Capcom may have some sort of program that retraces the sprites for them (leaving just a bit of touch-up work to do), but I have no idea. Let's look at a bunch of pictures of Chun-Li from Three (Street Fighter 3):Īll the frames are drawn out, scanned in, and then retraced pixel by pixel. I, however, do not.So here's what I've figured out from analyzing the sprites and collecting small bits of information from all over the place over the years. They have no tutorials or explanations anywhere on how they make their sprites, which isn't too surprising because they have better things to do than work on tutorials, heh. The width will usually be less, except in the case of a wide character like E.Honda, or someone who's carrying a weapon that sticks out sideways. But keep in mine that the general "standard" is a height of about 100 pixels.

Anyway, the bounding boxes aren't important right now.we're focusing on how to MAKE these things.
If Zangief lunged forwards and stretched out horizontally, his sprite would become much longer horizontally and much shorter vertically. These measurements are based off only the pixels, however. Sakura is 76x87 while Zangief is 116x111. This tells us that the sprites each have their own size, with no real restricting bounding box. Also notice the difference in widths between the two. Each character has their own unique look.Zangief is a huge mass of muscle, while Sakura is practically a tiny little stick figure in comparison. Now that that's out of the way, let's look at a few examples from Street Fighter Alpha 3 first, to get in the groove: Remember, learn from everything you can, and adapt it to suit your needs. These techniques and concepts can apply to all sorts of games.Earthworm Jim probably used the same type of techniques. I use the term all the time because that's what I'm basing the pose/stance of the tutorial sprite on. Okay, now assuming you've done that and you're truly ready to make a sprite that can do a little fighting.īut first, let me point out that this is NOT just for fighting games. Depsite changing the size of your sprites, the basic principles still apply (especially the parts about how much difference one pixel can make). If that's the case, go back and read about the dinky little sprites. "But I want to make an action game.something with BIG sprites! You know, like a Capcom fighter!" You may have jumped right to this section and skipped messing with the dinky little sprites because you want to make big cool looking sprites. Okay, so we've worked with a tiny 16x16 sprite.Nice and simple for a traditional console style RPG. My name is Tsugumo, and this is what I know.
