Yup, that was my goal. But as it turns out, I put Bonanza Bros. on it twice, so I went ahead and added Toma from Shining Force EXA as an additional character. I also considered Ristar, but I think he'd look weird from behind, Neff from Altered Beast, though I didn't really think he'd fit well in a vehicle, and bringing Zobio and Zobiko back, but I really feel like House of the Dead works best with a track, because we're there for the environment, not the characters.
I completely agree with House Of The Dead working better as a track!
Besides, I put Neff on my SEGA vs. Capcom roster. Were you around when I posted that? I know you took a break recently.
It's funny. Ganondord did the same thing to Young Link, specifically in OOT. And did that to Zelda too apparently, when he took over the kingdom. Note that even with the split timelines about, he still killed the Deku Tree either way. So at most Zelda's father was spared. I mean, countless guards too at the castle, when he completely changed it. ...Maybe those Iron Knuckles are possessed guards? It's clearly a thing in canon, as Nabooru was an Iron Knuckle. And Twinrova taught Ganondorf magic.
is also on the dead parents club since him's die the exact day he is born due to monsters and the King of Heliodor getting possesed.
So for Team Choatix, will you have Vector and Espio side by side with Charmy flying above them?
My opinion on Sword and Shield remains the same.
While it's a little small for my tastes, I wouldn't complain about this roster. It's very good and covers a lot of bases.
Indulge wasn't the right word; I meant "humor you."
Yeah. I suppose. I'm just bored. I think we all are.Given how fast this year went. It'll be June as soon as you know it.
All in all It is a really nice roster too!
I know that. I just went and trimmed a bunch of fat on mine. It's sitting at 84 and that's with the caviot that it's reusing every asset from the last 3 Sumo Digital Racers. I've been making an effort to try to reign myself in in recent roster projects. That being said, especially for a kart racer where a lot of the characters in it have already been done before and require WAY less work then a fighting game character, I think they can be a bit bigger then 40 characters total.
I wanted to include characters who I felt could fit more naturally into a more traditional fighting game as opposed to a more Smash-Bros. style game (which is one reason I included Blaze at all), which is why you're seeing less "cartoony" characters. I personally love Super Monkey Ball, but I couldn't in good faith put AiAi there, for example.
Then I am fine with the lack of presence of Alex Kidd and Billy if you go with the style of later MvC games.
Even if you're reusing assets, you still have to do updates to the models and animations or risk coming off as lazy. Take Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe as an example. Even in deluxe we only got five new characters (though we admittedly probably could've gotten more if they'd added less tracks). And on that list, which is one of the biggest rosters in a racing game and reused/updates a lot of pre-existing assets, we still only have a roster of 42 (not including alternate costumes). And that's with Nintendo money backing for it. SEGA doesn't have the same legacy behind them (despite their list of IPs).
They didn't add any new tracks to deluxe. They added a handfull of battle arenas.... or maybe all of them, was battle mode new in deluxe? But the only tracks in 8 Deluxe are the ones from the Wii U game.
Doesn't stop me with my ideal Super Smash Bros. vs. Jump Stars game.
That’s kinda the approach I take with some of my fan project ideas, I don’t want to overbloat an game I have in mind, but I wanna get as much material as I can while still keeping somewhat realistic expectations, and for the most part I feel like I’m getting better with that.
I admit that my habit of making 80 character rosters is ridiculous. But I still think 50-60 is a reasonable ammount for any project post-DLC.
Among my favs would have to be Cliffhanger, Cobra, RoboCop 1, 2 & 3 and Fast and Furious films.
My favourite action movies are Robocop 1, Predator, the original Transformers animated movie, Bumblebee, Godzilla vs Megalon, Godzilla King Of The Monsters, Rambo and Creed.
Are the last 3 really considered action? I always considered giant monsters its own genre and Creed more of an drama given its about Boxing and that's what Rocky was mostly about then anything.
Out of that list, I've only seen Robocop 1, the seventh and eighth Fast and Furious movies, and Hobbes and Shaw - I've been meaning to watch Cobra for a while, but I wasn't sure if Robocop 2 and 3 were good or "so bad it's good". I'll have to watch the second one some time, at least.
Depends on the project. Though in my case, I try to aim around that area.
I suppose. It's just, as someone who is pretty much a Laurie Loner in every game, more characters means more game play time and I'm always gonna want a lot.
Its amazing how the Fast and Furious series started. It began about stealing VHS players from racing to suddenly government spies preventing WWIII to eventually cybernetically enhanced superbeings.
Oddly enough, Bumblebee and the original animated movie are two of the few Transformers movies that I haven't seen. (I watched the first four Michael Bay ones) I've heard that Bumblebee was supposed to be better, but I don't remember why I didn't get around to watching it.
Forgot to share this catch I got this morning.
I watched Bumblebee some weeks ago and I can confirm It is really good.
