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

[Deleted member]

I feel like I am pretty close to locking the thread up. I appreciate all the work and involvement over the past year but I lost the passion for this. I have no desire to continue with this thread.

That would be sad but understandable.

I feel like I am pretty close to locking the thread up. I appreciate all the work and involvement over the past year but I lost the passion for this. I have no desire to continue with this thread.

That's kinda sad to be honest, but we should deal with it...

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I will be closing the Smash Infinite thread. I am not sure if I will reopen it anytime soon or in the future. I probably won't be logging onto Smashboards for a while now which is irresponsible given my duties on the site, I know. Please contact an admin if you have any issues. Thank you for all of the help and support you have given over the course of the year.

Take care.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I have decided to keep it closed for the time being but I will be reopening it a bit later. If anyone wants to help run the day to day in my stead, please contact me. I won't be on the site as often as I need some time to collect myself.

That being said, we will be voting for tournaments. I feel bad to leave voting hanging when everyone already submitted stuff,

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I’m unlocking the thread. I apologize for my sudden actions. I might not be as active as before but I can’t simply throw away all the work you have all done due my own insecurities and sensitivities. You all deserve way more than that.

 

[chocolatejr9]

Dang, right after I left the Discord server. Granted, I wasn't very active on there, but now it feels awkward...

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

It's good to see the thread active again, but what would be the future of the same?, You will only come here to count votes and deliver the next jobs or you will assign someone else to be at charge?.

Anyway I hope you get better

I haven't decided yet. I do still enjoy the project and want to continue it. Truth be told, it's one constant in my life that I feel I have some sort of stake in it. As said as it might be. That being said, I am fatigued. I have a feeling I am going to start compiling multiple jobs into one segment so people can submit a myriad of things and pick and choose.

That being said, here's the results of the online tournament...

Name	2 Points	1 Point	Total
Unexpected Meeting	3 (6)	1	7
Nakamura's Legacy, Always Changing	0	4	4
Maze Madness	1 (2)	1	3
Rainbow Rage	2 (4)	0	4

With that in mind, Tankman from Newgrounds Unexpected Meeting will be more our Online tournament! Congrats! Thank you to everyone who submitted content!

Seriously, though, glad you decided to come back. I can only hope you're still taking good care of yourself regardless of whether or not you're having to deal with this project. In any case, thanks for returning.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Thanks everyone. I think we will start to ease ourselves into what we will be working on next. We will begin submitting alternate colors following characters:

Min-Min, Sephirtoh, and Pyra and Mythra​

I know technically Steve and Alex comes next but I need to think how to handle them. I am open to ideas though. When submitting, please provide a picture of the source, what color slot it fits in, and how it would look like! Remember, Pyra and Myhra will have colors that complement each other and occur within a set.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I think Steve should have 1 new Steve, 1 new Alex, 1 enemy mob skin, and 1 passive mob skin.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

For Sephiroth, one that makes his cloak white as a reference to Rufus Shinra.

 

[warpenguin55]

Don't worry about it Venus. Sometimes **** happens in life and sometimes people do rash things, happens to everyone.

However, I expect you to add Baldi from Baldi's Basics as compensation.

This, but unironically.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I forgot to mention that Sephiroth’s alts will be for his coat version but I may except a submission that changes the pants color.

 

[AlteredBeast]

This, but unironically.

The real flash game character should be Fancypants, not gonna lie.

 

[GolisoPower]

Min Min:

Chun-Li (Blue and Brown):
Much like how Incineroar's Purple Alt references Big the Cat, Min Min will get an Alt costume based on a third-party character: in this case, it's Chun-Li. In this alt, her beanie becomes a dark brown, her clothes and shorts are a deep blue at the top with yellow trims and brown at the bottom, with the tights being darker brown, and her shoes become a stark white. The Dragon Arm will also become black and white.

Sephiroth:

Weiss the Immaculate (White Topless):
The secondary antagonist of Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus and a secret boss from Final Fantasy VII Remake -Intergrade-, Weiss the Immaculate is a member of Deepground, a top-secret military organization. In Smash, Sephiroth gains a topless alt with white pants and retains the black boots.

Pyra & Mythra:

Noah and Mio:
This alt is based on the-wait, **** those aRE THE WRONG CHARACTERS-

ahem, sorry about that. ANYWAYS.

