I cant believe you guys are talking about imbalanced heroes here....cmon you seriosly cannot try to take charecters from different games and set them as same power level as shown in the series.
You just take them. Make spells look and function sameway as in the series.
Thats why i said that we could buff them and stuff. If the character only has a laser gun and a bike, theres not much you can do. Theres also some charachters that are long term time based, such as Chopper, who can only use a "super powerup" once every 6 hours. We obviously cant set the cooldown for six hours.
Balancing should come later. A guy with a gun and a motorcycle could be nerfed/buffed from cooldowns, damage, energy costs, movement speed, max health/max energy, etc2 you get the idea.
and plus you guys dont have to follow the actual abilities to the word. Like say, Soifon from Bleach would be imba if she could kill anyone in 2 stings from her shikai lol. Instead make it a damage crit or something.
Ive played some anime maps in WC3 before, such as Anime Fight and Fight of Characters (im not sure if the names are correct, it was long time ago), and i have to say i prefer my fav characters nerfed beyond its anime capabilities rather than being flamed for picking an imba character @_@.
@Zolstice:
Yea, FoC and Anime Fight were both ok games. However, rather than making Soifon's shikai a 1 hit KO, i think it would be better to make her attack do no damage, but have a higher and higher chance of killing that specific character (It would have to start very low to be balanced)
Thx for your 2 cents; every little bit counts.
Jaxter you put me on the team to help with balance and general moves with the characters right? I can spin the spells a lot of ways to make it playable and not imba from the get go. But someone like the normal kid on a bike with laser is almost impossible to spin with 3 or 4 spells and one ult depending on how you want the spells set up. Anyone with multiple abilities shown in the actual anime are easy because it doesn't matter how strong they are it's just about novelty of the characters and making them seem genuine with their abilities and looks.
You guys were asking for more character ideas and I thought some from Akira would be fun. But I agree with Keyeszx, Kaneda (the guy on the bike) is not the type od character you need. Comparing Akira to the other animes you're going to use and the need for special abilities I think Tetsuo is the only one you could use.
Well, anyway, atm, we have only one data editor. and 90+ heroes. Either we lose a few heroes or we get another data editor. Or we just wait until next year for the alpha.
i say loose a few heros for now and then as soon as we get another data editor we leave em out, because i really want to have the alpha out this year!!! this game seems so amazing :D
I am highly pleasured that FS/N got the highest rating at the moment.
It by far is the best series. And coincidently it's heroes are just perfect for a fighting map.
Three things:
1) F/SN was in Fight of Character has lots of models, which is why we're using it.
2) Who's frog?
3) Poo-getti-os is not an acceptable passphrase.
4) I lied. I have 4 things to say.

As gintoki would say "just do it!"
