Arcade Character submission:
Gilius Thunderhead (Golden Axe) (Resubmission)
Who is Gillius Thunderhead?
Gillius Thunderhead is one of Main characters from popular Golden Axe series, which it debuted on Arcade. It takes place in fictional land of Yuria during Hyborian Era and 3 Heroes need to fight through the land to get into Adder's Lair and Defeat him like in Beat'em up games. (Actually, Golden Axe is a beat'em up game)
His series got some games in 80's and 90's along 3 in 2000's, which is actually interesting for it's fans and SEGA fans.
(And his series were possibly inspired by "Conan the Barbarian" book)
Gillius is Miner Dwarf, who Attacks with his Axe and sometimes rides on Chicken Leg monsters.
He appeared as Playable Character along with Ax Battler, Tyris Flare in Golden Axe on Arcades back in the 80's.
He and his games are really popular that his legacy keeps existing by appearing in other SEGA games like "Sonic and Allstars Racing Transformed" (Interestingly, he was originally planned to be in Sonic and SEGA Allstars Racing, but he was Scrapped from Roster and came back later to Transformed) and he appeared in now-discontinued game called SEGA Heroes on Mobile phones.
He also even appeared as Playable Character in SEGA Superstars Tennis, which is also very cool.
How the Heck Gillius would work?
A lot of you guys are asking how the heck he could work in Platform Fighter.
Well first, he could be Middleweight "Rushdown" character that doesn't have any additional movement options like air dashing.
His moveset could be similar to Golden Axe Fighting Game that was released in 90's, which he could use his Axe in Attacks. He could also use magic like Lightning magic as Neutral Special (Making him as Sora of Battle of AGES) or etc.
His Allstar Move could be where he calls the Tyris Flare and Ax Battler to attack the opponents in cutscene like Hero in Smash.
His design is Based on Allstars Racing Transformed Incarnation, but he would be more detailed to make him more realistic. His alts are gonna be inspired by Golden Axe characters like Death Adder.
Why Gilius for Battle of AGES?
Do you guys wanna know why I want Gillius?
That's because there are a lot of Reasons I wanna tell:
- Gillius is one of really popular GA characters and he deserves a spot on the Roster.
- Gillius could have more unique moveset potential than other GA (Sorry
OrpheusTelos
and
Flyboy
)
- His Inclusion would be tribute to Golden Axe games.
- He is another SEGA Historical rep that could appear in the Roster.
- In Throgi's Arcade's video, he was in the Roster, meaning that he was very popular character back in 90' and he is still relevant to that day.
- He definitely fits into Fighting Game as no-brainer pick, since he appeared in one before.
- His series were big on Arcade machines, making him very likely into SEGA crossover game.
Again, there are a lot of reasons why Gillius Thunderhead needs to be in Game in base roster as SEGA Arcade Rep.
Final Words:
Again, thank you so much for reading my submission, especially
