congrats to [b]Supernova[/b] for making second place, and to everyone else who made runner up in the last comp! anyway, as the title suggests, I'm gonna put you right where last comp left off. in Luigi's Mega Mansion. what this means is it is up to YOU to do the following- [list][*]Sprite 1 Mario character (that [b]ISN'T[/b] Luigi) [s][*]Sprite 1 Ghost from the Mario universe[/s] (disregard) [*]Keep in mind these must be in the style of [b]Mega Man Classic sprites.[/b] Use [url=http://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/mm/megaman.png][b]this sheet[/b][/url] for colors and to check to see if it fits. [*]Make sure it's custom. No edits allowed here, friend. [*]You can use up to [b]6[/b] colors, 3 for the body, and 3 for the face. [*]Here is my sheet just so you have an idea of the style and what to do. [spoiler][img]http://i46.tinypic.com/2isxp2f.png[/img][/spoiler][/list] YOU HAVE ONE WEEK [i][b]GO[/b][/i]

So basically, this competition is pretty much centered around your very huge and complex entry from the last? That's mighty suspicious... and at the same time a bit limiting. You should have picked a vaguer theme.

I don't really think the theme is limiting. you have the choice of [b]every Mario character[/b] (that isn't Luigi) and any ghost in the Mario Universe. [ispoiler]and I swear I won't use anyone's entries for anything, the reason why "NO LUIGI" is because the last comp was "ONLY LUIGI" :V[/ispoiler]

The "Mega Man" style is pretty good enough on it's own, if you ask me.

Hey! You edited Mega Man to make Luigi(or based him on Mega Man's sprites), so now we can't do the same?

[quote="Goombaking123"]Hey! You edited Mega Man to make Luigi(or based him on Mega Man's sprites), so now we can't do the same?[/quote] basing off of things and editing things are two different things. my Luigi was custom, and was vaguely based off of the original Rock sprites. plus, I don't think editing was originally allowed in sprite comps to begin with.

Basing them off of a sprite is different than editing them you know.

Is there a color limit? Y'know with the whole some-systems-only-have-like-three-color-pallettes thing.

[quote="Wiiboy4ever"]What's the color limit? 3?[/quote] It uses NES graphic limits.

[quote="Wiiboy4ever"]What's the color limit? 3?[/quote] in my sheet (and the sheet I gave for an example), the palette allows for 6 (3 for the body, 3 for the face). so up to 6 would be allowed.

Mit, you should post your sheet so people still confused have an idea.

M'kay so people should know that the Nes supports only 4 colors per 8x8 sqaure. 3 colors plus a transparency color. If you guys want more detail I'll be happy to ellaborate.

Ok, I think I have an idea. Hey Mit, would it be okay if instead of a person, I do (a) mansion(s)?

[quote="Goombaking123"]Ok, I think I have an idea. Hey Mit, would it be okay if instead of a person, I do (a) mansion(s)?[/quote] I would make a person first, then a/the mansion(s) just to be safe.

I'm not sure if Rosalina counts as a major Mario character, but I did her anyways :P I will be adding poses and such soon, but for know I am deciding (and can use some advice) if I should use the first or second (the difference is in the head placement). Your opinions and critisism will be appreciated :) [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/custom-sprite/images/0/08/Rosalina_MM_By_Evilyosho.png[/img]

Ehhhhh, I don't know, Mit. This whole competition seems very self gratifying for you, considering we have to use your idea from the last competition. I'd strongly consider reworking the theme, as this is, as I said, rather narsasistic.

I agree with Black Boo, sounds too limited and plus, I'm not really a fan of Megaman. [Sorry megaman fans. :(]

I see no problem with it, it's not based off of his opinion: It's a Mega Man styled theme.
