Xbox Legends ClimaX: The Xbox Series X/S's 'Ultimate' Smash (Nominating Final Fighter)

[nirvanafan]

Will give one more day for our current jobs since there may have been some confusion for a bit.

Want to check in though for feedback on how the thread is being run. Can speak from experience that it can be frustrating to be working on a nominee to only get ninjad or have the thread move on before you finish & know darkvortex just ran into that situation. Should i slow the thread down a little, have less categories at once for stage & assist jobs, or do you have any other ideas or things you want to see?

Doesnt need to be from 2011 but added a list so we know what may be getting a push around the timeframe.

My nominees

1st Party - Forza Driver

Has a stage but is a big series for Xbox that will also get a big spinoff soon. Kind of out there but can see it working using different car parts for attacks.

3rd Party - Faith Conners

HM to Commander Shepherd, wanted to go with one of the ea studios (bioware & dice) who had Microsoft published games in the past. Even though Mass Effect had a more recent entry I figured wed go with a brand new nominee instead.

 

[Qwerty UIOP]

1st Party Nominee: The Gunstringer

3rd Party Nominee: Stubbs the Zombie

BioShock Stage: Rapture

 

[darkvortex]

Inphyy

The main character of the 2006 hack and slash game Ninety-Nine Nights. A Temple Knight with a vicious streak. She is a swordswoman of unparalleled skill, and can also use her wings to fly around. Her special gameplay gimmick is "Orb Attack" / "Orb Spark" . Attacking enemies with Inphyy brings out red orbs, collecting these orbs allowed you to fill up a meter. Once the bar is full, a player may press B to enter "Orb Attack" mode, where the character can use more powerful attacks for a brief moment. Once this is over, they can can unleash a super-devastating, screen-clearing "Orb Spark" attack.

Inphyy's game just got a sequel in 2010 so while she's not the protagonist of that game, I think she makes sense to include as a promotional character.

Frank West
Dead Rising was a pretty big exclusive title for the Xbox and we don't have a Capcom rep yet. it is another horror character so soon after Big Daddy but I think that's okay since they they are so different in so many ways. He would have an extremely fun moveset with all his weapon combos and wacky things he can pull out. He could have a crafting gimmick. Dead Rising just got a sequel in 2010, which was multi platform and didn't star Frank West but I still think it's a series that's well known for its Xbox ties.

Pacific City
From the game Crackdown. Fight in a city that is being destroyed as you fight. Buildings will fall apart and break and helicopters will crash into the stage. It's a pretty crazy stage and would be designed more for fun play than competitive.

Rapture is the perfect pick so I won't submit there. BTW Vooodo Vince and Blue Dragon's stages are missing from the front post.

Wont submit a Bioshock or Crackdown stage as Rapture & Pacific are the obvious choices in my opinion so they both get in by default.

Pretty much the lats big push for fabel we will see with multiple spinoffs in 2012 after the release of III the year prior.

3rd Party - Beat (Jet Set Radio)

Considered but missed out on our 1st entry & had decent presense in both Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing game plus JSR got an HD release in 2012.

Job 37 - Nominate a stage for our final 4 dlc series. Can submit for as many of the series as you want. Below is a reminder of the the 4 series we need a stage for.

Gunstringer
Dead Rising
Alan Wake
Jet Set Radio

 

[Qwerty UIOP]

Jet Set Radio Stage: 99th Street

 

[Northsouthmap]

Dead Rising Stage: Willamette Parkview Mall
Alan Wake Stage: Cauldron Lake Lodge
Jet Set Radio Stage: Shibuya-Cho Terminal

 

[nirvanafan]

My Nominees

Old West Theatre

Not familiar with the game, according to wikipedia it takes place at an old west theatre & is split into 4 areas (desert, bayou, valley, wasteland/underworld) which i guess can be traveled between. This stage will be used by default as no other nominees were submitted.

Wont compete with Willamette Parkview Mall, is the perfect rep for the series.

