A small part of me is interested in seeing like, a Metroid fighting game. Like, it takes place in a big map right, and each character has some special ability that helps with progression. Then you have to find and eliminate each other. Even so I feel like there'd be so many issues with this premise that it would wind up being, like, boring as hell. For characters though I think there's some cool potential.

For instance, if we were to ditch the whole canon of Metroid (okay this might sound bad already but hear me out,) we could have cool picks like some of the Hunters seen in, well, Hunters - oh, and Prime 3! Hell, even bosses like Dark Samus, Ridley, or a playable Zeta Metroid could be fun to see, as well as more recent choices like EMMI and [HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED FOR SPOILER REASONS]! Even so, I get why something like this could end up being unpopular. What would your thoughts be?

RANDOM QUESTION FOR Y'ALL.

What new Rotom forms would you want to see in terms of battle and the like? I feel like some new types of Rotom could be fun to see, and I'm sure y'all would come up with really cool ideas!

One idea I'd love to see is a Rotom with an Electric/Fighting typing. Essentially, it takes the form of a console, or more likely, an arcade cabinet! Based on fighting games as a whole, its special "plasma" thingies take the form of large glowing fists.

WHY ARE AURORA BOREALIS AND CRYPTOSANTA (a part of neil cicierega's album I Am Become Christmas) SO GOOD I CAN'T HANDLE IT

This might be a hot take, but I would kill to see a modernised design of Sukapon as a DLC character in ARMS, or ARMS2 if that's happening. As stupid as this sounds (Sukapon doesn't have arms, I hear you holler,) hear me out.

1. Even people who don't know of Joy Mech Fight can appreciate the inclusion of a brand new character, especially one as wacky as Sukapon.
2. Fans of Joy Mech Fight (such as myself!!) would be overjoyed to see our happy lil fella come back into the limelight.
3. Sukapon could actually have a really unique playstyle - not having ARMS, he has a high amount of control over his punches, but slightly less speed to counter this.
4. His stage could also be pretty unique too! I imagine it could take place in the carnival stage, but I would also suggest the Moon as an alternate locale.

Oh, he wouldn't have any ARMS to use? Allow me to counter that.

Sukapon ARMS:
Type: Glove
Attribute: Stun
Weight: I

Honou ARMS:
Type: Multi-Shot
Attribute: Fire
Weight: III

Sasuke ARMS:
Type: Whip
Attribute: Wind
Weight: II

Each of these are based on various playable characters in the original game - and given there's no less than 8, as well as tons more robots that aren't playable, then there's no shortage!

Idk, this is just a fun idea I just had... I just wanna see my smol pink fella back in the limelight again...

I feel like there's a surprising amount of potential in rebooting forgotten IPs in different formats. Here's an idea I just came up with:

A Rent-A-Hero Netflix series.

I mean, it sort of writes itself. Rent-A-Hero was originally a Genesis game, but then there was a cancelled remake on Xbox too. However, aside from like one appearance in Fighters Megamix, he just like never turned up again.

In terms of tone, Rent-A-Hero has this really campy, self-aware sort of thing going on, and there's a small part of me that wants to see it as a bizarre cross between Kick-Ass, Better Call Saul and general SEGA stuff. Like, it seems like it could be a really cool thing - especially with a sort of Retrowave aesthetic to the soundtrack. (Also, a brawl taking place in some neon arcade with some thumping synths sounds like a really cool setpiece.)

I mean this is only one thing that I just came up with now and it would probably butcher the source material, but I mean... there's potential there.

if they dont add big the ****ing cat to the next smash bros, i am going to burn down the entire country of japan with a single match and then realise my grevious mistake of posting it onto smashboards several years later that ultimately leads to my eventual arrest and execution

He is here to say hello to all the denizens of SmashBoards, and wish them an excellent morning/afternoon/evening/night

I've just started delving into the greater Mega Man fandom, and it never occurred to me that there would be a rock band based on the Mega Man series.

Let alone two.

A small part of me wants to get that 6 foot tall Snorlax plush because I'm insane, but I'm also broke as hell and have nowhere near enough space for such a chonky boy. Damn...