Noah & Mio (Scarlet and Grey)
This is an alt based on the protagonists of the (as of this post) upcoming 3rd entry in the Xenoblade Chronicles Series. Pyra's colors will be based on Noah. Her hair becomes bluish-black, with the gem on her head becoming a dark red, just like her 5th alt. However, Pyra's clothes will be adapted to be more based on Noah's clothes in-game. Mythra, conversely, will be more based on Mio. Her hair becomes a bright ash-gray, and the color palate in her clothes changes to be more in line with the clothes of the Off-Seer of Agnus.

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Sephiroth:
(I don't known if we are talking about replace his preexisting ones or make new ones, so I will just drop my ideas)
White - Based in Rufus Shinra ( Champion of Hyrule already submitted it tho).
Light Blue - Based on Jenova, it will also change Sephiroth's skin tone.
Blonde - Based on Cloud.

Pyra & Mythra:
Yellow - Based on Nia (Pyra) and

Spoiler: XC2 Spoilers

Flesh Eater Nia

(Mythra)
Blue - Based on their Driver Rex (both)
Gray - Based on Zeke and his Blade (both since the palette would mix their colors)
Dark Blue - Based on Morág (Pyra) and her Blade Brighid (Mythra)
Black/White - Based on Jin (Pyra) and Malos (Mythra)
White/Black 2 - Based on KOS-MOS (Pyra) and T-elos (Mythra)

I included more ideas for Pyra and Mythra since I think with the exception of their palette swap and the Pneuma colors most of them are more "bruh" meanwhile the Sephiroth colors has quite more sense.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Min Min: Brown where orange goes and beige where green goes

Sephiroth: Beige coat, brown cape

Pyra and Mythra: Brown clothes/hair Pyra, Beige clothes/hair Mythra

I like those colours. All characters should have brown & beige alts.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Min-Min:
Twintelle (Gray)

MinMin's costume would be based on Twintelle, fan-favorite ARMS character.
MinMin's beanie would be gray, while her hair is white. Her top is gray-white and her shorts and tights are dark gray. Her shoes are white colored.

Sephiroth:

Pyra/Mythra:
Azurda (Gray)

Their alts are based on Azurda, the Titan from Xenoblade 2.
Their whole clothes are gray with cyan accents. Their hair is cyan like Azurda's mane.

Sephiroth:

Chaos (Final Fantasy)

This alt is based on final boss of original Final Fantasy, Chaos!
Sephiroth's hair would be brown like Chaos' skin and his suit along with shoes would be also brown colored.
(This alt. would reference the OG FF villain, since we needs some pre-FF7 Final Fantasy references in our game)

 

[cashregister9]

Min Min - Dr. Coyle colors (Dark green)

Sephiroth - Genesis Colors ( scarlet, it would also make his sword red)

Pyra/Mythra - Lora Pyra and Addam Mythra (Gold)

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Thank you everyone for the submissions!

For Min-Min, we have:

• Brown
• Gray - Twintelle
• Dark Green - Dr. Coyle
• Blue - Potentially based on Chun-li.

Sephiroth:

• White - Rufus
• Light Blue - Jenova
• Brown - Chaos with some brown
• White (Topless ohhhlala) - Weiss

Pyra-Mythra:

• Grey - Azurda (with some brown in it)
• Black/White - Jin and Malos
• Scarlet and Grey - Noah and Milo
• Dark Blue - Based on Rex

I do feel these kind of mix what we have submitted.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

So, I do want to take the time that I have to say thank you to everyone for continuing to stick with this project. My first and foremost thoughts are with those who submit our content and you are all the reason why I want to see this through to the end. I wish I could disclose some things going on in my personal life but I don't feel confident in sharing that information as much of it is....surprising to say the least. It has impacted nearly every area of my life and, throughout the past few months, I have changed a bit. It's hard to explain why and how but I have. Things that used to make me emotional don't, things that never trigger me now do, I have felt both vulnerable and unbreakable, emotionless and passionate. It's been a weird transition that, hopefully, my new medication and therapy with support those who are near to me will help.

That being said, I do want to start up our next character submission. I had struggled who this character would be and I decided to wait doing a Nintendo character UNTIL we get some news. With E3 cancelled, we don't know if we will be getting any sort of information. That being said, I decided to push our Nintendo character job until perhaps out last newcomer.

That being said...

Submit a Third Party Character from a New Company​

This character will be joining Sony as our newest company character in Infinite. After Lloyd, it will be nice to see a character represented in Smash. In regards to what is grounds for submissions, we will be looking at the character and which company is more attached to them. For example, Crash is an Activision rep. Steve is a Majhong rep and was listed as such on the credits. This is to answer to issues such as Dark Souls and their attachment to Bamco. This isn't a free pass to submit a character who is largely known for being, for example, apart of of Capcom but developed by a different studio. Whichever company that character is tied closest to is what we are looking for.

