Final Fight ftw!

Don't forget Saturday Night Slam Masters.  And I always thought Guy and Cody were way cooler (and easier to use) than Haggar, but it's dope nonetheless.

Right.  I have the body moving up and down, and the arms moving.  I just didn't lift the legs up like it's running.

Walk Cycle: Remember, Feet don't slide. They lift by bending, straighten out forward, and come back to the ground before falling behind as the other leg does the same. Also, the body moves during walk cycles; When one leg is perpendicular to the ground, the body rises, and when the legs are farthest apart, the body falls. Arms also swing in opposition to the corresponding leg.

I fixed that since posting that animation.  The feet still slide, 'cause it's more of a walk than a jog.  The Dash is for more speed.   

As for the sprite itself, do you really want the chest to be that big? I mean, I guess it's part of the character design, but it really looks cumbersome. Also, the leg hilight could be a bit more thick than 1px, as well as the one on the arm and near shoulder...but not by too much.

Yeah, I should probably fix the highlights, too.  And the big chest is part of the design, as it was originally a giant robot, and that's where the cockpit would've been.  But I'll probably make some massive weapon that drains all the energy in one go that comes from there.  Probably a giant beam.

Mmm...seems like alot of platform spriters seek their legs from oldskool megaman...
Not a bad thing, but there are much more fasionable (and more easily animated) legs out there. But I guess that's a character design as well, as it fits with the bigness of the rest of the character.

Yeah, it comes from that, and from being an adaptation of the giant robot design it was originally.  I've found that giant robots look better, and more physically feasible, when the lower legs and forearms are bigger and sturdier.

Is his far arm going to be holding a weapon?

Right now I have projectile weapons on the near arm (vulcan in the forearm, holding a bazooka, etc.), but when I get to making melee weapons I'll put them in the far arm.

G_Dragon: Nah, that's not my only copy.  I have that, the whole sheet as a .bmp, and I have the object in my Games Factory file. 

Ayavaron: Thanks for the program, it helps. 

Thanks for the pointers, guys.  I'll redo my sheet, and come up with some new sprites soon.
