Sprite edit

A sprite edit (also known as a headswap and not to be confused with spriteswap) is a character that uses another character's spritesheet, but edited to look more like the character at hand. Sprite edits are common when making characters that look similar to other characters, whether it be that they are both muscular, wear similar clothing, or have a similar body shape. Although sprite edits generally have similar sprites to another character, the actual coding and gameplay can differ quite greatly, making sprite edits more respectable amonst the M.U.G.E.N community than spriteswaps.
