MFGG Sprite Competitions are Hillarious

[Kitsu]

Though I agree that Peardian's sheet wasn't as good, you have to remember that MFGG isn't a spriting forum. More than likely, the people there like to vote for stuff that is the most easily useful for games, not necessarily the best in other ways. Also, if I'm correct, Peardian has already produced large quantities of other sprites in the same style, meaning that game-makers there can use these sprites along with the others in his collection.

It is somewhat frustrating, but understandable.
