Capcom Fighting All-Stars

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

In light of the recent promotional art events between Osamu Tezuka's characters and Capcom, I felt like it'd be a good opportunity to actually give this a go - and learn more about Tezuka's work in the process! (With that in mind, if I make any mistakes when describing anyone on that side, I deeply apologise.)

TEZUKA SIDE:

1. Atom is honestly an obvious pick to the point where if he wasn't here I think there would be riots in the streets. Jokes aside, he's well-suited to this role, and I think him having a rivalry with Mega Man would be fairly natural. As for how he'd fight, he'd use his various special abilities and his horsepower to be a surprisingly versatile jack-of-all-trades!
2. Atlas is the only Tezuka character to double up on a franchise - namely Astro Boy - and whilst I did consider Pluto for this role, I quite like Atlas's continual battles and rivalry against Atom and think there's potential. Even beyond that, his use of an electrified sword gives him plenty of potential to be a unique and powerful combatant!
3. Sapphire is another decently obvious pick as the protagonist of Princess Knight, with a sword-based moveset that should have a fancy, almost rapier-like quality to it. Think akin to sports like fencing!
4. Black Jack is another decently obvious and popular pick, and I think he'd have a lot of potential using different medical equipment in combat - anything from scalpels to defibrillators! Honestly, it'd be funny to have him go up against Ryunosuke who'd comment on this technically breaking the Hippocratic Oath? That said, he'd also have Pinoko support him in the background, though she doesn't get involved in combat.
5. Hosuke Sharaku is another decently obvious pick from The Three-Eyed One, though I'm not 100% sure how to handle him. It'd be neat to have him take off the bandage around his head prior to a match and then use his fantastical abilities throughout, so as to represent both of his sides.
6. Hyakkimaru is an example of a difficult, but logical choice. Coming from Dororo, I originally had Dororo himself in this role, but given Hyakkimaru is generally the more popular character to begin with, I felt he'd be fun (perhaps with Dororo in a supporting role similar to Pinoko, but actually attacking once or twice in his own unique way.)
7. Kimba/Leo is another obvious and iconic pick, this time from Jungle Emperor/Kimba the White Lion. I imagine his moveset would be a little odd, being that he's not humanoid, but he'd likely summon in some of his animal friends for some attacks to give him a little extra oomph.
8. Rainbow Parakeet is a pretty cool character in my opinion, narrowly missing out on being one of the earliest manga characters who happen to be a phantom thief... a mere matter of weeks after Lupin III. That said, Rainbow Parakeet's theatre-based modus operandi would lend to a genuinely very unique moveset that could include elements from theatre as well as traditional phantom thief archetypes.
9. Chocola was another interesting example of going with a side pick for variety's sake. Originally being the daughter of Don Dracula from his eponymous series, I felt that going with him might be a little formulaic, whereas Chocola (being a vampiric child!) would have a lot of unique potential that'd differentiate her from other picks.
10. Rock Holmes is my first pick mainly chosen due to his relevance in the Star System, though given the nature of said system, he's usually fairly similar throughout. Whilst his origin is technically Rock Holmes: Boy Detective, I'd like to focus on giving him more of a James Bond-esque feel with a more grey characterisation than others, indicating he's from halfway between his more heroic interpretations in The Adventure of Rock and his ruthless villainy in Vampires and Alabaster.
11. Shunsaku Ban, on the other hand, was an obvious candidate to include given he's effectively the icon of the Star System... who I also think would work better in a more traditional "detective" role. His intelligence, detective skills, and strong sense of justice would undoubtedly give him a pretty unique feel overall, and I think he'd honestly be another one of the few characters I think would be required in a game like this in a major role.
12. Ambassador Magma was a difficult pick to justify, because whilst he's undoubtedly important and was massively influential on the "giant man-shaped things fighting" genre that'd eventually coalesce into genres like mecha, he is... big. Like, really big. Then again, he felt too important not to include, and he's a much-needed heavyweight. Think of him being a similar sort of size to MVC3's Sentinel, if not just a little bigger, but not as big as the giant characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
13. Lemon Kid was a deeper cut but one I felt would be pretty fun. He's a gunslinger who formerly looked up to Melon Kid, before going down his own path of justice - and as a gunslinging cowboy, I think his moveset would be decently unique amongst the cast too! Not many notes on him to be honest, I just felt he'd be a fun inclusion that'd be a little unexpected.
14. Son-Goku is another pick I felt was pretty logical - plus, this technically wouldn't be the first time an adaptation of Journey to the West got a character in a Capcom VS. game, hmm? That aside, he's got plenty of moveset potential with things like his staff, his cloud, and other parts of the original story and Tezuka's adaptation of it.
15. Triton is our last pick, who I initially deliberated on, but eventually decided would be a lot of fun. Originally from Triton of the Sea, he's languished in relative obscurity, but has a lot of moveset potential given he fights with a trident and alongside sea animals. If we give him moves like that, plus some sort of ability to control water, we could easily take inspiration from Aquaman in the Injustice series or something like that!

