At first I thought maybe the others weren't able to read sarcasm, but wait, you're serious? Reu says, "hi."
What are you talking about? You're not making any sense to me.

right, that's why you used the exact same effects at first and credited him in your readme
I've never credited him in my readme for effects! Lol. And you're right, I did use a few of the same effects: the power charge effects, the fire effects, and the blood sparks. You exaggerate, my friend. However, I was on about PotS' system, not PotS' effects. PotS used a nice type of effects that I wasn't able to make at the time, so I used his as a nO0o0ob.

Should I make a separate thread for Warusaki3's copycats? Nah, just messing with you. Lol. ;)

I don't see why everyone is getting so worked up about this. It's just a name, right?

I would literally ROFL if someone created a felicia with censor bars covering her naughty parts (inspired by what those people did to her MVC3 picture)

Yes Capcom, you shall censor our love.

PotS is an asshole. All of my future characters will be Anti-PotS-estilo.

Um, Home32, I'm pretty sure the posting gimmicks are ONLY for General Discussion, especially if they have nothing to contribute outside of there.

Why is there a p.o.t.s. standard? I mean... he wasn't THAT good of a coder.
Probably the best way to describe this would be through analogy.

Think of the classic comedy movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Most critics find this to be one of the funniest movies ever made (I like Life of Brian better but to each his own), and the reason for this is that the humor is classic Monty Python. The basic setup is that the jokes are very simple, yet are drawn out and in essence become hilarious.

Now think about Eric Idle's Broadway Musical adaptation, Spamalot. The problem with the musical is that it becomes self-aware of the movie's jokes and in many cases spells them out to the audience. Rather than focus on the content of the humor, the audience gets a laugh out of the mere references to the movie.

Even though it is clearly inferior to the original, it is highly profitable because people don't care about the quality of the humor, because to them, the knee-jerk reactions to familiar content are what drive the show. This also accounts for Family Guy's popularity, in that merely having old pop culture references, they can get a laugh from the typical consumer.

Taking all that in mind, replace Holy Grail with PotS, and replace Spamalot with everyone that does PotS-style characters. PotS made a system that was generally good for his characters, and when people wanted to copy that style, they were unable to get the main core elements down but are still praised merely for referencing his works.

His stuff may not be perfect or bugless, but in the coding department, he really was good. His system stuff really has some neat coding tricks.
Now, if you think his game system is not good, that's a whole other issue.

I will be crucified for this but I'm not very fond of POTS standard, sorry. The reason is I only like accurate characters and POTS are not very accurate (or as some say they're accurately edited, but still edited). I prefer accurate authors such as warusaki3, GM, muteki and so on.

But I still like some of POTS creations, most of his stages are nice but most of all I really like RareAkuma which at the same time a great work of art (and proof of mastery of mugen creation) and a parody of what's going wrong with all the ridiculous god characters.

No need to apologize for your opinion, although saying warusaki3 is accurate is a bit of a stretch (see his CvS Ken, CvS Juni, CvS Jill, CvS Captain Commando, etc etc).

Just like my opinion is that 100% accurate works tend to be boring since if I really wanted 100% accuracy, I'd just play the original game. Before you call me a hypocrite for bashing people who don't try to get accurate game data, there's a difference between making a character "feel" right and just guessing, and part of the "feel" comes from move properties, physics, etc etc.
