This rule caught my attention:
Winner must keep same character and moon phase. (http://evo2k.com/?p=22)
I want to change moon styles when I win a match. The following is my first draft of a persuasive email to MrWizard. I am also considering posting in this thread on SRK:

Please change Melty Blood rules to mirror SSFIV rules.
CURRENT:
"Rules: If the players do not agree on a stage within 15 seconds, the match will be random stage select.
Archtype: Earth is banned.
Winner must keep same character and moon phase."
PROPOSED:
"Rules: If the players do not agree on a stage within 15 seconds, the match will be random stage select.
Archtype: Earth is banned.
Winner must keep the same character, but can select a new moon phase in game 2 or 3, but has to pick the moon phase before the opponent picks theirs. This does not apply to blind pick."
In the arcade release Melty Blood Actress Again Version.A, when a challenger inserts a credit he may select any character and moon phase. The current player may not change his character, but he may change the moon phase.
In most USA and Japanese tournaments, the winner is allowed to change moon phases.
Please allow the game to be played as closely to the established standard as possible by adjusting this rule. Thank you for your consideration.

Please suggest changes. I do not know what language is most effective on MrWizard.
