Super Smash Bros. Infinite Project (Finally Finished!???)

[cashregister9]

Following this job, we will be submitting music for the winning stage so please keep that in mind. That being said, following the music submissions, we will be starting our next to last pack (not chronoigically).

This character will be of Western origin. So I want to hear your opinions, should we keep the prompt open or should we narrow it down?

Please keep in mind:

• Ratchet can cycle between weapons which, technically, would work in the same way as an FPS fighter
• We have two sword users
• One fighter
• No girls so far
• No one who uses fists
• Platformer, Fighting, Adventure, and RPG are represented

Based on that, what do you think is a desirable prompt? General submissions OR something more focused?

Using this criteria these are the first 3 characters that I thought of

Jaina from Warcraft
Cadence from Crypt Of The Necrodancer
Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club

No I don't know why these were the first 3 I thought of

Honestly, I think keeping the prompt open with the only rules being the ones above could be neat.

...okay, this actually makes the most sense out of literally everything. We have our winner, pack it up.

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Figured out the perfect character: Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango

• He's western, made by LucasArts
• He's from a point-and-click adventure game, one that's considered one of the greatest of all time
• He has a scythe, not a sword
• His moveset could feel like a point-and-click adventure in and of itself without the need for a gimmick.
• Is one fighter.

Real question how a point and click would work in Smash?, You don't control the character but a mystical cursor?

Well, here's the thing: usually point-and-click adventure games are about puzzles. You explore the map in search of items that allow you to solve puzzles that advance the story. Perhaps Manny has an inventory of items like the RE folks that he can use against foes? And unlike with the RE folks, his items would be random everyday items and not guns and herbs.

 

[AlteredBeast]

I feel for our next newcomer, we should do a general "Submit a newcomer from a Western franchise that is from a genre not yet represented in Infinite." There are tons of choices here from Miner Willy, Doomslayer, Carmen San Diego, Freddi Fish, Dirk, etc. Going general would be the best route.

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Carmen San Diego

Wait, is Carmen San Diego a game!?!?!

 

[chocolatejr9]

Wait, is Carmen San Diego a game!?!?!

Believe it or not, yes, Carmen Sandiego is a video game character. She's just more famous for her TV shows.

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Well, everyday we learn something

 

[AlteredBeast]

I still think Infinite should have an edutainment rep of some form. The top candidates are Carmen San Diego (who did start off as a video game character), Freddi Fish or any Humongous Entertainment character, a JumpStart character, Pal (the V.Smile mascot), even Zayzoo, etc. Definitely could be an out-of-left-field pick for sure here.

How about Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey IslandTM? Would work as a shill pick, considering that (I'm DEAD serious with all of this):

1. Return to Monkey Island was recently announced the last month and is releasing this year. And that's quite a big deal, since the series is very important to the history of a genre itself overall.
2. Even before that, some current relevance like:
   • Limited Run's physical anthology collection.
   • The whole series having been released on Steam (with Tales returning from being de-listed).
   • The first two games' Special Editions being accessible on PlayStation Now.
   • A easter egg from the Pirates of the Caribbean expansion in Sea of Thieves.
     • Funnily enough, a cancelled Monkey Island film adaptation with Steven Spielberg himself as a producer, apparently had some parts of it's script being re-used for The Curse of the Black Pearl.
3. The series does have history with Japan (the first game and LeChuck's Revenge via SEGA CD & FM Towns respectively) and Nintendo consoles (Tales of Monkey Island on WiiWare).
4. A iconic (and smart) character, who made multiple cameos in other LucasArts games (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II & Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine - he did a Jedi mind trick before ) and was referenced as a easter egg outside them like Uncharted 4, The Witcher 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
5. A pure pirate rep unlike King K. Rool, like how Takamaru is kind of a ninja (despite being a samurai) compared to Sheik.
6. Guybrush's moveset would work without making him entirely a swordfighter, though insult swordfighting (known for being one of the most iconic puzzles in a point-and-click adventure genre) deserves a special move on it's own.
7. Other LucasArts/Lucasfilm Games IPs such as Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango would be implemented as Mii Costumes and Spirits.
8. Content potential:
   • Many memorable locations (like the eponymous Monkey IslandTM itself) & characters for both stages and cameos/Spirits (like a Three Headed Monkey in very rare cases, akin to Liquid Metal Slime in Yggdrasil's Altar).
   • LeChuck either as an Assist Trophy or a boss (based on all of his forms throughout the series).
   • Multiple songs and remixes such as the famous main/opening theme itself, SCUMM Bar, LeChuck's Theme, The Bone Song, A Pirate I Was Meant to Be, etc.
   • A Smash Dungeon based on The Secret of Monkey Island, complete with a Master Spirit of Carla (Dojo; as you need to fight others for getting new insults to win against her), Stan S. Salesman (Shop) or others. Would make the most sense, considering a genre.
9. Last, but not least: The one and only, Murray the Demonic Talking Skull, accompanying Guybrush in his taunts, like Morgana, Slime and Rex.

