Oh that. Umm... that's a good question. I think the overall verdict was that none of the three browsers could handle frames faster than 6/100 seconds. That would be why so many of the sprites at Fighter's Generation always capped at 6/100. Most of the time that's plenty fast, but for stuff like Talbain's twitching, Q.Bee's wings, and Demitri's aura, browsers just can't handle the frame-speed necessary to accurately display something that only takes up one frame of
arcade animation. If that makes any sense.
I never did test that number series to see if there were significant speed variations between Explorer and Netscape...

What the bloody fuck.
I just loaded the characters page in Netscape and it works perfectly again. I didn't change a goddamned thing O.o
... and after minimizing it to type that, and then going back to check on it in disbelief, it has gone back to sucking hardcore. What the fuck!? No, seriously, what the fuck?
Well, I think I've just now decided to give up on ever figuring out why the gods of web design hate me, pretend there's nothing wrong, and move on to other things.
Anyway, it's difficult to explain exactly what "speed" means in writing because it's such a visual thing, and also because it's relative per user/browser. However, for reference, when I say sprites are "running slow" I'm not referring to the fact that gif animation is generally processed at a
slightly slower pace in Firescape. I mean they're literally running at
half the speed they're supposed to. Right now, Talbain's animation takes almost three full seconds to complete one loop in Firescape. At least for me, anyway. For some unfathomable reason. I suppose, going back to the numbers thing Priam mentioned, it's worth mentioning that the only sprites that are having problems that massive are the ones with any number of 6/100 second frames. Still, reguardless of gifs that
are animating at decent speed, there's still a big lag between selecting different characters. It should be instant.
*sigh*
Why can't we all just get along? Stupid fucking compatibility. <p><div style="text-align:center">
