Asking for Suggestions with Archives of Mugen

I'm not sure if you guys know or not. But for those who don't, I want to create "Archives in Mugen". Now while I don't post here often, I have been in the field for years, and that should be a good qualification to do these videos. Here is what the intro will look like. Short, Sweat, and straight to the point. http://youtu.be/_QlGtToKums?t=1m25s

In a way, it would be like Ashram's old "This Week in Mugen" series, but leaving out the yelling, and making it as professional as possible.

He're is an example of what it will look like.

-On the top-left there will be the video showing off the fight(s)

-The bottom-left will display the character portraits and names. Depending on the fight, additional characters will be presented in the smaller boxes, and will transition by the round.

-On the far right will be a portrait, name, and author of the character that is being reviewed. In addition, they will be scored against criteria like gameplay, ease of use, balance, etc. (albeit, I would probably remove gameplay, as it is redundant) They will receive their "scores" (alphabetical and percentage) once the round or fight finishes.

-And at the end of the video, all of the characters will be compared to each other, and the "best of the week" will be displayed.


With that said, I have no means to have bias with these videos. I will not purposely bash, nor hype any kind of character. The character will only be scored against a criteria. For an example, if the character is a Kula clone or another Ryu, but is very solid, I would give them a "F" in Uniqueness, but an "A" in Balance. As I said before, i'm trying to make this as professional as possible.

Also, all characters that will be presented in that week will be taken from here at MFG. For both Your and Found releases in WinMugen and Mugen 1.0/1.1. Due to the popularity and resourcefulness of this website.

Now what i'm asking here is for some help. Is there anything you would want to see for Archives in Mugen? Any suggestions to make it better? Criticisms? Because it's not a video just for me, but for everyone who enjoys Mugen, and any kind of feed back would be very much appreciated.

I'll tell you what I told Ashram, this kind of project demands a team more than an individual, as almost everything barring bugs and glitches and shit is subjective.  I think your setup is a bit oversaturated and could use some cleaning up as well.  I think you can ditch the gray stuff for simple text overlaied onto the video, or make it transparent so it's easier on the eyes.

Well I can make the bars smaller, now that I think about it, I can make the bar slide in and out of the video for each round/fight. I'll keep that in mind.

Now about that team aspect, I was planning on the general consensus of what people think of the character within that topic, (along with myself). Maybe that will work. But for a "team" team... I am not sure how that will work out. I am worried people would become disinterested or simply not care for the videos any more and will leave. I mean, I could set up a topic like this and try to get people's input per week, but they may not have tried out all the charcters of the week, nor feel like doing these per week. While I understand what you're coming from, I don't think that will work out too well for my, nor anyone's benefit.

While I will only work on this once a week, making a video with this kind of recording and editing, takes a lot of work and time. I don't want these videos to be dictated because someone on the team isn't as dedicated as I am.
