What's the hardest part of creating a character for u?

[verz36]

Hi all, I was thinking about maybe all the spriters want to share and talk about when you are creating a character, whats the part that gives you more trouble or that u hate because of this..

 so ill start by saying for me there are some. the get hits are something I totally dislike doing. about parts of characters I have to say that I hate spritting hair, I totally suck at this. and last but not least, the hands.

 I hope to hear some of you guys out there.

well for me the hardest part of making a character is to come up with an concept,base to put it together to make it match with it

but the main part of making of character is customizing it
there so many ways of customizing a character and thats drawing it
like the body,weapons,effects,movement,face,hair or the outfit of the base

so no matter the possibilities of spiriting a mugen character i always love a challenge 

[logansam]

i agree with you the get hits...

[dev.]

Capes. I had nightmares with capes.

[Xfields]

small parts, like hands and foots...argh

[laspacho]

The running frames always piss me off.  The get hits are just boring to do, but those would be next for me.

[Silverzero]

Still developing my ryu edit seen in my signature. So far it's working but there is only one pallete! So, entire project has been tough.

[DEMONKAI]

For me at one point it was shading of colors. takes me a few times to get it right.

The get hits are just tedious, not really hard to do at all for me.
It's the advanced coding that makes mah brain hurt sometimes... XDD

[Cyanide]

Get hits are actually pretty simple. Click, clone, clone, increment one number axis head, axis midsection. Nothing special. The hitboxes for them are just as easy as it should be in most games the same clsn2's as your stand/crouch/air sprites. Timing them out can sometimes be awkward

Accurate clsn's are BORING. This is the dullest aspect for me. When i was making them up it was fine. But doing them accurately is amazingly dull. Both because you need the captured sprite with said clsns, and the regular one. Even with JZ's new script it's going to be a bit of a pain (i need to try this as Q.Bee might become slightly easier to manage if somethign else does the clsn's for me to some extent.)

Basic attacks

I agree, making a good set of gethit animations is really a pain.

[Arkady]

For me its not the spriting, its the adding new edited sprites back into the character the cropping, adding same color pallete, and converting it to the format for the game.
that's the killer for me, its fine to sprite something, all sprites are the same to me, just having to add them one by one, urrgh....
even worse if the colors used on sheet dont match, can take a very long time to organize

and also shared sprites.......i hate shared sprites, that stupid tick box

Coding Get hit and custom throws

I don't know yet, but I'm about to give creating characters a try.

You should give it a whirl and see how you do. And Congrats on your spot light shine at Shoryuken. A co worker brought it to my attention. he says "hey I know you into Mugen but some guy made a cool Darkstalkers soundtrack".....im like,,,hmmm I wonder who that is? Get home and check and its wizzy of course

What? Shoryuken noticed the OST?!

[mon-el]

For me, it was the air Combos. Those would just be the biggest pain to edit vs just finding some pose for attacking while you're on the ground. Plus trying to find good combinations of sprites to frankensprite to get into that attack for the air combo you want.

The other thing was female character's hair. No thank you. As much as I would like to make a Powergirl of my own, I wont do it cause of the hair.    Too much work.

[DEMONKAI]

Yeah man I thought that was crazy cool. That d@mn sure should push you to stay at it! Honestly seeing that was about as cool as seeing at the time (I think) one of Acey's characters in screw attack videos and Balthzar & Cybaster Dbz chars getting love from I think it was Evo and Shoryuken

[Acey]

Congrats Wizzy!

[verz36]

congratz wizzy....

 now on topic, its cool to know how all of you feel about this topic.. I think its great information and it shows that we all got different issues when creating characters.

[imperador]

Hardest thing?

Well...

... Coding throws, drawing the hyper portraits and adjusting damages

Honestly the hardest part is basically adding FX and fixing these in air

Anything that has to do with coding is complicated. I see most of the creators these days do coding or spriting. There are just a few who do both.

[WizzyWhipitWonderful]

Hopefully I can get the hang of coding because I'm about to start creating characters for DS VS SF; even though coding looks like a LOT to remember.

Yeah....I don't think I'm cut out for character creation.
