Because i was bored and found a Model that uses KoF and Capcom models for upscaling for use with the IEU programhttps://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_DatabaseAnd by the looks of it, this was the same method used to make the original rock howard HD, but only now that the "model" was released.And they needed to edit the sprites to fix it

If you've ever taken a look at shwa's patch for vyn's rock howard using those sprites by an anonymous user on NicoUploader, that's what I mean. The first one out of the bunch is probably the best out of all of them, but I can mainly see this as a tool to help along with that process.

I personally like these ideas and methods. It's almost like you can get a lot of work done, and then "hand draw" the rest of the missing details in.... how did you do this?
it may only serve to improve some effects because with the chars too much detail is lost the sprite would have to be too big or handmade by vectors to make it look good and not programs that do it automatically with filters
Another possibility would be to do 1000 or so handmades and train an AI to do the same. Maybe results could be interesting.

Manga109 uses this method for some images, which are manga covers from many artistsin fact rock's sprites or even that HD Goeniko would fit for itthe wiki link on the OP has the models.imagine MFG creating an AI method for HD sprites for moojin?
This is VERY interesting progress.The best use for mugen development that I can think for this method is having some characters with weird GBA Resolutions, like KOF EX2 or Dragon Ball or Avatar Games, blow them up and scale them back down to a reasonable size compared with other traditional fighting game characters, so they look the proper size. It should work, I like what I see.I mean, aside from faces, which is what I assume everybody is focusing their attention, check this shit out guys:These objects look AMAZING.