Thanks for the follow!

One thing I think would be really cool to see in future SMT/Persona titles is the introduction of urban legends, or even certain creepypastas, but with an SMT coat of paint - especially after contemporary literature was sampled for use in Persona 5. A small part of me is intrigued to see how something like Polybius would translate to the whole system, and for the sake of ****posts, Sonic.exe.

I wonder what a fighting game roster would look like if it were completely made up of British television characters? I imagine characters like Mr. Bean, one of the Doctors (my money would actually be on David Tennant) and Ant and Dec would be lock-ins for a roster like this, but who would you want to see?

A part of me is actually wondering how a Persona 5 Arena would even pan out. There are, after all, certain aspects that should be considered.

1.
2.
3.
4.
Idk, it seems like there's a lot of interesting questions here. I guess a roster could be cool, and there's still a ton of questions regarding the whole situation with ArcSys, but that aside, P5A could be an interesting sight...

I don't know if this is just me being pessimistic, but I'm... worried about MultiVersus. It seems like a good idea, but there's a few things that are bugging me that I'll mention below.

1. The "free-to-play" model.
As we know, we don't know what they mean by this... but I'm hoping it isn't as bad as I'm thinking. It's possible you could take it in a similar way to a game like Brawlhalla, but the problem is, I feel like lootboxes and microtransactions would wind up ruining the experience.

2. It's too big.
The problem is, why pick Space Ghost when you could pick LeBron James? Multiversus taking up the entirety of WB gives it a lot of potential, but also has the potential to look like those Fortnite ****posts where someone puts low-quality JPEGs of Thanos, John Wick and Naruto onto Tilted Towers. Even so, though, this opens up a lot of very unusual picks in itself - my own personal favourite has to be Neo, from the Matrix.

3. The "service" model.
Games like Marvel's Avengers have proven that this can go south. I feel like it's possible the game, at launch, will feel... empty - given that it only seems to, at current, have 15 characters for instance, I'm not sure it'll catch on right away. The problem is, if it doesn't catch on right away, they won't add more content, leading to a vicious cycle.

I hate to start with cynicism, but... this has potential to be great, and potential to fail. I just want to be realistic.

(Please though we need Neo in there especially in his classic design)

Random thought - what if copyright instantly died and someone made a platform fighter purely made up of Tumblr "sexymen?"

My own theory for characters include:


What ideas do you have for what I imagine would be an absolute hellhole of a game? :D

i got 76 upvotes on an adam sandler ****post, am i a world famous influencer now

Adding Space Harrier in Smash would cause Funny memes to Appear in Smash Fandom:
Space Harrier Memes be like:

• Deep Fried Image of Space Harrier with Captions: "I'm gonna spam my Neutral B"
• Oh look, Fox 2.0 is added into Smash
• Aw heck nah, Space Harrier has too small and Lanky Hitbox
• SPACE HARRIER IS BROKEN S++ Tier Character
• Space Harrier has longer F-smash range than Sephiroth

And More memes.

There's a small, slightly insane part of me that wants to see how someone could hypothetically go about representing LSD Dream Emulator in Smash.

Is this a random 3am thought? Yes. It absolutely is.

I hope we get more Namco arcade music in the next Smash game. Especially stuff from the Namco Museum games - this Xevious remix, this Dig Dug theme thingy and this Phozon theme were really cool, and I think that more chill stuff like that could work well in Smash.

Like, I feel like this is probably a hot take, but I think that chiller EDM remixes can work pretty well in Smash as battle themes. Aside from that - I also think that it would be cool to see jungle mixes (if Bomberman gets in and he doesn't have Redial as one of his music tracks, I'm going to literally explode)

Possibly a hot take, but I think Master Kohga could genuinely be a cool, but funny, pick for the next Smash Bros. Plus, his Final Smash is basically Kamikazee but better. Who wouldn't love a boulder four times the size of Battlefield rolling down upon your Pichu?

Half the reason I bang on all the time about Beat getting into Smash is just for the sake of Hideki Naganuma's music getting into Smash. Only like if you want funky fresh beats in funny game

I think I've become addicted to Japanese Jazz. (No, I don't mean the Persona 5 soundtrack, but that's killer too.)