A couple of notes: Phoenix acts as a prominent story character due to their ability to grant eternal life, though I'm not sure whether they'd be a boss. You can't play as them, however. I also felt it'd be in bad taste to include Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) or Adolf Hitler, given both are real historical figures (one associated with religion, the other with genocide) - though I do think Tezuka himself could serve a fun role in the story somehow, given his history of self-inserting into his own works!

Also, I did momentarily consider Alabaster, but I feel like he would be a little... unsuited to this kind of game, given his method of killing? On the note of feeling ill-suited to the role, Unico's insistence on pacifism unless absolutely necessary feels unfitting to a fighting game. Oh, and lastly, Hyoutantsugi would feature throughout the game in random roles usually for comedy - but isn't playable as a character, which I think kind of reflects his role in Tezuka's works pretty well.

CAPCOM SIDE:

1. Mega Man heads up this roster, which is perhaps a little odd given the apparent continual death of the series, but makes sense when you consider this is a Capcom vs. Tezuka game. Specifically, this is his classic form, so it'd take hints from his appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom and the Power Fighters series, as well as elements from throughout the classic series. Side note, but Roll would probably be a story character who'd appear a few times (perhaps alongside Uran!)
2. Zero (MMZ) is perhaps an odd choice, but I think he'd work pretty well here. Whilst Proto Man or Bass might seem like the more obvious rival to (presumably) Atlas, I think Zero's MMZ form would lend to a decently unique moveset and some good story potential in relation to robot morals. Plus, his moveset has plenty of potential just beyond his Z-Saber and Z-Buster - given he's got access to a massive variety of weapons now!
3. Ryu is here. Do I really need to say more? Okay, jokes aside, I did genuinely deliberate on whether to feature him in his Street Fighter 6 appearance or not, but eventually decided it'd actually be a good call for story purposes. He plays as you'd expect, though I'd like to add that he could have a lot of cool interactions with Hosuke due to them both sharing a dark power they try to suppress - with Ryu having succeeded on his journey.
4. Chun-Li was also obvious, and also gets included in her Street Fighter 6 appearance, playing as you'd expect. Side note, but it'd be neat to have some other Street Fighter characters appear in some background roles or in the story - for instance, I can imagine it'd be really fun to have Crimson Viper passing on some intel to Rock or something!
5. Dante was another obvious pick, but his specific appearance would be his Devil May Cry 5 look. I think he'd be cool to see here, but I'd play up his more laid-back personality for the sake of keeping him somewhat in keeping with this game's general feel.
6. Jill Valentine felt like a good choice, being a police officer (giving her good interactions with Shunsuke Ban or Rock) as well as being a Resident Evil pick. As for why I didn't go with a villain like Nemesis T-Type or Albert Wesker, I felt that it'd be good to mostly keep this game's roster to heroes - akin to how it was handled in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. She felt like a good choice though, and I think she's got potential.
7. Felyne is my pick from the Monster Hunter series, who I tend to gravitate a lot towards in these rosters, but do genuinely think would be a good choice. They're a reoccuring race from the very beginning to the point where they (beyond maybe Rathalos?) are arguably the mascot of the franchise.
8. Oichi is my pick from Sengoku BASARA, who I felt could be interesting due to her whole demonic possession thing, her being technically a historical figure and therefore having potentially interesting interactions, and also having a really cool moveset with her dual naginata and demonic hands. Plus, the series is more popular in Japan anyway, and whilst I considered an Onimusha pick, I think Oichi is a good call given her inclusion in TEPPEN.
9. Demitri is my Darkstalkers rep, chosen partially to play off the inclusion of Chocola, but also because I think the Midnight Bliss ability would honestly be pretty funny and oddly fitting in a game like this. Plus, he's arguably one of the faces of the franchise beyond Morrigan, and I'm not sure Morrigan's deliberate sex appeal would work too well in this kind of game.
