Female Jedah is the top choice.

I don't like SF2HD's sprites, at all. It's this super-detailed sprite that has very few frames of animation. It just looks like one of those old movie discs (that physical disc with pictures, not a digital disc). I know they had to work with SF2's limitations, but it would have been much better to just make another game.

Reusing old resources reduces development time and cost, which matters when you're shitting out a new arcade fighter every couple of months through the 90s.

>Darkstalkers Resurrection

no shit that's gonna be the same sprite lmao

>>4488508

Actually HDR's sprites aren't "detailed" per se. The anatomy on lots of animations is totally wrong and the guys doing the sprites clearly didn't understand a lot of details. For instance they changed Guile's comb to a knife.

Don't worry, anon, HDR's spritework is universally reviled by basically everyone, it's ugly as fuck.

>>4488515
I like it, but that's because I'm an easily pleased barafag and Udon over exaggerated the fuck out of the muscles. Honda and Gief, as well as Sagat were great.

>>4488515
>implying Guile wouldn't comb his hair with a knife

>>4488360

funny thing is that single morrigan sprite is better than anything they've ever come up with for ryu

>>4488360
Ryu's MvC sprite is just the alpha one. SF3 demands a different sprite style whereas Darkstalkers 3 doesn't. The only valid questionable one would be the lack of an snk sprite.

>>4488360
You don't fix what ain't broke. Why mess with perfection?

Because everyone on in DarkStalkers had crazy detailed and highly animated sprites and Capcom's not going to pay the money to have someone redo all those sprites and they're DEFINITELY not going to pay someone to make new ones for character specific damage sprites.

>>4488360
the only problem was in changing the original resolution of 384 x 224
Wouldn't be able to tell the difference if they hadn't made the move to 480p

>>4488515
it's absolutely disgusting.
Some people have no taste

>>4488738
So... The only problem remaking it in HD is that they did it in HD?

>>4488360
>>4488508
>>4488515
>>4488775

Basically put the artists that did the HD sprites literally can't draw original shit so he resort to tracing existing artwork, which is in different styles and results in mish-mashing parts of the different parts in the same sprite.
That also explains the nonexisting attention to detail, as the sprite artist clearly didn't care, and all the anatomic fuckups

Morrigan is an ancient succubus, she doesn't age.

>>4488515
Looks like a comb to me desu.

>>4488752
It might be your phrasing or this board getting to me, but I feel you're offering that X-Men vs Street Fighter as a counterargument to people shitting on SSF2HD's art style. If not, carry on. If so, what's your point?

>>4488574
That's just because she's a hot demon girl. SF3 Ryu's sprites looks awesome with all the weight and volume put into the animation, in the clothing specially.

Still, it's amazing Morrigan's design works at all given the amazingly stupid concept of her look

>>4488515
>>4488563
>>4488980

It IS a comb, though poorly rendered. I always thought it was one of them greaser-style switchblade combs

HADOOOOUUUUUUU KEN!!!!!!!!
{ ~~~ (((((((((((( ::: )

Literally not a single person on earth cares about SF2HD aside DSP.
If you care, congratulations, you're now DSP.
You're going to stream yourself masturbating looking like an idiot, mashing random buttoms and saying WOOW a lot.

>>4490225
Who the fuck is DSP

>>4488508
>>4488515

looks like a furry porn flash game

>>4488515

how did blizzard get it so right on starcraft remastered?

>>4488360
The crossovers were "Reused Sprites: The Series" and there isn't much point in updating her sprite in the Darkstalkers series itself when they all run on the same system like the Alpha games. If they had ever made a CPS3 Darkstalkers they probably would have done new sprites.

>>4492250

DSP was one of the most famous twitch streamers something like four years ago.

Before twitch, he would play fighting games competitively and even won Evo (biggest fighting game tournament in the world) one year because they were playing the absolute worst version of SF2 and he won because the real players weren't familiar with the version they were playing on.

He's insufferable in general. Supposedly he's actually pretty good at Marvel vs Capcom 1.

If you want to see a character whose sprites changed a lot over the course of the Darkstalkers series, look at Huitzil.

Fasha?

>>4493351
Pretty sure that one was just someone goofing off. Akiman says the Darkstalkers 1 design team spent 3 whole months doing nothing but churning out character design concepts. If you're doing something for that long, you're bound to want to just blow off some steam at some point.

Capcom vs Snk looks the best here fellas. What say U?

> resort to tracing existing artwork

To be fair, that was literally the job they were given. Look up the artists and you'll see their work done elsewhere is much better.

This is a bit like the FFVI remaster going back to the old sprite style. Sure it looks like ass to most of us, but it's apparently what squeenix wants.

>>4494023
You mean the mobile version? It looks like ass because it has objectively bad graphics.

>>4493393
>Dat Morrigan

>>4492369
Because blizzard without activisions influence can still produce good shit.

>>4492369
Because the assets were redrawn in actual high definition. 99% of "HD" remakes are not.

>>4494003
Oddly enough Ryu's best sprite was done by SNK.

>>4488360
yes lilith is better.
what do you think about mvc infinity morrigan?

>>4494118
Is he standing over a fan?

>>4493397
> Nekomata Felicia

This makes me feel curious.

>>4488360
lazy
get it right

>>4488515
It's still a comb, just he's holding it at an angle where the teeth aren't visible but if you zoom in you can just barely see them.

>>4494031
Well none of us seem to like them, but that's my point. Someone there must have a love for the old sprite style.

It's a little horrific to think of, but had FFVI originally been done in higher resolution it probably would have looked pretty similar to the mobile release we did eventually get.

> awkward knee bending and unbalanced stance
> fabric looks like satin
> that weird weightless frontal flapping of the uwagi skirt and belt

Nah bro; it's a cute take on the original hunchback SFII sprite design, but III and even Alpha have superior Ryus

>>4488360
my favorite Ryu out of those are MvC, SF3 and Cap vs SNK, in that Order. After that SF2 HD I guess, the older ones look bad.

Lilith looks great in all of them. Japan please.

>>4488360
Old sprite Morrigan should unironically be an alt for MvC:I.

>>4489158
I think he's saying UDON has no taste, specially next to old school Bengus.

>>4492434
>character development

>>4494118
SVC: Chaos is ugly as fuck though.

>>4488360
Marvel vs. Capcom Ryu sprite is actually the Alpha sprite.
It's the best looking one and most iconic imo.
