So wait, as long as the subject material is Fire Emblem and the sprite meets the size and color requirements, anything is okay?
So I could, like, make some mug of Krom in GBA Kingdom Hearts style, and that'd be fine?
Also, for battle sprites (or, assuming the above supposition is correct, pretty much any sort of full-body representation of the character within the size-limits, including stuff like Street Fighter II style), it says no animation. Does this mean that animation is not required, or that animations are not valid submissions?