10. Ryunosuke Naruhodo is my Ace Attorney pick to play off Black Jack, who might be a little unexpected when you consider characters like Phoenix himself, maybe Apollo, or even someone more unusual like Franziska von Karma could work - but given his use of a sword, I think his ability to combine Phoenix's more unusual fighting style with some actual pedigree and training with a weapon would work pretty well. Plus, The Great Ace Attorney is admittedly a decently cool series to finally represent here - though yes, I did consider Herlock Sholmes.
11. Arthur felt like a decently logical pick, being an arcade rep, another fun protagonist, and someone with a unique moveset whilst also potentially having some fun interactions (especially with Sapphire!) That aside, I also think his sense of chivalry and justice would play off some of Tezuka's characters really well, as would the inherent comedy in parts of the Ghosts 'n Goblins franchise.
12. Strider Hiryu was a pick I felt was kind of logical for something like this, given he technically also originated from a manga! That aside, I do think he'd have a lot of potential on his own, being a decently iconic and well-liked Capcom character who'd have potential for decently unique interactions across the board. That being said, I came really close to including a different Strider character (Solo, perhaps?) but opted to stick with someone familiar.
13. Hayato, on the other hand, is kind of my wild card of the roster - he's not new to the Capcom VS. series, featuring in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but I think it'd be cool to try and include elements of Star Gladiator's gameplay into his moveset more fluidly this time around. That aside, I also think his space-faring swordsman archetype actually plays off well against characters like Magma or Atlas!
14. Amaterasu feels like an obvious rival to Kimba/Leo, but also seems decently popular and unique as is, and generally has a lot of potential in a game like this to work with. I also think their nature as an aspect of a god could play into some interesting story interactions overall, which would be decently unique in my opinion!
15. Shoma is my last pick, a representative for Rival Schools - and someone a little unexpected. That said, given Capcom's roster is mostly made up of adults, I felt like a school-age kid would be a good character to bring to the fold - and whilst Batsu, Akira, or maybe Kyosuke might seem more obvious, I think Shoma's use of a giant baseball bat as well as actual baseballs would give him an incredibly unique feeling and lend well to some fun interactions!

A couple of notes here too - I think it'd be good for Dr. Wily to be the main villain, perhaps hoping to capture Phoenix as a power source for the Wily Phoenix or something like that. That said, a number of Capcom characters can also appear in story roles - I've already mentioned characters like Roll and C. Viper, but Dr. Light and Dr. Ochanomizu would also likely play pretty big roles, and you could also include a number of other fun elements (such as, perhaps, the unlikely pairing of Dante and Demitri having to look after Chocola!) Also, I'd like to include Mobi-chan in a similar role to Hyoutantsugi as a reoccuring joke character somehow.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Also, not to double-post, but there's some interesting stuff going on in the Xbox Legends Creation Thread (which is currently working on stages for a 2004-released start to an Xbox fighting franchise!) With the fighting roster being finalised over there, I felt like it'd be fun to conceptualise what my own personal take on a similar project would be if it were just me working on it as opposed to various people (though, I do like what they've got going on over there!) That said, I also think this era specifically is the best argument against Microsoft having nowhere near enough of its own identity to really hold up its own franchise like this... because like I do agree, but this period of time does have some decent pulls you wouldn't otherwise see.

With all that in mind, I'm giving myself similar creative limitations - 16 characters, no more than 4 third-party picks, and a late-2004 release allowing any of Microsoft's subsidiaries from the period (but none from after this period.) Let's take a look!

​

Characters are colour-coded to indicate their status. Green characters are default picks, whereas Yellow characters are unlockable.

