I just wanted to do this, since I know just sprites are boring on their own sometimes. This has a lil' more going on. Plus I thought it'd look cool what with the two of them being nearly the same size, and I found the perfect photo of a fireball from some real life fire breathing carnie. I know it's Scorpion's Fatality but at least he's doing it different. Besides lets face it, they've gotta be running out of ideas too.

This is so much better than the plain sprites. Though I bemoan your choice of Kahn...he couldn't be taken out by that nansy pansy. Still, the fire effect is great in this situation, and I don't think it feels like Scorpion's fatality at all.
 
Yeah, I'm digging this. It's not reminiscent of Scorpion at all the way it's done.

The one thing I don't like about the sprite is that he doesn't show any lighting (or it's too subtle to depict) from the blast of fire coming from his face.

I love the fire, especially the way the skull stands out in it, but I wish you hadn't said that it was from a resource instead of hand made. Just my anal, creators perspective I guess that I think it should all be done without effects or filters. Maybe because I have never done a photo manip (which the fire is on a basic level) and would probably suck at it lol.

Still, good to see something in the fake category, especially when it comes out good like this!

Haha, well that's all well and good, no one said you had to love Guardian. I agree that Kahn wasn't the best choice though. I chose him because his pose fit the fatality best and I was feeling lazy. I wanted to have Guardian face another created character. A new sprite. But I went through so much effort just re-creating Guardian for the fatality that when I thought about the effort necessary to create a new character, who wouldn't even be seen well because of the fatality, I just said screw it, go with what works fastest.

Yeah I actually thought about the lighting thing but I didn't want to go into it. Good money says I'd have messed it up if I had. I've tried doing light effects on other things but I'm not very skilled at it yet.{EDIT}wow... I just thought of how to do the light fx and it was so obvious... I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner...
As for it being a resource, I'm just honest about those things. For one thing I wanted real fire because the sprites were human models so it all looks kinda streamline. Most of my fakes/sprites involve resources anyway. Sometimes it may be harder to detect, but they're always there. I like finding images and making them work to my purposes mostly. I'm adept at editing, but when it comes to fabricating I'm still honing my skills. You get to see it in small ways, like Guardians feet. But I usually try not to go big with it cuz it takes me a long time, and theres usually a resource out there that would look better than whatever I come up with. Remember that Sub-Zero drawing? The ice-ball and frost on his hands took me forever. But thats another example of me creating fx from scratch.
I'm glad u liked this one though K1ll.:-D

Rofl, RepKang. I like that. Yeah dude I know. I want another 2d game 2. I'm even thinking about trying to get together with my cousin (a programmer)and see if we can do it as a long term project. Re-create the old feel with new characters and content.

hmmm....a little bit bland and unspectacular but the effort you put into the fatality itself and the flames is pretty damn good
it would be really hard for me to rate this but I guess I can give it a 7.8 on a scale of 1 to 11.
some people preffer to use just the standard 1 through ten,I've decided to add another to it.....see..."these go to eleven" :)
