How to Rip Sprites Easier from DBZ1 Arcade

[dchan250]

 

Today I had trouble ripping sprites out from the DBZ1 arcade game. I can't seem to find a way to rip sprites unless you take the time to remove everything, and even then the hitspark was still blocking Piccolo's arm. So, I had to use Piccolo Daimaoh by Choujin and find the exact same sprite to copy his arm.

 

I also went into the debug mode, but it also had things blocking the characters (the collision boxes). I wonder how other people (ex. http://www.spriters-resource.com/submitter/Solink/) is able to rip all the sprites.

if you're patient enough, you can rip sprites from the tilesheet.  It takes a lot of precision and freetime, but it beats doing it frame by frame.
