Prism Cross is something I’m mixed on because having all the sprites fit together, the movesets, the gameplay modes, a lot of it seems cool. But there’s like no coherence to what it is thematically, other than “here’s a platform fighter/Smash fangame that has a lot of Smash features, and a grab bag roster that has like 15 obscure anime girls in dresses and some other random anime guys also wearing fairly regular clothes”.

I guess I can admire “I’ll just add whoever” somewhat, but there’s like half of the roster I like, and half of them where I’m like “who is the random schoolchild and why?” That is my own personal blind spot, and I guess the developers’ biases. Ultibyte appeals to me more as far as “Crusade mod turned its own game” goes.

Earliest possible alternate history Smash Brothers by Nintendo is if, for some reason, in 1984, they decide to swap Urban Champion out for a game where Mario is directly fighting Donkey Kong or (more likely given the pallet swap nature, though weird within the characters’ nature) Mario and Luigi are suddenly fighting in the streets. Maybe could make it a gym instead of a street to make their brotherly fight seem more like a friendly sparring/training thing?

Strange idea: Super Smash Brothers 2D and Super Smash Brothers 3D, released side by side. One is classic Smash gameplay but with 2D sprites, maybe even reused/reworked from older games. The other is a gameplay change to 3D that sort of takes after both Power Stone and Tekken in some ways, might have a more limited roster, relatively, since it’s so “from the ground up”, but still. This wouldn’t happen, but it could maybe be fun.

I can probably come up with an “original 12” for most big mediums or companies, as well as who their Mario, Pac-Man, and Mr. Game & Watch could be (I mentioned this equivalency on another post a long while ago).

For example

Master Hand is Scott McCloud

The Pac-Man relative to Superman’s Mario is either Popeye or later additions of Flash Gordon or the Phantom. But Popeye’s already here, so sure.

Mr. Game & Watch would be Krazy Kat.

Pikachu and Mewtwo would have more sauce to their movesets if they had their surfboard and giant spoon respectively.

Literally dreamt this, some type of Smash game or other video game crossover platform fighter.

Graphically, the style started as 3D, looking like Smash Ultimate, but after Kratos fought Terry, the rest of it was 2D sprites with 3D models sometimes being used as sprites.

Probably would never be done or fully work for some logistical reasons, but I’d love Smash or some other big crossover fighter to have each fighter and/or series featured have very distinctive artstyles rather than one unified one, with an emphasis on transmitting these series 2D or particularly distinct artworks into 3D.

Mario looking like Wonder/classic-style 2D Nakaue/Kotabe art, Pokémon with a Ken Sugimori color/shading style, Earthbound/Mother with clay-esque models, Donkey Kong with the promotional Rare 90’s 3D models just slightly updated, maybe even each Zelda character being from a different game, so you have a very OOT esque Ganondorf, a cel-shaded Oracle of Seasons/Ages/LttP looking Link, a BotW Zelda, etc.

Could even extend to both old and new third parties. Sonic Adventure/2000’s 2D Sonic or a classic 90’s version, the sketchy Metal Gear art style from Yoji Shinkawa, Bengus art/SFA sprites turned 3D for Ryu, Ken, and possibly Chun-Li…there’s even mods for Mega Man and Cloud that do this and they look really nice. Steve probably wouldn’t have to change anything coming back, though. DOOM Guy/Slayer looking like his classic box art/sprite or the new game’s art, Rayman playing up the Legends flair, so on and so forth. I am just rambling now.

A lie detector test is a video game. Electronic, has a goal and output that responds to the “player” input.

Thanks for the follow I guess... (seriously, why is that even a feature)?

Super Smash Brothers Variable, “reboot” concept I did a while ago for a Roundtable Relay submission on the Duke of Dorks channel. Mileage may vary! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZA7WT0F9RZT-b_N9pJDmjSQ04LJsWUJ85hGwnTfQICQ/edit

“Infinite MultiVersus” sounds like Pop Culture Clash but even more so, perhaps.

I think I’ve done rosters for comics [with some manga/manhwa], video games in general, live-action TV, web original content, music [with some stage plays involved], pop culture in general. Next to “collect” for this would be animation, live-action movies, books/literature, toys, sports, the public domain, and maybe history? History is a problem, though. But that would cover almost every major field, indeed.

