Oooh i really like those.
The bottom one especially. Although i don't think the top one really works, it just looks like he's punching really.

Hrm. X actually has a buster attack that looks like he`s just punching. I assume that Xion is basing his version more on X than the original. Really like the way that little dude shakes it....keep it up

naw, not really. I always thought it'd be cool to have a megaman that sort of "throws" his shots instead of just arm-extended type stuff. Guess I missed the mark. I've never even really played a megaman game all like that. He just never seemed like a very inspired character to me.

Here's my try at it. It's quite an amateurish effort, but I thought I'd stretch my limits beyond what I normally do. The only sprite I'm really happy about is the energy charge, although I do like the sickly tone of the hard hat guy.

Just for clarification, how many colors do i get for my sprite? from the NES restrictions thing i gathered i get 4 palettes of 3 colors? plus 1 alpha? seemed like too much to me, i don't mean to sound like a ditz. i just didn't understand.  :(

Are there any size limits to the sprite?
Lol, im late to this whole thing. i prolly wont post anything, just want to clear myself up on NES. seems like something i should know.

about sprite size:

a 'sprite' is technically an entity of 16x16 (it's not 8, right?) pixels with 3 colours + transparency. For making anything larger than 16x16 sprite-wise, you just tile a bunch of sprites just like you'd tile background elements. Thus, trying to be efficient about sprite size really helps, since the amount of possible visible sprites on-screen is limited (wtf is up with my grammar today?).

About colours, I as well am trying to wrap my head around it, but read the thread carefully and I think you (and me) 'll get it soon enough! LET'S IMPROVING PIXELS!

Actually, it's either 8x8 or 8x16. Awkward, if you ask me, but that's what i see everywhere and that is confirmed by this technical programming reference. So ...

Btw, that document also explains that, despites tiles (on bg) are 8x8, you can only assign a palette to a 16x16 (a SMB block) or 32x32 meta-tile (a SMB pipe) ...
