Whoa?? Remastery? About time son!

I am sorry for not having updated this blog in a few months. I've been so busy with alot of other things as well as helping with the current production of monster and My own personal video game, The Upbringing. But I will speak and show progress on that game at another time. Ive been testing the new version of monster for the last few months and while applying changes to Monster, I have stumbled across quite a few things. The japanese audiences believe that monster is rather hard to play. American and canadian players disagree with this fact. The testing of Monster has proven that there are many things about the game that could actually be confusing or hard to understand. well the changes that have been made to monster with in the last few months have made those processes MUCH easier and alot more balanced. Ill list alot of those changes for the people reading this.

*Monster NOW currently has a round timer. This was needed for several reasons:
1: to encourage faster gameplay
2: because the arcades that are currently playing monster will need it for regulation of money.
In everyones opinion the timer was very much needed as matches could take a REALLY long time to finish with proper playing and zoning.

*The Juggling system for monster is very different from what it used to be. Before in monster after you performed a launching move, you would be able to juggle your opponent for a good number of hits and then they would hit the ground forcefully. NOW the game says that the height of your launcher says how many hits your going to land. Further more, There will be NO more relaunch combos based on this new combo system. Makes for quite the interesting change

* All or almost all the character sprites will be redrawn and reanimated by dot rendering. In other words. The characters are getting a graphic overhaul. And to be honest, Its about time hahaha.

* the shift system is slightly different. The shifting technique now requires that you spend super stock. This means that alot of combos that were able to be preformed in the previous version of the game are no longer able to be performed. However opens the doors for new combo possibilities.

Here are a few speculated rumors revolving the patch coming up very soon.

*updated online play system
*possibility of new character/moves
*new GUI and a gave overhaul
*updated stages

All of the above were mentioned by the creator but where not confirmed. Ill probably update this later or completely forget about it.
