Didn't Sic graphics do this already with their amalgem Charecters?
They were hardly the first ones to do something like that. Regardless of originality, this still looks pretty cool.
I'm not 100% that the stage previews would be able to work quite like that, though. They have to be added as a single font file, which IIRC limits the number of colors that can be displayed. You might end up with something really terrible looking due to color loss there. No way to know how it would look without trying it, though.

Talking about the character stats: I just figured having stats like that would help to fill up some of that "empty space" that was previously being filled with a second big portrait. I mean, if we didn't want to use the stats idea, we could always put a move list in that space too. Or hell, we could have stats on the character select screen, and then put the movelist on the vs screen. It's all on the same 90000,1 sprite, it's just a matter of where you put the different "pieces" and then where you tell the game to place the portrait on each screen. ;-) I don't think color loss is going to be too much of a problem either, assuming you use the same colors for the stats and movelists on each portrait.

I just figured that moving things around a bit looked a little better. It's all personal preference, I suppose.
If you wanna tell me where to position stuff and give me the 9000,1 portraits, I can try to add the stats in photoshop for you guys.
EDIT - Now that I think more about it, I guess without the actual numbers, the stats would be more speculation than anything, but at least it would look rad.

It's more for aesthetics than statistics anyway.

well like I said, considering I don't really have hard numbers to go on, I'll probably just play around with each character and then speculate.

I agree, and then if there are any that are really off I can do the minor edits. BTW, which catgories did you decide on?

The same four that I used in the mockup. Vitality (HP), Speed (mobility), Power (Damage output), and range (reach with attacks). I'm going to PM one to you tomorrow so you can put it in the game and see how it looks, before I make a bunch. this way If I have to fix anything or make any adjustments It will be less backtracking.
It's funny, actually. I already found a weird bug and an insane combo with amingo by doing this "playing and speculating." :D

Cool, sounds like the right idea.
