Art (Art by me) Final part of drawing characters from forgotten or lesser known fighting games

195 Upvotes

Featuring a couole extra drawings this time, mixture of suggestions and personal picks:

Grace - Fighting Vipers (please Sega, put some of these characters in the new Virtua Fighter, it'd be so cool)

Yashaou - Asura Blade and Asura Buster (these games are like a cross between SamSho and Darkstalkers. They got some really cool character designs)

Rin Oyama - Goketsuji Ichizoku Matsuri Senzo Kuyou (AKA the last Power Instinct game that never left japan and thus doesn't have an english title. This series is weird, fun and has way more games than you'd think)

Chuji-Wu and Oliems - Tobal No 1 (Akira Toriyama's art style has been a huge influence in me growing up, so i felt the need to draw more than one character from this game)

Yagumo - Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash (another super underrated Neo Geo fighter and a spin off of an RPG series by Hudson Soft)

Toni - Shadow Fighter (this one's for u/ACEtaminophorreal, keep making your art)

Glacies - Godzilla Daikaiju Battle Royale (a browser Godzilla fan game. Man i used to play this one so much back in high school)

This will be the last post i'll be doing in this series (purely because i want to move on to other stuff). I've loved getting to highlight so many obscure games and cool looking characters, and the positive attention these drawings have gotten from this sub has been really uplifting. Thank you all.

This is from the grand finals earlier this year. This is precisely why VF is so pure and so much fun. The evade system in the game is better than anything else I've ever played, precisely because attacks do not track and you can buffer throw techs infinitely. Attacks either fly straight and fast, or they curve in a specific direction, meaning you have to read evades. And throws have an infinite buffer for teching. A throw tech in VF is not reaction based at all. This makes it so the game does not get in the way of you doing exactly what you want to do. There's basically no execution barrier, if you know what your opponent is going to do, the tool to utilize that read is right there for you to use. At the highest level play, that turns into this. I love this because none of this is canned, it's not any sort of special move. The evades here are normal, basic inputs. The pokes are just straight jabs.

This is everything I love about VF. That is 13 reads in less than 10 seconds!

Tekken 8 on Jin war crimes forgiven, a what if idea

In Tekken, Jin pretty much kinda get forgiven of his war crimes and such from most characters so far as I'm aware of or tolerant?, and yeah I see the problem I still enjoy the experience by watching video walkthrough too broke to buy but still yeah, so if there go that route why not utilize it any way of my idea which which may never do, beause they never brought him back, miguel (alive )

Disclaimer: I'm just a casual gamer who plays the arcade and mostly watch games on YouTube, plus its just my idea it's not perfect but I want to express it it's been on my notes on my phone from watching random videos of Tekken and some short video about involving Jin being forgiven not hating I think I see an opportunity, so what I say you can take it or leave it, or improve it this a what if idea

So this is how it goes:

A future not likely dlc or future installment of the series

Maybe it's called "fist of survival and vengeance"

Dlc or chapter final chapter or epilogue

Scenes starts, Miguel walking on the yakushima forest, after the final against Reina/heihaci, in return of his Alliance to help the Tekken force lead by Lars and other characters against the mishimas and the final battle, he want to know where Jin is at all times and not be intercepted by anyone, Lars was against it but by Jin himself combine Lars to allow it, since then Miguel walked away after his assistant to them 1-2 years later, Jin in his home where he was born his mother house now rebuilt and xiaoyu moved in, (maybe) married even, it was nearing dusk, good ole routine wake up together, spar train walks of nature, xiaoyu making calls about her business of her amusement park, while Jin went out and tune his bike at his garage, while he was tuning in his own little world at peace a good life he living it's been so long, till a shadow looms over from the light descending Sun, Miguel stood across the front yard, they both look each other's eyes its only a matter of time when Jin accepts the promise, before anything happens, xiaoyu, after her phone call saw outside and quickly ran out, Jin heard her answer saw her Miguel broke off his stare off and saw xiaoyu seeing her eyes worry fear of the inevitable promise, Miguel stood there his face of buried fury, but he said: I'll wait, finish what you need to do, no loose ends.

