because brendan is versus to so brendan sprite must face-to-face, like you (on left side) is facing right, and opponent is on facing left, in you screenshot brendan is on facing right not "facing left" ....
@8BitWalugi: ow yes, my friends is more better than this, since i not smart on sprinting, i can't say it simple, yeah i know is too simple and look flat... (sorry)...
and about eye color, is weird ...
but you OW is awesome
but on mugshot sprite or trainer frontsprite is need tweaking i think.... but what about backsprite trainer?
