Maz Version4

Nice finds & I like that version of Zan more than the final one. IMO,he looks damn awesome & heroic!

SORDave: To quote the website, it said: "The early Zan is more muscular, anime-like, and has sprite shading similar to the style in Streets of Rage 2. His feet look more like boots, whereas the final Zan's look more like loafers." The style is definitely unique and its a great art style to build upon.

SpideyKeiiti: If you could finish the Maz sprites and give it to me or Puzir we would be glad to plug it in to the character. We are actually anxiously waiting. I know im excited, can't wait to use the new and updated Maz

Lets all agree that we have to create a new thread of Beta Zan

By the way, take a look what I did this morning, this was my attempt to recreate his portrait using a bit of Python and KMeans, I know I could do that with Photoshop but I'm crazy. He looks like so epic like Cole MacGrath from InFAMOUS series


I'll see what I can do with Maz today!

Agreed,but also for also other beta related stuff too & perhaps can be restored as well.

And great job in restoring the portrait.

Yes, this is a great idea, it's unrealistic, but considering that Axel is almost finished, I won't be surprised at anything already. It turned out very cool to make a portrait of Beta Zan.

Hmmm,maybe we should make a thread on restoring beta stuff as Data add on's?

Maybe a Zan Beta Topic first..
By the way, I hope the original creator don't be mad, but I had this idea as her victory pose:


I think I have to alter her legs...

Beta Zan topic right,looking forward to it but could be used also to restore unused stuff from SOR trilogy prototypes? Just saying.

The frame 270, 274, 275 and 276 was taken from her V4 version, so the sprites still uses her previous color palette, but It can be solved very fast with Python or any other program, and I forget her glove in frame 268 ^^



Which winning pose (frame 290) did you guys prefer? I put a sword as a Kill Bill reference

Sounds good to me,I hope Beta Zan will go well?

Also Maz is looking great so far,keep up the great work SpideyKeiit

The sword pose. She looks beautiful. You are a talented sprite artist

I wonder how many more sprites of Maz are left to be made?

Spidey, my applause to you! You are improving Maz a lot, even the vehicle sprites are doing, keep inspiring the forum people
I had forgotten to send the Maz file with the low-kick backattack, whoever is editing the fpg add this movement.

that's the Maz last remaining Sprites. That's what I did today... I still need to make final improvements and make sure all colors are alright. I've spent a little time making new Blaze frames and recolor to Maz:
Bat Attacks

Excellent to see the progress of Ma is nearly finished. Once she's done with the final touch ups,then it's onto Beta Zan.

The sprites are incredible! You put the speed effect on frame 208.
I felt motivated to make some moves for her too, Maz will be one of the best characters on the forum!

New run attack! Based on the Rugal's genocide cutter. It Has more range and is useful for attack enemies from behind.

Hey,that's pretty sick! Maybe you can work with SpideyKeiiti on future stuff?

this is fucking awesome, is there any option to download the new version? I look forward to playing for her.

I agree Puzirkov,daniel2221 is doing a fantastic job!

let us know when she's ready. She's looking solid.

Hmmm,you know I believe I have some character skin ideas while browsing through random pictures from the last few days.

Also can't wait to see Maz finished.

Hey Guys!

I did the recolor from Maz V4 colors to V5 using the Python stuff, it took a time to list all colors to be replaced, it seens Maz V4 got 20 colors and V5 17 colors.

Anyway, Here is her Bike, Bat and Sword Attacks, I wanted to make a Haomaru reference to her sword and bat attack ^^

Edit: Fixed her glove color in frame 268 missing






Let me know what you guys think
