I really love those bars :o

I think this image is awesome overall. But the stances the two characters are in, are very akward. The female especially..

Background, foreground, and life bars are great.

whoah thats alot of colours

awsome game, awsome work, especialy on the health bar and soul gauge

Very nice!

I liked especially the background. Well done.

Very very nice. I love it O_O

the poses seem a little awkward to me, especially mitsurugi's arms. but still a very good job on this.

Really nice!
I like so much the background and the interface.
Very good job :)

Oh what a very well done piece. Sophitia needs some cool-factor to her pose though. :)

splendid

This looks really awesome to me.
I love the scene.

Oh goodnes! I'd SO love a 2D port of Soul Calibur.

WOW amazing work, luv the background. Went right to my favs. Well done!

I want a 2D soul Calibur... NOW.

excellent mockup!

excellent and outstanding

Whoa, thank you guys for all the comments and feedback! I might do an edit, although it seems a bit redundant since this already was published. More pixels coming later for sure, I just don't wanna cross-post too much stuff that's already been seen elsewhere.

haven't seen the original game, but this is excellent. my only crit is the size of the health-bar etc -- it makes the screen seem crowded.

I agree with the comments so far, this is an amazing piece. I especially like the background/foreground separation you have here. The far background has a soft, almost painted look which is easy to distinguish from the crisp sprites. Nicely done. :D

nice :D ... i miss games like this ...

I absolutely love the background, and I love the characters, but a little bit less so than the background. No critiques; that's just how I perceive it.

Drop dead gorgeous!
7/7. Nuff said.

Saw this one in the latest issue of LEVEL! I thought it was awesome! You should post your other demakes aswell!

{ Simply awesome.

Lovely game, lovely pixeling! I dont like Sophitia... her moves are pretty sucky IMO and she is basicly a clone of Cassandra (or the other way around.) I own everyone with Necrid from SC2 or YungSung from any SC.

Soul Calibur IV, right?
The Soul Gauge it's beautiful, and I remember that stage lol
Mitsurugi's hair is a bit different, but I still love it. 6/6 fav'd

Great fighting scenery. Great fighters. Everthing is great!

That's quality!

I'm especially a fan of the background, and especially a fan of the leafy cliffs. The choice of greens you used is quite tasty. To be fair, though, Misturigi is pretty stunning as well.

Sophitia's hair looks a bit messy and her feet are slightly unreadable, but that's all I got for complaints. I surely hope you submit more stuff here. I've always been a fan of your npa.

Wow, all around wonderful piece. I'm not a huge fan of the characters (though well done, especially mit's pants) but I'm absolutely loving all of the scenery. Personally I like the puffy grass stuffs, but bob's crit would make it more realistic. Great job and welcome!

everything the wise man below said. great piece. welcøme to the joint.

p.s. your personal website link doesn't work.

Hah, this looks great. I love the background especially. The ocean blending into the beach and background are wonderful. Clouds look lovely as well. I also love the life meter, looks great. Ship portion looks like a platform straight out of a real 2d beat-em up or fighter, which is a good thing.
   However, the green hills/moldy boulders closer to the viewer(mid-ground, I guess) have some strange texture; they almost look like green clouds.  Maybe some more speckling or dithering may help give it the mossy type feel. Also, the characters seem too Anime-ish for me, with skinny long bodies, and whatnot.
   But all in all, 3d to 2d mock ups should be treated with love and praise, and this is no different. Excellent demake, here.

P.S. you need to submit more artz here...we'll lurve you for it...

great job...I like ++++    In my favs