Biltmore Logging Camps

Havent played Alan Wake but does seem to have several interesting locations stage wise. Thought this could be an interesting stage & occurs relatively early in the game so most people probably at least saw it. Perhaps also could have a section at Stucky's Gas Station which was another consideration.

Garage

The hub of the JSR games. Good area to see & practice series mechanics & have stage cameos.

Vote for your top 2 JSR & Alan Wake stages, most votes for each gets added.

1 Cauldron Lake Lodge (Northsouthmap)
2 Biltmore Logging Camps (myself)

1 99th Street (Qwerty UIOP)
2 Shibuya-Cho Terminal (Northsouthmap)
HM Garage (myself)

I may be a little busier than usual after the weekend with the upcoming holidays for the next couple weeks so i may be a little less consistent here but will hopefully still be able update at least a couple times a week.

DLC Line-Up

Was gonna do one of these for our assists but I couldn't get it to look right due to the number we have (speaking of I was thinking it might be cool if our six dlc franchises got assists but that's up to op)

Thanks again for another roster image, will add to op shortly.

I agree assists would be cool for our dlc. Anyone else have any thoughts? Thought about saving it for when these series are in the base game for a future entry but now that i think about it more why not take care of it now?

That may work. Either way works for me

 

[nirvanafan]

Darkvortex & I both had the same top votes so Cauldron Lake Lodge & 99th Street will be our final stages for the 360.

Have elected to include DLC assists now as well as suggested by darkvortex.

Job 38 - Nominate an assist for each of our 1st Party new series (see below).

Crackdown
Gunstinger
Alan Wake

Will submit my nominees later.

 

[nirvanafan]

Here are my nominees, job will be open until tomorrow.

Crackdown - Dr. Baltazar Czernenko

Creator of the Freaks mob which appeared in Crackdown & served a bigger role in Crackdown 2. Could maybe use elements from them &/or the general evil dr. archetype.

Gunstringer - Oil Barron

The 1st antagonist of Gunstringer, not much else to say, thought an oil businessman could be an interesting, unique assist.

Alan Wake - Danny (Image)
Couldnt find a good image outside fandom that doesnt work on smashboards. Is a Taken which seems to be a big part of Alan Wake & has sledgehammer to attack with which made him stand out for me while looking into characters from the 1st game.

 

[darkvortex]

Wavy Tube Man
A boss from the Gunstringer, who got his own spin off dlc. He'll fail about and get in the way of the fight

Zuang Lun Wang
A gang leader from Crackdown. He will appear and start attacking with his guns.

Raven Swarm
a common occurrence in Alan Wake. They swarm a fighter and peck

[darkvortex]

Little Sister
Will run around the stage and jab fighters with her syringe.

Adam the Clown
Will attack with his chainsaw

Gum

Will skate around and attack with her spray, tagging fighters (I think she would be a cool echo if Best comes back next game but this works for now)

 

[darkvortex]

Spoiler: My Nominees

Brent Slappy Ernst

Wanted to go with a psychopath from DR2 which had been released the previous year & liked this idea.

Jack (art by Nyru180)

Since Big Daddy is our fighter though the 1st games protag would make sense as an assist.

Hayashi (think is concept)

Wanted to go with an antagonist & thought one of the police captains would work better than Goji Rokkaku. Went with JSRF character due to closer Xbox ties even though JSR is about to get a re-release.

And with that we have completely the full life lifecycle of Xbox Legends 360 & will move on to Xbox Legends XL (Xbox One).

Job 40 - Nominate any video game character to join the roster. Like usual there is a below list of Xbox games between our last 2 entries so we have an idea of whats new & might get a push.

My Nominee
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)

Sony & Nintendo both passed on a good opportunity for a very iconic character to join PSABR & Smash 4 (base game is out). Plus Microsoft is about to publish & have limited time exclusivity for the anticipated sequel in the rebooted Tomb Raider series.
