The Mugen Fighters Guild - Alex Kidd Plus - VS style + Games References + Original

Hello everybody, I want to share part of my plans with Alex and want to get some ideas as well.

Alex Kidd items.

This char will have all the items of all the games. At least the more relevant items.

I decided to group items into 3 sections:

Attack Items

Items he can use more than once.
Some examples: Bracelet Attack, Dash Attack, etc.

Tool Items

Items he just use once, then it disappears.
Some examples: invencible cape, capsule A, etc.

Super Items

Items that make Super attacks. One time item as well.
Some examples: Sukopako motorcycle, Pedicopter, etc.

-------------------

So, I need help with ideas. Alex Kidd will have so many items that I have a "quantity problem".

I thought on 3 options about how to deal with it:

1) Smash Bros Hero mode

To make appear a little menu above the char (or near the portrait or screen bottom) where we see all the items list and choose it to use. More or lass like Hero from Smash Bros. Can be a random list or can appear the complete list. Sky is the limit.

NOTE: 1 problem I see with this is: Different from Smash where you can go far from the enemies to have time to breath and choose wapons, in a 2D direct fight like Mugen we will no have time enough.

2) Separated Items + Random Choice

This is how it is today (while I'm creating all the attacks - easer way to test everything).

There are 3 commands to choose items:

QCB + A = choose attack item (random item choice - but do not repeat the last one)
QCB + B = choose tool item (random item choice - but do not repeat the last one)
QCB + C = choose super item (random item choice - but do not repeat the last one)

To execute Attack items: QCF + X / Y / Z
To execute Tool items: QCB + X / Y / Z
To execute Super items: QCF + XY / XZ / YZ

NOTE: At the moment I can repeat the tool items. But it is not fair the possibilitty to repeat tool items like "Invencible Cape". So I need to do something about it. At least to Force a new QCB + B to choose a new tool item again.

3) Dynamic Items

This is a mix of the "Option 2" with "get random items during the fight".

This is would be more like the Classic games. It is more difficult to create but i'm thinking on do this to happen.

The Items blocks and tresure chests can appear during the fight. When breaking the blocks/chests random items is going to appear and he need to touch it to get, like Megaman MvsC.

The stages will not move, because it is a Mugen direct fight not a level progress stage, so I can't make the blocks/chests to be already there (waiting for been destroyed). To sort this problem I have some options iike:

- Alex hits the floor and comes up some blocks and/or chests.
- Just appear like magic into a random place of the stage some blocks/chests
- Assists like Stella can just appear and drop a block/chest.
- A block/chest can fall from the sky
- He can have an attack that he removes from a invisible pocket (like old cartoons) a block to hit it over the enemy - when does that he gets a random item
- ???? need more ideas if you like this option 3 ????

-------------

These are some ideas I have to him. I need to decide dome stuffs and any kind of brainstorm is appreciated.

Thanks
