Super Saiyan Goku vs. Frieza Fourth Form

[Cid_Highwind]

Hi!

So, to start off, I'd like to show off a few sprites I have been working on for these two characters. My favorite fight in Dragon Ball Z just has to be the one between Goku and Frieza. It's so awesome that I'm even taking the time to make them look as accurate to the actual fight (by making them look battle-damaged and with ripped pieces of clothing) as I can. So far, the spritesheets are still a long way to go but for now I'll leave you guys with these sprites I edited.

One is the two facing off, and the other is Frieza kicking Goku in the torso.

Enjoy!




ALSO! If I ever get finished with the spritesheets (I recently found spare time for MUGEN again after all these years!) I would love to have someone program these dudes as characters! Although I am a little picky with some features so you might want to ask me about what I'd like to have in these two characters in private.

Not bad..It maybe just me but i think you should go for a size that complements the details..sb size sprite kind of smashed in..but with that being said they look alright.. on the pants leg where its ripped try to a diminishing line where the light hits.

Yeah, first off pretty much what Newdude said.
For higher detail level, SB edits just don't do.

They are too small to add the wanted details, though you did a good job with these.
You can see the "crammed in effect" on Goku's and Frieza's faces in that kick sprite.
The colors improve the base a lot and makes me wonder why Bandai used such few colors.

Here are some things I think you might want to fix.

Wounds look different in both Frieza's poses, it brings discontinuity.

Frieza's head got 2 extra pixels, I think it's rather annoying.

That "knob" of Frieza's tail looks weird, it doesn't compliment as "sliced off".

For Goku, I can only say his hair looks messy.

lol on that

Aside from that Goku's belt seems to be pillow shaded a tad, and it looks a bit odd.

Not too bad tho. I will always be an SB sprite guy tho no matter what anyone says lol, so keep it up!

The bent leg on the second Goku sprite is a bit funky. Loving the clothes rips and I actually really like the Freeza. Good to see the 100% version. I agree the sliced tail looks a bit funny. And I could be wrong since it's been so long, but I thought Freeza had purple blood? Or was that just Piccolo? Nevertheless I like where you're going with these guys, they almost look like a BYR-><-SB combination of sorts.

Keep it up!

Hey, guys! Sorry for the ultra-late reply, but here I go...

thanewdude07: I appreciate your reply. Personally, SB has always been my favorite spriting style, so it's grown on me for the past decade.

raitei: Got it, will post more updates on these guys soon. Thanks for your reply as well.

@pexteen: I noticed that too, and I have fixed it. Give me a few days to upload the revisions. And good to know you're still an all-SB guy!

@yuunie: Actually, Frieza seems to have a mix of both red AND purple blood. I have never seen Piccolo with red blood; only purple. And thanks, I'm still trying to decide on the concept of having Frieza switch from 100% down to 50% power so he can play faster (IF he ever gets programmed).




P.S. Will a mod please move this thread to the Graphics Board? I am still not sure on whether or not to make these into characters. Maybe in time...

[Cid_Highwind]

I'm waiting...

Sorry about that didn't see the bottom text.

Piccolo's death was too epic
