Guide to making representative characters

You see some people creating rep-chars, yea? Okay, now I created a guide on how to make it.
Well, firstly I have to explain what are rep-chars. They are chars which represents YOU in LF2. It shows how do you DC, make yourself into LF2 style, and your fighting style too (though it still depends on your spriting and DCing). Now let's start into the elements on making this type of char.

1. Who to make
YOU! It's you! Yeah, I don't usually see rep chars made by two people (unless you lack the skill to dc/sprite and need help).

2. Name
Well, you can:
-Use your username in LFE
-Just use your real name
-Even make a new name
It still depends on you, the author.

3. Appearance
You can:
-Sprite yourself into LF2 in your favorite shirt (needs a lot of spriting)
-Use already existing cloth and recolor, repaint etc
-Or maybe just imagine totally new clothes
-If you want to be mysterious you can wear glasses, mask, etc maybe you can take Justin as your sprite
-Try to paint your face (look at your best photo first)
-If you can't paint your face just use already existing ones that you think similiar to you

4. Aura and Type of Power
Depends on you (again):
-Use your favorite color
-Think of your favorite fighting style (e.g melee or ranged)
-Try to think about your favorite things (like nature, animal are green, sky is blue, fire is red or orange, etc)

5. Fighting style (DC and sprite needed)
You can play Little Fighter 2 normally (LF2 v2.0 recommended because they can record and you can just see them over and over again) and see how you fight
-If you love to get close to the enemy and punch them, you are melee, then you may copy some datas from Davis, Woody or other melee chars or code a new one
-If you love to get away from enemy and shoot them with a lot of balls, you can use John as a base-data, or some more ranged chars
-If you love to use extra-ordinary attacks (e.g Freeze's Whirlwind), just think to copy some more extra-ordinary attack or even create a new one
-If you are confused, you can think which style fits you perfectly
You can also DC an advanced one.

Well, that's it. I hope it's helpful to you (so I can see new rep-chars).

My current character is called MarcoX and my name is Marco. I made him with colours and skills I like and I drawed him similar to me (but with predefined faces). And no, I wouldn't share this char.

Thanks for reading . Oh, you may or may not publish your char. It's still up to you.
edit: d'oh I forgot to tell that you may or may not do that.

lol imo, i dont find any point in not sharing a character
because in the end, i usually make it for everyone to enjoy

In fact my char is just a part of the entire modification of LF, which will relased but I doubt I'l relase it here. Greets

I have some characters too but due to they are overpowered so I'm not sharing them. But I'd like to share "well-balanced chars". btw thanks a lot for reading.

If I'd need to make a character out of me, it would need over 1000 transformations, because my personality, mood, feelings all change in a matter of seconds.....
I'm a complicated one :P

I guess I'll go and try to make a representative character now, I'm bored anyway

Thank you for the guide