This... is a good day. Time to have everyone in my college question what the hell I'm listening to on Monday all over again LMAO

I think one character people don't give much thought to, but is a genuinely plausible pick, is M. Bison from the Street Fighter series. He's a rare situation where, like, his moveset actually has a lot of potential, but at the same time, could be quite simple to think up. Here's my own concept for his Specials, at least:

Neutral B: Psycho Shot. Acting as a projectile, I think this one is pretty interesting. Though it's a little similar to how Hadouken works with its speed being able to be controlled by the input, I think that doing the input for it should have it work a little more like Psycho Cannon - moving slower, but with a bigger hitbox and a multi-hit property as well as big damage.

Side B: Psycho Crusher! Having Bison prepare himself before launching sideways, coating himself in Psycho Power, I think it would be a good move if it multihits opponents that it hits, as well as being able to be aimed slightly upward or downward when used on the ground (and being a good recovery tool in the air.) Inputting the correct command gives it a little more power and range.

Up B: I think this should be Bison Warp. Being a teleport, some might think of it as unoriginal, but I think the interesting difference here would be that, compared to say Mewtwo or Palutena, it has slightly shorter range - but significantly less end-lag, as well as being able to act after it (though it can only be used once in the air.) When on the ground, it works a little more like a counter of sorts - taking the form of Hell's Warp, using it "through" an opponent puts them in a stunned state, allowing you to punish them with low end-lag. However, it requires a read - long start-lag makes it unsafe on shield.

Down B: In this case, I'd like to suggest Devil Reverse. Acting a little like ZSS's Down B, this has Bison leap into the air, but if you don't make an input, it essentially turns into Head Press on the other side - which is a spike that can bury opponents on the ground. However, it's also possible to cancel it by tapping B again, which has Bison activate the Reverse - stopping his momentum forward and having him bring a fist down coated in Psycho Power, which actually also has a spike on the initial swing - as well as doing minor damage for a short time! This can also be used as a recovery move, as it doesn't leave you vulnerable after use - in fact, you could even use your double jump out of it!

Lastly, his two Final Smashes would be the Nightmare Booster when close-up, or the Final Psycho Crusher when at longer range from an opponent.

The idea of Excitebike Racer getting into Smash, but using the bike as a melee weapon similar to how Kiryu can use a motorbike in Yazuka or kinda like Dante's motorbike sword in DMC5, is so hiarious to me that I think it would work beautifully. Like, the idea of the dash being to just plop the bike on the ground and ride it, and then the dash attack being to flip over and slam the bike in front of them, is so ridiculous that I think it would work.

Also, having the god damn Excitebike Racer as a swordfighter would probably break Smashboards

Hot Take #2732947742

I honestly think that Snake, from Snake (the Nokia one) would be a cool Assist Trophy. Here's how I imagine it:

Essentially when you summon it, it has two "blocks" and moves around, with other dots on the stage. If the snake touches them, it grows by one "block" as in the original game. Where it gets interesting is that the snake itself is an interactable platform - it works as a wall, it can be grabbed, and it can be walked on (and maybe dropped through?) The sheer level of recovery bull**** with this Assist Trophy would be hilarious - and maybe you could make the dots healing items similar to food?

Also, the idea of getting Nokia ringtones in Smash is just so ridiculously hilarious to me, and yet seems so damn funny that it could work. I mean, just look at this like, it's the funny

I feel like it would have been really cool if certain Spirits also came with music. The idea of a Plok! event coming with various Plok! music that gets added to the Other section after you beat the Plok! spirits is really cool to me.

Is this just me begging for Plok! music in Smash?

...yes.

DLC fighters that would piss everyone off

1. "Skylanders." The gimmick is that you, as well as paying for the DLC, also have to buy physical Skylanders toys as well as the portal to scan them in, at which point you can play as them. Being KO'd means you have to wait 3 hours to play as them again. However, every single Skylander is in the game (except Crash and Spyro due to "licensing issues" so scanning them just gives you Gill Grunt)

2. IKEA POÄNG chair. The chair moves around by bouncing around the stage on its "legs" and attacks with various different IKEA products. Also, downloading this DLC fighter will automatically change your system's default language to Swedish, and Sakurai hard-deconfirms PewDiePie as a playable character in the Direct.

