Slowly but surely. New standing/breathing frames. Next up will be walking & running.
I'll remove the black spots at the end of it all.
EDIT: Knowledge on how to easily/quickly remove black spots with Photoshop CS6 will be appreciated. Magic Wand is rather finicky.
Thanks LutiChris! The advice helped! Now the very last issue is with software itself. See, I used to use MS Paint in windows XP. The brush would be the same colour even at the edges. However, most editting software have this annoying tendency to be a bit blur at the edges of the brush. Setting "Hardness" to 100% doesn't help either. No idea what to do against that. So I have to use the pencil tool, can't be lazy anymore noooo~~~

* Updated standing legs. Deliberately blur sprites that would otherwise look perfectly sharp.
* Walking, running, stop_run, rolling, defending, start of jumping done.
* Corrected running centerx; I initially thought I made a spriting error.

1st Sprite Sheet (Click to View)

First sprite sheet complete yay! That means sprites are now about 45% done! (5% being black spots)
The base sprites for frozen & burning is taken from YinYin's character guide.

Additional moveset plans:
* STM can flip completely upright in mid-air, so he can counter with a fireball after flipping. He loses invulnerability if he counters though.
* STM can flip on the z-axis, which allows him to avoid getting combo'd by balls in stage mode.
* STM's air fireballs have state 6, so unlike other characters, he can dash after performing a jump attack, or even dash non-stop(he can shoot backwards after dashing like Henry) as long as he has mana.
* STM can roll after a dash. He can't roll infinitely or roll out of lying though, those are given a separate crouching frame.
* STM carries heavy weapons directly in front of him, allowing him to naturally block some hits. He also throws straight forward, so short enemies directly in front of him can still get hit.

(Frame rate is 20. If you want to see how fast the animations really are, toggle YouTube speed to x1.5)
I forgot to show the jumping/crouch animation, it actually looks really smooth

Cleared most of the black spots in 1st sprite sheet.
I've started working on 2nd sprite sheet as you can see in the video; punch/super specifically.

Sprites (Click to View)

Finished all basic moves sprites + DvA, except light weapons (which I'm planning to do something different).
Taking a break due to life commitments and faulty main PC's monitor.

Ground weapon attack done. It is also the new DvA attack sprite.
I decided to revamp STM's planned moveset. Details in 1st post, but basically I'm gonna make STM focus more on basic attacks but with powerful utility special moves.

Take note this is still a beta, so there is plenty of polishing to do before its 100% complete. I haven't even added the proper hadouken ball, its currently Freeze's ice ball since that's the projectile speed I'm going for.

30th March 2015, GMT +8 (10:58)

Hadouken sprites.

30th March 2015, GMT +8 (23:20)
The following things are completed:
1) All main special moves - hadouken w/Charging(3 levels), backhand/drawstrike, warp(instant short distance teleport)
2) Coordinates(bdy/bpoint/wpoint/itr) for standing, walking, running and all weapon-specific frames.
I may consider adding a healing move in DJA, but that's low priority.

31st March 2015, GMT +8 (19:30) (Click to View)

Everything completed. Final touchups, slowly removing black spots, making b_sprites. Most likely release on 1st April 2015, but its not an April Fool's joke.
