Smashboards Creates: Pop Culture Clash

[AlRex]

Preliminary note: This is common in other threads, but just in case: on voting jobs of three or more, you can only put your own below first place. For example, I nominate Bob. This is the highest I can place Bob in my votes:
1. Jennifer
2. Bob
3. Greg
Now, on with the rest of the first post!

What on Earth is this? Well, this is another hypothetical game project thing, but it has perhaps the most expansive subject any of them have had. A fighting game centered around pop culture in general. It'll play mostly like Smash, but we can discuss potential gameplay differences in a bit, as well. We’re still sticking to fictional characters, and likely not stepping into outright offensive territory, but other than that, the selections should be pretty broad and varied. Most of the gameplay and other methods of including things (characters, stages, items, assists, some gameplay modes). The roster will be separated into 8 sections/medium types.

-Comics
-Cartoons
-Anime/Manga
-Live-Action TV
-Live-Action Movies
-Books
-Video Games
-Misc. [broad, basically anything that doesn’t fit under/originate from those other sections]

I’m going to have four majorly iconic characters to start out this roster, and then we’ll have two voting jobs to start out. Setting these up right now, but a lot of them have nothing for the moment. Don't worry about it, they'll be updated later.

Spoiler: General Gameplay Style

Specials are like Smash, Neutral, Forward, Up, and Down. We also have Shield + Special for certain special mechanics/abilities of certain characters.
The ground and Aerial Attacks will be like they are in NASB, with Lights and Strongs.
The Final Smashes are Leveled Supers. Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with a meter bar at the bottom.
Damage will work the same as Smash or NASB, by percentages, with higher percentages sending foes flying further out of the arena.
Generally, you’d just have to submit the main four Specials and the three Supers, though you can mention these other things.

Spoiler: Gameplay Modes

• Ladder Mode [Think Smash Ultimate Classic Mode + the towers in early Mortal Kombat games]
• Adventure Mode [Structured like Melee's with levels/enemies based on the source materials included, but with cutscenes/a rough storyline similar to Subspace Emissary, and map with branching paths for your character(s)/team to go on, similar to Smash 3DS's Classic Mode]
• Versus Mode
• Training Mode
• Enemy Frenzy [Smash Run-esque mode]
• Boss Battle Bash [This is a mode where, after all of the bosses have been encountered in Classic or Adventure Routes, you can fight them here individually. The unique thing here is that you can choose tag-team with a friend or CPU against a boss, or you can even choose to have bosses fight each other. The movelists are slightly more limited and/or too “OP” to be regular characters, so they’ll only be playable here, though.]
• PCC Jam [A mode that simulates basketball, with the characters still fighting each other, of course. The characters will fight on a large platform with two hoops on each end, knocking each other around, but rather than the main goal being trying to knock each off the stage (though you can do that, I suppose), the main goal is to knock the other player(s) into the hoop opposite your side. There will be teams, though you can just have 2 players instead of 3, 4, etc. Other hazards can exist, mostly cannons will show up that can launch foes a certain distance. Basically, it will be a formally scored version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3PgjpX0Ts8 , but with added effects and voice lines from NBA Jam (I.E. "He's heating up! He's on fire!" "Boomshakalaka!"). There will be timers, usually, much like basketball, or you can play on "HORSE" mode, where you simply play until you or the other player scores five points, or five letters, spelling the word "HORSE", in case you haven't heard of that game before.]

Spoiler: Mini-Games

• Beat Up A Car [similar to Street Fighter II and Final Fight]
• Bonus Game (Super Mario Bros. 3) [match up an image of a power-up/item in three sections. You may gain this item in your next fight in Classic Mode.]
• Break the Targets (Super Smash Bros.) [works similarly to how it has in the past games, different fighters will have differently themed stages, both aesthetically and in layouts.]
• Coyote Chase (Looney Tunes) ["This bonus round is a derivative of Race to the Finish where you run around the canyon. Wile E. Coyote is snooping around in the background, interacting with the foreground indirectly in different ways (for example, painting a tunnel you can run through or blowing up a Rushmore-esque monument that will block the path) - when the stage loops around in the non-timed version outside of Arcade Mode, those changes are permanent and there can even be further changes."]

Spoiler: Narrators

This game has options for multiple narrators. Right now the options are:

1. Joel Robinson, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot (Mystery Science Theater 3000)
2. Don LaFontaine
3. Wiz and Boomstick (DEATH BATTLE)
4. The French Narrator (SpongeBob SquarePants)

I'll be posting the first two jobs in my next post, one of which will be a character job.

