Arthur: Ghosts 'n Goblins Support Thread

[Bee Card]

Honestly, Arthur is my pie-in-the-sky pick as a playable character. I don't think he'd ever happen, but he'd be a great surprise.

Simon Belmont was the same for me and finally he has arrived ! Now Monster Hunter and Resident Evil are deconfirmed (and DMC team said that Dante won't join), there's still hopes !

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I'm praying for the lawyer to make it, but I would just be about as happy with the knight. I'm rooting for you guys.

 

[Looma]

You're my last hope if Phoenix goes down, Arthur...

 

[Deleted member]

Phoenix Wright and Arthur are my two preferred Capcom characters so I support! Gosts n' Goblins is such a classic game and if he + Ryu Hayabusa got in that would round up the NES icons for me. (Bill Rizer would also be cool but he'd just be the cherry-on-top for me.)

[Voodoo7995]

This is the one in the latest MarvelvCapcom game right? The knight thats short, really funny to play as... I support 100%

 

[Oddball]

With Kirby, his taunt releases his old powers. What if Arthur's taunt also had a mechanic behind it?

What if Arthur's taught was his armor falling off (or magically being pulled back together if he is already in his underwear?)
Armored Arthur could be slower, more durable, and hit harder, while underweared Arthur could be faster and have higher jumps.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I'd prefer it if his armor just came off on it's own when he hits 100% damage. And yeah, underpants Arthur is lighter.

 

[Oddball]

One of the trademarks of the Ghost and Goblins games are the map screens that show your progress.

If they wanted to give Arthur a larger stage like Hyrule Temple or Palutena's temple, it's be pretty easy to adapt something like this into a stage.

 

[DanganZilla5]

I support!

I have a soft spot for the series, particularly Super Ghouls'n Ghosts which is one of my favorite SNES games. The game is head-bashing hard, but it's so much fun and it's so easy to say "One more try, one more try...". For me, the atmosphere, art style, fast gameplay and creature designs are what draws me in. It makes for a unique series and I hope we get to see another Ghosts n Goblins game. For now, I can only play 3 of the games as I don't have a wonderswan or whatever its called nor a PSP. There were 2 IOS games but they got taken down a long time ago.

What I would love Capcom to do is do what Konami did with Castlevania and Contra and create a collection consisting of most, if not, all the games and have them all be upscaled to 1080p and if they included a book on the history of the series as well as concept art, I would be all over that.

 

[DanganZilla5]

I know double posting is a no no but...

Our knight is being rated in RTC! Go show your support!

 

[Capybara Gaming]

If he gets in and doesn't lose his armor at 100% I will be sorely disappointed.

 

[Oddball]

For his victory screen, I was thinking having him in his underwear. Thena key floats down from the sky. His grabs it, raising it above his head, his armor reappears around him, and he runs off to continue his journey.

 

[DarthEnderX]

New GnG game for Switch!

C'mon baby! Bring me that promotional pick!

 

[Oddball]

Looks awesome, but at the same time it looks like it might be even harder than the series normally is.

 

[DarthEnderX]

As a more modern game, it's probably going to have difficulty settings. Even the previous GnG game had those.

 

[Oddball]

For a spirit board for Arthur I was thinking ....

[Miifighters4Smash5]

I Think Arthur's Chances got slightly Better with the Reveal trailer of the Upcoming Ghosts N' Goblins Resurrection Video game. . .

 

[DarthEnderX]

Not being a completely dead franchise certainly helps I would think. Indeed.

Speaking of which, it's only a month away now!

 

[Janx_uwu]

and DMC team said that Dante won't join), there's still hopes !

When did they say that?

Also I support Sir Arthur for Smash. Pretty fun game.

 

[Miifighters4Smash5]

BTW. . .
If Sir Arthur were to Get into Smash. . . ESPECIALLY with the Reveal of the UPCOMING Ghosts n' Goblins Resurrection Game Coming Out. . . I Have some things I'd Love to discuss these aspects of A Potential Arthur Reveal. . .

1. What would His Moveset be like( such as his Grabs, Throws, Smash Attacks, Down Tilt, B Moves, A Moves, Final Smash, etc)
2. What would his Stage be?
3. Aside from the MOST Iconic Ghosts n' Goblins video game theme Music; What other Music would be included alongside Sir Arthur?
4. What would Sir Arthur's Classic Mode look like?
5. What Alternate Costumes/Palette Swaps Would He Have?

 

[DarthEnderX]

2. What would his Stage be?

I can't imagine it'll be anything other than a Stage 1 Graveyard/Demon Village. It's like the only iconic stage that shows up in every game.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Man, it really looks like this might have all the bosses from the first two games in it.

