When in a battle, the sprites that are used for the characters and enemies.. they arent hand drawn, and they look like pre renders or something. Almost like claymation figures. Anyone know exatly what this technique is? How is it done? Is it the same thing they did for Killer Instinct? Thanks in advance for advancing my gamer education.

They're just low-res sprites. They could have used a one of a myriad of different techniques. Probably hand-drawn, the colored in and shaded with computers, probably not too differently than with KI.
...Except that Golden Sun is actually an admirable game.
And your panties.... what color are they?
Erm... *smacks self
:bang:
They are light blue with little flowe..... uh, nothing I mean, uh... nevermind.

Look like pre-renders to me.
So what do they do then? Pre render a detailed computer image and then just capture it in diffrent stages of animation?

Yes, that seems to be the way Camelot has preferred to do the sprites in their Shining and Shining-related games since after the Genesis days. Shining Wisdom, Shining the Holy Ark, Shining Force 3, and now Golden Sun. I can't say I'm a fan of it. Prerendered sprites have a habit of not blending very well with any background. Plus, I don't really like the "startled" animation that every single sprite like that seems to have in every one of Camelot/Sonic Software Planning's games.
