I'm curious as to which characters and franchises should we expect next in this. It seems to be generally about older fighting games, but like... how far would be too far for this game, for example?
As far as visuals for the characters are concerned, the game Karate Champ would be too far back and Street Fighter Alpha would be too far forward. So games like Fatal Fury 1 - 3 would be fine, but Real Bout Fatal Fury and beyond wouldn't be. I do however use power effects from the newer versions of the characters and apply it to older ones to visually amp up the attacks.
So, would you say Darkstalkers could be in? The first game came out before SFA and RBFF, that would be interesting to see in your style. This is not me messing with you, but for real, I love the gameplay, I'm just waiting for some of my favourite chars from this period to show up. Also, any thoughts on Mortal Kombat chars?
I think visually Darkstalkers fits better with Street Fighter Alpha and Real Bout Fatal Fury styled sprites more than they fit with the older looking characters in my game. I love Darkstalkers and Mortal Kombat as well but unfortunately thier not going to be in the game.
That's a shame, Darkstalkers is a classic game that deserves some love and I'd personally love to see Mortal Kombat chars reimagined in your gamplay style. I understand the concern about the art style, but with people joking about how Morrigan uses the same sprites she had in her first game all the way to CvS2 and MvC2 (in which she looked old even compared to the Alpha sprites), I think characters like her would be fine (also, Superman and SF1 Ryu have very distinct art styles too), so I hope you change your mind. Regardless, I am enjoying your game and looking forward to more chars, I already made two playthroughs:
Thanks for your enthusiasm. Your right Superman doesn't belong and that's why he's DLC. A Darkstalker could show up as DLC or really anyone could show up as DLC. So there is hope.
What about replacing the Superman sprites with the ones from Justice League Task Force? Either the SNES or Genesis ones.Would like to see some representation from more obscure fighters like Fight Fever, but you probably sticking with more known ones right?

The sprites being a fair bit more jarring to see than early KoF (94/95 I assume) in this game doesn’t help though. So I assume there won’t be early Marvel, GG1, or KI rep either. I feel like DS/GG1/Orochi Saga could be devamped (with a bit more extensive job than the smartpal early KoF needs for example) to fit in but it’s your call.

I think power levels really don't factor in, since in MvC even Dan can win agaisnt characters such as Magneto or Shuma-Gorath.

I don't think anyone ever cared about this factor in the characters' base games, let alone in a crossover.
