The Final Decision for the Rooster in CvR

[battlesphere]

Hello folks, Andrew here.

Now I bet that most of you have seen my Capcom vs Reality character selection many times. And from the amount of times you've seen it, you knottiest that there have been many character changes. But from the amount of times you've seen these changes, I bet you all are wanting to say "Andrew, make up your mind!" Well it's not officially my fault. I mean the main reason why I do these changes is because I'm the only one who's making sprites so far. So if I'm gonna want to do this as fast as possible, I can do the easy characters (Which is why I took out Titan the Robot). If I had some extra help from other sprite editors, I could do this quicker. But I have no one else giving me assistance in the sprite sheet section. I'm getting help from other things, but not sprite sheets.

Anyway, here's the character selection you've all been waiting for. And I hope it will be my last.

I haven't found rivals for the rest yet and the bosses/secret characters don't get one.

New things that some of the old characters will get:

-Ryu's Shinkuu Hadoken will be replaced with the one from Marvel vs Capcom 2
-Ryu will have the Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku from Marvel vs Capcom 2

Ken (Street Fighter III: Third Strike):
-Ken will have his roll move from Street Fighter Alpha (Known as the Zenpou Tenshin)
-Ken's Shinryu-Ken and Shippu-Jinrai-Kyaku will be replaced with the ones from Marvel vs Capcom 2

-Chun-Li will have the Shichisei Senkuu Kyaku from Marvel vs Capcom

-(I'm not sure if I'm gonna do this or not) Guile will have some of Charlie's special and super moves
-Guile will be colored differently

Sagat (Street Fighter Alpha 3):
-Sagat will have a finisher
-Sagat will be colored differently

M. Bison (Marvel vs Capcom 2):
-M. Bison will have helpers (Balrog, Vega, and the Shadaloo Dolls (Except for Cammy))
-M. Bison will have electric attacks like his Street Fighter: The Movie counterpart
-M. Bison will have a finisher
-M. Bison will be colored differently

Akuma (Street Fighter III: Third Strike):

-Akuma's Shun-Goku-Satsu will be replaced with the one from Street Fighter IV
-Akuma will have a finisher

Morrigan (Vampire Saviour):
-Morrigan will have all her special moves and super moves from both Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Vampire Saviour
-Morrigan will have a helper (Lilith)

Sasquatch (Vampire Saviour):
-Sasquatch will have a finisher

Mega Man (Marvel vs Capcom 2):
-Mega Man's abilities will be more similar to the abilities he had in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters
-Mega Man will have helpers (Rush, Beat, Eddie, Roll, Proto Man, Ice Man, Cut Man, Fire Man, Elec Man, Bomb Man, and Guts Man)
-Mega Man will not have Hyper Mega Man and/or Beat Plane. They will be replaced with new super arts.
-Mega Man has a weapon selection before he starts a round (His weapon selection goes from MM1-MM9)
-Mega Man will be colored differently

Zero (SVC Chaos):
-Zero will have additional weapons from his Mega Man Zero games that he didn't get in SVC Chaos (Such as the Chain Rod, the Recoil Rod, and the Zero Knuckle)
-Zero has an EX Skill selection before he starts a round (His EX Skill selection goes from MMZ2-MMZ4)
-Zero will be colored differently

Well that's just about all I could tell ya so far.

When we are discussing the roster, with these type of games (it's actually quite unique), if you want to do them well, there are three things to focus on.

The first point is spend looking at each side on its own. Having a strong cast on each side on its own means it will still be very enjoyable even if you do not care that much for the other side. So if you ignore one of the sides, does the remaining cast still stand their ground.

The second point is spend is creating great interaction and somewhat of a diversity balance between the casts.

The third point is spend creating a mutual goal, for example united arch enemies or an event that makes the whole interaction worth fighting for from the characters perspective.

Congratulations! It looks really solid.

I agree with the thread headline......


There should be a " rooster " in this game ...

[Tenspeed]

maybe these topics should all be merged instead of overfilling general discussion?

I've been toying with the idea myself but haven't acted. Here we go.
