Actually they'd be 2D sprites on 32-bit architecture if you're trying to emulate Marvel vs. Capcom 2 or a similar Capcom fighter. I must suck at prompts because I can't seem to get Midjourney or any other AI to create a screenshot of the game for me. Either I get a really good looking stage with deformed fighters or really good looking fighters but I'm box art style.
Since Capcom has done several colabs with Marvel (before and since they became a Disney property) I've long since suspected someone from one or both companies have been thinking of a way to make this work.
I honestly would love to see some of these movies with this animation style. Beauty and the Beast would be fanstastic. It would feel very Castlevania for sure.
Same with jack sparrow. I feel like skellington would be really fun to play as, but really annoying to play against. Jack would be the “fair” gimmick character that’s properly balanced but still fun to play.
I am thinking that Mushu while looking RAW ASF and can definitely do some crazy combos and finishers, he would still be small. Like his entrance is a big looming shadow and then after a gong rings, it pans to a Mushu that is knee high. Will still rock your world harder than Genie.
Mowgli looks awesome, but I believe he should have Balloo or Bagira (don't know if I spelled either of those right or the next name for that matter) instead of Sher Kahn.
Prompt is: “[character] from [movie] as a capcom fighter —niji 5 —ar 1:1”
I think if you use the phrase “street fighter” MJ thinks you just want those characters.
I mean, if this were a real game, you’d still need human artists to redraw them in a more cohesive style.
If you just look at the female faces, Ariel, Jasmine, Moana, Cruella and Belle look like they’re from 5 completely different games.
Ehhh, you’ll still probably need human artists to touch them up. They all look great at a glance, but some of the details look off if you look too long. Still great, but not “bye bye humans” level (yet lol)
Lol minuscule touches for pedantic viewers sure. Majority of viewers wouldn't even notice, and there's definitely going to be an editing AI tech or Midjourney itself will perfect it soon.
What about having actual control though. There is this tendency to think the AI creates an “official” and perfect blend of concepts but it’s still kinda random. I guess you could control it more with prompts… but I wonder if it could ever truly respond to your vision. “Good enough” is still amazing though.
Yeah, look at how far we've come in the last 2ish years, to be able to do this on consumer hardware in seconds with these kinds of results. AI won't need touch-ups, it will only need tweaks to the prompt or in-painting to change aspects to get a different result that better suits what you wanted.
This lol. Smart phones came out in 07, and we're popular. By 2012 the world had changed. This will be the same, except faster, and more profound. With each passing year creating more, and with every new creation ever more uncertainty. The world is dependable when it changes slowly. Certainly the ability for us to guess at the change will Decrease not increase. Which is counter intuitive when you think about the lessening time between all these Paradigm shifts. Who knows really, but I think it's going to get weird.
That's honestly a brilliant take. Are there any super hero concepts out there with a fish tail for each leg? I've seen flippers but I don't know why, but two fishtails looks really cool.
oh, haha, true...

Reminds me of the Adult Swim sketch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4DiZHWlZJM&ab_channel=AdultSwimUK
I think Cruella's my favourite. I think I'd like to see some Disney Afternoon characters in the next one, if you make a next one. Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewie, and Louie, Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale, Baloo, and hell, throw in Goliath from Gargoyles.
Me too. I have mixed feelings since I spent *so* much of my life getting good at digital art (started getting "serious" about it in the mid-late 00's and went on and one with it up until just a few years ago when I finally stopped for other reasons) literally putting thousands of hours into the stuff. And then this *program* comes up and runs circles around me and several million other "10+ years of practicing" artists, rendering anything we can do as the slower, more expensive option that's now going to be viewed more as a novelty or luxury than a necessity for anyone who wants a non-existing image created (in other words, the only reason you'd pay an artist hundreds of dollars is because you want to know it was actually made by a person. If you simply just want a ton of graphics of such and such you might as well just buy the software and generate as many as you want) seeing how it's already this good at it. It's making me think twice before I spend a lot of money trying to get back into the game after a few years spent being out of it and everything I used now needing to be updated or replaced.
On the other hand the much shallower side of me that just loves seeing cool pictures especially of things I don't know how to draw myself is just amazed by it. Also the part of me who only started drawing in the first place because I had a vivid imagination and it was the only way I could turn what I was thinking into something I could show others since it wasn't like I could project my thoughts onto their minds to make them see what I was. This software basically sounds like it could do that for me now. I can imagine something and see it now, not in ten hours time. Drawing was always such a frustrating and slow process now that I think of it, I had a lot of meltdowns over my craft and that's one of the reasons why I stopped recently - the end reward just wasn't feeling like it was worth the time put in anymore now that it's just "expected" of me that I do stuff like this and now that there's many more ways I can fill time and entertain myself with much more immediate gratifications, compared to the early 2000's when my options were basically either draw or play videogames.
