Description I've said before that I love beat 'em ups like Double Dragon and Final Fight. So here's Captain Miracle  and Fantasma  fighting some palette-swapped thugs before focusing on the boss fight with Captain Mirrorcle  and Fantasmagoria. Judging by those health bars, I think they were made specifically to steal all your quarters.
I decided to render everything here separately to try and get a more sprite-based look. I also think this is the arcade version we're looking at, and the home console versions in the US will censor Fantasma's thong and turn Fantasmagoria into a dude.

Great picture! You captured the beat'em up atmosphere very well.

I haven't played too much at Double Dragon and I don't even remember if I played at Final Fight. I was (and still are) a Street of Rage fan.

I need to play more Streets of Rage. I never owned a Sega as a child, so I've played very little SoR.

This was back in the days before combos existed. So you'd have your jab attacks that required several shots to get somebody on the floor, and heavy attacks that would put someone on the floor.

Hit "jab" and "heavy" at the same time to knock everyone down, but lose a bit of health in exchange.

Those damn executives! I'm sure somewhere inside the home console there exists the arcade version that is hidden. Time will tell when people will discover it.

The Japanese version will be uncensored, I'm sure.

Im rooting for Fantasma to lose here so we can see her in more continue screen peril

I really like what you did here. This image and concept is fantastic. For some reason I also enjoyed the generic shadow blob you used for everyone. Makes me think with a lot of work daz could be used for a 2d beat em up spirte maker.

Did you render this as a single image with all 10 characters? Or some trickery rendering everyone separate?

Janus3003 In reply to PerilMachine [2020-04-05 00:26:37 +0000 UTC]

Rendering trickery. Every character was rendered on their own, with a transparent background. Then I rendered the background/stage, and placed everyone on top of it in Photoshop.

Sounds like it was a lot of work, but this really paid off

I probably spent less time rendering this way, actually.

This is amazing! From the thumbnail, it definitely looked like you'd put up a screenshot! You've got the sprite look and the 'horizontal bars' of a screen! (I don't know what its called )
