I had to take a little break from this due to having some family come visit me, but I still plan to get this started up official next month.
couple of things:
Because I couldn't think of a better/less stupid name for this thing, I was gonna try calling it :
"The Change-Up, Fighting game of the month" or "monthly fighter"
Any objections?
Also since this isn't a competition and we are not nominating games the same way we do Shmup of the month, we will still need a host to handle this every month. Basically someone to keep track of who is using who, and who was challenged to use who, and how far they got (beat 2 guys, 3, etc or 1cc). I'll take the first month, but I don't wanna get stuck being in charge every month, so volunteers would be appreciated
and finally for the month of May, I recall COTA getting several nominations, I believe World Heroes got a few mentions too, though I don't recall which one, so what'll be? 1,2,Jet,Perfect? I'm also open to one more game if everyone else wants it, or we could stick with 2.
I'll start the official thread on thursday.
I was kind of thinking it could go down like this:
people can post in the thread to "sign in" for the month, kind of like an attendance. just basically say you wanna play one or all of the games, then tell us who you normally use or character by play style (i.e. Ryu/Ken moves). Then other members (even those not participating) can suggest characters to try. The participant can then decide from the suggestions who to use as long as it's a different character than their normal routine. The suggestions can be based on what other members like, or think you might like, or maybe a good but underrated character. If someone suggests a character who is not easy to play or perhaps slow (like Dhalsim) it could be considered a Challenge, for example:
Other Member: Mugi, I
Challenge you to use Dhalsim and Juggernaut on Xmen vs SF
Me: wow FML. alright here goes.
how does that sound?
