Little Fighter 3. Hopes and expectations

[A-Man]

Spriting is different from coding.
When I play a char I can't day who coded it but I instantly can tell who made the sprites. Take the past contest. Even if the entries where anonymous, I could tell for every sprite who made it.
I would like to tell more but I'm at work atm so I cant^^
I'll try to go into more detail at night :3

That is true.
But when you guys work on sprite, do you do them knowingly they're going to be in a game, or is it just for practice?
When working with spriters, I've noticed that they're often folds more motivated when their work is almost immediately put in game and they get to test. Do you think that would make any difference to your workflow?