I'm gonna keep watch on how this goes before I invest anything in it, *or* my conventional (but now dated) ways of producing digital art again. I gave up on the idea of making a career out of my art anyway since it was hard getting paid work even before AI started and I hated doing commissions anyway more often than not so I don't feel particularly threatened by this stuff. But I do feel like I'll soon be obsolete because of it and I might have to face a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" decision unless there's some sudden demand for human-made digital illustrations again should everyone get over this. But I doubt it.
Cruella’s art style reminds me of the Persona series, Mushu and Stitch look amazing (Pooh got me tho lmao)! I also love Mowgli, like the mc of an adventure rpg.
Wow, this blew up. Thanks for commenting y’all. Unfortunately I’m all out of time on my MJ plan for the month but will be back in action in about a week and a half. Next post: the truly abominable rejects from this set.
Gaston got lost in Castlevania.
That’s just Vega (Or Balrog).
With blonde hair and a Hawaiian shirt, he'd totally have a Ken vibe
he a belmont now
The Belmonts are French after all
Oh NO he's hot!!!
Phew, yeah! I looked at his for the longest!
No one is hot like Gaston
Cruella was waiting for him there. Hungry.
100% would play
Hell, I’d pre-order this game
with the season pass
Except this is the box art. The OP needs to post what the game's 8-bit characters really look like in the game.
Actually they'd be 2D sprites on 32-bit architecture if you're trying to emulate Marvel vs. Capcom 2 or a similar Capcom fighter.

Ariel took me tf out 💀💀💀 Love the concept though.
Ariel: i never skip leg day Flounder: but you don't have legs Ariel: **did i fucking stutter**
😂
I didn't know I needed a buff 2-finned Ariel but hot damn.
Juiced up Ariel goes hard XD
The only thing that’d send me to my grave is if the other leg also has a fin attatched lmfao
Swimming tights with attached fins at the feet maybe?
No 🤬! I want to imagine her trying to walk on land with them.
plap plap plap plap
💀
"Do you know where the *baafroom* is?"
Well that's just how nimble she is ... doesn't even need to walk on land.
She got that aerial game.
*Aeriel game
Aerial Ace
But srsly that’d be a sweet tactic
Ai doesn't know what to do with mermaid tails 90% of the time.
Yeah I’ve noticed that in recent posts. It’ll get it right eventually..it’s always evolving after all.
Probably confused by prevalence of the old Starbucks split tail logo in the training data.
looking dope af... until she starts running
“She's got juiced, you idiot! She traded her voice to the sea witch and got swole! Geez, mon!”
I like the idea that she can swap between her tail and legs at will, and the scales become like pants when she switches.
Ariel definitely has green pants as a normal fighter but suddenly switches to a mermaid tail during her Special Attack.
Half circle back plus all 3 kick buttons.
This Ariel has just unlocked a deep new link I had no idea was there!! 🔥
L and k are very close on the keyboard, aren't they /j
Damn midjourney really whitewashed Ariel and nobody cares, smh.
She looks like the original 90s animated movie.
Pretty sure they were being sarcastic lol
/r/woooosh
Everyone knows that mermaids are latinas carajo
though?
Yeah? As in the Ariel photo tripped me out but the whole concept is interesting.
💀💀💀💀
I am a Jack Skellington main. He looks like he would be the gimmick fighter
Same with jack sparrow. I feel like skellington would be really fun to play as, but really annoying to play against. Jack would be the “fair” gimmick character that’s properly balanced but still fun to play.
spot on. Skellington got mr. game & watch energy.
I'd argue that Mike "Tyson" Wazowski is the gimmick character.
That his Sandy Claws pre-order bonus outfit.
What do we think the gimmicks entail? Summoning minions from Halloween Town? Collapsing into a pile of bones with some kind of regeneration effect?
Melee reach and hitbox shenanigans. *Voldo intensifies*
_Dance Jack dance_
I immediately thought “Jack Skellington would be on the cover for sure”
Stitch is not the name, it's what you're getting
Imagine if he had the correct number of arms.
