The All Faces & Magic Girls mini-update
26 Jun 2009 by PrimeOp
Didn't plan on updating this week, but...

Vs. Maker - Just a small portrait update. A lot of Capcom characters now have their pics from Capcom World 2 as avatars and King got a recolored KoF2000 portrait that fits her CvS sprites.

Sprite Rips - Since I ripped all of them for the Vs. Maker, I added the Street Fighter Alpha 3 Vs. Portraits. Yes, that includes the Playstation-only versions. I'll eventually make a pack for the edits I've made once I have enough. They're in .PNG form but still have a transparent color 0 and can be turned into PCXs to be added to your MUGEN .SFFs for portraits.

Sound Rips - MrGrill247 has been kind enough to send me another thing to upload and share: sounds from Sailor Moon Super S for the PSX. It's a big download and the only reason I bothered to update more stuff today. Thanks again for the sharing, kind sir. This is in the "Downloads - Sounds" section.

BTW: ScrollBoss' 9th Anniversary will be on July 19th. I haven't decided how to celebrate but I'll try to do something special for all you party people to enjoy.

Here comes some new Vs. Faker challengers!
19 Jun 2009 by PrimeOp
Yes, it's another small update!

Vs. Maker - Two new companies have joined the fight: SNK and... Data East?



Other added characters include E.Honda, Vega, Balrog, Firestar (from Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends), Zatanna and Sinestro. A few characters had sprites added to their lists including CvS sprites for Ryu and Ken. Hit the Graphic Generator section then click the Vs. Maker link.

Custom Sprites - A new Data East page was started and includes the new Bad Dude, Karnov and Karate Champ sprites seen in the Vs. Maker Generator.

Sprite Rips - Mrgrill247 strikes again with the parts from Haggar's Time Attack mode from Final Fight CD!

Minilogos - Quite a few new minilogos were added.

The next update will be about two or three weeks from now and will, time willing, be a more across-the-board update not just a bunch of sprites and minilogos.

Vs. Maker 0.75
05 Jun 2009 by PrimeOp
Graphic Generators - Let's kick this new section off with something that's been in the works for a long time: the Vs. Maker. It's a graphic generator that lets you choose a few options and spits out a fake screenshot of two characters preparing to fight. You may remember a preview of version 0.5 long ago but 0.75 was redone from the ground up to allow more styles and characters.

This still needs work and some characters aren't 100% but there's enough there to give you a good taste of what's possible. More of everything will be added in future updates so don't fret if any obvious characters are missing.

Sprite Edits - a Cody sprite edit that appears in the generator is added to the Capcom sprite edit page. I'll add it to the Cody sprite pack once I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Mini-Logos - Akuma, Dan, Cammy, Colossus, Guile, Maki, Poison and Sagat have been added while Storm's logo was updated. All of these were made for the Vs. Maker. The Gouki minilogo from the generator wasn't added because it's still a bit crappy. I just left it in because people would've asked why there wasn't a Gouki logo.




Edit: 2009 June 11

I've been getting good feedback on Vs. Maker so I uploaded some minor fixes a week early. They are:



1.) All SFA3 select screen portraits were replaced with the VS. screen versions. Guile's portrait was added and Maki gets a redone version of her SFA3-GBA portrait.

2.) Some incorrect graphic descriptions were fixed but I'm sure there are more.

3.) Quite a few characters got one or two added sprites. I couldn't leave Dan with just one taunt.

Just a few comic sprites
22 May 2009 by PrimeOp
Two ScrollBoss updates in one month? Calm down. It's just a mini-update to two pages on the Sprite Edits section.

Both the Marvel and DC pages have been slightly recoded and resorted. An updated (and still in-progress) version of the Superman 'arms folded' sprite edit was added to the DC page. The Marvel page gets redone versions of Cyclops in his original outfit (with two boot variants), Titania (made a little taller but still needs more work), and rounded out with brand-new sprites of Klaw and the Controller (because that old Controller sprite I did looked like CRAP). Oh, right: a solo version of that Archangel sprite from the X-Men 1 sprite scene. Some sprites that were only linked to (Human Torch transformation and Red Tornado tornado-ing) and others that I forgot to put back up (two alternate versions of the Black Panther) are now right on the page.

Have a good weekend!

Pardon me, unh, as I come back
08 May 2009 by PrimeOp
Sorry for not updating in April as I planned but things got more hectic than I thought. Between that and the recent computer problems that kicked in, there aren't a lot of new special additions to the site this time. I decided to do a few overdue things to make up for it.

Sprites - The Aliens vs. Predator (Capcom) page finally gets an update with lots of sprites and some spazzy animations. BoR community memeber Fight' n Words kindly donated some Metamorphic Force graphics so it finally has a page now. The E-Swat page also got a few new player sprites and images from the intro. The flying car from Alien Storm was added to it's section and the intro pic of the Arabian Magic heroes was added to it's new section on the Taito page.

Custom Sprites - The Sega page gets a Streets of Rage 1 group sprite that recreates the intro screen. Thanks to a tip from spriter Kiwi, Axel's face in that group and the solo sprite looks less kooky. The G.I.JOE gets a new soldier: Gung-Ho.

Sprite Rips - Mrgrill247 sent me a big ZIP file full of enemy sprites from the arcade Sailor Moon game by Banpresto. They're available for download on the Sprite Rips page.

Sprites - I added the Alien Busters and Alien Burgers logos from the arcade version of Alien Storm.

Tutorials - I started a bit on the "Sprite Basics" page about Color Limits but it still needs work. I put it up anyway.

Seeing as how this site has been slacking in it's macking for the last few months, I'll try to step things up despite working through some computer problems.

(edit 2009-05-13): The link for the Sailor Moon sprites was wrong earlier and I apologize for the mix-up. The link is now fixed and also links to an updated version of the pack that MrGrill247 just sent me.
