https://www.mediafire.com/file/bqsig0on7lh9bpk/Shadowcat+Mod+3.0.zip/fileHello all! Once again, I have decided to update Shadowcat. In addition to the
Defensive Combat Moves that she had before, she now has a host of other new moves, as I will explain below. Not only is Lockheed a lot more versatile now, but he has brought along his companion, Puff (as she first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #181) and their children (as they appeared in X-Men Gold Vol. 2 #30)!
She also no longer uses fightstyle_shadow, instead using fightstyle_default. In order to keep her powerstyle FightMove count low, she draws upon a new fightstyle, moveset_kitty, for a good portion of her moves. All of these fightstyle changes mean a new herostat in addition to other updates, so be sure to use the herostat provided.
The changes to this mod will require you to overwrite a lot of files and start a new game, so be aware of that! The changes are altogether quite substantial, as you will see below.
Without further ado, an overview:
Her Powers 1).
Non-Corporeal Beatdown- Shadowcat pummels enemies whilst phasing right through them. If surrounded by multiple enemies, Shadowcat phases the ground, causing enemies to falter and be stunned, she then phases underneath and reappears to deliver a phasing uppercut. While phased, Shadowcat is immune to damage. Press Jump at any time during use the AOE ground phase at any time.
2).
Spitballs- Kitty directs Lockheed to shoot an explosive fireball at the target, causing Fire DMG.
3).
Disciplined Strike- Shadowcat uses her katanas to perform a deadly multi-hit sword attack, doing damage over time and increasing critical chance for a time.
4).
Heartbreaker- Kitty phases her hand through foes, giving their heart a squeeze, with a chance for a critical hit. While this attack is being used, Shadowcat is immune to all attacks.
5).
Turn Up The Heat- Lockheed sets enemies ablaze, acting as Kitty’s personal flamethrower.
6).
Shadowcat's Pirouette- Shadowcat uses her dancing skills to perform spin attacks with her katanas, doing damage over time. Press Jump before spinning to execute enemies with
Logan Style, instantly killing foes at the cost of all your energy.
7).
Walking Through Walls- Kitty becomes intangible, allowing enemies and objects to pass through her. Attacking, Jumping, blocking, dodging, and using powers turns Kitty solid again. Once solid, Kitty remains in a partially phased state, gaining knockback immunity, damage reduction, increased dodge rating, and the ability to shock enemies on contact with phased attacks.
8).
Buddy System- Kitty synergizes her attacks with her team and with Lockheed, altering her melee attacks so that her and Lockheed attack in tandem. Also boosts Combo Damage and XP. Press Grab after activating the boost to summon Lockheed's mate, Puff. Press Jump after activating the boost to summon Lockheed and Puff's children. Thanks to BloodyMares for his ideas about this power! Be sure to check out their stuff!
9).
Soulsword- Kitty wields the Soulsword, giving her basic attacks that nullify enemy powers and give energy back to you. Also grants immunity to mind control and fear.
10).
Phased Out - Kitty phases underneath the ground and then pops up all around the battlefield, attacking enemies. She then returns to the center of the battlefield and phases parts of the ground, causing any enemies that falls into those parts to fall through the floor and instantly die, while all others are tripped.

Defensive Combat Moves1).
Watch Your Step (Block + Light Attack)- Kitty pulls enemies under ground and they fall to their deaths, instantly killing them, but draining all of her energy.
2).
Dragon Breath (Block + Heavy Attack)- At Kitty's direction, Lockheed shoots an arc of flame at the ground, doing Fire DMG and leaving a small fire on the ground that burns enemies over time. Upgrading
Turn Up The Heat increases the damage and energy cost of this move.
3).
Lockheed Rush (Block + Grab)- Kitty sends out Lockheed to attack enemies around the battlefield; controls like Cap's SHIELD and can be cancelled out of by blocking, dodging, using light or heavy attacks, and powers. Upgrading
Spitballs increases the damage and energy cost of this move.
4).
Phasing Ninja (Block + Jump)- Kitty phases underneath the ground and appears underneath enemies, bursting through the ground with her katana. The opening of this move counts as a dodge as she phases underground. Upgrading
Shadowcat's Pirouette increases the damage and energy cost of this move.
5).
Bone Claw (Block + Movement)- Kitty uses Wolverine's bone claw that she carried around with her for a time; does a high amount of damage and has chance for critical hit. Upgrading
Disciplined Strike increases the damage and energy cost of this move.
6).
Intangibility- a passive that increases your defense. Upgrading
Non-Corporeal Beatdown increases the amount of defense this passive gives.
7).
Dragon Charge (during Lockheed Rush, press Grab)- direct Lockheed to dart forward at full speed, instantly killing all in his path at the cost of all your energy.
8).
Line of Fire (during Lockheed Rush, press Jump)- Lockheed darts forward while shooting fire, knocking foes back and doing damage over time. Scales with
Spitballs.
Buddy System Attacks1).
Lockheed Combo (Attack x 6)- perform melee attacks in tandem with Lockheed, damaging enemies twice.
2).
Dragon Blast (Smash)- blast foes with fire, slowing them down.
3).
Shadow and Flame (Attack x 3, Smash; also works at any point in the combo unless you do trip or popup)- perform a roundhouse kick while Lockheed blasts with fire.
4).
Come on Down (Attack, Grab; also works at any point during the combo)- phase Lockheed underneath the ground and direct him to attack enemies from below,
5).
Ring of Fire (Attack, Jump; also works at any point during the combo)- Lockheed blasts enemies with fire in a circle while you slash with your katana.
Notes1). No need to have the original Shadowcat mod in order to play. Be sure to overwrite all existing Shadowcat files with these ones in order for the mod to work properly.
2). If you have the ents_shadow.engb file from the old mod, delete it- otherwise this mod will not work properly.
***THIS MOD CONTAINS ALTERNATE WEAPON FIGHTSTYLES (OTHERWISE KITTY WON'T BE ABLE TO USE WEAPONS). BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES WITH THESE ALTERNATE FILES. NOTHING WAS CHANGED ANIMATION-WISE, JUST SOME ADDITIONAL FIGHTMOVE; SHOULD NOT AFFECT OVERALL FM/TRIGGER COUNT, AS THESE ADD FIGHTMOVES WITH ONLY CHAINS, NOT TRIGGERS.*** Known Glitches 1). Due to the nature of her phase script, you may fall through the floor at times, so I would be very careful using it. In my testing I only fell through the floor if I unphased while inside of an object, so don't do that. Otherwise you should hopefully be fine, but I did not test in every single area.
