==========

The list will go here.

And in case I forget anything....which I'm sure I will....this list is subject to change.

=====

On a side note, here's a tutorial Smithy created during the days of his project known as Ganbare Nintendo Densetsu:
Here it is.

Ignore the "Hi-Ougi" tutorial for now.

=====

Copied and pasted directly from that tutorial, here's what we'll need.

Idle Stance (3-6 sprites)
Walk (4-8 sprites)
Run (4-8 sprites)
Defend
Item Use
Dead
Hit
Near Fatal Victory (usually a kneeling pose)
Victory (no real limit but try to keep it under 10 sprites; 15 max)
Attack (same as above)
Attack 2 (optional - same as above)
Attack 3 (optional - same as above)
Upward Attack (mandatory - same as above)
Jump Attack (mandatory - same as above)
Stop (from running)
Tech 1 - 10 (only 10 or fewer techs are allowed; no real limit to sprites in animation. Be sure to include...but don't always limit yourself to...the specials found in Brawl.)

=====

Animating Techs and specials:
--The characters will have all their Brawl specials in their arsenal of attacks, but they'll sometimes have a few more in their arsenal.
--For the seven "central" characters this is definite, but outside of that, if you can't think of anything or don't see it as necessary (an example would be any Fire Emblem character, since they usually only had one attack in their own games) then just forget about it.
(An example of a character with a wide variety of techs/specials would be Ness or Link, who had lots of Psi and Equipment handy.)

=====

Final Smashes:
--Final Smashes will be the "limit break" of this game. Gameplay details can be found elsewhere, but here's the lowdown:
--For all characters who have a final smash, emulate what you see in the game.
--Optional: For Clone characters who have the exact same final smash as their "mother" character, (Falco and Fox; both use landmasters) you can, but don't have to, come up with something else.
--For those who have NO final smash (Isaac, Krystal, Dr. Mario, Mewtwo...), you can come up with something.
+Again, we can assign our concept artists to that, and we can hold off on that until the time comes. However, if you want to sprite them anyway, go ahead and be creative. (No, Krystal isn't psychokinetic; no PSI Rockin' deals.)

--Speaking of PSI Rockin', that will be Ness' final smash instead of PK Starstorm. (Any earthbound fans?)
--Falco's Final Smash will also be changed to an Arwing.

=====

Kirby: Kirby's "hats" will not be that of the other Smashers. Instead, he will gain them the same way he did in his own games; inhaling enemies.
This is because he will not be fighting against the other smashers.
Take a look at the enemies list to figure out what you'll need to do.

Lyn, Saki, Krystal and Isaac: Lyn, along with Isaac and Saki, is an Assist Trophy gone playable. We had several reasons for this, but for now, here's what we've got to say:
We will detail this in the gameplay section some more or in future updates in this thread (or both), but if you want to sprite them anyway: since they don't HAVE any specials, be creative and make some up.
Needless to say, the same goes for Krystal. In her case, however, we are going to redesign her for the game altogether.

Ness/Lucas: There has been dispute regarding the Earthbound characters' structure and the corresponding artstyles.
Until we get this OFFICIALLY cleared up, don't start spriting either one. (I've already started....but I've paused for now.)
More on this later.

Pokemon Trainer: For various reasons, we've decided to go with a completely new design for the Pokemon Trainer. Because another concept artist wants to but has yet to submit an image for the new design, we discourage any spriting of this character until we've decided on a design.

Bosses and Villains:

This list WILL be changed drastically.
However, we'll only be adding things, so feel free to do whatever you see on this list.

=====

Some of these bosses...mostly the sins...will have more than one form. In such a case, the other form will be listed below the name of the enemy.

Also note that all Sins and most bosses will have overworld sprites and mugshots.
All playable villains will all have Status screen portraits as well.

=====

Sins:
-Dedede (copy and paste from the playable list.)
+Dedede Possessed by Dark Matter
+O3

-Ridley
+Meta Ridley
+Omega Ridley

-Eggman (overworld sprites include inside and out of his hovercraft)
+Eggman in Hovercraft
+Eggbeater (Sonic 3's final boss. Not sure if that's the official name.)
+Egg Hawk (A flying machine shaped somewhat like a blimp.)

-Pokey Minch (mugshots will include "old" and "young" pokey. In battle, they will be color swapped as necessary.)
+Pokey in Spider Mech
+NK Cyborg (reference from Mother 3)

-Mewtwo (no alternate forms)

-Veran
+Mr. L (Veran possesses luigi. Create overworld sprites, in-battle and mugshots.)
+"Dark Faerie" (second form from Oracle of Ages.)
+Feral Possession (read the timeline, if you can; if she possesses any of the three "Feral Cornerians"...not including Fox...this is the result.)
+Third Form. (Something original here, something nasty and grotesque. Be creative...concept art soon to come, unless you wanna try your hand.)

-Giga Bowser
+Omni Bowser

=====

All of the following include overworld sprites and mugshots.

=====

Miscellaneous Villains/Bosses

Note: If it's an original boss...because there are several of those...you can just ignore it for now. Either we (those of us who came up with them) will sprite them ourselves or put up concept art for it all eventually.
They will be marked by an asterisk.

=====

Note: In case you haven't noticed while reading the timeline, there are several spots where we insert a bossfight pertaining to a certain theme or series, but boss in question doesn't fit the occasion or hasn't been thought of at all. They are listed here:
--Aboard Meta Knight's Halberd (First visit). Mechanical Mid Boss.
--On your first visit to Magicant, Ness fights off "nasty vegetation."
--You can return later to a really weird, freaky bossfight, but who? Something really off-the-wall.
--Giygas appears in some form at the very bottom of Shadow Moses. At that point, though, it's an optional fight. We were going to decide on another form to give him besides his standard Earthbound incarnation.
--When Ness, Yoshi and Kirby are in a cave towards the VERY beginning, the former two go against a cave-themed mid boss. This is just before Sluggy the Unshaven.
--A forest themed boss, OR something along the lines of a space pirate fight. Just before first visit to Smashville.
--One of "Veran's creatures." (Isaac, Lyn and Lucario in first visit to Daein.)
