Interesting. I uploaded the image to your profile pic myself and worked fine, but I removed it because I want to see if we can get this working for you. If not, I'll just upload it for you. 2 last things to try. First is re-download the image from your imgur account, and try uploading that version of it. Second, if that doesn't work try cropping the image by about 3 pixels so it's not 256x256 and instead is 253x253 or less, then try it.

What's the images type and size? Have you tried other image files?

It should be working now. My apologies for the inconvenience. Please let us know here if registration is still giving you trouble. Thanks for pointing this out.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll look into it. What was the display name you used when trying to create the account?

Here's the new WIP I'm not starting. It does everything at once every time you push any button. This message should show up on discord....

Somebody tagged me one of these AMA threads once and it was kinda fun, so I figured I'd start one off. Pick another member, tag them and ask them any 3 questions you want. When they're done answering, they do the same. No other rules about repeats, passes or interruptions, it's just here to have fun with @The Magic Toaster 1) What are your 2 favorite things to do for fun? 2) Top 3 TV shows? 3) All time favorite 3 Mugen characters?

Darkflare If we ditch them all but the numbers, I think we'd be rewarding quantity over quality. Which is something plasmoid is also worried about with the current criteria. So I can see ditching all the ones that are currently there, like other people are saying, and yourself in part at least. They do call for a specific type of character, which is shitty. Too rigid. What would be your thoughts on replacing them instead with something a little looser and more refined? MkTendou A valid point, I hear that and it's certainly not something I'm interested in doing, pigeonholing creators into creating a certain type of character if they want a trophy. Fuck that. Yea so the requirements (at least for character creation) have to be pulled way back to necessities only. Anything beyond that, the kinds of specifications that would produce a specific type of character, maybe should each have their own trophy (like a capcom style char creation trophy etc). But that's way down the road, so not to get side tracked. Yes, got it. PlasmoidThunder Agreed fully, and already covered why. When I first put the idea out there a couple years ago, I just had numbers for the criteria. People rightly brought up the point that that's again pushing quantity over quality, so I / we took a first shot at drawing up some criteria. But yea looking back like you guys are pointing out they are stiflingly narrow. So then in pulling them back to bare minimum so they interfere with the creative process as little as possible, what would be your recommendations for requirements? Heard. HelloMyNameIsAAA I like your idea of having a "complete character" criteria which applies to all characters submitted (required sprites etc). I'd like to expand it a little further too. As for the number of characters required, I'll lower it a little bit, but I want to keep the platinum trophies really difficult to get, so they're rare. The bronze should be relatively easy, so younger people and beginner creators can at least get themselves a trophy. But if the numbers are lower, I think there should be some kind of extra thing to get a platinum. idk what exactly... Everyone I fully agree we should avoid boxing people in creatively. Like at all. It's Mugen. The question then becomes what precisely are the distinguishing characteristics that make for a "good" character in any style? On what basis exactly can this judgement be made? @HelloMyNameIsAAA I definitely like your idea of having a "complete character" criteria which draws on @MkTendou and @PlasmoidThunder suggestion of just doing required sprites etc. So using that as a starting point, and then adding requirements similar to required sprites and states, while including AAA's other idea of adding a single unique requirement to each trophy, (and lowering the numbers a little) this is what I got so far: Complete Character • All required sprites and states • Palette functions properly • Sounds are balanced and present where appropriate • Damage dealt and received is appropriate to the character • No bugs, debug floods or sprite swaps Bronze ~ Create 3 complete characters. Silver ~ Create 5 complete characters. 1 must have an A in either presentation or functionality in the Monthly Judgement. Gold ~ Create 8 complete characters. Author must have shown great knowledge of MUGEN coding and character balance. Platinum ~ Create 13 complete characters. 1 of which must act as their Masterwork, which they feel represents the current full extent of their person skill set.
