type of person who prefers brutal, straight-to-the-point attacks over acrobatic ones, so I’ve listed a few below:
That front kick really suits him, as it’s quite useful. Even in real life—start an argument using that kick as your point, and you'll see you'll get the other person's attention, haha.
or a higher version
Here, he could strike with the weapon like a sledgehammer.
He could strike with his shoulders

I don't know how you do it but it's like you read my mind. Mr. X will have simillar moves of the 3 above. A little bit OOT here, but long long time ago when I'm learning openbor by using @ZVitor MIW game with his permission. I wanted to make Agents of Shield game (You can still see Agent Coulson, Dum Dum Dugan and Mockingbird edits that I made in the recent MIW game). Albeit only Agent Coulson the only completed chars but this something an old WIP of Dum Dum Dugan that I want to incorporate the moveset, mainly his run attack for Mr. X blitz.
