Nickelodeon Fighting Game?

Well, I think it should be health bars, because the percentage thing is Nintendo's gig. If the game goes the Mascot Fighter route, adding percentages would change the game from Smash Bros-inspired to Smash Bros clone.

Now who wants to hear my ideas for the SpongeBob characters? They're designed with the Marvel Vs Capcom style in mind though, so sorry Mascot Fighter fans.

My ideas:

Sponge Bob: His combat relies.in extending limbs ala Dhalsim and Vice, as well as swordplay with a spatula. He has a high speed punch attack as quickster, and smelly breath attacks

Sandy Cheeks: she uses karate and tech. She has a teleport move where she's clad in her Miss Appear outfit.

Patrick: A Secret Character, with attacks based on memes

Aang: Uses all.four elements, especially wind

Katara: Waterbending attack.style

Zuko: Zuko attacks with firebending and some.weapons

Toph: Earthbending attacks

Korra: Her bending attacks

Kitty Kattswell: Similar to Sandy, but with assist characters

Madame Catastrophe: a Secret Character, a clone of Kitty

Danny Phantom: uses beams.of ghost energy and help from his dad

Vlad Plasmius: an interesting grab would involve his fangs. He could also use ghost energy.

The Crimson Chin: Attacks with his chin, and the villains as helpers

Jorgen Von Strangle: His wand is used for melee and ranged purposes.

Ultra Lord: A grappler type

Jimmy Neutron and Timmy Turner: they drive a mech to fight

Reptar: Another grappler, but with fire attacks

Powdered Toast Man: Gliding to attack

Jenny Wakeman: Her limbs become blades and guns to attack

Vexus: A Secret Character, not much ideas for her

Po: Body slams, kung fu, pole attacks, Wuxi finger hold...

Goku: The obvious

Xandra: her Colony Drop attack will be in there somewhere.

Red Samurai Ranger: Attacks with his full toyetic arsernal

The Ninja Turtles: the obvious

Rango: Uses a gun and summons Beans amd Jake

Nacho Libre: Wrestling moves

Pickboy: Secret Character

Bloom: Her fire spells

Stella: Secret Character,uses her powers

El Tigre: His claws

Elastika: another Rubber Man type

I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly done with Sola Sonica and 2D

Sounds good!

But you stole the Patrick Meme idea from me...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyM

Would Patrick's final smash be to yell "NO THIS IS PATRICK" before taking the other fighters... and pushing them somewhere else! Then celebrating his victory by playing the mayonaise?

Sponge Bob Square Pants Characters:

SpongeBob is the most iconic Nicktoon and the face of Nickelodeon, so it's obvious his franchise should be in it. The show was good in its time, too bad the show now suffers from Seasonal Rot.

Characters:

• SpongeBob SquarePants: Despite what someone said before, I don't think SpongeBob should rely entirely on KA-RAH-TAY (I'll explain a bit later), but it should be used for some of his moves. He should also have moves that involve bubbles, spatulas and jellyfishing.
  • Hyper Combo 1: Bubble Torpedo - SpongeBob blows a bubble in the shape of a torpedo and launches it across the screen.
  • Hyper Combo 2: Jellyfish Swarm - SpongeBob points his jellyfishing net at the opponent, casuing a swarm of jellyfish to fly across the screen, shocking the opponent.
  • Hyper Combo 3: Goofy Goober Rock - SpongeBob transforms into a rock wizard and shoots laser beams from his guitar. Just like in the movie!

