Yes, lads. It's not a simple update. It's such an overhaul that he may as well be a completely new character.

After a long wait I've actually done it, at least half-way through (more on that soon). Completely overhauled both in terms of presentation and gameplay, this is a project I've been hoping to do for a really long time but ended up actually starting it at around last summer. There may be few blemishes along the way - especially regarding the spriting - but I hope what I've done shows just how far I have progressed as both a mugen coder and a spriter.
I actually have quite a scope for this project as I've intended this character to have two fighting styles totally not unlike my Possessed Heita, this project was just taking me so long (procastination issues be damned) that I've decided to release the character with the single complete moveset for now, hence the "part I". My work's not done yet, I will in fact continue working on the character so he would have the two movesets like I've initially planned, just hopefully this won't take me that long, much like I hope what I've released for today was worth the long wait. I myself wished the last few years were more productive release-wise, but with life you can't get some things quite you want I'd guess.

Get him at Logical Bends (http://justnopoint.com/lbends/) and stay tuned for a major update that would come in a few months if we'd get lucky.
This forum may be not very active but I'll still bring it anyway

Dink now comes with two movesets as I've planned before. One more themed around magic, one (the one new to this update) more themed around weapons. And while I'll admit that graphicswise few things could use some refinement, at least that way I left some room for a further update down the line (not that major as I did pretty much what I've planned so far as of this update, but few extras when I'd be out to do alongside whatever my next project would be would be nice), not to mention I went so far with the character anyway that I would use some much needed rest and perhaps move on to other things and projects. Who knows, maybe one day I would deliver the one character I've always wanted to do, to the point that my last few original sprited characters I did so far (and perhaps the next few characters I may end up getting sidetracked for) would all lead up to
it (ain't bringing up who that would be yet, but fingers crossed). Whatever the case, big thanks for sticking with me throrough these years.
Around 860-ish sprites in one year.
Man did I went a long way.
