He also owns Super Smash Bros. Brawl(Which features Sonic). JoeTE plays and records footage of the Sonic games he owns(As well as mainly Pokemon and Smash games). He is also well known for his Sonic spriting skill, his most notable spritesheet being one of Super Sonic in the style of sprites used in Sonic Battle(Seen in the sprite section below). JoeTE's username comes from a shortening of his Personal Character(Who is based off of Dragonball Z, but was originally based off of Sonic characters), Joe the Enigma(Joe T.E. for short).

Sonic Spriting
Spriting, mostly of Sonic characters, is another internet hobby of JoeTE. He has made a few sprite sheets(Mainly in Sonic Battle style), and has also helped others in the makings of their own sheets as well. JoeTE is also quite skillful at the use of colors. He sticks to the coloring limitations of the consoles the games he's imitating the style of were on(GBA game sprites being kept to specific color values, and a max of 16 colors). Due to this, he can keep sprite color counts low, and even blend two colors of different shades and hues to resemble a third color. Making sprites in this way is something not many fan sprite artists do, and JoeTE notes that being able to do this is a good skill to have as Sprite Artists for official game companies(Like Sega) have had to do this for ages. Examples of JoeTE's sprites will be on this article soon.
