honestly, i think graal needs to be changed all together. instead of doing the good ol sprites (not that i dont like them

) u should try working with polygons, even if it means he old bootleg virtua fighter look, u should try it! this way, graal could have more features. of course this pretty much eliminates user-made bodies, heads, etc. unless u had a 3d program and made skins kind of like in counter-strike. this may sound hard, but once the basics are done such as models and animation, everything is easy from there on out. wait... this doesn't have much to do with combat styles... uh... well, it would make the whole system more versatile! (if u want, which i'd expect, give me some dumb excuse like "omg, what a waste of time!" but it would still make graal much better)