1. Master Chief is an obvious headlining inclusion from the already-strong Halo franchise. That said, whilst there's a lot of ways to handle him, I'd like him to mostly be range-focused with a couple of melee strikes, but not the Energy Sword. Think of him being a little like Colonel Radec in PSASBR but actually good.
2. Blinx is another character from an at-the-time relevant franchise and arguably acting as the other face of the Xbox, even if he wasn't as well-liked as Master Chief (and still isn't.) That said, fighting with a vacuum cleaner and the ability to control time itself lends to a really unique moveset, if I'm honest.
3. Hero of Oakvale is the unnamed protagonist from Fable who, honestly, makes a lot of sense to include as well. Whilst he might fall into a fairly typical "RPG hero" archetype, his inspirations being from fairy tales as opposed to Japanese mythology gives him a fun and unique vibe overall.
4. Nanashi is the unnamed protagonist from Phantom Dust (yes, Nanashi means "without a name" in Japanese.) Whilst his inclusion would be a little akin to Roy's in Melee, arriving in a game before it even releases overseas, Phantom Dust's combat and mechanics feel like they'd lend fantastically well to a game like this. Plus, Nanashi himself has a really cool design, and his abilities as an Esper could be really fun to play with!
5. Joanna Dark is our first "acquired" rep, representing Rare as one of two characters to do so. I ended up choosing her over someone more recognisable like Banjo & Kazooie partially because she's got a lot of potential, but also because I think it'd help this game to forge a little more of its own identity in terms of Rare stuff beyond last-gen Nintendo content.
6. Edison Trent is the protagonist of Freelancer, the sequel to Digital Anvil's Starlancer, and he'd honestly be a decently fun inclusion. Whilst he doesn't get much action outside his ship in the game, I think we could give him some space-age tech inspired by some of his equipment (like a jetpack, some gravity grenades, and so forth) and it'd all fit decently well.
7. Ryo Hazuki is the protagonist of the Shenmue series, which got its second installment ported and enhanced for the Xbox in 2002. He's honestly a good fit, given he's our SEGA rep here (chosen over candidates like Beat or Orta due to the series' popularity and scale at the time), and has plenty of fighting potential given the mechanics from the original game could potentially be referenced here and there.
8. Ryu Hayabusa is our second third-party pick, this time representing Koei-Tecmo. I'll admit I considered a character from Dead or Alive (given the third installment was a launch title and console exclusive for the platform), but with the reboot of Ninja Gaiden releasing in 2004, this felt like a good pick for a mix of nostalgia, promotion, and simply extending an olive branch to one of the more important third-party companies to provide support to the platform early on.
9. Arbiter is our first unlockable fighter, being also from the Halo franchise. He'd fight predominantly using Covenant weapons, including the Energy Sword, the Plasma Rifle, and the Needler, and would differ pretty significantly from Master Chief in terms of gameplay. As for why he's here... I think it just makes sense, Halo's a big enough franchise to justify two inclusions, and whilst one of the evil pigs from Blinx 2 would be funny I don't think it'd be worth a roster spot.
10. Brutus is one of the playable characters from Brute Force, a squad-based TPS. That said, whilst the game predominantly focuses on long-range weapons, having Brutus get in up close whilst also having decent ranged tools would work well to represent his design and personality in a unique way.
11. Jack of Blades is the central antagonist of Fable, and whilst I will admit it's a newer franchise for having two characters, I do believe it to be warranted given his unique design, abilities, and playstyle (plus how generally well-recieved and major of a release it'd be for the timeframe.)
12. Arkantos is the playable character from Age of Mythology, the spin-off from Age of Empires, who's mostly chosen because he has an actual name as well as the ability to use the weapons and skills of different mythological gods... which is honestly pretty awesome!
13. Battletoads are chosen as the second Rare rep partially to act as Rare's "mascot" but also as a historical pick, plus they have plenty of potential being originally from a beat-em-up series to begin with. I say "Battletoads" because you'd be able to play as different ones depending on the alt you choose, and they'd have different voicelines in accordance with this (but identical movesets.)
14. Tex Murphy is a bit of a wild-card, being the emponymous protagonist of the Tex Murphy adventure game series that had previously been exclusive to PC platforms (with the fifth game in the franchise, Overseer, being a Windows exclusive.) The franchise was owned by Access Software, later renamed to Salt Lake Games Studio when acquired, though they'd be sold off in 2005. Whilst they were originally bought to acquire the Links golf franchise... Tex is way more interesting, being a detective from a cyberpunk near-future interpretation of San Francisco.
15. Sam Fisher is our third third-party pick, being from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - the sixth best-selling game on the Xbox platform! Not only this, but establishing good links with Western developers like Ubi Soft is probably a good call for around this time - and Sam himself has a lot of potential being from a stealth-based series, with anything from sticky grenades to smokescreens.
16. Abe is our last pick, from the Oddworld franchise which had recently become an Xbox exclusive - an oddball pick, but someone who would bring a fascinatingly unique moveset to the table. On top of this, he'd be an unexpected but cool third-party pick who people might not have anticipated!

