Hey check it out. Please tell me what you think and why.



Scorpion taking on the Lin Kuei in their Mountain Fort.

The BG took the longest to make. Dont really have time to add the life bars, timer, etc.

Since when does Scorpion have the ability to shoot ice? Pallet swap that sprite to blue so this fake can make some sense. I don't understand how the BG took you the longest to make when all I see is copy and paste with no actual editing. The blur movement effect is old and redundant. I ain't trying to give you a low self-esteem, I just think you can do better making something more creative.

Custom scorpion sprite is nice. Background could use a bit of work, the pillars become far too 2 dimensional towards the top, and without a ceiling it looks rather fake.

And just for the record, to the comment made about the sprites. Not all Lin Kuei wear blue, and Scorpion does not wear gold, so that's really a moot point.

Okay, Scorpion is not shooting ice. Did you not read the caption, it explains who is shooting ice. This Lin Kuei often wear these colours. Copying and Pasting? Not really know, the background its self, not the props. Okay old and redundant fair enough, i havent really had much time to do anything knew as i just got inspired on the spot.

Thanks, at least you give me some pointers unlike some dumbass

I didn't know all LK had ice-based powers...
It would have been better to just have made the damn ninja Sub-Zero to avoid any rejection of your idea, ya know?

The background isn't that great. It looks like you got a picture of mountains of a search engine and tried to add a few ef.fects here and there. The right side of the stage props is an obvious repeat, I would edited it so it didn't look so cheap.

The effects on scorpion is okay I guess. I'm glad you put forth the effort to edit stuff.

I just think it's really lame that you didn't even bother to just change the color of the clothes on the ''Lin Kuei'', since you changed the color of his skin as well. That is TOTALLY lame. Really, really lame.
Everything else is OK though... not particularly bad.

I never, ever want to here someone say one of my backgrounds are too bright tongue

Really, this is nothing special.

The Scorpion sprite is hardly custom (I can't believe someone thought it was). It's just a mesh of a few pieces, mainly the last sprite in his punch set on MK Warehouse that's been rotated a little. The legs don't mix well at all, there's that huge gap between his left side and his belt that makes it look like he's been cut in half.

The pallet swap isn't very good either. You swapped everything the same, skin and clothes. I'd guess you lowered the saturation, added a blended color overlay and increased the contrast... Sig techniques hardly work in a fake.

The effect for Scorpion is pure cheese. A little bit of the smudge tool after dropping an orange shadow behind him.

Everything looks pretty flat as well, barely any depth to the image aside from the mountains.

You need to work on the ice blast as well. The sheet on the ground is by far the best part of this fake. The actual blast is a weak attempt and should be more solid. You should also have it actually connecting with the sheet on the ground instead of just floating there with no contact point.

Very, erm... meh... sleep

Erm actually, his skin is left the same colour as it was before. The sprit i used had that coloured skin, so i dont understand what you are getting at there.

Thanks for all the constructive criticism.
