Groovy Rankbars

man of txt · Post by **man of txt** » Thu May 05, 2005 12:53 am

Ok, I think its way over due that I explain the rank bar system. As a big fan of the Street fighter games, I came up with the idea of making SF-ish health bar ranks with a super combo meter. Damien then suggested basing combo meter on the groove system featured on Cap Vs Snk 2…

Capcom Vs SNK 2 had
C,A,P S,N,K grooves

Maybe the groves of SG could be
S,Q,U G,A,M

So at the moment you guys are only on the S-groove. When you fully charge up, you will move up another level and start the next groove system. Everyone (including Ward) has quite a while until they reach the ‘Q’ groove (which I haven’t made yet

)

I have a definite design for the next 2 grooves, but if anyone has any design ideas for the last 3 grooves (G, A, M) please feel free to post them here. I cant guarantee that I will use them, but either way it will help give me inspiration for more ideas.

Maybe there could be some hidden or extra features of the site that could be used when you move onto the next groove.

Either way, it's going to take a lot of posts

And me and Rachel are going to have to think of something even better than a delightful owl clock $:\$
Does that exist

Sounds like a perfect idea, dont know what extra feature we could give them

Why including me?

What did I do?

Who are you?

Apparently they think you are spammy, Ward.
Apparently they've forgotten about Doom !

I think there is a conspiracy to make me get an avatar for a custom title.

Ha ha

Sorry, I meant to say doom, because he is the closest to the next groove, or even John. I posted that really late last night when I was half asleep so I apologise.

Ward wrote: Who are you?

The guy that designed this site and new co-owner of SG.

I don't know about unlockable features. I'll see what bullshit DDRUK offer for paid membership and see if we can copy that

Sounds good, I'm sure we'll think of something by the time anyone gets the Q groove

Either way, it's going to take a lot of posts

I'm sure Doom and Kage can make it

I don't think that exists but don't worry, I'm sure we'll think of something de-lighful when the time comes

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 9:32 am

Or we could move delightful owl clock down quickly

But I'm sure there'll be a whole bunch of new injokes that are only funny to us that week when the time comes

Maybe favourites or HTML or something could be unlocked by moving to higher grooves?

man of txt makes cameo appearances at SGUK events

he always avoids coming when im there though.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 2:26 pm

He hates Northeners, that's why he always makes a point of missing Doctor Who, as much as he does love Billie Piper.

Joei · Post by **Joei** » Thu May 05, 2005 2:43 pm

well i am a northern barbarian.

Yeah, why would Luke want to hang out with somebody with no social skills or manners?

You're not Northern

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 5:35 pm

I don't like the way the ads on this page say "Marvel Vs Capcom 3". It makes me want it and it doesn't exist

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu May 05, 2005 7:59 pm

Dude, there's no way that this version will last long enough for anyone (including me) to even reach Q.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:13 pm

why are you so pessimistic??

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:15 pm

Yeah.
I don't see why we won't reach Q

Post by **Grey Fox** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:40 pm

So what's with mine?

Joei · Post by **Joei** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:45 pm

it's for twats

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:45 pm

It's a VIP groove just for you

Not sure what other greatness is involved though $:\$

You had wild seven as your rank, so I gave you a WS groove. As the founder of SG you can have any rank you choose, you want something else just ask

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:48 pm

Stranger Assosiation groove or Weapon Groove or something?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu May 05, 2005 8:58 pm

WMD groove??

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu May 05, 2005 9:04 pm

I don't like how this thread is throwing up bullshit ads for fighting games that don't exist but I wish did

Post by **Grey Fox** » Thu May 05, 2005 11:37 pm

Weapon Groove plz.

Hook me up with my admins too when you get a chance so I can do stuff.

You'll always be a KU-NT... much like real life.

It's pretty much just a rank bar and you should care because I'm DJ Damien and I tell you to!

That was a possibility when I was thinking about it.
It's just that if that happens, it won't happen yet as it takes a while to make all the images of the groove bars.

Mayvbe! Not yet anyway, have to make the other rank bars and finish the rest of the site first. When everything is done then we'll considering this. At the moment the only way to change groove is to post alot. Think of it as a reward for providing (useful) content