Other notes: franchises like Microsoft Flight Simulator would be represented through stages and the like. I'm mostly focusing on the roster here, which needs to have actual characters beyond "Plane".

also I really didn’t want to include no video game characters

Guys, if I do reboot the YouTube x Kingdom Hearts idea, should I include Rooster Teeth content? Just asking because Wikipedia doesn't consider Rooster Teeth stuff like RWBY, Red vs Blue and Death Battle as YouTube shows.

I've heard that Rooster Teeth is going to move their shows directly to their own website, but for all intents and purposes, I'd go ahead and include RWBY in this idea.

 

[Justoneguyhere1999]

Sure, since they still are tchinally on Youtube in a way.

and don't forget Glitch productions stuff especially as one of their recent series has already gained millions of views. Also Eddsworld and Helluva Boss.

20. Kooper/Koops (Ditto)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Kinda going for a similar idea to Baysha's new roster

Super Peach Princesses. Power-ups don't exist in this game, instead everyone has a power and weakness and the game uses a traditional life bar. Decided to stick to directly Mario-related characters (Sorry Penny and Dixie)

1. Peach - Has a float, but goes through enemies she stomps instead of bouncing
2. Daisy - Has a triple jump, but falls fast
3. Rosalina - Exceptionally fast, but slippery
4. Pauline - Can't defeat enemies at all, but heals her life bar when jumping over them.
5. Toadette - Can pick up all enemies and not just shells, but that's the only way she can defeat enemies
6. Yellow Toadette
7. Red Toadette
8. Birdo - Spits eggs to stand on or defeat enemies, but jumps low
9. Black Birdo
10. Green Birdo
11. Blue Birdo
12. Vivian - Can hide in the shadows and defeat foes by popping under them, but when she jumps her long tail leaves her vulnerable.

 

[darkvortex]

A Shonen Jump roster. last row is DLC.

• MHA joins the big three in getting the most characters
• Comedy characters are in
• Shigarkai would have to be nerfed slighti y from canon
• Nezuko gets her own spot, using her blood powers, she'd be a speedy character. I figured DS more than deserved a second rep but none of the villains really spoke to me
• Senku fights from a distance using various inventions
• I felt Chainsaw Man was big enough for a second rep, Power got the spot because Makima doesn't do enough fighting on screen
• I considered a second JJK rep, likely Gojo, but he seemed too powerful, maybe in season 2
• Cobra is this games retro pull, similar to Ryo in the last game
• SXF isn't actually in the main shonen jump books but I figured it was iconic enough to include. Yor for the spot because I wanted something different and I figure she could be fun, Loid and Anya appear in her moveset
• If I did a second DLC seaosn I would likely add another Bleach, HXH, YYH, DS and maybe JJK rep, Chihiro from Kagurabachi, Tsuna, Medaka or Toriko, and another retro
• I toyed with a OPM rep, but Saitima himself in a fighting game doesn't sound very fun end it felt weird doing someone else

[Infinity Sorcerer]

I recently started into Super Robot Wars with SRW30 and I wanted to do my wishlist for what series and units I would like in the next game, I must admit I'm very new so probably this doesn't make sense or is quite bland but it's just for fun anyway. By the way I'll include some SRW OG chars but it's harder to me know them asides of those in SRW30 (at least from what I see of them until 3-1 that its the part where I'm) so I'm kinda more guiding for aesthetics there. Also I was thinking only in terms of units most likely a lot of these series would be unit only so yeaah. I'm also avoiding the upgrades like those of Gridman and Gurren Lagann.

