/vr/ - Retro Games

I myself would make a canadian woman who uses kicks to lumberjack trees and of course has hockey pads.

Chloe

A canadian girl living in a rural area who was able to channel her energy trough hockey attacks in order to do a job as a lumberjack on a factory to be able to get money, but one day she realized she could use her abilities as a fighter.

Alcoholic Japanese salaryman

Is this a stand in for that thread about underrepresented nationalities in fightains?

give me a rekka with branching options, damaging command grab, one obnoxiously good poking normal and if it isn't too much to ask a decent reversal/antiair
can't think of a nationality that's interesting or makes sense, probably because my character is already a total mary sue just from their moveset

>>3555351
Little, but very angry dead girl. Suffers from Mileena-ish shark mouth, but has almost regular teeth, only marginally sharper than a regular human.

Fights with two chakram-like weapons with handles on the inner side. Outer side has several blades that can rotate like on circular chainsaw (this thing is called "Rip-Razor"). Rip-razors are bound together with a string, which allows for limited ranged attacks and retrieval.

Combat balance: Wide swipes of Razors that leave her open for a brief moment after an attack if she misses, but deal 2-4 hits if connects and staggers opponent, pushing him back (she has to pursue her opponent in that moment of stagger to continue combo, stagger gets shorter the more she hits, eliminating the possibliity of infinite looper). Special attacks involve savage leaps and slashes, and several mid-ranged attacks with stringed Rip-Razors with limited area denial options.

A tumblr landwhale with a purple sidecut and the bull nose . She would have the most disgusting farting and burping attacks.

I don't know why, but I'd pay to see a Mormon character beating up others in the most polite and respectable fashion.

>>3555473
this guy knows his stuff

>>3555357
You made the girl of my dreams into a fighting character. I am okay with this and can't come up with anything better.

So I'll add her Newfie uncle, a old salty out of work cod fisherman who's fueled by Moosehead beer and rage at tariffs.

He fights drunken style, throws fish as a projectile and has a "fishing" reel in attack like Scorpion.

Voiced by Steve Smith.

>>3555351
A big black guy with a huge BBC. He uses his BBC for special attacks and possibly certain kicks, and his grapple - or at least his behind grapple - is him grabbing the enemy from behind and fucking them in the butt.

As for nationality, I'd probably say he'd be basketball american and represent the USA. Could also be a Somali Muslim refugee and represent Sweden though.

>>3555351
I actually have been tinkering with this idea for a long time. Not only make one character, but a whole fighting game. I know, it's an uncurable form of autism.

The character would simply be a collection of my favorite moves from vidya. The fighting style would be replicating the movement of ocean waves in some sense. A lot of basic normals from Yun (like that elbow strike), "sweep" punch from Dudley, maybe close knee/axe elbow from Ken/Shingo respectively.

For specials/command normals, I definitely want to have an OTG attack like Takuma's command normal from '98, an axe kick, a T.Hawk command grab—slam face down on the floor (with that OTG follow-up).

As for appearance, I have two designs… One is kinda lame, it's an old donut steel OC, a restrained but angry male character in cargo pants and loose jumper, with a big heap a of long black hair covering his face and top of the body, kinda based on the grunge look from the 2000s. Second is white-haired guy in a biker jacket, having dual personalities because of being posessed by a demon. So, twisted psycho path, yeah.

The system would be 2D, but Tekken-like, with no little to no jumping/hopping, slightly reminiscent of Art of Fighting 3. I'd also add parry-like feature, but with no timestop/stun when you parry at all. The idea is based on the games plot gimmick, "black energy", by channeling through any matter you make it harder than steel by binding molecules at place. An opposite to that, "white energy", turns any matter into plazma-like explosive substance.

I could never decide if it was a terminal DeviantArt-tier shit or not.

>>3556241
So much condensed butthurt.

>>3556252
Thinking you could make a worthwhile fighting game on your own isn't autism it's full on retardation.

>>3556252
>I could never decide if it was a terminal DeviantArt-tier shit or not.

Sometimes you're the last one to realize.

>>3556256
How do you figure?

Is this your first day on /vr or something?

>>3556260
I used to draw animation myself. I figured I could put up shabbily drawn moveset on my own and shove it into Mugen.

>>3555351
In SFII it would piss me off when sometimes you'd jump in with a kick, but your opponent would kick and for some reason their kick got precedence.

I'd like a fighting game that made more physical considerations. Like, in the above scenario, my move would obviously be more damaging - I'd have gravity on my side.

