Super Smash Flash 2 v0.9b Rev1981 Sprite Rip Thread

[Trinitronity]

Hello again.

I once downloaded Werewood's Sprite Rips of Super Smash Flash 2, but noticed that they were unfinished.

So I went ahead and decided to rip the newest demo of Super Smash Flash 2 myself.

However, I will only rip stuff, that is exclusive to the newest demo, and because of that, every sprite rip will be a single file.

Zero Suit Samus (raw sprite rip):

Mario (raw sprite rip):

Old sprite rips by Werewood:

 

I will update the first post with new sprite rips, so stay tuned and have enjoyment.

P.S.: Raw sprite rips mean that mask stuff are not cleaned away. I will eventually come back to that, though.

Awesome resource.  What programs did you use to rip them?

I used a certain Flash decompiler, which you can get for free, but it probably works with any Flash decompiler, if you just open the right files.

I cannot say too much, though. After all, the walls have eyes (I'm pretty sure SSF2 devs lurk this place just in case someone tries to decompile their...ahem, "treasure").

Answer to RicePigeon

Well, I cannot citate about SSF2 spies being at MFFA, but I can at least citate how much they hate it, whenever someone takes the sprites, even when giving feedback:

 

Do not plagiarise or steal, that is, to take without permission. I will come down on you hard for this and at the very worst I will see to it personally that you are banned and/or expelled from this section.

Yes, that's right. Mcleod Gaming is STILL believing in a MUGEN concept, that is outdated for a reason. You cannot expect that everyone gives you permission, and you should be thankful that they would then have at least the etiquette of crediting you (something that I would always do). And you cannot just target a different game just because it's using your sprites without your permission, because you didn't made the character either, but Nintendo/Sega/Namco/Capcom/Konami/whatever other company made games where fangames were based on.

And yes, they ARE serious about it. and link proves it:

It's an instant perma-ban, if someone takes their SSF2 sprites without their permission to make his/her own game. Like seriously, not everybody can sprite, spriters in general are rare (especially when it comes to pseudo JUS-style), and most of the time, the only avaible sprites of certain Smash characters are either super awful, super unfinished, or even both (looking at the MM8-styled sprites of Fox and Falco). Like seriously, if you make a game, then you have to ACCEPT the fact that your sprites will be taken. I mean, sprites from official games are ripped almost every day, so why cannot the same thing count for fangames as well?

Well, of course, original characters are a different story, but now, we're talking about fangames, and if you release a fangame, then you have to ACCEPT the fact that people can steal your sprites and WILL steal your sprites.

 

Okay, with that out of my way, here is an update:

I managed to find a way to rip the sprites more cleanly. I already did a test on that on Zero Suit Samus, and the quality is a bit better (a bit, because the quality of the row sprites isn't that bad either).

I of course will update the Zero Suit Samus sprite rips link as well, but before I do, I have a question:

Should I do the same with Mario as well? I mean, I never really cared for Mario's sprites at SSF2 (because they should have been based on the Mario&Luigi games instead), but if someone is actually going to use those sprites for a MUGEN character, then I will of course update the link for Mario as well.

Would like to hear your opinion on that...

And this applies to us, how?

also lol enforcing copyright on an IP that isn't theirs to begin with

[Trinitronity]

Exactly.

It at least applies to whoever wants to rip the sprites, because if they find out, how exactly I do that, then the next version might get a copy protection, and then, nobody can rip anything from that game anymore...

And I still want to rip their sprites of Pit and Ike, who are indeed planned for the final version of that game.
