Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

Hard to say...

Annuga hits it right on the money imo as it would still be seen as a knock off, so it could be a problem.

If this does become a thing, it'll be a few years after, don't you think?

Plus it's not like this isn't the first monster fighting game.

 

[Aetheri]

Late...but in Pokken I'm maining Weavile no doubt!!!

Sceptile and Garchomp are likely secondaries....

True, it also could differ depending on the success of this one being made.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well...

Might as well.

You guys think its a danger to our project?

Zootopia is a good movie, well spent money. Surprisingly didn't get as much laughs as expected, but I was really into to the story.

And I got a quick question, spoilers ahead.

Spoiler: Zootopia Spoilers

What was that activity with Nick Wylde's childhood scene. He had umpire-like gear attached to his mouth. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I know its bad and certainly terrifying.

Spoiler

That "umpire-like gear" was a muzzle, as in you put it on an animal like a dog so it doesn't bite.

 

[A Distant Demon]

To be fair we'll probably be seen as a Darkstalkers ripoff first and THEN maybe this. . .

The way i'm writing we might be seen as a Skullgirls ripoff too

jfc of course Anna hits it on the money

Your best bet is SE screwing up imo, but from what I remember you showing, you're going for a different enough style. It all depends on the gameplay and creatures

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Your writing?

***** please, who makes the rough drafts?

Spoiler

We both styled it around Skull Girls.

Skullgirls has an amazing artstyle, so if you could even slightly mimic that, I'd be impressed enough

Art style is currently 3D models but the writing should be something similar in tone and style.

Geez, what timing...

If you're not going to focus on Crit!Odin, then Peri or Beruka would work for Odin, as both give Odin Str and Def. That being said, Beruka would give some additional Skl, Def and Lck for Odin while Peri would give Odin more Str, Spd and Res. If Odin's Spd is doing good, Beruka would work for him. If Odin needs more Spd and Res though, Peri would be good for him.
And no, I'm pretty sure A+ does not give additional bonus like S-rank.

Swordmaster Odin is going to be raining down crits as soon as I get two Killing Edges so I'm gonna be focusing on that
Still gonna go with Peri though, Sorcerer!Odin had a 60% crit rate so I'm not too worried about that

Oh yeah, what about Silas and Kaze? I can't not use those two

 

[wedl!!]

Eh.

That's focusing more on horror icons and a dark vibe. We're focusing on mythology and cryptology and have a much lighter vibe.

You guys think that's still too close?

it looks a lot like Killer Instinct backwash so we're probably good

 

[N3ON]

I would make sure your art style is different enough that the two wouldn't be confused by someone generally unfamiliar with both.

If you're going the 3D route you can do this with different focuses on lighting, shading, and just general design choices, especially with the faces and proportions of your characters.

Also make sure your health bars, timers, select screen and just general UI still looks very different from theirs.

Focusing on whatever gameplay aspects stands your game out from other fighters would also help.

****ing savage.

A Distant Demon

Almost as savage as...

well...

THAT line...

 

[Aetheri]

Holy ****! Finally!!

Edit: Love how Samus actually narrates...VA was pretty decent...

-Kaze gives Skl and Spd and a bit of Res. As a Master Ninja, he can give his S-partner 4 Skl, 6 Spd, 1 Res and 1 Mov. As a Mechanist, he gives his S-partner 2 Str, 4 Skl, 2 Spd, 2 Def and 3 Res. Kaze's main issue is Str and Def, so Beruka and Merchant/MoA!Mozu would be good for him.
-Silas gives mostly Str. As a Cavalier/Paladin, he gives his S-partner 4 Str, 1 Skl, 1 Spd, 3 Def and 2 Res, although Paladin also gives 1 Mov. As a Great Knight, he gives 4 Str, 1 Skl, 1 Spd, 5 Def and 1 Mov. As far as I've seen, his main issue is Res and the only ones who do good at giving Res are Peri, Felicia and Camilla.

