Would it be a good idea to include more video links to the wiki's? Like:
1.) character specific tutorials
2.) character specific combo videos
3.) match videos (featuring a top player using a certain character)
4.) examples of game mechanics (like the video linked explaining the jump system for the KOF2002UM wiki)?
Also, this can be used to link to a direct time in video: http://youtubetime.com/
Any thoughts??
I'm definitely down for this, seeing as some characters do better than others when fighting particular characters because of certain strats... Plus certain "anomalies" occur when certain characters fight also... I don't know of any character-specific combos though...
I'm all for any amount of visual aid to help people learn the characters. It's really crazy how far we've come in the information age and there's no reason we shouldn't take advantage of it. People should be learning 3x or 4x faster than we did back in the days when e-mail was consider super privileged high-tech.
- Instead of P and K we use A/C and B/D, respectively.
This is the only one I kinda disagree on, I think the easiest notation to read while being equally concise should be utilized. I think P/K/A/B/C/D all have their places. Let's say a combo needs a specific strength like Liz's dp+C into dp+A, we should obviously indicate which one. However, if we're talking about Ex moves (perhaps this pertains more so to XIII) it gets real cluttered listing it as Ex qcb+AC (vs Ex qcb+P) especially when you're listing longer combos. Furthermore, sometimes you want to indicate that a combo can use either button A or C so leaving it as P makes more sense instead of writing out A or C every time. Lastly, I like to also list "DM" and "Ex" because I found when I'm glancing at longer combos, I want to know how many stocks this combo uses so scan for the "DM"s and "Ex"s but that's me, it might be overkill.
In short, it doesn't really matter when you're listing out their movesets with A/C instead of P, but when you're listing long HD combos you want to be a concise as possible without omitting pertinent information.
What do you guys feel about this?
