The VG Resource

With Ton's blessing, I am starting this Sprite Competition!

Super Smash Bros. Newcomers!

The challenge is to make sprites of one of the characters that is new to the 3DS and WiiU versions of Smash Bros.

Character choices include:
Rosalina, Bowser Jr, Greninja, Robin, Lucina, Palutena, Dark Pit, Little Mac, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Shulk, Megaman, Pac-Man, Duck Hunt

SSB sprites have a long and proud history in the spriting community. Partly for this reason I am going to go out on a limb and say edits are permitted, but they better be really good, or people are going to shout at you!

Here's some inspiration to get your creative juices flowing:


The timeframe is just over a month. Last Day to post your sprites is March 29th, and then voting will commence.

Lots of poses and great animations will definitely help your chances of winning!

Oh my god, that banner.

You know how we do.

Holy fuck, those were the days...

Anyway, count me in for sure man

Yeah, I'm in. Sounds fun.

put me in this shit

I'm not sure if I'll have the time to devote myself to something like a sprite sheet, but I'll enjoy seeing whatever you guys cook up for this competition.

Anyway, seeing these sprites takes me back to when I used to browse this place all the time to make sprite comics. It makes me feel like this site is on the right track of reclaiming its original glory!

(Also, we totally forgot about Duck Hunt Dog)

Added!

Hey, afterwards we should totally submit all the sheets onto the main website. I think all the new, quality sheets everybody makes will do the site greatly.

I don't necessarily plan to do him, but I feel Alph should be acceptable.

I'm definitely participating in this competition.

Yea, do alt. costumes count? We should be able to do the Koopalings as well if we want.

But uhh, do our entries have to be entire sprite sheets? I was under the impression that we'd just be making a single really good sprite or something like that, and I also don't think that many people here could make a sheet in a month anyway (due to time and other such things, for me it'd be that and skill)...

Well, I'm already spriting Megaman with the new details added by SSB4. Though I suppose a sprite that started before the competition doesn't count, so I'll have to pick someone else. I just don't know who, cuz Megaman is my favorite!

I'm in, I'll see what I can whup up.
