What is a storyboard?
A storyboard is a way to put together animation and music in M.U.G.E.N, usually in the form of a cutscene.

A cutscene is what you actually see (and hear). An event is point in time to play back a cutscene. A storyboard refers to the .def file that defines what you see during a cutscene.

Game Intro - played back after the Game Logo

Credits - played back after the ending cutscene