1. I think it would be something like this one on Reddit (minus turning into a skeleton at 125% and having only boxers will make Arthur a bit faster, but lighter/vulnerable).
2. Just as DarthEnderX said, a scrolling graveyard stage from the first game with lots of zombies, Red Arremers and Woody Pigs appearing as stage hazards.
3. While we'll have most songs from the GnG series overall (such as Ghouls' stage 2 which was remixed in a new trailer), maybe a list will also have some tracks from Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest and Maximo as well.
4. Fighting against fellow knights such as Link, Marth, Meta Knight, Mii Swordfighter (Black Knight costume) and Simon Belmont (has to be included). Dracula will obviously appear as his boss.
5. Most of those may be based on his other armors such as Golden, Bronze, Warrior, Cursed and Dark. Likely even a white armor with red beard to reference his NES sprite.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

So now that we are getting a new Ghosts 'n Goblins game on the Switch, how does that stand for Arthur's chances in Smash?

Up 8 million percent!

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

game makes use of Capcom's RE engine

A 3D engine for a 2D game? Madness. I never noticed.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I mean, lots of games do that now. Almost nobody but indie devs use actual 2D engines anymore. It's very easy now to use a 3D engine and still make it look 2D.

 

[CroonerMike]

Definitely want to bring this thread up to light again!
I totally think Arthur has a huge chance of being in the game.

Not even due to promotional because I don’t necessarily believe in promotional stuff for smash even though they do.

id be SO pumped for some ghost and goblins content in smash.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I don't think his chances are huge. But it's definitely some. And he definitely deserves it.

 

[CroonerMike]

Im Trying to come up with a unique move set for him since it seems most of our DLC is about cool mechanics.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Been playing Resurrection all day. It's pretty great so far.

I'm playing on the 2nd lowest difficulty(cause lowest difficulty makes you invincible...), and it's STILL freaking hard. But at least there aren't lives anymore. So I never have to start a whole level over.

It sucks that there's no SNES Double Jump though...

 

[Perkilator]

Source Gaming did a video on Arthur:

So I support!

 

[CroonerMike]

Been playing resurrection during my breaks of work. Loving it so far. Really makes me want Arthur.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I like how the boss battles feel like they were really influenced by cuphead. They're long with lots of phases.

The game shoulda had one more level though. Every boss from 1 and 2 is in the game except Gassuto(the Kracko looking thing from 2).

I would love it if this game got Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts levels as DLC along with the Double Jump. As that really is the best in the series.

My first play through, I didn’t see the ability tree. So I get to the 5th level and finally notice it...I was like “oh man...this would of made the game so much easier” lol

 

[DarthEnderX]

I actually find the spells to be pretty useless cause they take so long to charge. But the ability to hold multiple weapons is a MUST GET ability.

 

[Mr. Stevenson]

I strongly support Sir Arthur! While not exactly my number 1 choice for the next NES icon newcomer, I always thought the knight himself is easily the best option for a 3rd (well, technically 4th) Capcom newcomer.

It’s great how with the new game out, his chances pretty much skyrocketed. Speaking of which, the game and its art style look really charming, might wanna try it out one of these days.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Lol, I thought that was my banner for a second. But mine isn't that high res.

 

[Perkilator]

Made a trailer concept for Sir Arthur:

Spoiler: Knight in Shining Boxers

The scene opens up to 's keep, with him holding hostage in a cage. break through to take down the Koopa King, and a fight to the death ensues on the bridge over lava. charge forward, but acts smartly and pushes the axe at the end to destroy the bridge and sends the two heroes to their doom. They both jump along the broken pieces of the bridge, only for to grab with a Koopa Claw and piledrive him into . However, the two heroes are saved when a lance is thrown from far away and sitcks them on a ledge while launching . lands near the cage and takes notice of the knight who attacked him. He bravely jumps forth and faces the beast.

"Fiendish king! I challenge thee!"

Arthur
Steels Himself!

Arthur charges forward towards , only to be burnt alive by his fire breath. Luckily, Arthur survives...at the cost of being reduced to his boxers.

"It'll take more than a simple flame to vanquish Sir Arthur!"

Arthur
Gives It Another Go!

Arthur is shown in his boxers regaining his armor. He uses several familiar weapons of his and takes on characters associated with demons and darkness (including Ganon and Dracula). Gameplay then switches to the Demon Village stage, with several enemies making an appearance. The last bit of the trailer involves Arthur taking down a Red Arremer, upgrading to Holy Armor, and then finishing off Bowser with his Final Smash, the Goddess Bracelet.

SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE x GHOSTS 'N GOBLINS

Arthur then leaps over the remains of the bridge to rescue the princesses...only to see their cages empty and them already resuced by , much to the knight's shock.
