The Smash Bros. Project 4.5

Eh, I'll just use that until we get a permanet ZSS. the old one was too stiff. the second one was less stiff, but more noodly, the third one was just completely thrown out of poportion.

[Wes]

I tried my hand at a new Pikachu, because the old one's been bothering me for a while. It looks like Pika, but the colors are horrendous and the body is out of proportion, as well as in an odd position.

[Gold]

Er.. Your Pikachu is.. not that great.

[Wes]

Well, what problems do you see?

[Gold]

The whole general shape just seems so Play-Doughy. Like its a sack of potatoes painted to look like Pikachu or something.

[Wes]

So like he's too pudgy? Alright, I can thin him out a bit then.

[Gold]

Although that is much better it still has the same kinda look. Maybe try meshing the two pikachus together?

[Wes]

Ok, from the bottom row. Left or right?

[Gold]

They both seem to be a step in the right direction. It would depend on how you wanted him to look though. More relaxed I'd say go for the left, but in more of a battle stance I'd say edit the right one some more.
Here's a quick edit I made before I saw this post, as an example of meshing them together, but it looks like your on the right track now.

Edit:

Edit again:

[Koopaul]

Aren't Pikachu's arms closer to his stomach when idle?

[Wes]

Yes, I realized that after making this sprite, and I fixed it in my newest version.

Out of the two in the bottom right corner, left is mine right is your's. I was experimenting with adding legs, so he wouldn't have just feet.

Is Lucario open, and if so, what base should I use?

Could someone answer my question please?

[Wes]

Yes, he is open. You can use the one in the first post from the big sheet or you can try your hand at making a new one. But the current one is fine.

[Fighter The Echidna]

Ok, current one it is, what is the full movelist I need to sprite?

[Wes]

Somewhere in this topic there is a list, I think. But pretty much its every move he has in SSBB
