Hello

I just wanted to inform listeners about my future intentions regarding
USF.  A lot of motivation for me to work on USF has been in hopes of
the project competing in Google's Android Developer Challenge 3 later
on this year.  I am not even sure if it is going to happen again yet
but I love being prepared.  I believe that USF has a good chance at
competing in such a contest, and if it does, the project would receive
a large reward (tens of thousands of dollars) to fund further
development.

What that means then, though, is that USF has to be in a workable,
playable, and enjoyable state so that the game gets ranked high by
judges (I believe that you can only win the contest by impressing
arbitrary people, so it has to be good).  To that end, the game should
look good, be quick, and be fun.

Based on my own experience with the game series, I recommend that our
first phase of development strive towards making USF accurately mimic
the gameplay physics and mechanics of the Melee series, my reason
being that Melee is by far the most popular of the Smash series, and
will be attractive to the smash community that I am a part of.  It
would be good if a lot of gamers from the smash community volunteer to
test the game and let us know of any annoyances or bugs.

With a combination of the above, I think USF could stand a good chance
of competing for the ADC, and it would be worth trying.
