Smashboards Creates: A Smash Rhythm Game

[nirvanafan]

Tried out the Theatrhythm demo this weekend & thought to myself it was really fun but would be even better if it were with a franchise I was more familiar with thus the inspiration for this thread.

I will try to update, mainly on weekdays, as much as I can & similar to Drifting Dimensions we will continue as long as myself & other contributers are interested.

Job 1: How should song submitting work. Do we just want free reign (3 songs each?) or should each song have a specific qualification (in Smash or not, coming from a particular era, remixes, etc.)

Job 2: How should song difficulty be measured. Theatrhythm seems to use a 1-15 scale, Know 5 star scales among others have been used in other cases, what would you prefer?

Job 1: All the new songs are remixes so we can submit one song at a time in specialized jobs where we also submit any changes for the remix such as what genre it is

Job 2: I say we just list it as “Easy, Medium, Hard, Intense.” Gets the point across in a more simple manner what each difficulty is since this might be geared towards younger players

Time for some song jobs, dont worry about posting a link if it is inconvenient, as long as it is clear what song you are submitting youre fine.

Also submit how difficult you think the song will be in a rhythm game. This is just for fun and not required but one will be added by me if your song is voted in & one was not provided.

Job 3 - Submit a song from a mainline Mario platform. 2D or 3D does not matter.

Job 4 - Submit a song from a Mario side series (RPG, Kart, Sports, Party, Luigi's Mansion, etc.)

Job 5 - Submit any Mario song you would like you would like to see a remix of & a brief explanation or sample of what you have in mind.

To be clear songs originating from a Donkey Kong, Yoshi, or Wario game are ineligible as they are planned as separate jobs.

Job 6 - Theatrhythm had Chibi versions of the characters & a matching overall aesthetic, should we have that or go with a different style like sprites.

Job 7 - How should the visuals during the music be handled.

My idea is similar to Theatrhythm to have a mock 8 player smash battle occuring. Backround would match location song is most affiliated with & each ko occurs by passing a certain % of notes successfully hit (10, 25, 33, 50, 66, 75, 90).
