Download Location listed below: As part of creation week, Buyog has released the Hal Jordan remix of Green Lantern with the help of McCready on some sprite work. He has stated there were also a few other minor updates, including AI tweaks, but he did not go into more specifics.

This was already a great character who's look was already nailed down quite well before. The main appearance changes come in the way of changing every single Lantern construct to give it more of a solid light effect. I think McCready did a great job to give the effects a more realistic look. Also, when he's fully powered up, Hal will give off a green aura now. Again, the sounds remain the same, top notch as before, the main change comes in the form of McCready's updated sprites.

The moves were also already among the best and fit the character well, but now they just look more comic accurate as opposed to what Buyog has been quoted as saying that they appeared more like green plastic before. Plus, these moves are very easy to pull off for the most part, something I've been taking advantage of lately.
*Specials*
---------------
- Ring Strike: 3 different ring energy attacks
- Emerald Swordsman: Creates a sword construct for a swing in the air
- Charging Ram: Batting Ram construct for a charge maneuver
- Buzzcut: Anti air move and knockup attack
- Plasma Sphere: Encases the opponent in a green sphere, perfect to follow up with another attack
*Hypers*
-------------
- Soldier of Oa: Blasts numerous construct missiles from a bunker
- Knockout: Giant punch across the screen
- Smackdown: The 1, 2 punch from a pair of boxing glove constructs
- Ring Slinging: Firing a multitude of projectiles
- Emerald Knight: Mounts up on a horse construct for a charging attack

I like this character a lot, but there is problem I have with him. His AI seems a little combo-tastic. I've seen times where he just combos up all of his moves together and the opponent AI doesn't even have a chance to move until he dies. This is also annoying to fight against when that happens. But he's still a great character and there will be more to come as Buyog has said in the readme that the Soldier of Oa move will have more to it, and you know at some point an Amalgam Hyper will be added. I can't wait for those things to happen.
