Just out of curiousity, have you guys looked into using the
"shafts of light" effect that you've already implemented in the
explosions for the transformations. I just remembered the scenes from the Cell games when Gohan and Cell power up; they kept using a clip of hundreds of shafts of light shooting through clouds.

I was also wondering whether some of the original effects from halflife could be easily picked up and used: the hound-eyes' shockwave effect seems almost tailor-made!

Just a thought. Thanks!

A confession again: I played through HL, although I don't know what a hound-eye is. I guess you are talking about the electric flashes from those electric monsters all through the game... So I think this is perfect for SSj2, you're right!

If you mean the creature that shot bolts of lightning at you,
that's not actually what I meant. That's an interesting idea,
but I think that might be a little effect intensive.
I was actually thinking about the chirping three-legged creatures
that get close to you before hurting you with "sonic" shockwaves.
The expanding concentric ring effect seems like it could be used
for the powerup or transformation animations.

Sorry I was unclear, but thanks for replying.

Well... I know what you mean, but I guess the flashes I spoke of before would be better... But this doesn't matter! It was a great idea in any way, now it depends on the editability of those effects. Maybe they'll do it... If they don't, they'll find something else to make SSj2 look like SSj2 and not SSj1.
