i like the deception version its more snappy (sorry couldn't think of a word)

Well, I'll take snappy any day.

Too plain and horrible quality.

What's so plain about it?

Yeah, I know it's a but MKDA/ MKD-ish, but what isn't?

I don't think it's plain. I think it's really good despite having only not that much to work with (talking about the avatars of course). But I will agree that it is a bit blurry, not too much.

But all in all, it's very good. Could we expect to see more when we see more characters popping up? I hope so.

... Or at least edit these pictures with new characters.

I don't like either actually. Very blurry and plain. It literally hurts my eyes to look at them, especially the second one - and the font sucks.
What's so plain? It's hard to believe you don't see why the backgrounds are so BLAH.

Way too plain (not to be confused with plane), and it really has nothing to do with the theme of the game... especially with that retarded second one. It's like... huh? What kind of choice of color was that? Ridiculous.
I hope the game's actual select screen has nothing to do with either of those.

I'll be editing my sig.

It'll take time, though. As much as people say the pics suck, they still aren't easy to do.

I think the first one is really good, the second one needs a little more work. Maybe you can add a background to it.

hmm...i've come up with an idea of a select screen. i'm not going to show it though due to the fact that i'm plagiarizing if i do without original user consent, but i have an idea.