"I found the Treasure of Mêlée Island, and all I got was this stupid letter!"

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Would an Edutainment rep sell though? Especially has our last third party submission for this season

 

[Jomosensual]

Jomosensual, I am sorry but I couldn't get to this now but this series would be ineligible because Big Daddy is a Mii Costume

Ah damn, that must have happened while I took a bit of a break from the thread. No worries

EDIT: Nevermind, saw the update. Sweet!

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Wouldn't Miner Willy be a Metroidvania rep? I guess we don't have a Metroidvania newcomer at least.

 

[Jomosensual]

Skimming that over quick I think Ahri from League of Legends would make sense.

 

[Qwerty UIOP]

Believe it or not, yes, Carmen Sandiego is a video game character. She's just more famous for her TV shows.

Same as Shrek. Shrek was originally a book character and is more popular with the movie that came out eleven years later

 

[Deleted member]

Lara could work for a western rep. Plus she's technically not a Sqaure character now. Not rlly a new genre though

Slayer is an obvious pick. Maybe someone from Legaue?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

1. Shapeshifter, character type Smash has yet to have and negates a need for weapons.
2. Genre (utility) only has one fighter thus far (Wii Fit Trainer)
3. Species (anthropomorphic inanimate object) not yet seen in Smash
4. Not a duo
5. Familiar to Nintendo fans despite not having any Nintendo releases
6. Home-grown, non-acquirred Microsoft character
7. No silver or grey DLC characters yet
8. Frequently discussed, every time he returns causes some kind of interest
9. Could bring along some banger tunes and a stage that writes itself

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Discussion:
Master Chief (Microsoft)

1. Western character (He was made by Bungie for Microsoft, American company)
2. Has a sword and he uses his fists, but his most of his arsenal is basically guns or rifles, so we count is as non-sword/fist user.
3. He comes from FPS games, unrepresented genre in the game.
4. He may not appear on Nintendo consoles, but if Ratchet appeared in roster, so he does Chief.
5. He is one of most requested 3rd party fighters for smash.
6. He is not a duo fighter, but solo one.
7. He has moveset potential due to huge amount of guns, which it speaks for itself (Also other animations like taunts would work well)
8. He would be gimmicky fighter that his gimmick would be faithful to his home series.
9. Also he has cool soundtrack that realy should be represented in the game (Notorious example: Halo: Combat Evolved - Main theme)

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

If the Slayer isn't here, the Chief is my second option by far.

I don't think submissions are open yet. This is just a discussion period

Oops. Sorry.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Alright everyone,

So I took a look through the votes and we have had thirteen votes. That being said, I feel there is a clear winner....

