gabotico, know i saw what do you say about you liked to do sprites!. good work with that april!. i love it.
i just want to say you should do vernom for him can scape running at the begin, when i saw you already do it.
well, think about too, that vernom is a very rare character...
there exist many strange playable chars like him on many games. for example, norimaro on marvel super heroes or ash on streets of rage 3...
so, if you liked the sprite, you can try to do something with him like you do with april. she is also another char that in start dont looks will be a fighter.
(unless on that episode where she have to defend his house from the mousers with a frying pan as a weapon with splinter).
apart, im sure that none will do vernom.
so... if you dare and you have certain good ideas for make him playable, using an stupid and rare weapon that could fit with him... you can try to do it. and look how he will look...
he will be a funny and totally unexpected char for the players...
apart, he can be used too as an enemy. on the way of those stories on the tv show.
episodes where the good guys was transformed or mind controled by the evil guys too. becoming enemies.
is rare, but curious. i remenber that episode where april became a cat woman and other similar chapters where happened the same with irma or the channel 6 boss i think... (mind controlled by shredder or the rat king i suppose... now i dont remenber fine

)
do you know...?
on this same way, was maked one of the BEST! arcade games forever...
HOOK. a game where unless peter pan, none could imagine how can be the attacks for the kids... but irem does one incredible good work creating that game where every enemy or playable chars, have their own weapons and curious attacks for fight againts others.
and all using a movie where fights not was preciselly their plot at all...
i never expected a game like that, and i loved that movie. so i ended loved the awesome hook arcade game as well. (apart, rufio dont dies at the game!

)
all this means...
that with imagination and having spriter talent... you can make everything!.
or make playable the more rare and unexpected characters.
and hook is the perfect example without any doubt.
an awesome game, where i expend hours and hours palying with pockets and a single credit.
and a game that i dont understand why, none does yet a bor remake or mugen of it yet.
ps:
----
just another suggestion... do you like to see some others rare attack ideas...?
then take the incredible good arcade game "the outfoxies". another true arcade/mame jewel.
this is another rare and true incredible jewel game, done by namco. where 7 killers
tried to kill themselvels into a very good and imaginative scenarios.
scenarios that even collapsing with time bombs scatered here and there... 8)
their chars are very rare. (from a pair of kids to a old man on a chair, or a chimpance, etc) and they can use many differents and rare weapons for attack.
sure that, if you dont knew that game, you will enjoy playing it.
and sure it could give you many suggestions or ideas for create rare characters like vernom or any others on bor games.
(in outfoxies, you can attack using pies... hot soups, fruits basket... bazookas, guns, machine guns, whips, grenades, and a lot of common and also bizarre weapons that you can get from the stages). ;D ;D
an example?
since vernom works on a desk on a tv channel, he can fight for example shooting staples from the distance, looking to the oppose side scared... LOL
or throwing erasers and stupid things like that. just as pockets does on hook with candies, etc coming out from his pockets!.
i dont have idea of spriting. but pal, i have imagination.... LOL
and there are a lot of imaginative games that could provides you so many ideas... specially, on many arcade games.
greetings
