Interest Check: Crossover Fighting RP

Alright, I had an idea for a multi-genre crossover RP inspired by the Fighting Game genre, especially MUGEN and Capcom Versus Whatever.

The story is probably a simple Excuse Plot like many early 90's fighting games, most likely involving a multiverse tournament. Players can be any character from any work within reason, and you can have multiple characters.

Anybody interested? I'd like to have a Co-GM to help me with this as I have never ran a Fighting Game RP before.

Ooh, interest. I know exactly who to play as, too.

Excellent

If I were you, I'd define "within reason" a bit more strictly. Maybe pick an upper bound off the Super Weight page?

Also, potential interest. The ability to have multiple characters is making my mind instantly jump to Pokemon...

The punch is mightier than the sword. Except for when it isn't.

If you could make up your own character to play as I would certainly be interested. Making up a Character Customization for any fighting game has always been something near and dear to my heart, the biggest challenge would be finding the one I would want to use.

Not sure if this may still be on the cards but here is one character I was looking at making up.

Carlita Francesca is a amateur mixed martial artist who is an instructor with the FBI hostage rescue group, learning skills and tactics from the LAPD, army rangers and force recon to pass on to the bureau. As a big fighting fan she seeks to test her skills against the best in the world. Voiced by Rebecca Sanabria.

The real reason for her entering the competition is to take down the tournament's Big Bad. Carlita seeks to assemble a team of like minded individuals and make use of them should she fail.

• Action Girl: Carlita was listed third on a web site of Real Women who could kick your ass harder than Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and that was just her martial arts background.

• Beware the Nice Ones: She is genuinely funny, humorous and a great storyteller, but has over twenty years combat experience in and out of the cage.

• Counter-Attack: A very big proponent of her fighting style is to bait a foe into a strike or grapple before answering with one of her own.

• Determinator: As well as her FBI and MMA training she dedicates herself to performing the tyre life five hundred times daily. She expects who she trains to be able to do fifty in five minutes.

• Guilt Complex: Her son was kidnapped in a bid to force her cooperation. After a failed attempt to locate him Carlita tried to bluff the terrorists who had him to kill him, believing they wouldn't and would keep him alive to make her provide aid. They called her bluff and killed him.

• Improbable Aiming Skills: Once during an arrest a suspect got free and tried to attack the arresting officers. Carlita reacted with a quickdraw and head shot.

• The Laddette: Smokes and drinks heavily.

• Mixed Martial Arts: As well as extensive training in the sport itself Carlita has studied boxing, wrestling, kickboxing, cage fighting, taekwondo and karate.

• Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught: Her submission moves are design to make a foe snap rather than tap, but she works them in a subtle enough way to make it look like her foe struggled against the hold and risked serious injury.

• One Of Us: She reads Spiderman and is a big Tekken fan on the basis one or two of the fighters would do really well in the octagon. She has also studied Angel and The X Files as research on sinister crimes outside the occult.

• Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Carlita is anything but girly, usually seen wearing either MMA style gear or masculine clothing.

• Sergeant Rock: Physically very demanding on who she trains, but mentally drives them to meet her expectations and emotionally A Mother to Her Men.

• Spicy Latina: Hails from Venezula, and one of her quotes harks back to her voice actor.

I got the biggest balls in this whole contest. That's right, I said it.

• Unskilled, but Strong: Certainly not the most trained in any single fighting style, Carlita manages by simply overwhelming who she fights until they cannot defend themselves or slip up and allow an opening for a submission.

• Worthy Opponent: How she treats her opponent in a fight.

• You Can't Fight Fate: Defied.

—>Do I what? She asks if I dare defy fate. Yeah alright, let me show you.

And her signature moves.

• Ultimo Tango (back/down LPRP off a strike): Carlita grips her foe by the head and body before flipping back, slamming them to the ground as she uses the momentum to push off them into a crouching stance. Easy to break out of.

• Aztec Suplex (forward forward LPRP, hit LKRK to follow up with a knee bar): Carlita tackles and pushes her for to the ground, before summoning her strength for a low suplex powerbomb. Very small window of opportunity for a follow up.

• The Works (back back RPLK off a strike to set up the move, then RPRK, then RPLK, then LKRK, then LPRK, then LPLK, then LPRP, before repeating the moves): Carlita initializes this move with a headlock, before snaking down her foe's body to the arm for one of several different arm bars or locks, to the body for one of several different attacks to the midsection, then the leg, then the body again, then the arm, then the head, then the arm again, ect. The window of opportunity decreases with each successive attack. A very skilled player can win the fight with this one move alone, but it takes nearly the entire list of holds and strikes to do so, about twenty in all.

• Takedown (from back, forward/down LPLK): Essentially a sleeper/choke before tossing to the ground.

• Dragon Sleeper (from back, RPRK, down LPRPLK)

• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown (down LPRP, then LPRP to keep the move going): Carlita forces the opponent to the ground and wails on their head repeatedly. Large counter window for initial move.

• Grapple knees (back LKRK, then LKRK to continue the move): Close up tie up knees.

• Venuz-lock (down/forward LPRK): A standing head, arm, leg and body stretch. To use the Venuz-hold instead which is an arm and body ride, hit down/forward RPLK.
