Help:Writing Character Pages

Remember the Intended Audience

When writing guides, remember the intended audience is beginners and intermediates -not experts-.

• Move explanations should not be very long if possible. Use bullet lists to list interesting properties, and paragraphs for deeper explanations.
• The combo section should not list ALL combos for a character. List enough for a character to learn the basics for standard situations (common starters, big punishes, corners, etc.)

Creating Images

When creating images for character pages:

• The two primary goals for the images are:

1. Make the attack easily identifiable by players who do not play the character and have seen the attack once or twice.
2. Be a visual aid to explain how an attack works. See examples:

• 
• 
• 

• Use sprite rips for images even if the sprite does not use all the special effects used in game. If no rips are available, use high quality screenshots taken with a caputure card.
• Make sure characters are facing right (as if they are player 1)
• Use multiple images if necessary.
• Crop the image so that long portions of the attack do not take up space.
