i would like to personally thank you as someone who's favorite game is OFF for making the 1st playable batter mod. even if a better one is out now, your contribution matters and has kept me coming back to rivals more times than i can count.
please make more mods when you can, you rock at it :gearthumbsup:

man I wish off had more attention

Hey I think mod ain't bad however I wanna make a few changes personally.


1. His Add-Ons

I feel like you need to make it so his Add-Ons appear aside him. However make it so only one of them appear. Like if you choose Alpha for example, then it would appear and the only one that appears. This can help it so you can see The Batter's attacks like his Neutral Special.

2. His Down Air

Honestly his Down Air looks OFF for someone like him. I feel like you should make his Down Air is The Batter striking downwards with his bat. Or with one of his Add-Ons.

Other than that the mod seems fine though it would nice for some of his animations to change like his running animation for exmaple.

YAY I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MADE HIM A FIGHTER!

Is "The Batter Remastered" ever gonna be a thing or is the possible deluxe project dead?

I'm listening to It's Been So Long right now & I clicked on that one picture right when she said that one lyric.

never give up your hope for new off characters boys,
one day...

I actually think the stiff animations add to the charm. The original game was hardly known for its fluid animations. I really like how the add-ons were implemented as well! Overall, this character character stands on its own pretty well while also being a good adaptation of the original character. Great work!
foul vvizard vveed 4 Nov, 2021 @ 3:16am 
Could be a little better animated since he looks very stiff - especially neutral B, for example, in which the add-on sort of translates across the screen at the opponent - but wow, the add-ons system is really interesting. I like how they were implemented. I feel like Side B could have a little more range on top of it. Overall, a surprisingly fast and aggressive character, but he sort of needs to be to make up for his short jab range. Down B makes me grin too hard.

hope we could see some progress on the new off character, i think it was a batter rework last time i heard
Crud Fingermouse 4 Jun, 2021 @ 12:18pm 
Just holding onto hope that someone makes a Bad Batter now
The Blabber 10 May, 2021 @ 6:40pm 
any progress on batter 2?

@The Batter
I find that pretty odd, but I want to say something just for future reference of everyone here. I'm actually going to be making a big overhaul on The Batter! He'll be getting new sprites, more gimmik features, lots of balance changes, and updated compatibility! It also means I won't be updating this version anymore, but I'll still keep this up as a 'legacy' version, after the new Batter is released. I hope I can get everything fixed on release of the 2nd, but there are bound to be things I miss. I have a busy schedule, but I'll work on him whenever I can! I hope for the project to be done in a few months, maybe less if I'm free more often. Anyway, I hope everyone can hold on for a better Batter soon. Sorry about that.

@Bucketman its been a while since i talked about the runes, they still dont work, even after re installing the game and installing it on a new computer.
tsuchinokoballs 16 Dec, 2020 @ 7:10pm 
not that good tbh
Paco 18 Nov, 2020 @ 8:30am 
Neutral B hitbox is huge, and lasts for 24 frames, lingering after the projectile is already gone. Other than that I love this character, and I hope you find the motivation to do more in this game.
The Blabber 30 Sep, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
@Bucketman I just reinstalled him, no runes to be found.
Bucketman  [author] 30 Sep, 2020 @ 2:21pm 
@AshIsReal 2401
Hm? He should have runes. Maybe reinstall him really quick.
The Blabber 30 Sep, 2020 @ 12:42pm 
really wish he had rune support
TheEntirePopulationOfRussia 22 Sep, 2020 @ 9:49pm 
Good to know! Good luck, even though you’ve lost all your data. Thanks for the info.
Bucketman  [author] 22 Sep, 2020 @ 9:41pm 
@TheEntirePopulationOfRussia
I ran into some issues with my computer, and, long story short, most of my data is gone. I was planning to resprite Batter with some fresher animations and a whole new look with more alts and everything but now I guess not. However, I am planning with a friend to make Dedan in the distant future, and if I do the Judge, I might use moves and alts from the fangame HOME.
TheEntirePopulationOfRussia 22 Sep, 2020 @ 6:29pm 
Will you be considering spending your time making fleshed out versions of other Off characters? The judge would be an obvious choice because you get to see his full moveset in game already, and I feel like Dedan would fit well also (even though the bosses lack move variety, improvisation would seem feasible imo). However, since coding and character creation takes a lot of effort and time feel no pressure to work on another character if you don't want to.

@Dors
He's supposed to be a little bit heavier to balance out his high ground speed. Also, if you can use his weight to combo aerials into tilts faster, you can do some pretty cool stuff with him. It's just a learning curve, I guess.
Dors 6 Sep, 2020 @ 8:48pm 
Why are they so heavy? Asking for a friend.

Bucketman  [author] 7 Jul, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
Well, I don't think the Batter would become green or cosplay as Zacharie either. It's just an alt.
Claster 7 Jul, 2020 @ 8:19am 
I agree, Jesus Fetus. In terms of how the character actually works, it makes no sense most of the time.
Desperoni 6 Jul, 2020 @ 12:34pm 
Call me anal, but I don't really think The Batter would believe in trans rights. I'm not sure he would believe in anyone's rights.
sucrose 5 Jul, 2020 @ 6:01pm 
oh, thats a baseball
Dregun 4 Jul, 2020 @ 6:36pm 
Recently a friend recommended me to play OFF. Before that, I had no idea who The Batter was, but now that I know... What an interesting character, thank you for making this.
