Fighter Submission:
When looking for potential characters for
Brawl of Fame. My favorites have got to be ones you could classify under "completely unexpected, but completely justified". And for this job I knew I wanted someone who fits that category. Maybe someone who represented a type of game that might go unrepresented otherwise, overlooked by more popular genres like platformers or rpgs.
I'd also love to submit a character that would be something more than just a game's player character, a villain, perhaps?
Of course, this character still needs to be recognizable. If I want a "wait, they put HER in this game?!" reaction. They need to be a face I can trust a decently big chunk of people can easily recognize, someone with an iconic design. Maybe a multimedia presence too?
So, I'm looking for a female villain representing an overlooked corner of gaming that's unexpected yet completely justified, with an iconic look and decent multimedia presence?
Where in the world am I going to find someone like that?
Carmen Sandiego (Carmen Sandiego)
Carmen Sandiego is the focal character of the
Carmen Sandiego series of edutainment games. She's the leader of V.I.L.E., an organization keen on stealing works from around the world. In the games you're typically some sort of detective intent on tracking her and her cohorts down.
She's a pretty popular character, with FOUR TV shows to her name. She's probably the most well-known character to come out of an educational game, and would fit in alongside the other characters rather well in comparison to most other edutainment options.
I'm imagining her moveset would lean heavily on stealth, stealing, and dare I say...
education.
Who wouldn't wanna learn about the world while fighting a rapping dog and the devil himself?
