[JURI] SF4 Characters as SF3 Sprites

steamboy33 · 06-15-2009, 11:34 PM

Hey everyone, I made some SF4 characters in the SF3 style.
The Gouken one I posted on another thread as an April Fool's joke, but I started making more so I thought I'd start a new thread, enjoy~

*update* Tweaked the Juri sprite a bit, fixed her foot so she's standing flat (makes her height relation better too). Gave her a more evil facial expression and tweaked the pants color.

*update* Added Juri! With all this SSF4 hype, I couldn't help but make her. I was waiting to find her idle pose screenshot, but I couldn't get a high res one, so i based it off her idling on the monitor in the background of the Gamespot Ono interview.

I think I might have made her a tad tall, and I didn't have any current SF4 character to compare the size to. Anyway her pose is kinda hard to judge height from. I might adjust this later on.

Since a lot of people have been asking similar questions, here's a short FAQ:

What program do you use?
I use Photoshop for everything. I learned the basics from this awesome tutorial: Derek Yu's Pixel Tutorial and also zweifuss.com for SF3 sprite reference.

Can I use your sprite for__________
Please feel free to use any of these sprites for anything you want.

Please make [character]
I'm not really interested in making any characters who already appeared as an Alpha style sprite, other than alternate costumes.

Ah, I thought I seen this before.

If you're really planning on making some more, I wish you luck. These turned out fierce.

Wow! Excellent

fire.tisane · 06-16-2009, 06:50 AM

Very pro dude! They fit right in with the other characters. They're looking about the right size as well. Very very good job.

Lolerskates · 06-16-2009, 10:10 AM

As mentioned in the older thread, you've got that SFIII sprite style downpat. The newer Rufus one is yet another example which shows it.

Can't wait for the rest.

djhbrd · 06-16-2009, 11:00 AM

Beastly. You know someone is going to bring out a patch with all the new SF4 characters for MUGEN or something.

LulzWorthy · 06-16-2009, 11:27 AM

Excellent job on the sprites.

Daigo Jr · 06-16-2009, 12:27 PM

Too good man... I wish you luck on doing others... I know these take a billion years to make.

gouken is beast there. i also hate you for being so good at it. the color scheme is very sf3. sf3 for some reason is still my fave in the series.

i saw a sf2 rufus before but this is another detail of work. you should try to do a standing animation for your fave fighter. thatd be cool to see

Bland_Wolf · 06-16-2009, 03:51 PM

this is simple E-L-I-T-E!!!

Bigboss · 06-16-2009, 04:53 PM

Sprite animation is no joke when it comes to the solid amount of mind numbing work it takes... Would be fun to get a complete set of the 'missing' characters from SF3 and crank up that roster though. I really like the color palette used in both of these- Gouken especially looks like he belongs.

Qancer · 06-16-2009, 04:59 PM

great job. looks amazing man

eltwopee · 06-16-2009, 05:40 PM

wow sexy!

Hi. ;)

Still not happy with it though, I'm still making a few changes.

--

Back onto the OP,

I like them both, though, Rufus seems a bit off on the color and shading, but only when compared to Yang. His pallete bugs me the most because of the fact that he has a lot of large spots that are one color. It's hard to avoid this though, I learned that making Rufus in SF2 style.

I think the outlines seem little too boldly done on the darker areas (black on Rufus, grey tunic on Gouken), and doesn't match the original style and pops out too much giving it that cartoony look instead of a 3D-esque style. Rufus' outfit seems to depend too much on outline as well.

Facework and framework is definitely excellent though.

I have a whole flash drive of completely incomplete animation sheets. It takes me about a month to perfect a 2/8-bit sheet, and even longer for 16-bit (I've only ever completed one). I don't think a 32 bit sheet would be possible for me to complete within my lifetime unless I dedicate myself to it for a year or two.

Oh my god these are beautiful. I would love to see Rufus doing a dive kick in the 3s engine. You should seriously send these to the Capcom blog or Ono or something.

Bigboss · 06-16-2009, 06:38 PM

Like I said, animation is no joke. Unless you could somehow compile a team of spriters that can swallow egos and work together to lighten the workload. My Felicia animation is taking yonks due to the higher amount of detail- so much more is noticeable in the HD. I've learned alot just from working on that.

bahn · 06-16-2009, 07:06 PM

I had to pimp these creations on my website, too cool! :)
Keep us posted with your progress!

coco_j · 06-16-2009, 08:26 PM

Amazing. Please do Viper! Also, maybe you should give King Cobra a go?

mikros · 06-17-2009, 04:43 AM

Other than Gouken's left hand, excellent! Great job! (^_^)-b

I'd suggest copypasting someone's hand. With the tons of frames SF3 has there has to be one that fits well.

Mr List · 06-17-2009, 07:34 AM

is gouken really that much larger than akuma?
(i cant remember seeing them together in sf4)
(also they have different dads dont they? lol shoto chav mam)

can you put up those two sprites you made in 500% please?

i want a good look at them.

they are both very good but i would have expected a seth one in the first round up since he would be a mod of urien or gill.

Invalid.Lit.Depot · 06-17-2009, 08:15 AM

Man, those are awesome!
Do viper!

DA GAME · 06-17-2009, 09:11 AM

Those are good.Do C.Viper & Seth

sadick · 06-17-2009, 09:25 AM

Excellent!!!

Great really greally sprite.