Here are some ground rules:

• Character can be attributed to the colors orange or red.
• Character can't be a dual wielder
• Character can't be a team character
• No Sony
• No Namco (typical Namco characters)

Please submit a picture, character name, series they belong to, and why this character should be included.

 

[PastaRorroKuma]

Gordon Freeman (Half-Life)
The protagonist of one of the most influential games of the FPS genre, a great representative of FPS, PC Gaming and even maybe puzzles since they are a big element in Half-Life, he fits in all of the criteria mentioned and could bring a lot of interesting content.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Minecraft is my favorite mahjong game!

Steve is a Majhong rep

Super glad that they could add a Mahjong rep in smash!

I mean no offense by this, I know it’s easy to make silly spelling mistakes and I really don’t care, I just think it’s funny lol

SABER

Saber, True Name Artoria Pendragon, is a Servant, a Heroic Spirit of a figure from history summoned by a mage for a Holy Grail War, and one of the three heroines of the visual novel video game, Fate/stay night. Ever since her debut in the 2004 PC game, Saber has been one of the most popular characters in the series.

Why Saber?
Fate/stay night, surprisingly enough for those who know it better from its anime, got its start as a video game, and is one of the most popular visual novels in the world, on par with the likes of Ace Attorney and Danganronpa.

Though some Fate fans on the web would point out its rather...lascivious…first print of the game, it should be noted that later rereleases have been modified to be tamer, removing some overly questionable scenes altogether. Now there are other characters in the Fate series that are just as popular like Astolfo, Mash Kyrielight, and Jeanne d’Arc Alter, these are either from later games or not even of game origin at all.

How Would She Play?
Well, Saber would be a swordfighter who would be unique in the sense that she possesses one of the most legendary swords in the world, Excalibur, her Noble Phantasm. Furthermore, as a Servant, she possesses Skills, innate abilities that can benefit her in battle. In her case, they are:

• Magic Resistance: As it states, it is the protection against the effects of magic.
• Riding: A Skill usually reserved for Rider-class Servants, Saber here actually possesses a decent level of Riding, as knights are described as soldiers proficient at mounted combat.
• Charisma: An innate charm and ability to command armies, usually reserved for leaders like her, as she is actually the King Arthur spoken of in legend.
• Instinct: The ability to practically see attacks coming and calculate the best possible course of action.
• Mana Burst: The ability to expel magical energy to augment her own abilities. This quite obviously can be her Neutral Special.

There could also be something unique to her as well: Excalibur, when she was first summoned in the OG Fate/stay night, was made invisible using magic wind. This could benefit scare tactics and mind games that she could exploit with her foes, but she could also reveal it to be Excalibur with a Shield B that buffs her damage.

Character submission:
Ryu Hayabusa

Who is the Ryu Hayabusa?
Ryu Hayabusa is main protagonist of Ninja Gaiden series made by Tecmo back in 1988 on Arcades and NES console. He is a japanese ninja with dragon attributes, who wields an ancestral weapon called the Dragon Sword, which is actually an katana with dragon's power. He is also a leader of his "Hayabusa" clan as it was shown in games.
As it was shown in games, he travels from Japan to other countries like USA to prevent evil from attacking the world.
He is one of iconic video game ninjas that were praised by video game critics and he is considered as one of most iconic Koei Tecmo characters and even one of late 80's video game icons that are still known to today's times.

How he can fight?
Well, Ryu is not a stranger for fighting, since he can fight opponents by using his ancient sword or even use attacks from Dead or Alive series (Fun Fact: Did you know that DoA and Ninja Gaiden take place in the same universe?).
He would use moves from Ninja Gaiden games (Including the rebooted ones) as his attacks like sword slash or shuriken throw as neutral special. He would have a gimmick based on Dragon Arts, which are activated like in his home games where he unleashes his strong attacks to KO opponents.
He would also have interesting final smash examples like it would turn into Dragon form and wreck havoc across the battlefield.

He would be middleweight rushdown fighter with very fast speed and he could wall jump or wall cling like a real ninja!
Speaking of Ryu Hayabuse, his design would be based on modern incarnation and his alternate model would be taken from early NES games like Ninja Gaiden (1988).

