Ever since MBAC for PC released, the amount of people who play this game has been growing faster than ever. However, one thing I noticed between MBAC and other fighters is the lack of 2 letter notation. First thing people might ask: Why? Well....why not? The other fighters have it, and it doesn't hurt. Normally it would be simple to just take or remember the first two letters of every name, but there are obvious problems with that. So, some would be more suited to be acronyms. Anyway, here is the list of character notations I propose, feel free to leave comments and suggestions:
SI - Sion Eltnam Atlasia
ST - Sion TATARI (Vampire)
AR - Arcueid Brunestud
RA - Red Arcueid
AK - Tohno Akiha
VA - Akiha Vermillion
HK - Hisui & Kohaku (Hisui on point)
KH - Hisui & Kohaku (Kohaku on point, i.e. Kohaku & Hisui)
HI - Hisui
KO - Kohaku
MH - Mech-Hisui
TS - Tohno Shiki (both TO and SH can end up being confusing because of both existing and future (coughryougicough) characters)
NS - Nanaya Shiki
LE - Len
WL - White Len
CI - Ciel (if only there wasn't a korean player named "CL"...)
NE - Nero Chaos (Nrvnqsr)
WA - Wallachia (Warakia)
SA - Yumizuka Satsuki
MI - Arima Miyako
AO - Aozaki Aoko
KK - Kishima Kouma
NA - Neko Arc
NC - Neko Arc Chaos
Notice how the names being used are the "official" names as in game. The game prints it as "Len" over "Ren", "Sion Tatari" over "V. Sion", etc. This is to avoid confusion, especially for the newer players. Melty has what will probably be the most potentially confusing names for characters and etc., so this could be one of many ways to fix one problem.

I love the characters so much I'll go the extra mile by typing out the extra alphabets to make up their full name nevertheless :psyduck:

I see nothing wrong with this proposal and I think it might be extremely helpful in short-hand notation.
-
I agree with all of the above comments.
-
I'm fine with typing out full names in most cases. We already have a shortened set of names, they just aren't 2 letters.
Some examples: v.akiha, arc, wlen, hisukoha, etc.
I don't really support this 2-letter idea as we are trying to attract new players to the US scene and this will only make it harder on them.
-
I can think of one game that even somewhat commonly uses 2 letter notation. I hardly consider that every other game. 3-letters is more commonly used from my experience.
-
GG often uses 2 letter notation.

Just to be arguementative, TA for Tohno Akiha. :V

GG often uses 2 letter notation.
*ding* we have a winner!

I've seen 3s and some others (douzins that I forget the name of) use 2 letter notation in addition to GG. And that's already two very popular games, even if just two....
-
Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing 3s with it...once...
-
3s, st, gg alot of games have 2 letter character names.
P.S. Don't fucking quote the same shit over again, it is spam. (I only allow that in Sacchin Toast)
