Anime Battle Royal - Project Lab.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

yeah the turner on is def harder to do. but it still depends on how far out skilled is the spriter to do turners version. to me, yeah she is way hard. .
and since this is an anime style project, its natural i go with anime witchblade. but yo , trusts manga and anime have their own takes on the western world versions of doing things.  for me, i like more the anime but i do well better reading the western comics.  But its no disrespect at all to manga. i have bought some..and lets say this compared to the comic here ways, its on its own level. trust me.

ok lemme clear this up on the Sekirei things. NO it is not Hentai, westerners have a very jaded scope of what hentai can actually mean. Hentai is essenially the equivlant of watchin a porn movie. Sekirei is Harem..., meaning its way less on everything a hentai does. Is mostly, panty shots, breasts , nudity but not naked breast all the whole movie, episode or whatever,  and some booty shots. but the plot usually revolves around one man and several women hence the term Harem . Sekirei is actually labled in 4 forms of how animes are rated/labled cause it contains all 4. which is  Action, Romance, Harem and comedy.There are more but it doesnt apply to them
 thats what its Labeled.  it is not Hentai. , Hentai is Bible Black.  that has Hentai in it.
definetly check around for what ecchi, harem and hentai really means . its deffinetly they are all different in scope.  take like marvel or any of the comics we have come to know and love. the only thing missing is the hentai....or..unless there are indeed porn cartoon mags which is the same reference as hentai. i will say this in all cool Lando fashion man, westerner world views are not the last say so. Nor should they be. everywhere has their own culture, beliefs and how they present what they do. thats japans take on their way of doing things and people lovin it for a loooooong time there in japan and even in other parts of the world that have access to it.  well there ya go bro.

Wow, you know a lot about anime! 
You are Anime Professor!!! 

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

Wow, you know a lot about anime!  
You are Anime Professor!!!  

  i wouldnt say all that man. . i just know some things about anime.  its been over ..wow 28 years worth of anime flowin in my blood really. i watched of the really old old stuff as a kid  but got more into it by the time i was 16. once dragonballz hit the scene , i was hooked. . its good to do research on other things cause it also gives you insight to your own cultural backgrounds and behavoirs.

Lets take for example the characters in our project. i know every kinda move each SHOULD have vs what another creator wants them to have.  i know all the soul eaters moves, sekirei, vash, spike, all of them. its just some will need improvising.  but the thing is, you have the resources from the animes to roll from. Doing the comic like marvel and others are varied. more interpretation and  keep improv is needed if you flow directly from the comics vs what you seen them do in cartoons. like ok take cyclops, the only power he has is his concussive blast. but there are very many ways one could utilize and employ it in mugen. not to say he cant do whatever move but long as it fits the scope of him havin that ability and he can do it.  now with lets say Musubi from sekirei, she is monsterously strong as all sekirei are stronger than humans to begin with but since she is a close combat style she is more like the traditiona ryu.ken. terry bogard type fighters but she has amazing agility to match. she has her signiture moves from the anime and those moves i can roll with , but as far as her standard fighting skills can be such a trmendous blend.  matching speed with highly enhanced strength and agility like say spiderman ish moves. she is acrobatic. So when makin the characters from the game, i want to stick to core foundations but add a lil improv on some.


Being invovled with anime has been part of my life and even my kids lives. my daughter draws chibi characters and reads heavy in maga books. she is going to college in Japan. My son is a heavy terry fan and loves dragonball z.  they growning up on it and love the art and how the action and drama and the romance of certain animes.  we are fans. so as a fan of anime and know some of the backgrounds on the characters i am approaching this game as a fan and part of my own culture i have chosen to follow.  its no different than reading marvel , dc , image comics and being fans of the various capcom and snk franchises. approach it in the same fashion. So i am encouraging this to the peoples working on the project, if you are unfamiliar with the character or characters your spriting, its best to go and resource them first. emulate what you see before improvising. a fan can spot the improvs and can see the emulations. it would be crazy to make Vash a hand to hand fighter, he is a gunslinger at heart so he will fight with his gun. the improv will come how he basic fights and the specials and hypers should emulate more on what he actually does that fans know. that ideaology can also be applied to his basics.  so in all. its best to give solid gameplay based around theuir original core designs and ramp them up a bit in certain areas. thats what Mugen is all about creating from unique ideas. we have been givin a gift for free, so utilize it best as possible   anime rules!!!

I got my better edits of Scar to show off better than the last. Hope he's way more cool than before.





Probably his fighting stance for Mugen I guess. You may think he looks like he's walking but actually is really his stance.

Pimpy, isn't it?

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

PIMPIN PIMPIN Enso!!! you really did him even more justice man.  .

you def on point bro.  and ya made him the cvs look as well. extra f*ckin Tight!   i actually like both looks.  the bottom 2 are indeed the stance he does from the vid i showed you and the others top one is the way he fights in a stances during his first showings. more relaxed, while the others are when he gettin mad serious. Great job enso, cant wait to see some animations frames on him. walk, dash, punches and kicks and so forth,.  oh did you get the gameplay intinerary i sent ya bro. its to clue you in on how the gameplay is gonna flow. courtesy of Mr. Infinite giving me pointers on how to have it setup like in gameplay flow.

