Kirby Fighters X (basically Smash but with Kirby)

[Shiver-Star]

Every 3 Years, the Great Comet Nova soars the skies of Dream Land...
A tournament is held in the galaxy to decide who get s the right to claim 1 wish of this great deity...​

Note: This game uses the same engine as another fangame I'm collaborating with: Smash Bros Lawl.
I've already asked permission with DemicStudios (the maker of that fangame) and he has agreed.

What is Kirby Fighters X?

I'm a casual pleb, are there any hazards in these stages?
Of course there are, what point would there be to have completely lifeless stages?

Ew, casual stuff, is there any stuff more competitive?
Of course there are, what point would there be to have completely over saturated stages?

Alright decide already, is this game casual or competitive?
It's both. All stages have 4 variants. Regular with Hazards (Green Greens), Regular W/O hazards (Green Greens without Apples or Blocks), Competitive with hazards (Dream Land 64 with wind) AND Competive W/O hazards (Dream Land 64 without wind).
Not all competitive variants have been decided yet.

I want my items, where are they?
We're definitely working on the items, I'll just let you know Flame Torches are in the game so you pyromaniac Meta Knight can ejoy burning down stuff

What sets this game apart from all other Smash fangames?
There are a couple of things:
1- The entire game is Kirby-themed so if you ever wanted to blow up Dark Matter with a Poppy Bros Jr there you have it.
2- This is the important part:

This game has a unique feature called "Soft/Hard Attacks". Basically, if you tap the attack button lightly you get X attack, but if you tap the button hard you get a stronger Y attack. E.g: Kirby's N-Air has two variants: Soft N-Air is his Sex Kick from Smash 64 while his Hard N-Air is his Twinkle Star N-Air move from melee onward.
Brawl Minus and Ryu from Sm4sh use this kind of tactic (with another name of course) but here it applies to all characters equally. Just so you know, not all attacks get variants. If an attack doesn't get a variant in terms of animation and you still tap the button harder the move will still be stronger but look exactly the same as the regular variant.
Every character gets access to these tools so no one becomes more broken than the rest

This is all pretty and all but does Bandana Dee get Multispear Attack for his jab?
Yes.

When's the demo coming out?
I hope to get to make it this year haha :sweat:

Can I wavedash and do my Melee tricks here?
Yes, Smash Bros Lawl already lets you toggle between having Melee tricks or not so the same applies here.

--------------------------
Alright, so I can take care of the game's programming (SSBL already has a full-on character builder which is used in the game to make the current characters, so I can easily take care of this), the game's artworks and sprites.
What I need help with: Pretty much sprites (specially characters sprited from the ground up), stage spriting, music (or I can just use the regular music from the games but remixes would be really nice) and definitely Voice Acting (Skullgirls and JJBA Heritage for the Future were my main inspirations behind this game ok).
If you happen to apply to any of these talents above an you're interested in helping me make this game, please contact me via PM or by any of my links below.

Unfortunately, there's no demo version available nor any screenshots nor videos. I didn't want to make this topic before I could show you anything about the game but there's been quite a bit of heat lately so I might as well show you I'm taking this project seriously.
Now onto some artworks :3

Thank you for taking the time to read through this entire post, have a good day!

I his looks like an interesting idea for a SSB clone. I enjoy the fact that this might be a good game based on Kirby. Heck, maybe add a little easter egg for a stage based on The Adventures of Lolo for the NES. See how many would remember that game from the 80s before Kirby ever existed.

 

[Shiver-Star]

I enjoyed playing that game back when I had no internet haha
Since Lololo/Lalala are already chars in this game I can give them some references in their movesets for that. (Btw, they play like the Ice Climbers except you can swap between the two)

 

[IM Meen]

King Dedede could use references from the anime, and even have one his voices be the one from that show.

 

[Akenaga X]

Sounds interesting. How much progress do you have, or will you have?
