Truly Keeby is a good idea for an alt.

That doesn't make any sense though; Keeby is exactly the same as Kirby except yellow, and Kirby already has a yellow alternate color choice. All that can be done with Keeby has been done.

I didn't like Kirby so I did something about it.

A lot more in style.

thats much better

YES! best one so far!And why not just give him extra color swaps since he has no different clothes.

Nin you should dotouch ups to all the sprites... Um that's probably asking too much but damnit if anyone should do it, it should be you.

Oh my, I'm quite flattered!

You're wish is my command. I could only fulfill your request in return of such a nice complement.

Nin is awesome at making these sprites.

I second this!
The new kirby looks amazing. The blue in the eyes kinda bother me though..I don't know why. I think it needs a highlight but not by much.

Well, some looks better, but you changed some details.

Kirby's cheeks are pink, not red.
His mouth is a bit higher.
The shape of Nin's' body looks kind of off.
The eyes look a little too rectangular.

Sorry. I'm just picky. It's better than mine, as everyone has said, it's certainly better in many ways.

It seems to resemble the Kirby in the KSS games, more than in the Smash games.

Wow, I over-analyze things too much.

So, I guess I'll take one more attempt, before I work with Nin's, to see if I can do better.

You take too much credit for sprites you make. You choose your sprites over anyone elses. I noticed this when the guys changed Kirby's shoes into Mario's red color in order to minimize the color consumption and you said "it's not the same red though".

Honestly, everything that Kirbyfan pointed out as a problem with Nin's Kirby looks better on Nin's Kirby IMO. The shape is better since Kirbyfan's was kind of pointed on top (but this doesn't matter because he sort of stretches and blobs down during his idle). The mouth is in the same spot, but the cheeks got moved up a pixel. The eyes are almost identical except for a few pixels of dark blue, meaning they are the same shape and not more square. And I couldn't see a difference in the cheeks unless I zoomed in 4x, so I don't think the color change is anything major. Neither looks better or worse to me.

I never said that mine had them any better. I just wanted to point out some things that we missed. When I said, "Details that you changed," it was in comparison to Kirby in Brawl, not my sprite. I'm sorry if there were misinterpretations.

The eyes thing turned out to be a smudge on my computer screen.

Medevenx: Well (though I did use the Mario red after all), I'm just trying to match the original as much as possible. I thought that this would be a good thing, but I guess you oppose. I'll try too.....not make it like....Kirby.....hrmm......I'm very confused at the moment.

The body shape is not what was bugging me, it was how the front hand is shaped and/or positioned. In reference to the hand, which seemed normal at the time (not to say that it isn't, for it may just be me). the body seemed strange. However, when I realized that the hand was what looked awkward (again, it could just be me), the body looked fine.
I put the original hand on & re-shaded it, fixed the other problems that I pointed out, and did some refurnishing.
Here's what I came up with:


I was trying to recreate the outline of the eyes. If you do not like it, I'll change it back.

Far right wins.
