I should preface this by saying that this is still a rough idea and just a moment of inspiration that hit me early this morning as I was daydreaming. I don't know if I could get around to starting up this game for sure, and definitely not without some strong interest. It would be a pretty casual and lax game as far as how I ran it due to other priorities in life right now. That said, without further ado...

Any fans out there of old school arcade beat'em ups, like Final Fight, Double Dragon, or Turtles in Time? What about classic fighting games Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, or (and let's be real here, the actual king of fighters) Street Fighter? This game is meant to be a throwback to those classics that have become so few and far between in the video gaming market. It would run in two distinct phases: crowd battles, in which you fight waves of enemies as you progress to a goal, and ring battles (may or may not include an actual ring) in which you face down someone else who is a trained fighter of your caliber. Obviously these are meant to evoke the two types of games. As for character options, I want to go full on balls to the wall with this. Want a normal (albeit skilled) street punk with nothing but his fists and his wits? Go for it. A trained operative that integrates technology into their fighting style, a la C. Viper's taser gloves? It's all you. A chi based fighter, throwing out hadoukens and sonic booms? Obviously. What about the undead? A full on cyborg or android? Psychic powers? Magic powers? Yes, yes, yes, and yes, so long as they're low-key enough and mostly operate to enhance your fighting style.

So any questions? Who's interested?

I might rip off an anime, an anime parody, a music video with visuals partly based on the first anime, a show that's not an anime but is made in a country close to the country that makes anime, and probably some other anime that has a character with lightning powers because I know there's loads of lightning powers in anime.

Neat. Interested.

Gimme a character sheet template and I'll give you a character baby! I'm interested.

Alright, I think I've got a solid CS for this thing. Just keep in mind that I reserve the right to alter it before the official OOC goes up, since everything is still in its premature stages.



As for the starting plot, a local business mogul is sick and tired of the cops not being able to clean up the street gangs that plague his hometown, so he reaches out and hires some skilled fighters from around the world to come dish out some street justice. Things will spiral from there.

@ProPro So, do we make our own characters or take from a fighting game's roster of characters?

This is all original. The concept is just inspired by these classic games.

Also, got a banner made for this. Woot!



Exit: Banner 2.0. Woo!

Its very tempting to join for a simple seeming, fun, and easy beat em up in the street kinda game.

I can submit a rather tentative interest, but i gotta sleep on it to say for sure so i don't rush myself too fast one way or the other (since i am in a few RPs). @_@

(I'm interested)

Interested, if there is still space

This could be fun.

@ProPro Before I get started I wanted to know how wacky or fantastical the characters/rp will be? Like will the rp be like Final Fight? I wanted to make a grounded straight woman type character since you brought up TMNT.

It'll be mostly grounded in terms of the world around you with the occasional cyborg or mutant (like Blanka) or sorcerer coming out of the woodworks once in a while. That's just the world, however, as the players are welcome to go just about as balls to the wall as they like. Basically, all kinds of wacky and over the top things exist in the world, and they're known to exist, but they're rare/uncommon enough that at a glance it looks the same as our own world. That answer your question?

@ProPro Perfectly. I figured but I wanted to make sure

You already knew my interest in our Discord, but here's me formally stating it.

interest.

For everyone interested, I have an ongoing Discord server for all my games and general friend community. If you want to join it for this game, follow this link and just tell whoever is online at the time that you're there for Fighting King: discord.gg/SMaaC6p

I'm in the process of getting the OOC ready and ironing out some of the specific details. Feel free to join the discussion.

Alright, the OOC is up! roleplayerguild.com/topics/177403-fig…

Count me interested.
