Don't bother telling people your age, as it's just a number and will not effect how a fake should look, even if it is your first.

I can't say that I like the picture, because it shows that you did try to edit the sprites, but you didn't do a good job with it.

You can't see the characters' faces well, Sindel reminds me of some kind of fish monster, the life bars are too high on the screen, there's no timer, Liu Kang's hair's just plain black, like a splotch was just put on it (same with his pants), Sindel's arm's grey for whatever reason, and it looks like Kang's going to give Sindel the middle-finger. The sprites also seem unusually small.

If you're going to edit sprites, you'll have to do it pixel-by-pixel, and you can't just use the same pixel of colour over and over, because it'll make the clothing look fake; when one is standing in the light, the clothes are never one single colour, but shades of that colour. You need to practice shading more.

So, so true.

It doesnt look too bad for your first fake and I see you even did a little editing on the sprites. I give you a 6.3 for the effort.

You should try using real sprites instead of homeade ones. Go to Murdoink's site(mkw.mortalkombatonline.com) And see if anything can help you there. I give it a 3/5

You need to use ripped arcade sprites. Those in your fake look like crap. Keep trying and maybe some day you can make fakes as good as this:

I never said I didn't like it, just never use age as an exuse for not being able to do something.

Oh and I don't like it, but then again, it's your first, and you actully edited something, so you did a pretty good job.

MKVII, please stop acting like you're the god of fakes. Because you're not.

Anyway, the idea is just okay, but ripping the sprites yourself and editing them do show some effort. 7/10

Wow, I'm starting to respect you. You're one of the few "fake newbies" who isn't afraid to admit when their work is "kinda crap." That's actually the first step to getting better. But still, you NEED to read the replies if people don't like it. That's how you fix shitty mistakes. Even if they don't tell you how to fix it, they at least will shed some light on what sucked. Sometimes you have to figure out things on your own. That's how I like learning anyway.

Unless you two know each other, sorry, but I doubt MKVII is fooling around. It's called jealousy... sometimes even plain stupidity. If he is fooling around, some one should tell him he's only amusing himself.

Uh, hate to break your heart but I was making better fakes when I was 9... =/
Anyway, age isn't a factor...ability is. You're fake is uber poo.. but OMF HOW MANY SHADES OF COLOR IS IN KANGS HAIR!!?!?! Meh, maybe like 5..only because you did not actually edit all of his hair.

Argh. I do not have time to completly disect this fake, and frankly even if I had the time, I wouldn't. Meh, kid, if you don't have a photo editor I recommend you get on then just leave the MSPAINT fakes to Sub-Zedox. Another tip, use arcade sprites...use mkw.mk5.org for them or rip them yourself. Also, practice shading and look at some quality fakes to find out how to do stuff.. Eh. Whatever, I just wasted my time posting this probably.

PS.

No, no. NO! That fake is horrible and I will not waste my time on it too. ARGH! ...