 

[AlRex]

Job #1: Nominate a live-action TV character.
They have to directly originate from a live-action TV show. So Batman or the Incredible Hulk wouldn’t fit with this, but Captain Kirk or even Kermit the Frog might work, for two examples. You can submit any (applicable) examples or anything else you feel like fits. Characters played by actors in a live-action form, wearing suits/special effects prosthetics, or even puppets are all eligible, but characters from entirely animated shows (2D, stop-motion/clay, CGI, etc.) are not.

Job #2: Choose the base character roster size.
I feel like it needs to be divided evenly between the 8 sections out of fairness. But there is a reasonable size, small or large, that we may want to achieve, especially for such a wide breadth. But our base roster size is up to you. Keep in mind that this also generally decides how many characters per section there are. The roster could also expand later with potential DLC, so there’s another factor to keep in mind.

The choices are:

Spoiler

40 [5 characters per section]
48 [6 characters per section]
56 [7 per section]
64 [8 x 8]
72 [9 x 8]
80 [10 x 8]

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I'm going 64 - not as ridiculous as 72 or 80 but still hefty enough to embody everything we may want.

Live action TV rep: Jerry Seinfeld

What's the deal with platform fighters? Jerry (the character from the show, not his actor) would use his comedian aesthetic and references to classic episodes to fight, and could possibly have some sort of laugh track meter mechanic. I've never seen Seinfeld, I just think funny slap bass man would be funny to have this game.

 

[Yiptap]

Job 1: Seung Gi-hun (Squid Game)

The protagonist of Netflix's most successful show yet (And my current profile picture), Seung Gi-hun could be a very interesting fighter, like the Villager of our Smash. I chose Gi-hun because he hails from Netflix's most successful series yet, so I think he is very deserving.

Job 2: 64
Basically what Wario Wario Wario said.

 

[cashregister9]

Job 1

Tommy Oliver (Power Rangers)

Tommy Oliver is the most reoccurring ranger throughout the franchise. appearing in multiple seasons and appears as multiple rangers. Power Rangers is a powerhouse of a franchise by itself and is popular throughout the whole world and double that if we include Super Sentai.

Job 2

64

 

[AlRex]

Only just now realizing how funny it is for some of these potential options to be revealed next after Mario, Mickey, Superman, and Goku. I might go back on what I said in a bit and submit my own entry.

 

[Deleted member]

64. Pretty much what WWW said

Job 1:

The Doctor (Doctor Who)

An iconic television character with 50+ years of appearances to pull from. An alien from a powerful society who ran away in a time machine. The Doctor is normally portrayed as a pacifist (apart from when they aren't), so you have to get creative with their moveset, but it could be done. They could make use of the Tardis, the Sonic Screwdriver, and perhaps references to their various enemies. We would have to decide which version to go with. (I'd say 13, 10 or 4 with others as alts.)

 

[AlRex]

Job #1

Kermit the Frog (The Muppets)
Yes, he counts, like I said. His shows usually involve interacting with humans in some way, and the Muppets can be interacted with in real life mostly as they are in the shows/movies, unlike a stop-motion, CGI, or 2D animated character (although I'd probably say Roger Rabbit or King Kong would be eligible for the movie one later on, so I dunno). I think he fits for having another iconic character show up first, while being unorthodox and strange enough for a fighting game pick to show that this game can have some very different choices than other fighters. He's taken on a lot of roles over the years, has years of TV and movie appearances to draw from, and could have a unique type of movement to some of his attacks, given that he's a puppet/Muppet. I can see him ragdoll-ing for some of his moves, as weird as that could be.

 

[CheeseAnton]

Job #1: Steve Harrington

The greatest babysitter to ever exist, Steve Harrington would be a great character to add because he'd be a new rep with great moveset potential and personality.

But first, why Steve? I chose Steve out of all the Stranger Things characters because Steve seems to be the most popular and is a fantastic character, he's also a great example of how to use character development to make a nearly unforgivable character the only reason you watch season 3.

Moves Steve can use are swings of his baseball bat, using the ice cream scooper from Scoops Ahoy!, among other things

Job #2: 64, because that's the amount of blocks you can have in a stack in Minecraft

72 [9 x 8]
80 [10 x 8]

Job #1
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Mysterious prophetic dreams have lead to this moment... a battle not with vampires, but with... a caped hero? A plumber? A martial artist? Surely this can't be right - can it?

