Question:

Would you play a Smash-like platform-fighting game that was more competitively built, but also had original characters instead of Nintendo characters?

Oh yeah, 3D btw, cause I know RoA is a thing.
It all depends on if I like the characters gameplay wise and design wise, and if I like the game's artstyle overall.

Part of my issue with all the games that tried to be a new, competitive platform-fighter is that they all just look lame. Even if the gameplay is good, I'm just not interested in the character designs for RoA or whatever Wavedash games is cooking up. And then there's PSABR that, while the character designs are cool, the overall artstyle of the game is just ugly (plus the game isn't all that great anyways).

Then you look at something like Guilty Gear, Tekken, Street Fighter, etc. everyone looks cool and/or interesting.

Like this:
This is so over the top.

I love it.

Yeah, I haven't drawn the wolf side yet. Idea is she can build the meter up, and use it up for extra strong special moves that partially turn her into a wolf, like her arm for example. Or build it all the way, and transform into a full werewolf for a limited time. It's also a play on the Red Riding Hood tale, so she's both the red hooded girl, AND the wolf. Though her back story isn't that at all. It's just homage.

But yeah, me and Che agree that it's gotta have lots of waifu-bait to appeal to anime fans, but the waifus still have to be cool, and a bit gnarly in their own right, not just moe-moe garbage.
Ah I see. Could work well.

But yeah, no moe-moe all the time please...

Aren't the Chinese nationalist and socialist, only more recently leaning more toward capitalist?

They are national socialists without being Nazi's

Y'know, now that we're talking about fighting games, has anyone noticed any similarities with the characters they play the most in them? I realized I prefer characters who do 2 things. Hit things, and hit them REAL hard
Every character I play is blonde haired, blue eyed. And if they aren't, then I choose a skin that makes them at least blonde haired. It's something i didn't even notice until my roommates pointed it out.

I like grapplers.

My strategy in fighting games is typically very throw oriented so I usually pick characters with good throws even if they aren't dedicated grapplers.

I think my strategy in fighting games is trying to stay far away from the opponent with either traps or speed and try to hit them off with quick strikes, lay down traps, or hit them with range

Oh, something I should mention here, as I got flak due to distaste towards TLOU. A friend of mine is a big fan of the game and I snapped at him about the bull**** ending and said what I'd do to make it an effective bittersweet ending, and my friend just couldn't argue against me. Naughty Dog, hire meeeeeeh

I tend to go for masculine brolic types. I usually like good normals, ease in execution and gameplay, command grabs, invincible reversals, etc.

Now that I think about it, 2 seasons had timey wimey stuff. Ironically Kamen Rider Paradox (he debuted last week) wasn't in any. Meaning if you want an aesthetical reference too, it's either a train guy or a beetle. And even How I Met Your Mother referenced KR, so yeah
Awesome, thanks for the tip!

I think 4chan said it best.

They said part of what makes the OW characters so good, while the BB characters are seen as bland is the lack of weeb. According to them, a bit of that anime-inspired influence can go a long way. Even if the artstyle itself isn't anime.

GG, SF, etc... all these seem to have very visually striking designs because they feel very familiar and memorable, while at the same time being unique in their own right. People might bash spiky hair, beltbuckles, and giant swords all they want, but there's a certain something to Japanese design that just clicks.

I think mostly rushdowns for me. I like being on the offensive.

In GG, I like Sol, Jam, and Baiken the most. In Blazblue, Noel is my fave. In Smash, Falcon, Marth, and Cloud. In SF, Cammy and Ryu. In Soul Calibur, Tira, and Cervantes.

Even though I'll have Puyo Puyo Tetris, I hope I won't have to wait too long for a :4drmario: game for the Switch.

Don't think I'll have to worry too much as there has been a Dr. Mario game for every major console in some form (except Game Boy Color & Virtual Boy).

Obligatory Aryan "master race" joke.

I mean... since we're talking about Nazis and stuff.

Doesn't change the fact that's literally half of the word Nazi
That's like calling a square a "squared circle" and saying it's both even though you can see it's not one but also because those two words contradict one another
Yup. It means kids make me want to cave my own skull in with a bowling ball.
I was more talking about the "can't have children" part than the "being glad I can't have them" one

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING
THE NEW KAMEN RIDER PARADOX (spelled Para-DX for some reason) HAS A FIGHTING GAME THEMED FORM, IN WHICH THE FINISHER SOUNDS LIKE IT'S FROM THE SF4 ANNOUNCER
BUT HE'S NATURALLY ABLE TO USE THE ****ING GUNFLAME. AS IN, HE SHOOTS A PILLAR OF FIRE AS A NATURAL SPECIAL ATTACK. **** MAN, I THOUGHT THE ARCADE MARIO BROS WAS THE MOST OBSCURE IRL GAME THEY HAD

The Nazi's genuinely called themselves that. Then they were called Nazis

Dude, do you THINK I can get pregnant?