>>3556339
>when sometimes you'd jump in with a kick, but your opponent would kick and for some reason their kick got precedence
> sometimes
More like, every fucking time.

SFII AI notoriously reads you inputs. When you press up, it also jumps and simply kicks ahead of you with a faster/better priority attack.

So, you simply don't jump against AI. Yes, it's that fucked up.

>>3556339
>more people using jump attacks
Just what fighters need

>>3556339
What i would like A LOT, is that when you do an attack like Blanka's cannonball, and use the stronger one, THE ENEMY DOES NOT BRAKE IT WITH A WEAK PUNCH.

OR WHEN ME AND THE CPU HIT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME, THE CPU DOES A BUTTLOAD OF DAMAGE EVEN WHEN USING A WEAK ATTACK, WHILE YOU DO ALMOST NOTHING!?

>>3556374
Git gud. Blanka is shit and his attacks are shit and you have shit taste if you use him in ST.

> OR WHEN ME AND THE CPU HIT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME, THE CPU DOES A BUTTLOAD OF DAMAGE EVEN WHEN USING A WEAK ATTACK, WHILE YOU DO ALMOST NOTHING!?
What is hitbox/hurtbox

I wouldnt cause i dont wanna deal with feminists and snowflakes.

Not retro, more dated, but in Mortal Kombat Armageddon you can make your own fighter and add moves.

>>3555351
Iranian swordswoman.
Member of the Revolutionary Guard.
Hot-blooded, tomboyish personality.
Wears a military uniform with Iranian flag hijab.
Charge-based character like Guile or Chun Li.

>>3555351
A Russian character that's not a wrestler/a mutant/a blonde chick/a bear.

>>3557292
Lanky bald guy wearing a tracksuit, then?

An orphan with a robo-arm
She has a command move that lets her switch between a grappling hand that gives her long normals for mid screen opponents, an arm cannon to zone opponents out, and a blade for close range options.

They'll be inferior to other characters that specialize in those fields, but it's best for many situations

>>3557292

>>3555473
Isn't that like Yang + branching options on his rekka

>>3556217
you gave me an idea

>>3557490
Or Karin with an anti air.

Russian slav man who has squats of power and can take a swig or a puff for a modifier.
Homeless man who uses a trash lid for a shield and a broken bottle as a weapon (my favorite idea)
A skeleton who can throw certain pieces of his body, gaining slightly different attack qualities for the new form it puts him in until he picks it back up and goes to normal.
A tiny robot that resides in a humans brain and makes them in a robot stance.

let me be your ideas guy

I wish the fighting game market was like it used to be. Remember when developers took chances and just made games that sounded like a cool idea? Theres only like the mainstay fighting game series now and they hardly differ from the same games we've always been getting. I understand it, but I want some more good quality but seemingly out-of-nowhere FGs. I wish skullgirls wasnt so painfully mocked because it probably scared indie devs from trying to make their own fighting game.

>>3557537
Waifufags and tumblr weebs ruined Skullgirls. Which is a shame because the game is the closest we've got to a new Darkstalkers game.

>>3557537
Times change. Back then, it was a matter of eating quarters and looking cool. Think about how many Mortal Kombat clones there are.

Skullgirls was made out of a love of Marvel 2 and the genre in general. I bet if it weren't for Injustice and Melee, it would've been more recognized.

But alas, sprites aren't easy, and fighting games aren't the market they used to be. They never talk about them in the news.

I remember when we got crazy looking but unique characters with ganes like, DANKUGA. ETERNAL CHAMPIONS CD & WORLD HEROES, those were bitchin.

Now everyone tries to imitate baze blue and KOF

Hey, can this be a drawthread aswell?

>>3557549
>>3557541
Yeah it disappoints me, man.
I just really love fighting games and want to see more. It sucks when you can only go back in time to play the weird offshoot games and most of them feel like clones of eachother.

>>3557558
People have used all the cool gimmicks, now you have to take the game design into heavy consideration.

>>3555351

I'd make a butthole character called 'Cheeky Bastard', two floating buttcheeks with fartball attack (like fireball), he can shit himself which would give the enemy selfinflicting damage for the next attack, fling poops that stay at the ground which detonate like grenades and his ulti would be the 'dark vortex', he sucks you into his asshole and shits a crap version of yourself back out.

>his nemesis would be the Cold-handed Proctologist

>>3556339
You're getting anti-air'd. That's normal.

Anti-airs shouldn't lose to jumpins. Otherwise, people would just get on your ass all day and that would be boring as well as retarded.

>>3555351
One thing for sure is that I wouldn't make hitboxes as shitty as they are in Alpha 3.

