Choose Your Character!

[ARASHIKAGE]

OK so this is how it works; make up a fighting game with all the characters you ever dreamed of in one game. From any franchise, fighter or not. But lets not go overboard, how about we limit it to roughly 20-30 characters in your game. pictures are welcomed


I imagine my fighter being a lot like Super Smash Bros. Melee, quick responsive no Quarter Circle Punch combos. In my mind it would be very gritty and raw. Very balanced with naturally occurring tier systems and counters.
And finally I'd try and keep it somewhat serious, non cartoony human beings and little in the way of "unnatural powers". Call me boring, but I want a little realism and hopefully this would make for a richer experience. Of course there will be power-ups and super sick finishing moves/specials (plus tag team finishing moves) etc.

The fighters are:

DC: Batman, Catwoman, Bane.

Marvel: The Punisher, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Ironman.

G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Baroness, Scarlett, Roadblock.

Street Fighter: Ryu, Sagat, Cammy, Chun Li.

King of Fighters: Terry Bogard, Mai Shiranui.

Tales of Symphonia: Lloyd, Presea, Sheena.

Fire Emblem: Marth, Lyn, Hector.

Metroid: Samus.

Soul Calibur: Ivy

Samurai Shodown: Mina

Resident Evil: Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Ada Wong.

The categories:

I'm going to have to put this off until the weekend... but your lack of Rival Schools is disturbing.

[yoshiblue]

I choose Roy.

[NoiseHERO]

Megaman

Sonic

Link

Roxas

Venasaur

Ethan Waber

Jack from Power Stone

And Scott Pilgrim

Also creepy picture of snake eyes is creepy.

I was thinking about making a PS fighting game. You would be able to customize your own character and class. You'd then be able to choose a weapon and a sub-weapon (ie. double sabers and pistol). You'd be able to switch back and forth and the combos would be dependent on which weapon you had equipped. Switching between the two options would give the player options for how to respond to strategies the other player employed.

The controls (think neogeo snk);
A) Normal attack, B) Power attack C) Just counter D) Switch item
A + B) Grab
Most of the attacks would be a combination of A and B in order to make chains of attacks. Also there is PP stat that decreases with each attack you make and recharges (faster at lower health) ir order to prevent cheap spamming. The just counter would be just that, if you hit it, your character will poise for a moment and parry any attack that is struck with in that short period of time leaving the opponent open, and be left open for attack a moment after if unsuccessful.

Then i realized how much resources are required to make a fighting game and you need a damn talented sprite artist and a really patient programmer. I'm studying java for android and javascript/php for web if anyone would team up for it.

off topic real quick:
great idea. I would know, because a friend and I had also thought about making one. in fact, we had a title, menu art, character roster/art, sounds, and music on standby for it all on Flash (was going to be a flash game). But then we looked into some stuff before diving deeper. Sega, even if the game is free to play, is extremely protective over their crap when it comes to stuff like this. I think there was an issue a year or so ago where a fan-based game with Sega referencing was in dispute with Sega and had to be taken down. so ya, in general, copyright would be the largest and hardest obstacle. especially with these goons.
making it just for you and your friends would be the best approach, and not posting for international use.


back on topic:
(I'll come up with a list later on in the week) ;)

Well, you could always use similar stuff, because a lot of the stuff in PSO is generic enough to get away with.

[Kion]

That's one thing i find really great about blizzard, is they generally include a level editor which allows their player base to edit and create new content for games they enjoy. It's basically free marketing.

I could either use PSO as a base, and then change the title ans weapons to something else, but my friend doing the sprites wants to do a brand new fighting game entirely from scratch anyways, so i guess it doesn't matter.

You can always use PSO as inspiration for a character if nothing else.

[Split]

Samus and Ironman should by all rights wreck face in this hypothetical game

[GCoffee]

Badass incarnate Slade from the Teen Titans Animates series using his iron bar and badass voice. Love that guy <3.

The Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce should also be included, because robot apes. The monkeys would form a single fighter, changing the attacker depending on the attack being used.

Ornstein from Dark Souls should return to kick ass with his lightning spear and a Smough summon.

Papa Smurf should fight to earn money for financing the medicine that an ill-fallen forest animal so desperately needs.

Carnage from Spiderman should wreck carnage for no real reason as usual. At the very least let people finally realize that Venom holds no candle to him in any aspect, ever.

Kireek from PSO should be on the hunt for souls, with his lovely Soul Reaper. AGG GAHH UBWAHHHH.

King Rappy from PSIV should make his grand return and squash his victims under his fat birdie-ass.

Ethan Waber, the joke fighter prominent in every fighting game that exists. He can do cool stuff on his airboard.

Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, kicking ass with magic spelz.

Montana from Montana Jones, I have a soft-spot for cats and treasure hunters, so this is an obvious choice. Also, best of childhood memories.

I blame dulk fakis for that typo.

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

I'd like to see the leading character from Shenmue, was Ryu? Also Lan Di his nemesis would be good too. Also why not films? Mad Martigan from Willow or William Wallace from Braveheart? Of course these are just suggestions off the top of my head (and not very good ones I must admit).

But fighting games tend to just take characters from other computer games or comics, but films have a wealth of likeable and impressive characters that'd be worthy of being in a fighting game i'm sure.
