Dang, this is really hard. I need to like practice for a few years, then go back in time with my newly gathered experience and sexiness.
So anyway I figured I'd draw something (for lulz) and since I didn't feel like bothering other people for a project with no certain future, I just did myself. And right off the bat mine looks less frame by frame and hand drawn than Luis, DARN YOU, YOU SKILLED MEXICAN.
Also, AS3 is hard as hell to just learn on the intarweb so I started looking at books to help me learn the art of making the guys punch each other.
Anyway Aside from the shoddy animation (I should make the swf file available for you to laugh/vomit at) I'm thinking about animating what I think it would look like pitch the idea so I could get some help/guidance, and you would have something better to look at than words on a screen.

It's easy to sit here and SAY stuff but doing it is a entirely different matter, even then, the idea of a BBS based fighting game arouses me, even though I hate about half of you.
I'd imagine it to be online multiplayer (it kinda defeats the point if the game is based on a public forum and single player)
Players would be able to pick up the weapons of fallen foes (everyone I ask about it says they wish they could pick up better weapons)
Instead of bombs you would just have an energy bar... oh wait, this game is already looking like little fighter 2 with different characters. Dang.
The character select screen should be able to give a sweet profile pic, the talents of said fighter and a small bio on them, since the point of the game is to highlight a small community behind a larger website. Lol, like the staff "character select page."
Wow, I sound obsessed or something. YARRRRRRRRR
Edit : Fixed some sentences, they looked redundant.

Sounds like a horrible basis for a game. If you can make this work, and make it work well, all power to you.

Shit really? I think it could work if executed in a good manner and not half assed.