Spoiler: Rost er

Now that I did properly finish two games I was looking at this again. I think I can do this way better. I'll try to mantain it sensical even if in the end the thing is quite big, thought I wouldn't list all the units, instead I'll try to explain what I would like to do with each series.

Spoiler: Super Robot Wars Φ

 

[darkvortex]

A PS roster through the years. Inspired by Thorgi's Aracde's Sega Smash Video and the Microsoft thread of a similar concept on this very forum.

PS1 - PlayStation All Stars

A focus on first party characters and the most popular and iconic third parties at the time. Robit is the wacky rep and Toro is included as a "who" pick that would be unknown to western players. Dart is included due to wanting a another swordsman and recency baiss. Relases in the last years of the ps1.

PS2 - PlayStation All Stars: Round Two

Everyone returns from the last game. Joined by the big new players of Ratchet, Sly, Jak and Kratos. Gabriel Logan from Spyhion Fliter gets in after just missing the roster last time due to there already being other gub others, Wander gets in to represent the hit SoTC, Lammy gets in as a surprise addition. Sora, CJ , Dante and PH are added to represent how huge those speeds are on the PS2, Tidus gets in to further represent the growing presence of FF on Ps, the Prince is a surprise pick to present a wacky, cult classic game and Etna is a for Japan pick (plus a Dissiga character was apparently considered for the real PSASBR)

PS3 - Playstiaon all Stars: Clash

We get out first cuts. Robit is sadly dropped to a lack of relevancy, Gabe, Wander, Lammy, Tidus, and the Prince are just seen as less important to come back. We get our first same series reps (not counting Lammy or Tidus) in the form of Quark, Raiden and Zeus, and we get a lot of the same characters chosen for the IRL PS All Stars, along with folklore's Ellen, who they did consider. Several of our third parties have been updated to new appearances based on their more recent appearances (for better or for worse). Yu gets in to rep the growing in popularity Persona series

PS4 - PlayStation All Stars: Rumble

Unfortunately, several characters from the last game have been cut to just not being that popular or important (Silent Hill was in a sort of rough patch at this point). Kratos has now been updated to be based on the modern GOW games, Infamous has gained a second rep, and we have reps for popular new games like Horizon, Last of Us, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy XV, Neir Automata, and Nioh. Knack of course gets in as the new attempted mascot type character. Sam Bridges is probably cutting it a little fine, and might be awkward having them in the same game as Snake, but he's here. We also get long requested newcomers like Oddworld's Abe, Yakuza's Kiryu and Monkuma. Ryu is added to represent the strong relationship between Capcom and sony at this point and is based on SF5. Yu and CJ have unfortunately been replaced with more modern and popular characters from their series. Geralt is probably the last "Ps-y" of these newcomers but he was everywhere around this time so I figure it makes sense .

PS5 - PlayStation All Stars: Legends

Everyone is here!

Similar to Smash Ultimate, this would be built on the DNA of the last game and would thus be easier to make this happen. Ratchet and Clank gets Nefarious to give us a new villain rep and Artreus is added to further rep the mega popular GOW duology. Jin, Astro Bot and Selene are added as recent reps for new games and Alucard is added as a long requested third party pick.

shout out to the many characters I had to leave off, A patapon, a lemming, the buzz guy, blasto, tomba, a demon souls rep, a destiny rep, amstaratu from okami, spider-man, and so much more.

this took me a whole day, I need to lie down and take a break from doing rosters for a bit

 

[fogbadge]

have i made an ardman roster yet?

this the old reverse psychology deal or do you not know how many characters they have?

Oh, I meant that I would love your Aardman roster if you made one. I'm sorry if it sounded crude.

[RouffWestie]

And you thought Smash had too many Swordfighters...

Yeah I would buy a Wonder Boy/Monster World Fighting game in a heartbeat. This would be my ideal roster, though I only chose characters I felt would have a complete and balanced moveset, there's probably bigger MW fans that could find more characters that could be thrown into this. Also quick note, I know the Master Higgins thing would never happen in an official game, that was more of a "this would 100% be something in a fangame," inclusion.