>that tinyass shoryu hitbox

I had this idea for a team based fighting game kinda like KoF a 3v3 format I have a couple teams in mind but the one I came up with first is kinda like this

First guy: He is a stance character who uses three small movesets based on a transformation type Gimmick normal state (Default stance) is balanced uses a few nifty combos has a projectile and forward rush attack (Think Burn knuckle) he is kinda a Ryu,

Stance 2 is a speed and power type it takes extra damage but can deal serious damage and darts around the arena plays like Jon Talbain from dark stalkers but lacks a projectile.

Stance 3 has better defense but is slow and uses charge moves has 3 projectiles a weak but fast one a chargeable one and a low attack one all three have cool down.

His supers would be based on the stance in use Stance 1 is a rush down combo if it hits and isn't blocked it can deal high damage if it is blocked it will quickly fill the stun guage, Stance 2 uses a guard breaking heavy damage move but it had a slow wind up and can be interrupted, Stance 3 uses a charged up super projectile more or less a Denjin Hadoken

>>3557758
Character 2 in the team is a female fighter hits heavy and has a relevantly small combo pool almost all of them having heavy knockback however if you perform certain inputs right she has some killer counter moves and reversals this character is all about controlling speed and flow in the fight with kinda like Geese Howard with stuff like the Rashomon

Her specials would be a Chain throw that has multiple inputs for maximum damage, a combo rush type move (weak blockable but safe), and lastly a reversal type special when used right perfectly reverses the attack for max damage and a stun if failed it would leave the player open

>>3557760
Character 3 in the team is a second female fighter whos main focus is on striking a middle ground between fighter 1 (all technique options and execution) and fighter 2 (Power but with nifty if difficult offense based defenses) as such her moveset is the more rounded Projectile forward attack heavy punch type she can use short combos that can lead into other combos however the easier the chin the weaker the individual move.

Her supers are a rush down move that you can expand via added inputs but requires perfect timing, a heavy charge projectile, and lastly a two hit palm strike into one inch punch move that stuns enemies but does small damage

>>3557764
The team themselves would be three friends who are more or less looking for a fight

Fighter 1: Is the team leader (mostly cause he was the one that scored them the chance to be apart of the fighting) He is natually weak and talent-less but makes up via training and a vicious opportunistic style he is a bit of a drama queen his personality could be compared to a siberian husky his connections that get them into the fighting has to do with his role as a detective as it happens he has a case to solve with a side goal of enjoy the fights.

Character2: is the teams muscle and a street brawler however she has a good sense for combat and is a talented fighter do to never having access to proper training she is unrefined and fights with force her personality is much like a German Shepard in that she is nice until provoked and exceeding loyal to her "bros" she just wants to beat people up.

Fighter 3: Is the biggest of the 3 however she is the balance well trained rather talented but she prefers the use of the fundamentals and simple but effective moves she is more quiet then her compatriots he job is a scientist but like her friends she is a fighter by nature and might be even more violent then her friends she is comparable to a Dire-wolf huge dangerous when provoked but mostly keeps to herself and her group she wants her partners to acknowledge her as a fighter.

>>3556339

A foundationless attack which has its power come from diminished momentum, with only bodyweight and gravity to follow through

vs

A kick delivered from a solid foundation which follows through with all its power

Think about it dude. I did Muay Thai for 16 years, I'd rather take 10 jumping Van Damme roundhouses than a muay thai front kick. Conveniently this also makes for superior gameplay too.

>>3557541
>>3557549
>>3557558
just play skullgirls dudes, the community is small but it's not ded gaem status like you'd expect. it's still getting patches, which is insane to think about
i wonder what the timeline in which skullgirls beats melee looks like. would it have a good showing? would it attract marvel players and become the true spiritual successor it was meant to be? would it interest other anime players as well? does it get another year? i think melee would have ended up at evo the year after anyway, since that community has the kind of autism that gets shit done. then we still end up with the bad ending of 3 nintendo games at evo 2016

>>3557798
I just want to see SC come back to evo

>>3556273

The best fighting game character already exists.

Senator for Eternal Champions Sega CD.

Throws red tape to stun.
Uses telekinesis to steal money.
Dons patriotic apparel to become temporarily invincible.
Throws bans at opponent to prevent them from using special moves.

Bumper

>>3557939
I tried this game a few weeks ago and it was better than I expected, it kinda sucks that there still isn't a convenient Fightcade-style option to play games from a wider range of systems online with good netcode

RA already has good netcode but fails the convenience part, Mednafen has most of the convenience but poor netcode, emulators that use Kaillera are complete jokes on the netcode front (I know there wasn't a big push for rollback when Kaillera was created and it was designed to be generic but it's really long in the tooth now)

America

Literally make it this thing.