Revised "short" COGH roster, indeed. Some consolidation, admittedly strange and somewhat bias picks in here, trying for variety, but it can depend. It's possible I might revise this.

Why is Goku THE non-VG Smash request? I feel like I have an idea, but I'm interested if anyone has any (other) explanations?

Smash Brothers wishlist doodle thing where I did all of them from memory on the bus.

IDK who fights Harvey Comics, and IDW and BOOM are too license focused.

For other folks: would your standards for who you'd want to see in a mod or Smash fangame are different for who you'd want to see in an actual Smash game? Me, for instance, I'd like to see more experimentation happen in terms of "fourth party" characters aside from the standard Goku and a few other Shonen Jump characters. Like, some major cartoon characters, Darth Vader, Tony Hawk, James Bond, or even E.T. could be fun. But in "real" Smash, I probably wouldn't want to go that far.

Doing “Everyone is Here” again would only really be interesting to me if Smash Remix, Crusade, Smash Flash 2, and Project M/PM EX Remix. Hell, include Smash Brothers Rumble and Smash Land, too. And if we’re really going wild, Super Clash Bros. and whoever’s not included that’s in those “Blessed Timeline” videos. Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White—

Is it odd Smash Remix might be one of my favorite Smash games? Maybe I'm just too enthusiastic rn

Remembered an old idea of mine, Super Smash War. Basically a competitive strategy spin-off of Smash where you control various video game bosses and their minions to take each other down on various types of maps.

So, as a big example, you’d have your big boss like Bowser, who can fight directly if needed and can heavily buff his units, provide big desperation moves, etc. but their main focus is commanding said armies. If an army is just whittled down to the main boss, you probably allow them big buffs to be able to fight off whoever’s left to make up for it. You’d have second in commands and generals, in Bowser’s case, probably Kamek and the Koopalings, respectively, and you’d have all the various Mario enemies serving different purposes as lower level units, like Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Brothers, Lakitu & Spinies, Bullet Bills, Bob-Ombs, etc.

The main focus would be villains, since they have the most armies to command, but a heroic DLC pack could happen later, as characters like Peach or Marth have enough obvious to use in this respect, most likely.

Off the top of my head, the starting commanders & armies would be Bowser, Ganon/Ganondorf, Mother Brain, King Dedede, Giovanni/Mewtwo, King K. Rool, Andross, Hades or Medusa, Edelgard (arguable), Sturm, Dr. Eggman, Dr. Wily, Dracula, Dr. Zomboss, and Sarah Kerrigan. Or at least, these would be the first selection to choose from, IMO.

Give me a gimmick to make a Smash roster under (IE: Smash for NES, Smash if it was multi-platform, Smash under some other expansion or limitation, etc.) and I'll do it, sure.

Crash Bandicoot and Lara Croft “deserve” to be in Smash off their own merits, but a big reason I’d also want them in is so that an “earlier 3D models” costume pack would feel more complete. NES/SMS and SNES/Genesis/MegaDrive color packs could also be neat, and there’s maybe like one or two big characters left for all those to complete that. I feel like I’ve done a status on this before.

I had a dream we were doing a Creation Thread themed after a Conan O’Brien special called Conan 1984, which was semi-analogue-horror-themed and whose main plot started with a bear getting loose. The thread opened up for us to basically include anything associated with Conan O’Brien or the guests in the special. The only two submissions I remember are Mr. T and this weird-looking Mr. Peanut/Guy Am I (Green Eggs & Ham)/Mike Myers Cat in the Hat hybrid character that was made by a duo of YouTubers involved with the special.

I may have mentioned this before, but my dream game idea in general is a beat-em-up/fighter hybrid. Basically if there was a fighting game sub-genre that had somehow evolved from Double Dragon's VS mode rather than the likes of Yie-Ar Kung-Fu going onto Street Fighter or the Outfoxies begat Smash or Power Stone into regular 3D arena fighters we see today. Real Bout Fatal Fury's side-stepping also shows some of what it might be like. As far as I've seen, this is not a common enough fighting game sub-genre.

