Alright, a few things:
Thanks for the positive feedback, Pocky and Rocky is one of my favorite SNES games, even though I never played the first japanese one, and even though it seems it's far less Japanesey than I originally thought. o_O Japan fears invasion from European armored birds and vampires.
Two, I'm sorry my +1 rep for Ultimecia made it sound like she was a dude. Your name should have tipped me off, but your avatar is of a character who I think is a dude.. isn't he? xD
Three, even though I just dumped sprites SURPRISE MORE SPRITES!

I finally worked up the courage to assemble Raglan in a way that I think is easy enough to understand... He is a stupidly complex character because he has his unchanging elements that share palette colors with changing elements. So if one was to just change the palette, it would change the WHOLE sprite rather than just the lava parts. Also his arm throws a wrench into it because its outline is included as part of the cycle for dark colors! But it still has only 4 light colors!? ARGH! XD
Ashura took me a while to figure out, until I found out how to rip tiles, and then all became clear. xD I needed to know all the possible directions his fireballs could go, which was complex at first since they home in on Sky. All done though, and I even found a hidden tile under his head! Hurray!
On a final note: ALL SKY BLAZER BOSSES ARE DONE! Maybe in the future I might rip the rest of the Enemies that aren't already on the site, and maybe some of Sky's unripped special attacks. But for now, I'll be doing some other stuff besides Sky Blazer. Maybe I'll finish Pocky and Rocky's bosses. Although I threw in a Xardion boss, I don't know if I'll get to the rest of its bosses yet... They are really easy to rip, but compared to the final boss, the rest are... kinda lame.
Oh, and I think it's no coincidence that two of these new sheets have characters who have BAT WINGS!
