The VG Resource

I got a new icon for Cook, Copy, Crash, Sleep and Mike Kirby.

Any better?

I prefer the old one.

DrShnaps, I noticed a couple of discrepancies in your Capsule J2 sheet, if you'll allow me to point them out:

The sprite in the special effects row (for both blue and green; the first one is the sixth row down), 4th from the left, bends inward in the middle when it should bend outward, forming a circle. I made the same error when I was compiling Jet Kirby. If you switch the middle of either side of the circle, it will be correct.

The ... erm, blue (and green) explosion thing that appears when you slam into a wall at full charge is missing one sprite. There should be a total of four sprites, and only three are displayed there. You can look on my sheet to see what I'm talking about.

I'm going to do Ice Kirby next.

Hi, I am crap.



This was not fun. Like. At all.
...
...

But since I'm such a masochist, hook me up with Beam too. Mirror as well if it's convenient.

EDIT: Oh, that Manaphy guy is doing Beam. ... What's his progress so far, anyway? How long has it been?

Very good, crap!

Ice Kirby's done:



I'll do Plasma Kirby next.

EDIT: Geo, it's been precisely one month ago since Manaphy posted an update on Beam Kirby. Unless he (Manaphy) posts an objection, I'd say Beam Kirby is up for grabs... What do you guys think?

Oh, great, I was waiting for that. Great job.

And i'll juss' PM Manaphy.

Oh, right -- that's a much better idea.

I agree.

Noted and fixed.

Oh, you big baby, that was one of the easier ones. At least you had the cheeks added to the hat sprites to help you figure out how to place it!

You should see this Boss Meta Knight one I'm working on. Now THAT is a pain in the ass. Especially since you can't control him to get good snapshots. Fast little bugger. Makes me glad I wasn't the one that did Galaxa Knight though; I bet he was a REAL bitch.

Anyways, your sprites next to the question mark are part of his jumping/falling animations. Some of the hats have multiples of these sprites to show certain features shaking in the wind as he moves up or down, like the feather on the helmet in my Stone/Ninja sheets. So in other words, the first one should be at the beginning of your 7th row and the second one should be second-to-last in your 8th row.

This is probably just me being anal, but don't you want to include the swimming sprites? He's still blue when he's underwater.

I mean, I can see the logic against not including them, but I guess I'm just picky about being thorough.

I've checked those sprites in-game multiple time, though. When Kirby jumps, there's no hat animation. Same for falling. I don't mind reorganizing the sheet if you want, but...

He'd also have to include Wheelie Rider and Cart poses for the same reason, though. Same for Ninja, which... you did do, and any other powers that have palette swaps.

...So he should prolly do that~

Oh, that's right, that was true for Stone/Ninja too I now recall. But I am pretty sure that is where they were supposed to go; I mean it's pretty obvious. For some reason they left those extra frames out of the final product.

So I guess this is a matter of personal preference.

Indeed I did; I told you I was anal. On that note, though, he could take the ones from my Stone sheet and recolor from them, since I've already removed all the swimming sprites that are used only Normal Kirby on that sheet (i.e. when his mouth is full).

Of course if he just wanted to add a note to his sheet telling people to just recolor the normal sprites with his pallet, that would be good too.

I don't sound like that, do I? xD

Good sir, Galacta Knight was the biggest pain-in-the-ass I've ever ripped. Ever. Body, Shield, Sword, and Wings, all separate -- AND they gave him to me in pieces, and not the kind of pieces you can just change the width in order to align him. I hope I never have to rip another character as hard to rip as Galacta Knight was.

No, I see the sense in that, but then I'd have to increase the size of the sheet, and I already got it all nice and square. I'd definitely include them if the swimming sprites included a hat, I just don't think it's worth the trouble when the job can be done by any average joe (the plumber, of course) with a color replacement program or tool.

EDIT: Aw, fine. I'll add it in later today. You've convinced me. (Wheelie Rider and Cart poses as well.)

While we're on the topic of Meta Knight, you guys got to check this out:



This is Meta Knight's cape as it is thrown off of him at the beginning of battle.

If you look really close at it ... doesn't this just look like someone took the cape from Nightmare in Dream Land and poorly resized it in MSpaint?

Yet this is how the cape actually looks in the game.

Lazy bastards.

Way to go, Hal.

Hey is there really one of those and if there is does it replace the whole sheet or one at a time or what?(also where can i get/download one?)
