Hey, this is like my second fake ever and my first sprite edit there is stuff wrong with it but i hope u like it.



some background info... i know shao kahn wasnt the leader of the brotherhood of shadow but he is in this...... ok bg info.

Shao Kahn begins to find it increasingly difficult to lead the large number of different clans under his command, so he creates trials for each clan to determine their leader. The Dark Spectre is triumphant in the Shadow trials and with a new garb seizes the mantle of leadership of the brotherhood of shadow. With Shao Kahn watching TDS shows his power by kidnapping a random earth warrior to battle. TDS is victorious and thats his fatality

You gave a good description for your stage, but I would have also liked to hear a description of the fatality. Its a bit dark in some areas, but what I am guessing is happening is your character is controlling this 'mass' and has begun to push it through Cyrax's back and out through his chest. Anyhow, the basics seem to be there mostly. The lifebars are alright I guess, though the texts appears a bit squeezed into them. I do like how you have your characters on opposite sides of their lifebars, I've always felt that gave fakes more of a 'game' feel. The shadows are there, but I think they are a bit drawn out, especially given this dark setting.

The background, well its a bit dark really. I am guessing you darkened it, which is good of course, but the Noob sprites aren't very easy to see with just one glance. Also, I don't understand why all the members of the Brothers of the Shadow have to look like Noob. I'd rather seem at least some slight edits on those sprites, or even other types of sprites in the background. And why is one of the sprites reaching up from th floor? I mean, where he is is obviously where the stairs are, so if there is some sort of pit there, how would Kahn access the steps if he wanted to leave?

Your custom sprite edit is alright I suppose , it isn't bad. I do feel his atire is a bit too black in some areas, it blends into the background to much. But you did you various shades of gray, there aren't any spots I see where there is just one solid color, other than some parts of the legs like I mentioned above, the character just blends into the background to much in those places. The edit to his head is nice though, better than just a typical ninja look.

I don't really like the way Cyrax looks though, I'm just confused about what those pieces are that are debris from his wound. If its supposed to be sparks, or shards of metal, then it doesn't really look too good. They don't have a very metallic look to them, and even less of a 'spark' look. The position of Cyrax seems good though. As for this 'mass', I'm not sure I really like the idea. Just seems to simple the way it looks now, meaning the 'mass' doesn't have a whole lot of depth. It might would look more interesting if you edited the 'mass' so that it looked more like a collection of souls, since this power is supposed to be demonic in nature. Also, the tail end of it could have more shape, I thought it was smoke at first.

This is still a pretty nice fake, you did some editing so that's a plus. Your character is alright, the darkness would have been fine had your stage been different. Anyway, nice job.

thanx for the crit, crow i see what u mean in alot of ways and i REALLY appreciate ur long detailed crits, the stuff coming from cyrax is supposed to be mech fluid stubb but its a bad edit so doesnt look good, what i wanted for the noob in the middle was if u look at the stage i chose theres the ground level then there are kind of big circular steps leading up to Shao Kahns throne. this guy is kinda kneeling at the bottom of those kinda praying to the above (for some weird unexplainable reason) i did darken the pic cos something i noticed was that not enough people darken the bg when a fatality happens.

anyway the fatality, i thought about trying to get an original fatality and i came up with a shadow spirit kinda thing sweeping along and busting through cyrax's chest, unforntunately it didnt turn out exactly how i wanted but
1. its like my second fake
2. i doubt anyones fakes turn out EXACTLY how they wanted them to
