Palleting is only hard once. It's not hard the second, or third, or millionth time you do it.

Spriting is hard or easy depending on what you're trying to do. I mean, if all you want to do is give goku super saiyan hair, it's pretty simple. However if you wanted to turn spiderman into nightstalker you've got far more work ahead of you.

Coding. Meh, depends how you think. It's not really difficult if you don't go over the top however doing good code is at least as time consuming as good sprites.

I'd say spriting is the hardest.
But maybe that's just my obsession with smooth, flowing animations >.<
That and it took me an entire day to think of a regular stance >.>

I haven't tried coding yet though. So who knows...
My signature is also boring.

sprite: practice, practice practice
code: you "got it" or not

sprite:            start: "its easy to do"           finish: "its hard to do"

code:             start: "its hard to do"           finish: "its easy to do"

I have fun coding, I have fun coding a lot.
I have fun spriting, I do not have fun spriting a lot.

Ah well, maybe it just lost the novelty to me, used to edit more. Either way spriting properly is easily more work than coding (poll shows it).

+1

Even though I can't sprite for a shit.

When you know how the programming works. It is easy. Real easy.
Making palettes and such is only hard like the first times (it took some tries for me to get the hang of it, now it is as easy as pie).

I would say that spriting would be the hardest part. Some people just got that graphics thing. Some don't.

Programming is way easier to learn. It is like math, when you first started school. You didn't know anything. After a while, you learned how to use the basic operators (+,-,*,/).
Then you do the advanced math things.

There is where you fail, because sprites can be used in any engine, while coding is native to mugen (in this case). The heart spriter can be estimated in a lot of places that way.

sprites are universal

Fixed. I mean the style depends on your way of thoughts and decisions. If you're brain is crap your work is crap, If your brain is normal your work is normal.

Not true! Haven't you seen those mentally defective people who can paint massive panorama cityscapes, but can't tie their laces or make toast.