• Patrick Star: I originally wasn't going to have Patrick, but I thought of how he could work. Besides being Acrofatic and relying on his weight, his Hyper Combos would all be based on SpongeBob memes.
  • Hyper Combo 1: CHOCOLATE!!! - Throws a chocolate bar at the opponent, causing Tom the Chocolate Fish to run across the screen (screaming "CHOCOLATE!!!!"), damaging the opponent if he collides with them. A reference to the CHOCOLATE! meme.
  • Hyper Combo 2: "Let's take the town, and push it somewhere else!" - A bunch of Bikini Bottom-style buildings appear in front of Patrick. He says "Let's take the town, and push it somewhere else!" as he pushs the buildings across the screen, barraging the opponent until Patrick makes his way to the other side of the screen. A reference to the "We should take Bikini Bottom, and push it somewhere else!" meme.
  • Hyper Combo 3: "MY NAME'S. NOT. RICK!" - Patrick puts on a name tag that reads "My name is PatRick". This move works as a Counter-Attack. If you attack him, the "Pat" will be removed from his name tag, changing it to "My name is Rick". Patrick will scream "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! MY NAME'S. NOT. RICK!!!", turns all muscular, and body slams the opponent. A reference to the MY NAME'S. NOT. RICK! meme.

• Sandy Cheeks: Now this is exactly why SpongeBob shouldn't solely rely on KA-RAH-TAY, because this is what Sandy's moveset consists of. She would be great with combos, and would be wearing her Kill Bill-esque suit from the episode "Karate Island" instead of her usual suit (sorry for referencing a Seasonal Rot episode).
  • Hyper Combo 1: Great KA-RAH-TAY Chop - Does an epic karate chop (she also wears her karate gloves for this move).
  • Hyper Combo 2: Great KA-RAH-TAY Kick - Sandy grabs the opponent with a lasso and pulls them towards her. When the opponent is close enough, she punchs them up into the air. While they are in the air, she proceeds to finish them off by jumping up and performing a powerful spin kick, sending them into the distance.
  • Hyper Combo 3: Sandy's Rocket - Sandy throws the opponent into her rocket ship, hops in, and blasts off. Once the rocket reaches low orbit, Sandy throws the opponent out the rocket and karate chops them so hard that they are sent back to Earth (complete with flaming re-entry) and slam into the ground.

• Plankton: I know, I know. "How on earth would he fight?", you ask. In a Mini-Mecha, that's how! The mecha's design is based on the robot from the episode "Enemy in Law" (again, sorry for referencing a Seasonal Rot episode).
  • Hyper Combo 1: Spinning Throw - Grabs the opponent, spins really fast, and throws the opponent.
  • Hyper Combo 2: ??? (Don't know)
  • Hyper Combo 3: ??? (Don't know)

Well thats it for SpongeBob SquarePants characters. Thoughts?

Seasonal Rot is temporary, Jumping the Shark is permanent. My ideas for Katswell:

Her moves are based on technology, martial arts, and cat instinct.

Level 1 Hyper: Fatal Pressure: Kitty rolls.into the opponent to attack them with a devastating combo

Level 2 Hyper: Kat Kiss: A Kiss of Death attack much like Poison's poison kiss from Final Fight Revenge

Level 3 Hyper: Katswell Cannon: basically, Morrigan's.Soul Eraser from MVC

I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly done with Sola Sonica and 2D

Assist Trophy: The Ugly Barnacle. He's so ugly that everyone dies.

Easy street has no parking signs.

That didn't help at all...

Just floating around...

Ugly Barnacle sounds like a complete Game-Breaker. Maybe this game could have Synergy Attacks? For example, Kitty Kattswell has a Synergy Art with Dudley Puppy. Normally, Dudley charges and rams the foe when summoned, like Colossus in Marvel Vs Capcom. With Kitty, he instead shoots like crazy.

I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly done with Sola Sonica and 2D

For the mascot fighter, how about Dora The Explorer, Blue and Steve from Blues Clues, and Pablo from The Backyardigans.

