It just seems like it could be viable with more frames....looks like true "tip-toeing" from a cartoon.

Did some simple edits on Big Ben Boss; renamed him Big Bob. If anyone wants to anything with that, have at it.
I actually used these sprites to add him into SOR 4 to replace his SOR 1 counterpart. Came out pretty good.Screenshot (27).png
 
Accept this version of Axel BKM.

The idea for this version came to me a long time ago while playing BKM. I was confused by the fact that he looks like another Axel SOR 2

Hey Mr. Hunter, I added some extra sprites to the normal BKM SOR 1 Axel you made for fun. I loved how it looked, I was curious how the other SOR 2 Moves would look, and this is what I did so far. I added an extra kick sprite to his basic punch and kick attack, and his SOR 2 standing jump kick. They're not perfect honestly, but came out okay. If you wanna edit them yourself or fix em up that's fine.

I prefer to call this version of Bongo Isao.
Great job:)

I remember when I created this version of Axel, at that moment it was just a small mod for BKM. If you look carefully, you will see how crooked it is in some places, and all because I was working late at night and simply did not notice that it was necessary to remove the original layer

I understand man dw. This is still cool though, I love the effort you put into these sprites. I hope you can add his grand upper sprites and his dragon smash sprites to these. I'm curious how they would look still lol
 
I never did like the way he runs in the game. It's okay for a dash, but for running it looks weird. Made a new one, inspired from "ninja" run. Keep the upper body for nostalgic feels but add a little bit subtle movement here and there. The static hands was intentional.

I wanna make more edits for him to give him more complete moveset like I currently making for Ash. Excuse the blurry sprites because it's still a WIP.

On a break but recently getting back at it.

To do list:
Ash:
- Reshade all convertion edits to fit more like SOR3/BK3 style.
- Combo Attack
- 2 & 3 Stars Blitz attack.
- Air Special
- Block
- Grabbed Throw
- Weapon Attack/Blitz/Special? I don't know, maybe later.

Shiva:
- Neutral Jump Kick
- Back Attack
- 2 & 3 Stars Blitz attack.
- Air Special
- Grabbed Throw
- Weapon Attack/Blitz/Special? I don't know, maybe later.
- Maybe reshade Patataboy's sprites to SOR3/BK3 styles.

Credits where credits due:
- Gsaurus for his Pancake tools.
- SORR / Bombergames Team for sprites reference.
- @ZVitor for his Emma Frost MIW walk which I used for Ash. I thinks it was @esn23 who made her IIRC.
- @DD Tokki for bringing up Cattydox/Broadway, I'm gonna used some of her moveset for Ash.
- E253MechaShadow for Estel sprite reference.

Future WIP:
- SOR1 Axel using BKM sprites as a base
- Murphy (Police officer)
- Tiger and the gank
- SOR Bosses
- White Ninja
- Some dude with brown jacket
- SOR4 Characters. I'm gonna start with Estel.

This looks very interesting. I like what I see, and I want to wish you good luck:) and patience, since I won’t be able to return to my work any time soon (A phone is a completely inconvenient place for pixels, especially without a stylus)

@GekiPurple Look what I tried to fix for that jump shot. I couldn’t touch the rest properly because my Pixel Studio went a little crazy because of which the color palette went wrong.

Plus my little guess for Dragon Smash.

One frame, I know it’s not enough, but I’m trying to put all my patience into the phone

No rush man, the sprites look great! Take your time. It's looking good so far!

I am extremely curious as to how you're gonna do this. I can't recall the last time I've seen new streets of rage style stuff that didn't look like edits of previous things. DinTheArabay did a few years and years ago and they looked perfect, but it feels like the style is a bit elusive. It's just a little smaller than the snk fighting game sprites people are used to, enough that you can often slip in parts of faces or hands, but too much for the characters to look good wholesale.

Are you asking the method I used for making sprite edits? Would you believe me if I tell you that I can't draw let alone making sketches. I really tried, I even bought drawing tablet and now it sitting useless somewhere in my room. There's 2 method that I used.
1. CPR Method
It stands for Copy, Paste and Rotate. Basically you copy/cut body parts from the sprites and rotate it to suit your needs. I learned it from extracting and studied Mugen chars.
Pros = Sprites will be almost accurate as the source
Cons = If you do it badly, the anatomy would be weird. That's how I always use reference, reference and reference.

But you can only go so far using this method, eg : The source sprites doesn't have the exact body part or move set that you need.
So I go to the second method which is I love the most.

2. Conversion
I usually use sprites from different game, but I love KOF sprites the most because it's what I'm familiar to. I resized and reshade to match the source sprites. Again using source sprites as reference so the the style would be similar at best.
Pros = More variative move set
Cons = Sometimes it takes a lot of work because of the resized

But don't take my word, I'm not pixel artist nor professional. I just love making sprites edit, making sprites edit calms me down for someone with HBP like me. I wanna share examples but I don't wanna derail this topic. Maybe if @Mr.Hunter don't mind, I'll share here some of the result of 1 or 2 method that I used.
Estel looks really cool.
Thanks O, and while you're here I'm gonna ask permission to use your Sengoku 3 Falcon mugen char. There's a move I think will suit one of my WIP.
I think there needs to be a tweak to the SOR1 palm strike before the final frame with the left arm, to make the animation more fluid. Also, now I wonder what would happen if they used the left arm for the blast?
Agree. Already doing that, gonna share it later.

Thanks Mr. Hunter and nice job on Axel BKM conversion. Hopefully your notebook will get fix soon.

I'm gonna get back to my WIPs since my Ramadhan break are over.
