Lately, the idea of putting Sailor Moon in a REAL fighting game has been appealing to me, so I decided to cast my own version. This way, I could share some of my own ideas on how my dream SM fighter would play out.

--------------------

GAMEPLAY
Gameplay is mainly based on the earliest VS games and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, in that fights are 2-on-2 tag-teams.
*The Super Gauge is of a three-level design. One full level can be used to launch a Super Attack (each character has two of them to choose from) or to Cross-Counter (switch characters while blocking an attack). Each character also has a Hyper Attack that consumes three levels.
*Inactive characters can launch an Assist from off-screen. Characters can choose from one of two different Assists before the fight, usually one for offense and one for defense.
*Two-man Super Attacks can be launched either as Delayed (one character launches a Super, then the other launches while the first is still in effect) or as a Cross-Combo (both characters launch Supers together).
*All fighters can use Mega Crash, which creates an energy burst around them that pushes the opponent away (so as to escape from cornering and combo traps). However, it can only be used three times per team per match and it also consumes a portion of Vitality when used.

ROSTER
Sailor Moon === Ryu
Sailor Venus === Ken
Sailor Mercury === Cammy
Sailor Mars === Dhalsim
Sailor Jupiter === Zangief
Sailor Uranus === Guile
Sailor Neptune === Chun-Li
Sailor Pluto === Rose
Sailor Saturn === Ibuki
Sailor Chibi-Moon === Sakura
Tuxedo Mask === Guy
Katarina === Lucia
Oppositio Sin === Sagat
Queen Beryl === M. Bison (Dictator)
Sailor Galaxia/Chaos Galaxia === Akuma/Shin Akuma
Sailor Cosmos === Ingrid

GRAPHICS
The graphics appear as if they were hand-drawn for an anime (like in Wario Land: Shake It! or SSF2Turbo HDRemix), giving the characters fluid movements in a vibrant environment.

ARCADE MODE
Arcade Mode consists of seven standard matches and a final boss stage. A simple, usually humorous ending plays for the character who delivers the killing blow on the boss.

Depending on the player's skill, they may also have to fight Chaos Galaxia or Shin Akuma after the final boss. They are tough opponents, so tough that they have no need for an ally to aid in destroying you. You only get one chance per game to win this battle.

STORY MODE
Story Mode weaves a multi-chapter narrative through a series of scripted battles. Each chapter focuses on a single character. Depending on the player's choice, they can recruit an ally to aid in fights (though the availability of this option will vary). Between battles, various scenes highlighting the interactions between characters play out.

At first only the chapters for Sailor Moon and Ryu can be played. Once their chapters are completed, new chapters open. Each chapter ties into another, with some characters remembering past defeats or victories in earlier chapters or making declarations that are carried out in later chapters. In the final chapter, any two characters can be selected to take on the fights leading up to the final boss.

The plot is still under development, though it's not going to be a Final Fantasy-level affair. Basically, a as-of-yet-unknown entity (not Chaos, so don't bother suggesting) decides to search beyond the SM universe to find warriors able to destroy the Sailor Soldiers. The SF characters get picked, and they get sent to find and fight the Sailors, though everybody has their own personal motives which don't always line up with the entity's intended plan. The story takes the SM and SF characters through both their respective worlds as they fight alongside and against each other in what eventually becomes a combined effort to locate and destroy the reality-rending entity.

--------------------

Accepting suggestions for stages, quotes, and anything else. Anything from either series is open to choose from, but character suggestions are now officially closed. I may adjust the roster over time, though.

Nice Idea! You should make the reality bending entity Yami from Okami, seeing as how Capcom likes to mix every thing with Street Fighter. Also It would be nice (to me at least) to have Guy, Cody, and some of the Shadow Galaxia in there somehow. And try to explain the revival of some of the villains.

A very good Idea, very good.


