It's too soon to talk about what we're going to be working on next, but I'm pretty happy with how things are progressing at the moment.

I am out of the loop. Questions:
1) What is considered to be the best Painwheel team right now?
2) What DP assist has the most priority/invincibility?
3) Any great videos of competitive Eliza?

We were talking in FGW about the 4 buttons layout MikeZ tested a long time ago. Do you know why it was never finished? Not good enough? Someone said it was a patent issue.

Wait...WHAT?! Um...please can someone clarify this patent. 4 button fighters have appeared in many games and I"m currently working on one with a 4 button layout. This will change some stuff we were about to start doing if button layouts have patents and I can't use certain layouts.

One of the gaffers in the FGW thread talked about this and mentionned a patent and MVC3 and how SG may not be able to use this pattern in Japan because of patent rules.

Ravi do you know anything about this?

Pretty sure they were just joking because that sounds too ridiculous to be true.

No, Solar was referencing an interview Mike did where he talked about why SG was six buttons. Mike mentioned the possible alternatives and why they didn't and couldn't go with some of them I think.

In that thread I mention 6 button layout is patent protected in Japan. KI and SG are US made and were imports.

The MvC2 layout I didnt mention but I thought I heard it patented. 4 attacks and 2 assists layout to be clear.

3 button isnt, 4 button isnt, 5 button isnt afaik

just make a "alternate" version of configuration as an option that asssign buttons to functions, not the reverse.

And in this one put functions for "global weak, medium, high, launcher" attacks and "alternate assist 1/2", done : )

Was going to post it. I like this stage a lot, we don't see this kind of stage anymore. And this small easter egg. :)

Master Milk what are you talking about saying "300k" ?

So some button layouts are patented? Okay...is there an easy way to search for fighting game patents on mechanics? I'm in the middle of making a fighting game and I need to know before I start finalizing things in the engine if I am not allowed to use certain things or not. I'd really hate to have to redesign movesets if some core mechanics, or layouts aren't allowed to be touched but its better to know now while I'm just at the asset stage than later.
