Kairi

[Balthazar]

Hello, I've put SF3 Kairi in Projects, since there's bound to come more stuff your way ^^
SF3 styled shading sure takes a lot of time, so don't expect animations to fly out of my hands as quickly as with GokuZ2, for example.
You've seen this stuff in the Graphics section, now I've added a kick and his stance.
Well, i was struggling with his stance at first , but I think this is alright. I used the custom SF3 Dan as a base and did custom arm positions.
I sure as hell wasn't going to do Ryu's stance for him, and his EX stance was so generic (shared by Blair and C.Jack, for c. sake).
Other bases i had in mind were maybe SF4 Gouken, anyway, I want to hear your opinion about his stance, I think this is manageble
I don't really have plans for 'evil' Kairi of any sorts, I'm basing this Kairi off of EX1+@ Kairi only. You'll have to settle for a white hair palette


stance
Other stuff that is done; 2 more frames for his standing kick, an alternate version of his dive kick sprite (with the left arm streched out and the hand fisted)
and just a bunch of bases for his moves gathered. A great deal will be SF3 Ryu/Ken/Sean/Akuma, CvS Akuma too and probably a whole lot more.
But the last thing I want is to make him a Ryu clone, so I'm gonna do my best in that matter
Any suggestions or questions about Kairi are welcome!

I never did get the opportunity to play does version of street fighter but, your style looks really cool to me. Good luck with your next project man.

You can spriting  

but your Kairi is to big / fat in his entire proportion
can you made a smaler Version and a little Head?

I see Kairi possibly where between  Fei-Long and Ryu & Ken

Spriten is a real German verb? Lol.
Good luck on this Balthazar.

[DOY]

LOL Hidden StormEX you was very fast 

[Diepod]

Good luck with this one, I almost did my character in sf3 spriting but after looking at the number of colors that ended. Do you have a way of getting his model from the game, that might make it easier. Especially with  the number a frames neccessary for the style.

[Jango]

Yeah my only suggestion is to shrink the head just a little bit. Otherwise, it looks great.

[Balthazar]

I guess I can shrink his head a little, I inspected some sf3 sprites and his head should be indeed.
And for Doy, I think he mirrors sf3 style nicely. You've seen them?, they all have huge feet and are very broad, almost fat
Next for me is to animate his stance....jeeej
And to Diepod, you're an awesome spriter and it's too bad you stopped doing sf3 for your char
I wouldn't start on Kairi if i had a deadline, cause now i'm spending over an hour on a single sprite

[MDD]

You could always use Gouki's Alpha Stance since Kairi has the Satsui no Hadou.

This looks nice. We'll finally get a new SFIII character whose sprites don't look like crap. If you ever need palettes, feel free to contact me.

Not usually a fan of shotos, but as I really enjoyed SF EX (don't laugh, I loved it for Skullo and a few others) and I like what you're doing.  The sprites look really great.  Are you basing this on EX1 Kairi or will you have bits of his late appearances included somehow? Either way, keep up the good work man.

[O Ilusionista]

but as I really enjoyed SF EX (don't laugh, I loved it for Skullo and a few others)

I like that game too. Some chars are very nice to play with.

About Kairi, nice work. The sprites are very well done.

[Momotaro]

Impressive WIP.
Really interesting conversion.
Just one bad point: About the body proportions

Try to compare the size to existing SF3 sprites of Shoto characters.
Kairi is not that big... And his head have to be smaller too.

Seriously beside this proportion problem, your spriting method is really cool!!

Try to correct, good luck!!

[Basara Bogard]

I've seen many MUGEN entries about Kairi (almost all from EX2, the white haired one) that never seen the light, but this is promising. I like a lot the spriting you made on him, no matter if the SF3 purists don't like because it's not like they wanted. I hope to play with him in a future, it would be great, good luck with him Balthazar

I've a few questions about him:
-Kairi will have color separation?? I mean, to give him the EX2 look, for example
-Only you made the spriting or also you could code him??

[Balthazar]

Well he ain't THAT big;

I'm going to add darker lines for his chin so his head comes out better,
it might look so big because you can't see the seperation of his head and body that well.
His hair could be a little flatter too perhaps.
The other thing that might make him look fat is the pieces of his pants that come out above his waistband.
The only thing I could make smaller is perhaps his stance, although he is slightly crouched he's still nearly as tall as Akuma.
Same with his power stance, Akuma is on his toes an still Kairi is bigger, but Akuma has his head tucked on his chest...
So just a little smaller lower legs perhaps The other two are fine if I say so myself
Anyways thanks for the comments/suggestions!

Lets be honest, how many came in here initially thinking it was another crappy upscaled conversion of the chick from KH?

[Cybaster]

Impressive spriting, looks even more detailed than Goku.
I've never played SFEX, so I don't really know him (apart from the numerous sprite edits Mugen people have been doing for years now, with more or less success).
Good luck with him, he looks awesome.
