Bit Rot

[DragonDePlatino]

First off, let me say I don't expect this character to make it into TFR and I am primarily spriting him for fun. Nevertheless, if I can finish this character, we'll one more TFR-style example and I'll learn a lot along the way! Heck, if I feel like it, I could later turn this guy into a M.U.G.E.N. character. Anyways, here's Bit Rot. He's not a persona or a mascot, but a character I created specifically for TFR. Comments and critiques much appreciated!

DESCRIPTION

A small-time villian of the spriting universe, Bit Rot is a digital imp-like creature with powers over game corruption. He is a highly mischievous character who preys on weaker games, but in recent times has been driven to corrupt more modern games to satisfy his never-ending hunger. His power is derived from old consoles, and thus he has many low-fi attacks inspired by the Vectrex, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, etc. A challenging-to-use character, the hitboxes of his attacks are scattered into pieces which can miss opponents and he generally feels "unresponsive". Despite this, he's a versatile character with different stances and attacks depending on whether he last moved forwards or backwards.