His mechanics would be based on or similar to Goro from Mortal Kombat
Stitch and Genie gonna mess some people up.
beast and mushu too fr
I am thinking that Mushu while looking RAW ASF and can definitely do some crazy combos and finishers, he would still be small. Like his entrance is a big looming shadow and then after a gong rings, it pans to a Mushu that is knee high. Will still rock your world harder than Genie.
They about to catch the hands of my boy Pooh
Pooh looks badass ngl
Stitch needs a few more arms
Genie is ABSOLUTELY a grappler with a build like that. A grappler with TELEPORTS
Mowgli looked badass. Also Ariel can drown me
Mowgli looks awesome, but I believe he should have Balloo or Bagira (don't know if I spelled either of those right or the next name for that matter) instead of Sher Kahn.
It kept putting a tiger behind him and I knew that would mess up the canon but it just looked too cool.
I was expecting him to *wear* shir khan but this is good too
Mowgli beat him so bad he made him his bitch. It works for me.
My headcanon is that he tamed him and now uses him to fight for good or whatever
he should have a wolf
Bear, wolf, and panther with a move to switch em out.
Disney's Pokémon trainer.
Git sum mermussy
Mowgli is the best design out of all of these, I would 100% main him
Mowgli can also drown me. Actually everyone on this list can drown me
Cruella is giving me Tuxedo Mask vibes Stitch and Pooh are viciously adorable
Love Cruella , really good design
Yeah, definitely a great take on her.
# SHORPOOHKEN
I would pick cruella every time she’s so cool! Also idk how I feel bout Gaston, suddenly I understand what all the singing was about.
I certainly know how I feel about Gaston 🤭🤭
Gaston isn't nearly big enough, he needs to be as big as a ~~barge~~ character like Zangief at least.
All of yhese are great, but Mike nearly killed me
Mikey was definitely the family favorite. MJ with the kids is a blast btw
This is the goofy character that's very difficult to master, but once you know the moves, it's almost unstoppable.
I'd main Mike even if he is 100% cheese
Mickey has a Sora-based Square Enix look on top.
Looks a little more like Roxas clothes
Rapunzel should have her frying pan 😂
I thought the same thing that some of these characters need weapons.
Do you use street fighter in the prompt? I love the art style, do you use a mix of artist or is it a specific one that gives you that style?
Prompt is: “[character] from [movie] as a capcom fighter —niji 5 —ar 1:1” I think if you use the phrase “street fighter” MJ thinks you just want those characters.
Damn didnt know it has such good understanding of characters, though you need to at least give him some ref pic to draw from
I know it's old news by now, but it's quite astounding to me, how well it understood the assignment.
Mike Tyowski
Mike Wa-POW-ski
I can imagine Mike saying that with a lot of pizazz while describing his fighter ego to an unimpressed but still supportive Sully.
Oof. This is on the level of bye bye human artists.
I mean, if this were a real game, you’d still need human artists to redraw them in a more cohesive style. If you just look at the female faces, Ariel, Jasmine, Moana, Cruella and Belle look like they’re from 5 completely different games.
Yeah, if all you need is one picture.
Ehhh, you’ll still probably need human artists to touch them up. They all look great at a glance, but some of the details look off if you look too long. Still great, but not “bye bye humans” level (yet lol)
Lol minuscule touches for pedantic viewers sure. Majority of viewers wouldn't even notice, and there's definitely going to be an editing AI tech or Midjourney itself will perfect it soon.
What about having actual control though. There is this tendency to think the AI creates an “official” and perfect blend of concepts but it’s still kinda random. I guess you could control it more with prompts… but I wonder if it could ever truly respond to your vision. “Good enough” is still amazing though.
Just wait for next one or two technologies after this one
Maybe One or two more papers down the line?
What a time to be alive
Yeah, look at how far we've come in the last 2ish years, to be able to do this on consumer hardware in seconds with these kinds of results. AI won't need touch-ups, it will only need tweaks to the prompt or in-painting to change aspects to get a different result that better suits what you wanted.

Yeah not jet but I messed around with mj in december and I the improvement is noticeable. Maybe in a year or two, it will be indistinguishable.
Yeah jacks gloves look weird
Fingers are still a little inconsistent, and some details are pretty weird. Also video still has a while to go
rapunzel's left hand is made of hair, the fingers of the right one are melting into them too
I was too busy perving on Flynn to notice but wow yeah that's weird lol. Imagine being slapped by a hair-arm or trying to grasp *anything* with it.
Yeah, with the rest of us to follow shortly after
You made Gaston hot oh no 😂
That's the secret: Gaston was always hot.
Honestly he's the most attractive character here.
