Very sleek and modern looking design! The "Everyone is Invited" tagline looks a bit cheesy to me, might look more official if you take that off.
Otherwise, really nice looking screenpack and lifebars. Can't wait to see your progress, keep it up!

Sorry about your data! Make sure to take your hard drive in just to be safe if you haven't already, could be rescuable still. Looking forward to Gato!

The Ryu he's working on is on the previous page. Either way, he can title his thread whatever he wants.

Congrats on the release! That menu screen looks especially crisp. Great designs all around!
EDIT: I have to say, as a black man I really appreciate allowing 1P to be a black dude. It might seem super small but most fighting game companies don't even do this. Good to see the representation, even in an indie project. You're awesome.

As much as I congratulate the Team Z2 for their win and appreciate all his/her/their efforts into making each characters for free, I still can't comprehend your distaste for people's criticism towards favoritism in this forum.
Yes, the characters are great, yes, everyone else made great characters too, but this is a popularity vote made from subjective viewpoints and standards.
It is no secret that MFG is very much infatuated with the Dragon Ball franchise (hence why 6 out of 11 characters from COTY Hall of Fame had all been DB characters) and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out.
I, personally don't mind if another Dragon Ball character from Team Z2 wins every year for the next decade or so, but I'm not going to shoot down people's opinions when they point out a simple phenomenon that keeps happening over and over again.
Preacher thankfully handled the unreasonable one, so I'll respond to this.
I don't plan on derailing this thread much further, but it's not about criticism towards favoritism at all. If you feel the polls are unbiased, that's one thing. But be considerate to the creators. Its a popularity vote on a pretty niche community on the internet. Its not really of much consequence.
But if you imagine the amount of work it takes to get as good as Balth, Cybaster, Iced, etc. at what they do, coupled with how much time they put in without a dime of pay, there's a way you can handle your disappointment without being disrespectful to the creators. They didn't even recommend a character they'd rather have won, they just came in here shitting on Z2 for winning again.
If you make good shit, people like it. Its "character of the year", not "creator of the year" (although...admins? That seems like a pretty good idea! It'd prevent this sort of thing). You have to consider what it feels like to put in that many hours into a creation for this community and have it recognized for its quality, just to have two newer users come in and disregard you...for being too consistently good. Its a pretty awful thing to do.
But, anyway! Let's go back to talking about the characters, please. It seems like the situation's been handled.

^ Y'all doing shit like this is going to dissuade people from making quality content. Stop this toxic shit. Those guys work their asses off to produce industry-level work FOR FREE. If people want to vote for characters that are custom sprited and coded as expertly as theirs, whining about it isn't going to do anybody any good.
It doesn't mean the other creators aren't making stellar work, and it certainly doesn't make you look smart just because you "called it." The last thing this community needs is people rolling their eyes at teams for making good content. If you hate seeing them get recognized so much, learn how to code or sprite a character and actually contribute instead of being annoying.
Congrats to Team Z2, and to all the other creators that were nominated. We appreciate all the effort.
