Borghi's wip

[Borghi]

hello!
I wasn't going to make a wip of my next char but I'm forced to do it because I'm really lacking some motivation. So, it would be cool to hear some ideas fom the community to refresh my brain. I won't be releasing this char alone. Im releasing him within the fullgame I'm making which I hope will be my next release. I'm rushing that because I'm getting more and more busy with other stuff and I want to have the game done before is too late to having time for it.

But this wip is about this char and not the game.




So, as you see, the guy likes torture. He tortures the opponent and sometimes even himself in the process. that would be the main concept. As a detail he is sometimes a guy and sometimes a girl (Pot's must hate me, I explained that to him like 1700 times) but I have no sprites of that yet. He turn into a girl (looks like a femenine version of him) to make some attacks. he has no transition for that. its like a POOF! and she's there. So, its not a guy that transforms into a girl, its just sometimes one, sometimes the other. No defined genre.

any ideas?

That sounds fucking awesome. I'm a fan already.

So what's its fighting style? does it use weapons?

[Borghi]

thanks!
well, i still dont know about weapons, but could be interesting. I was thinking about a chain with a hook but the problem of that is the obvious reference to hellraiser and the fact that animating a chain is like being in hell with pinhead putting melted iron in your balls.

about the fighting style, i was thinking on some wild movements. something like orochi iori who is always excited and seems to have no control on his movements. and he always smiles and laughs even when he is dead.

[videoman]

I guess his style is torture-masochist (it's into S&M) and it gets stronger if you attack it kind of like samurai showdown! 

[Borghi]

oh, but that would make him a bosslike guy

[DemonicDrPhil]

maybe a temporary attack boost hyper or special that gives more strength based on how much damage was taken off?

it could last for 5 or 10 seconds and then have him vulnerable for a bit after it is finished so that it is more balanced.

[OrochiWeapon2000]

Since it seems to enjoy causing damage to itself, it could just cause more damage to the opponent with it's moves. One idea I can toss your way is to have various attacks that make the opponent bleed constantly, which would drain the opponent's life points for a short time. Implementing a type of counter system would be another idea, as moves that would make the opponent bleed normally would make them bleed even more as a counter attack.

uhm sounds weird. But the thing i that a bleeding system looks like something all the chars in a full game should have and not just 1. like in the latest mk games

[Bastard Mami]

i will re-read some koroshiya ichi - ichi the killer, since one of the main characters is a masochistic, same for a guy on naruto. about the naruto guy, he has techniques in which he damages himself, and the oponent also ges teh same damage in the process, as if the guy's body acts as a voodoo doll of the oponent.

[Cybaster]

I already like this character.

For his throw, I'd see a Blanka type move where he would bite his opponent very hard.
He could indeed cut himself with a knife to gain more power during a certain amount of time.
A super move like Peketo's fatality, but with much more torture would be a nice idea too (yeah, chains are a bitch to do, but...)

[i_oVo_i]

Vlad.. Vampire-ish name, why not making a move where he can gain life by draining the opponents, that'll be cool for a bosslike char.
Like the concept btw.

[Iced]

"cracks knuckles"

Psychotic Hammer down, shoving nails on his chest he pounds the nails into himself with a hammer, at each trust his back with the nails popping shoves into the direction of the opponent.

psycho stare, his eyes shine red for a moment, there is a blink and in a moment he is no longer there( the shining eyes remaining) and his female form is behind the opponent ready to do a followup.

-The Iron Maiden, from female form he can follow up into this move where he encapsulates the opponent into a ironmaiden, acting like a short range throw
-Bloody laughter-from female form whilst laughing he/she shoves a metal spike onto his stomach, spraying blood outwards as a projectile.

-Human bondage -throw where he twists his own body, breaking his bones as he ties the opponent down and constricts them for damage.

-Blood puppet, strings of blood, emanating from his wounded back lash out into the top of the stage, coming down onto the opponent and holding them onto place.

Bondage freak-Ties himself down onto the ground and jumps towards the opponent ,with several spikes on his body acting as the attack.

Wait, You want sexual overtones to him, or only violence overtones?

Psst, Try this for a intro, he on a military outfit with a fetishistic gas mask on his face... General Pain!

[Makkah]

This character looks pretty interesting. Here's some ideas I came up with:

You could make him break his arm, and use the exposed bone to stab his opponent.

