This may have been mentioned already (I know the Blues ones were), but...remember these guys?

Unused?

I think not. :3

MYTH BUSTED!

Edit: I jumped to the end of the game using emulator cheats to get that time, just in case anyone was going to say anything.

Damn, it's always in the last place you look.

Not to point out the obvious, but isn't that kind of the point? I mean, what's the point in continuing to look for something after you've found it? :x

So does Protoman have that kind of animation or is it something already on the sheet?

Ya know, despite playing that game over and over in order to check whether sprites were unused or not... I never noticed that. Will correct this mistake. The rest, I can assure you are unused :P


On the Subject of the Arcade games - Power Fighters - I had an email once that some of Duo's frames in unused section are used... but he didn't care to elaborate. Any idea what he's on about? I didn't see any of them in game :/

Sidenote:
Why.. the hell did Capcom bother to make frames like that for JUST that section and only that section? Considering the amount of junk in the game, and how generally unpolished it was, of all the things to use... Looks like some areas were more "polished" than others.

Shame about the MM7 masters really.

Edit: By "The Blues Ones Were", you mean his version of these frames.. I just noticed they weren't ripped back before I got a hold on INC. So, I .. really don't understand how I missed the others :P

Hm. Maybe Capcom made those for the regular animations, but they were cut and tossed in at the end?

Or maybe Capcom's just wacky.

I remember someone said that you could perform that move by using your charged move (the one that punches them in the air) and using a certain move combination to spike them down. I forgot how it went, and I never tried it.

They've since been removed from the "unused" sprites section and moved on to his main sprite sheet. If you're curious as to what it looks like, it looks like this:

Oddly enough, these sprites return in Rockman 2: The Power Fighters, but as unused sprites! (The high score screen in this game use big art for the #1 spot instead of sprites.)

Well, it goes something like this:

Charge, Up + Release, Jump, Attack

On an unrelated note, could someone edit the thread subject with an "(Image Intensive)" tag? Sorry.

I never seen that move of duo, dont looks like unused sprite.

Ace: That poses looks very good, why not add them too in Wily Stronghold?

The Protoman sprites were ripped normally :P
As I said, no idea how I missed Bass's and Megaman's frames...

So theres a couple of other frames to move...

Ya know I might just dig through the games again, because I think I could do a better job. Maybe even finish off those shield tossing frames of his. (if the sprites exist of course, I think I gave up because of how small the pieces were XD)

If you took out certain layers and whatnot, you'd see it's actually a bare fist with a major jump from one frame to the next. Alternately, look closer and freeze-frame the GIF. :x

Man...this is the most I've ever posted in one topic on these forums. XD
