Would you say 14 fighters would be a good enough starting roster for an indie plat-fighter game? That is the amount I am aiming for, not too big or small.

Here is an interesting question, what do you think is the WORST DESIGNED CHARACTER you have ever seen in a fighting game, they are not just bad but DISFUNCTIONALLY bad, and tell me why

Now my biggest challenge is upon me for my Platfighter, trying to make my characters move

I think each character in my Platfighter can have one of 3 selectable Overmax Attacks, basically the Final Smash equivalents, instead of Smash Balls you can use Overmax Attacks by filling up a meter, sorta like a normal Hyper Attack you see in a typical fighting game. Aside from picking on which Overmax Attack you want to use out of 3, you also have the option of performing it manually or automatically; manually means you have to use a combo input to use the attack, while automatically means you just need to press the Special button to activate this. The choice is less one-sided as once you have your Overmax Attack ready in automatic mode, you are locked out of your Neutral Special until you use it, which can lock some characters out of potential combos, especially if said Neutral Special can be a good lead into the Overmax Attack you chose. Each Overmax Attack also takes a certain amount of meter energy to be usable, some taking more meter than others. Overmax Attacks are not solely offensive moves, you can also have defensive Overmax Attacks such as ones that temporarily give you super armor, ones that heal you a specific amount, and ones that improve your mobility. How does that sound so far?

What makes a good twist villain in your eyes, like I have three types of villains in my story, the villain behind the villain, a villain who is actually heroic, and a heroic looking person who is actually a giant vile piece of work and Jack Horner levels evil, these are the main antagonists for my platfighter game

My working title for my platfighter is Sigma Busters

In my Platfighter, I'm considering making my Arcade/Adventure to work sorta like Smash Run, defeat enemies to gain xp to make your attacks stronger and try and be strong enough to fight event bosses, there is a typical Classic mode too but the main "story" mode of the game is more like Smash Run

I thought of this opening naration for my Platfighter, how does it look:

The year is 278X, the age of interstellar exploration and civilization. An era where many alien species mingle together in relative harmony and peace. However that peace became broken when what was supposed to be the maiden voyage of the most ambitious ship of all time, the Double Sigma, manned by twin Android AIs LAMBDA and EPSILON, was lost with no sign of its location. While in the moment people morned this great tragedy, it eventually became just another ship lost to time.

Now the year is 287X, and a crack in the universe caused the Double Sigma to return to space, however one of the androids, EPSILON is now threatening a galactic wide war alongside strange creatures of the void. As a result of this crisis the governments of the universe decide to send out their best soilders to raid the ship. News of this crisis has also spread to bounty hunters and other strange individuals, who decide to enter this ship to get the riches within. With LAMBDA here to assist these unlikely heroes, who will take down EPSILON.

Tiering placements aside do you think Ryu, Terry, and Kazuya's movesets make a good fine line between traditional fighting game characters and plat-fighter characters, in other words, do their movesets do you think the devs do a good job converting traditional fighting game mechanics to a plat-fighter, to the extent you would play an entire game where EVERYONE had Ryu/Terry/Kazuya styled movesets

Do you think being the main character in a fighting game has to make said character very basic in terms of moveset?

My OCD brain spent a bit analyzing Dan Hibiki's Gadouken (the small green fireballs he shoots) and I quite like the concept and think it can be used for a serious setting. A move of one of my characters is a chargeable energy ball that the longer they charge the farther it shoots out, however, the farther they shoot out the fewer ticks of damage the ball will give, so its best sometimes to not charge it and only shoot it barely in front of you to rack up more damage ticks. Does an attack like that make sense and could work ,like a platfighter?

Okay update, animations aren't as bad as I thought, so my development on my Platfighter is going smoothly

I just reached the biggest obstacle of my project so far, attempting to recreate the animations for all of Fox's moveset, FRAME BY FRAME

I am going to attempt a crack at making my own plat-fighter, wish me luck

I find it funny how everyone all of a sudden hates Viziepop now

Tell me when there is going to be a Steamboat Willie Reanimated, I want to see that the most

With Steamboat Willie being in the public domain, does that mean the original Mickey Mouse cartoon, Plane Crazy, is in the public domain as well?

Happy New Year Guys, Gals, and Those In-Betweeners

Name an odder movie scene that somehow became a meme template than this one

So exactly is a Pupper and Stance Fighter in a fighting game, those are the two archetypes I just don't get the most

Am I becoming the guy who always asks the insightful game design questions? Is that my "niche" on this platform?

Question: if a Grappler-type fighter has a projectile attack, does that not make them a Grappler in your eyes, giving examples of Grappler-type fighters with projectile attacks from actual video games would be nice for examples sake

What is the weirdest non-Shrek game to have a thriving competitive scene in your opinion

Do you think it's antithetical to make a plat-fighter with characters whose movesets comprise of a traditional fighting game moveset, like think everyone on the roster is like Kazuya/Terry/Ryu

Name a character who you hate but like their powerset/concept and wish they were given to a different character:

D'vorah from Mortal Kombat, I like her insect powers and poison abilities, hate her role in the story, but I do wish she gets a more fleshed out and improved spiritual successor in MK1

I am genuinely asking if this old ad from the 2000s is fatphobic or not since I have nothing better to do.

Man I wish Mario Kart 8 wasn't so expensive to get, I am itching for a good racing game to play online.

Hot Take:
Dry Dry Desert is an unironically good Mario Kart course, agree or disagree

I made a realization for my self, I prefer smaller games over big budget tripple a games, mainly since I can store more of the former and the former seems to have more entertainment value

Any reason why the Gamecube is always abbreviated as GCN despite not having an N in its name? Why not GCB? I feel like that's more natural.

hey, the entire Xcom trilogy is on steam for 15 bucks.

Did you know Kumatora's name from Mother 3 translates into "bear-tiger" in Japanese? Make that of what you will.

So why was Jigglypuff in the initial Smash Bros roster instead of someone like Charizard or Mewtwo?

Who do you like better to play as in Smash Bros, Ness or Lucus?

Don't you love getting out of context clips from obscure shows in your recomended.

GEOMETRY DASH 2.2 IS OUT I REPEAT GEOMETRY DASH 2.2 IS OUT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Would you rather have a very large but imbalanced roster in a fighting game, or a small but condensed roster?

Has anyone played this game, does it count as a Gollumlike

Does anyone play Marvel vs Capcom 3?
