So basically, this animation is just a sort of quickie remake.
It's the Pit I, MKII Style. Found Here
Before you view, i must warn you the spikes look terrible lol So what do you think? Thanks Kombat for the sound.
If anyone can draw (Even in paint) some decent looking spikes i would be very grateful.

Nice job. Cool idea too. I think you're the first to try this. 5/5. I just didnt like the spikes too much. Made from Scorpion's spear right?

I think everything in this video is great, including the stage, and the sprites. But as you mentioned the spikes didn't look so well, they just looks like diamonds with no dimension at all.

Oops the second "Wins" thing shouldn't be flashing, i'll fix that later.
Anyone know if there are pictures of real spikes from an angle like that or can make some??
Wow, nice!

Good speed, great idea.
Pretty much only thing is those spikes really! I think someone said but they look flat. so fix those up and this is great!

I'm not sure that they cast shadows on the pit (ala pit 3 in mk3) but i'm hardly going to say you shouldn't have done what Midway didn't tongue.

Fix up them spikes an it's a 5/5 for me smile.

Cheers guys.
Are the new spikes better? The ones that flash on screen for a second?

Lao fan, there are two "Wins" signs because in MK1 that sign came up directly when the uppercut for the pit fatality occured but because this is different, i didnt want the sign to remain there as liu was falling.

Tim, thanks mate. These spikes are pissing me off, they should be simple to make but everytime i make them they look all ****** up.
And yes you are correct, the shadows were not originally in the Pit II but i thought they'd look cool and add some realism so i added them.

Also i added/changed a few things.


Tbh, the first ones look better.
It's not the shape that's the problem they just need some depth to them, some ood shading or something.

I know what you mean, does anyone think they could draw or find some decent looking spikes somewhere?
I would be very grateful if somebody could get them and give them to me.

I know this is pretty late, but I just realized the similarity between this idea and El Nino's, posted here. I'm sure this is purely coincidental, and both are different enough from each other. Anyway, maybe El Nino could help you out with the sprites?
