As I look at the comment sections of several people's YouTube videos of this ROM Hack, its Retro Game Talk page, among other pages, there are quite some questions that got brought up pretty often:
10) The clashing art styles, I can understand. You have Roll's Marvel vs. Capcom sprites juxtaposed with Street Fighter II sprites, for example. This was quite an experimental ROM Hack, being the very first Street Fighter II ROM Hack I made.
09) The balance was meant to favor the New Femme Fatales, as they are one of the focal points of the ROM Hack. Other characters like Chun-Li, Dictator and Claw are still fairly competitive, though.
08) Belva, one of my mascots was included as a (secret) fighter because I was waiting for Avra's sprites to be drawn, which took a very long time to finish. I had to get multiple different artists to draw Avra's sprites.
07) The backgrounds are the way they are because I'm not really good with scenery, and I don't know who to turn to for making the backgrounds stand out from other ROM Hacks of the same game.
06) Avra is a character I created in response to someone offering help with art, and then rejecting the character choices I presented to him. I then had an artist create a model sheet of Avra to use as a reference for her sprites, icon and portraits.
05) Zangief got "censored" by coloring his legs the same as his clothes, to go with the "Bishoujo" theme of the fighter replacements.
04) I emphasize panty shots because I like them, and I can receive satisfaction from seeing certain ones. Yes, I know they can be distracting. In fact, back in 2012, I started to run a blog called Stupid Pervert. It only took 13 years until that blog was put behind a warning. Perhaps contact with the bottom area would be going too far.
03) People ask for characters without ever going into detail as to why they want those characters, and they usually don't take into consideration the important factors that go into changing one character into another. One of the most important factors would be the movesets, mostly in terms of special moves. The vast majority of this feedback is addressed to other peoples' comment sections and not to me.
02) A Korean cultural icon, Jadoo was included in the roster because I had previously commissioned her sprites for a game I created, named Diaper Enforcers Deluxe. Also, series creator Lee Bin himself took notice of this ROM Hack and even tweeted and made an Instagram post about it. Not knowing a character isn't really required to enjoy them. Take Mr. Game & Watch in Super Smash Bros. Melee for example, an amalgamation of Game & Watch games. He stood out from the other characters in a charming way IMO with his frame-by-frame animations and beeping sounds.
01) By far the most frequently asked question, one that has also been directed to me a few times, is why I choose to ROM Hack the Genesis version instead of the SNES version. There a number of good reasons for this. One thing is that I have more experience with 68K assembly from ROM Hacking Streets of Rage 2 & 3. Also, just about all the graphics data in Capcom's in-house developed Genesis are uncompressed, making them easy to edit. In addition, I don't understand the SNES's equivalent to PCM's.
