Hello, MFG! I've come to show you my WIP, a full set of CvS-styled sprites for Mario, as he appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.



Spoiler: Completed Animations (click to see content)

His sprites are meant for a 6-button moveset, and I will try to either specify what normals from SSBB will be mapped to which MUGEN normal, or make original animations for them. I would appreciate any suggestions for potential original animations that I could create (for normals, specials, supers, winposes, etc.) I would also appreciate any feedback for the sprites and animations.

These look REALLY good so far -- also, welcome to the site -- but my only issue is... the angle?

The sprites kinda look like Mario's been viewed from a partial bird's-eye angle, as opposed to "right out in front" like a typical CVS sprite.

Thank you so much for trying to produce new custom Mario sprites, really like the warm shading and detail here. I hope these get plenty of use.

Moveset wise so he isn't just another Smash Mario, I would like to suggest use of more zany power ups for some attacks like the Hammer Suit from SMB3, Ice Flower, Double Cherry from 3D World, Builder Mario from Maker 2, or Rock Mario from Galaxy 2. Mario + Rabbids gives him plenty of arm cannons to use as well, and I would like to suggest the Mario & Luigi series as the bros, many special moves and items present a ton of possibility. Mario sports and Party games present a wide variety of possible winpose potential too.

Thank you so much! I believe the angle is like that because the SSBB Mario for MUGEN that I used as a reference likely ripped the sprites from in-game screenshots using the "zoom" function Smash's training mode has, which has an angle similar to that. Because of how much I have done so far, I don't believe that I will change it, so I do apologize that the angle bothers you.

Thank you, too! I like your suggestions and I am trying to plan out how I could work the appearances of Mario's powerups into the moveset. One particular instance of Mario in a fighting game I like that doesn't just copy his Smash moveset is his appearance in Bizarre Fighters, so I could take some inspiration from that.

Quick question, once I get enough sprites made, would you guys be opposed to me releasing a palette template for Mario?

No one can oppose to it! Feel free to post a palete template, you'll surely receive a lot of help from people!

It'll be a bit before I get all the necessary sprites ready for a template, so in the meantime I'll be posting some finished animations.

I'm not sure if I can call Cape's animation finished as it is since I don't have any good references for more end frames

Here's a rough mockup of what Ground Pound looks like, and the EX version is Stone Mario.

I'm really flattered lmao, I've just spent a long time practicing spriting in the CvS style. I was inspired by a lot of people in the community such as CVSNB, as I mentioned before. Thank you and also thank you everyone who's replied to this thread.

I know that the second animation is used with the cape in SSB and could reflect projectiles and what not (or the wavedash/block?), but looking at it on a CVS-themed level it would actually work really well as a counter/parry.

Anywho, awesome sprites & animations.

^ The second one is actually his dodge animation.

For a parry, I think Smash Ultimate is the best reference in that regard. As, if I remember correctly, this is the only game that has exclusive animations for it:

While the shading isn't exactly how I envisioned it, this is such a drastic improvement over the finished Mario spritesheets out there and I'm looking forward to seeing the end result! I was thinking of a Mega Mario cinematic hyper but I'm not sure if that would be too much too sprite.
Hopefully someday I'll be able to make the little puffball on my profile pic.

Thank you so much! To answer your question, I did think about some of Mario's gigantic transformations (ex. Mega Mario, the T. Rex from Odyssey, Giga Cat Mario, etc.), but I decided against them since I thought they would be a bit much to sprite as you said. I am running low on ideas for supers, though, and I would appreciate any ideas I can get.

Sorry about the lack of updates for a while, I haven't had too much time to work on this and I spent a while redrawing the details of a lot of the animations, but things should be more on-track now. I updated every GIF, so the ones I posted in my replies unfortunately broke, but I'll keep a collection of all of them in my first post. Here's two new animations, Mario's forward tilt kick and a mockup of his taunt.

While I don't imagine (what im assuming is) HCL's mario is the easiest frame of reference to build off of, you do a flawless job masking the original lower framerate and resolution with your spritework. Really appealing color and depth here, I can't imagine how long it must take to not only keep the consistency of the original brawl frames but with your paintovers and the new details those introduce. This is absolute eyecandy. Really appreciate the addition of new attacks like the tanooki tail as well. Cannot wait to see where this goes even if just for fun!
