Working on SF Duo and seeing this project, I had a crazy idea: would it be possible to make a mugen full game with controllable helpers?

Everything would be coded into one character. The select screen and everything in between would take place in roundstate 2. I've been experimenting with player type helpers a lot lately, and I believe it's possible to make a system with 3 (or more) playable characters. The player would actually be a "control center" of sorts, and the helpers would do all the action. when all of the helpers die, the player dies with it. Player type helpers can read negative states, can be put into custom states and have their own health. With some workarounds, I'm gonna try and make a 3 player tag system template. It wouldn't be hard to convert the current build of SF Duo to this system, but this is gonna be a side project from that, and I want to use chars with small movesets. Maybe sprites from snes Justice League Task Force to start. My only concerns for this would be limitations on the state files, cmd changestates and sff. I wouldn't expect something like mvc2 to be produced, but with 15-20 chars, I think it's possible. I'll post updates when I make progress. It's ambitious, but I think it can be done. Thoughts?

You can make controllable helpers, but it be difficult to pull off. My idea is just to switch animations to other characters in my project. But it sounds like you want to add helpers to play as. Yea it's possible, as long as you know what you are doing. ;)

I want to say there is at least one JOJO character that can do this, but I'm uncertain which one.

That's the idea - ALL of the players are controllable helpers. The goal is to get the helpers to interact with each other (via the root), and that'd be the most challenging part.
