I really enjoyed this character a while ago. I've returned and the blood gauge is gone, and now I'm just confused. Has the character finished development? What's the direction for this character if they're still being worked on?

Hi, I'm uninstalling your mod- not because I think it's unbalanced or anything, I actually think you did a good job. I'm not wild about the theming, but the real issue I have is that everyone I've ever played against who plays it is a baby who quits out when they're losing.

The minimize button was kinda a makeshift solution to one of her issues, and I was busy with other stuff at the time which is why it is the way it is. I plan on changing/reworking Vamp again at some point to fix problems like that whenever I have the free time.

I think I have some ideas I could add/change to make Ire less... "overkill" for lack of a better word.

It took until a friend pointed out that Ire has her own control UI that I even knew it existed, I was wondering why she felt so awkward to use! It being minimized by default with such an inconspicuous [-] button made me never notice it.

I really enjoyed playing as Vamp for the first time, but I have a feeling that BloodStainer might be a bit too powerful. During the fight, I used BloodStainer twice and didn’t get a chance to summon Ire. My friend, who was also playing as Vamp, managed to deploy Ire, but I found that my second use of BloodStainer took away almost their entire health bar. I didn’t really notice Ire’s effect during the fight either. My friend mentioned that they think the balance might have shifted a bit since the blood gauge was removed, which I haven’t experienced yet as I’m new to the game. Overall, though, I had a blast playing this character! :D

she is a bit too good at corner combos

I probably won't bring the blood gauge (or rather the mechanic) back, since the only thing it ever really did was over complicate things, but I agree that she does need something so I'll have to think about it.

Her UI on the other hand is actually bad and I have plans to change it because right now, there is a lot of stuff for Ire's controls that could be simplified and explained better probably.

Same for her moves. I imagine moves like [Callback] and [Torpedo] kind of just appear when they feel like it so I might make some changes to them, or at the very least add an indicator for when you can access those type of moves.

I kind of miss the Blood Gauge. Just having the character unique resource helped them feel special, and I kinda feel like some clarity of UI has been lost since I first played them- don't remember when that was, though.

I've also found it a bit frustrating that sometimes I don't have the move I want available and I don't know why.

try deleting the character cache in the options

if a mod crashes, 99% of the time that button should fix it

anytime i use vampire it crashes how do i fix this?

that's weird... ill look into it because it shouldn't be doing that

I'm not sure if this is a problem on my end only, or I'm misunderstanding a mechanic, but bloodstainer doesn't seem to grab anymore. Really big fan of the update though!

I LOVE VAMPIREEES!!!

okay, I made like a million billion changes to Vamp seeing as she was kind of too much. I am unsure if I overdid it a bit but she had too much hitstun for way too long anyway.

alright, next update i am heavily nerfing both Vamp and Ire's hitstun. They've had too much for too long

vamp update? in this economy?

Not really based on anything in particular, might've gotten inspiration from a few mods tho

im curious if this is based on anything?

it feels like theres not much grappling

I mean it shouldn't but imma look at it anyway

Crashes on 1.9 update, unfortunately.

love this just does too much damage

I'll think about it. I'm currently working on something else at the moment so it might be a while until I update Vamp again

I would like a damage nerf. The damage is a bit too high for my taste. I would like to have longer combos instead of deal half damage with 3 moves

I am enjoying the recent changes to the sword stance.
Very fun to play and fight against.
I just wanted to say I love this character.

I've finally gotten around to fixing [Kamikaze], so it better not act up or else ...
Unfortunately, [Whiplash] (specifically the aerial version) seems to have syncing problems when undoing any move after it sometimes. Should be fine in multiplayer but I'll continue to look for the cause.
I made some cool changes to "sword" stance tho so hopefully that balances it out.

Awesome character, only issue that I've encountered so far is that the game crashes with the move "kamikaze"

Amazing work. Everything is going fine mechanic-wise. There is a new bug though; Sometimes when you check the prediction for Kamikaze, the game fully crashes. Dont know why it does this some times and not others though.

It also looks like Vamp loses All of her moves if she runs out of Blood while Ire is out. It might only be in Sword mode though.

This, is one of the greatest Christmas presents I could have hoped for.

Truly thank you.

How did I miss that?
ok, I think it should be working now

Everything works So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ well.

Except her block. Thats broken now.

Looks like 'Special Order' is broken. Ire isnt attacking at all.

broken in both the balance sense and the bugs sense.

It's like fighting a cowboy and a wizard at the same time, both of which have ninja's mobility.

Had an issue where i lost all attacks except throw and drag as my only ways of doing damage.

@skull
Blood can be obtained by hitting opponents with most melee attacks, this includes sword stance
Using [Reel] after [Whiplash], or grabbing them is also another way to get it

I might add another way to get more in the future

What are the ways to get blood? I always seem to find myself nearly completely out of blood constantly

If you use the sword then, i think it was get knocked down, you'll still be holding the sword in your sprite but be back to base moveset

oh hey the warp they have in their sword stance is insanely overpowered

Was playing this character, and after a bit of a combo ALL OF MY MOVES DISSAPEARED. I HAVE NOTHING, HELP ME. I CAN ONLY GRAB AND DRAG, AS WELL AS THE MOVEMENT HEEEEELLLLPPPP

Her biggest tools were gutted this update. Feels bad.

Good to hear. Honestly the crash problem with Tooltips has made me tempted to make a patch for it, but fixing it in general so you don't need one would probably be preferred.

@The Fouet - Fastball currently doesn't work properly anymore, some update messed with some of Vamp's moveset

@Rukazamkze - ok

@uGuardian - ...whaaaaaa? Okay I'll investigate, thanks for letting me know

Since I'm here again I might as well reveal that I'm working on an update to Vampire right now. Currently I am attempting to fix any crashing issues, making some balance changes, and adding new content to spice Vampire up!

I feel like fastball should normally allow you to throw vamp, but she kinda just falls on the ground.
Also the ui shown for the move is the same as ninja's quickslash. Not too sure what's going on.

can you use the feature that allows you to show the mods you need to run this one cause i feel like a lot of the crashes people talk about are cause because of not having a mod installed

Found what causes the crash, it's having the tooltips mod installed

Will the game crashing upon selecting this character be fixed? The character is super fun to play and has a ton of potential, its a shame I cant play it anymore :(

character so good my brain hurt

Crashes the game on selecting this char

crashes my game when I try to play a match using it (when you click go)