Yami isn't a SF character, Gill (SF3) on the other hand would be perfect for that role. My Character suggestions are:

Vega====Esmeraude, both are obsessed with beauty and are also pretty psychopathic.
Cody====Sailor Lead Crow, Both have bad tempers but are really skilled fighters.
Evil Ryu====Dark Mercury, Both are evil versions of main characters (hey, Capcom vs Snk 2 did it)

I am however having trouble with finding one for Guy to fight, any suggestions?

Let me take that back, it should be Vega====Zoisite.

Guy == Tuxedo Mask (just cause you forgot him)

I think the entity (YAMI!!) should be the reason for the revival of the villains. Also because I can, here are my pair ups:
Fei Long===JunJun
Ibuki===Sailor Aluminum Siren
Juri=== Sailor Tin Nyanko

Sorry, but no Yami. I want to keep the Capcom half of the roster entirely Street Fighter.

As to the villain revival, this specific SM universe used in the game isn't going to be set in the manga or anime timelines, but something of a mix between them and PGSM. This way, I can write some villains (namely Beryl) as still being alive and evil and also incorporate other SM subplots from the continuities in the writing. For the matter of 'dead' villains, we'll just say that the entity can have a bit of sway towards keeping choice baddies alive 'for later use'. Apsu, perhaps...?

Anyway, I like the suggestions from everybody. I've been looking for a good matchup for Tuxedo Mask and Guy sounds like a reasonable pairing (both being silent protectors), so it'll get in for sure. Give me some time to review the others and I'll adjust the roster accordingly.


Sailor Mercury isn't a main character, so it doesn't quite work. Technically, I already referenced Dark Mercury by pairing Mercury with Cammy, since Cammy has also suffered through the trauma of being brainwashed for evil.

Finally, I removed Chibi-Moon and Dan. They didn't match up as well as I thought and I can't think of any better pairings.

Ok, I understand. But instead of Dark Mercury===Evil Ryu, Then how about The PGSM version of Princess Serenity? You did say that the universe is a mix up of the various SM universes and it would make a bit of sense.


Don't throw Dan out just yet, You could use Fisheye or Sailor Iron Mouse.

That might be good...but that could be a little off putting, I am all for putting evil versions of characters in crossovers, but even I don't think that would work, what do you think Maetch?

I personally think Abel would be a good character to add, but I have no idea who he would fight. I think he would be a better grappler type then Zangief.

If a character has a variant that is different from the normal version, it'll be made as an alternate form and NOT as a separate character. So far, I am limiting the alternates to Galaxia and Akuma.


I've thought of picking El Fuerte as Jupiter's matchup, but Zangief is the highest-priority grappler, so he stays (for now).


Well, the thing is that Dan is outright pathetic as a fighter, so I need an equally-pathetic SM character to match up with him. Chibi-Moon, despite how the anime portrays her, isn't THAT bad.

Be of good cheer! Sprites needed is already there.http://sailormoonforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=14655

Thanks, but your style of spriting doesn't suit my concept. Besides, this isn't going to be a real game. It's only for fun.

Yes, I noticed that too. Will update . Stylistics sprites SNES. I know that Street Fighter Need a better idea.

So a meaningful way, in a topic, if all this would not be ?

What about Memet? She was pretty pathetic.

Here is my suggestion:

Gill====Mistress 9: One (Gill) Represents order, The other (Mistress 9) Represents chaos.

That could work, Didn't Mistress 9 appear as a separate character from Hotaru In Another Story?

If that is included go with Germatoid===Urien.

Hmmm... I suppose that works.


No, Hotaru and Nine were still one and the same. Black Lady, however, was made separate from Chibi-Moon.

I think you guys solved the Evil Ryu problem, just use Nine as his rival.

Also, when will this take place in SF timeline? during or after IV? Also try to add Gouken to the list, and Sailor Luna too, Seth would also be a nice add.

Nice, You added them!, It feels strange without Cody on the list though.