I think you'd also have to make it a bit simple in controls to make it appeal to most, similar to Smash, but on paper, I dunno how to make that look different, or what necessary changes may need to be done to accommodate differing movement options. License-wise, very natural ones could be a Battletoads or Battletoads VS Double Dragon or Ninja Turtles game, or maybe even a Simpsons one. Original characters/setting/story would also work very well, especially if they're colorful, varied, odd, but also easy enough to read.

Here we are again now, now doing our first Item job! https://smashboards.com/threads/smashboards-creates-nintendo-vs-everyone-else.520408/#post-24857937

https://smashboards.com/threads/smashboards-creates-nintendo-vs-everyone-else.520408/#post-24856373 Here's the votes for our first Nintendo and non-Nintendo stages, as well!

Now we're doing two stage jobs, one is a Nintendo one, the other one is non-Nintendo ones. https://smashboards.com/threads/smashboards-creates-nintendo-vs-everyone-else.520408/#post-24855280

Actually started a new creation thread for "Nintendo VS Everyone Else"! https://smashboards.com/threads/smashboards-creates-nintendo-vs-everyone-else.520408/ Our first four jobs are character jobs, quite a bonanza :O

Half-thinking of doing my odd "Nintendo VS Everyone Else [in gaming]" as a creation thread, but I have a bad track record in keeping those up, plus there's been a few versions of "Celebration of Gaming History" rosters on here that are somewhat similar, and I don't think it'll top Smash of Another World, for instance. But if people think it'd be fun, I might start it!

I’d rather have “Nintendo VS (Another company)” as a separate game than have a non-VG character in Smash. Hopefully different expectations would be had for that, too, but I doubt it.

AU “Celebration of Gaming” Smash starting in 1999 as a multi-console game. Probably has different priorities at different times, probably would change gaming history a bit, but wondering if SEGA would still go out of business or if you gotta merge them with Microsoft for practical purposes if “the big three” of the time are usually the ones ultimately getting it together. Interesting to think about, feel free to do it as a Creation Thread, if you want.

I can’t believe it, my dad is Kurt Russell and I dated Aubrey Plaza and Bryce Dallas Howard. Also I’m a LEGO. Pretty cool.

I quite like Drifting Dimensions and how it’s turning out (don’t contribute much really because keeping up with Creation threads in addition to other online things and life in general falls down for me :S), though I do also kind of like the idea of a racing game more focused around famous fictional cars/drivers specifically. Not a knock on DriDim at all, just a thought, and I have basically done that kind of roster before.

I'm indecisive and unable to fully form it into a "real" roster, but if I made a Smash fangame, I'd add these more unconventional picks, among others...

Probably many others I could think of. Yes, my priorities would be different than asking for characters in "actual" Smash. Though I wouldn't mind a lot of these, depending.

If I were to actually be decent at programming, get into using that Platform Fighter engine, and I'd want to somehow turn it into something I could sell, I'd mod it to have some MVC elements and make "Public Versus Domain" with characters like Dracula, Bigfoot, Santa Claus, Sherlock Holmes, etc. I feel like that'd be an easier sell to a lot of people, for better or worse.
If I had the wherewithal to make full sprite sheets and program things and/or pay a lot of people, that feels like a more worthwhile project in that respect than actually making Video Game All-Stars or Pop Culture Clash, as fun as those could be.

I tried a Smash roster with no gimmick behind it, although I still made questionable cuts and character choices. Here you go.

If folks want to continue Pop Culture Clash on here, sure, but I'm also half-thinking of reviving it in another form as a Nexed/Super Smash Bros. Historia style project, with some feedback/more occasional submitted content.

It probably would’ve never been given a budget and a green light, but the best Austin Powers game to make back then would’ve been a Goldeneye N64 parody.

Toy-themed platform fighter (whether it was with an actual company or done with pastiche/original characters) could kind of go off. Lots of potential for unique and distinct characters already. You could even make inanimate objects (vehicles, balls, clay, Slinky, etc.) fighters. Items could be “Accessories”, Stages could be “Playsets”, etc.