Why Ryu as fighter?
You may ask why I chose him as 3rd Party fighter for this job? Well, because he is a very important 3rd party character to Nintendo history and he appeared on Nintendo consoles back in late 80's and early 90's (And he is still appearing on Nintendo consoles!) and he is considered as "Honorable Nintendo character".
He is also one of most requested 3rd party characters for Smash, which people really want him in Smash.
Keep in mind that he is also a retro character, which it would be cool if we had an 80's fighter in our Season 2 DLC, since we haven't got one in DLC.
Also I wanna tell that Koei Tecmo company needs to be represented as fighter in Smash Infinite, which is definitely Ryu Hayabusa!

At the end of submission, I have a song about ninjas to listen to:
Have fun!

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Bad Piggy (Rovio)

Who are the Bad Piggies?
Coloured green as an at-the-time topical swine flu joke, the Bad Piggies are the villains of the massively influential Angry Birds series of games - within the plot of the original game, they had stolen the bird's eggs and planned to fry them as a meal, led by the greedy King Pig Smooth Cheeks, and thustly the birds needed to tear down their forts to get their eggs back.

The Bad Piggies would go on to star in their own title: Bad Piggies, where the player is tasked with building inventions to help the pigs get to their much-desired eggs using a variety of parts and gizmos. While maybe not as big as Angry Birds, Bad Piggies was a big deal when it first launched - propelling to the top of the App Store charts. This game will be the basis for my piggy pitch and the reason to choose them over their avian rivals

Why should a Bad Piggy be in?
Bad Piggies is due to recieve a long-awaited sequel very soon, and as a whole the Angry Birds franchise is having a nostalgic resurgence due to its fans becoming adults with their own money - the classic Angry Birds games have been returning to app stores for example. Zoomers who may have already been attracted by the inclusion of Crazy Dave and Steve would be very happy to see the Piggy join. Angry Birds is a puzzle franchise, something we still haven't properly represented, and at that a physics puzzle franchise, which would make it unique even if Dr. Mario is considered a puzzle rep. We also already have Angry Birds content in base game.

What would a Bad Piggy do?
The Bad Piggy's moveset would probably revolve in some form around vehicle creation - while this isn't the only possibility, my idea is that the piggy should be inside a single frame with a wheel on the bottom - the left, right, and top all have different gizmos attached that can be swapped with a Down B, these would modify back/neutral, forward, and up attacks respectively - so, for example, you could put a fan at top to deal damage with your Up B and add a windbox to your up smash, or an umbrella to add a slow descent after your Up B and give your up smash a bigger hitbox. Similarly, you could put a Soda bottle as your back part to get a multihit back air and neutral B that creates a long, damage dealing geyser backward, or put on a pump to have your back air propel you a bit forwards and Neutral B that pushes foes behind you away with wind. (this is assuming that the Up B and Neuteal B are just standard flight and dash attacks, which they probably won't be)

There are many other ways to handle this though, like creating your own kart shapes; or having a destructible kart with some kind of physics to it.

Why a pig over a bird?
The most memorable part of Angry Birds is the wooden and steel structures - something the birds just can't represent since their goal in the game is to destroy them. The pigs, being the ones who build the structures, can represent the structures in the form of vehicles. Although there's only one Bad Piggies game, it is just as beloved as the other games, if not moreso, and has kept relevance through nostalgic memes and absurd inventions that show them as more than just the washed up pop culture icons people tend to (wrongfully) see the birds as.

Was Ryu not deconfirmed way earlier in the process?

Was Ryu not deconfirmed way earlier in the process?

No, he wasn't.
I've checked everything and nothing was about Hayabusa, so it's a fair game.

Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear - Arc System Works)

​

Sol Badguy, the Flame of Corruption and the Guilty Gear, the main character from the video game Guilty Gear. Easy the most iconic character in the Arc System Works repertorium.

Why Sol?
Sure we already have various characters from different fighting games, but Sol could represent a different subgenre in this spectrum, the Anime/Hyper Fighting Games. Those who has a lot of air mobility, combos that doesn't have any end, exagerated moves and more. It could be say that Darkstalkers and Marvel VS Capcom where first, but Guilty Gear was the game that pulled the idea. Apart of that, Guilty Gear isn't too niche anymore, Strive did a good job attracting a more big audience becoming one of the main faces of the genre.

