Yeah, it's nicely detailed. And since I know how it reflects stuff, I plan on doing a little "Oh nuts!" moment in a sprite comic I'm working on.
Here's what I did to try out the shield pose for Simon.

Nice! That's looking like a high block frame for like an overhead attack (which looks pretty cool).
For a standard attack and duck attacks, I thought it'd be like this, only because Simon should be able to see over the shield location:

Well, I got a GBA devkit, that I'm learning how to use. Might remake SCV4 on it whenever I finish all my current projects.
Imagine that. A Super Castlevania IV ROM to use for your emulator and/or your actual GBA.
Hm... Which makes me wanna ask, if I were to actually make that ROM, would I be allowed to post it here? Cuz the "Rules" section says no download links to ROMs, but... You know. If I made it...
If the ROM is made from the ground up, then it's a legal public-domain ROM, and you can post it. Commercial ROMs are not to be posted, however.
Totally Off Topic: how do you add tags to this thread?
You can add tags when you're NOT using Quick Reply. The Tags field shows up when you reply to a thread, right under the Subject Line.
You can add tags to an entire thread at the bottom if you see an "Add Tag" button next to the existing tags... but only if you have the right permissions (I think only mods and admins can add without replying but I'm not sure).
About how many days did that take you Jorge, it seems like you got a complete sprite sheet done fairly quickly.
It took me, off and on, about two months? That's when I started working on it.
It all started in
this thread. And that was on May 24th.
