So awhile ago, a game for the PSP came out called Sunday X Magazine. It took manga characters from the popular Shounen Sunday(The World God Only Knows, Ranma 1/2, Case Closed and more) and Shounen Magazine(Fairy Tail, Great Teacher Onizuka, Hajime no Ippo and more) and made them fight each other in a one on one format using assists. Overall, it was alright, but was very, very flawed and the roster was lack luster.I had always wanted to see this game be remade by someone like Capcom, instead of making it 1 on 1 with lame assists, it would instead by 2 on 2 with assists similar to MvC1. You would choose your two main fighters as well as one assist. The 2 main fighters have access to 3 attacks(A B C style like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), 1 launcher button(possible to remove), 1 assists button and 1 tag out button. Battles would go on until both main fighters on a team are knocked out. The assist has 3 different attacks, one offensive, one defensive, and one unique which one you do depends on the motion you press along with assist(Forward+Assist,Down+Assist, Neutral assist,). Along with that, they are also able to do their own supers, however they would cost more than one bar(possibly making the assist have it's own power bar or just making it use 2 regular bars). To some this sounds broken, however to limit this, the assists would have their own life bar. This means it is possible to knock out someone's assist character and make them unusable for the rest of the match so there is some strategy of when to use the assist.Anyways, concerning the roster, I personally discussed it with many people, and this is a roster they pretty much all agreed on:This isn't really how the character select would look, but here's the list of fighters(left to right):MagazinePlayable:Joe from Ashita no JoeJoe from Cyborg 009Akira/Devilman from Devilman (Note: He would be kind of like Phoenix from Marvel where he has low health and defense, but once he's knocked out with maximum bars, he is brought back as Devilman, however he has half health but improved defense and attack.)Kotaro from Kotaro Makaritoru!Tiger Mask from Tiger MaskBats from Bats & TerryEikichi Onizuka from Shounan Junai GumiDoctor K from Doctor KKyoshirou from Samurai Deeper KyoMechazawa from Cromartie High SchoolNegi Spring Field from Mahou Sensei Negima!Jack Raka from Mahou Sensei Negima!Kamen Rider from Kamen RiderBan Mido from Get Backers!Kitarou from Gegege no KitarouGama from Gamaran8 Man from 8 ManNatsu from Fairy TailErza from Fairy TailMinami from Air GearIppo from Hajime no IppoAssists:Hyuma Hoshi from Star of the GiantsKeitaro from Love HinaZetsubou-sensei from Sayanora Zetsubou-senseiKindaichi from Kindaichi Case filesYazawa from ChameleonTeru from Godhand TeruAsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima!Ginji Amano from Get Backers!Kurokawa Yuki from GE Good EndingZero from Gambling Emperor ZeroFinal Boss:Ryo/Satan from Devilman(Note: The boss battle is two parts long, first part you beat Ryo, second part you have to fight satan to win the game.)SundayPlayable:Noboru from Blazing Transfer StudentGenki from Ganbare Genki!Kongou from Kongou BanchouSarutobi from Sasuga no Sarutobi/The Academy of NinjasR from Kyuukyoku Choujin RMitsuhashi from Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!KID Kaito from Magic KaitoEnma-kun from Dororon Enma-kunKamen Rider Black from Kamen Rider BlackKaoru from Zettai Karen ChildrenMikami from Ghost Sweeper MikamiLum from Urusei YatsuraRanma from Ranma 1/2Inuyasha from InuyashaTora from Ushio to ToraUshio from Ushio to ToraUeki from Law of UekiKenichi from History's Strongest Disciple KenichiMiu from History's Strongest Disciple KenichiGash from Konjiki no Gash Bell!!Masaru from Karakuri CircusAssists:Itou from Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!Conan from Case ClosedThe Wonder 3 from Wonder 3(all 3 are one character/assist)Iyami from Osomatsu-kunKagome from InuyashaIsamu from BuyudenTadashi and Saya from Onidere(Both count as one character/assist)Sousuke from King GolfKeima from The World God Only KnowsSaijou Mikoto from Saijou no MeiiFinal Boss:Hyoubu Kyousuke from Zettai Karen Children(Just like Ryo/Satan, he too needs to be defeated twice before beating the game.)Anyways, this is an idea I've had a long time, and I have tried to make it before, my friend who is an artist drew some art of Mitsuhashi that could potentially be used in the game(Spoiled because the image is huge):Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltySo I was like, ok, let me try tracing it into a sprite! However I quickly found out I suck at it and I ended up with this:Pretty terrible, I know, however, I do have an artist for this project, so all I would need is someone who can trace it into sprites. Speaking of the sprites, the idea was to try and make the characters look how they do in their mangas, but not too different from anyone else. The stages would probably be land marks from each manga, or weird stuff like the cover of the magazine or for example a bookshelf. Music would probably be to give each character a theme song, which I was planning on finding out if the manga a character is from had an anime, take the opening theme from said anime and remix it to fit into the game or just do a cover of it, however it works. For voices, I planned on going to japanese sites like nico nico douga and looking for japanese voice actors to do the voice work and possible also finding english voice actors so there can be an english and japanese voice for every characters. Gameplay for the game, like I said, would be very similar to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. There would be launchers, air combos, assist calling , snap backs, bursts/mega crashes, baroque(using up half a meter to activate instead of using up red health), and more.Anyways, this is just my idea for now, and I'd appreciate any feedback or help to maybe, one day, make it a possibility. I'd need a spriter/tracer, someone willing to remix the music, and plenty of others I'm probably forgetting. Thanks again and I appreciate any responses to this thread.
