Samurai Shodown V Special - samsh5sp(violentsingalong_03-13-2009)

My first try at a theme. I saw themes up for Samurai Shodown I, II, and IV, but not V. If you guys like it I'll make one for III.

Samurai Shodown V Special / Samurai Spirits Zero

Feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!

that's a good start, the edges on your artwork need some cleaning. if you're using photoshop go to layer -> matting -> remove white matting and that should help

the background and splatter are cool.

The characters could do with being as big as possible, even at the expense of the size of the video.

You dont even have to get the whole character in there, they can look really good partially on screen, if the original images can stand up to the scale...

Thanks, I worked on it some more and the edges look a lot better. I also added a border for the video. I couldn't get the Video overlay option to work so I just added that as Artwork1.

Thoughts?

that's looking better, but for overlay, you just have to pick it in HT. but if you're going to use it as an art I wouldn't use an overlay as artwork1 because that's behind the video.
the layer order goes

background
wheel
art1
video
video overlay
art2
art3
art4

The video overlay doesn't always work in hypertheme, but then you load hyperspin and it's fine....
