Yeah, I'm working on developing a better format to use than "in the order I scrawled down the notes while carefully observing it" don't worry about that. Here's an example of it. I just hadn't gotten to applying it to the strong attacks yet... I used that as an example because there's really quite a difference in the things about it that he didn't write down.

Here's an example of the notation I'm using...

FFB: Gaia the Fierce Knight (Weak)

Yugi summons Gaia the Fierce Knight (Japanese Ankoku Kishi Gaia) and dashes
forward with it in front a bit faster than he normally runs.

Attack length: 13 frames

Damaging frames: 7-11

Attack range: .25 to 3.5 character lengths away, hits characters on platforms
just above the one Yugi is on

Notes: A successful hits knocks the opponent down.

Damage: 10

Presumably this is better. Note that how to use the attack is covered in the play style and general strategy section, not the movelist.

That's certainly better, but I'm not sure the information on the number of frames and which are damaging is really necessary.

Skydude is correct. You really should only list the important information. For example, in my Bulletproof Car Guide for GTAA, I could easily go off on the performance of every car, what it's based on in real life, and cover every detail of every car. But I don't. In addition, formatting counts. Try to make it as compact as possible, and take advantage of horizontal lines.

GameFAQs mainly uses plain text documents and likes 80 characters per line, so that's what I'm using for this.

As for how necessary frame information is... It's a fighting game. Frame counts are important for purposes of comparison. I'm... Not really sure how to explain it beyond that. It's very useful for the more advanced players in determining a vast variety of things.

I have yet to check my rank. I'm too lazy to key in my records.

By the way, anyone else here play Super Mario War?

You know, I shaved off a total of 10 seconds from four races yesterday...

I should go recalculate my skill... last time I checked, it was like, 132xx

Edit: Okay, I lied. Its only 12000, but thats because I really havent had the time to sit down and play :/

Yes. Those are bad. And I'm trying to improve them.

I may need to get a DS and the game if only so I can be more social on this board, since everyone here seems OBSESSED with it.

... It's a superb, superb game, Sky. The only thing that's been able to dislodge it from my DS is Jump Super Stars, and never for very long.

It's a great, great game. Possibly the best MK game ever.

And then you have Tetris DS coming out... and New Super Mario Bros... and... *drools*...

So yeah. Is it just me or is the DS quickly becoming the best system ever?

Of course, I still won't recognize it until Power Stone DS.

...

OH HOLY HELL

BEST IDEA EVER

Go make it now, Capcom. Drop everything you're doing and make it right now.

Well, I don't have a DS, is one thing. And I've not usually been a fan of most racing games. Those two things are dissuading me a bit.

I wouldn't say the DS is the best system ever, but it comes very close if it isn't.

Yeah, most racing games sure do suck, that's for sure.

Only F-Zero and Mario Kart are any good.

And it's not like mkds is the only good DS game.

Advance Wars
Age of Empires
Phoenix Wright
Kirby
Mario 64
Meteos
Castlevania
Jump Super Stars

Oh man does the list ever go on and on...

Oh, I know the DS has got quite a library. I just don't really have all that much of an occasion to use a portable system anyway. And there are plenty of GBA games I want to play that I have yet to. I got Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones for Christmas and have only done the first few battles in that so far.

I have a funny feeling that New Super Mario Bros. will be easily added to that list. It's been confirmed that the game has 80 levels, and as long as the gameplay matches the pics... *drools*

Sweet, sweet brand new Mario goodness.

I was just naming a few off the top of my head. My library of DS games alone has quite a few more titles than that
