There is one potential problem I see with sprites being allowed. There are only a handful of people who actually do sprites here (read: just smash) and generally there's lots of sprites for a character. I don't think it would be fair to have, say, Examplehog sprite idle pose win one season, Examplehog sprite idle pose slightly leaning to the left win another one, etc.

A possible solution would be making it so that multiple sprites for the same character in the same style should only be allowed if 1) it's because they're later included in an extensive sheet which gets nominated for it, or 2) the second sprite has enough new stuff going on for it. Examplehog idle and Examplehog doing an amazing attack animation may be different enough, after all!

What do you guys think about this?
