It is true that the main purpose of all this is to see the Little Fighters again, but we're limited by the law. It is true that a lot of games make it out by a disclaimer statement which shows up when the game starts, but that doesn't always work. Give this article a read.
What we're doing right now is ask for permission. If U1 turns out with a no, then there isn't much we can do about it; even worse, we'll be "under the radar" then and attempting anything with LF2 characters might result in an action from them faster than they would ever have. Not doing anything about it however just leaves everyone in distress, especially since it has been said - vaguely, if I may add - that U1 has jumped the gun and sued someone before. BUT, if we get a yes, and let's be optimistic about that, then that is going to be a huge motivation factor for everyone, and we will be able to progress in this without worrying about anything.
But let's account for the worst scenario, shall we?
