Little Fighter 3. Hopes and expectations

[A-Man]

Ah, I thought I answered when I wrote:

I don't imagine anything KOFy. Though I think it'd be more likable if they're not LF2 proportioned. The quality of animation is more important than the looks, so how about you show what you think would be most manageable by spriters here?

The above looks really nice and will work nicely if you guys can do these for the game. But what do others think?

btw, are those actually different palettes? Or did you you just 'red shift' the whole thing by decreasing the blue and green components?