Name	3 Votes	2 Votes	1 Vote	Total
World of Civilization	0	0	1	1
Kagasuchi	2 (6)	0	1	7
The Zoo	1 (3)	2 (4)	0	7
Battle Bus	0	1 (2)	2	4
SIm's House	1 (3)	1 (2)	2	7
Aperture Smash Chamber	4 (12)	3 (6)	2	20
Nuketown	2 (6)	0	1	7
Anor Landor	0	1 (2)	1	3
Rapture	0	4 (8)	1	9
Presidium	0	0	0	0
Hangar	1 (3)	0	1	4
Watchpoint	1 (3)	1 (2)	1	5

The only stage to get into the double digits was Aperture Smash Chamber which represents Portal as a franchise/universe in Smash. Any Spirits from Portal; ones previously included or included later, can utilize this stage. In addition, we will be opening up:

10 Music Tracks for this stage. When you submit music, only submit two please.

Wario Wario Wario and ivanlerma , you could both submit two tracks? Wario3 for the Mappy stage and Ivanlerma for Winter Sports Events. Obviously, these tracks has to be from these games. Beyond these two new tracks, Mappy will use Pac-Man related music and Winter Sports Events will utilize Mario AND Sonic music.

Lastly, what would Portal's Series Icon be?

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Icon:

 

[Janx_uwu]

Will submit tracks soon

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

The portal icon should be:

(It comes from Portal 1 game)
Yes, the stickman falling into the portal that represent the main theme of the game - Portals.
It would make sense to include it.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Songs for Mappy:

1. Mappy Theme (Original)
2. Hopping Mappy Theme (Original)

 

[PastaRorroKuma]

FINALLY PORTAL REPRESENTATION HOLY ****
I'll submitt tracks later, by now I want to ask if Still Alive and Want you Gone could be submitted since they were mentioned in Janx's submission post

 

[Janx_uwu]

Songs for Aperture Smash Chamber:
Want You Gone
Some Assembly Required
Edit: since Wario3 included a non-instrumental version of Still Alive I went ahead and changed mine to the original version. Also replaced You Can't Escape with Some Assembly Required

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

1. Still Alive (Crooner Mix)
2. Your Precious Moon

Just realised anyone can submit for Portal. There's also a Sinatra-style Want You Gone by the same channel as the Still Alive, but it isn't really as energetic as their Still Alive so I'll pass on submitting that. For Precious Moon I just skimmed through random songs until I found one I liked.

 

[GolisoPower]

1) Subject Name Here
2) 999999 [Remix] aeiou

Lastly, what would Portal's Series Icon be?

Speaking of, we never really figured out what the Series Icons for R&C, Tales and GG would be, did we?

 

[GolisoPower]

Double posted, sorry.

 

[Janx_uwu]

If we need a logo that's already in the style of Smash series icons, here's the Aperture lens.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

1. 4000 Degrees Kelvin
2. Science is fun - Portal 2

 

[PastaRorroKuma]

1. The Part Where He Kills You
2. Radio Tune

 

[Adrianette Bromide]

You know we've passed two indie characters (the game having three total if you count Steve) without Undertale yet and I feel that's sorely remiss. Frisk would be perfect to add, no? Not exactly a fist fighter but would probably unorthodox methods of fighting and maybe even an entirely unique Mercy mechanic. Does hugging count as using your fists :3?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I feel Undertale's rep should be Undyne; Asgore; or Mettaton - Sans isn't that unique moveset wise once you remove his role in the game/fan favourite status, and Frisk's mercy/paths mechanics could get way too complex.

Also, if we added Mettaton, we'd have a fighter directly inspired by the cinema-defining masterpiece A Grand Day Out.

 

[NanayaGaming]

Omori counts has western right?, I would like to see Sunny/Omori then, it's very popular and the emotion mechanic would be very cool to see adapted (:

 

[cashregister9]

Are we allowed to submit other Valve game Music or are we keeping it to just Portal in case we add a Valve rep at some point?

 

[Janx_uwu]

Are we allowed to submit other Valve game Music or are we keeping it to just Portal in case we add a Valve rep at some point?

Since Portal and Half-Life are of the same universe it shouldn't be a crime but I don't make the music rules, forgot what Venus said about shared universes
