Godzilla: Save The Earth Melee is a Fighting Fan Game being developed by Gojirex
.
Starting its existence as fan remaster and update on Godzilla: Save the Earth, it eventually evolved into a much larger project: an unofficial sequel to the Pipeworks Trilogy combining aspects of all three with new monsters, new stages, and new mechanics.
- Adaptational Badass: Many characters have been powered up over their original incarnations in the games. For example, Destroyah and Mechagodzilla can now fly and Jet Jaguar now has elemental beams and a quick fire disk attack. Some kaiju are now noticably larger.
- Big Damn Heroes: Super Mechagodzilla's reveal trailer has the mecha arrive to save Kiryu from Final Wars Gigan.
- Composite Character: Godzilla 2000 is modified to include aspects of his Godzilla vs. Megaguirus move set, including his infamous belly flop.
- Fragile Speedster: Fire Rodan is small and very fast and nimble, but is in big trouble if actually caught.
- Mecha Expansion Pack: Mechagodzilla 2 is now Super Mechagodzilla, having been given the Garuda.
- Moveset Clone: While avoided with seperate characters, one difference between this and the original Pipeworks Trilogy is monsters will have skins. While Godzilla does have multiple different incarnations with unique move sets, he will also have skins that let him be incarnations not in the game proper.
- Multi-Slot Character: While Godzilla was already spread across multiple characters in the original games (90s and 2000 specifically), there will be more in this game, including Monster'Verse Godzilla, Fire Rodan being a seperate character, and Gigan's two incarnations being seperate characters.
- Now It's My Turn: Super Mechagodzilla's reveal trailer has it get beaten down by multiple kaiju before fighting back with all its weapons.
- Remaster: The game began its existence as one, but eventually evolved into more or less a fan made sequel.
- The Worf Effect: The reveal trailers for Orga and Godzilla 2000 have the former beat the stuffing out of Super Mechagodzilla, Kiryu, and Jet Jaguar, before Godzilla 2000 makes himself known by one shotting Megaguirus and engaging Orga.
- You Will Not Evade Me: Orga's beam can now draw enemies towards him.
