My attention span has been all over the place recently, and I've been super indecisive, so I've been struggling to keep anything going with my M.U.G.E.N. project.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting more focused now, though, as I've decided some stuff I was struggling with, so I might be able to post some proper updates on it soon! :—)

For now, have this thing I put together in like two minutes:

(These are the kind of palettes I'm going for with my game... They look pretty good, right? Simplistic and stylised, but still showing the necessary details... I like them, at least.)

I've found a *completely legal* way to play (emulate) Neo Geo Pocket games, which is cool.

Already ripped a sprite from KOF R-2 that isn't on any of the spritesheets, and more are definitely to come 👀

also this is technically the first kof game i've played now??

Zhouping - "Making his way to Zan Evolution Butouden..."

Zhou is his name. He is meant to be a Bruce Lee Archetype for my Fighting Game MUGEN. I thought of making one based on the Jeet Kune Do Style of martial arts since there are a couple who fit within their rights in the Fighting Game Cast. His introduction to my roster... He has relations with another Chinese kung fu girl, Fanhua. They both sparred together in the same realm school. Fanhua was responsible for looking after him since both lost their parents through reasons backstory. Zhouping had a lot to owe her. Both later studied at college since the master had retired. And I just remembered that I had to talk about one thing... How did Zhou get that scar on his body? Since the Fighting Bandit Mafia began running on raids, making a mess out of China, Zhou had a lot to beat up for all the violence and scorn that he was tormented by as a child... He knows, "In the world where the weak cannot survive, only strength can help him prevail. And prevail he did through sheer willpower and training."

I don't have Street Fighter 6, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for Mai regardless... I was already a big fan teehee of her, anyway, but the gameplay trailer and moveset showcase make her look so fun to play (and her new super is neat).

To make up for my lack of posts recently, have a quick thing I made of that casual outfit she wears that everyone's going crazy over:

wasn't bothered to draw a chair lol

Some sprites from my Rocksteady MUGEN character. He's still a work in progress but I plan on finishing him, hopefully sooner rather than later

『The King of Fighters XIII & Skullgirls』Alternate Costumes / Color Separation

One of the interesting aspects of HD fighting game sprites is the ability to recolor characters in more dynamic ways for their alternate costumes/palettes. In the past, games had restrictive color counts because of technical limitations, so that meant a character’s alternate palettes could only use the same number of colors as their default look. 

No longer weighed down by such restrictions, hard drawn 2D fighting games like The King of Fighters XIII and Skullgirls could change up how their alternate palettes were handled. 

Skullgirl's Brian Jun explains the process behind creating these complex alternate costumes over on their official website, if you'd like to learn more. I have to imagine that KOF XIII's designers utilized a similar process of their alternate costumes.

The first time I ever noticed this sort of technique being used was in the Street Fighter III∶ New Generation. Unlike his default outfit, some of Sean’s alternate costumes have pants that’re differently colored from his tops. Oddly enough, none of the other characters in the Street Fighter III series receive alternate palettes utilizing color separation.

This design technique appears to be pretty popular within the M.U.G.E.N. community and I’m almost positive that they’re responsible for coming up with the term “color separation”.