Buffy's own toolkit mostly relies on her abilities as a Slayer. As well as stuff given to her at a later stage during the Twilight Crisis arc such as flight, she has more basic abilities such as her intense and surprisingly adept skill in various fighting forms such as aikido and jiu jitsu. This, combined with her enhanced strength and, in her own words, "fashion sense," are sure to make her quite an effective fighter against some characters.

Whilst I don't know Buffy all too well, the series has been pretty popular overall, and has held up over time as a pretty popular cult TV show, so I guess there's potential here.

Job #2
I'm going to say 64, because it's a cool number, and it's not too many but not too few.

 

[Janx_uwu]

JOB 1: Dwight Schrute (The Office)

The Office is an extremely popular and highly influential sitcom that follows the wacky hijinx and drama of the employees at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company (who hardly ever get actual work done). The Office itself has become synonymous with Netflix binging (ironic, as the show no longer exists on Netflix).
The show's most beloved character, without a doubt, would have to be Dwight Schrute. This authority-craving, egotistical employee is the Assistant to the Reigonal Manager (that being Steve Carell's character, Micheal Scott). He is, for lack of a better term, an icon of pop culture, which is why I think he'd be a great choice for our first live-action fighter.
As for movesets, it'd be pretty cool to see a character who excluisively attacked with office supplies. I haven't watched a ton of the Office, though, so I don't have much more to add than that. For alts, we could go the Hero route and have his co-workers be the different costumes, or just have them be his many different attires throughout series (I, for one, think a Christmas elf Dwight would be hillarious to see).

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Job #1: Sherlock Holmes

I think we should add some timeless characters in here from the start who were essential in the history of pop culture and so my pick for that would be Sherlock Holmes. He would fight by using investigative techniques and boxing.

Job #1: Sherlock Holmes

I think we should add some timeless characters in here from the start who were essential in the history of pop culture and so my pick for that would be Sherlock Holmes. He would fight by using investigative techniques and boxing.

I think these have to be characters who first appeared on TV. So Sherlock (a book character) wouldn't count.

We should def add him at some point though.

 

[ssbashworld]

Tom Servo & Crow T. Robot

Two co-hosts of Mystery Science Theatre 300. Has some moveset potential utilizing things related to robots, the future, & old cheesy movies.

 

[AlRex]

Champion of Hyrule @Darkonedagger Yes, I'll say for now Sherlock isn't eligible for this job, originating more as a literary character, but should absolutely be added later.

I'll also say that, like the "Smash in Another Universe", you can submit Music and Profiles at any time during the thread, but there will eventually be a limit. For Superman, I'd stick mostly to Superman associated stuff for now rather than all of DC, though that could include anything from the movies, TV shows, or even things like the New Gods or the Legion of Superheroes. Dragon Ball could also include Dr. Slump and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, but I wouldn't stretch it so far to accept Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest for now. Mario can include all of his spin-offs. Mickey, I'd mostly stick to characters in his general universe, Darkwing Duck would probably be the limit there. No Disney Princesses, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, etc. yet. Sorry for so many rules for right now.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Job 1:
Micheal Scott (The Office)

Micheal Scott is main character of The Office series. He is boss of the Office and he is most Office character of the series.
His moveset could be based on Office stuff like spilling mugs with coffee or screaming at people like "Nooooooo God Please no!", and his Final Smash could be something related to Office.
He could be Unexpected pick for Pop Culture smash bros.
(Sorry if I didn't watch the show)

Job 2:
I'll go with 50 characters.

(Why I did wrote it poorly?)

 

[OrpheusTelos]

Job 1:
Ross (The Office)

Ross is main character of The Office series. He is boss of the Office and he is most Office character of the series.
His moveset could be based on Office stuff like spilling mugs with coffee or screaming at people like "Nooooooo God Please no!", and his Final Smash could be something related to Office.
He could be Unexpected pick for Pop Cultire smash bros.

Job 2:
I'll go with 50 characters.

You’re refering to Michael Scott, right? I think you might’ve gotten his name confused with a character from Friends. Just wanna make sure people know who you’re talking about.

Anywho while I’m here, I might as well submit someone.

Job #1: Walter White/Heisenberg (Breaking Bad)

Walter White is the main protagonist of Breaking Bad. At the start of the series, he’s just your average science teacher and family man. But after his cancer diagnosis, he turns to a life of crime with his former student Jesse Pinkman in order to pay for his treatment.

