Updated spiel:

I was in need of some specific pieces and artsets for use in semi commercial environments and although I had spent some time in my younger days collecting said pieces, I didn’t feel comfortable using my own collection in situations where they could get damaged by the viewing public.



I decided that I would start recreating what I was able to easily for my own use but it felt only fair to allow for them to be used by other enthusiasts given that it’s the communities contributions that has allowed me to find some of these items in the first place.



Where Japanese language was originally used, I have tried to translate using original sources where possible (i.e. manuals for home releases or otherwise internationally released pamphlets/flyers). If no such “official” translation existed for the specific artwork, I’ve had to resort to ye olde translation apps, of course then my own discretion has been used in cases of unintelligible gibberish.



Artwork has been as faithfully recreated as possible but I’m not a professional, nor do I claim to be.

Original art sources have been used (eg character art, logo’s etc), wherever possible these have been the largest examples found on the net, in some cases unfortunately some upscaling was necessary when examples weren’t a high enough resolution.

Some artistic license has been used in some items which suited my needs!



All items linked in the Dropbox are scalable PDF’s which will print at 300dpi at A4 or A3.



Movestrips were initially recreated with small cabinets in mind but I’m working through some sets that were originally designed for larger cabinets.



Please feel free to do whatever you want with these, redistribute them, print them for yourself, your friends - whatever! Just probably don’t print them to sell, that would be a bit gross!



Anyway, enjoy! I’m constantly working on new shit so check back every now and then and I’ll have probably updated something, even if I haven’t updated the thread!

Original PSD’s are available upon request but they’re beefy files so I’m not uploading them to the Dropbox!

Some Examples:

As well as an assortment of custom artwork that is cab specific (although can be printed to suit your needs theoretically)

I'm currently working through Neo Geo MVS Mini Marquees and have around 35 (or so) currently completed, including but not limited to:
King of Fighters 2001
King of Fighters 2002
King of Fighters 2003
King of Fighters 96
King of Fighters 97
King of Fighters 98
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2

Metal Slug, 2, X
Matrimelee
Rage of the Dragons
Waku Waku 7
etc.

Mini Marquees are the same dimensions as the originals, just need printing on whatever you can print them on, again in 300dpi.

Please don't just download and sell them, that's a grody move, print and use for whatever else you like though.

More Examples:

MOVESTRIP MVC2 - 2-1.png
MOVESTRIP SSF2 CHARACTER-1.png
MOVESTRIP STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3 - 2-1.png
MOVESTRIP STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3 - 3-1.png
MOVESTRIP STREET FIGHTER III 3RD STRIKE-1.png

Awesome work thankyou!
I appreciate this. I am after most of the Capcom movestrips and they are proving tough to locate!

Hi all,
I’ve redrawn art for some games I couldn’t find decent scans of or were only originally Japanese.
Figured I’d give you guys a link to my Dropbox so you can print them off if you fancy or whatever.
I’m constantly working on these so check back in a while and there might be more.
Marquees are printable up to A3 with little to no noticeable artefacting.
Move strips are in two sizes, small ones have been sized for the cabinets I’ve been converting (animal kaiser cabinets), larger ones are same height but slightly longer.

These might not be within the scope of your work but SvC Chaos did have one 'official' mini marquee released through arcadeshock.com way back in the day. It isn't the prettiest thing in my opinion but it was officially created through SNKUSA (at least according to my memory).

Old scan I have, not the best, but it's all I have

I’ll have a go at redrawing it. I’ll try and find the official Terry art, that would be the only problem I could see with getting it redone
 
Updated a few more items have been added
Hyper Street Fighter II, some third strike and super street fighter IV have been added

Figured if you hadn’t seen, I had updated a while ago with a remake of this. Should be in the Dropbox under mini marquees
 
(Moved Thread to new one)

The idea here about generating images is as follows. This is just an outline to make it clear. This will help Photoshop creators create new images over the top. It's not official images, it's to retrieve information. It is not considered collecting. Before they throw a bonfire for no reason.

While I agree, an upscaling process can be useful in a multitude of situations (and as above I state that I use adobe's upscale tool on character assets), given the state of some of the scans out there, it's usually just easier to start from scratch rather than try and edit an image pixel by pixel after the upscale process.
I think that the negative response you'll have gotten (including from me - sorry) is not towards your information, it's rather the the unsolicited nature of that info.
I implore you to start a thread if you have some info, there's no need to bump this one to the top if you have an idea - thankyou for bumping it, but there's no need.
If you want to talk about the merits of upscale or whatever, feel free to talk to me via messenger?
Just my 2c

Just trying to help.
I'm only using this for putting on mameui list. Until there is not good quality, this is the best we can get.

(My threads as been changed to a new one to respect the users).

My goal is to put the .jpg file on arcadeui/mameui/canamame.

Seimitsu Street Fighter panels redrawn and rescaled for use on VEWLIX 2l14b panels.
Super is a bit scrappy, I’ll get around to resolving the scrappy S and reupload but take ‘em if you want ‘em.