I love the graphic design, genuinely. My only question is how involved will Tenacious D be?

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

I'm still in the mech mode but I don't want to overdo the SRW theme (thought I have a theme related that I want to touch). So instead I'll go with the easiest option, a roster for a Mecha Platform Fighter (for make my work easier we will just say all robots are SD so things about how the Gunbuster don't just put his feet above the Zeta Gundam to win are avoided). Also kinda tried to emulate Ultimate roster so assume there are more games before.

Spoiler: Super Robot Brothers Z

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Like A Dragon: All-Star Tournament

Characters:
1. Kazuma Kiryu
2. Goro Majima
3. Taiga Saejima
4. Shun Akiyama
5. Daigo Doji,a
6. Akira Nishikiyama
7. Ryuji Goda
8. Yo****aka Mine
9. Daisaku Kuze
10. Keiji Shibusawa
11. Takayuki Yagami
12. Jin Kuwana
13. Masaru Watase
14. Tatsuo Shinada
15. Tatsuya Ukyo
16. Ichiban Kasuga
17. Koichi Adachi
18. Joon-gi Han

Stages
1. Tenkaichi Street
2. Millenium Tower Rooftop
3. Bishamon Bridge
4. Purgatory Coliseum
5. Tojo Clan HQ
6. Onomichi Docks
7. Seiryo High

So I don't know how the gameplay would be, but I'm imagining it as a 3D fighter like Virtua Fighter or Tekken. Assets and moves can fairly easily be reused from the games too! DLC will come later and there's another special idea I have for it too. Also Jo Amon is the arcade mode boss.

Okay DLC time

Free DLC
1. Jo Amon

DLC Pack 1
1. Masaharu Kaito
2. Futoshi Shimano
3. Sakamoto Ryoma
4. Shintaro Kazama
5. Saeko Mukoda

DLC Pack 2
1. Rikiya Shimabukuro
2. Tianyou Zhao
3. Gary Buster Holmes
4. Hiroaki Awano
5. Kenshiro

Okay so I should agnowledge the fact that there's a female character now, and like I get why people not thinking that would fit considering Kiryu not hitting women but I decided it's not too big a deal since it's DLC and Kiryu not hitting women is sort of more of an easter egg rather than an actual plot element. I think we should just have at least one female character you know? We can find an excuse to have them still fight.

I also think some premium costumes (costumes that change a character's voice and appearence) would be cool for DLC too! Some ideas could be Joji Kazama, Kiryu Kazumanosuke and of course Ono Michio. Ryo Hazuki as a costume for some character could be cool too, there are plenty of ideas.
I also have an idea for a sort of assist mode, Poundmates! These characters can be summoned for an assist attack to help with a combo or some other way during a match:
1. Makoto Date
2. Haruka Sawamura
3. Gary Buster Holmes (I had to make him DLC but I also had to make him a poundmate since he introduced that concept, so if Gary is played, the female version of him from Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be used instead.)
4. Lau Ka Long
5. Ferocious Tiger
6. Susumu Gondawara
7. Andre Richardson
8. Masayoshi Tanimura
9. Takeshi Kido
10. Zombies
11. Okudera
12. Nugget
13. Pocket Circuit Fighter
14. Mr. Libido
15. Ono Michio (Ono Michio is literally a costume so this can totally exist alongside the playable version too.)
16. Sugiura
17. Yu Nanba
18. Nancy-chan
19. Eri Kamataki
20. Makoto Tojo (Yes, let's finally give Makoto Tojo a real design. This is a stupid idea but whatever.)

Dreamworks roster. I've done this before but have an image

 

[darkvortex]

This is classed a creation thread so I'm allowed a double post. Pixar roster

Tired to squeeze in as many franchises as possible, left out ratatouille due to a lack of options, soul due to tone, good dinosaur since it's not popular and I already had a dinosaur, and elemental since I've not seen it.

Dory just floats in the air like Disney infinity, Kevin is sort of paired with Doug, Mater attacks with his hook, Zurg is Lightyear for cross promotion and since I wanted more heavies (same reason I went Waternoose over Randall. ) Went with the Bob and Helen names so they all for in the image but they'd use their super names of this was a real select screen.