Being from one of the most critically acclaimed television dramas in recent memory, I think Walt would be an excellent choice for this roster. As Walt often utilizies his scientific expertise to get out of sticky situations, there’s a lot you could pull from for a potential moveset. Also he’s funny

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Dwight K Schrute

See? He is already ready.

Dwight hails from the vastly more funny and successful American version. Dwight K Schrute is a master of all forms of combat…from karate, to lighting fireworks, to self-defense, and everything in between. Unless it’s pranks which, regrettably, tends to get the best of him. That being said, it’s due to the machinations of his co-worker Jim Halpert who is leagues behind Dwight (his words, not mine). In his home series, he’s battled his boss, Michael Scott to the death, fought off a deadly bat, retrieved a burning hot pocket (or something) from a burning building, burned the building and caused mayhem, used a paintball gun to assassinate a cardboard Saddam Hussein, ripped the face off of a CPR training dummy and extracted the vital organs, and even powered through a presentation despite having appendicitis. And dare I mention how he saved his arch nemesis from a pounding after the receptionist’s enraged ex-boyfriend attacked Jim for kissing the receptionist. He did all that with just a can of pepper spray but please don’t call him a hero…but it’s ok if you do cause he was the hero. That’s just a fraction of his achievements. Though none other are more dear than being Dunder-Mifflin Employee of the Month for the Scranton branch. His ability to raise the crowds and drive sales so that “together we can prevail” truly show that this man…nay…this beer Farmer…could rise to the challenge and “sow his oats” among the likes of Mickey and Superman.

I saw that someone wrote another Dwight post. I will combine with that one to create an even larger and superior post honoring Dunder-Mifflin’s greatest employee.

This is even after considering other greats like Ron Swanson, Troy and Abed, and Hiro from Heroes.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Champion of Hyrule @Darkonedagger Yes, I'll say for now Sherlock isn't eligible for this job, originating more as a literary character, but should absolutely be added later.

I'll also say that, like the "Smash in Another Universe", you can submit Music and Profiles at any time during the thread, but there will eventually be a limit. For Superman, I'd stick mostly to Superman associated stuff for now rather than all of DC, though that could include anything from the movies, TV shows, or even things like the New Gods or the Legion of Superheroes. Dragon Ball could also include Dr. Slump and Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, but I wouldn't stretch it so far to accept Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest for now. Mario can include all of his spin-offs. Mickey, I'd mostly stick to characters in his general universe, Darkwing Duck would probably be the limit there. No Disney Princesses, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, etc. yet. Sorry for so many rules for right now.

So we can submit profiles and music starting now?

Alright, here are the characters to vote for in our first job!
Wario Wario Wario Jerry Seinfeld (Seinfeld)
Yiptap Seung Gi-hun (Squid Game)
cashregister9 Tommy Oliver (Power Rangers)
@Darkonedagger The Doctor (Doctor Who)
AlRex Kermit the Frog (The Muppets)

As you might have known by now, you vote for three, and only put yours in second or third. Here are my own votes.
1. The Doctor
2. Kermit
3. Buffy

Tom & Crow narrowly missed the vote for me, and in general, there were a lot of good choices, both strange and conventional, but I wanted to at least give some shine to the first/only female character we’ve nominated so far. Plus she also brings her own unique atmosphere along with her series. I think Buffy’s an interesting example in this category for another reason. Technically, there is a movie, but it’s a rather different thing than the show, and I would consider the show much more of the driving cultural presence and the main mythology that springs to mind for Buffy. I’d consider this less of a stretch than if someone nominated Batman, the Hulk, Arya Stark, etc. here, but only just about. I’ll allow it for now.

Also based on the current consensus, our base roster will be 64. Stay tuned for later developments.

And Champion of Hyrule you can indeed

I’d consider this less of a stretch than if someone nominated Batman, the Hulk, Arya Stark, etc. here, but only just about. I’ll allow it for now.

Also based on the current consensus, our base roster will be 64. Stay tuned for later developments.

I'd like to preface this by apologising for submitting Buffy, as I wasn't aware there was a movie. I was going from what I was aware of (being my limited knowledge on the show due to a friend of mine being a big fan of it), so I'd like to cordially offer my apologies for the confusion.

1. The Doctor (there's a lot of bias from me here, but also a ton of potential. bonus points if K-9 is part of his toolkit!)
2. Michael Scott (this would be pretty funny to see, and the level of meme potential of him doing "parkour" as his moveset would be hilarious)
3. Kermit the Frog (funny smash 4 meme haha - also, a pretty cool worldwide pick in a sense.)