I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly done with Sola Sonica and 2D

Here was my roster idea:

• Sponge Bob Square Pants: Jack of All Stats *
  Bubble projectiles and karate up-close, used since he'd basically be the main character

• Timmy Turner (aided by Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof): Confusion Fu and Fighting Clown *
  To reflect how odd his wishes work in the show

• Danny Phantom: Glass Cannon and (sort of a) Shotoclone *
  Can also use both projectiles and up-close fighting, but much better up close, reflects how liable he is to losing consciousness or get seriously injured in-show

• Dudley Puppy: Mighty Glacier *
  In show, while he does have speed, most fights in the show use his raw strength and agility (not speed) rather than much else

• Aang: Fragile Speedster *
  To reflect his Martial Pacifist nature and his original element, meant to fight from afar, and be evasive up close

• Korra: Squishy Wizard *
  Where Aang is more meant to fight from long range and be evasive up close, Korra fights a more midscreen way. Unlike Aang, (just like the source material) Korra can't be evasive up close, so she has to be much more careful

• Rudy Tabootie: The Minion Master and The Engineer ^* Uses his magic chalk to create unconventional things to fight with. He can create actually fighting things, such as robots and clouds as well to help him fight.

• Jenny A.K.A. XJ9: Glass Cannon w/ Super Armor moves ^* She has flight capability and huge range and power in her moves. She has Super Armor in some of her moves, but it doesn't last. Think of her like the Painwheel of this game... she takes SERIOUS time to get right.

• Cat Dog: Confusion Fu and Stance Changer *
  The have 3 stances. One where Dog in is control (Fragile Speedster), one where Cat takes the lead (Stone Wall), and one where they both try to "pull the leash" (Mighty Glacier).

• Ren And Stimpy: A Bash Brothers / Elite Tweak team. ^* :A dual-character that the character can switch off leaders. Stimpy fights up close and Ren fights from afar. That said, if one dies both die, so it's best to switch these characters off and on. Note that both of them have SIGNIFICANTLY different movesets as well, something Bash Brothers don't normally share

• Bessie Higgenbottom: Fighting Clown / Confusion Fu / (Lethal) Joke Character ^* Bessie's style of play is just plain weird no matter which way you slice it, dissonant hitboxes, attacks that look weird, etc.. It doesn't seem like she'd be a very strong fighter when one sees her moves, but she does have plenty of tools for someone willing to put in the time with her

• Fanboy (with Chum Chum there to help): Fighting Clown / Bash Brothers / Fragile Speedster ^* They're like a fast, comedic version of The Ice Climbers. They fight the same and Fanboy uses Chum Chum for some move, but if Chum Chum is out, Fanboy is severely crippled.

• Jimmy Neutron: The Engineer / The Minion Master / The Turret Master *
  Uses his inventions for assistance in battle. Unlike Rudy, Jimmy is pretty much forced to keep himself of the fight, but on the bright side, Jimmy is good with camping because of what he can do. HOWEVER, opponents can kill his machines and blow them up. If Jimmy's withing range, he WILL get hurt by the explosions.

• El Tigre (Manny Rivera): Glass Cannon ^* He is more adept at fighting up close due to his tiny size compare to most of the cast. He packs a HUMONGOUS punch and possesses great speed as well. However, he's the glassiest cannon in the cast, so if someone wants to truly master Manny, they need to find balance in attacking and evasiveness.

• Zim and Gir: Jack of All Stats / (Gir as a Power Up Mount) ^* Zim alone can fight very well with mid-range projectiles and weapons. On Gir, Zim can use a broader variety of attacks, that said, like Carl Clover's Waifu Meter, Gir should not be overused or Zim will end up crippled, since w/ Gir as a Power Up Mount, they become a Lightning Bruiser

• Po: Acrofatic / Mighty Glacier w/ Super Armor *
  Since Po is such a huge target, the people using him have to get used to when the Super Armor kicks in on his moves. Unlike Jenny, Po has some on ALL of his moves because he's fights in a shorter range.

If anyone can think of any other mascots to go with this list (or has an opinion), I'd love to hear it, and where I can improve.

All.main characters? Sound nifty, but Kitty Kattswell and Patrick Star must be unlockable!

Considering that we are trying to get a quality game aimed at us, Nick Jr is a no no.

Sounds good man. But is this for the Traditional Fighter or the Mascot Fighter? Because if it's the latter, I'd suggest Daggett and Norbert, and Ickis too. I'd also suggets more characters from certain shows (SpongeBob, Avatar).

By the way, what did you think of my Sponge Bob character ideas?

I KNEW I forgot someone! DX I even got the page up so I wouldn't forget.

