Until we can discuss further, I thought I'd put some thoughts here.

I'm having trouble thinking of anything specific for the first meeting, other than a survival test. They're each tied up and aren't sure where they are or how to get back. They get untied and start searching for a way back. They run into their teammates by nightfall, and must spend the night there (without any supplies). The next day, they work together to find their way back where Cho Li is waiting for them. ... What have you guys come up with in comparison?

I've also thought up an attack formation that changes based on who is landing the final hit. That member would be the one who was the focus of that mission/episode. It is a 'diamond formation' where the lead member strikes and creates an opening, the two middle members do damage and distract the enemy from the last member, and the rear member finishes the enemy off. Depending on the character's position in the formation, they use a different one of their techniques (3 total - one for lead, middle, and rear).

There's a similar version where Cho Li attacks with the rear member. The techniques are switched around a bit so the move used with Cho Li will match up with one of her own techniques.

As for plot, is the war set up like the fourth war, where they head out and don't return until it's over? Or is it more sporadic, with teams being sent on various missions like normal, but some of the missions are war related and skirmishes break out at various times/locations? I haven't been sure on that, and the difference would affect how the story grows over time.