3. A Mario Kart but with no driver. That's it. It's just the ****ing kart but it attacks with items, with the Blue Shell being the Final Smash. Also, the only "attack" it has is its neutral B, Item Box, which will have you roll for a random item that you'll get.

4. A banana from the Donkey Kong Country series, which acts as a DKC rep. It's actually the single most powerful character in the game, and yet somehow gets small buffs every single patch. It's able to walk around on the peels, as well as summoning an infinite number of banana-related items significantly faster than Diddy Kong, which results in the entire Diddy Kong fandom migrating to Banana.

5. a minion from despicable me

What do you think of my incredible Fighters Pass concept?

Sometimes, people have very random and very bad ideas, and I just had one.

What if Buzz Buzz, from EarthBound, were playable? After all, every single move of his would just be PK Shield so I guess he'd be a glass cannon who dies instantly if hit, but every single attack of his is a counter/reflector!

This might seem like a random question, but - do any of you have an idea for a cool "theme" for a fighting game? Kinda like how Darkstalkers is mostly based on monsters and the like - I think it would be hella interesting to see your thoughts!

On the note of random PSASBR stuff (given it's a dead series so I guess I'm raising it from the dead haha funny halloween joke), something pretty funny actually just occurred to me.

Despite the fact that characters like Crash and Cloud were so heavily requested, one of the big requests has always been Spyro. Now, whilst Spyro didn't manage to make it in because of the amount of money Activision wanted at the time, a funny point to me is the fact that if Spyro did get in, people would have complained. A lot. In fact, Spyro is arguably the most likely of the three.

See, Spyro would in my opinion, with like 90% certainty, have been his Skylanders form - after all, Skylanders was huge at the time, so I can imagine Activision wanting to promote it - hence why I don't think personally think Crash would have been as likely as Spyro. Sure, it's not as bad as the Dante situation with his DMC appearance, but I think that people would have been... peeved with it.

This might seem like a really random point, but I'm actually really shocked at how rarely Alucard is discussed as a potential newcomer when people talk about a sequel PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Given the importance of Symphony of the Night as a PS1 title, and the sheer moveset potential, it seems like a really weird omission to me.

Then again... maybe it's because of people recognising Konami's current nature?

So, this might be a hot take, but... I would love to see a Shenmue series.

I don't think that the lengthy, interconnected story of Shenmue as a whole would be suited to a movie, but the idea of a series - following the journey of Ryo to avenge his father by defeating Lan Di over the course of multiple seasons, travelling along the way between different locations, genuinely seems like something that could be truly special.

And then I remember that it's a video game series so the translation would likely be absolutely terrible.

I feel like more anime should get the FighterZ treatment, and finally branch into 2D fighters as opposed to arena fighters.

I mean, looking at titles like My Hero One's Justice and Jump Force... it might just be me and my own personal preference for 2D titles, but I feel like they could have worked really well in that sort of style.

Probably doesn't help that arena fighters have such a stigma nowadays because so many of them were... meh-to-bad.

Given that Disney acquired FOX, I wonder if the next Kingdom Hearts will have Sora journey to the far off land of Quahog in order to defeat the Heartless alongside Peter Griffin.

Or maybe they'll throw a curveball and have him go to the world of Futurama instead.

Personally, I have pretty mixed feelings about Multiversus.

Even if it does end up being a fighting game as opposed to some mobile Gacha game, which is actually pretty possible (much to my disappointment, but hey what can I do), I think that the roster would genuinely suffer because of what it is.

"Warner Bros." is too big.

Looking at something like Nickelodeon, Nintendo or even PlayStation, there's sort of a rough idea of certain characters and series who are more well-known than others. This is why, on a conceptual level, games like NASB, Ultimate and even PS All-Stars could work well.

