Description
The beloved caravel of the Straw Hat Pirates, sailing on a voyage that spanned from the East Blue and into the treacherous waters of the Grand Line. An iconic set piece from the One Piece manga.

Stage Info

A pirate ship with a tall figure head that serves as both a wall and "cliff" on the leftmost part of the stage. A decline is placed in the middle of the stage and has two small spots that are hidden by the foreground. The rightmost part of the stage is blocked by a small wall for the back rails of the ship, and also houses a platform on top of the meeting room. At the top of the stage lies another platform atop the mast.

Basic Mode: Based on Oda's color scheme (Manga)
Aether Mode: Based on Toei's color scheme (Anime)

Music: We Are! (Instrumental Version)

Ramble

Finally have half of my OP project finished! I'm uploading it now as a standalone stage, but you could consider this the home stage for the Luffy mod I'm currently working on.

This is probably the most fun I've had working on a mod so far and I really like how the stage came out for the most part. To be real I am a liittle iffy on how the jolly roger (the skull on the flag) looks and the jaggy lines for the sail ropes do stand out but... I'm happy with how it turned out!

Thankfully I already made a stage like Kame House earlier so I was able to reuse the ocean animation from there rather than worrying about having to make one from scratch. The wave in the foreground was still a challenge though. I was considering just giving up on it and just leaving it as is, but it just wouldn't look right. The wave animation isn't the smoothest, but I did try, and I think that's what matters in the end.

Been slowly edging away at my Luffy mod for a while, just getting small bits here and there until I can really start working on it during winter break. Mostly just done rescaled/edited sprites from existing sheet for the moves that fall in line with my planned moveset doc, but I've started doing the animations for a couple attacks that weren't on the sheet as well. Still ain't the best with animation, but I think working on projects for stuff I'm actually passionate about is the best way to go about learning these things. Just gotta push through.

I can't guarantee it'll turn out super good like all the cool stuff that's been released on the workshop these past few years but I'll try my best. Already this part of the overall project done, just gotta take care of finishing Luff now.

also writing this now i just realized i was supposed to sneak guadua in the screenshots as a pandaman reference but i completely forgot!!

oh well

ps: ALWAYS name your layers something you'll actually recognize and NEVER work on the same part of an image on multiple layers without keeping track. i went insane because of this.

ps 2 (5.29.2023):
a crusade port of this stage was made by WaluigiDX [gamebanana.com]!! check it out here: https://gamebanana.com/mods/446516

@CloudStrifeHero Sorry for the late response! Yeah I'm totally fine with that, let me know when it gets made :0

Hi, just a small question. Would it be alright for a friend of mine to make a stage with the assets of this one for Super Smash Bros. Crusade? Credits would be given obviously.

@FungusUngas By the top of the mast, do you mean above the platform that's already there? If so, I think that's the one spot I'd keep without the transparent effects. It's short enough for the players to still be visible and I think it's fun being able to crouch inside it haha. You're definitely right about the rails though, no need to lower them if I'm able to implement the transparency system.

If you could bake the top of the mast a platform it would work perfect. And you're right semi-transparent would be way better than invisible. You probably don't need to lower the rails if you can make it transparent.
