**Update: 12-08-2009**

Okay...this is going to be my official update section! If, for some reason, I need to make another news post about something else, I'll remake this one so it's the most recent one you see (after the other one has been up for a while).
-------------

Heads up...my part time job has become full time and I'm doing courses online full time (signed up way too late for regular classes at the local college), so things have been slow going. I am making progress, however, so don't fret.

Here's a nice little movie poster for right now:

SF vs DBZ Poster 1

Did you read that right? Four fights? YES! (The very first fight is very Street Fighter-esque, in that it's left and right, not much aerial)That's a lot to do and I have a small space I am supposed to cram it into. Like I said, I'm aiming for some pretty long and detailed fights. I've given some basic choreography to some of my friends (Wyld, DJBjra, Druids-Warcry, and some people not on Newgrounds) in order to help me hunt for music that's a good fit.

I'm working on it, I'm working on it, I'm working on it! My entire time is not always taken up by Call of Duty or Spore...really! Again, when will it be done? When it's finished. Don't worry, it'll be before Diablo III...anything will be done before Diablo III!

Well, I got a clean and updated version of Fighter Factory again, so I'm getting animations I wouldn't normally have, which is great.

On top of that, I have done some custom sprites and Wyldfyre1 has helped by making a few custom poses for Gohan. Honestly, I don't know how you custom sprite guys do it... It's taking me forever to get the animations to look right.

For instance, I couldn't even find an actual animation of Ken running. So, to figure it out, I watched MKvsSF 2 and 3 repeatedly to see how Proxicide did it with Ryu and Akuma. Well, I have a similar result and it looks good!

I'm almost finished with the first "battle". It's not supposed to be long and epic on purpose. Yes, I give an explanation as to why in the story. The battle is very left and right with some alpha counter style moves and super moves, but isn't very long. In short, it's very Street Fighter-esque.
