Was always a fan of Karate Kid. Happy to see this fake. The pose of Kano's sprite is excellent and I like the Kreese "cameo."
The fire effects are magnificent and so does Johnny's clothing. Very realistic looking. Unfortunately it makes Kano look like crap. I would have touched up his sprite just so he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
There are, however, some things that bother me.
1. The shadows are cast on the wrong side (the moon is behind them)
2. The name text for Johnny doesn't match Kano. This is an easy fix.
3. Kreese's sprite is too large
4. Johnny's Standing leg is turning the wrong way. It's not pivoted like a human's leg would be.
5. The skin tones on Johnny's sprite don't match at all.
6. Johnny's face is smushed.
7. Your pit platform h as two different shades (the farthest right is the darkest).