Kaze's going with Beruka then
And Silas is hitting that royal booty
Also, is Chapter 9's boss worth capturing? At least to spam Rally Defense if nothing else

Hard Mode, right? Hard Mode Haitaka comes with Rally Defense and Strong Riposte, which increases his damage when he is attacked. If it was Lunatic, he'd also come with Seal Defense, although I think he can still learn it anyhow if he levels up once.
Like other Capture Units, he won't be as good as Main Units.
That being said, he's actually one of the few Capture Bosses that can be decently good if you train him. Besides Seal Defense, Rally Defense and Strong Riposte, he can learn Lancefaire, Rend Heaven, Speed Seal and Quixotic. His stat caps include an additional 1 Str, 2 Skl and 2 Spd with a reduced -2 Lck and -2 Def.
Edit: I also remembered that Captured units can use special class/skill items, like Dread Fighter, Dark Falcon, etc. So he can also get access to skills like Aggressor, Charm, Rally Spectrum, Aether, etc.

Can someone explain me what is that Swamp monster fighting game? I'm kinda clueless and I would like to understand.

Someone who isn't working on it, explain.

I want to see how the public remembers it.

Swamp had an idea for a monster fighting game. A couple characters I remember are a succubus, Medusa, a werewolf, and a cybernetic ostrich.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

cybernetic ostrich.

Yeah. He dead.

Long gone.

We have better joke ideas.




I'd like more detail though.

 

[Z25]

Long gone.

I'd like more detail though.

I guess you could say he was

TERMINATED!


I had to....

And I actually forgot he was on the list originally xD.

To caught up in the other stories.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

That's a shame, oh well. Curious to hear those new ideas.

Unfortunately, that was all I could remember.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Anyone else wanna take a shot?

 

[powerprotoman]

Anyone else wanna take a shot?

all i remember is that i thought it sounded cool
also that it needed a character based off of the urban legends of lizard people in america
(look up the episode of "monsters and mysteries in america" for more detail on the kind im thinking of
episode 2 season three "reptoids")

OH and that mothman would be a character

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Bananija

It'd be a fighting game starring mythological monsters and cryptids from around the world.

 

[Champ Gold]

>Someone is making off with our ideas

I'm gonna blame it on Burruni and A Distant Demon

They are the only ones who can easily sell out to the Man

That seems awesome! ( I read it before Zoroark25 edited)
I would propose the flying spaghetti monster, but since it's a god and not a cryptid, I'll propose manbearpig.

 

[powerprotoman]

you know what ive been too silent on the matter i love cryptozoology and would love to help out in any way i can
(like say if you need some intresting choices for characters to help make a diverse cast)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

flying spaghetti monster,

Mother ******...

you know what ive been too silent on the matter i love cryptozoology and would love to help out in any way i can
(like say if you need some intresting choices for characters to help make a diverse cast)

I shall PM you on a couple of things.

 

[powerprotoman]

very good, i look forward to this

 

[Bananija]

well now
http://www.siliconera.com/2016/03/12/horror-icons-battle-fighting-game-omen-sorrow/
this is intresting seeing as swamp and co are working on something similar

Now that I know what Swamp and co are planning to do, I can say it's not really the same.

One is horror icon, like Dracula, Quasimodo?, werewolf, mummy, Spooky scary skelleton...

The other is cryptid and mythologie, like Dragon, Griffin, chupaccabra, Gargoyle, Unicorn, Ogre ...

If they get creative enough it won't be the same at all.

 

[PushDustIn]

BTW if you guys haven't checked it out @Frostwraith has been writing daily facts on SG's Twitter. Today we published sources for the first 50 of them. Which ones did you not know?

 

[Burruni]

You got some splaining to do guys.

I posted the raw idea on the Skullgirls equivilent of Smashboards like I WAS TOLD BY PEOPLE NOT EXCLUSIVELY BUT INCLUDING YOU and got very little feedback the entire week after doing so.

I lost count, but I think I knew 27 of them....

So just over 50%!

Fun read! thanks Push and @Frostwraith !

"Well, I'm most of the way through the plot on Easy/Casual and just want to relax, let's start experimenting with Supports!"

Spoiler: I don't even know if comments this vague count as spoilers, but. . .

*tries Arthur x Azura C*

HUH. That's more interesting than funny. I should pursue this line further right now to see wha-

*Arthur x Azura B*

. . . oh wow.

I was expecting the comic relief to be comic in these things, not hit me in the feels.

Arthur really is a hero down to the bone, isn't he? He always has been. . .

Heck, here he is, dismissing his own heroism in the A-rank, saying exactly what the more cynical players might be thinking. But Azura assures him he most definitely is a hero.

We must fire the man responsible for this.