 

[CheeseAnton]

1. Walter White (great moveset potential and is currently relevant due to memes. Memes are power. Walter White would be powerful)
2. The Doctor (admittedly not a big fan of the show, but I recognize he has to be here)
3. Steve Harrington (he's my main in Dead by Daylight)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

1. Kermit
2. Doctor
3. Seinfeld

 

[cashregister9]

1. The Doctor
2. Tommy
3. Tom and Crow

 

[Dan Quixote]

lol yeah I'll join in on this, I love making haphazard and spastic pop culture references! and I'm only half joking...

1. The Doctor (loath as I am to put a British at my #1 spot, the Doctor is just so damn enduring in everyone's mind.)
2. Kermit the Frog (shocking amount of moveset potential here)
3. Jerry Seinfeld (would have great lines)

[AlRex]

Absolutely. Especially if they can potentially become items later on.

1. Walter White (great moveset potential and is currently relevant due to memes. Memes are power. Walter White would be powerful)
2. The Doctor (admittedly not a big fan of the show, but I recognize he has to be here)
3. Steve Harrington (he's my secondary main in Dead by Daylight)

EDIT: I just realized, Walter White is not on the list of candidates, AlRex you need to add him cause OrpheusTelos submitted him

Op, yeah, that's a goof on my part, will rectify that, as well. If anyone wanted to vote for Walter but didn't realize he was there, feel free to change your votes if you want.

Alright, I think we've got votes for everyone. Like, literally every character nominated got at least one vote.
Jerry Seinfeld: 14
Seung Gi-hun: 2
Tommy Oliver: 3
The Doctor: 19
Kermit the Frog: 23
Steve Harrington: 3
Buffy Summers: 2
Dwight Schrute: 4
Tom Servo & Crow T. Robot: 3
Michael Scott: 2
Walter White: 11
Meaning the winner is Kermit the Frog! But not to toot my own horn, I'm glad for the turn-out this early on, and the sheer variety that is already proven by just this category alone. Also, as far as other material for him and his series, you can submit anything from the Muppet Show or Sesame Street, maybe other Henson productions, barring Ninja Turtles or something like that. This could still mean that a Sesame Street originating Muppet could get in later, though, if we are so inclined.

Now for our next two jobs, ones that should be pretty foundational.
Job #3: What should the general gameplay style be like?
How much should be shared in common with Smash? This will still be a platform fighter, but what else? Keep damage percentages? Lifebars instead? The same methods of inputting normals, Smash Attacks, and Specials? Add Super Meters? Anything else? Just offer a general, quick summary, maybe with any other overall mechanical differences/similarities it would have with regular Smash Bros, or any other platform fighters like Nick All-Star Brawl, MultiVersus, etc.

Job #4: What should the name of the game be?
I personally thought of "Pop Culture Clash", but if anybody's got some other ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

Game Name: Super Smash Bros. Conglomerate

A fitting name, both for something with lots of different types of character and lots of major corporations represented.

Small gameplay proposition: we should have light and strong attacks like NASB - but also light and strong specials

 

[Baysha]

I agree with this. But we should also only have mid, up, and down inputs for the attacks to keep things from getting too complicated.

 

[AlRex]

My proposal for the general gameplay style.
Specials are like Smash, Neutral, Forward, Up, and Down. We also have Shield + Special for certain special mechanics/abilities of certain characters.
The ground and Aerial Attacks will be like they are in NASB, with Lights and Strongs.
The Final Smash equivalent: Supers. Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with a meter bar at the bottom. Not done like PSASBR where they're the only thing that can KO, though.
Damage will work the same as Smash or NASB, by percentages, with higher percentages sending foes flying further out of the arena.
Generally, you’d just have to submit the main four Specials and the three Supers, though you can mention these other things.

I personally thought of "Pop Culture Clash", but if anybody's got some other ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

Job #3: My own response to this is that it should play a bit like a combination of Smash, NASB, and PSASAR (but done well.) Similar baseline control scheme to Smash, but with strong and weak "normal" attacks in the place of smashes and tilts, as well as supers in the place of Final Smashes (though not with that bull**** mechanic where they're the only move that can K.O. an enemy.)

Job #4: Everything vs Everything. I think it would be pretty hilarious to have this as a reference to arguably the most popular M.U.G.E.N game, given this is going to look like a M.U.G.E.N roster by the end of it all - plus, having Kung Fu Man as the Sandbag equivalent is unreasonably funny to me.

Job #4: Battle of Universes

I think it’s a good title because it’s hype yet rather generic since this game would appeal to a lot of people