How Would He Play?
Sol could be considered a weird mix between Terry, Ike and Joker having the general motion inputs and ground projectile of the first, the quite slow movement but high damage output of the second and the comeback mechanic of the third. He could also have his own unique mechanics like the air dash (instead of do a second jump you can do a sprint in the air in horizontal direction) and the iconic Roman Cancel of his franchise allowing Sol to cancel his moves. Probably also including the Tension Gauge, the meter of the game, that like Terry could also allow him to use his most iconic super moves (called Overdrives in his game), the Tyrant Rave and the Dragon Install (the Arsene-esque comeback).

Why Sol as fighter?

1. Has I sayed before, Guilty Gear represents an important subgenre of the Fighting Games spectrum
2. Arc System Works could not have a big story like other companies, but still has good presence in the industry and also has history with Nintendo starting with the port of Missing Link in Game Boy Advance. (Technically starting with Kunio-Kun and Double Dragon but these franchises weren't part of ArcSys at the start).
3. My personal bias.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Avatar (Ultima) - EA

Who Is The Avatar?
The Avatar is the main character of the Ultima series, a fantasy game series that started way back in 1981 with Ultima I but technically with Akalabeth: World of Doom in 1979. Meaning I feel like a boomer for submitting him despite being the opposite. Anyway, the series was a notable influence for games like Final Fantasy and played a huge part in shaping how RPG games are played today, and the games were very popular but have sort of fallen into obscurity recently most likely due to their age and the fact that they’ve mostly been relegated to PC except for a few console ports. The Avatar is the main character in every game although his design changes each time. The one I included is his design from Ultima VI which is likely his most iconic appearence (and the one on his wikipedia page). And yes, the box art is very cool.
If you wanna know more about the series, this is a pretty good video:

Why Should He Be In Smash?
Well, like I mentioned before, his series was a huge influence on many western and eastern RPG’s (alongside Wizardry which released at around the same time but I chose not to submit now) but isn’t remembered very often so adding him would be a great way to pay tribute to gaming history and represent some lesser known series. He can also act like a microcomputer rep which smash does technically have buuuuut they’re both thought as as playstation reps. Microcomputers were obviously a huge influence in the gaming industry as well so a rep for them would be great.

How Would He Play?
Basically with his sword and various spells from the games. This sounds basic but there’s a whole bunch of really unique spells in the game that could make for a very interesting magic character, and since the avatar is the rep for all the ultima games, he could use spells from basically every game. Here’s a list of spells from Ultima IX, which is just some of the interesting moves he could have:

Ultima IX spells - The Codex of Ultima Wisdom, a wiki for Ultima and Ultima Online

wiki.ultimacodex.com

Also I don’t know where to mention it, but there are some really good music from Ultima and some really cool fan remixes of those so I think they would be cool to add into here as well.

 

[GolisoPower]

Hold on, we haven't thought of a name for Lloyd's pack yet, have we?

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Hold on, we haven't thought of a name for Lloyd's pack yet, have we?

I decided to for go it due to a general lack of interest. That being said, I labeled it "Tales of Smash"

 

[Infinity Sorcerer]

Sounds good for me

 

[GolisoPower]

I decided to for go it due to a general lack of interest. That being said, I labeled it "Tales of Smash"

I'll settle on that.

 

[AlteredBeast]

This one will definitely be an out of left-field pick...

Octane (Rocket League) made by Psyonix

Rocket League is a vehicular soccer video game. The game is basically soccer with cars. The game is a super popular title within eSports and the Octane's inclusion in Infinite will boost sales as well as possibly add in pot bonuses from Psyonix in tournaments for Infinite. The car would be hella unique with a moveset based around cars and soccer of course. Overall, a great pick representing modern day PC and cross play games, eSports and sport-esque video games.

 

[Deleted member]

Scorpion

Warner/Netherealm. An iconic fighting game character. The chance to have Tekken, MK, SF and KOF in one game is too epic to ignore. There's the obvious issue of the bloody violence of his home seires, but I honestly think this can be easily worked around.

 

[warpenguin55]

Ahri- League of Legends (Riot Games/Tencent)

Why League of Legends?
Because it's still one of the most popular games in the world! According to Twitch, LoL is the 2nd most popular game being watched at the time of writing. It's also one of the biggest e-sports in the world, if not the biggest. Not to mention, Tencent owns Riot Games and was a major contributor in getting the Switch into China. They also made another MOBA game together, that being Pokemon Unite.

Why Ahri specifically?
Ahri is one of the most popular champions in LoL, and unlike the vast majority of characters in LoL her moveset would translate pretty well into Smash. She's also one of the most promoted champions, being in spin off games like Ruined King, Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and she's even in the LoL KPop band K/DA(yes they have that.). Ahri is extremely recognizable, especially in the east.