They're basically a national socialist country with an economy that's becoming a free market one, yeah.

Nazis were only sociolist in name though. The Nazi party wasn't socialist by any means though, in fact, they hated socialism along with communism. I don't know why that to this day were communists, let alone socialists.

As long as he's shown.
Somehow I don't think there's anything to worry about...

Not saying he's a lock but just looking at the FE Heroes ballot as an example should tell you his chances...

Ugh, I can't tell if my watch needs a new battery or if it's dead.

Either way, I need to have a working watch before I go to work Monday. :/

If I had a dollar for every time someone made that joke when I selected a character.

Perhaps. I've always seen OW to be more Pixar-esque than anime though. Although, their 2D portraits are very anime. I suppose it just depends on if it's 3D or 2D.

I've also always felt like between the two arcsys fighters, Guilty Gear was the least weeby. I'm not entirely sure what it is though.

@ManlySpirit

It's funny you mention that Trigun character being the inspiration for the first design, he's the one I first thought of with his look and being a priest. It's hard to rate the character without a more detailed design like the other have, both of which I really like. Especially the concept of the fused red riding hood. In fact, I'd suggest potentially doing more twists or opposites of well known stories without, as you said with the girl, actually using that story--just as a homage in design, which will go a long way to make them memorable and interesting while also leaving room for you to bring in your own ideas. I'll have to sit on that concept myself some time. As an aside, I like your futuristic Link clone lol. Don't be too afraid to have a character look similar to a popular video game character. So long as he doesn't come off as a knock-off or straight rip-off, it can actually serve in your favor in my opinion, for the same reason that paying homage can, except even better because the associated media is relevant.

As for battler suggestions, I'd also have to sit on that for a while. All I can say at the top of my head right now is what I had for my Ghirahim move-set way back in the day lol. Always thought my core idea had potential. I had it so where he had standard a and b moves, along with all of their directions. But if the player does the move, and before the lag ends--inputs the exact same input, an extra move comes from it. Doesn't sound too original as it's basically like a combo, but what I was thinking was that it would give you an option of potentially preparing the initial move to unleash the second as the opener, or come into situations where you have to decide whether it's right to activate the second part at all. I had instances where the follow-up was either very slight and not wholly distinct from the primary attack, or it completely attacks in the opposite direction or moves you away etc.

P.S. You're getting a Nintendo Switch whether you like it or not.

JonTron has apparently had people calling him a Nazi and "Unsubscribing"

It hasn't actually affected him at all though, since his subscriber count is rising faster than lowering

3 million subscribers is a lot

Well not only that, but the amount of people saying that and actually doing that is in the hundreds at most.(But I doubt even that amount.)

People said the same thing after the breitbart interview.

LOL so is Milo

Just because he streamed with Sargon. Who also isn't a Nazi. That's all it takes these days to be called one though.

Jontron had said somethinga livestream about refugees needing to go back to their homecountries and more from what I heard, even got into an argument with PBG, who also firmly corrected someone by saying he and Jon weren't friends. Thing with Jon is, as an entertainer, I like him, but as a person, he's kinda trash. No clue about the jewish thing though.

Milo's an actual scumbag though. Honestly, how the **** can an LGBT someone say LGBT people need to stay in the closet? And MORE!

LOL, in the game "Sim Copter" you can pick up citizen's off the street and throw them out.

You get fined for doing so, but the thing is...If they don't die you are called in to medivac them and the reward for that is greater than the penalty for damaging them in the first place

I remember seeing something about Jon calling the Women's March "sexist"
I have to agree with Gwen, Jon is a good entertainer and I love his videos but he certainly is a ****ty person
Though I don't know where the nazi accusations come from

When we took it out of the fridge it was defrosting so it was pretty soft when he cut it
The icing tasted kinda like whip cream, it was light, wasnt too sweet
Then is a normal cake with lots of cream; being soft tells me it could be three milks but those are very sweet.

I know a lot of LGBTQ people like that, to be honest.
Then they are also morons. "Stay in the closet, because other people don't need your ****" is the worst thing to come out of that **** head's mouth other than pretending a shooting happened because a left winger was angered by a fan. He also sold 'books' on ebay of poetry which in turn was plagiarized from song lyrics, and he made a charity event, but didn't leave the detail every penny was going to him
