Hmm...that doesn't really look so useful, you know. It's not even a full rip. You could probably find a SMB3 Bowser sheet with more poses somewhere else.

This is a rather pathetic attempt at grabbing attention, in my opinion.

Some of these are ripped already (not sure about others). Also, the sheet is really small. 11 sprites is incredibly few for a submitted sprite sheet. Additionally, I'm pretty sure these aren't even all the Bowser poses.


EDIT: at the comment above mine, though. Since when is submitting something and putting a probably joke-ish comment on it, just supposed to be judged a "pathetic grab for attention"?

Yeah I agree with this guy, and I think that is all the poses, I played him like 10 times and tried to look for every different animation, but maybe I missed a couple. I just felt like submitting a final level sprite sheet in case anyone wants to make a remake or something I don't know sorry for trying to contribute Soiyeruda.

Doesn't he have a falling sprite after he jumps, where his arms are up or something?

I can't really remember quite, but I'm pretty sure he has something like that.


EDIT: Also, I would check for you to see if these have been ripped already, if the main site were not down. Just to make sure you know, if stuff gets submitted that's already all on the site, the new submission will be declined (or at least that's how I understand it works).

Yeah, that ground pound thing where he breaks the bricks.

Oh yeah I forgot about that one... <_<, oh well.

Ok, maybe I may have saided a bit harsh....
All I'm saying is that many people have possibly ripped this sheet, and it seems pointless to have it ripped again......

Stop guessing on if it's ripped or not.

Even if MFGG's down, there's The Spriters Resource.

There's also a list in the MFGG Wiki on whether a game is completely ripped or not. Check it.

Hey, here's also a tip, to the submitter; if half or more of your sheet isn't sprites, either you're wasting a lot of space or it's not big enough.

Maybe it didn't occur to him that it might have been ripped already???

The Wiki doesn't give enough info regarding which specific graphics in SMB3 aren't ripped yet (though the Talk page of the ripping article contains some info, which I posted there a while back, and looked at today before posting in this thread).

I don't think sprites' ripped status on tSR has any bearing on MFGG's acceptance of sprites, though I could be wrong.

I know that the Wiki doesn't give full information, I said, "on whether a game is fully ripped or not." But yeah, the Talk pages can be pretty helpful.

tSR doesn't affect the results of MFGG's acceptances, it's just that there's a high probability that most sheets there have already been ripped and submitted here, even higher perhaps because we focus on the Mario aspect of spriting, rather than spreading our resources over Zelda, the Capcom games, and so on.

Good points, but I was only meaning to explain why I myself guessed about whether it was already ripped. I realize that it's a good idea for submitters to do those things in general.

Yeah I wish the website was up.

No common sense is no excuse, anyhow.
It should be 150% obvious that that Bowser sheet has already been submitted.

No offense, but just because a person is new, does not mean you should constantly attempt be polite to them. Sometimes, you need to tell it to them straight. You should still be polite, but not to a "nice guess" point.

We still don't even know that all of the poses on his sheet are already ripped. You'll look pretty silly if they aren't. (I know for a fact that not all Bowser poses are ripped, because I checked myself a while back and posted about it on the MFGG Wiki.)

There is no excuse for acting obnoxious, and saying something about someone being "pathetic" and wanting attention just because he was trying to contribute to the site, would definitely fall into that category.


By the way, Cellnkocane, have you considered adding more to the sheet? Adding the missing pose(s) would increase its likelihood of being accepted. Of course, I would recommend waiting until the site's back up before you consider yourself done, though, to make sure you still don't have a bunch of already-ripped stuff that won't get accepted.

Maybe if you concentrated on putting various miscellaneous SMB3 things on the sheet that are known to be NOT ripped already on MFGG, it would get accepted.

I plan on adding all the missing stuff, and then maybe the rest of the things in the level also, like the stream laser beam statues and the door that lights up and flashes, but I'll do that later tonight.

Feel silly? Why would I feel silly? He would fix the mistake he made in the first place, so there is nothing to feel silly about.
You make it sound like I hate losing an argument.

how does it look now?

It looks good, but maybe you could rip the SNES one too? Maybe that's a bit too much to ask, but it'd be helpful to have both in one sheet...
