WldFb is in a class of his own, I don't think anyone comes close in terms of hacking ability! Everything from gameplay, move hacking, rom hacking, attires, I don't think any other single person has added more to the game than WldFb did.
I'm really only expanding on stuff that's been around for a few years that only a few people ever used (I think only WldFb, CM, dx69, Imbored)-- and I'm only working on arena hacking (so far anyway).
Thanks for all the compliments though.
I still have about 40~60 polygon slots available, so I'll try to add a few other things (crowd, stage, any suggestions on things to add?), fix up some properties, and code it over the next week or so.
And I wish I worked for AKI! I love playing around with the game code as it is, it would be sweet if I actually got paid to do it ^o)
That being said, next time I return to Japan (possibly this summer or fall), maybe I'll swing by the synSophia/AKI offices and see if I can show the folks there some of the work that the NM community has made. Heck, I'll take a USB N64 controller with me and let 'em play some of the cool saves that people have made over the years.
