TIGRENEGRO

Let me introduce you to the Tigre Negro, the ultimate brazilian Guile edit.
I knew this character was a potential review just by hearing his voice, but we'll talk about it later: let's start with the basic stuff at first.

Some of the required frames have misplaced axis (for a quick example of that, just hit him with a strong attack and you'll see what I'm talking about), and all of his attacks have unlimited attack priorities (no clsn2? :O). Also, he's missing several frames and some anims don't look right (either they're too fast, too slow or they're completely out of place).
About the graphics part, nothing to call home about, except that the edits could be done a lot better than that, and he has palette errors with the newer mugen builds.

Now, let's get with the serious stuff. He's supposed to play MVC, right? Then, explain me why he can combo light attacks into strong attacks, and then into light attacks again, Fierce punch/Roundhouse kick doesn't knock the opponent on the ground during an air combo, and the Air Launcher actually knocks the opponent down. And the show isn't over, people:

-His QCF+2P super is a full attack with non-existent delay, and can be executed 4 times in a row:dead opponent.
-QCF+2K suffers the same syndrome of QCF+2P, and the spark looks ugly. Oh, and weird concept, too.
-His throws could seriously need a Screenbound. Heck, it isn't that hard, if even I learnt to use it. Also, p2 anim looks off on both throws.
-Crazy juggles with his air launcher: D+HP, LPx7 while moving forward = 391 damage.
-Afterimages and palfx don't cease almost everytime.
-QCB+2K is basically useless: 40 damage for a lv2 combo. Either is a combo starter (if so, it isn't stated in the readme), or it doesn't work at all.
-"Optimized" code

[State 190, 1]
type = VarRandom
trigger1 = Time = 0
v = 1
range = 1,2

[State 190, 2]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = var(1) = 1
value = 192

[State 190, 2]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = var(1) = 2
value = 192

(If you don't know what it means, these state controllers set var(1) to a random value between 1 and 2, and in both cases it sends the player into state 192.)
-If you kill an opponent and then execute anything but a normal attack, you'll get the Super Finish screen anyway.
-ALL OF HIS ATTACKS are QCF/QCB + key.
-All of his explod are continously bound to him.
-His crouching attacks can be blocked ONLY WHILE CROUCHING. Can you say EXTRA CHEAPNESS?
-His AI knows all of the character flaws, and uses them at its own advantage. QCF+2P > QCF+2P > QCF+2P > QCB+2P > Crouching Light Punch > Crouching Medium Kick > Flash kick ripoff. Even if you block the first part (that will take something like 300 damage), you'll probably be hit by the combo.
-Eye of the Tiger during the Super Finish screen! :OOOO only, it doesn't stop the BGM.

His voice deserves a paragraph on its own. It looks like a brazileiro recorded his own portoguese voice for this character! :O That'd be good, if the sounds weren't so much messed up. Anyway, it's fun to hear this Guile edited guy screaming "TIGRI BOMBA"!!!
And I'm not going to mention his intro/ending storyboards, as they show him flirting with Rogue and holding Magneto with Cody's head by his neck.

Despite all of this, this character COULD still be decent if correctly fixed. Too bad, because I don't think its author is going to work anymore on a 110% version. And that will rise our score, of course :P


Pros and Cons
+It suggested me a way to fix some of my characters that suffer of some of his problems. O.o
+Eye of the Tiger! :OOO
+His voice. I'd listen at it for ages.
-His voice. I can barely manage to hold the laughs when fighting.
-I don't recall MvC system being that buggy.
-It still looks too much like Guile. "Someone" tried to do a Flash Kick while playing as him.
-110%? 55%.

Overall Score: 10+30 for the voice samples
Something witty to close the review with.