>>3558162
His stage could be a school and his special attack could be pulling out a gun and shooting everyone lmao.

Former Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson.

>>3558251
His stage is his cuckshed and his specials involve inviting immigrants to rape his opponent.

>>3559280
Nah, that's more Reinfeldt's thing.

People dont take this threads serously.

>>3557798
>just play skullgirls dudes

Listen to this guy. It doesn't matter if it's not the most popular game or if it gets ignored at EVO. Injustice is my jam these days and it wasn't even that popular before MKX came out. But even still there are enough people playing that matches are easy to find. And most people who are still at it after all this time are pretty good too. If Skullgirls is the kind of game you want to play then just go for it.

The reason there are less indie fighters compared to other genres is that the nature of them being competitive makes it extremely hard to make one good enough that it's worth playing. Even the big developers with whole teams working on balance and loads of playtesters. It's really hard to make a fighter that's interesting and varied while still being balanced enough to be worth playing.

Good lord what exactly?

I went to school with a half Japanese half Korean who was amazing at fighters but had a bit of a speech impediment on top of his accent so he could be hard to understand.

"Iori" and "Yuri" in particular sounded very similar so it often sounded like he said "oroshi Yuri" which we all got such a kick out of that I drew it. Always wished since we could get a riot of the blood Yuri.

Ancient Mayan warrior, but none of that white-washed shit. I want an actual brown short man with obsidian weapons and shit.
Have him summon Quetzalcoatl for his Super or something.

The thumbnail of this made me think of a kappa, which would be a perfect fighting game character. Unfortunately the only one I know of is from that pos Star Gladiator.

>>3557781
Mhm, all the power in a strike is built from the ground up. I also did muay thai, though not for very long (about a year), but that's something the khru really impressed on me.

I love his goofy voice.
He's also in Shogun Warriors as "Kappa".

I always think of a fighting game roster composed of characters from forgotten/unknown fightans. Like mugen, but made from ground up with consistent gameplay, even changing the controls of some characters to fit.
The roster would be large and the characters would be grouped by their archetypes, like "beast man", "robot", "wrestler", "Ryu clone", "military man", "caveman", "animal", "frak", somewhat like in the "Fight-A-Base", and each member of each group would represent one kind of gameplay, like charging motion, half circle, Zangief-like grappler...

The gameplay would be something like SF 3, but with teams like KOF.

>>3564864
I could get behind that. Sort of a Capcom vs SNK vs Namco vs Netherealms vs etc.

>>3566253
No Capcom, only obscure chars, like from Super Fighter, Time Slaughter, Battle Beast, Expect No Mercy, Brudal Baddle, Time Warriors, Body Blows, One Must Fall, Theatre of Pain, Zulula, Pray for Death, Bloodstorm, Blood Warrior, Savage Warriors, Abalaburn, The Outfoxies, Dark Edge...
The most known games would be forgotten games like Karnov's Revenge, World Heroes and Toshinden.

bump

>>3567225
Ehh I get where you're going with it, but a bunch of broken shitty fighters all together in one game doesn't sound like a ton of fun. I have no love for those games. But a game of all bottom tiers from games in a big mash up could be neat.

>>3568416
Anon, some really bad games had interesting designs, like Battle Beast. Of course, some crap like Brudal Baddle does not feature any good design, but Pray for Death had fuckin Chulhu.
And forgotten ones like World Heroes had tons of good designs like Mudman and Rasputin.
Some had funny ones, like Fight Fever with Golrio.
Some could be expanded, like the generic monsters of Zulula and Battle Monsters.

>>3555351
I would make an Indiana Jones styled character, and his one ability is a one-shot kill.

>>3555351

>khaki shirt and shorts
>one of those outback hats

I'm a simple and uncreative man. I just want the basic stereotype. I can't believe in almost 30 years of fightan games there are so few Aussie reps: one's a kangaroo, one's a part cyborg psychotic, and one's a black wrestler who listens to reggae. Just make him a Paul Hogan clone and that's good enough, but let's just have at least one.

Capcom still missed out big-time by not getting King Cobra into the final game.

A barefoot tomboy beach girl wearing a black bikini made completely of leather (see pic), and ripped, worn out jeans and possibly fingerless leather gloves to complete the 80's throwback aesthetic. Total blonde QT wearing a ponytail.

>>3569725

>>3569729

Bear Hugger or bust.
