Stage Submission Guidelines

[Arxos]

Basic Guidelines
The preferred means of submitting stages is by DM'ing me (@Arxos) on Discord.

1. Please verify if your stage runs correctly on MUGEN version 1.1a4 with OpenGL renderer and 4:3 resolution. Generally speaking it's mostly the 4:3 resolution that needs to be checked.
2. Don't include any stage music in your submission, those will just be deleted anyway. Simply ZIP all the stages into one archive with a single folder and send the download link. Do not put each stage in it's own folder.

These two are the most important requirements. Furthermore, there are a number of criteria that are looked at when judging stages. Ideally, take them in mind when submitting stages. They may seem strict, but judging a stage only takes a few seconds thanks to some tools. Therefore, don't be too concerned about meeting all of the criteria. I'd rather you just send me your stages than get overly concerned about verifying all your stages and end up not sending anything.

• Example - No weird starting positions.
• Example - No high standing height stages.
• Example - No overly saturated stages.
• Example - No foreground elements that excessively obscure characters.
• Example - Any stage width is fine as long as it's not smaller than the screen width.
• Example - Silly stages can still be submitted, however it is unlikely to make it into MM and will either be rejected or used as exhibition only.
• Example - Make sure your stage doesn't contain too much movement or overly small, repeating patterns, these severely degrade stream quality and are generally very annoying to the eye. The main offender of this tends to be rain.
• You can use this page to see all stages on the roster, including the ones that aren't used in matchmaking/requests. Please check for duplicates, use both names and author names to check. Feel free to ask me questions why a stage on this list is banned.
