GBRPG: You've got the sprite stuff.

Neat!

Bad Ass!!

I'm not really into this style of sprite art, so... that's what I think of this.

Good. Now someone is finally making the Giant Bomb RPG that I had a dream about once. Now just make it episodic, and make sprite models of Drew, Dave, Alex Navarro, Rich Gallup, and Paul Barnett. Then have them team up to fight the forces of evil in San Francisco and give everyone at least three skill trees and then it will be exactly like my dream. Oh, and have Ben Coello do all the art.

How come Brad is the only one with ears...?

Ryan looks like he should be wearing a sunbrero or something... cool!

So classes/skill trees...
I would say Vinny clearly is purely physical attacks (warrior/monk/knight) .
Ryan I would think is focused on offensive magic (black/red mage).
Brad is support and healing magic focused (white mage/alchemist/summoner) .
Jeff maybe has a blend of physical and magic (hunter/ninja).

" How come Brad is the only one with ears...? "

" Ryan looks like one of the Lost Vikings. "

Awesome work there. As for an attack, Jeff should have an massively SP consuming move in which the whole crew jump into a truck and hit a big ass ramp, right onto the enemies! Saying that, who or what would be the enemies in this epic RPG?
 
EDIT: More ideas
 
@buzz_clik: Jeff's SCIENCE attack should equip the whole team with laser rifles or at least give them all an attack boost. Whereas Brad could use his soothing voice to stun or put enemies to sleep. What say you?
 Also, Vinny wields a tripod.

Not sure at the moment, although I'm sure this thread will generate some ideas.  As for your ideas, I think they're all pretty darn cool. I especially like the laser-equipping and Brad-attack ones! Of course, this is now making me feel that since Giant Bomb's got such a great community, it'd be nice for everybody to pipe up with ideas. If this game was chock full of people's input, I think it'd be a great reflection of the quality of GB. "

Vinny should have an attack with a slight chance of insta-kill, but also a slight chance to misfire and cast bufu, healing the enemy. EDIT: Also causes Jeff to enrage and deal more damage next turn.

Jeff should probably have special attacks that are based off Midnight Brown Songs. Brad should have a bunch of stereotypical southern attacks (Toboggan!), Ryan can... curse or something, and Vinny can cast spells from Shin Megami Tensei. And Hama has a 2% hit chance.

Not to be too critical of your work. I just wanted to make a suggestion, pertaining to Ryan's beard mostly. I think it would look nicer if instead of using gray for outlines, you used darker shades of the surrounding colors. So, instead of gray outline for his shirt, maybe a dark red. I don't know how that would look exactly, with the shading and all. But it wouldn't hurt to try it out, because right now it looks like Ryan has a big mustache, and the bottom beard part is his mouth.

After seeing this thread title several times, I finally saw the joke.

Dude, that is spooky. "

They look like the World Cup dudes. I like 'em.

Thats awesome. I'd play that game.

Nice, man, these are great! :D  
 
I like the Vinny sprite in particular.
 
I spent a good part of today drawing and redrawing sprites in an attempt to make an animation for one of my tracks. It didn't work out so well. :P

I sort of liked Ryan the other way...just my opinion.

They look bulky and tan, but whatever, still good. Oh, and [INSERT OBVIOUS QUESTION* HERE]?
 
*Can I be an NPC or playable character in this game that will probably not come to fruition :P?

They look like they belong in a Double Dragon game... Quadruple Dragon. Someone should make that game.

Very cool. Best of luck with the rest of this project, looks promising.

I think your Sprites are fucking awesome, good job man, should totally do Buckethead sometime haha ; )

Holy shit that Vinny sprite is fucking beefy. Christ, he could punch you through a WALL.

never fear, this game is in progress.

I'm sure we could find someone crazy who knows how to use RPG Maker VX to make this game a reality...
