Ok first step in
Creating your own animated gifs, is to get Paint Shop Pro 7 or 6, with
Animation shop 2 or 3. (Paintshop Pro 7 comes with Animation shop 3), and
(Paint shop Pro 6 comes with Animation shop 2). Photoshop is good, but
it is very complicated for many people.

Now with fireballs, they can be one of the hardest things
to accomplish.
Small blastes are easy, but make sure you have an explosion
to back it
up, because sparks can not be used in this field. Big
fireballs can be
a very serious problem, with the superbutaden 2 and 3
blast, you most have
a beginning and ending of a blast. You can't just have
the beginning it
must have both parts. Once you've done that its really
nothin to it, its
just the fireballfights. You must use proper sparks,
for when the fireball
is clashing, and making a fireball fight with superbutaden
2 and 3 sprites
can be difficult. The angle at which the fireball meets
must be equal or
the sprite (for the fireball fight) will not look right.
Thats basically
it for making battles, but when making long battles that
include over 200
frames, try to make the size 256 width and 224 height,
anything smaller
is okay
