If you have a lot of HiRes characters, here's a patch to make them look better in the Vs. screen.

Are there more icons for the categories?  Cause if not, you might wanna make more, or at least give the dimensions for the icons.

Yeah, there's quite a few more included with the SP, along with a couple templates to make your own.

The select screen looks pretty neat. The versus and victory screen are kinda bland though. And judging by the screenshots, you have cropped fx in (Upper right corner in Ryu's victory quotes screen)

I'm gonna update the VS and victory screens, I kinda rushed when I made them.  That cropped background picture is just in the screenshot, my laptop has shitty v-sync.

I just tried making a hi-res character portrait, and it came out pretty good:

You just need to scale the sprite down by 50%.  I probably won't make a 720 or 1080 version.  I was originally gonna do it in 720, but when I scaled up the sprites I was gonna use, they looked shitty.

@ProtomanX
Thanks for the video, man.  Hopefully in the next release, I'll have the lifebars finished.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I'm having a hard time using your template to make win portraits.  I used the .psu one, but since I don't have photoshop, I just used paint to take an image, put the pink line over it, and then crop to fit around the pink line.  That way the image should take up the full screen.  However, when I put these images as 9000,2 nothing shows up.  I tried the same thing in fighter factory for the included juggernaut portrait, and that worked fine, so there must be some error in the way I made them.  What could cause this to happen?

You need to save the portrait as a .pcx file, which you can't do with MSPaint.  I believe GIMP allows you to save as .pcx, which is free.

I actually saved it as a .jpg, then opened up the .jpg with Infranview and saved it as a .pcx.  And it says it is a .pcx file currently, so I dunno...

I think you need to decrease the color depth on your .pcx file to 256 colors.

You shouldn't even save any sprites in JPG at all.
There's always fuzzy compression crap, and it isn't pretty.

Ok, I decreased the colors to 256.  Now the image is showing up just fine, but no matter what I do, I can't get the pink to be the transparent color.  It chooses some random color from from the actual picture to become transparent, even though there's far more pink.  How should I go about setting the pink as the transparent color?

Arrange the pallate in infranview and make the pink color the 256th color in the color table.

Alright, sounds easy enough, but the only thing I seem to be able to do with palettes is swap colors, like one would with the ACT editor in Fighter Factory.  Thus, I can't change the index of colors, and the same regions (the ones I don't want to be transparent) will still be transparent.  Is there something in Infranview I use that isn't the "Edit Palette" menu to arrange the palettes, or am I just doing something wrong and there's some maneuver I'm missing in the Edit Palette menu?

Ok.
Is the very last color of your portrait in Infranview black?

Color 255?
