Once the final 16 characters are determined on Tuesday, we'll open up user image submissions. You'll be able to submit both foreground and background images for each character, 240 x 120 pixels.

A foreground image should focus solely on the character, with the middle third potentially centered (on narrow mobile devices), be a PNG with a transparent background (as the current images are), submitted facing to the right, and reversible depending on which side of the bracket they'll be facing. There's not a lot of room for creativity here, and we already have default images set up and ready to go, but alternates are more than welcome. You can find the default images in the /images/x/char2/ folder here on the site (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/images/x/char2/97.png
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/images/x/char2/97.png).

A background image should be a bit muted (as the character will be in the foreground), but can represent the character and their game(s) as creatively as you want. We suggest overlaying the default foreground images on top to make sure that they'll look good when they're put together.

I've needed the second chance bracket for quite awhile now.

Yes
---

Sweet I'll try to submit some stuff
---

Allen, you need to look at some of the vote stuffing for Tifa. There were people on this board admitting to stuffing votes
---

Weegee VS Sexy Tifa got so much potential!
---

Allen please ban ExTha for cheating and assault via RKO

Kinda wish you asked for this weeks ago when people had issues with multiple R1 pics. They probably didnt change any results, but a few in particular were just very ugly to look at. A few guys here were even super excited waiting to be asked to make pics. Now it sorta feels like it only mattered for the elite section of the contest

Will Bowsette pics for Bowser be allowed?

ok i did it


---

Cool
---

USER PICS!!!

no

no i made both the foreground and background
---

i guess i got a lot of pics to make
---

Shame there isn't more creative freedom this time around. I was hoping they would be like the Games contest where we could center them to the preset dimensions.

(rip)

I guess second-chance bracket rules will be announced on Tuesday as well?
---

zen you mixed bowsette up with some dragon turtle dude
---

So we make the foreground and background images separately, meaning that a different foreground might be used with the background we use?

Yeah

I think its to prevent pic sabotage, we can make our user shit but there will always be a chance voters see a neutral image mostly made of whatever Allen came up with

I was actually thinking of seeing if Allen would take a Crono sprite.
---

@ZenOfThunder Are you gonna make a separate picsmith topic or are we just gonna throw in our ideas here?

Link vs Cloud is on the release date of SSBU. This has to be the match picture in some way:

Still a great image, but it's always looked silly to me because of how mismatched the sword sizes are.

Some quick foreground pic ideas I thought of. Still trying to think of some cool background ideas

@NowItsAngeTime let's just use this one for now, I don't wanna make a topic until Allen puts up an official submission link
---

Why is Cloud in the picture twice and nobody else is?

While it was a promo image for Cloud being added to SSB4, that doesn't really explain why there are two Cloud.

A focal point of that direct was that Cloud had two outfits

Im still struggling to think of good background pics

Maybe like important levels or equipment or items like Chaos Emeralds for Sonic?

I just dont know how to make a background have a bunch of fancy stuff but still be muted and have a bunch of it still be visible (especially big characters like Bowser if you want to do things like include the Peach crown)
---

i was just gonna do what me, KP and Ulti did back in the day when we were just starting out and had no artistic skill at all and take screenshots from games and just blur/sponge tool them

it's not high art but there's not much you can do with these backgrounds and have them work with every single submitted image. we don't even know what allen is gonna accept into rotation.

just focus on making them work with the default Allen pic i guess
---

pixel art of stages could be pretty good