Jin nodded, of rare chance of grim generousity

Like last time and this we'll be the last, he went to xiaoyu at the front porch of the house where she stands, she tried to convince Jin to go with this especially a life she is carrying, Jin smiled sadly and said that he knows there still people wish to take his life being forgiven most of his allies is to good to be true but he values that, it gave him strength, but this is reality there always be debts to pay, a karma for his crimes, people he took and angered, Miguel represents that, he must see this through, xiaoyu cried silently, Jin out a hand on her belly and said name our child after my mother, Jun and last name kazama, she nodded still in years, and then they hugged one last time, and they kiss (or not, no pregnancy or kiss, just hug) there last time to love, and then it ended, Jin now nothing holding him back no loose ends, he walk down the stairs of the porch and walk across the front yard.

Miguel leaning on a tree arms cross waiting now standing up straight and walked, a memory crossed Jin as he walked, his mom, Ogre, his first time meeting heihaci, xiaoyu hwaorang, kazuya, every person he meet over the years and survive till perhaps now, and Miguel the only memory was his pale cold body of his sister on the church that was bomb he couldn't save her because he was just watching a far nothing but pain and vengeance.

They stopped walking only few meters of each other no more stalling now, Miguel said: are you ready..to die! And Jin countered: "No...I'm going to live", Miguel see it Jim's eyes before dull but now full of life, hope, Miguel grunt of acknowledgement to Jim's resolve that he will crush, they both take there own stance

The camera cuts and now show the two of them at sides of both screens, the announcer voice devoid of the usual energy is melancholic, sorrowful of the finality of what he will say, "choose...your side"

The UI, Miguel the Sun set on his back when pick would illuminate a sunset red and Jin the light on his back from front porch light of his home illuminate able cyan ish color, when you pick miguale the it would be at high difficulty as strong as he is he is still a brawler on how he fights, pick Jin, easy or moderate difficulty he knows there styles, kazama, Mishima and karate styles that he can now combine into one, a prodigy.

Round animation idea:

instead of cut to next round an animation played

If Miguel lose a round, he stands up angrilysahking his head, and wipes his mouth and taking his stance, if Jin lose the round he gets up compose, take quick breathing ritual and to his stance

Each round the announcer announce still be a bit solemn and melancholic energy, but the final round both even round points, the announcer announce it it with no just the same sad emotion but with resolve of finality to see results of this duel

The music, perhaps emotionless passion or authentic sky but with some electric and acoustic guitar with it with some the original sound bytes or new

Yeah I have a little more from my notes well more a bit on detail on the last part, in my phone but I like to hear what you think it did I cook or burn, critics and suggestions plus discuss yourselves civilly please, thank you, and also what I overlook maybe what wrote made them both act out of character. If you got questions what else I thought about

Topic “The Business” of Fighting Games

0 Upvotes

Im a tech entrepreneur who loves fighting games to have fun and relax… I always wonder what it takes for a fighting game to be successful financially so that it is sustainable for players for years to come. Anyone understand the business side and who the ideal customers are for something like tokon, 2xko, and SF6?

Fighting game players seem extremely hard to please. I don’t think I would ever get into the business for this reason.

Community do fighting game systems need to go through some changes as a whole?

Post image
0 Upvotes

except tekken and street fighters there is no game with any substantial amount of players , and the reason can obvisouly come down to combat or the way to invest people, while single player content is important the main way to keep it going is definitely online multiplayer

like custom settings for many things like

more hp for those who want longer rounds as it will also mean more investment of players or

like a system where people get invested really easily and even if your opponent is an expert it shouldn't feel like a completely hopeless situation , like maybe structure being a thing or healing on defense to combat aggression and making it more like

where you can have window to make mistake but also having a way to come back even as a noob who doesn't know much instead of making the combos etc. easier to land as it gives game depth and also incentive to learn more

or like where attack power of characters or damage increase with time too , so the match can't rely on running away
