How to make dialogues in the style of SvC: Chaos?

[Trinitronity]

I had got the idea from Nestor's full game "Capcom Fighting All-Stars", though I want to use the explod method instead. I want them to work like that:
The screen fades in, with the chars doing their intros, while there's a display for each char, and when the chars finished their intro and when both displays disappears (the display either disappear when you select the "OK" option and press start or after 5 seconds of inactivity), the dialogue will start (which will be different for every char). When you press down (it was originally supossed to be the start button again), the dialogue progresses to the next line.
I already tried to ask at MFG, but I got a very unhelpful comment from Cyanide:

You cannot do the press start method. Pressing anything other than a direction key will cancel the intros.

It's still just explod with triggers on enemyname. There is no template, you're just showing an explod. You can make it type out sentences or simply display the text, there is NOTHING stopping you doing an explod.

I'm asking this, 'cause this is the FIRST time I work with dialogues, and the full game just cannot work without the dialogues, since it's very story-heavy.
Could someone help me there? Thanks in advance!

You didn't come back with further questions. Nor did you explain all this in so much detail on guild. Nor did anyone know if you'd done ANYTHING yourself so far. You've asked a few questions. Have you used explod before? How about the p2name trigger? How about simply starting with what you know and expanding it. Here is the first step for you.

Create the dialogue you need. Add it to mugen. Make it display during an intro. We will expand from that when you have actually done it.

And yes, i frequent many places.

I have udes explods before, but just for basic things. Making dialogues is already a higher level.
However, I found a similar code , where text appears (though as a SF4-styled winquote):

Aside from their doco on the variables being a bit incorrect as it's 19062 not 18062, that's still just a load of explods and some pre-populated values for you to fill in. However without overwriting from the character it was out of re-creating it is a bastard. That's also winquote, not intro dialogue. They haven't given you any alignments or any idea of what many of the things really look like. So you really do need to continue with creating it yourself (don't worry, this is far simpler than you think)

So to continue. Draw up your dialogue and use explod to display it in mugen. That's the start, get that working inside the intro state. We can then move onto placement and everything else. I can even give you continuation of the intro if you're happy for it to be a direction key rather than start.

Okay. I let you know the results.
