Job #143: Submit a Wishing Star
Wishing Star is our adventure mode that we have included in Super Smash Bros. Infinite which, unfortunately, has been lacking compared to some of the other modes that we have. In Wishing Stars, characters are transported to a magical world filled with all kinds of worlds by a mysterious benefactor who invites the player's to "have their biggest wish come true". The game is confirmed to have elements o Subspace Emissary with traversable levels where players fight against enemies and other fighters.
But...what are Wishing Stars? They are a key gameplay element which can help turn the tide for the player with they have the correct Wishing Stars equipped.. Here are the general rules concerning Wishing Stars:
- Players can equip between one and five. A Star ranking shows what level the Wish is at. Powerful Wishes has more stars which takes up slots.
- 0-1 Stars: Takes up one slot (10 sec duration)
- 2 Stars: Takes up 2 slots. (25 second duration)
- 3 Stars: Takes up 3 slots (40 second duration)
- 4: Takes up all slots (72 second duration)
- Wishing Stars needs to be created using Wish Shards; small colored crystalline.
- Players must discover a way to create the Wish via through gameplay, defeating opponents, unlocking or purchasing recipes, etc. After doing so, they can find what kind of Shards are needed to create the Wish.
- The Wishing Star has a time limit with Rank 0 being quite low and rank 5 lasting a long time.
- There are eight colored Shards with each Shard having a role in a Wish creation:
- Red Wish Shard: Focuses attack damage, launch ability, special attack damage, shield damage, and fire, rage, and melee-oriented attacks.
- Blue Wish Shard: Boosts shields, dodging frames, perfect shield ability, rolling frames, superarmor, and water, ice, and energy-based attacks.
- Green Wish Shard: Aids jump, double jump, air time, air speed, air dodge, up special as well as wind or air-based attacks and aerial attacks.
- Purple Wish Shard: Aids item damage, item durability, transformation duration, summoning items as well as sword and weapon-based attacks such as Marth or King Dedede
- Yellow Wish Shard: Aids speed, walk speed, dash speed, attack speed, negative effect duration decrease as well as electricity and light-based attacks.
- Pink Wish Shard: Healing, increase in healing items appearing, more health granted to healing items, less recovery frames, and boosts Final Smashes.
- Black Wish Shard: Aids in improving negative effects, debuffing negative affects, causing terrain effects, inverse effects duration, as well as magical-based attacks including curses and spells.
- White Wish Shard: Aids in improving health, reducing damage taken, removing negative effects, dealing damage against evil foes, as well as light and holy-based attacks including spells and magic.
- Once a Wishing Star is created, it can be stored in a Wish Bank to given to a fighter in the character's mode roster. Once the Wish is used in game, it vanishes forever.
So what will we do? We will be creating our own Wishing Stars to include in this mode. The general idea is that they are a mixture between the Infinity Stones in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and Spirits in Ultimate and can only be used once. They can be used at anytime during gameplay but, once used, are gone forever and need to be recreated again.
There will be other UNIQUE Wishing Stars that play a role in the mode but we will explore them quite yet.,
To help set us up, I will submit one so people can get a general feelings:
Fancy Footwork Wishing Star
Stars:
Ingredients: 2 Green Shards, 2 Red Shards
Obtained: Perform over 50 successful kicking moves during gameplay
Effect: Gives a +12 attack damage boost to all kicking moves while also increase the attack speed by 2.5x. Increases walking/running movement like .4% after each successful kicking attack.
When submitting a Wishing Star, the following format must be used:
- Name
- Stars
- Ingredients
- Obtained
- Effect
Obtained can be through various means such as what i mentioned above or...
- Unlocking a particular character for your roster
- Purchasing (please provide the amount)
- Defeating a particualr character
- Progressing to a certain area in the adventure mode
- Meeting a certain character
- Fulfilling a requirement
I apologize for this being so late but I have been piecing this idea together for months and its finally ready to be rbought to the thread for development.
