I like how no one mentioned
DISABLE THE FUCKING OPTION TO PAUSE DURING VS MODE
this is far too often overlooked in modern ports of fg's. I recall chibi mentioning to me though that the creators of skullgirls implemented a feature in their game that makes pausing mid-match highly unlikely (hold several buttons + start of 5f or so).
Aside from having to develop a GOD-LIKE training mode (which I hope ecole continues to try and build on [gl getting at vf4e status though]), I feel that having the option to switch between arcade and console balance should be considered as well.
As for business-minded suggestions, we should try to construct a "portfolio" of sorts demonstrating our dedication to the game and scene(s) (I *think* this is what komidol was getting at, guys =/).
This site, for one, can be presented to ecole staff along w/ other international sites of the same caliber or better (e.g. that brazilian[?] site cristu mentioned or if EU has stuff setup too). There's the facebook mb acct. as well, I believe (and twitter?). we also have bits of footage which will further display "our" devotion/loyalty/whatever to mb (theres the BBG stuff, evo footage, an mb interview on Rithli's youtube acct., various EU/latin american/S. American youtube and stream footage, the wiki pg, guides and tutorials, etc).
I mean, if they want a reason to even look our way, I feel that we have to put something together that's worth their time so they can shell out the bucks to help us get what we want (and of course what they want. CAPITALISTS BASTARDSSSS).
...but yeah. "It's time to wake up" or however the new meme/catchphase goes.
