Hypothetical Universal Pictures (Platform) Fighter Discussion

[Michael the Spikester]

With the talks of Smash clones becoming more popular such as Disney as a result of Nickelodeon: All-Stars Brawl and Multiversus. Thought this would be another that'd be interesting if such a game came to be. I can credit SnakeFighter64 for the idea to begin with as originally the idea I originally shared was of a DreamWorks Animation Smash clone idea whom Universal Pictures apparently owns.

As the title explains. Talk, discuss and share ideas of how a Universal Pictures Smash clone/Platform fighting game would be like notably roster.

Franchises Universal Pictures notably owns

Back to the Future
Blumhouse Productions (Happy Death Day, Insidious, Paranormal Activity, The Purge, etc.)
DreamWorks Animation (How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Shrek, etc.)
Fast and the Furious
Illumination (Despicable Me, Sing, The Secret Life of Pets)
Jaws
Jurassic Park/Jurassic World
The Addams Family

The Mummy (1999-2008)/The Scorpion King
Unbreakable/Split/Glass

And many more I can't think of right now.

Anyways discuss.

Personally I'd want it to be just Dreamworks or even just based on a single Dreamworks IP. (or maybe Despicable Me?)

 

[Michael the Spikester]

single Dreamworks IP

I know Kung Fu Panda did that.

Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends.

I have always been curious about this concept but I am considering making this idea into my third creation thread. I can imagine the main quirk/gimmick about a Universal Picture platform fighter being something to do with the Earth being a universal wave shine or something like that. A fun idea to think about for sure.

Littlefoot mains beating Dom mains.

Littlefoot is top tier.

If a Universal platfighter ends up being a thing, my three biggest wants would be Jaws, Wolf (Bad Guys), and Scott Pilgrim. I'm a little burnt out on platform fighters right now, though.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Still legit curious how Bruce the shark would work. xD

Would he just be swimming in the air whipping his tail and biting at people?

If not Bruce. Martin Brody and Quint are also always options for Jaws reps.

oh for some reason I thought Jaws was his actual name lol. In any case, I think he should have an aquarium not much bigger than himself, and his animations involve him moving around by pushing against the glass. Not sure how Bruce jumping would work though.

So basically the Bowser Jr. approach eh?

I'm down for that. Though I still think it'd be more fun for the sake of being hilarious of Bruce just swimming in the air. Can't get the mental image out of my mind now. xD

I like the idea of him being surrounded by a bubble of water that follows him around and bounces when he jumps.

Felix the Cat's Magic Bag is such an OP item. Nerf it for the next update patch.

 

[Glubbfubb]

Shrek, the Minions, andMarty McFly would be obvious inclusions

I'd also argue Rexy and Dom Toretto as well.

I'd also argue Rexy and Dom Toretto as well.

The Minions would be like the Servbots, having attacks relying on swarming the target with lots of weak attacks that quickly add up

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Just found out Tremors is a Universal property.

Burt Gummer would be a blast to play!

 

[HyperSomari64]

Can we have the Six Million Dollar Man?

 

[HyperSomari64]

Is Riddick possible?

 

[HyperSomari64]

thinking if Darkness from Legend would be a good boss.
