- More ideas:
-
- 1) Fatalities - Well if Capcom decides to do this, I wouldn't make them
- gory like MK. I'd do the exact opposite and make them humorous. So
- when you're beaten you feel stoopid as if you've just been finished
- off by Honda's aerial short - the infamous butt squash. Argh!!!
- Argh!!! Argh!!! Argh!!! Uh anyways, and instead of calling them
- fatalities, call them stupidities. Picture the machine saying "bonus
- for stupidity". That'd be great.
-
- 2) Ideas for new characters:
-
- Rockwell from USA. An MIB. MIB is an acronym for Men In Black.
- They are regarded as "mystery men" who always wear black suits, black
- ties, and dark shades. They are believed to be agents of Illuminati
- (a secret society bent on gaining knowledge and world domination) or
- even aliens from outer space disguised as humans. The most probable
- theory though is that they are government agents sent to different
- places to "cover up" incidents or to "hush" people up. He would
- have a fighting style similar to Guile's. Imagine a guy wearing a
- suit, a tie, and shades with slicked back hair razor kicking Ryu at
- the base of a waterfall. Cool ain't it. Just like Vega's claw,
- you can knock off his shades.
-
- A Masai warrior from the Serengeti. This guy's background would be
- the coolest without a doubt. The sun setting on the timeless
- African svelte with acacia trees far off into the horizon and rocky
- kopje's jutting out here and there. With herds of zebras and
- wildebeasts running around. Not too sure what his martial art would
- look like, probably one that employs low stances (for stealth on the
- plains).
-
- Mac from USA. An obese biker with boots, chains, leather jacket, and
- a scraggly looking beard and a lewd tattoo that says "mother". His
- scene could be a grungy smoke filled tavern. With an all out free for
- all no holds barred anything goes barroom brawl taking place in the
- background. Imagine a guy getting his head rammed in and out of a
- jukebox for 99 seconds, or a guy getting bashed with a poolstick. For
- a real riotous time, have someone get thrown out the front window
- (they could only do this once though). For obvious reasons this
- background would have the most animation.
-
- Pierre from France. Just your average suave and debonair Frenchman
- who specializes in savate (a style that employs lots of kicks). He'd
- wear a red and white horizontally striped shirt and a beret. His scene
- could be in front of one of those artsy boardwalk cafes with the Eiffel
- tower in the background. Plus there'd be hordes of women watching him.
- And yeah, you'd be able to knock off his beret too. The music for this
- background would have to be one of those "I wanna sex you up" saxophone
- solos. Ah, gay Paree.
-
- Hipolyta from the Amazon. The legendary race of warrior women does
- exist. Heh heh. A real buxom brunette with bikini type fur skin
- wrappings. And make her hair real long with that wild, I need to be
- tamed, unkept look. Her scene would be somewhere in the Amazon jungle
- with lots of vines, greenery, and orchids. And have macaques howling
- and panthers growling in the background. I have no ideal what her
- martial art would look like though.
-
- Fu Sheng from China. A Shaolin monk. Obviously his background would
- be a Shaolin temple. It'd be cool if they made him bald too. Just
- watch them old reruns of "Kung Fu" with David Carradine.
-
- Cynthia from Rumania. The dark-haired gypsy look. She doesn't have
- a known martial art per se, but she can be a real spitfire and give
- any man a run for his money. Her background would show the nomadic
- life with horses and carriage homes. With a central campfire and a
- bunch of other gypsies holding musical instruments.
-
- Grog from the Ice Age, discovered in the Arctic tundra. A neanderthal
- trapped in suspended animation in a block of ice discovered by
- scientists during an expedition. Due to the progresses made in
- cryogenics, they are able to revive him. Well o.k., maybe I'm
- starting to get out of hand.
-
- Other possibilities could be hillbilly from Kentucky (similar to
- Zangief), an Indian from the Patagonia, and an Aborigine or
- Crocodile Dundee type from Australia.
-
- 3) Bonus stages before each fight. Someone had already mentioned this,
- I just figure I'd mention it too.
-
- X-Man
