I've been rewatching the Bowser's Fury trailer. It's certainly very open, but it feels a bit more... abstract. Like, in 64, Sunshine, and Odyssey you explore pretty fleshed out worlds especially in the latter two. Obviously they all have random obstacles/levels for the sake of platforming, but often you jump on buildings or something that matches the level theme. Bowser's Fury feels like if they took a Galaxy level or one of the smaller Odyssey areas and extended it out to an entire world. I mean, we're on some weird collection of islands. Not that that's a good or bad thing, just something I noticed.

An idea I've seen thrown around is the game may be like Majora's Mask. It could be that Bowser is slowly turning into his "fury" form and you're supposed to complete as much as possible before that. When he's finally complete and actively attacking you, it'd make completing other stuff a lot harder. I kind of doubt this idea, but it'd be really cool and imo add a lot of replay value. Only one more month until it comes out I suppose.

Edit: Oh, also these cats might be the other characters that have been transformed

elevator pitch: Pokemon Masters but it's a traditional Fighting Game. When you pick a Trainer you get their whole team, three "Fighter" Pokemon and three "support" Pokemon. Using fan favorite Cynthia as an example, you pick her and you can tag between her Garchomp, Lucario, and Roserade and summon her Spiritomb, Gastrodon, and Milotic for support. But obviously, you can make your own avatar with it's own Pokemon Teams composed of every mon on the roster, which is how you progress through Story Mode.

Which trainers and teams would you want in the game?

Youngster Joey, three Rattata.

you gotta have joke characters.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Oh right, I meant to ask you something about this. You mentioned you want to have the series logos for Touhou, Xenoblade X and LoL included but those aren't Smash franchises, so you got a link to them? If not I'll have to see what I'll do about that one. Also where's that Reimu from? I'm admittedly a bit out of the loop with the modern doujin games.

I’ll get some logos after work

That’s just Pokken tournament with extra steps

except this time it's like an Arc Sys fighter and not.... whatever Pokken Tournament is.

I’ve played a few traditional fighter games and Pokken Tournament feels pretty similar to em. Well, the 3d arena ones like OP:Burning Blood anyway. It’s just missing a few staple things iirc(haven’t touched it in awhile)

Arena fighting games are not... great. I want something 2D

Bowser’s Fury lookin good boys.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Maruki is by default one of the greatest adult protagonists in the placement of an antagonist of all time...ok sure he’s technically strictly an antagonist despite every single thing he does is such a heroic thing...but that don’t mean **** when it comes to him cause he is absolutely perfect. Put the man in everything as of right now. Who needs the rest of the Phantom Thieves outside of Ren, Mona, Makoto, Akechi-Kun, and Sumire when we got Maruki

Oh Snake don’t get me hooked on this idea, I’m already cooking ideas for a Smash style Pokémon fighter as is.

Also this is basically King of Fighters Pokémon edition which is actually a brilliant idea

 

[Deleted member]

Braum is on the job!

 

[Deleted member]

Ah Pokken Tournament, I used to main Braixen and Sceptile in that game. Too bad it got old fast for me, I really wanted to love it, but the damage scaling in this game felt quite absurd and the whole 2d-3d change didn't really do it for me either.

I'd love a proper fighting game though, like a more refined Type Wild.

For once I actually agree with you

Worst games I've ever played, especially on pc where the FPS is capped to 30

We can talk about it here, get more input on it

And tekken its 3d (sorta) but not really a Arena Fighter

Alright. SO I think it starts with picking trainers. If we assume a 60 character post-DLC roster, with each trainer getting 3 fighter pokemon, that's 20 Trainers to pick. Off the top of my head I immediatley think of Red, Cynthia, and Mustard.

N and Steven too.

We’ll make sure to list their Pokémon first

Since you got Cynthia down (though I’d replace Gastrodon with Togekiss), I’d say for those ones:

Red-Pikachu, Charizard and either Espeon, Blastoise or Machamp

Steven-Aggron, Metagross and either Skarmory or Aerodactyl

N-Zoroark, Darmanitan, and maybe Carracosta?

Mustard-Urshifu, Mienshao and Kommo-o