The thing is, Multiversus couldn't add smaller characters. Like, at all. If they were to focus on something like Cartoon Network, Looney Tunes or even just WB movies, then I think it would work well - they're "self-contained" enough to, within reason, work, and having guest fighters like some Hanna-Barbera characters (such as Fred Flintstone) could work well too. The thing is, a full WB crossover would have so many "big characters" that, well, it would be literally impossible to have smaller or more obscure picks there, simply because of how much stuff WB owns.

As much as it's fun to speculate, I constantly feel like people's Multiversus concept rosters - whilst being incredibly cool (Seriously though, I love seeing people's concepts!) always seem to lack certain characters, and always for the same reason - mostly, "WB owns that much stuff that it wouldn't be possible to represent everything." It's not that they're making bad rosters - they're usually hella cool!! - it's just a matter that WB is too big.

Personally, if I were WB, I'd probably stick to something like Cartoon Network. Even so, I'm hopeful it goes well... and that it isn't some gacha game

I think that Pyra and Mythra are actually a surprisingly good example of how "echoes" could be handled in future installments.

Unlike characters like Dark Pit, Lucina and Daisy, who are essentially carbon copies with different models and the occasional different animation, or even more popular echoes like Chrom and Dark Samus (EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ITS OWN PROBLEMS), the pair actually work pretty well because of how they're used.

Notably, I think that having them have the same basic toolkit works well - but an aspect I especially like is how they differ in damage output, lag, knockback and other such matters, whilst maintaining the same baseline animations. It's, to me at least, a clever way of handling the echo formula - and a great way to further differentiate the fighters without having to expend too many resources. Then, having different specials on top of that essentially differentiates them enough to the point where they feel different enough to be their "own characters," despite needing nowhere near as much work as other, more "unique" fighters.

For example, let's look at Lucina. As opposed to having her play essentially identically to Marth (aside from the tipper mechanic, of course,) what if her attacks were slightly slower, but dealt a bit more damage despite having similar knockback? It would at least make her a different beast - more equivalent perhaps to Roy, but with her own benefits and drawbacks. (For clarification, I haven't actually played Awakening, so this could genuinely be a bad suggestion in my part - it was just the idea that came to me given her playstyle and what I do know about her.)

Something really funny just occurred to me.

See, with NASB being, well, popular, a lot of people have suggested CN do the same (OR SEGA HINT HINT) but hear me out here - what if PBS Kids did it?

The idea of Elmo, Thomas the Tank Engine, Arthur, Cailiou, Barney the Dinosaur, Bob the Builder, Clifford the Big Red Dog and the Teletubbies being in a fighter like this seems too genius to pass up. Add Mr. Rogers as the announcer and you have a work of art.

The thing that concerns me about the recent Expansion Pack is something that I don't think a lot of people seem to have mentioned. Simply put - either way, we lose.

Sure, paying $50 a year for it is ridiculous - which I wouldn't deny in the slightest. It's completely logical that people are against it. However, I have an alternative theory - because I hear a lot of people saying like "Don't buy it! Don't give them money!" which, to be honest, I totally understand. I get that it's a logical response to bad business practices. However, I have reason to believe that Nintendo's history with this sort of thing will result in something simple.

If nobody buys the Expansion Pack, regardless of the reasoning, Nintendo will probably think, "Well, it looks like people aren't interested in the N64." That's concerning to me, and it feels at the moment like they're putting people in an awkward situation with this sort of thing.

I wish to stress, I'm not advocating for piracy here, but... is it any wonder that it's such a popular option to people, when the official options are, well... this?

I always find that Hyrule Warriors had some pretty weird omissions in characters, especially considering the characters added. For instance, Vaati not being added always seemed weird to me when we got Yuga... and I always found it even stranger that characters like Onox, the Happy Mask Salesman and Demise weren't even referenced.

Here's a cool question for y'all - if you could add an all new type to Pokemon, what would it be?

Personally, I would add Cosmic. Given there's already a lot of "cosmic" Pokemon already, it seems like a cool idea, plus there's a few cool things you could do stylewise - an Eeveelution with a style a little like various galaxies could be really cool!!
