[MINI EXPANSION] Mega Man 8-bit Halloween! - [RELEASE]

[Dimpsy]

Why are you making a Mega Man edit?

It's just Mega Man

Why does his hand grow in the second firing frame?

Took the Neo Geo sprites for partial reference.

Why are you making a Mega Man edit?

It's just Mega Man

Why is there a second blue stripe on the upper part of his suit in the back facing frames except for in his B5 and C5 frames?

Being consistent.

...I can totally imagine Gemini Man dressed up as Two-Face.

Am I the only one? Yes? Okay.

The Neo Geo sprites are not in the style of Megaman Classic, they use things that 8-bit classic wouldn't. Mega's hand growing there is a motion blur effect.

Being consistent with what? The other frames don't look like they'd have that top blue stripe there for whatever reason, it'd probably be cyan.

Surely you of all people should know that editing Mega Man is not a good idea if you want me to accept something. Not unless one does it incredibly well.

Hmm... I think the idea is that it's Mega Man dressing up as Simon (or whoever it is) rather than trying to be Simon.

[Korby]

I'm aware of the concept. It's still a Mega Man edit.

Cutman is a Mega Man edit.

Bass is a Mega Man edit.

Basslucard is a Bass edit.

Tutankha Pharaohman is a Pharaohman edit.

If anything, your bickering should go directed to how he's just recoloring, not because it's a Mega Man edit. Not even an attempt at adding something that changes a bit of Mega Man's look: just a recolor. Yeah Virtualdude, you should try going with my Rock Belmont design (somewhat different hair, bulky chestplace, maybe a Simon-esque walk cycle?) or SkullCastleVania's Rock Belmont design

Am I the only one? Yes? Okay.

I'm considering doing this one, actually.

EDIT: It's nothing more than a few pixels changed, so nah. I'm seeking ideas, though.

[Korby]

Cutman is a Mega Man edit.

Cutman has enough differences from Megaman's base sprite to be interesting; a completely different idle frame, different head, etc.

I didn't explain well enough earlier. My problems with Mega Man edits are that everyone does them; when they do, they're lazy and don't even try to make it look different from Mega Man so we get to see the same pose over and over; "If I edit Mega Man, it'll be in Mega Man style!;" and[as you've pointed out before] Mega's sprite isn't exactly the best thing ever.

I suppose I'll let Mega Belmont go in mostly because it'd be unreasonable if I didn't, though I'd still prefer the hand to be shrunken on the second firing frame.

The entire purpose of this thread is to edit characters from Mega Man, and I'm talking about editing Mega Man himself, so your Pharaoh Man point doesn't stand.

[MusashiAA]

I suppose I'll let Mega Belmont go in mostly because it'd be unreasonable if I didn't.

That's all I wanted to hear.

Although I would seriously recommend for it to undergo some changes. A new idle stance would be a good idea, a Simon-esque walking animation is kind of the same deal.

Half of the skins I've seen so far on this thread have been mainly just edits of existing characters. I know mine isn't really changing much, but there's not much I could do. I may end up doing a Richter or Trevor design instead. It really just depends on if there's really any true reason for me to do anything.

[Korby]

Yes. One of the points of this IS to edit existing characters.

The problem was that you chose Mega Man.

It doesn't really matter now, either. Just finish what you have.

EDIT: changed wording

[FTX6004]

I'm ALMOST done!

Just a few more sprites I gotta edit/make and I'll be done.

Why din't you took MusashiAA Rock Belmont, he made a better one.

[tsukiyomaru0]

Unless he made Shimon Belmont (AKA.: Simon Wraith or something) from Skullman.

[FTX6004]

You see that, YD? That's a Skull Reaper.

I love those sprites but i want to give up on Tutankha man and instead will i make that awesome FrankenGutsman! Even if thats his name.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Oh wait those weren't skins that were already done?
