SPRITE WIRING: X uses punch atlas; Y mid punch and Z high punch currently reuse punch frames; A low kick and C high kick have custom sprite sheets for all seven; B mid kick has dedicated sheets for six (Purpledroid is temporary). Jump, guard, walk, dash, air attacks, throw and headbutt remain provisional artwork. THROW ART: MATCHED plays fighter-specific eight-step takedowns for all seven fighters against the actual selected opponent. Five fighters use isolated beta PNG frames; Katiana now uses her existing grab/shove and crouch action frames; Von Kaiser uses his existing grab and leg-trip action frames. Both complete the same eight-step synchronized throw without a ghost opponent. Tap to cycle MATCHED → CLASSIC → TRAINING QA. TRAINING QA shows the generic black-armored dummy and is not production opponent art. Image load failures use classic fallback. Six fighter flat-KO poses are beta-transparent PNG cutouts; Nighthunter still uses a temporary pose, as John Glover is a different character.

Private test: six mismatched v18 kick sheets removed. Y uses original full-body character sprites. C high kicks connected for all seven; Silhouette and Von Kaiser C now check all eight frames, keep floor alignment, cap scale changes and fall back to the earlier atlas if needed. A low kicks connected for all seven; B mid kicks use original-character sprite animations for Nighthunter, ReForge, WhiteSkull, Silhouette, Von Kaiser (beta), and Katiana; Purpledroid still uses temporary animation. Rolling Punch and Handstand Kick use grounded placeholders pending dedicated frames. ▼+C: the seven unique sweeps. New crouch attacks use procedural motions until dedicated frames are finished.