He could light himself on fire, and charge towards his enemy while holding a bottle of gasoline. When he gets close he breaks the bottle, and ka-blewy!

The female form could break her knee, and twirl around like a ballerina, repeatedly slashing the enemy.

[Phinsfan]

Looks kind of like a Demonic Admiral Ackbar.

[Jango]

I'd suggest more craziness with his mouth (like biting people), use of syringes for activating supers, and lots and lots of twisting his body around in uncomfortable positions ala Zappa.

[Cybaster]

Voldo from Soul Calibur may be a good reference too, concerning body distorsion and SM stuff.

[The Zorc]

WoW, look very good, i like your chars

[Rote Zaungast]

You could make him break his arm, and use the exposed bone to stab his opponent.

I was just going to say that...
he holds one of his arms with the other arm, breaks his arm against his tibia, then impales his opponent with the broken bone which is still part of his arm...after he deals with the opponent, he performs a ritual which heals/gives him his arm back


another move:

stabs himself in the abdomen(stabbing the stomach in the process), then takes his stomach out, and squeezes it, squirting a stream of gastric juices/acid
an option, is that after the opponent is hit , after few seconds you can set him on fire...like Jagi in HNK



more to come, because now I can't

[Cybaster]

Also, taking the heart directly into the body of the opponent (à la Rasetsumaru from Samurai Shodown) could be a nice finish move or Lv2 super.

[Borghi]

well, there are some nice ideas here.

the self-voodoo-doll is an interesting concept. Ill think about that. could be interesting.

Vlad.. Vampire-ish name, why not making a move where he can gain life by draining the opponents, that'll be cool for a bosslike char.
Like the concept btw.

well, the name Vlad is a provisional one. Actually he needs a rumanian name but didnt find a good one yet. Although Vladimir sounds good (not too original but it's interesting). mmm.... I suppose it's a russian name but, i don't really know.

ICED!
well, I was really thinking in an iron maiden. In fact, my best option was an "iron virgin" another torture stuff which I don't really know if actually exists but I read about it in a book and looks pretty freaky. It's an automat human-size doll made of metal representing a nude girl. it you touch a jewel in her neck she hugs you and her metal breasts open popping out knives that kill you. THAT IS SURELY WEIRD but i didnt find the way of turning it into an efective attack.

-Bloody laughter-from female form whilst laughing he/she shoves a metal spike onto his stomach, spraying blood outwards as a projectile.

Noroko has a blood projectile already

-Human bondage -throw where he twists his own body, breaking his bones as he ties the opponent down and constricts them for damage.

-Blood puppet, strings of blood, emanating from his wounded back lash out into the top of the stage, coming down onto the opponent and holding them onto place.

Bondage freak-Ties himself down onto the ground and jumps towards the opponent ,with several spikes on his body acting as the attack.

interesting. he will have a throw where, as a she, hugs the opponent and lies into a bed nail nailing both of them. and she laughs.

Wait, You want sexual overtones to him, or only violence overtones?

Open mind!!! 
well she will have a kinda sexual move but I don't know, I just don't want to tell you alllll the things the char will have or won't be any surprises. 

Psst, Try this for a intro, he on a military outfit with a fetishistic gas mask on his face... General Pain!

mmm.. Letme think about it.....

I really like the last one. In fact, his female form doesnt use a skirt like the guy but a ballerina dress.

I'd suggest more craziness with his mouth (like biting people), use of syringes for activating supers, and lots and lots of twisting his body around in uncomfortable positions ala Zappa.

unconfortable positions! can't have enough of them 
Peketo already has syringes although I should make him use them more.

WoW, look very good, i like your chars

mmm too complex.

doesnt look like torture.. Its more like a zombie attack, haha

an option, is that after the opponent is hit , after few seconds you can set him on fire...like Jagi in HNK

the opponent on fire or my char?

Also, taking the heart directly into the body of the opponent (à la Rasetsumaru from Samurai Shodown) could be a nice finish move or Lv2 super.

i dont understand...

I have this move but can't find a practical use for it: wanna make him throw a projectile that just spins around my char, like a satellite and if the opponent gets closer he gets hit by the proj. but i dont know what he could use for that. And I also must find the way of making it not too cheap. maybe could be used for DF...
