Random Character (Player)

[xpnet]

I'm new to the boards so don't flame me if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

I was wondering if there is anyway we can convince them to add a Player Type that everytime you are KO'ed you return as a differenct character. I know in Melee when I would play I would always hate quiting the game to switch out characters to try.. this way if I play a unlimited match I could always get some new game play or have different characters showing up to battle.

I know Earthbound Team has little success with PKCallin stuff but really this is one feature that I always always wanted and I know it's really late in the game but could it be possible.

Do you mean a certain option? That wouldn't be a bad idea, I say. To return as a new character after every KO would be in good fun. Great idea, my good friend.

I like this idea actually. There has been many games that use this system. I think soul caliber is one...

Before the match you pick like 3-4 characters and once one dies the next one spawns. Interesting...

We can't convince them to do anything though. The game is pretty much already done and I doubt a petition or emailing them will do anything (when has it ever?)

Maybe its already in the game who knows.

I guess a new game type would work.. but no a actually character Slot on the chracter list. Instead of a picture it would show a question mark ? and be called Random. Then when the match started you'll see who your charcter is.. when you get KO'ed you return as a new character. Now that I think about it that might thow off play stats.. but still would be a great feature.

Yeah you could chose random or whatever character you want. Personally, I'd like to choose my characters. That way if you can use all fo your best characters. I would definately have my last character as my main.

Yeah Soul Caliber I think it has a character called Charade...

I know we can't convince them to do anything.. but I wouldn't mind a delay for a cool feature they didn' t think of..

 

[voittaa711]

Another delay? lol. That would hurt, but if it were to make the game better like add more modes/characters....they can have at it.

 

[xpnet]

I know this is WISHFUL thinking but Namco did do a Mario Cart game and Charade is a Namco character.. Lolz..

I love doing matches where everything is random (characters, stages, etc.), so this sound really cool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokujin

Mokujin (the wooden dude, I like tekken.) actually has been on tekken GBA, but in a Sora kind of way (the game sucked) so that gives him as much chance as sora, since tekken does have a new game planned right? with online? so it can finally be better than virtua fighter on the ps3? PLEASE?!?!

 

[Blobulator]

Hmm this is actually an interesting idea. However, like already stated, I wouldn't mind either an option to pre-select all the characters and have it run through that sequence per KO, or just an entirely random selection each time like Charade or Mokujin were. Ah, Soul Calibur II, great game.

 

[Phoenix_Rising]

No more delays please! And yea this sounds like a nice idea.

 

[error_alt_delete]

interesting idea, but i dont see it happening. the game has to load the characters each time the match starts, this way there isnt any loading in betwen. the game would have to load the switch EVERY TIME YOU DIED!however, if you hit the random button and got a random character and didnt know who they were till the battle started, I would be ok. but I dont want to deal with a load screen or pausemid battle...

 

[OhCripe119]

Melee had hardly any loading time it seemed, so I'm sure even if they tossed in the randomize character after each KO, the time it took to load the randomize sequence could all be done pre-game.

Also, I really liked the Tekken feature where you pick a number of characters and then choose the ones you want and then fight through your list. That's was always one of my favorite things about Tekken. I'd love that in Smash. I'd take that over just randomizing the character per KO, but if we could have both, that'd be incredible.

 

[voittaa711]

Loading wouldn't be a problem I don't think. Soul Caliber had a character jump out almost immediately. If there was a big load for every character I don't think it would last more than 3 seconds. No pun intended lol.

Well, in the Event matches I think like 51 in Melee they switched up to another stage and character fast I think.. It didn't feel like more then 3 seconds.

The more I think about this feature the more I want to see it come out!!

Yeah.. I'd def go for both.. If I was playing to want to Win I'd def choice a rotation list pregame. How rad would that be... Pick your KO rotation list.. Random or in Order. Now that will be playing with power!!
