Prototype909 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Just bringing something that's been bothering me for awhile to greater attention. Many of the character sub-forums are incredibly disorganized, it is very hard for users trying to learn new characters (Myself included) to find a comprehensive guide for a character without digging through multiple pages/threads to find the information they want. Obviously, some of the character forums are more well organized than others (Whereas with some I struggle to find basic BnB combos listed...). I am simply proposing that the BB character subforums (As a whole) isolate threads where combos/basic guide information are listed from threads pertaining to character discussion. This makes things more accessible, and prevents clutter (Making things easier to find). I feel that the Ragna Sub-Forum is currently the best organized having - A comprehensive guide which lists the character's move list (With annotative descriptions), BnB combos (Listing the damage of each combo), general character information, and a FAQ section. A combo thread that is completely isolated from any discussion, or separate information A thread including a detailed list of changes from CT -> CS, including damage and protration values A frequently updated video thread A discussion thread allocated to anything else involving the character Obviously, going from organization such as that to a different character's guide with 16+ pages of dispersed information is not the best experience. I realize now that the amount of time and effort it would take to recompile all of the information scattered throughout the other character sub-forums into a uniform structure would be massive. However, if everything becomes streamlined per character it not only makes the layout look nicer; it also makes it more accessible.
CakeWasBannedd Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I agree, some of the character forums are really dis-organized. Would be nice to have a set of threads that are required for each character sub-form, and maintained by someone who cares about them.
Aeph Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I agree, it really would be nice to have a common structure for all characters that so that each have good information that is easy to find.
shtkn Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 im pretty sure each of the subforums have hte things you're asking for. as for them being constantly updated.... yeah that could use some work.
koun Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I agree, some of the character forums are really dis-organized. Would be nice to have a set of threads that are required for each character sub-form, and maintained by someone who cares about them. This would awesome for the sub-froums.Support this all the way.
Wolt Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I'd like to see this get done as well, having played Ragna, I expected the other character forums to be an exact mirror of content and information but I have a hard time finding my way in and out of certain characters I may want to check out. I dislike having to search through multiple posts trying find the information I want, and some of the video threads are outdated(some haven't had new videos in a couple months now).
mAc Chaos Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 It's easy to want it, but you need people willing to do it. On top of that, each character's subforum has their own way of organizing that they probably think is best. I have no idea how anyone finds anything in the Jin subforums so I just go by what I see Jin players do. I actually find Ragna's a bit confusing myself.
mAc Chaos Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Well, I just added a basics section to the combo thread in the Haku subforums, so maybe it'll make more sense now to people who aren't already familiar with him.
LunaKage Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I agree with this big time, the Noel forums are a huge eyesore, and our match-up threads are mixed with CT and CS information in the same thread, to the point where you need to skip several pages until you get to CS match-up info.
Stray Inu Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 What's good with me yo? Pfft, Bang forums are awesome. Well-organized, too. Anyone who says otherwise is just silly.