[Enso]

Thanks, homie. I frankensprited him too. The top from the characters I frankensprited from was: Terry (jacket and shirt), Rugal (arm), Iori (hand and shoes), Ryo (hair), and Yamazaki (as you all know legs and head). I edited the ring on my own.

For the bottom: Kyosuke (jacket, shirt, arms and hands), Ryo (hair), Iori (shoes) and Yamazaki (head and legs).

Yeah. I worked on him though. I'm becoming more interested in spriting Scar so far. I dunno.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

iwow thats some good work ya did too bro
ithink most def you should do scar, you already doing him mad justice so take em all the way bro. He is a bada$$ dude and to have him mugenized would be giving him some much needed life.

[Enso]

Since you have the custom Terry in your sig and Shadaloo has his Bushido Brown in his sig, I'm beginning to think of making it just like those but I don't know how. I can put my char in the sig though. But I don't know where to get the fonts for that title (ABR). Do you think that [Alias] EX can make it?

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

sure man! he makes ours! if you want one Pm him what you want, give him the sprite you want and pics of scar you want and he will hook up the ABR details you tell him. as for the Backgrounds he does, man we let him flow his own style with those bro. he mad genius at that.  so hit him up and he should have ya straight.

[C.R.O.M. - Shadaloo Lives!]

Good job Enso! Shadaloo Approved!

[Enso]

Good job Enso! Shadaloo Approved!

Thanks homie.

I would like to contact with that guy EX whoever you call him. I can't seem to find him to PM. I would like to have a sig of mine. If I can't find him, I can PM you to tell him what I want it to look like. Whatcha think?

[taskmaster0]

  :w00t:Scar is even more cool, just caution with the shading when u do the jacket is very difficult to do this on a char

[Enso]

Yeah. Quite difficult that is for the ring. But for the cross pattern for his jacket, it was easy. I worked my *** off to strive my best.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

you are doing a bangin good job too Enso bro. good work man. Yeah Taskmaster , i was lookin at Scar and the way he done him and i can tell he is definetly some hard work on that jacket and Enso tho is doing great on em doin the jacket too. picked great base for him and workin some cool Enso magic.

[fatalfreak]

  cool works man

Very good megaman edits. Didn`t know that megaman is such a usefull base.

Here the bases i found. I think the girls skirt can be used to frankensprite any base, could be good for Ikkitousen characters. And Ghoost Kick could be used for a Luffy.

cool bases indeed. i already have a cvs style hakufu look already done. but i just need Kanu and Ryofu housen, 2 girls from sekirei cause Mausubi has her look already and as for Luffy i did the sprite but yeah he def could be redone with a ghost kick look for sure. i would have to close his vest tho and make em less buff. but def could work. i plan on using some of dalsim and the other stretch dude from sf3 kinda sprites for moves. luffy is going to have both his gears and moves for hypers. got a sample sprite sheet already to work from. definetly good lookin out on these. now i just need to hook up Maya Natsume and elle ragnu from shadow skill. plan on using Leaona as her base for elle.
have to kinda convert her to the cvs ish look.

so far,. all the sprites for the project look great. guys yall doing great work. I am gonna just edit my Jamin shin guards and i will sprite him along with my editing for hugry wolf terry. try and see if i can get Jamin finished spriting and coded right after terry is done and tested for bugs.

[Enso]

I started planning on spriting Elle Ragu a night before. Also, I watched only a half of episode 1. I thought she would be a Cammy base for it. Speaking of sprite conversion especially KOF to CVS, I totally suck in that one. I always get confused with shadings, resizes, etc. I do understand about shading with the lightsource that's always above. But converting to it from that, is hard for me to do. If there were a complete CVS Leona spritesheet/character, I would easily edit her to Elle.

I think Raiyo's head would def fit for Elle. To me, maybe Leona is a no-no.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

leona is aight, i already tested it out, she has the body shape but yeah the head could be used from the other babe you mentioned. wait a sec.,.. thought you was spriting SCAR??

[Enso]

Of course. I can try to work on two. I'm not sure. I work on Scar as my main for this project. You know. You have a more interesting character you work on than you start working on with another one. Because of his deadly right hand to splat people's heads, this made me feel more interested of him to sprite.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

sure you can have 2 bro. heck ya know i have i am doing myself . .  the first 2 to be completed by me are Hungry Wolf Terry and Jamin. Terry is first up then Jamin, i will try to sprite a lil of Jamin as i go. terry is just mostly editing but i might have to sprite a few moves. Right now i am upping my GFX arts lil skills and trying to make a Terry vs Jamin Animated Gif.

[Enso]

Maybe if I finish with Scar first, probably I can go with Elle.

[C.R.O.M. - Shadaloo Lives!]

Thought I'd try to do some smart pallettes. Any pointers? And don't say "What's up with the fourth one?" because it's a smart pallette.
