PushPush pushpushThe  pushpush mode  ( or Challenge mode )  it's a feature that you can see in a game called Samurai Spirit ( Samurai Shodown ) created by Snk, in this game when both player make the same attack and this attack collide... the 2 player go in the pushpush state...
The player who push for more time the attack buttons win.. and can hit the enemy ( enemy lost his weampon )
My code isn't exactly the same.. but only redone to work with mugen.

The first version of my code was used by the Hokuto Project .. but after many years.. I thing that's time for a n update.

To make the pushpush mode work we need a starter.. some thing that make all to start....

CNS for your character ( I suggest to you to download my evilsoul and to you as base of your work the player called "cavia" that you will find in the evilsouldark's rar - the file is esppc.cns ).
To avoid the annoying thing to go always in the pushpush mode I decide to use a var to delimit and limit this code.
The attack could be a simple punch or a kick... for this reason the pushpush code is activate only if our var(4) is egual or bigger ( as value ) of 9... in this way our gameplay isn't ruined...
Make attention to the priority... use the same value of this to avoid problems.

To let your character enter to the pushpush mode world, You need:
This file: esppc.cns <- in this file the are all the statedef for the pushpush code....
edit the statedef 280 ( is the starter ).. edit only some thing in the statedef 28000 ( I have quoted the part that you can modify )
And remember that you can redone as you wish the statedef 28003

AIR:

28000 pushpush animation for your character

from 28500 to 28509 are the counter's number

I have created the char "CAVIA" with the finger frames and all the numbers frame to let you start in a easy way

Probabily we will use this code in the Masters Project... but who know eheheh
