Shadowcat Marvel Heroes Conversion
Assigned Number: 76 (clashes at loadscreen and mannequin with White Ranger mod)
FightMove Count: 32
Hello all! Thanks to new methods of animation combining, I have decided to re-release my first mod with a host of new improvements! Shadowcat now plays very differently altogether, and has new effects, animations, and powers, and is altogether a lot more fluid than before. Gone are the clunky extendable combos, which have been replaced with what I have termed
Defensive Combat Moves, which are extra powers that can be activated while blocking.
This elimination of extendable combos, combined with other ideas, has lowered the FightMove count greatly, to 32- down from 47!
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 stunning them, she then phases underneath and reappears to deliver a phasing uppercut. While phased, Shadowcat is immune to damage.
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.
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.
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.
8).
Buddy System- Kitty shares her team-up experience and ninjitsu skills with her team, increasing team DMG and chance for critical hits. She also enters phases upon contact with enemies, shocking enemies with her melee attacks.
9).
Soulsword- Kitty wields the Soulsword, giving her basic attacks that deal energy damage. Due to her comparatively limited experience, only her basic light attack and heavy attack are affected.
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.

1). Astonishing
2). Excalibur
3). Age of Apocalypse
4). Days of Future Past (Movie)
Defensive Combat Moves1).
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.
2).
Claw Slash (Block + Light Attack)- 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.
3).
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.
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.
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.
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.
