As for Sakura's Rage, you mean "Shin Shou-o-ken"? I am making a Sakura build, for my game, with her using it. I have a video of her against Mario using it against him, though the video was made months ago.

Thanks for your ideas guys keep them coming!

Love the rolento idea

I'm glad he did change his mind because those lifebars on the video look like a clusterfuck of epic proportions...not to mention they are fucking ugly. They actually look like someone pasted the original old lores winmugen default lifebars over mugen luffy's MKvsSF ones. They destroy the overall look of the game. If you like them, then I'm sorry but you must have very poor taste in design if you do.

ƒıЯ£-ŁØřĐ, I want to congratulate you on the recent status of the beta. Your newer lifebars impressed me the most. They look awesome and just breathe new life into the MKvsSF universe.

Don't make the Daigo vs Justin spoof video ones, seriously...they look like an Alien flying saucer from Las Vegas with beeps and lights is hovering over the fight. Might as well call the game "MKvsSF: High Stakes Casino Edition" if you are going to use those.

The idea for this was to be the less serious counterpart to the main MK vs SF game project, and thus would not have the same technical gameplay. The roster would be a lot smaller - about eight characters a side, possibly expanded via DLC later on.

PRESENTATION

Amazingly, I did come up with a story for this game, out of sheer boredom. This could be completely thrown out of the window, considering this is meant to be the Marvel to the actual MKvsSF's more serious tone, but the casino theme is what forms the majority of the presentation of the game. Here's a basic summary, dredged up from the old design document I found on my laptop.

"In a pocket dimension between the various universes, there exists the Golden Touch, a five-star hotel and resort famed for its gigantic casino. Famous people from all corners come to relax and enjoy the nightlife, not to mention win (and lose) lots of cash on the slot machines and at the poker and blackjack tables, but as of late the number of visitors has been dropping. In order to combat this, the mysterious, unseen manager Nathan Lambton announces that the hotel will play host to a fighting tournament between two great realms. The winner will be crowned “Richest in the World” and receive a titanic cash prize."

The overall theme of the screenpack would be a sort of cross between Las Vegas and the cheery, colorful Marvel games of the 90's. The select screen would be themed on a poker table, with the character portraits represented by playing cards and select icons resembling poker chips. Each one of the stages would be based on a location of the Golden Touch and would be shared between characters - Ryu and Sub-Zero, for instance, would have a stage themed on the private greenhouse, whilst Sagat and Kano would have a stage in the bar area.



The image above is an example of the style the character sprites would be rendered in. I am fully aware that this is basically the same method Human used to create his King of Pocket characters, but I felt that this style would suit the overall silly and over-the-top tone of the game the best. I can easily contribute by converting MOTM sprites of the required SF characters into this style, and I believe there may be some sprites for Sagat in the style somewhere. The MK characters would most likely be done from scratch and have more varied appearances - Sub-Zero would uses his UMK3/Deadly Alliance design, for example, to show that this is the younger version of the character. Nathan Lambton would also have to be designed from scratch.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay would be mostly a sort of Marvel-Lite set-up, with air combos and basic chains. I'm unsure wherever to make it 3-Button, or have a fourth button for the launcher a la MvC3/some other function. The power bar would be four-sectioned, and would served to provide EX Moves and Kombo Breakers. Each of the MK characters would have their movesets tailored to the Capcom-styled gameplay - Raiden's signature Superman attack would be a charge move, for example. I have also been thinking about retaining some of the MK9 command strings, in the same way that the Tekken cast of SFxTK carried some of theirs over from their games.

The main draw of the game would be the trio of Super Bars at the bottom of the screen. In a similar manner to Super Gem Fighter, striking an opponent causes colored poker chips to fly out of them. Collecting these fills those bars, and the meter gained can be used to pull off the character's three Super Arts. The bars can be filled up to three levels, and the higher the level, the more spectacular/damaging/unique the super is. Care would have to be taken to ensure that this factor of the game is balanced - the longer a combo goes on, for example, the less the number of chips would be rewarded.

OTHER NOTES

• Voices would be taken from the latest iterations of the games - Street Fighter 4/MvC3 and MK9. Nathan Lambton would need original voice acting.
• I am aware that a Darkstalkers/Injustice-styled round system could be possible in a full-game environment, so I could aim for including that instead of traditional rounds.
• I have also considered an announcer system that reacts with different lines to different situations. For example, different lines could be spoken for when the first hit is recorded, much like in SF4.
• Do not ask me if such-and-such a character is getting in. The roster is pretty much finalized, with some exceptions, and there are certain characters that I personally do not care for and would not put in for love nor money.

in trf level3 used both bars.

• Unless you've already decided on the eight character, how does a Judo practicioner sound? I haven't really seen a decent Judo rep in fighting games, unless you count Paul Phoenix - and his style was technically MMA/Kajukenbo/whatever. The character could specialize in counters and reversals, turning opponent's attacks against them, and with the right techniques wouldn't require much in the way of extra sprites or custom states for other characters.
• For the bars - The two Level 1 supers could be mapped to the Offense bar, whilst the Level 3 super could draw from the Defense Bar. I can see how this would be too similar to SF4's Ultra Combos, and indeed SHADE's Desperation Moves, but it would give you something for the full-meter Defensive option. Failing that, would some kind of SFA3/CvS custom combo option work?

Y'all a bunch of pantsies, talking about what he DOESN'T have. There's a shitload of awesome stuff he DOES have right there, talk about that instead, you nilly willy nitpickers

Komodo, how well are you for coding?

I don't know if this game will ever 'be made', but your top priority should be John Cena because he is the champ and he is here.

I just looked him up, and whilst he may involve a lot of custom spritework, I would definitely consider him. The trouble would be finding a good rival for him on the World side. Any ideas?

Uhmm... Ky Kiske from GG is a lightning swordmaster Maybe him could work.

I always wanted to see Brocken v/s Dictator, but It's a bit common to include the Dictator, right?

@Steel Komodo: I see you've altered a bit by adding to the roster Haohmaru and Athena Something quite original for the game would be add characters that doesn't make appearances on other crossovers games. This is difficult mainly because the sprites, but that's a problem of The World side too, so I guess that you have some kind of solution for that.

Maybe Setsuna from LB? From my point of view, he is very popular and well received by the fans.

i'll tell you right now that if you want to lighten the sprite workload you should use cvs sprites because they would blend in better with your "the world" cast

Just because all of these chars make appearances in KoF games, doesn't mean that's all of there original game series. SNK vs The World is fine. However, this in itself seems sorta redundant. Since the World side from Sean's game actually features SNK chars. Along with it being the World, it could have anyone there. Though, you trying to make your own spin on it is cool.

u should rename it.
kof vs the world
u have no snk chars in there
besides kof chars and the alien dude

• 4 Attack Buttons - 2 Punch and 2 Kick, like any KoF game.
• Back Dash, Run and Tactical Hop.
• Throws done with LP + LK, for ease of use. I know it's traditionally done with 2P/2K in SNK games, but I can never get used to that after playing so many Capcom games.
• Power Charge on HP + HK.
• Supers and EX Supers a la KoF XIII/Infinite's characters.
• Desperation Super - akin to Rage moves from BC's SFA4 characters or SF4's Ultras. Would probably require a second gauge?
• Universal Defensive Manoeuvre - the equivalent of the Unique Tactic of CvtW. Labelled as S button, this allows the following defensive mechanics:
   - Standing S: CvS Dodge
   - Forward/Backward S: Evasive Roll
   - Whilst being attacked: Blowback Counter/Combo Breaker
  Could possibly run on the hypothetical second gauge.
