* Above stats assume no items are equipped and no skills are unlocked. When placed in a deck with Halloween Beatriz, they form the ' Unknown Snow' team, lowering their AP costs by 10%. Vicky's attacks also possess the ability to lower the strength of her enemies attacks with 3 - however, unlike other debuff units who lower attack strength, Vicky's debuff starts at 20% rather than 10%, meaning that her overall effectiveness is essentially doubled, especially with her special. Enemies killed by this attack turn into snowmen and ice cubes respectively depending on their origin. 4 increases the range and duration of this attack. This attack is capable of deleting most projectiles and also acts as if it was a wall, preventing enemies trapped in it from advancing until it shatters. Her long range attack can target aerial units, much like Julia.Īs her special, she focuses with her 'wand', causing the Sarubia to generate an ice hand in several segments, before crunching and shattering. Parts could be obtained from her limited time Campaign Box Crank.Ī Rebel Army soldier idolizing Beatriz, Vicky rides a customized frozen Nop-03 Sarubia, performing icy attacks with a single wave from her 'wand'. Vicky is a playable unit in Metal Slug Attack, first appearing in the Extra Ops ' Unknown Snow'. Although she's established a position for herself as the army's witch girl, the wand she waves around is a remote control that controls an ice tank and not a magical wand at all.' Hope that all makes sense and maybe helps'A female Rebel Army soldier who worships the Rebel Army's charismatic idol Beatriz, and is now marketing herself as witch girl, 'Magical Vicky'. In your case you don't need to animate firing every weapon into the anims, just make a set of anims with recoil of the hands holding a weapon, then another animated sprite for the weapon itself. This makes sense using a separate sprite not just top and bottom but every limb. Now there is one case it would make sense having everything separate sprites, which is if the bodies 'ragdoll' and have to dynamically interact with collisions. I would stick one sprite sheet of every whole body animation set per character in, and then only use separate sprite for the weapons and stuff, nothing that is the character itself should be split up. Seriously save yourself hassle and keep the characters animations all as one unless you have a darn good reason not too (which if you want to exactly emulate the style of metal slug then I guess that might be a good enough reason I am not intimately familiar with metal slug). As far as running a characters sprite as two (or more) separate sprites, not convenient at all.
