Yes one of the most iconic Sega Genesis heroes of the old school days of gaming. It's the movie Wall-E with an action hero twist but 20 years before Wall-E ever came out
For anyone whose seen me at Elecbyte and MFG, I've been whining about a Vectorman wip and bugging other creators to do one for years now. Well I've gotten tired of waiting for one so here's my shot of doing one, once and for all
The sprites originally are from this guy on Deviant art http://gagglehgadamequinox.deviantart.com/art/vector-man-208627832
The head was modified a bit to resemble the cutscene art. For anyone still curious about this game character, look here and see who this Orbot is

Now a lot of you might not see anything special about him but at the time those graphics were amazing, everything prior was flat 2D looking but this was dark and shinny and all 3D so it was really exciting.

I've heard of this alot of times since i've downloaded Sega Emulator on my PC. I constantly playing Vectorman 2 on Genesis (or Mega Drive in America and Japan) for the whole time. I was hoping to see Vectorman to be mugenized, and for that, i'm actually surprised. I won't ask about the progress, i will know when the time comes. If you would like to add some palettes that Vectorman has some color change because of these, swampy fly thing-in-my-jigger damage him to change the color, i can assist you if you like. Thank you.

Yes this is a real shame to, he's one of the best and one of the few who got a sequel. There was talk of bringing him into one of the new consoles in an all new 3D adventure but apparently he was dropped because fans everywhere hated his new look and style gameplay. They criticized it as looking too much like master chief from Halo and hated the idea of it being another generic first-person shooter
Kinda happy and sad that this never happened.
@Mr.Ketchup,
Thanks, I am also glad to be doing him...sorta
He's a lot of work, I'm trying to mimic his spritesheet but it has a lot of frames. The walk took me about 3 days
and it still looks weird, especially the head, it jumps all over the place. Hopefully i can figure out a way to fix that X(
But yeah Vectorman is a must and I'm gonna personally really enjoy having him. He's like a rare pokemon, LIKE MEW

that because vector man works like a battle assault chars he was animated in parts using angel draw I got a gundam char form old babel sword if you remember that works that way but I have two methods of doing so I made one using Kong's shield and other is babel sword i'd like to help you if you need any with coding though I'm in very tight fix right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwM3nTMwDLA
also I seen one dude make chars that look vertor-man like chars at mugen infantry but their animated the hard way too
Subject: Re: VECTORMAN - WIP August 19th 2013, 1:49 am
Oh yes I remember this wip in another thread. Man you are tough for doing all that work LOL
Yeah it's the hardest method to me, I think hand drawing would be easier

kk I suggest then looking at the one at infantry for animation reference they where made char like your vector man the hard way XD
I do have say they though I have more simplified version caption America shield code form kong's is simple and less var intense than the babel sword version it take you way less to draw but more time to code though but it works with the old animations too just in parts
edit or maybe I should save it for my own one day XD