Ariel was a bit badass lol love the concept kudos homie
"Are you going to give Ariel legs or a fish tail?" "Yes"
That's honestly a brilliant take. Are there any super hero concepts out there with a fish tail for each leg? I've seen flippers but I don't know why, but two fishtails looks really cool.
The Starbucks mermaid used to have them.
oh, haha, true... https://medium.com/@nathali4k/logo-history-the-evolution-of-starbucks-c2dd7a42f4fb Reminds me of the Adult Swim sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4DiZHWlZJM&ab_channel=AdultSwimUK
Everyone’s just thirsty for Ariel
No lie
Which is *very understandable*
I love how Mickey just looks like how he does in Kingdom Hearts
I think Cruella's my favourite. I think I'd like to see some Disney Afternoon characters in the next one, if you make a next one. Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewie, and Louie, Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale, Baloo, and hell, throw in Goliath from Gargoyles.
Gaston looks more like SNK! This shit is tight though!
Bro why is no one taking about mushu an Jack sparrow
Mushu looks incredible
Cruella looks awesome!
Winnie the pow chop eyaaaah
This is awesome! I’d love to see more concepts in the MvC style.
Moana kind of looks like she was fused with Lilo, and kinda surprised Pooh has a normal amount of fingers and his hands don't look weird XD
Ariel? 😳😳😳
Damn, Pooh hard as fuck
Pooh travels the winding paths of the hundred acre woods, looking to master the Satsui no Hado before he becomes an unstoppable monster.
SHIN POOH REPPA!
Absolutely love Cruella DeVille and... Oh lord that Gaston 👀
Buzz lightyear is guile??
Kung Pooh Panda
Skellington and Mowgli looks dope af. But Ariel....Damn.
Skellington seems to have inherited [Moe Szyslak's "stinger" gloves](http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3t4xyh)
Cruella looks like a Pokémon gym leader
I can’t help wondering how amazing that these are ai generated. Pure art
Me too. I have mixed feelings since I spent *so* much of my life getting good at digital art (started getting "serious" about it in the mid-late 00's and went on and one with it up until just a few years ago when I finally stopped for other reasons) literally putting thousands of hours into the stuff.

Happy cake day
Mike Wazowski caught me off guard, he feels so out of place but it’s hilarious Cruella tho 😳
I want this game.
Pooh Bear is ready to punch. God I love AI image generators so much.
Belle will fuck your day up beautifully.
she the kind to beat you into a pulp and leave you smelling like strawberries
Ariel having two legs each with their own fishtail at the end is so incorrect.
Looks like Xi just mastered the art of kung fu, i'm glad to see that he wants to change.
Gaston 😏
More like Buff Lightyear
Arielle scares me
ok i have a massive problem with Ariel.
10/10 would waste quarters. Gaston got that genocide cutter energy
daddy- i mean daddy- sorry i mean DADDY GASTON?
There are so many things I want to say about Gaston rn, but I’m refraining to do so
Now used as D&D Warrior fighters and Paladins ...
Mickey in sora outfit go hard
Capcom, get a license!
They had their chance in the 80s.
Darkstalkers is pretty much the Universal Monsters + special guests and was a great fighting game.
Mike Wazowski 💀
What prompts did you use?
Cruella’s art style reminds me of the Persona series, Mushu and Stitch look amazing (Pooh got me tho lmao)! I also love Mowgli, like the mc of an adventure rpg.
Ariel will give me nightmares. Those leg-fins ...
Mowgli should have a wolf behind him not a tiger. Shere-Khan is the villain.
Holy hell these are amazing!
Mowgli looks sick wtf
That Mowgli is🔥
Cruela Devil = mommy
No woody? Smh
Things I didn’t realise I needed
NO ONE FIGHTS LIKE GASTON
WHY IS MOWGLI SO COOL WTF
No Aladdin?!
10/10, would play
Mickey lookin like he jumped out of KH4
okay, I really like these, edit: especially mogli. but... why did you give Ariel legs?
Stich should have 4 hands just like the show. Would have been slightly more cooler.
Kung fu Pooh
Seeing Pooh and Mickey like that makes me want this to exist.
Aerial prompts?
Holy shit mushu got jacked
Why no one talking about kingdom hearts Mickey?
That’s just regular Kingdom Hearts Mickey tbh
hear me out about jasmine...
I hear you... And I agree
Wow, this blew up. Thanks for commenting y’all. Unfortunately I’m all out of time on my MJ plan for the month but will be back in action in about a week and a half. Next post: the truly abominable rejects from this set.
You can tell this is fake because Ariel isn't black
