Hmm I think the part where I have circled green is a bit unsmooth lineart wise (zoom in to see)
Also the parts where I have circled purple is a bad case of staircase banding imho.

Sometimes it's better to use less colours for simple characters like toad. For example, you have 5 shades of skin tone which I think is a biiit too many. You can also get rid of unnecessary colours and sub them with similar colours such as subbing out the vest trim's dark yellow outline with the darkest skin tone colour or even the lightest shade of brown from the boots!

Also the contrast between the lightest and second lightest skin tone is barely visible.

One last thing, is that the lightsource is, indeed, confusing (look at that unnecessary light shade on Toad's chest; it indicates lighting from the right where as the shading on his mushroom head thing is from the top left).

Removed the comparision from the OP since now I'M part of the SSF2 Team.

That's no reason to remove the comparison. Wouldn't it be nice to show how far you've gotten.

I still think you should pay more attention to user criticism. You always just ignore them hoping for only good comments. Not everyone is going to like your sprites, you can't really improve if you don't listen to feedback.

I know, I do not even like my sprites...

As I said (I don't remember if it was here) All of my sprites are just Bases for.. well... Everyone

Clubby Bear's Actually Editing Both My Pac-Man and Mega Man for Super Smash Bros. Unity

Well, yes, but bases USUALLY are a single frame, as opposed to, say, a rough draft; besides, if you don't like your own sprite, why sprite at all? It seems a bit strange to be Quantity > Quality, personally.

Unseeeen Spritees

These are from July-August



I'm uploading these here because they're going to be Ultimately Deleted and Maybe Remaded

Squirtle is has a pretty bright blue, you should darken it.

And don't just use the old famous, hue and saturation tool.

That doesn't mean I can't give you feedback.

Palutena looks pretty good.
Except that her colors are too bright (at least for me)

I agree, it's has very good lineart in my opinion, I hope you remake it!

Seems like you almost never listen to user criticism (I stalk everyone in Spriters Corner so I've seen every post in the past). I shall stop posting in your thread cause I usually post to just give tips and I'll be time wasting my time if I continue posting here.

Anyway, your Palutena has good lineart but your shading and detailing is off (the hair for example and maybe lack of dress folds - take a reference from ssf2 zelda or something). Before you go make an excuse that you're gonna go delete them and stuff, please consider your user criticism when making your new version.

(By the way, Happy New Year everyone!)
