Unofficial Story Mode Discussion Topic

AH RIGHT

I vote for Personality Clash

it makes no difference what you would vote for there, we aren't obliged to use any of these anyway.

Instead of voting on specific schemes just let people suggest whatever they want. You don't even need to organize anything in the OP, we'd just skim through the thread.

Ok, forget the vote then. The OP has been updated, new list of things to discuss here:
- Story
- World combinations
- Boss battles (world bosses and sub-bosses)
- Enemies
- Collectibles


Drop ideas for any of those at any time.

Phantom for Final Boss, That's all I ask.

Golden Sun boss: Saturos&Menardi
Final Fantasy boss: Gilgamesh

Bosses
Pokemon: Ghetsis or Cyrus, Kyrem or Darkrai
Dragon Ball: Frieza, Perfect Cell, or Broly
Kirby: Galactia Knight, Knightmare, Dark Mind, or Drawcia
Sonic: Perfect Chaos, Time Eater, or Metal Overlord
Street Fighter: Akuma, M.Bison, or Seth

MAKE A ORIGINAL FINAL BOSS

We aren't going to have bosses for every series repped.

That shouldn't mean we can't suggest bosses for all of them. Unless of course the devs want to confirm exactly which series won't get bosses.

overdone

good point.

Mario X Kid Icarus?

Mario X Rayman

Zelda X Ristar

bomberman vs robot series

Castlevania boss: Carmilla
The only truly unique boss Simon ever faces himself, the other choices being fairly generic such as "Mummy" and "Giant Bat".

I like the idea of the Ace Attorney boss being Dahlia.
Especially her in a ghost-like form because of her uh, current state in the game canon. SO considering that Mortal Kombat mostly takes place in hell, Dahlia being the boss for that area makes sense.

Story Mode: World Ideas

20 Worlds:
Mario/Yoshi/Kirby
Punch-Out!!/Donkey Kong
Zelda/Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy
Metroid/Pikmin
Star Fox/F-Zero/Mach Rider
Pokémon/Sin and Punishment
Mother/Dragon Ball
Ice Climber/Balloon Fight/Duck Hunt
Game & Watch/Pac Man
Wario/Bomberman
Kid Icarus/Golden Sun
Metal Gear/Contra
Sonic/Ristar
Street Fighter/Mortal Kom-bat/Tekken
Crash Bandicoot/Banjo-Kazooie
Rayman/Klonoa
Castlevania/Assassin's Creed
Final Fight/Ace Attorney
Mega Man/Robot
Smash Bros.

Why these Matchups?

Mario/Yoshi/Kirby - Mario and Yoshi are pretty much same universe, and Kirby is a platformer with a very similar demeanor (very Kid-friendly)

Punch-Out!!/Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong was a guest in Punch-Out!! Wii, and both main characters of their franchises are known for being smart and strong

Zelda/FE/FF - A medieval themed genre that all three use, fantasy, and sword wielders make up the major casts of these three universes 

Metroid/Pikmin - in both franchises the hero travels to a different planet to save something or someone 

Star Fox/F-Zero/Mach Rider - 
F-Zero and Mach Rider are similar series, and all three franchises are set in the future/space. Most of the gameplay involved in all three is vehicle use

Pokémon/Sin and Punishment - the only two left over after pairing the others up

Mother/Dragon Ball - both center around hidden power, energy, and magic 

Ice Climber/Balloon Fight/Duck Hunt - All Classic NES games that were enjoyable, Balloon Fight music on Ice Climber stages in Brawl and Melee.

Game & Watch/Pac Man - Both VERY old franchises 

Wario/Bomberman - there was a game called Wario Blast! Featuring Bomberman that was a crossover between both series, as well as bombs being used in the WarioWare series

Kid Icarus/Golden Sun - another set of fantasy franchises that center around magic and hidden power

Metal Gear/Contra - both Gun toting games made by Konami and travel all over the world is central

Sonic/Ristar - Both SEGA series with similar genre of platforming as well as the first level of each of the original games look very similar

SF/MK/Tekken - All 3 are 2D fighting games with multiple installments on Nintendo systems

Crash/Banjo-Kazooie - both have types of wacky animals as Their protagonists

Rayman/Klonoa - both center around dreams, the Glade of Dreams is Rayman's home, and Klonoa must save the dream universe

Castlevania/Assassin's Creed - both set in semi-medieval times and focus on the killing of something or someone (Ezio is an assassin, and Simon must kill Dracula)

Final Fight/Ace Attorney - Both Capcom series that appeared in one or more versions of MvC3. Both are set in present day and in cities

Mega Man/Robot - both use robots. That's it.

Smash Bros should have each level a pair of two series without playable reps:
- Cave Story/Earthworm Jim
- Kingdom Hearts/Dragon Quest
- Spyro/Animal Crossing
- Ghouls 'N' Ghosts/Tetris
- Super Monkey Ball/Excitebike
- Nazo no Murasame-jo/Ninja Gaiden
 

awful

creativity should take precedence over baseless and predictable pattern whoring

Mario x Metal Gear
Zelda x Banjo Kazooie
Mother x Metroid
Fire Emblem x Yoshi's Island
Sin and Punishmet x Golden Sun
Bomberman x Castlevania

And lest we forget the previously mentioned Ace Attorney x Mortal Kombat.

I love those combos, but I think what we were going for is relating games that aren't very similar at all in order to inspire creativity and make awesome otherwise-impossible crossovers.

Wait, what about my Metal Gear/Fire Emblem idea?

yeah I guess this is a more polite way of saying what I was trying to convey

I personally think we should add some diversity with these world combinations. In other words, I'd think it would be better if we made the crossovers more random, making it a little more interesting, along with the player wondering what's next. Also, having each crossover world making the player play as the heroes of that realm, and minibosses- (fighting against playable characters who are villains or have been cursed/brainwashed/hypnotized since the main villain messed things up) of that realm as well. Here could be some possible examples:
Mario X Metroid: (Play as Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, or Samus. Fight against Wario, Waluigi, Petey Piranna, and Ridley. Also fight against an evil Geno, but once defeated/saved, can play as him.)
Zelda X Sonic: (Play as Link and the Sonic people. Fight against Ganondorf, defeat/save an evil Shadow.)
Pokemon X Street Fighter: (Play as Pichu, Ryu, and Chun-Li. Fight against Evil Ryu and Mewtwo, defeat/save an evil Pikachu and an evil Lucario.)
These are just ideas/suggestions. The main product is up to you guys.
Also, if you guys decide to have a final subspace-like world, that is where all the characters meet up and you can play as all(or most, focusing on the heroes) characters. If so, you could also possibly rematch some of the villain playable characters, and after beating them a second time, they join you.

Metal Gear x Mach Rider

Driving down the streets, riding on enemy cars from Mach Rider as a Metal Gear chases you, with Psycho Mantis on top of it. He laughs as he can pluck oil barrels from the sides into the air and launch them at you, with enemy cars spinning out and flying through the air for you to dodge, all while the Mach Rider music is playing.

Not the game mode topic. I like the idea though.

You're right. I have no idea why I posted it in this thread.
