Here are your finalists for the 2013 (2014?) Court-Records Sprite Cup!

Spoiler: Finalists

We hope to have voting open in the next few days. The voting page will have all the submitted sprites for each of these characters, including animations - the above are just samples.

To anyone who submitted but wasn’t selected as a finalist - thank you for entering! We had a lot of great entries this year, and narrowing them down to 16 finalists was easier said than done. Once voting is complete, we’ll be putting all the sprites, including non-finalists, up on C-R for public viewing.
Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!

Wait, where can I find the actual entries? Surely there is more than just a single preview image for each one. Things like say, who made each is important metadata too!

We're currently working out the details of voting for the contest, and once that is decided, the full entries will be posted. However, who made which entry will not be disclosed until voting has finished and the winners have been announced.

Oh wow. I had a feeling I'd have no chance of ever making it in, but by that much... Whatever. I'm sure I'd make the non-finalists look good.

So, sorry if I kind of sound stupid here, but where exactly is this voting page?

It's not up yet; we're still hammering out the final details of how we're going to run voting.

Indeed, all the entries will be displayed, and there were some really strong ones that didn't quite make the cut. Things were very competitive this year!

Meh, at least ya made it to the finals, though after seeing these it's clear why I didn't in a blink of an eye.
My own entry was just...well compared to these it was just...umm.... so plain and DULL... *way to go lack of motivation, ya owe me for this BIG time next year!*

Not sure yet though who to vote. Alba, red headed guy, "prosecutor Apollo", "baggiepipye" and Hugh...I'd say I'll go with one of those.
...and...just as a sideote...Is it just me or would white tie look great on that Hugh? Well, too late for that and I guess nobody really cares but...Just old nagging habit.

...I dunno...The female on the lowest right...I'm still going back and forth with it.
I mean granted, it looks just zintastic and all but... I'm not sure if I'd truly find her AA...uni...vers...ish. :ron:

...Yup-yup...Who to vote....that's gonna be a puzzle worth of lots of piccarats.

Weeeeeeeel not to name any for first minute I was thinking the same too but...there is a reason they were chosen to the final over the other works.
And by that I mean I'm trusting to our jurys decisions to rate them higher than the others, especially since we haven't seen the "leftovers" yet, aka runer up works so...Yeah.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who thought the same. I just found that two of the entries cannot truly be considered "sprites," even though they are both very good pictures. :) They aren't bad or anything, they just don't fit the ideal "sprite" guidelines, you know? Hopefully, the judges picked them with good reason! They must be amazing to trump the other entries! :D

I'm not privy to the voting discussions (yes, even us staff are shut out from the contest judging area unless we know the password) but I'm guessing that they're not holding to an uber-strict definition of sprite.

Regarding the latest "what is considered a sprite by judges" discussion, as Gerkuman has deduced, we weren't going *specifically* for "would this fit in an actual game?", although we always asked ourselves our question, and the sprites which answered that question got much more points than those who didn't. That's the whole point of the category-based judging we did: we considered Creativity, Composition and Style as the defining factors. This ability to seem like an actual AA sprite fits into the Style category.

Let me give you a good example:

I voted for an entry that wasn't AA-sized, but to me, it looked like it could perfectly fit as an AA sprite in an HD AA game. I didn't want it to fit in a 256x192 screenshot, you know what I mean? I just wanted it to look as closely as possible to what the Capcom character designers did for the AA series. Of course we weren't aiming for ULTRA PROFESSIONALISM, and we weren't going to turn this into a "prettiest drawing" contest. We were going for sprites that would fit in the Ace Attorney universe, both for the characters they visually represented and the way they were composed. And in my opinion this sprite succeeded at all that. This sprite made it into the finalists. Not because I decided to, but because, through a voting process, us judges decided it would make the finals. Simple as that.

On the other hand, there was another sprite that also went the "HD" route, but I did not vote for it. Not because it wasn't AA-sized, at all -- if that had been a judging criteria, I wouldn't have voted for the one I mentioned earlier. No, I didn't choose it between my top 10, not even top 15, but for a very good reason: it did not look AT ALL like an AA sprite. It was a very good sprite, but it belonged in The World Ends With You, not Ace Attorney. This sprite did not make it into the finalists -- again, not because I decided to, but because the judging process resulted in it not making the cut. I'm sorry for the sprite's creator, because they obviously have talent, but that's just how it ended up. If they "learn" the "lesson" that is to be "learned" from its exclusion from the finals, I am absolutely certain that on the next Cup they'll make it to the finals, and fight the top spots.

Bottom line is, I know which two sprites you're referring to when you say they "don't belong". And I wholly disagree. In my opinion, and judging by the fact they're finalists, in all of us judges' opinion, to which we arrived by voting and reaching a consensus, they excelled, in one way or another, in all three categories: Creativity, Composition and Style.

I cannot stress this enough: THIS was our judging criteria, and THIS alone. And it is supposed to be, also, the criteria you guys go by when public voting starts... which, btw, should be very soon, as we're finalizing details.

Well, there were some great big-sized entries earlier in the Sprite Cup as well, so I don't really see it as a problem.

...Though, these entries. If there's a public voting, which should I vote for...

Cabanela? Pearl? Battler? Maya? Apollo? Klavier? Trucy? Hugh? Butterfly Lady?

I am so conflicted... ;_;
