Haven't done so yet, but I'll definitely take an in-depth look at Cervantes soon (tomorrow hopefully). I'm contemplating making another moveset, both out of the enjoyment of publicizing an unknown character and so I can get more 'press' around here if you will, but a few borderline minor/major concerns. Is there an exact cutoff date yet for MYM 3? All I've heard is 'the end of September' and would have to keep a deadline in mind when making one. Being a full-time student in college doesn't help either, especially with the first wave of this semester's exams and papers occurring this week and next. And since I don't want to half-*** anything, I'd definitely have to put a significant amount of time and effort into it like anyone else would do. So yea, if anyone can fill me in on that (and fierce deity link, jesus christ) that would be awesome.
@Everyone reading this!
I've been contemplating doing Juno from Jet Force Gemini (or even combine Juno, Vela and Lupus, though thats immediately starting to become a bit cliche now I guess), and Sub-Zero from Mortal Komabt (is it just me or has no one yet done a moveset for one of the most popular video game characters evar? I looked around a bit and saw nothing). If for some reason I begin feeling EXTREMELY creative, I may do one of the heroes from the Indian epics, namely Rama from the Ramayana or Arjuna from the Mahabharata (FYI: the Mahabharata is the single longest written prose in human history. Mahabharata = the Iliad + the Odyssey.....and then multiplied by 8). Hell, maybe even one of the participating Gods (Vishnu, Agni, etc.) Of course, including religious Gods into video games doesn't come without its controversies. I know Shiva from Mortal Kombat had a mixed reception to put it lightly. For me personally, the biggest issue about including Shiva was not necessarily how he was a God being 'downgraded' to a video game, but a God being 'downgraded' to a video game and ABSOLUTELY SUCKING. Like, ok, if you're going to include Shiva, the ultimate God of Destruction and amongst the three highest Gods in Hinduism in your fighting game, you better make him pretty f*cking good. Or at the very least able to hold his own. But not only is he bottom tier of the MK 3 Ultimate tier list (yes, there is one. Kabal is the Fox of MK), he is the single WORST character in the game. There's bad, there's bottom, and then there's Shiva. And what's the deal with portraying him as a hermaphrodite? I mean, I know he has his forms of duality and whatnot...but c'mon, that thong-spandex thing was a little much IMO.

Also, feel free to comment on my only moveset thus far (I think it's pretty good, but I'll let you be the judge of that).