I gotta say, I absolutely love Spongey's moves. Nice references all around. Especially the Lv1 to Battle For Bikini Bottom! Patrick's as well.

Thanks! I'm still having trouble with Sandy and Plankton's hypers though.

I heard Battle For Bikini Bottom is a good game. I hope if this fighter ever gets made, that it turns out to be good too.

In response to last page, Peacock acts a lot like a classic cartoon character, pulling things out of nowhere, including a bomb bigger than she is; whistling to summon random stuff to fall on her foe(s), including elephants, pianos, and fridges; and even using classic cartoon items, like an Elmer Fudd-style shotgun, an anvil (which, in this case, is aanthropomorphic), a sack to stuff her opponent in, and even a mallet (which she stuffs in an empty eye socket once the attack is done, [[Body Horror briefly causing her head to bulge under the size of the hammerhead). She's done wacky cartoon things before, so why can't the Nicktoons?

Of course, I'm not sure some of that stuff could be handled in 3D, which seems to be Nick's go-to graphics style for games.

Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.

I think it's just because Nickelodeon hasn't used a developer that knows how to make the characters look good in three-dimensions yet. For example, in Nicktoons MLB, Danny Phantom and Zim looks way better than they do in the Nicktoons Unite games, yet SpongeBob looks like a guy in a mascot costume.

It can be done though; I've seen photos of parade balloon SpongeBobs that looked good, so why can't he look good in a game? As for the graphics style, maybe they'd look better in cel-shading.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyM

Either they don't give a crap about graphics, they're too busy focusing on either wasteful ad campaigns that accomplish nothing, hyping new shows and killing old non-SB ones, or all three are happening at once.

Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.

I'd say all three at once. The problem with current-day Nickelodeon is they hate all their old shows and hate their older fans. Their games exist to advertise their new shows that no-one cares about.

If this hypothetical game is ever made, it needs to be made by a dev that cares about the shows (especially the old school ones), cares about the quality, and most importantly, cares out the older fans.

By the way, Dragon Geyser, what'd you think of my Sponge Bob character ideas?

I mostly like your ideas, with a few complaints and suggestions:

• It seems weird that Spongebob appears to have direct control of the Jellyfish Swarm. Maybe he could try and put some... Jellyfish Bait or something on the opponent and have the swarm appear that way?
• No complaints for Patrick
• I think Sandy's last Hyper should involve either that space-capable rocket she built in an early episode, or the Alaskan Bull Worm.
• I'd like to see one of Plankton's Hypers involving him going inside his opponent's head to wreck havoc like he did to try and control Spongebob in an infamous episode I do not remember the name for.

Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.

You mean "Plankton". That's the one, but it wasn't infamous. Maybe you are confusing it with "The Inside Job", where he went inside him to find the Krabby Patty secret formula, as that episode was infamous.

"It seems weird that Spongebob appears to have direct control of the Jellyfish Swarm". He has a way with Jellyfish? I don't know. Just though it was cool. Maybe he might throw a jar of Jellyfish Jelly at the opponent to summon them?

"I think Sandy's last Hyper should involve either that space-capable rocket she built in an early episode, or the Alaskan Bull Worm." It was big, scary.... and pink!

By involving Sandy's rocket, do you mean making it like Heihachi's Lv 3 super in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale?

Or we could always use "Did somebody say "Boom"? *explosion*".

I think.the graphics should be 2D, to avoid problems.

I am completely, utterly, and thoroughly done with Sola Sonica and 2D

It's not impossible. There are devs that definitely could do it. It's just that the current devs don't know how to/are too lazy.

Okay, here's my idea for Sandy's Level 3. She throws the opponent into her rocket, hops in, and blasts off. Once the rocket reaches low orbit, Sandy throws the opponent out and karate chops them so hard they are sent back to Earth (complete with flaming re-entry) and slam into the ground.

I'd like to thank Dragon Geyser for giving me the idea of using Sandy's rocket in the idea.

If "The Inside Job" was the one with Brain!Spongebob's house with Brain!Gary, then you're probably right.