I forgot to ask about this but, would you go with a 3D/2D style like Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Tatsunoko Vs Capcom if you wanted? Not Dissing your idea, just a question.

Street fighter sucks

It should be SNK vs Sailor Moon

Nakoruru is hotter than Sailor Moon

Go Troll On someone Else's Tread A**hole. (Sorry for the language)

That is just harsh.

Anyway, Here is my new suggestions:
Seth===Oppositio Nergal: Both are power hungry who value might above all else (If Seth does not fit, Go with Rolento.)
Blanka===Kishar: both are token monsters that aren't evil (I think)
Karin===Oppositio Ishtar: both think they are the best and most favored.
Cody===Opposito Marduk: (hey, if the Previous Cody match up does not work, this might).

Nakoruru = Zoycite

But Mistress Nine is NOT the main character.

The SF timeframe is sometime after SFIII:3rd Strike, but no specific references aside from the obvious ones (Bison killed Charlie and Chun-Li's dad) will be made.


3D would make it look ridiculous. Go look up the games I mentioned on YouTube to get an idea of how it should look.

Okay, as of this post, character suggestions are closed. I appreciate the input, but the roster's starting to get too big. I may need to cull the list some.

Please Post when you are going to make an updated list, That way I can come up with win quotes, I have one for Vega to Chibi Moon, It's from SF IV, but it fits well:
"How dreadfully dull. Nothing offends my refined senses more than children."

I haven't forgotten about this topic. I've just been thinking hard about other things, namely two very off-kilter additions for the roster: Katarina (Sailor V's police ally) and Lucia (Haggar and Guy's police ally from Final Fight 3).

And before anybody shoots down Lucia, bear in mind that Maki from Final Fight 2 made her Street Fighter debut in a VS game (Capcom VS SNK 2) before being ported to Alpha 3 MAX, so there is a precedent to cite.

I am not going to shoot her down, I think it keeps the tradition of having SF and Final Fight in the same universe, Though, I am not sure what kind of moves you would give her.

Anyway, still hoping for Cody to make it. (If you think that this is annoying you, you can tell me to stop at any time)

The Inclusion of those two Is a good choice.

After playing SVC chaos and seeing Violent Ken, I began to wonder If you should make up an evil character for the moon side. It doesn't have to be a "Main" character, just an evil version of a Sailor Senshi. For my money It should be Minako, It would make a nice shock to have someone as fun loving as her become a violent monster.

Well, I wanted to include a second Final Fight rep, given how interconnected it is with Street Fighter, but I wanted to pick someone different. Preferably someone that's NOT so closely associated with Guy like Maki and Cody are.

Anyway, Lucia has a far more varied moveset than most other FF characters, so she's not too hard to expand on. Katarina would most likely fight in the style that KungPow gave her for the Sailor V game, with some athleticism and a few firearms. I also want to work her Youma form into her moveset as a Super or Hyper.

Also, I have given Cody thought, but he won't get in. Sorry.


Sorry, but no other 'evil' characters are getting in, SM or SF. To me, such characters are obnoxiously overused cliches in fighting games and I want to avoid that as much as possible. The only reason why Galaxia and Akuma get a pass is because their alternate forms are canon to their respective worlds.

That is still fine, It is different. And you did get Final Fight in there.


That is also fine by me, And you are right about Evil characters being cliched. But I can still see why people would want them.

Anyway are you planning (or considered) on including SF 3 or 4 characters in there?

I put Ibuki in as Saturn's new pairup (while shuffling Sakura to Chibi-Moon's). They're both young, aspiring warriors, though somewhat isolated in their upbringing. So far, I've mostly focused on the SF2/Alpha casts since they're the most recognized in VS games.

As to other SF3/4 characters... I think my roster's reasonably sized as it is, so no more add-ons (for now).

If you want to add quotes, feel free to do so. I'll also accept special character intros (where the initial two characters that appear at the fight's start have special dialogue and/or animations, like Ryu and Ken high-fisting each other).
