Category/Groove/Style select alongside the character select screen. Or just the ability to have a different roster depending on the mode you choose from the main menu.

Hello! :)

For background sprites that use the xscale type parallax, could there be a option to render their Y-axis in a way that keep the pixels within a square shape, and don't get stretched diagonally when displayed at a higher resolution?



It could be sorta like in this visual example; where the 1st instance of every pixel row simply carries over the same X-axis value until the next row is rendered - so if the floor sprite is being displayed at 3x it's original height, only once in every 3 rows of pixels the calculation for the parallax code would be updated.


While it's a small concept, I think a feature like this would improve drastically the look of low-res stages that use the xscale parallax.

I dunno if it was intentional or not, but you just ended up "reverse engineering" one of the cover art references from the amazing Worlds Collide comic series, haha. ;D

Also, you absolutely nailed on the 90's Capcom art style. All those sprites look just perfect. :datass:

Remember when SNK gave us a slight of hope in seeing perhaps one of the Metal Slug protagonists as a potential playable character in the game? (since none of them are present in the dedicated Metal Slug stage?)

At this point it really seems they just forgot to give enough fucks to that setup - so nowadays neither of them have a chance to show up on-screen at all. Tragic.

I mean, the models were tweaked enough (compare the details on Terry's jacket or his face, for example) to not look exactly the same. The game is also going for a unique semi cel-shading style, different from XV.

Models in this game are different from XV, as much as SF x Tekken models were different from SFIV.


I do expect a story mode that takes place after Mark of the Wolves and might see those characters from that canceled* (more like postponed) Neo-geo sequel along with brand new characters.

Watch as the story actually ties in to the newest KOF timeline, just to have a excuse to de-age Mai and the AoF crew once again...! :pwn::goi:

thank you for the detail explanation, i was only aware before of aspect ratio 4:3 and square one 1: 1, not knowing the other

You're welcome. :)
Guess I should also add that the "old console" aspect ratio from that picture is technically the "true" 4:3 resolution and thus the intended aspect ratio, since the games back then were designed to be displayed on a standard 240p CRT monitor, which in their majority didn't show the first and last 8 pixel rows of the screen - so the developers simply opted to not draw anything beyond the visible 224 pixel height area.



Btw, this is probably the best video on YouTube about the topic as a whole:

As for your question about the arms being too long or too short, you need to consider the resolution the games (Street Fighter Alpha, MvC series) have and use references from those games to be really sure, after that, it's just guessing.
At a first glance I think the length is correct.

To further illustrate on the old Capcom arcade aspect ratio topic, hopefully this image can be of some help:



(As you can see from the difference between sprites like the sun, and other circular shapes from the screenshot, sometimes not even the original Capcom staff were sure which scale would be the "correct" one... :S)


If you're in doubt about the proportions of something in your sprite, try resizing the canvas using any of the values from the image above as a base - or simply multiply it's width by 1.2, that's pretty much all it comes down to. :P



Slightly related: the character graphics from Capcom vs. Snk and Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution are actually based on a 320x224 aspect ratio, multiplied by 2. This means that, not only the previous CPS-2/3 sprites have their width reduced, but all the characters graphics (including the ones exclusively made for these titles, aka. the "CvS style" sprites) also have their height slightly stretched when displayed on a 480p screen...! :ninja:)

Sorry if I'm being off-topic from now on, but since we're talking about A.I., I feel like this might be a proper place to ponder about something -

Some sort of Hulk kid, becuase any dude can become Hulk these days
Actually, that would be the Hulk himself... but as a girl...! :ninja: lol (my plan was for it to be his transformation during Demitri's Midnight Bliss attack)


Majin Lamp from DBAF doing Blue Mary's pose?
Sort of that. :P It was one of my contributions to the HDBZ Buu's graphic contest.

Some Random Anime Girl that looks like a Female Ryu sorta
I suppose you're talking about my sprite of Faith Connors?


Megaman if he had a remake like that IOS Mega Man X one
Now that you mention it, it does look like the exact same upscale technique used on that iOS port of X, haha!
