I had to use custom logos to make parts of his tattoo, and those (at least as far as I can tell) can't be made real dark shades for some dumb reason.
Yeah, I don't understand why that happens either. I had a heck of a time trying to match the leather colors I picked for War Mage, and eventually I had to give up and adjust the colors of the CAW itself. I just want to use dark brown, darn it!




SNST: I tweaked Dirk and Jinx slightly (to complete the line on Dirk's helmet) and to differentiate them a little more. They used to have very similar movesets. While I was at it, I gave Dirk a much less embarrassing custom finisher (Dragon Slayer was the first custom finisher I ever made and it really shows; the new one, QTE, is much more dynamic and much better looking). I'll miss the spin-spin-spin-spin-bonk, but not that much!

While I was at it, I also did some minor cosmetic tweaks to Ghost Widow (made the shadows around her eyes a little bigger, and adjusted her footwear because I've never liked how shiny the tall boots were). I also took advantage of the new DLC to sneak the Black Widow into her moveset. I also fixed her embarrassing custom finisher (the second I ever made).

Patch Notes 12/8/2013:
Ghost Widow's Soul Storm power now correctly has Ghost Widow's target spinning around her, rather than the other way around.

Since his tattoo is all one piece that wraps around I had to match everything to the best color I could get in the custom logo. Other option is making everything super bright red, which didn't look good to me either.
I ran into this issue making Gene, I used custom logos for his jacket and it turned out MUCH brighter than I was trying to make...really stupid that it does that.

You can make darker colors in the custom logo maker, but the problem is they're not so much "dark" as they are "faded". So custom logos are usually made better bright and the darker/faded features more for shading.

Oh. Right. That. The custom logo editor in this game is abysmal.

The best I tend to do with that is completely darken the shade and then gradually saturate the color closer to black until I find something good, but this editor still won't let us get a good shade like that much of the time.

[Edit] A workaround that springs to mind is you can attempt to create a non-custom version of the swirl effect by layering a series of circle logos, which would be harder but give you better colors to work with. If you in general fade the reds with him, you could probably get away with using the darker red shade from the custom editor, too.

Fixed Kratos using Cran's idea of multiple circles for the swirl on his shoulder. Has some weird discoloration in the skin-tone parts, but no one will probably see those on the streams.

This is kinda late, seeing I posted Sawk and Throh a bit ago, but gave them their first training match shale we say.

I have a Tag-Team submission, if that's alright.

Kane
Spoiler: click to toggle


and Yuri
Spoiler: click to toggle


from Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert, respectively!


They use the "Brothers of Destruction" intro, for obvious reasons!
Spoiler: click to toggle


They're also pretty fun to watch!
Spoiler: click to toggle


Fun fact: all of Kane's signs are set to KANE, so sometimes six or more of them will pop up!
Spoiler: click to toggle


I agree, Kane.
Spoiler: click to toggle


Yuri is a little too serious.
Spoiler: click to toggle


Per a suggestion, I just corrected Yuri's beard color
Spoiler: click to toggle




Tag Team Submission: The Brotherhood (C'mon. It's already perfect!)
Announcement Name: The Brotherhood
Members: Kane and Yuri
Games: Command and Conquer, Command and Conquer Red Alert
Tag Intro: Brothers of Destruction (with the roles reversed: Kane is Undertaker, Yuri is Kane. Kane brings the light, Yuri brings the fire! Also, Kane plays second fiddle to no one!)
Tag Intro Theme: Hell March 2 (it really can't be anything else)

Individual Info:
Kane:

Ring Announcer Name: Kang
Kane's Entrance Theme: Act on Instinct
Role: Damage Dealer
Commentary Name: Mr. Black
Billed From: Out Of This World

Yuri:
Ring Announcer Name: Yuri
Yuri's Entrance Theme: Brain Freeze works best, but there's always Hell March 2 or even this on a loop!
Role: Submission Specialist
Commentary Name: The Dominator
Billed From: The Former USSR

Edit: VVV Well, I do have some other "Kane" and/or "Yuri"s on my list of characters to try my hand at.
