STAR V.S. RIDGE TROOPA DUEL DISCUSSION-Duel starts today!

[Star]

hit him with a haymaker star!

haha oh man. I laughed so hard at this post. How'd you know I was a countryboy.

I'd say to do Smithy, mostly because I'm curious to how the attacks would look.

Actually, I'm not even sure how he really attacks. The only thing I know(after looking at the sheet for a little while at TSR)that his head transforms into stuff like a tank. I got a good idea on how to make a transformation animation though.

I don't know these characters, but do someone big.
Ridge's is ok, I guess, but I know Star could do better.
OOPS WHAT'S THAT? PRESSURE?
You don't say.

adoanfa NOW THERE'S EVEN MORE PRESSURE!
Thanks! jk. I have never been this pumped up for a duel ever. And lucky me, I am off for the weekend tomorrow.

1 more day 'til duel.

[Star]

I'm sorry Looks like you're gonna have to miss out.
People were buying them like crazy.

[Crazy Koopa]

Smithy you say?
Technically, he has no overworld for his Second Form, since he turns into that between the end of the first fight and before the second fight, not overworld, so you'd have to make his Overworld based off his Santa Claus First form. Other than that, you can make one if you want, but it'll be a bit boring since he doesn't do much... (Yes, I play SMRPG too much.)

[Shroob2]

Smithy seems to... I dunno... bland. All he really does is change face (literally).

[Star]

Thank you for the info, Crazy Koopa.
And If do I end up making Smithy instead of Dino Pirahna(who got alot of votes at MFGG), I'll be sure to put "life" into him. With the right imagination, he won't be bland at all. ;D
I would explain more but I don't want to spoil the ideas that I have yet for Smithy(got some ideas for Dino Pirahna too.. if I decide to do him). All will be revealed tomorrow.

Smithy had a lot going on. Hammer hand, gun hand, crazy spells...
He didn't move though. But he does have feet, which means he COULD.

One more thing Ridge. If you're really planning to make Cortez, you can make his different skeletal forms in battle and his face in the overworld. For other bosses that you're choosing to make, I recommend that you choose Hooktail, Bonetail, or Zombone because dragons are legendary.

Wait... Wait. I don't have the same advantage you do, Star. You know, those two days off tomorrow and Friday? I'm in school. Two days spriting for you = two days of school for me. Makes a HUGE dif.

If this is really the case, then... IMO, it's fair if the date is at least moved to Friday. I most likely won't be able to sprite a single thing tomorrow either, I'm crammed with schoolwork until the weekend.

As far as what I'm going to sprite... I'm second-guessing myself. As I said I want to sprite Macho, but I'm fairly certain I won't win if I choose him. I need someone with detail, yet limited rotations. And, unfortunately, despite the fact that he might look amazing Cortez would be mostly rotations.

In other words, I'm stumped.

Hmm... Mr L and Big Bro?

[Star]

Thank you so much on that list on spells. It helps out alot.

Oh yeah! I forgot, other schools have to go 5 days a week. X_x My bad and my sincere apologizes! You are right, it should be moved to Friday. I've been having like 3 subjects a day for homework this week so I know how you feel with the homework cramming in.

As for what to sprite..I wish I could help you out on that but I'm bust reading this book for English at the moment. I'll try to come up with a list of complex characters(like Cortez) for you to sprite tomorrow. Don't stress yourself out too much on this. Also just so you know, Cortez is possible to make without rotations if you still want to do him.

If that list there^ doesn't help, you can go to these sites and hopefully find an idea on what to sprite:

If you still don't have an idea by Friday, I can always back up the start of the duel. It doesn't matter to me, I just want you to know what you'll be spriting without being stressed about it.

[Crazy Koopa]

I'd say this place is better.

[megamario1234]

Bonetail might be a good choice in this kind of picture in detail.

Maybe Wracktail in this picture.
