After thinking about @NED's suggestions for the portraits, they are great ideas. There's one got me thinking of adding a new (picture) frame over a portrait which would be cool to see. I don't know which one to choose.
Some character portraits I have don't have borders at all. Don't mind the white parts around Yang 'cause it's just a temporary concept which I will change. I know that needs to be edited.
I can add a frame on the portraits. This is just a concept for now.
I made something that had been bothering me to fill in the unused symbols with characters' faces for the whole time, since no one attempted to bother it. It was something I discussed earlier. I was working on the bottom fonts for the symbols of commands in the continue screen. Plus, I gave some advising quotes like the Japanese version of SF2 had after the player loses a match. However, there are some stuffs left to fix on the font side. As of now, I'm satisfied with the result, despite some fonts being places in two blank spaces in between instead of none.
Video will be up later.
Yes. In the continue screen, there will be animation that will make the player get up to continue after pressing start.
Both are ok, just be sure to have the same color for everybody and avoir the white antialiasing thing is you go for a black BG.
About the purple frame, why not but it's a bit too different of the SF2 classic style.
